The ultimate list of how to eat healthier

by Sarah J. Gim, Posted Sep 24th 2006 @ 5:02PM

There are lists of good foods. There are list of bad foods. Some of the foods show up in both places. It's hard to keep track of what we should be eating when health and nutrition "news" comes at us from every direction, but nutrition professor and writer Chris Rosenbloom has culled that information, translated it, categorized it, and created a list of 50 ways to help us eat healthier. None of his tips are earth-shattering, but it's nice to have them all in one place. For the details, see his list, but here are the major categories of types of things to do with a few examples of his tips:

Reduce risk of disease, e.g. olive oil, yogurt, and nuts
Increase fiber, e.g. eat fruit instead of drinking its juice
Manage weight, e.g. monitor liquid calories
Snacking smart, e.g. microwave popcorn with no butter
Eating out, e.g. choose fish to be grilled or blackened instead of fried
Sneaking in more produce, e.g. add dried fruit to breakfast cereal and top chicken breasts with salsa
Finding resources, e.g. www.mypyramid.gov and www.eatright.org

Sure there is the That's Fit blog but considering their sporadic posting I would prefer to see the information here rather than make a special trip to that site and hope for a new post. In addition, more people see Slashfood and this is the sort of information that needs to be broadcasted to a wider audience.
