Health Tips

1. Eat a variety of foods  For good health, we need more than 40 different nutrients, and no single food can supply them all. It is not about a single meal, it is about a balanced food choice over time that will make a difference! A high-fat lunch could be followed by a low-fat dinner. After a large meat portion at dinner, perhaps fish should be the next day’s choice? 2.

However, too much of it can negatively affect our weight and cardiovascular health. Different kinds of fats have different h...

Blueberries are a good example because most stores carry them and they're loaded with antioxidants. Raw Vegetables Raw vegetables make an outstanding snack. They satisfy the desire to crunch, they're full of water to help you feel full, and they're low in calories. Half a cup of diced celery has just 8 calories. Coat celery with a little peanut butter or dunking carrots in salsa. When you're in the mood for chips and dip, replace the chips with raw veggies.

Snacking is often not limited to these age groups because adults and seniors often do the same.
