Let's Do It Healthy

[Guest guest]

Low levels of iron can lead to fatigue. Most individuals have adequate iron levels, but this isn't always true for older or ill adults who face unique nutritional challenges. Often these adults lose their appetite for meat, a food rich in iron. To increase iron levels, eat more iron-rich foods like whole grains, fortified cereals, dark green leafy vegetables and beans.

 

 

 

Put just a few more veggies on your plate, and you can reduce your disease risk. People who live in regions where vegetable consumption is greatest live the longest. How can you eat more veggies? Toss a bag of baby carrots into your bag or briefcase, and nibble on them throughout the day. Add frozen vegetables to canned soup. Add crunch and brilliant green color to salads with snow peas and sugar snap peas -- first cook them briefly, then refresh them under cold running water.

 

 

 

When making tomato sauce, substitute mushrooms or eggplant for meat. Either will add a depth of flavor and a chewy texture that is just as satisfying as meat, without the fat or calories. Bonus tip: Switch from ground beef or sausage to soy-based sausage meat -- it doesn't have the saturated fat or cholesterol of red meat.

 

 

 

Instead of gifts of jewelry for your wedding party, give the gift of health. Buy short-term health club memberships for your bridesmaids and groomsmen. Just don't lose too many inches before the fitting!

This is a great birthday idea too.
