Barbara’s Top Ten Tips for Healthful Eating
- Learn to read labels. You might be surprised what’s lurking in your favorite prepared foods. While you're at it, look at the KEN DAVIS BAR-B-Q-SAUCE and compare it to the others.
- Eat a variety of foods. You can’t get all your nutrients from one kind of food. Adhere to the old saw, “Moderation in all things”.
- Substitute whole grain for white bread, pasta, rice, etc. The calories may be the same, but the whole grains have fiber, which adds satisfying bulk to food, as well as vitamins and minerals.
- Eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables EVERY day. A multi-vitamin pill helps, but fruits and veggies pack fiber and phytochemicals, found only in plant foods. These enhance the body’s defenses and may help slow the aging process. They have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease and osteoporosis.
- Pay attention to serving sizes. For example, most nutritionists consider a 3-ounce portion of meat to be a serving. A half-pound burger or steak is more than 2 servings!
- Eat more fish. It’s one of the most powerful antidotes to cancer; its concentration of Vitamin D is one of the reasons. And the Omega-3 Fatty Acids are good for your heart.
- Drink more water; substitute it for high-sugar or high-caffeine drinks at least part of the time. Water replenishes your tissues, helps you to feel full, and keeps everything moving.
- Whenever possible, substitute olive oil for butter or margarine. It’s the “good” fat.
- Eat your greens: Fiber- and antioxidant-rich dark leafy greens may help maintain your weight, reduce cancer risk, and protect your bones (Vitamin K and Calcium). They’re also high in iron.
- Enjoy KEN DAVIS BAR-B-Q-SAUCE, All of the flavors are fat-free, gluten-free, and relatively low in sodium. KEN DAVIS BAR-B-Q-SAUCE adds flavor to whatever diet you’re following.
