In recognition of National Nutrition Month, learn how to spot a food fad. Unreasonable or exaggerated claims that eating (or not eating) specific foods, nutrient supplements or combinations of foods may cure disease or offer quick weight loss are key features of fad diets. Develop an eating plan for lifelong health. Too often people adopt the latest food fad rather than focusing on overall health. Get back to basics and use the Dietary Guidelines 2005 and www.MyPyramid.gov as your guide to healthy eating. This message brought to you by Eat Smart Alaska and ____________________.
In celebration of National Nutrition Month’s 100% Fad Free lifestyle, find your balance between food and physical activity. Choose foods sensibly by looking at the big picture. A single food or meal doesn’t make or break a healthful diet. Regular physical activity is important for your overall health and fitness plus it helps control body weight, promotes a feeling of well-being and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.
