What you eat each day affects your health and how you feel now and in the future. Good nutrition plays a major role in helping you lead a healthy lifestyle. When combined with physical activity, your diet can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight and reduce your risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, and promote overall health and wellbeing.

Creating and maintaining healthy eating habits doesn’t have to be hard. If you start by incorporating small changes into your daily habits, you can make a big impact on your eating pattern and create lasting, healthy eating habits. Try including at least six of the following eight goals into your diet by adding one new goal each week.

Choose red, orange, and dark-green vegetables along with other vegetables for your meals. Add fruit to meals as part of main or side dishes or as dessert. The more colorful you make your plate, the more likely you are to get the vitamins, minerals, and fiber your body needs to be healthy.

Switch from a refined-grain food to a whole-grain food. For example, choose whole-wheat bread instead of white bread. Read the ingredients list and choose products that list a whole-grain ingredients first. Look for things like: “whole wheat,” “brown rice,” “bulgur,” “buckwheat,” “oatmeal,” “rolled oats,” quinoa,” or “wild rice.”

Both have the same amount of calcium and other essential nutrients as whole milk, but fewer calories and less saturated fat.

Protein foods group includes not only meat, poultry, and seafood, but also dry beans or peas, eggs, nuts, and seeds. Select leaner cuts of ground beef (where the label says 90% lean or higher), turkey breast, or chicken breast.

Use the Nutrition Facts label to choose lower sodium versions of foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals. Select canned foods labeled “low sodium,” “reduced sodium,” or “no salt added.”

Drink water to cut back on unnecessary calories from sugary drinks. Soda, energy drinks, and sports drinks are a major source of added sugar and calories in American diets. To add flavor to your water, add a slice of lemon, lime, apple or fresh herbs like mint or basil.

Seafood has protein, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids (heart-healthy fat). Adults should try to eat at least eight ounces a week of a variety of seafood. Children can eat smaller amounts of seafood. Seafood includes fish such as salmon, tuna, and trout and shellfish such as crab, mussels, and oysters.

Eat fewer foods that contain solid fats. The major sources for Americans are cakes, cookies, and other desserts (often made with butter, margarine, or shortening); pizza; processed and fatty meats (e.g., sausages, hot dogs, bacon, ribs); and ice cream.

To maintain your healthy eating habits, try the following tips.

Nearly Live From The Wendyhouse Studios of Valois Bay…

This week we had to sequester all of the Dads into their own man caves and home studios to avoid any risk of catching a Meat Space virus or bug. So we all jumped onto Skype where we were joined by a slightly chilled but otherwise healthy Stephen Hackett of Forkbombr.net in a snow covered Memphis and talked about the new Mac App Store, the Verizon iPhone, Ben’s new iPhone 4, the Magic TrackPad, Stephen’s clamshell iBook and his new mega-desk, the benefits of Apple Care. But it wasn’t all Happy Apple Talk, Steph let us in on his troubles with Bell and how he’s been getting on with WoW Cataclysm. And finally we review the new CAC Avalanche Bulletin app from the CAC in partnership with MEC, Canada’s excellent outdoor activities coop.

Nearly Live From The Wendyhouse Studios of Bournemouth UK…

In our year end International Extravaganza, Francois and Steve travel to Europe (UK and Switzerland) while the Steph tends to the rink and Ben and Eric spend some well deserved relaxing time with their families. Chris Allen joins the Dads to discuss PS3s and parhaat suomenkieliset nettikasinot gaming, speciafically Call of Duty Black Ops, Euro-GSM phones, and how the Brits cope with snow and a wicked cold-weather snap and the way that Swiss fountains run like clock work on chocolate and cheese. The Dads also spend some time reviewing Stephane’s progress with the back yard ice rink, discuss travelling with kids and reminiscing on good times spent with old friends over the years and some of the really cool people we met this year over the InterWebs and in the “Meat Space”.

This year’s PodCamp Montreal was such a big even for us, we’d like to thank all of those who pushed us to attend and give back to the Montreal podcasting scene which also got us involved with Cupcake Camp Montreal and iSpyMontreal.

The All new Adventures of Toaster-Ben

Nearly Live From the Wendyhouse Studios of Valois Bay…

In this first of a two part mini-series: Mononque is Tweeting and up for the cataclysm. Google needs more presence on the web and the TSA fails the American Thanksgiving screening. Maybe their plan of action was put on the web by Wikileaks, the ultimate representation of stupidity. Couldn’t they have been targeted for DoS?!?

This week we welcome André Nantel, renowned FiB Montreal Systems Biologist, Photographer, Traveller, Gamer, and experienced Dad of two to the Mesa 14 Restaurant on Bishop for a very special live edition of the show. Among the many topics of the night, we finally find out what biologist love yeast so much, André explains his research into Candida Albicans and how even Post-Grads feel the full ire of Windows licensing and insane DRM. We also review some of the highlights of André’s semi-pro photography and how he’s managed to make it pay for his gear, which also got us talking about our travels and backups in the field. And of course we couldn’t possiby have André on the show without talking Zombies, The Walking Dead and this week’s Audible Pick World War Z
