Balance Magazine Highlights–May 2017 Issue

5 Things a Dietitian WON’T Tell You p.6
From food choices to portion sizes, here are 5 myths that Dietitians put to rest in order to help you make healthy choices for yourself and your family. Dietitians are trained to give the best advice regarding food choices. Contrary to popular belief, Dietitians will rarely advise to abstain from any one specific food.  It’s more important to be aware of how much we eat. Dietitians are passionate about educating others on how to find balance with their eating choices. 

Healthy-ish Toppers p. 12 
This page features some tasty topping alternatives from around the world. Everything from a spicy Kimchi from Korea to a creamy Tzatziki yogurt dip from Greece, these flavorful toppers are great for any time of the day; spreads on toast, dips for wraps, tossed in a salad, or used as a glaze for items on the grill.

A Gluten Free Life p.32 
This article gives a lot of insight into gluten; including what it is and why it can be a problem for some people. It also highlights the symptoms of the disease and is a great resource for those who experience celiac disease as a part of their everyday lives.  In this article, you’ll hear testimonials from Hy-Vee customers living with celiac and their success in managing the disease when working with a Hy-Vee Registered Dietitian.  During your next shopping trip, check out the Hy-Vee Dietitian pick of the month: Glutino’s Gluten Free pretzels!

The Greener Side p.36 
These next few pages are full of creative ideas on how to add more green to your plate. This section offers a variety of bright recipes to try as well as helpful tips to reuse food and to make life in the kitchen a little easier.

Strong Not Skinny p.48
Setting healthy goals, cutting the right calories, working out for weight loss, understanding weight training, and making cardio count are a few of the hot topics in this featured article. Understanding the importance of all bodies and the different shapes, sizes, and even metabolisms that come with them is key to finding a healthy lifestyle that you can stick with for a lifetime. Rather than focusing on a scale number, which is easy to stress and obsess over, shifting focus to educating yourself on the important macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, and fats) is worth your while. Macronutrients are the building blocks that make you, well, you. Having an understanding of each will set you up to maintain these healthy habits and help you feel your best!
