Then go out and walk the mile. If it takes you 20 minutes, that's 3 mph; 15 minutes is 4 mph; 13 minutes is 4Â½ mph, and 12 minutes is a highly athletic 5 mph. The brisker your pace, the more calories you will burn. But if all you can manage is a 20-minute mile, don't worry; walk regularly, and within 3 weeks, your pace and endurance will increase. Aim for 4 to 6 power walks a week.
1 What FDA Regulates FDA is the federal agency responsible for ensuring that foods are safe, wholesome and sanitary; human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices are safe and effective; cosmetics are safe; and electronic products that emit radiation are safe.
The FDA works with Congress, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other governing bodies to set food-labeling standards. The FDA does not preapprove labels but has the right to request changes or removal of labels that do not meet its specifications. Therefore, food manufacturers have some freedom in labeling and can work creatively to provide consumers with the information needed to make purchasing decisions (FDA 2008).
