What does a potato chip offer? Pretty much nil on the valuable nutrients score, and it’s a great source of oil, calories and salt. A good rule of thumb is to go with foods that come packaged by Mother Nature, i.e., apple (skin) versus chips (plastic bag), banana (peel) versus candy bar (wrapper). Both you and the environment will be around longer to enjoy each other. Swap regular yogurt for low-fat or fat-free yogurt. Dairy foods are a great source of calcium and Vitamin D, which help keep bones from thinning. But the saturated fat in whole milk, cheese and yogurt contributes to artery clogging. Switching to low- or no-fat dairy gives you all the benefits without the risks. Swap diet soda for water There is no better beverage than water to help you stay hydrated, which is important in keeping body systems running well. Diet soda quenches thirst, but some experts still worry that its artificial sweeteners — officially considered safe — may be linked to cancer. Dr. Katz’s main concern with them is that they propagate a sweet tooth, which leads to more sugar intake and the overall deterioration of the diet. Swap white bread for whole grain bread Whenever you replace white flour with whole grains — in bread, cereal, pasta — it’s a strike against aging. Soluble fiber, found in oats and barley, has been linked to lower levels of insulin and bad cholesterol (think: diabetes and heart disease), and insoluble fiber in whole wheat reduces risk of gastrointestinal maladies like diverticulosis. Check out bread made with the new albino whole wheat — it tastes like the real white thing. Swap 1/4 of your meat for fish Fish is an ideal lean protein source, low in saturated fat. Certain varieties such as salmon are also high in omega-3 fatty acids —vital for heart and possibly brain health. Unfortunately, some species also contain contaminants: If possible, eat wild versus farm-raised salmon and limit albacore (white) tuna to one meal a week. If you’re pregnant or nursing, check out the guidelines at epa.gov/ost/ Swap 1/4 of meat for lentils Saturated fat (which meat tends to have a lot of) can gum up arteries and speed you toward heart disease. Too little fiber (meat has zero) can accelerate the aging of the gastrointestinal system. Beans and lentils are the opposite of meat: lots of fiber and no saturated fat — and they provide protein. You can’t lose. Swap milk chocolate for dark chocolate Dark chocolate (look for at least 60 percent cocoa) is a concentrated source of antioxidants, which protect cells from age-related damage; milk chocolate contains significantly smaller amounts. And chocolate’s fat doesn't raise cholesterol. Preliminary results from Dr. Katz’s lab show benefits to blood vessels two hours after eating dark chocolate or drinking it in cocoa. Nibble an ounce or sip a small cup — the calories still add up. See Dr. Katz and his numerous books online at www.davidkatzmd.com. Article Published: May 15, 2011 |
