Start Your Healthy Lifestyle

Living a healthy lifestyle is more than just cutting calories to lose weight or taking the stairs. It is about paying attention to the benefits individual foods and nutrients provide for our body. It is also about developing a regular schedule of physical activity that includes family and friends, whether it is playing soccer with the kids or walking the dog through the neighborhood. Healthy living is truly a way of life that brings quality to our lives.

At Del Monte Foods we encourage Americans to live healthier lives. We enable families to gather together around the table to enjoy healthy, great tasting and convenient meals.

From our variety of natural fruits, vegetables and tomatoes, to comforting broths and nutritious pet foods and snacks, we offer healthy, high-quality foods that nourish the entire family.

And we are supporting programs that encourage healthy living. From strategic partnerships with the Sesame Workshop and Discovery Health Channel to renowned chefs and cutting-edge nutritionists, Del Monte is helping people to make lifestyle choices that will result in a lifetime of good health.

Just remember that simple steps like these can yield significant results.

Just One More^TM for Healthy Living

Add just one more serving (just half a cup) of fruit, vegetables and tomatoes daily to your diet. Many types of fruits, vegetables and tomatoes are rich in antioxidants and nutrients that have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease.

Power-Up Your Pantry

Stock your pantry with a variety of fruits, vegetables and tomato products so you have foods for nutritious cooking readily available to create a great meal.

Get in Shape: Up, Get Out and Get Moving

Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park your car further away from the office, mall or grocery store. Or take a 20-minute walk during lunch. Even small bursts of activity will help with how to get in shape.
