MayoClinic.com Highlights 20 Tips for Healthy Eating

Rochester, Minn.(PRWEB) February 6, 2008 -- Healthy eating doesn't need to be boring or tiresome. Flavorful food combinations, fresh cooking ideas and a creative spirit can liven up meals and snacks. A new feature on MayoClinic.com provides simple tips to keep healthy eating (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy-eating/NU00641) interesting and enjoyable.

Here is a sampling of tips featured on MayoClinic.com to help individuals eat healthier:

-- Experiment with new foods and combinations. Try mango or peach slices on whole wheat toast with a little peanut butter and honey.

-- Try something new for breakfast. Munch on leftover vegetable pizza or make a smoothie blended from exotic fruits, low-fat yogurt and a spoonful of wheat germ.

-- Add crushed bran cereal or unprocessed wheat bran to baked products, such as meatloaf, breads, muffins, casseroles, cakes and cookies.

-- Grill fresh vegetables for a quick and healthy side dish. Cut vegetables into 1/2-inch slices or large chunks and baste with a light salad dressing or brush them with canola or olive oil. Grill until tender, turning only once.

-- Take advantage of ready-to-use foods. Fresh bagged salads, frozen vegetables, low-fat deli meats, whole wheat pasta, whole grain breads, and fresh and canned unsweetened fruits take only minutes to prepare.

-- For breakfast on the go, munch on dry, ready-to-eat cereal with a banana and drink a small carton of low-fat or skim milk.

In addition to nutrition and lifestyle tips, MayoClinic.com provides users with an interactive Healthy Weight Pyramid tool (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy-eating/NU00641). The new tool focuses on your age, weight and height to determine a targeted daily calorie goal.
