Dear Nurse Annie,
My blood pressure is staying down with pills, but my wife
thinks I could do better. What should I be eating? I like meat and lots of
it.
Scared Sam
Dear Sam,
What to eat is a good question. We are all looking for way
to eat better and still enjoy our food.
Saturated fat: (Meat) Make every bite count. The body has to
fight off saturated fat and can make bad decisions about storing it. So we have
heart disease.
Ocean Fish: Add some of this. Look for ways you enjoy fish.
(Not fried).
Vegetables: Eat lots. Explore new ways. Raw. Chopped.
Steamed. Just enjoy lots of fiber.
Fruit: Eat a lot.
Grains: IF you like grains eat whole grains. Mushed grains
are not whole grains no matter what the box claims.
Let me know what you think.
Nurse Annie.
