Good Morning
Well
we have had lots of wet weather over the weekend, the benefit is that
it washed away a lot of those grass pollen's that have been hanging in
the air and our gardens got some much needed moisture.
Anyway
on a completely different note today's topic is about why it is
important to read food labels. I may be preaching to the choir, but if
you do not read food labels you may want to check this out.
All
packaged foods come with a nutrition label which allows us to see
exactly what we are eating and compare it to similar products. The
labels provide key information such as serving size, calories, total
fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, protein, carbohydrate and vitamin
content, by being aware of daily nutritional allowances we can refer to
food labels for guidance as to how to reach your goal of cutting back on
these components.
For Instance, checking food
labels for the fiber content plays a role in helping you increase your
intake, not all brown breads contain rich amounts of fiber, and some
manufacturers use coloring to make bread look healthier, so it's crucial
to read the label.
It is important to
determine your nutritional goals first, so that you can make the best
use out of food labels. The information on serving size is particularly
important since the nutrient information listed on a label is often for
more than one serving.
