Flaxseed is a great addition to anyone\u2019s diet because of its heart-healthy benefits.<\/p>\n<p>You can add flax meal, which you can find at most grocery stores, to almost any food without altering its taste or texture. I add it to smoothies and mix it into yogurt, oatmeal, and pancake\/waffle mix. I have even mixed it up with mayo or mustard to put on my kids\u2019 sandwiches, and they have no idea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plain Greek Yogurt<\/strong><br \/>\nElizabeth Messina, RD, MBA<br \/>\nLead Clinical Dietitian<\/p>\n<p>I use plain, unflavored, nonfat Greek yogurt every day. It\u2019s high in protein and calcium and low in fat and sodium. I mix it with fruit for a quick breakfast or snack (or dessert!), and I also mix Greek yogurt with mustard and spices as a delicious and healthy topping for grilled salmon. It\u2019s a very versatile food and a mainstay of my diet.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11828\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11828\" class=\"wp-image-11828\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/files\/2022\/03\/Devlin-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/files\/2022\/03\/Devlin-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/files\/2022\/03\/Devlin-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/files\/2022\/03\/Devlin-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/files\/2022\/03\/Devlin-901x1200.jpg 901w, https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/files\/2022\/03\/Devlin.jpg 1074w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11828\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Caitlyn Devlin, MS, RDN<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Avocados<\/strong><br \/>\nCaitlyn Devlin, MS, RDN<br \/>\nLead Clinical Dietitian<\/p>\n<p>I love avocados for their unique texture that complements many dishes. Avocados are an excellent source of potassium, healthy fat, and fiber. They help lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure \u2013 making them a heart-healthy food. They also support gut health by improving digestion while keeping you more satisfied after meals. I love adding avocados to smoothies, salads, and quesadillas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blueberries<\/strong><br \/>\nMaryann Codd, MS, RD, CDE<br \/>\nPediatric Dietitian<\/p>\n<p>I work with children, and many of my patients experience reflux, abdominal pain, or constipation. I frequently recommend blueberries to both adults and children \u2013 it is my favorite food! Blueberries are sweet, low in calories, nutritious, and packed with vitamins and minerals, including fiber and vitamin C. They are rich in antioxidants, which protect your body from free radicals that may contribute to the aging process and diseases such as cancer. Blueberries are also very versatile and can be used in smoothies or muffins or as a topping for yogurt and hot or cold cereal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eggplant<\/strong><br \/>\nAnne Starr, MS, RD<br \/>\nProgram Nutritionist<\/p>\n<p>Eggplant is one food I always recommend to my patients. (Fun fact &#8211; while it is often considered a vegetable, eggplant is technically a fruit.) While eggplants with a deep purple skin are most common, they can be white,\u00a0red, green, pink or orange and even have striped skin. They are also affordable and available year-round.<\/p>\n<p>Eggplants are rich in antioxidants and support digestion. They are also high in natural plant chemicals called polyphenols, which may help cells do a better job of processing\u00a0sugar\u00a0if you have\u00a0diabetes. From smoky Middle Eastern baba ganoush and Italian eggplant parmigiana to spicy Chinese stir-fries and stuffed Turkish dishes, eggplant recipes show up in cuisines from all over the globe. One of my favorite dishes is eggplant caponata. I love this dish because it is hearty and easy to prepare. You can get the recipe by clicking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipe\/247268\/eggplant-caponata-sicilian-version\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Turkey Sticks<\/strong><br \/>\nSandra Vasquez,\u00a0MS, RD, CSOWM<br \/>\nBariatric Dietician<\/p>\n<p>My favorite snack would have to be turkey sticks. They are a great source of protein, low in calories, and delicious. They are a perfect on-the-go snack or a wonderful addition to your next charcuterie board. I like cutting them into 1-inch pieces and adding them to my lunch box with some crackers, low-fat cheese, and fruit for a quick meal or snack.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11831\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11831\" class=\"wp-image-11831\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/files\/2022\/03\/Deanne-Walther-226x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/files\/2022\/03\/Deanne-Walther-226x300.jpeg 226w, https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/files\/2022\/03\/Deanne-Walther.jpeg 388w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11831\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Deanne P.

Packed with oats, peanut butter, coconut, flaxseed, and a few other tasty ingredients, these are great as a quick breakfast or when I need a midday, energy-boosting snack.

