Hey there YMCA community!
This week’s #healthyhabits challenge is: Focus on serving sizes. Read the labels. Fill up on heart-healthy foods first.
“The goal is to eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy proteins,” says Jamie Kandora, clinical nutrition manager at Tidelands Health. “Limit your intake of processed foods and reduce your consumption of foods with added sugars and saturated fats, which have been shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular and other disease.”
Focus on small changes. Limit the opportunities to cheat on your healthy habit goals. Make a meal plan to be prepared to avoid setbacks.
Have a healthy week!
