March is nutrition month! Here are some tips from Health Canada for small changes we can make that make a big difference. If a muffin recipe asks for 1 cup of sugar, try using 1/2 or 2/3 cup of sugar instead.... Choose broths that are lower in sodium. Rinse canned beans, chickpeas and peas to remove the salt. Add herbs and spices to recipes for flavour instead of adding salt. Replace saturated fat such as palm oil or butter, with healthier fats such as canola or olive oil. Try adding ingredients with fibre such as flax seeds or bran. Vegetables or legumes can be added to almost any savoury dish for extra nutrients and fibre. Add vegetables to enchiladas, pasta sauce, stews and casseroles. The Food Guide includes online tools and resources tailored to a variety of situations, such as eating well at home, at work, at restaurants; and to different age groups like teenagers, adults and seniors.
