Chris Rosenbloom, Georgia State nutrition professor and former American Dietetic Association spokeswoman, is marking the milestone of her 100th published health column in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution with a collection of 100 simple and easy health tips that can lead to better health. The following are educational online resources Rosenbloom suggests for learning to eat healthy.
With a commitment to helping people enjoy healthy lives, the American Dietetic Association's key areas of interest include: obesity and overweight, with a focus on children; healthy aging; safe, sustainable and nutritious food supply; nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics; and integrative medicine, including supplements and alternative medicine. While some of the areas of the website are restricted to members only, they make a wealth of diet and nutrition information accessible to all visitors.
The MyPyramid Plan helps create a personalized eating plan based on individual needs. By entering in your age, sex, and activity level, the program can provide suggestions on the best diet to follow in making smart choices from every food group; finding the balance between food and physical activity, and in getting the most nutrition out of your calories. The website provides weekly tips and resources.
Provided by the US Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Food Labeling and Nutrition has everything you have ever wanted or needed to know about food labels. Learn how to understand, read and use a food label to your health benefit.
Rosenbloom recommends visiting the bookstores at the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society for cookbooks and reference books.
In reading through Rosenbloom's column, 100 ways to look and feel better, I really did discover creative and unique ideas and tips for making small changes that can make a big difference in developing a healthy lifestyle.
