HEALTH TIP OF THE MONTH
Craving sweets? Treat
yourself to some light, healthy sweets like bananas, strawberries,
apples, and grapes!
According to
mypyramid.gov, eating a fruit-rich diet may reduce the chances of
stroke, reduce risk for type 2 diabetes, protect against certain
cancers, and help decrease bone loss. Talk about a sweet deal. So,
while a box of chocolates may be nice for some, try reaching for a
fruit instead. It’s a great way to treat yourself.
Remember, it’s sweet to be healthy!
