National Nutrition Month: Learn to Cook Healthily [Interview]
March is National Nutrition Month and this morning I welcomed Award-Winning Author and Nutritionist, Dr. Sylvia Meléndez Klinger, who is also an American Heart Association representative. She shared a lot of valuable information including the best ingredient swaps to make healthy changes.
Nutrition research is constantly evolving, and it can be challenging to keep up with the changes. In fact, 7 in 10 people believe changing nutrition information makes it hard to know what to believe. Even when families are trying to make healthier meals, they’re often confused about what to eat.
In the interview, Sylvia discusses tips to make cooking at your home easy, affordable, and delicious without giving up the foods you love. She also puts an end to the cooking oil debate, answering the question, “which cooking oil is recommended for a healthier heart?” She also shares delicious spins on classic science-backed and American Heart Association-approved dishes.
Sylvia discusses the importance of a balanced diet and how it can prevent health conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
