Breakfast - Fuel for the Day
 | |
Registered Dietitian Aren Dodge explains the importance
of breakfast. |
"I am not hungry when I wake up," or "I don't have time for breakfast," are common excuses people use for not eating breakfast, but may be something they need to reconsider.
Studies show that people who consistently eat breakfast within an hour
of waking weigh less than their peers. This is true for all ages, from adolescence through adulthood. "Breaking the fast" by fueling your body with food helps jump start your metabolism so that you can burn calories more efficiently. It also helps with concentration and performance at your job or in the classroom.

Healthy Eating, Healthy Living |
 | | Choco-Avo Mousse is a delicious, healthier way to end dinner. |
This month we are taking your favorite recipes and adding a secret, healthier ingredient - avocados! Avocados are packed with a number of vitamins that help lower cholesterol. Remember, it only takes a small amount of good fat, so serving size is key.
In this Creamy Avocado and Veggie Pasta, avocados offer the same effect as a cream sauce, without the unhealthy fat. The Avocado Chicken Salad replaces most of the mayonaise with avocado and the Choco-Avo Mousse uses avocado to replace cream. While unusual, these recipes will leave you wanting more! |
