Have you set any goals or resolutions for the New Year? For many people, healthy eating is one of their important goals. Dairy is an important part of healthy diets, as recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and numerous nutrition experts. In order to help your customers or employees meet their healthy eating goals, here are a couple of resources that could be useful: information from the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation, of which IDFA is an associate member, and a new web resource from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation Make resolutions this month to try new, nutritious recipes. Why not bring out the slow cooker? This will keep food warm while you pick up the kids. Save the leftovers for lunch the next day in individual plastic bags, and teach kids about portion control. To help families achieve healthy lifestyles, the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation developed the Together Counts™ program. Families can find more tips like these using the Together Counts™ programs at www.togethercounts.com. Cold weather shouldn’t stop your family from being active. Plan a family game night, play hide-and-seek or organize a scavenger hunt around the house. Outdoor activities will help everyone avoid cabin fever. Find a local ice-skating rink or sled down a hill in the neighborhood. This month, talk to your family and write down the top 10 things you could change to obtain a healthier lifestyle – let this be your guide for the new year. USDA Super Tracker USDA’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion has just unveiled a new "Super Tracker" interactive website. This tool allows consumers to compare the nutritional content of different foods, plan meals and activity, and track their food intake. Their overall diet can then be compared to the Dietary Guidelines and MyPlate recommendations for intake of food groups, calories and certain nutrients. Consumer messages on the site encourage three servings of low-fat and fat-free dairy each day, particularly milk and yogurt. Cheese, especially low-fat and reduced-fat versions, is also encouraged, but it's identified separately within the dairy group. What do you do to help your customers eat a healthy diet, including low-fat and fat-free dairy?
