Protein provides amino acids to rebuild muscle, helps us build red and white blood cells and is crucial for our immune system. The new dietary guidelines may be confusing to you as it emphasizes full fat dairy and meats over grains, fruits and vegetables. This is counter to years of research that tells us that adequate but not excessive protein is healthy. We also know from research that animal fats can contribute to inflammation, high cholesterol and digestive issues. What is “enough” and what is healthy for most of us? Most adults should consume 2-3 low fat dairy servings per day in addition to approximately 8 ounces of protein from lean red meat, poultry, fish, legumes, eggs, and nuts. Some people need more, some less. So don’t be satisfied with a bowl of pasta for dinner - add some white beans, fish, or chicken to round out your meal in addition to some veggies! And if you want to know exactly what is right for you consult your registered dietitian for an easy to follow plan!!

Fruits and veggies are essential to health and well being. Many fruits also provide antioxidants, vitamin C and even iron (dried raisins, apricots and figs) in addition to gut healthy fiber. Add dried cranberries and sliced banana to your oatmeal, add orange slices or grapes or chopped apple to your salads, have fruit for a snack! Berries for dessert are always a good idea. Most adults should consume 3-4 servings of fruit each day. One serving is a small to medium size fruit, one cup of berries or chopped fresh fruit, ½ cup fruit juice, and ¼ cup dried fruit. Enjoy daily!

Coffee is so often demonized but did you know that it is rich in antioxidants, B vitamins, and minerals like potassium, phosphorus and folate? The FDA recommends that adults consume less than 400mg of caffeine each day, usually the amount you get in 3 cups of strong coffee. Coffee can keep you mentally focused, improve your energy and provide the above mentioned antioxidants. In recent studies coffee has been shown to protect us from Type II diabetes, liver disease, dementia and certain types of cancers. Just be aware that it is easy to consume too much caffeine as it is found in over the counter pain relievers and medicines, in chocolate, in teas, and in dangerous “energy” drinks. Be sensible about how much you consume and reap the rewards.

It is no secret—those wonderful grains, breads, cereals , potatoes, pasta, fruits and veggies are the #1 fuel source for all of us. Don’t fall prey to bad nutrition and weight loss advice telling you to eliminate carbohydrates to lose weight! All you will lose will be muscle and water! Lack of adequate carbohydrates promotes muscle wasting and water loss as well as low blood sugar, cravings, digestive issues, decreased energy, loss of mental focus and depression. Not a pretty picture. Find room on your plate every single day and every time you eat for this essential, nutrient packed food group.

When you practice mindful eating, you will reap many benefits:

Most importantly you will experience enhanced enjoyment of your food as you really taste and appreciate textures, aromas, and flavors.
Your digestion will improve as slowing down and chewing your food thoroughly will aid digestion and nutrient absorption.
It can reduce stress and emotional eating as you become more aware of hunger and fullness cues and eat accordingly rather than in response to an emotional trigger.
It will help with portion control and most likely better weight management in an effortless way.

It’s worth the effort to make the time to nourish yourself and do nothing but that! It can change your world!

By practicing mindful eating, you will automatically slow the eating process down which can improve the whole experience leading to slower eating and greater body awareness. Serve what you need and stop when you are comfortably full. This process can take about 30 minutes before the nerves in the stomach signal the brain that you are full. This can foster having a balanced diet by making you more mindful of what and how much you are eating, which means overall better health.

Keep in mind that “snacks” don’t necessarily have to come boxed or bagged. The best snacks come from whole foods that combine protein, fat and carbohydrate. Here are some additional ideas:

Peanut butter with apple slices
Plain popcorn and small glass of juice
Low fat string cheese and pear
Raisins and nuts
Cottage cheese and fruit

You get the idea! Plus you will save money by passing on the packaged snack foods and save on sugar, sodium and excess calories!

Electrolytes are minerals with an electrical charge that are important for many functions including nerve conduction, muscle activity, and balancing fluid levels. Our kidneys do the heavy lifting of balancing these minerals, but here are a few tips on how to help out from a dietary point of view.

Most importantly, avoid excessive supplementation because mineral balance is very delicate. Focus on healthy food and hydration choices.

Include fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, low fat dairy and lean proteins at each meal. These foods provide potassium, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus - everything you need to keep balanced.
Watch your salt intake. Sodium is an electrolyte but too much can cause an imbalance. Most of our dietary sodium comes from packaged and processed foods.

Stay hydrated: drink plenty of water during the day. For every pound you lose from sweat (after working out or dancing) replace 2 cups of water.

During intense exercise or after illness with vomiting or diarrhea, you may lose more electrolytes than usual. Consult your doctor as they may recommend an electrolyte replacement drink. These are used sparingly as again, mineral balance is delicate.
