Basic Components of Healthy Eating Presented by CIGNA Employee Assistance Program Copyright 2008 CIGNA HealthCare – Confidential & Privileged – Not for Distribution

Seminar Goals Learn the meaning of “conscious eating” Learn the components of a balanced, nutritious diet Discover what “whole grain” means and why it is important in our diets Know the difference between “good fats” and “bad fats” Get some practical tips for healthy eating

Understand Your Eating Habits Practice conscious eating – listen to your body’s internal hunger and fullness cues and be aware of how your body feels. Guidelines for appetite control: Eat when you are hungry, stop when you are comfortably full Eat small frequent meals throughout the day Differentiate between emotional and physical hunger

The Balancing Act Calories Consumed vs. Calories Used

45 – 65% of your daily intake 10 – 35% of your daily intake The Balancing Act (continued) The Balancing Act Calories in – what should I be consuming? Carbohydrates (includes grains, fruits, vegetables) 45 – 65% of your daily intake Proteins (includes animal products – meat, fish, poultry, dairy – plus beans, nuts, and seeds) 10 – 35% of your daily intake Fats (found in animal products, nuts, and some plants) 20 – 35% of your daily intake (with <10% of that coming from saturated fat and trans fat)

My Pyramid – Steps to a Healthier You Key Messages: Variety – different color bands represent different food groups Proportionality – differing widths of the color bands suggest how much food should be eaten from each group Moderation – bands get narrower from bottom to top, suggesting higher consumption of nutrient- dense foods Physical Activity – steps and person climbing stairs along lefthand side emphasize need for activity Grains Vegetables Fruits Fats and Oils Protein Dairy Source: USDA: www.MyPyramid.gov

My Pyramid – Key Food Group Messages Customize your own pyramid at www.MyPyramid.gov Focus on fruits. Vary your veggies. Get calcium-rich foods. Make half your grains whole. Go lean with protein. Eat some good fats, but limit saturated fat and trans fats. Limit salt and sugars. Source: USDA MyPyramid.gov

What is a whole grain? In order for a grain to be considered “whole,” all three parts of the kernel must be intact: Bran – outer shell; protects seed, contains fiber and B vitamins, is often removed in processing Endosperm – provides energy in the form of carbohydrate and protein Germ – provides nourishment for the seed; contains antioxidants, vitamins E and B Tip: When shopping for grains, look for the word “whole” listed in the ingredients section.

What are the Different Types of Dietary Fat? Saturated Fats (bad fat) Trans Fatty Acids or Trans Fats (bad fat) Monounsaturated Fats (good fat) Polyunsaturated Fats (good fat) Omega 3 Fatty Acids Omega 6 Fatty Acids Source: American Heart Association

2005 Dietary Guidelines Consume a variety of nutrient-dense foods and beverages within and among the basic food groups while choosing foods that limit the intake of saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, added sugars, salt, and alcohol. To maintain body weight in a healthy range, balance calories consumed in foods and beverages with calories burned. To prevent gradual weight gain over time, make small decreases in food and beverage calories and increase physical activity. Source: Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005

2005 Dietary Guidelines (continued) Choose a variety of fruits and vegetables each day. In particular, select from all five vegetable subgroups (dark green, orange, legumes, starchy vegetables, and other vegetables) several times a week. Consume 3 or more ounce-equivalents of whole-grain products per day, with the rest of the recommended grains coming from either enriched or whole-grain products. In general, at least half your grain intake should come from whole grains. Consume 3 cups per day of fat-free or low fat milk or the equivalent in milk products. Source: Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005

2005 Dietary Guidelines (continued) Keep total fat intake between 20 and 35 percent of calories, with most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, such as fish, nuts, and vegetable oils. Consume less than 2,300mg of sodium (approximately 1 teaspoon of table salt) per day. Those who choose to drink alcoholic beverages should do so in moderation – defined as the consumption of up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men.

Choose salad, fruits, or vegetables instead of french fries. Healthy Eating Tips Choose salad, fruits, or vegetables instead of french fries. Choose reduced-calorie salad dressing. Choose water, low fat or fat-free milk instead of soda. When eating out, share a meal or take some home if the portions are large – or just leave some on your plate. Talk with your physician about incorporating physical activity into your daily routine. Plan ahead with meals and snacks to avoid making hunger-impaired decisions. Practice conscious eating. Ask yourself: Am I comfortably full? Am I still hungry? Source: American Dietetic Association
