nutrition information
Cheese
Rich in calcium, which helps build strong bones. 1 1/2 oz of natural cheese provides about the same amount of calcium as a cup of milk. Choose low-fat or fat-free varieties to trim calories and fat. Add cheese to sandwiches, melt on vegetables, or nibble with crackers.
Eggs
A good source of protein and a top food source of choline, which is essential for normal cell functions, memory and muscle control. Try an omelet for dinner! Use only the egg whites to cut out cholesterol if it's a concern.
Milk
Contains nine essential nutrients, including calcium and vitamin D. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, important for healthy bones and teeth. Choose low-fat or fat-free milk to trim calories and fat. Don't just drink it-use milk instead of water to make oatmeal or condensed tomato soup.
Yogurt
Look for "live and active cultures" on the label. Research shows the friendly bacteria in these cultures-called "probiotics"-may promote good digestive health. Dollop yogurt on sliced fruit and sprinkle with crunchy low-fat granola.
