Could your diet use a nutritional tune-up? A healthful diet has many
benefits and it doesn’t have to be bland and boring. Add color to your
plate with fresh fruit and vegetables, choose whole grains and low-fat
dairy, and keep an eye on your portion size. Aim for balance, variety,
flexibility and moderation.

Reading Labels
When you're studying food labels at the grocery store, keep in mind what "free" means. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, "free" means that the food contains none of or only a very small amount of the nutrient in question: fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, sugar or calories. "Calorie-free" means fewer than 5 calories per serving. "Fat-free" means less than 0.5 grams of fat per serving.
