TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, December 29, 1993 Christmas plants Take small steps toward better diet Have you resolved to “ eat healthier” in the new year? Make it easier on yourself by taking small steps toward a better diet, says Carol Michael-Bennett, OSU Extension home economist in Morrow County. The old standby of choosing a variety of foods is still the best bet in menu planning. Increase car bohydrate and fiber by starting with a foundation of fruits, vegetables and whole grain pro ducts. Because these foods are generally low in fat, you’ll be tak ing a step toward achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Learn to avoid fat and cholesterol by using fats and oils sparingly in cooking. Select lean meats and lower fat dairy pro ducts. Trim all visible fat from meat and remove the skin from poultry. Eat fewer fried foods, creamed foods and rich desserts. Read food labels to select foods with less sugar. Watch for words such as glucose (dextrose), fruc tose, maltose, lactose, honey, com sweetner, and high-fructose corn syrup. Select lower-sugar choices such as fruit packed in its own juice. Reduce your salt intake by us ing less salt in recipes and taking the salt shaker off the table. ‘‘Make changes in eating habits a family affair,” advises Carolyn Raab, OSU Extension foods and nutrition specialist. “ Children and other family members will be more receptive if they’re involv ed in the planning, shopping and cooking.” Is your reason for sticking with an unhealthy diet is because “ it’s hard to cook for just myself?” , asks Michael-Bennett. “ If that describes your situation, plan to attend the program, “ Healthy Meals for one or two” . The first lesson will be offered Thursday, Feb. 3 at 7 p.m. at the Boardman library and Wednesday, Feb. 9 at the Extension office in Heppner. For more information call the ex tension office 676-9642.
