Healthy, Nutritional New Year

If you’re still feeling the holiday bulge, the new year is the perfect time to enact healthy resolutions. Watch out for saturated and trans fats and opt for healthy fats instead found in canola oil, avocados, nuts and seeds. “Contrary to popular belief, fat is your friend,” the author notes. “It provides energy, protects organs and provides insulation. But it needs to be consumed in moderation and should not comprise most of your daily caloric intake.” Other healthy resolutions include consuming whole grains, choosing fruit over fruit juice and cooking with lean protein such as skinless chicken and fish.
