Health Tip: May 29

One mango provides over a day's dose of vitamin C, two-thirds the recommended amount of vitamin A, nearly half the recommended amount of Vitamin E, and a quarter of your fiber, potassium, iron, and nitronic acid for the day.

Health Tip: May 22

Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise.
