Did you know?
1. Archeologists have found evidence that humans have been enjoying apples since at least 650 BC!
2. Bananas do not grow on trees…they are actually a giant herb.
3. The first carrots were grown as medicine, not as food.
4. Grapes contain antioxidents known as flavenoids and phenols that help prevent heart disease.
5. Onions are an excellent antioxidant and they contain anti-allergy, anti-viral and antihistamine properties.
6. Peaches are a member of the rose family.
7. Tomatoes are high in vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and potassium.
8. Watermelon gets it’s red color from lycopene, a powerful antioxidant.
There’s lots to learn about the foods we eat. Hopefully you have picked up a fact you didn’t know and can share it with family or friends. See you next month!
Pull up the website, www.ChooseMyPlate.gov and look for the many links to information on ways to apply this strategy. Basically, this plan asks you to eat the foods you enjoy, but just eat a little less of them. Make half of your plate fruits & vegetables. When you eat grains or grain products, make half of them from whole grains (brown rice or whole wheat bread, for example). Switch to fat free or low fat dairy products. Here in Brevard County, School Food Service has done this for you! That’s right; check those labels on your chocolate & strawberry milk! Both are fat free. We are serving skim milk in addition to our 1% white milk also.
On the website you will also find interactive tools, information about the different food groups, dietary guidelines and “Let’s Move”; the First Lady’s campaign to raise healthier kids.
Look for the 10 Tips Nutrition Education Series I will be posting on the serving lines throughout the year. We hope you will find the tips useful to help you on your way to a healthier you! Visit http://www.ChooseMyPlate.gov for more information.
