eating for health

Staying healthy can be a challenge, but lifestyle changes like eating healthfully

and being physically active can help lower your risk for heart disease and other

conditions.

One way to eat a healthy diet is to choose a variety of foods. Variety matters

because no food has all the nutrients that your heart and the rest of your body

need. A healthy eating plan is one that:

• Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk

and milk products

• Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts

• Is low in saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, and added sugars

Also, think about what you drink—choose nonalcoholic, low/no-calorie options

such as water, skim milk, iced tea, club soda, diet soda, and sparkling beverages

as a substitute for regular, sweetened beverages.

When it comes to eating healthfully, portion size also matters. The recipes in this

cookbook are designed to give you a satisfying portion, while helping you stay

within your calorie limits.
