2017 Healthy Eating Tips
September
NATURALLY SWEET MESSAGES:
• Naturally occurring sugars are found in foods such as fruit and milk.
• Add naturally sweet foods such as dates, bananas, apples and sweet potatoes to recipes.
• Add cinnamon to enhance the sweet taste of foods.
• Sugar enhances the four tastes of: sweet, salty, bitter and umami.
• To improve flavour when reducing the amount of sugar, include spices, extracts, teas and citrus zest.
• Aim for LESS THAN 12 teaspoons (48 g) of ‘added sugar’ per day – about 180 calories.
• Choose beverages with little or no added sugar most often.
• Change your taste for sugar! Gradually reduce the amount of sugar you add to beverages and foods.

For the Love of Tomatoes
• For best flavour, store whole tomatoes at room temperature.
• Tomatoes are a convenient source of potassium, folate, fibre and Vitamins A, C and E.
• When eating raw tomatoes, include a small amount of fat to absorb fat soluble Vitamins. Olive oil or avocados are great additions.
• Red tomatoes are the best source of the antioxidant Lycopene. Lycopene may help protect us against different types of cancer.
• Other sources of Lycopene include watermelon, papaya and grapefruit.

Hydrate Smart
Hydrate Smart
• How much fluid you need depends on your age, sex and activity level.
• Men should aim to drink about 3L (12 cups) of fluids daily.
• Women should aim to drink about 2.2L (9 cups) of fluids daily.
• Water, milk, juice, soup, coffee and tea all contribute to your fluid intake.
• Choose water or unsweetened beverages most often.
• Fruits and vegetables also provide nutrient packed fluids. Add them to your beverages!
• Fluids help your body by supporting digestion and getting rid of waste.
• Headache, dizziness and tiredness can all be signs of MILD dehydration.
• A good hydration habit…drink water when you wake up each morning.
• Don’t wait until you feel thirsty! Drink fluids throughout the day.

GLORIOUS FRESH, LOCAL SUMMER FRUIT!
GLORIOUS FRESH, LOCAL SUMMER FRUIT!
