Meal Planning
What’s for dinner? Planning weekly meals save you time and money. Try to make healthy meals for the whole week to reduce stress.
Here are some things to keep in mind when weekly meal planning:
- Create healthy meals that include all food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy.
- You should eat about eight servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
- Meals should be low in sodium (salt) to help control your blood pressure.
- Your meals should be low in sugar.
- Don't drink alcohol.
- Find foods that can help lower your cholesterol like avocados, nuts, and fatty fish.
