DIET AND NUTRITION

Does it ever seem like everything you thought you knew about food has been disproved? information we learned in school on avoiding starches and eating plenty of red meat has been reversed. We’ve found that other old favorites, like whole milk and cheese, should be limited. These days it‘s hard to know what to eat and where to look for reliable information. But while it may seem perplexing, taking the time to learn about nutrition will pay off with better health for you and your family. One of the best places to learn about healthy eating is from a world map. Other countries can teach us a great deal about avoiding fatty foods, cooking creatively with less meat, and using more fresh vegetables in our meals. Looking to the rest of the world will also add variety to your diet. Plan meals with an international flair and you’ll not only get all the necessary nutrients, but you’ll surprise your family with zesty new dishes. So eat a variety, for your own good health.
