Some examples of good nutrition choices are English muffins, nonfat yogurt, granola, pita bread, bagels, oatmeal, rice, turkey breast sandwich, soups, and fresh and dried beans. Of course, keep fat and cholesterol low. When trying to cut down on salt intake, cooking with herbs can bring out the flavor of a dish without making it spicy. Examples of this are basil and tarragon in chicken dishes, dill, thyme, oregano, rosemary in vegetable dishes and soups, and lemon juice, garlic, and onion in general cooking.

Fiber reduces the risk of heart disease, constipation, diverticulitis, and diabetes.
