Food Tips

I found these tips in a copy of Taste of Home and thought it was worth sharing.

 

Almonds – Just an ounce a day packs a good dose of vitamin E, calcium, fiber and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

 

Broccoli – High in fiber, low in calories, broccoli fills you up without expanding your waist line.

 

Lean Pork and Soy – Both are excellent protein sources that are low in fat and calories.

 

Raisins – These dried grapes are full of photochemical that help reduce LDL cholesterol and prevent the formation of plaque in the arteries.

 

Garlic – Use often when cooking to garner its cholesterol-lowering effects.

 

Black Beans – Another terrific low-fat protein source that packs a solid antioxidant punch and lots of fiber, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and control cravings.