As with fruits and vegetables, you should eat a variety of nuts. All nuts are high in fiber and healthy fats, but different nuts have different micronutrients. You can grab a handful (about \u00bc cup) as a snack or add them to yogurt, oatmeal, or salads. Nut butters can be added to smoothies or sandwiches, and vegans can substitute cashew \u201ccream\u201d for dairy products in many dishes. Need a quick fix for your sweet tooth? Cut open some dates and add a dollop of almond or mixed nut butter. Keep them in the fridge for a grab-and-go snack.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to our registered dietitians for sharing their nutritional expertise to help patients make personalized and positive lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions about changing your current diet, speak to your primary care provider.

Comer un almuerzo equilibrado y saludable puede ayudarte a mantener tu energ\u00eda durante todo el d\u00eda, evitando un baj\u00f3n por la tarde.<\/p>\n<p>El equipo de dietistas registrados de Cooper University Health Care trabaja con pacientes adultos y pedi\u00e1tricos para ayudarlos a controlar afecciones cr\u00f3nicas, mejorar su salud y alcanzar sus objetivos de bienestar.<\/p>\n<p>Les pedimos a algunos de estos expertos en alimentaci\u00f3n y nutrici\u00f3n que compartieran sus superalimentos y recetas sin los cuales no pueden vivir. Esperamos que esta lista lo inspire a agregar algunos alimentos nuevos y saludables para mejorar sus almuerzos y ayudarlo a mantener energ\u00eda sostenida durante su ajetreado d\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Semilla de lino<\/strong><br \/>\nJosie Raum, MS, RD, CSOWM<br \/>\nDietista bari\u00e1trica<\/p>\n<p>La linaza es lo m\u00e1s parecido a un \u201csuperalimento\u201d. Es una gran fuente de antioxidantes, fibra, prote\u00ednas y grasas saludables, como los omega-3. La linaza es una gran adici\u00f3n a la dieta de cualquier persona debido a sus beneficios para la salud del coraz\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Puedes agregar harina de lino, que puedes encontrar en la mayor\u00eda de los supermercados, a casi cualquier alimento sin alterar su sabor o textura. Lo agrego a batidos y lo mezclo con yogur, avena y mezcla para panqueques y gofres. Incluso lo he mezclado con mayonesa o mostaza para ponerlo en los s\u00e1ndwiches de mis hijos y ellos no tienen idea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yogur griego natural<\/strong><br \/>\nElizabeth Messina, RD, MBA<br \/>\nDietista cl\u00ednico principal<\/p>\n<p>Utilizo yogur griego natural, sin sabor y sin grasa todos los d\u00edas. Tiene un alto contenido de prote\u00ednas y calcio y un bajo contenido de grasas y sodio. Lo mezclo con fruta para un desayuno o merienda r\u00e1pido (\u00a1o postre!), y tambi\u00e9n mezclo yogur griego con mostaza y especias como aderezo delicioso y saludable para el salm\u00f3n a la parrilla. Es un alimento muy vers\u00e1til y un pilar de mi dieta.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aguacates<\/strong><br \/>\nCaitlyn Devlin, MS, RDN<br \/>\nDietista cl\u00ednico principal<\/p>\n<p>Me encantan los aguacates por su textura \u00fanica que complementa muchos platos. Los aguacates son una excelente fuente de potasio, grasas saludables y fibra. Ayudan a reducir los niveles de colesterol y la presi\u00f3n arterial, lo que los convierte en un alimento saludable para el coraz\u00f3n. Tambi\u00e9n apoyan la salud intestinal al mejorar la digesti\u00f3n y lo mantienen m\u00e1s satisfecho despu\u00e9s de las comidas. Me encanta agregar aguacates a batidos, ensaladas y quesadillas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ar\u00e1ndanos<\/strong><br \/>\nMaryann Codd, MS, RD, CDE<br \/>\nDietista pedi\u00e1trico<\/p>\n<p>Trabajo con ni\u00f1os y muchos de mis pacientes experimentan reflujo, dolor abdominal o estre\u00f1imiento. Con frecuencia recomiendo los ar\u00e1ndanos tanto a adultos como a ni\u00f1os: \u00a1es mi comida favorita! Los ar\u00e1ndanos son dulces, bajos en calor\u00edas, nutritivos y repletos de vitaminas y minerales, incluidas fibra y vitamina C. Son ricos en antioxidantes, que protegen el cuerpo de los radicales libres que