Premier Health Family Practice & Walk-In

At Premier Health we advise ensuring you are meeting your daily protein intake! Protein is an important part of a healthy diet and are made up of chemical 'building blocks' called amino acids. Your body uses amino acids to build and repair muscles and bones and to make hormones and enzymes. They can also be used as an energy source. High protein foods include...
● Greek yogurt
● Cottage cheese
● Chicken/Turkey
● Salmon/Fish
● Eggs
● Peanut Butter
● Lentils
● Nuts
● Lean Beef

Sugar is found in many foods, both naturally or added. Sugar provides energy (calories) but has no nutritional value on its own. Sugars are often added to processed foods to improve their flavor, color, texture and shelf-life. Consuming too much sugar is associated with heart disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, high blood cholesterol, cancer and cavities.

Here are a few tips to Reduce your Sugar Intake:

1. Don’t "drink your calories" & avoid sugary drinks
2. Try whole foods with minimal processing
3. Snack sensibly and consciously
4. Eat lower-sugar cereals
5. Cook at home more often
6. Use substitutes as much as possible
7. Read the Nutrition Facts table and the ingredient list on packaged foods
