Portsmouth Herald Health News: Nutrition tidbits for this holiday season
The Portsmouth Herald ran an interesting story this past sunday. It has some very good tips on how (and why) to watch what you eat.
I definitely recommend it! (I am not sure how long it will be online).
Here is a sampling: "The diet should include a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts/seeds, lean protein foods and adequate calcium. Adequate fluids are important, as well as limiting alcohol and not smoking. If there is a fountain of youth, it is regular exercise - stretching, cardiovascular exercise, activities to increase and maintain muscle and bone strength. Reducing stress, getting adequate sleep, and including some truly restful relaxation activities on a daily basis are also important."
and one more:
"In either case, consuming a diet that includes a high percentage of plant-based foods is a good idea. Researchers continue to find nutritive substances in plants ("phytonutrients") that promote optimal health. These go beyond what is in your multivitamin."
good stuff!!! Eat it and read it :)
