The internet is a huge resource when dealing with any subject, but especially
so when it comes to nutrition. Below are a few sites that I have
found helpful and informative:
Nutritional Database
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/
What could be more helpful in determining a nutritious menu than figuring
out the nutritional values of the foods on your menu? The USDA has
put thousands of foods into a database that you can download straight
to your computer! Or if you are not that enterprising, you can link
to an online search utility and search foods online. You can do
it all at this link.
Nutrition Analyzer
http://www.nat.uiuc.edu/mainnat.html
Another tool that can help you with your daily menus is a handy little
online application that lets you collect as many foods as you want and
then it provides you with the analysis.
Benefits of Drinking Water
http://my.webmd.com/content/article/1685.53179
This WebMD article is rather insightful when you realize how important
water is to the human body.
Losing Weight
http://my.webmd.com/content/article/2731.1732
This WebMD article lays out the basics of the diet game. Read at
your own peril...(but it all makes good dietary sense)
General Nutrition Articles
http://chef2chef.com/cgi-bin/ap/ap_odp.pl?&passurl=/Health/Nutrition/Resources/
Chef2Chef is a internet community portal that offers a lot of links to
nutritional resources in addition to other culinary topics. The types
of information covered are varied.
Back to the beginning.. .
