Creating a Healthy Personal Food Environment

Miriam E. Nelson, Ph D and Jennifer Ackerman have written a new book titled “The Strong Women’s Guide to Total Health.” Dr. Nelson also developed the program “Strong Women, Strong Bones” which the Brown County UW-Extension will be offering later this year.

In this book, information is shared about creating a healthy personal food environment. These tips make great sense no matter your sex.

  • eliminate highly processed foods and sweetened beverages from your kitchen, office and eatery away from home. Take time to cook on weekends and freeze meals for the week. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables along with whole grains and low-fat dairy products. When possible, buy local and fresh.
  • Plan ahead. With such busy lives it makes sense to keep a good variety of foods on hand though the week and to plan meals in advance. The less likely a person is to plan ahead, the greater the temptation is to buy processed food or to eat meals away from home.
  • Eat a variety of foods filled with great flavor. Use herbs and spices, along with olive oil to flavor food without adding lots of fat, salt and sugar.
  • Limit portion sizes of calorie-rich foods. Bigger servings of high calorie foods, even when they seem to offer great value, are not better if they boost calorie intake and encourage over eating.
