HEALTHY TIPS

Make Healthier Food Choices:


1. Wings: Make skinless chicken cutlets with a low fat, low sodium sauce


2. Chili: Try a vegetarian recipe for chili that is low fat and uses low fat cheese


3. Dip: Make a fresh yogurt based dip using low sodium seasonings and fresh garlic


4. Chips: choose healthier baked potato chips over fried chips


5. Make “mock”-tails instead of cocktails: Try to avoid alcohol and try virgin cocktails


6. Limit alcohol: American Heart Association recommends no more than 1 drink per day for women and no more than 2 for men in order to be heart healthy. If you choose to drink—try light beer, light beer with seltzer and a twist of lime, red wine or red wine with seltzer and fruit to make a sangria type drink, also try mixing in pomegranate juice.
