Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 For those of you who still eat meat......turkey is a good choice Turkey Did you know that a 4-ounce serving of turkey breast contains only 1 gram of fat and is the leanest type of meat you can include in your diet? It is easy to reduce the fat content of turkey because most of it resides in the skin, which can be easily removed. By including a serving of turkey as part of your Healthier Way of Eating, you will not only be reducing your fat intake, but fulfilling 65% of your daily value for protein! Protein is the building block not only for structural tissues but for immune defense cells, and it is involved in just about every other physiological function in your body. Turkey also provides 47% of the daily value for selenium, a powerful antioxidant co-factor that helps protect against the damage to cell structure and DNA caused by free radicals, as well as many of the B vitamins, which are essential for energy production. So, sharing your Thanksgiving meal with family and friends also means sharing a wealth of health-promoting benefits with those you love! Suzi What is a weed?
