"The other day, we mentioned that the new U.S. Dietary Guidelines suggest to cut down on sodium (I&amp;#x27;ve been eyeing my measuring spoons ever since--I tend to be too heavy handed with the salt). There are other guidelines to follow, too, and they&amp;#x27;re not all about eating less...In fact, several of the guidelines tell us to eat more--more dairy, more seafood, more fruits and veggies. Here are five of the guidelines and some suggestions for meeting them (take a look at the full list here): Eat more fish. The new guidelines say to replace some meat and poultry in your diet with seafood, so that you get eight ounces of heart-protecting omega-3 acids a week. Go for a variety of low-mercury seafood--salmon, anchovies, herring, sardines, tuna. Have more fruits and veggies--the more colorful, the better. Dark-green, red, and orange, these are loaded with phytonutrients and vitamins. Try baking a batch of kale chips and having a banana or orange with your cereal. Trade refined grains for whole grains. Yes, eat the bagel; just make it a fiber-and-nutrient-rich whole-wheat one instead of white. Guidelines call for replacing half of your refined grains with whole grains. Add one more serving of dairy. Most of us eat two servings of dairy per day. Low-fat yogurt, milk, and part-skim cheeses are all good ways of upping the dairy ante. Eat fewer fats and sugars. Adults consume nearly 800 calories a day from solid fats and added sugars--great garbanzo bean! Axe the soda and sugary cereal. What are your favorite ways of cutting down on sugar or adding dairy, fish, fruits and veggies? Are any of these dietary guidelines things you would like to work on--or things you&amp;#x27;re doing already? More on healthy eating: * 5 a Day May Not Be Enough!
