Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm trying to eat healthier, but I'm not sure how to read nutrition labels.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Reading nutrition labels can be overwhelming, but it's actually quite simple. Look for the serving size, total calories, and percentages of daily values for things like sodium and added sugars.<|im_end|>

What should I be looking for in terms of daily values?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Aim for 5% or less of the daily value for things you want to limit, like sodium and saturated fat, and 20% or more for things you want to increase, like fiber and vitamins.<|im_end|>

That makes sense. What are some good sources for healthy recipes?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
You can find many healthy recipes online at websites like the American Heart Association or the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. You can also try searching for specific ingredients or dietary needs, like "vegetarian" or "gluten-free."<|im_end|>
