Change your dressing

Did you know that olive oil contains healthy mono-unsaturated fat and is a key ingredient in the diet of Mediterranean people who, despite all the olive oil they eat, have a very low incidence of heart disease?

Studies have shown that women get most of their dietary fat from dairy products, margarine, mayonnaise, and salad dressing.

If you substitute bottled salad dressings with olive oil or a low fat alternative like balsamic vinegar you will be making one small change in lifestyle that can result in big changes to your life.

Combine this with other healthy actions such as exercise and eating smaller more frequent meals and you have a powerful combination for a healthier you.
