ASN OFFERS ADVICE FOR EATING WELL DURING A RECESSION March 31, 2009—As we reach the end of National Nutrition Month, the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) would like to offer tips for cutting back on food costs and continuing to eat nutritiously in 2009. It can be quite affordable to eat well with fewer resources, but it means choosing foods more wisely, spending a bit more time in the kitchen, and staying away from high-fat, high-calorie convenience foods. ASN President James Hill, PhD, stated that, “Taking a few small steps toward changing your food purchasing habits can produce positive results over time. As the economy struggles and Americans seek ways to reduce daily costs, it is important to remember that nutrition does not have to be sacrificed.” Hill offers consumers several ways to spend less money on meals and maintain a healthy diet: • Fruits and vegetables are two of the most economic and nutrient-rich offerings at the grocery store. Try to purchase what is in season. In the spring, that would include asparagus, artichokes, greens, radishes, cherries, and leeks. • Try to reduce the number of meals you eat at restaurants. Even one more meal prepared at home can save money. • Bring your lunch to the office instead of buying it every day. • Make a shopping list for the grocery store to reduce impulse buys. • If you need ideas for meals, the Internet has a wealth of recipes. The term superfood was initially given by nutritional specialists (mainly in the media and food sales industry) to describe those foods that are deemed to be very good for our health. This is because these food items are packed with essential vitamins and minerals and complex compounds that are not often seen in many of the foods we eat on a regular basis. This is in part due to the type of diet we are eating in the modern western world as we have less time and finance to buy and prepare wholesome foods so we seem to stick to frozen meals and processed foods that are not particularly beneficial to health. Many nutritional experts now deem the term superfood to be slightly misleading and a ploy of the producers and retailers as a way of fooling the public into thinking their health is protected by food alone. Whilst food does play a huge role in our health there are also other contributory factors such as lifestyle, genetics, pollution and employment that may risk our health. In fact many experts believe the term superfood should not exist as the foods classified into this group are products that we should have been eating regardless of marketing and that the public need re-educating on threw whole subject of food and nutrition. What Sort Of Vitamins And Minerals Are Found In Superfood? The answer to this question really depends on what sort of superfood you are referring to. This group of foods is not small so the amount of different minerals and vitamins available to you is quite extensive. In general, as long as the produce is fresh and not processed, it is likely that is will contain some vitamins and minerals. Most of the products in the fruit and vegetables group contain high levels of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants so these are superfoods. The general rule is, the more organically grown the better it is for you. Also, the darker the colour for example, dark green or deep red, these contain more substances that are good for our health.
