Can busy moms heed health advice? Erica Hill aims to find out
(CBS) Eat right. Exercise. Get enough sleep.
Can a busy working mom really follow all the health advice that comes her way? That's the central question of "The Erica Hill Experiment," a crash course in which the "Early Show" co-anchor is trying to adopt - and stick with - a healthier lifestyle.
Hill is in her second week of the six-week experiment. How's she doing?
"It's easier said than done," she said of the healthy-living rulebook she's been told to follow. Each day she's supposed to eat nine servings of fruits and vegetables, work out for 30 minutes, and sleep for six to eight hours.

To keep Hill on track, "The Early Show" enlisted a team of experts: CBS News medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton, clinical psychologist Dr. Amanda Baten, and personal trainer Sidney Wilson.
Baten and Wilson say she's on track, getting more muscle tone, sleeping a bit more, and paying more attention to what goes into her body. She's substituting green tea for coffee and - when she grabs an egg to eat - eating the yolk as well as the white.
Go Erica!
