Hiya Usman, I imagine that everyone who teaches people about healthful eating has at least one problem in common. Their families. In her latest post for the Nutrition Education Store blog, Cheryle Jones Syracuse, MS, Professor Emeritus at The Ohio State University explores the role that a teacher plays in the life of her family. Food Police is packed with insight, thoughtfulness, and truth. Cheryle's unique perspective should not be missed. Plus, her story inspired me to add a free handout! With this free quiz about heart health, which also features strategies for improving an eating plan, you have one more tool to help you transition from "police" to "coach." Here's to a healthful life! Judy Doherty, PC II Chef, Publisher and Founder Food and Health Communications, Inc Food Police My husband had a heart attack last September. He had that heart attack after we were already eating a reasonably healthful diet. (We mostly eat according to the Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension diet). We were watching the levels of saturated fats, calories, sodium, and fiber in all the foods we were eating. We were both lighter, and his last blood tests were significantly better. The week after his heart attack, I started teaching a (previously-scheduled) weight control and healthful eating class. Now our sessions are almost over. As the class began to draw to a close, one of the ladies said to me “I wish I could take you home so you could guide and coach me.” My husband has me at home. What does he call me? I'll give you a hint. It's not "coach." He calls me "The Food Police." | |
