Eat Better, Eat Together this October!
Eating meals with family or loved ones can lead to more balanced food choices and better connection. While finding a time to eat as a family can be difficult with busy schedules, it is important to prioritize gathering together at mealtime.

Use these tips this month with your loved ones:

Make a plan. Post a weekly menu in your kitchen to reduce stress. If planning every day feels like too much, start with a few meals, like breakfast on Monday and Wednesday and dinner on Friday.

Ready your ingredients. Write a grocery list, chop veggies and measure dry ingredients ahead of time, and consider freezing a meal like a casserole or burritos.

Prioritize mealtime. Put meals on your schedule like an appointment. Give everyone a job, like setting the table or pouring drinks. Kids are more likely to eat what they helped make, and washing produce is a great start.

More than dinner. If dinner is hard to fit in, try breakfast, brunch, or snack time. Eating together at any meal is a benefit.

Focus on fun and connection. Make mealtime screen-free. Try sharing a high point and a hard point from your day to build connection and reduce stress.

October is National Apple Month! 🍎🍏

Apples are rich in nutrients such as fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants that promote healthy digestion, brain function, and weight management. They may also help prevent chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. Eating apples with the skin offers the most health benefits, and they are generally safe when consumed in moderation without the seeds.

Celebrate the humble and versatile apple with this delicious Apple Bread Pudding: https://recipes.heart.org/en/recipes/apple-bread-pudding

Fiber has been getting more attention lately—and for good reason. It helps keep us full, lower cholesterol and blood sugar, and reduce the risk of conditions such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Aim to eat 30 grams of fiber each day from a variety of plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Looking for ways to add more fiber to your diet? These tips are a great place to start and can help you build a lifelong fiber habit.
