Online Help With Eating Right
If you are serious about wanting to change your eating habits, but overwhelmed with all of the books, websites, magazines, etc. out there, I have an excellent recommendation for you. Now of course I will recommend our site!! But if you want another extremely reputable site loaded with useful info - go to www.eatright.org.
This is the home of the American Dietetics Association and it has information on just about everything you want to know. Here are just a few things the site offers:
* Tips for a healthy heart (February is American Heart Month)
* Food Nutrient Data and Exchange Lists
* Nutrition Fact Sheets
* Good Nutrition Reading List (helps narrow your book search down!)
* Nutrition Information - Brochures, tip sheets and other resources to help achieve a healthy lifestyle.
* The Food Guide Pyramid and how you apply it to your life (you can even personalize it)
* It has an excellent children's section filled with worksheets and games you can use to help teach your kids how to eat healthy.
* Pregnancy, nutritional needs, weight gain, breastfeeding, weight loss, dietary supplements
* If you are a teacher, it has excellent classroom materials including pamphlets, posters, games and coloring sheets from TeamNutrition.
I strongly encourage you to check out this site. There is no question about the credibility. If you have limited time and don't want to sift through a bunch of so-so sites, this is where to go. If I had the time, I could spend all day on it!
We value and respect the experiences of all of our HERWriters, but everyone is different. Many of our writers are speaking from personal experience, and what's worked for them may not work for you. Their articles are not a substitute for medical advice although we hope you can gain knowledge from their insight.
