Thank you for attending this class. We hope you found the session informative and useful for making healthier food choices. Below are the key takeaways and next steps to help you continue your journey towards better nutrition.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps:

Reading and Interpreting Labels: Remember to always check the serving size first. The information on the label is based on this amount, so if you consume more or less, adjust the numbers accordingly.
Key Nutrients to Monitor: Focus on the amounts of fats, cholesterol, sodium, and sugars. High levels of these can have negative impacts on your health. Aim to keep these within recommended daily values.
Using % Daily Values: % Daily Values (% DV) provide a quick way to gauge if a food is high or low in a particular nutrient. Aim for lower % DV of fats, cholesterol, and sodium, and higher % DV of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Ingredient Lists: Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight. Look out for added sugars and unhealthy fats like hydrogenated oils. Choose products with whole, recognizable ingredients.
Healthy Shopping Tips: Compare products by their nutritional labels. Opt for items with higher fiber and protein, and lower sugar and sodium. Whole and minimally processed foods are generally better choices.
