Vitamin B-6 Rich Foods

Tip 1 : Skip or limit the breading on meat, poultry, or fish. Breading adds Calories and can increase the amount of fat soaked up during frying.

Tip 2 : Replace solid fats with oils, rather than adding oil to the diet. Oils are a concentrated source of Calories, so use oils in small amounts.

Tip 3 : Drizzle melted dark chocolate on your favorite berries for a special treat!

Tip 4 : Vary your veggies by including celery, lima beans, or squash in your meals.

Tip 5 : Switch it up. Make vegetables your main-dish by topping a salad with your choice of a protein food.

Tip 6 : Osteoporosis (thinning of bones) can be reduced by routinely eating low-fat or fat-free dairy food --at all ages and stages of life.

Tip 8 : Keep vegetables separate from raw meat, poultry, and seafood while shopping, storing, and preparing.

Tip 9 : Make split pea soup with new flavors--try adding caramelized onions and cumin or different vegetables like pumpkin.
