I received a health newsletter from Living Well (sponsored by Johnson and Johnson Inc.) and thought I'd share these interesting tidbits with you:
'When you look at % daily values on a food label, less than 5% is considered 'a little' and more than 15% is considered 'a lot.' So yogurt with 4% daily value of fat and 18% DV of calcium could be a good choice for you. Use daily values numbers to compare similar products.'
'Chili is a super choice for people with diabetes. Kidney beans are carbohydrates, but they are very high in fibre, which slows the rise in blood sugar. Plus, they have 57% of our daily need for folate, which lowers homocysteine levels, and 20% of required magnesium, a natural blood pressure medicine. Chili powder also helps fight inflammation, reduce insulin needs and lower
blood sugars.'
Okay, it sounds as if Chili Con Carne is the new health food!
