Nutrition Tips
Eating Well:
Eating a healthy diet is another part of the healthy lifestyle. Not only can a clean diet help with weight management, mit can also improve your health and quality of life as you get older.
You can use the new Food Guide Pyramid ( www.MyPyramid.org) to determine how many calories you need and what food groups you shold focus on or, if you're looking for smaller changes, you can use these tips for simple ways to change how you eat:
- Eat more fruit. Add it to your cereal, your salads or even your dinners.
- Sneak in more veggies. Add them whereever you can. Keep pre-cut or frozen veggies ready for a quick salad.
- Switch your salad dressing. Switch to something lighter and you automatically eat less calories.
Eat low- fat or fat- free dairy.. Switching to skim milk or fat free yogurt is a way to eat less calories without having to change too much in your diet.
