THE HEALTHY CHOICE DIFFERENCE

You know what they say: You are what you eat. So, if you want nutritious foods that can give you energy, the secret starts with the fab five: fiber, whole grains, protein, antioxidants, and Healthy Choice. Read on to learn more about the positive benefits from the everyday nutrients in Healthy Choice meals.

Fantastic Fiber
Imagine you could feel full (and stay full) without filling up on calories. Sound like a dieter's dream? It's no fantasy. Fiber-rich foods such as veggies and whole grains can help you feel full, so you can satisfy hunger while keeping portion size and calories in check. But fiber's benefits can go beyond your figure.

Fiber Examination
Fiber is a nutrient your body can't digest or absorb completely. Fiber plays an important role within the digestive tract; it's critical for helping maintain digestive health.

Finding Fiber
Fiber is found in most fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. While the benefits of fiber are fabulous, most Americans only eat about 15 grams per day. That's not enough. In fact, to reap the full benefits of fiber, women need about 25 grams a day, and men need about 38 grams daily.
The best way to incorporate fiber into your diet is through fiber-rich foods—they often have vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that fiber supplements do not. Some fiber-containing food options include beans, apples, carrots, spinach, and broccoli. For example, cooked great northern beans and broccoli have 6.4 grams and 2.6 grams of fiber per serving, respectively.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Top 10 healthy family fitness activities
Fitness activities for families to share

• Family mealtimes.
For many families, sit-down meals together have become a thing of the past, with each family member doing their own thing and then bolting down a convenience meal if time allows. However, the simple act of just sitting down together and enjoying a proper, healthy meal is an excellent family-friendly activity. Making time for a family meal is likely to result in better quality nutrition, as the food is more likely to be home-cooked, and can provide you with a good opportunity to relax and de-stress.

• Outdoor activities.
Whether it’s a playing in the garden, a game of ‘tag’ in the local park or some fun on the swings and slides, simple outdoor games and activities are great for quality family time and exercise. The children will love it and you’ll also benefit from the getting your heart rate a little higher. Make sure all the family members can get involved so that everyone has the chance to exercise.

• Day trips.
Any event that involves everyone getting up and about will contribute to the family’s health and fitness. Visiting the zoo, going to a dporting event or exploring a theme park is something that can be enjoyed by all the family and will also involve expending plenty of calories en route!

Just get up and go! It doesn’t have to be hell to be healthy and using some smart combinations of activities such as the ones above means that you’ll neither neglect your family nor your fitness. Of course everyone is busy and yes, everyone wants a piece of you, but there aren’t many more important things than maintaining your health and fitness and spending some time with your family, so go and do it

Non-sporting healthy alternatives
Of course, not everyone wants to pick up a racket, climb on a bike or get sporty – but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still enjoy healthy family activities! Try some of the suggestions below to give a healthy focus for all the family.

• Walking. For easy family fitness, walking is top of the charts. Walking is the simplest of healthy activities, costs nothing and can be enjoyed almost anywhere. A family walk over a couple of hours will tire out the children and bring a multitude of health benefits including:

• Exercising the cardiovascular system

• Strengthening and toning the legs

• Burning approximately 100 calories per hour
To add further interest for the kids, devise a treasure hunt or award points for different flora and fauna that they see.
