🍍 🍏 Are you making the best food choices????πŸ“πŸ“

Are you eating a variety of fruits and veggies daily?
  Keeping it readily available on the counter  or table will help you to make it happen.

Are whole grains your choice when it comes to cereals, breads, etc?
Whole grains are a good source of fiber and nutrients.  

Are you limiting foods containing saturated fats and avoid trans fats?
Why? Because they raise the LDL (bad fats).  Look for products that say "skim", "low-fat", "reduced fat" or "light" on the pkg. 

How's your salt intake?
Use fresh herbs, spices and fruits to flavor foods instead of the salt shaker.  Also, go easy on condiments, like ketchup (which has salt in it).

Are you  making the best protein choices?
When buying meats choose cuts with "round" or "loin" in the name AND add more beans (high in protein) into your meal planning, such as adding to soups, sauces, etc. 

Take the time to make good choices when it comes to eating; your body will thank you for it!
