MONTH AND IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO
MAKE A CHANGE TO FEEL YOUR
ABSOLUTE BEST.
ABSOLUTE BEST. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A CHORE.
NUTRITIONIST JERLYN JONES HAS
THE TIPS.
THE TIPS.
THE TIPS. >> THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.
I LOVE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT FOR
MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AND THAT'S
NUTRITION.
NUTRITION. LET' TALK ABOUT NATIONAL
NUTRITION MONTH AND WHAT IS
THIS YEAR'S THEME?
>> YES, I'M EXCITED BECAUSE
MARCH IS NATIONAL NUTRITION
MONTH.
MONTH.
MONTH. YAY!
YAY!
YAY! AND
YAY! AND THIS YEAR'S THEME IS
PERSONALIZE YOUR PLATE.
AND THIS IS SOMETHING I CAN
RELATE TO BECAUSE IT PROMOTES
CREATING NUTRITIOUS MEALS TO
MEET PEOPLE'S CULTURAL AND
PERSONAL FOOD PREFERENCES,
SOMETHING WE CAN ALL RELATE TO,
RIGHT.
RIGHT.
RIGHT. CHRISTINE: YES, I LOVE THAT.
YOU'VE GOT FIVE QUICK TIPS TO
HELP US BOOST NUTRITION, WHAT'S
THE FIRST ONE?
>> THE FIRST STEP, HOW YOUR
MEALS DON'T HAVE TO BE BLAND OR
TASTELESS.
TASTELESS. I TELL MY PATIENTS AND CLIENTS
TO ADD COOKED DRIED SPICES OR
FRESH HERBS LIKE PARSLEY
INSTEAD OF SALT.
CHRISTINE: I'M TRYING TO DO
THAT WITH THE FRESH HERBS,
WORSE COMES TO WORSE, REACH
INTO YOUR SPICE CABINET AND
THAT WILL DO WONDERS.
SECONDLY, I KNOW WE WANT TO
TALK ABOUT GRAINS.
THAT'S SOMETHING I ALWAYS TRY
TO INCORPORATE AND FILLS YOU UP
IN A GOOD WAY, THOSE GOOD
CARBS, RIGHT?
CARBS, RIGHT? >> THAT'S RIGHT, TRY DIFFERENT
GRAINS.
GRAINS.
GRAINS. THIS IS WILD RICE, OR WHOLE
GRAIN BARLEY.
GRAIN BARLEY. AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE HALF
GRAINS, THEY'RE WHOLES.
WHOLE GRAINS ARE PACKED WITH
FIBER, D VITAMINS AND
ANTIOXIDANTS, AND TRACE
MINERALS, IRON, ZINC, COPPER.
CHRISTINE: I'M GETTING READY
FOR MY GROCERY LIST AFTER THIS.
SOMETHING THAT'S POPULAR, I'M
NOT QUITE THERE, BUT I WANT YOU
TO GET ME THERE, THAT IS GOING
MEATLESS.
MEATLESS.
MEATLESS. >> THAT'S RIGHT, BEANS ALL
TYPES OF BEANS, BLACK EYED
PEAS, RED KIDNEY BEANS OR
LENTILS OR HEART HEALTHY
PLANT-BASED PROTEINS.
PLANT-BASED PROTEINS. THE THINGS ABOUT BEANS AND
LENTILS, THEY'RE AFFORDABLE AND
DELICIOUS.
DELICIOUS. CHRISTINE: I DO LIKE LENTILS.
I HAVEN'T DONE THE MEAT
REPLACEMENT, BUT IF I'M
INCORPORATING MORE OF THAT INTO
THE DIET, IT'S A WIN-WIN.
AND OMEGA 3'S.
WITH THE KID, THE SALMON AND
WHERE ELSE ARE SOURCES.
CHIA OR GROUND FLAX SEED.
CEREAL, SALAD, TOAST OR YOGURT
CAN INCREASE THE CONSUMPTION OF
OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS, A WAY TO
GET IT IN ON A DAILY BASIS.
CHRISTINE: I'M GOING TO TRY
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. AND
THAT. AND LASTLY VEGETABLES, I HATE,
HATE WHEN I OPEN THE DRAWER AND
REALIZE WE DIDN'T EAT THEM AND
GOT TO THROW THEM OUT NOW.
SO, HOW CAN WE MAKE SIMPLE
CHOICES AND MEALS MAKING SURE
WE INCORPORATE FOODS THAT ARE
SO GOOD FOR US.
>> ENJOY VEGETABLES IN ALL OF
THEIR FRESH FORMS.
EAT RAW VEGGIES AS SNACKS OR
TRY VEGETABLES, ROASTED,
STEAMED, SAUTE'D OR GRILLED.
THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS
WHEN IT COMES TO VEGETABLES.
DON'T SKIP OUT.
MAKE SURE TO INCORPORATE THEM
INTO YOUR DAILY MEALS.
CHRISTINE: IT'S FUNNY MY
DAUGHTER WOULDN'T HAVE LOVED
THE BABY PEPPERS.
SHE WENT TO HER GIRLFRIEND'S
HOUSE AND THE MOTHER MADE SOME
AND NOW SHE LOVES THEM WITH
HUMMUS.
HUMMUS.
HUMMUS. I
HUMMUS. I CALLED THE MOM, THANK YOU FOR
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. MAKE SURE WE'RE REINFORCING
GOOD
