From the Desk of the medical Director :Tackling nutrition
DO I NEED TO CHANGE WHAT I EAT?If you have any of the following health
conditions or have a family history of them, you might need to consider changes in your diet:•Highbloodpressure•Highcholesterol•Diabetes•Cancer

•Cutbackonextrafat,suchasbutterormargarine on bread, sour cream on baked potatoes, and salad dressings. Use low-fat or non-fat versions of these condiments.
•Eatplentyoffruitsandvegetablesbothwithyourmeals and as snacks.
•Wheneatingawayfromhome,watchoutfor"hidden" fats (such as those in salad dressing and desserts) and larger portion sizes.
•Readthenutritionlabelsonfoodsbeforeyoubuythem. If you need help reading the labels, ask your doctor or your dietitian.
•Drinkno-calorieorlow-caloriebeverages,suchas water, unsweetened tea and diet soda. Sugar-sweetened drinks, such as fruit juice, fruit drinks, regular soft drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, sweetenedorflavoredmilkandsweetenedicedtea can add lots of sugar and calories to your diet. But staying hydrated is important for good health.Balanced nutrition and regular exercise are good
for your health, even if your weight never changes. Try to set goals that you have a good chance of reaching, such as making one of the small changes listed above or walking more in your daily life.

March is National Nutrition Month. Good nutrition is one of the keys to good health. You can improve your nutrition by regularly eating foods that have a lot of vitamins and minerals in them, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat or non-fat dairy.
