Site of the Day for Tuesday, July 21, 2009
Food and Nutrition Center Mayo Clinic
Today's site, from the respected Mayo Clinic, presents sound and authoritative
advice about diet and nutrition. Gentle Subscribers, who feel they can't keep up
with the ever-changing headlines on the latest word on the nutrition front, may
find the information presented here provides a solid and reliable nutrition
foundation.
"Do you feel like you can't keep up with the latest nutrition news because it's
always changing? While it's true that what is known about nutrition and diet is
evolving, there are some nutrition basics you can keep in mind. By knowing these
nutrition basics, you'll be better equipped to sort through the latest research
and
advice. ... Mastering the nutrition basics comes down to understanding the
concept
of a food pyramid and the roles of fiber, fat, cholesterol, and calories in a
healthy diet." - from the website
The presentation focuses on the essential elements of a good diet, with
sections on
cooking, menus and shopping strategies and nutritional supplements. In each
section, specific, informative articles offer advice on topics ranging from the
health benefits of olive oil to whether grape juice has the same heart benefits
as
wine. Tucked among the subject specific articles is the "Healthy diet: End the
guesswork with these nutrition guidelines" primer covering carbohydrates,
protein,
different types of fats, cholesterol, sodium and fiber. Additional features
include
information on the DASH diet, videos for honey crusted chicken and grilled
pineapple, recipes for vegetable main dishes, whether vegetable juice is as
beneficial as whole vegetables, the number of calories in sushi, and sea salt
versus table salt.
