DEATH, THEY SAY HIS INJURIES ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH A CAR ACCIDENT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO
UPDATE YOU AS SOON AS WE LEARN
MORE.
>>CORLEY PEEL: LOSING A FEW
EXTRA POUNDS OR SIMPLY EATING
HEALTHIER ARE SOME OF THE MOST
COMMON NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS.
BUT IT CAN BE OVERWHELMING TO
SAY THE LEAST TO GET STARTED
WALKING TO THE GROCERY STORE
AND YOU MAY BE BOMBARDED WITH
QUESTIONS OF WHAT TO GET.
JOINING ME NOW IS DEBBIE
SILVERMAN AND MAYO CLINIC.
NUTRITIONIST. GOOD MORNING,
DEBBIE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING HERE WITH US THIS
MORNING.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>>CORLEY PEEL: WELL, THE LAST
FEW WEEKS PEOPLE TEND TO
OVERINDULGE. I KNOW I HAVE
MYSELF AND AFTER ALL, BECAUSE
IT IS THE HOLIDAYS. WHAT DO
YOU SUGGEST FOR PEOPLE WANTING
TO GET BACK ON TRACK AND EAT
HEALTHY?
>> CAN TELL MY PATIENTS IS
THAT THERE ARE 3 PILLARS THAT
ONE NEEDS TO LOOK AT. WHEN YOU
WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH
AND GET BACK TO HEALTHY
EATING. SO ONE WOULD BE
MOVEMENT TO, OF COURSE,
NUTRITION WHICH I’M TALKING
ABOUT THIS MORNING. AND THEN
THIRDLY, AS WE ALL GETTING
ENOUGH SLEEP. SO THAT CAN YOUR
ABILITY TO MAKE THE RIGHT
CHOICES.
>>CORLEY PEEL: AND WHAT IS THE
BEST STRATEGY FOR THOSE
LOOKING TO EAT HEALTHIER? KNOW
YOU MENTIONED THAT HERE. BUT
KIND OF WANT TO KEEP YOURSELF
IN CHECK.
>> SUGGEST TO PEOPLE IS TO
FOCUS ON MORE FOODS TYPE DIET.
YOU MENTIONED THE SUPERMARKET
AND YOU KNOW THAT USED TO BE
SHOPPING OUTSIDE HOWEVER,
NOWADAYS, WHEN YOU SEE SOME OF
MORE MODERN SUPERMARKET, I
WOULD CITE, I HAVE BECOME
INSIGHT AISLES. SO WHAT
RECOMMEND IS LOOKING FOR FOODS
THAT HAVE ARRESTED INGREDIENTS
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER READ THE
FOOD LABELS. A COUPLE THINGS
TO FOCUS ON IS SERVING SIZES
THAT WOULD BE IN THE
CONTAINER. SO ANYTHING THAT
PROCESS WOULD BE SOMETHING IN
A BAG OR BOX OR CAN. SO MAKE
SURE YOU LOOK AT HOW MANY
SERVING SIZES. ALSO THE
SODIUM, THE SODIUM SHOULD BE
LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF
CALORIES PER SERVING. AND THIS
THE ADDED SUGAR, WHICH IS A
NEW THING. SO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT THAT IF YOU’RE MAN,
YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR ADDED
SUGAR TO 50 GRAMS OR LESS PER
DAY. FEMALES, 40 GRAMS OR LESS
OF ADDED SUGAR. ALSO IF YOU
HAVE HEART DISEASE, THE
RECOMMENDATION IS 38 FOR MALE.
AND 25 FOR A FEMALE. SO WE’RE
NOT TALKING ABOUT WHAT MIGHT
BE IN THAT’S KIND TYPICALLY I
FIND MY PATIENTS ARE CONFUSED
ABOUT THAT AND HAVE GOTTEN
SOME MISDIRECTION. SEE, WANT
TO MAKE SURE YOU DO INCLUDE
FRUIT AND A HEALTHY DIET, EVEN
IF YOU ARE DIABETIC.
>>CORLEY PEEL: WHAT GOAL
SHOULD PEOPLE SET WHEN THEY’RE
LOOKING TO CHANGE THEIR DIET?
>> SO THE BEST WAY LOOK AT
POLLS IS TO BE REALISTIC. SO
IF YOU’RE NOT EXERCISING TO
SAY THAT YOU’RE GOING EXERCISE
AN HOUR A DAY WHERE THEY SAY
THAT YOU’RE GOING ELIMINATE
ALL SODIUM FROM FOODS IS NOT
BEING REALISTIC. SO, FOR
EXAMPLE, LET’S SAY THAT YOU’RE
GOING TO BE. PLANT BASED MEALS
3 TIMES A WEEK. WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO EXERCISE? 3 TIMES A
WEEK WE’RE START TO READ FOOD
LABELS LIMIT YOUR ADDED BUT
THE REALISTIC I FIND MANY YOU
KNOW, GET TO BECAUSE THEY’LL
SAY I WANT TO GET BACK TO WHAT
I WEIGHED. YOU KNOW IT WHEN I
GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL WHICH
OFTEN TIMES AS WE KNOW ISN’T
VERY IS IT REALISTIC AND MAY
NOT ACTUALLY THE THERE FOR
YOUR LONG-TERM HEALTH.
>>CORLEY PEEL: ALL RIGHT. THIS
IS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW. IS IT
OK TO JUST REACH FOR THAT
COOKIE EVERY NOW AND THEN
>> EVEN THE REALLY COOKIES
WANT I TRY TO RECIPES THAT
USE, RIGHT? YOU SUBSTITUTE
STATES TO MAKE HEALTHIER
COOKIES. THERE’S A THAT YOU
CAN FIND ONLINE YOU KNOW YOU
NEVER HAVE TO BUY A COOKBOOK
ANYMORE. LET’S FACE IT. YOU GO
ONLINE. I OFTEN WILL MAKE
THINGS WITH OATMEAL WITH WITH
RAYS AND USING RAISINS OR
APPLESAUCE OR PUMPKIN INSTEAD
ADDING SUGAR IN. SO I THINK
IT’S FINE TO DO THAT. I THINK
THAT IF THAT FORCING YOURSELF
TO BE SO RICH IN OFTEN BREEDS
SUCCESS. RIGIDITY IS SOMETHING
THAT PEOPLE REALISTICALLY
BECAUSE WE’RE ALL HUMAN, HAVE
A DIFFICULTY WITH. SO I THINK
THAT COOKIES ARE GUY. THAT’S
GREAT TO HEAR MEAN EVERYTHING
IS GOOD IN MODERATION.
>>CORLEY PEEL: ALL RIGHT.
