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.

tension office 676-9642.
