HEALTHY CHOICES FOR 2012

Select some seafood that is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, such as salmon, trout, sardines, anchovies, herring, pacific oysters and mackerel.

Processed meats such as ham, sausage, frankfurters, and lunch or deli meats have added sodium. Check the nutrition facts label to help limit sodium intake.

Make half of your plate fruits and veggies - vary your veggies.

Choose unsalted nuts and seeds to keep sodium intake low.

Make at least half of your grains whole grains.

Choose lean or low-fat meat and poultry.
