Join family physician Brian C. Reed, M.D., in celebrating #NationalNutritionMonth with expert tips for a healthier you! A healthy diet can help prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Focus on: ?? Colorful veggies – Add greens, reds, and oranges to your plate to reduce the risk of hypertension, high cholesterol, heart disease, and promote eye health. ?? Fruits & whole grains – Choose whole, unprocessed options to help with digestion, regulate blood sugar levels, increase energy, and reduce the risk of chronic disease. ?? Lean proteins – Opt for poultry and fish which help lower cholesterol and preserve lean muscle mass. Vegetarians – tofu, quinoa, Greek yogurt, and lentils are a great source of protein! ?? Limit sugary drinks & processed foods – Drink more water, avoid sodas, and go for natural foods. Excessive sugar leads to weight gain and an increased chance for developing chronic diseases. ?? Bake or grill, not fry – Healthier choices make a difference! Fried food absorbs a considerable amount of fat which can pose many health risks and can cause chronic diseases. #NutritionMonth #HealthTips #UHHealth
