Another Helpful Link

This is a site I've visited in the past, but totally forgot to bookmark or add to this blog. In fact, the only reason I even recalled it is because it was featured in the LIVING WELL section of my newspaper today. The site is called Nutrition Data. It has a lot of cool stuff including a very detailed breakdown of foods and their respective nutritional makeup. It shows you where it falls in terms of what vitamins and nutrients you're getting in the food(s). They also have some very helpful topics. I'll list a few of them here...

• Learn what your body needs to be healthy
• Estimate your daily needs of vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and more...
• Analyze any food
• Secrets to weight loss
• Sensible diet advice
• Recipe help: Create recipes and let ND help you make them healthier
• Find foods that are highest in any vitamin or mineral or lowest in saturated fats or sugars
• Nutrition glossary: your reference guide to diet and nutrition
• Calculate glycemic load, inflammation factor, and omega-3:omega-6 ratio for any food or recipe
• Calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) and what it means for your health

Check the site out. I am positive there is something there for you to look at!

More Links

Check out the links on the right. I added three more today. Fitness Wikia, Health Wikia and Food Wikia are all very good sites (in theory) designed on the wiki platform. It's great stuff. Community sites are what web 2.0 is all about, right?

Links

Gonna add a few links today for you to check out when you have free time. If you're looking for recipes, ideas or help, check out the following sites.

• American Dietetic Association
• FoodFit
• Meals Matter
• Slashfood
• That's Fit

I will park these on the right hand side of the side too for easy access. If you have a personal favorite you'd like us to add, drop a line!

Site Changes

You may or may not notice a few changes to the site today. The most obvious is the color scheme. What you may not pick up on though is the change to the posts. Not only are posts labeled by author now, they also have secondary and tertiary tags to them so you can sort by topic and not only by the people creating the articles. You'll also notice a couple of site feeds to the right side. For now, there are live feeds from Slashfood and That's Fit. I will add more as I find them. If you have a suggestion, please let me know.

As always, if you are interested in helping out on this site, please email me at swebster77@sbcglobal.net and I will be happy to get back.
