New Year, New You
The holidays are over, and if you're like me, you're regretting all the cookies, fudge and adorable chocolate Santas consumed in December. Now that the new year has begun, what better time to start eating healthy again? There are many quality websites to help. FruitsAndVeggiesMatter.gov may be one of the most creative ".gov" urls I've heard of. I really like the diagram showing what counts as a serving (1/2 or whole cup) of a fruit or vegetable. For more info on healthy eating, visit Nutrition.gov, which links you to the new food pyramid and the government's many trusted medical research sites like Medline Plus.
And stop by the library to check out the latest books on health and nutrition. Two of my favorites are Stealth Health: How to Sneak Nutrition Painlessly into Your Diet and Superfoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life. These books both have super easy recipes that taste great. Try the fabulous Patty's Pumpkin Pudding recipe in Superfoods Rx!