pueden contribuir al proceso de envejecimiento y a enfermedades como el c\u00e1ncer. Los ar\u00e1ndanos tambi\u00e9n son muy vers\u00e1tiles y se pueden utilizar en batidos o muffins o como aderezo para yogur y cereales fr\u00edos o calientes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Berenjena<\/strong><br \/>\nAnne Starr, MS, RD<br \/>\nNutricionista del programa<\/p>\n<p>La berenjena es un alimento que siempre recomiendo a mis pacientes. (Dato curioso: si bien a menudo se considera una verdura, la berenjena es t\u00e9cnicamente una fruta). Si bien las berenjenas con piel de color morado oscuro son las m\u00e1s comunes, pueden ser blancas, rojas, verdes, rosadas o naranjas e incluso tener la piel rayada. Tambi\u00e9n son asequibles y est\u00e1n disponibles durante todo el a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n<p>Las berenjenas son ricas en antioxidantes y favorecen la digesti\u00f3n. Tambi\u00e9n tienen un alto contenido de sustancias qu\u00edmicas vegetales naturales llamadas polifenoles, que pueden ayudar a las c\u00e9lulas a procesar mejor el az\u00facar si se tiene diabetes. Desde el ahumado baba ganoush del Medio Oriente y la berenjena italiana a la parmesana hasta los picantes salteados chinos y los platos turcos rellenos, las recetas de berenjena aparecen en las cocinas de todo el mundo. Uno de mis platos favoritos es la caponata de berenjena. Me encanta este plato porque es abundante y f\u00e1cil de preparar. Puedes conseguir la receta haciendo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipe\/247268\/eggplant-caponata-sicilian-version\/\">clic aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>palitos de pavo<\/strong><br \/>\nSandra V\u00e1squez, MS, RD, CSOWM<br \/>\nDietista bari\u00e1trica<\/p>\n<p>Mi bocadillo favorito tendr\u00edan que ser los palitos de pavo. Son una gran fuente de prote\u00ednas, bajas en calor\u00edas y deliciosas. Son un refrigerio perfecto para llevar o una maravillosa adici\u00f3n a su pr\u00f3xima tabla de embutidos. Me gusta cortarlos en trozos de 1 pulgada y agregarlos a mi lonchera con algunas galletas saladas, queso bajo en grasa y fruta para una comida r\u00e1pida o un refrigerio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bocaditos energ\u00e9ticos f\u00e1ciles sin hornear<\/strong><br \/>\nDeanne P. Walther, RD<br \/>\nDietista cl\u00ednico para pacientes hospitalizados<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Estos bocados energ\u00e9ticos sin hornear son f\u00e1ciles de preparar y deliciosos! Llenos de avena, mantequilla de man\u00ed, coco, linaza y algunos otros ingredientes sabrosos, son excelentes como desayuno r\u00e1pido o cuando necesito un refrigerio al mediod\u00eda que aumente la energ\u00eda. Me gusta hacer un lote y meterlos en el congelador. Duran m\u00e1s y a\u00fan son f\u00e1ciles de comer cuando est\u00e1n congelados. Puedes obtener la receta haciendo clic aqu\u00ed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nueces<\/strong><br \/>\nLinda Goldsmith, MA, RD, CSO, TTS<br \/>\nDietista de Oncolog\u00eda Ambulatoria<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Las nueces son mi superalimento preferido! Al igual que con las frutas y verduras, conviene comer una variedad de frutos secos. Todos los frutos secos son ricos en fibra y grasas saludables, pero cada fruto seco tiene diferentes micronutrientes. Puedes tomar un pu\u00f1ado (aproximadamente \u00bc de taza) como refrigerio o agregarlos al yogur, la avena o las ensaladas. Se pueden agregar mantequillas de nueces a batidos o s\u00e1ndwiches, y los veganos pueden sustituir los productos l\u00e1cteos por \u201ccrema\u201d de anacardos en muchos platos. \u00bfNecesita una soluci\u00f3n r\u00e1pida para su gusto por lo dulce? Corte algunos d\u00e1tiles y agregue una cucharada de mantequilla de almendras o nueces mixtas. Gu\u00e1rdelos en el refrigerador para un refrigerio para llevar.<\/p>\n<p>Gracias a nuestros dietistas registrados por compartir su experiencia nutricional para ayudar a los pacientes a realizar cambios de estilo de vida positivos y personalizados.<\/p>\n<p>Si tiene preguntas sobre c\u00f3mo cambiar su dieta actual, hable con su proveedor de atenci\u00f3n primaria.
