I'll give you one guess about the fruit that we're featuring for Eating in Color: Blue...
It's Time for Spring Fun with Berries!
Spring is finally, finally in the air and one of the things I'm most excited about every year is fresh spring berries.
Spring Kale Salad
Here is a lively salad that has a lot of crunch. Serve it for lunch or dinner with a grilled protein item.
The ABCs of Fruits and Veggies
It’s National Nutrition Month! This year’s theme is “Go Further with Food,” and what better way is there to fuel the fun than with fresh fruits and vegetables?
MyPlate Meal
One of the things I love about MyPlate is its practicality. Rather than asking you to imagine your daily eating habits as a pyramid, MyPlate simply rallies its viewers to make their plates look like its own image: a balanced plate. With half the plate devoted to fruits and vegetables, and the rest divided between protein and whole grains (with some nonfat dairy on the side), MyPlate presents a healthful approach to any meal or snack...
Brain-Healthy Foods
For the most part, the foods you eat to help your heart also nourish your noggin. People with heart disease are more likely to have cognitive impairments and dementia. That’s not surprising since both the heart and the brain require healthy blood vessels free of atherosclerosis...
How Do Minerals Work: Part Two
Minerals are micronutrients, and we need them for good health. There are 15 different minerals that can be divided into two primary groups: macrominerals and trace minerals.
Dried Fruit: A Healthy Alternative to Fresh

Dried fruit is a good source of fiber, potassium, and iron, and though some antioxidants (such as vitamin C) are lost during the drying process, dried fruit manages to retain a high overall antioxidant content.
How Do Minerals Work? Part One
We don?t eat rocks or dirt, but did you know that they are actually an important part of the food chain? Minerals in the earth are absorbed by water and plants, and then we absorb those same minerals when we eat plants or drink water. We also get minerals when we eat or drink foods that come from animals that consumed the mineral-rich plants and water.
Proclaim the Joys of Blueberry Month with Communicating Food for Health!
No single food can supply all the nutrients you need. For example, milk has calcium and vitamin B12 but it doesn't have any vitamin C. Oranges contain vitamin C, but they're B12 bereft! That's why you need to eat a wide variety of foods. It's also a good idea to make sure that the foods you eat are nutrient-dense. Some foods are more nutrient-dense than others, so choose wisely. In honor of Blueberry Month, we thought we'd feature these tasty, nutrient-rich berries...
