Tip 1 : Be food safe! Cook whole cuts of beef, lamb, veal, and pork to 145°F. Let meat rest at least 3 minutes before carving or eating.
Tip 2 : Make it easier to include plenty of vegetables in your day by always having them on hand--fresh, frozen, and canned (choose no-salt-added).
Tip 3 : Support your health and community by buying locally-grown fruits. Try visiting a farmers’ market near you.
Tip 4 : Select vegetables with more potassium, such as sweet potatoes, white potatoes, white beans, tomato products (paste, sauce, and juice).
Tip 5 : Multi-grain, stone-ground, 100% wheat, cracked wheat, or seven-grain doesn't equal whole-grain. Look for the word "whole"!
Tip 6 : Make beans, peas, and soy products part of your meals often. Try black bean burgers, hummus, or stir-fried tofu.
Tip 7 : Buy fresh, seasonal vegetables. They cost less and are more likely to be at their peak flavor.
Tip 8 : Calcium-fortified soymilk (soy beverage) provides similar amounts of calcium as in milk. It is available in low and non-fat versions.
Tip 9 : Pack a fruit for lunch--tangerines, apples, bananas, or grapes pack well. Small containers of peaches or applesauce are easy and convenient!
Tip 10 : Chowders make a delicious supper dish --make your own with seafood, vegetables, and low-fat milk. Look for recipes online.
