Heat until the water begins to boil. Turn the heat down slightly so the broth will not overflow. Let boil approx. 20 minutes. While boiling, sauté the celery, onion and carrots in olive oil for about 10 minutes, or until softened. When chicken is cooked through, after approximately 20 minutes, remove from broth and place on cutting board to cool. Now add sautéed vegetables, noodles and soy sauce to the broth. While the soup is simmering, cut the chicken into cubes and shred with your fingertips. Return the chicken to the soup. TASTE THE BROTH.

Choose whole wheat bread instead of white bread. Whole wheat bread is made with flour from the entire wheat berry, giving it more healthy fiber and vitamins. In the store: When deciding on which bread to choose, look at the ingredients. The first ingredient listed should be whole wheat flour. 2. Choose spinach or romaine instead of iceberg lettuce. Spinach and other dark leaved lettuces contain more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants than iceberg. In the store: Packaged spinach and other dark leaved lettuces are often available which allow for easy use. 3. Choose water instead of drinks containing added sugar A good goal to shoot for is to drink half of your body weight in ounces of water each day. (ex. 120lbs/2=60 lbs60 oz.) In the store: Instead of spending money on sodas and other high sugar drinks, carry water with you during the day.

   Pamphlet  by:  Amy  Foster,  Dietetics  Student    

5  simple  switches  for  a  healthier  diet    

1. Choose  whole  wheat  bread  instead  of  white  bread.  Whole  wheat  bread  is  made  with  flour  from  the  entire  wheat  berry,  giving  it  more  healthy  fiber  and  vitamins.  In  the  store:  When  deciding  on  which  bread  to  choose,  look  at  the  ingredients.  The  first  ingredient  listed  should  be  whole  wheat  flour.        

2. Choose  spinach  or  romaine  instead  of  iceberg  lettuce.    

Spinach  and  other  dark  leaved  lettuces  contain  more  vitamins,  minerals  and  antioxidants  than  iceberg.    In  the  store:  Packaged  spinach  and  other  dark  leaved  lettuces  are  often  available  which  allow  for  easy  use.        

3. Choose  water  instead  of  drinks  containing    added  sugar  

A  good  goal  to  shoot  for  is  to  drink  half  of  your  body  weight  in  ounces  of  water  each  day.  (ex.  120lbs/2=60  lbsà60  oz.)    In  the  store:  Instead  of  spending  money  on  sodas  and  other  high  sugar  drinks,  carry  water  with  you  during  the  day.

4. Choose  low  fat  and  fat  free  dairy  products  instead  of  full  fat  dairy.  

Low  fat  and  fat  free  dairy  products  contain  the  same  amount  of  calcium  and  vitamin  D  as  whole  milk  products,  but  with  fewer  calories  and  less  saturated  fat.    In  the  store:  When  looking  for  milk,  cheese  and  yogurt,  choose  the  low  fat  or  fat  free  options.    

5. Choose  olive  oil  or  canola  oil  instead  of  butter.  Butter,  and  other  fats  that  are  solid  at  room  temperature,  raise  LDL  cholesterol,  which  can  contribute  to  cardiovascular  disease.  Olive  oil  and  canola  oil,  however,  contain  more  healthy  fats  that  are  essential  to  your  diet.    In  cooking,  olive  oil  can  be  easily  substituted  for  butter,  especially  when  sautéing  fresh  vegetables  and  chicken.  In  the  store:  Choose  plant  based  oils  (mono-­‐and  polyunsaturated  fats)  that  are  liquid  at  room  temperature.    Check  the  nutrition  label  and  try  to  avoid  foods  that  contain  trans  fats  or  high  amounts  of  saturated  fats.    

                             

Remember:  Choosing  a  healthier  option  should  not  be  considered  a  “diet,”  it  should  be  considered  a  choice  for  a  healthier  lifestyle.      Source:  myplate.org
