Obesity is one of the most talked about health problems today. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity rates have doubled among adults and children and tripled among adolescents since 1980. Regular exercise and good nutrition are at the heart of health and reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and obesity. But good nutrition can be a challenge in today’s fast-paced world. With a little creativity and professional equipment, preparing healthy and delicious food is faster and easier than it seems. Here are tips for using Vita-Mix Professional Series blenders to easily prepare tasty, nutritious meals and snacks: * Fresh fruit is an essential part of a healthy diet and is easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Make a fresh fruit smoothie for breakfast instead of a sweet sandwich, or try a smoothie for an evening snack instead of ice cream, cookies or chips. *A soup made with fresh ingredients can be a light but filling appetizer. With a commercial blender you can prepare a variety of recipes
in minutes – from a heart-healthy tomato soup to a delicious pumpkin soup – and add more vegetables to your diet. *The USDA Food Pyramid recommends 5 to 8 ounces of grains per day, with an emphasis on whole grains. The Vita-Mix Professional Series grinds whole grains into flour to create delicious breakfast cereals, pancakes and healthy homemade bread. * Since childhood obesity is a growing problem, parents can prepare baby food at home with fresh, tasty and healthy ingredients. If you make it yourself, you know exactly what’s in it. * Offer fresh and healthy snacks at a party. Salsa or pepper hummus on summer pumpkin rounds are delicious ways to celebrate any occasion.
