Health Tip: Become a Heart-Healthy Chef
By LadyLively on February 11, 2015
Cooking meals at home gives you greater control over the healthiness of the foods you and your family eat.
The American Heart Association suggests these healthier cooking and preparation methods:
- Trim visible fat from meat before cooking. Look for beef marked as “choice” or “select” for the leanest cuts.
- Look for “round” and “loin” cuts of pork and other meats.
- Opt for lean poultry breasts instead of legs and thighs, and always choose skinless.
- Substitute egg whites (two egg whites for one whole egg) in recipes that call for eggs.
- Opt for low-fat versions of milk, cheese, yogurt and other dairy products.
- Choose fat-free or lighter versions of salad dressings for marinades or dips. And look for low-salt choices when shopping.
