Healthy Alternative Snack Foods

Making The Next Level commitment may mean that you should make some changes in your diet. My first suggestion is to eliminate the daily consumption of pop and sodas. These drinks are loaded with sugars and artificial sweeteners. Over consumption of these types of beverages can only lead to problems. Keep in mind that an occassional Coke is not going to affect you. Today's other suggestion is to decrease the amount of "junk" foods. Cut down on chips, overbuttered and high fat popcorn, ice cream, and cookies. Notice that I suggest cutting back. Many of those types of foods contain high calories but of little nutritional value.

Have a Heart........

Today, let's focus on omega-3 fatty acids. Fish is a good source of protein and doesn't have the high saturated fat that fatty meat products do. Fatty fish like mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon are high in two kinds of omega-3 fatty acids. These omega-3 fatty acids can play an important role in reducing our chances of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). A good goal would be to try and consume fish twice per week.
