My 17 year old son has just informed us of his New Year's resolution - he will no longer be eating meat. It's fine, as long as he replaces the nutrients in meat with other foods. Substitute cheese, tofu, beans, eggs, and low-fat dairy products is key. Choose one or two servings of these at each meal. Dairy is especially important, as he is in the peak bone-building years.
Tea can be a very healthful drink.
It has lots of antioxidants, especially green tea. This amount should be okay for most people, but some teas can have more caffeine than others. Try some herbal or fruit teas for variety. Let 2001 be the year we focus on ourhealth, not just our weight. And make eating healthfully a family project.
