Print this Recipe This book is all about eating foods that are good for you and, even more importantly, enjoying what you eat. Just about everyone recognizes that healthy eating is a good idea, yet in a survey conducted by the American Dietetic Association, less than half of Americans felt that they were doing all they could to eat well. The three top reasons why were: * A fear of having to give up favorite foods. * It takes too much time. * Information on health is contradictory. Forget your fears! Healthy eating can be easy and convenient, and it can include your favorite foods. Through news reports and headlines my lead you to believe that certain foods are poor choices or that there are quick fixes to feeling great, it reality, common sense and balance are the mainstays of good health. This book is about common sense and balance, and it’s about putting the fun back into food. Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cooking Today connects the dots between good taste, good food and good nutrition. You’ll see, as you flip through the pages, that they connect perfectly. Diet and Health What’s The Connection?

Take a look: * More than one-third of all cancers is attributed to diet. * Three of the five major risk factors for heart disease (that are controllable), including blood cholesterol level, blood pressure and weight, and influenced by food. * Many new research studies link certain vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals (naturally occurring substances in plant foods) with a lower risk for disease. * Diet and inactivity result in 300,000 deaths in the United States each year. * Seventy percent of the diagnosed cases of heart disease are related to obesity. This is the short list. Diet and health and connected in many more ways. But enough of the startling statistics; it’s time to look at what you can do to make your life healthier. At the top of the list is reducing fat and cholesterol in your diet. Fat and cholesterol are two of the most influential dietary components that affect your health. Both are associated with a higher risk for heart disease, and fat has been linked to other health problems, such as cancer and obesity.

No. Instead, take the constructive approach to learn what you can do about fat and cholesterol to become well and stay that way. The payback, in terms of good healty, is well worth the effort.
