Let's
start
the
show
with
Ingrid
Beardsley
nutrition
program
manager
at
the
department
of
aging
anger
will
share
a
few
suggestions
to
help
our
viewers
make
healthy
food
choices
during
the
holiday
season.
Welcome
to
the
show
Ingrid
thinks.
A
B
So
this
should
began
when
the
Commission
on
Aging,
the
Baldwin
County
Department
of
Aging
staff
and
some
of
the
stakeholders
came
together
and
they
said,
let's
discuss
what
people
in
community
really
need
and
they
realized.
There
was
a
high
need
for
healthy
eating
information,
food
security
and
hunger
prevention,
so
it
did
seem
like
a
logical
choice
in
addition
to
that,
it's
been
an
amazing
year
to
see
how
it's
gone
in
to
play
through
our
wellness
nutrition
lectures
within
the
bcda
Department
with
all
the
staff.
B
It's
been
great
to
see
all
the
educational
opportunities
they've
had
we've
had
speakers
come
on,
juicing
I've
taught
mindful
eating
all
types
of
things
and
then
also
within
the
senior
centers.
We've
had
great
turnout
with
the
nutrition
games.
They
love
him
and
our
staff
have
created
a
lot
of
those
and
they've
got
good
turnout
for
that,
and
also
they've
they've
wanted
to
hear
more
about
diabetes,
weight
loss.
B
A
B
I
think
the
first
thing
we
have
to
really
focus
on
is
when
do
I
have
any
free
time
and
can
I
plan
in
some
time
to
grocery
shop
and
cook
and
when
I
do
find
that
time,
then
to
really
make
sure
that
they
cook
up
extra
food.
So
they
can
freeze
it
and
then
they
can
bring
it
to
either
another
event
and
have
a
quick
and
easy
meal
or
if
they
are
really
pressed
for
time,
one
night
to
zap
in
the
microwave
or
they
can
bring
it.
B
If
they
are
working
or
volunteering,
they
could
bring
it
with
them
wherever
they
go,
if
there's
a
microwave
available
and
they
can
make
things
like
casseroles
that
have
vegetables
in
them.
So
the
key
is
to
make
more
in
advance.
Freeze
it
and
use
it
when
you
do
have
less
time
on
hand,
another
good
tip
would
be
to
set
aside
some
time
in
the
morning
to
pack
snacks.
B
So
if
you
know
you're
going
to
be
running
around
and
you
want
to
have
a
nice
healthy
snack
around-
do
things
like
granola
bars,
nuts,
bananas
yogurt
things
like
that
that
could
prevent
them
from
running
too
fast
food.
Instead,
let's
see
what
else
they
good
to
pack
a
peanut
butter
and
jelly
sandwich
that
they
know
they'll
be
out
for
a
long
amount
of
time,
because
it
can
keep
at
room
temperature,
so
peanut
butter
has
healthy
fat
and
protein.
B
The
wheat
bread
is
your
car
that
you
need,
so
it's
actually
a
pretty
balanced
meal
and
that's
a
good
option,
but
I
think
overall,
it's
really
important
that
they
still
try
to
have
three
meals
a
day,
even
in
those
busy
seasons.
It's
really
easy
to
skip
meals,
but
that
gets
people
in
trouble
because
it
can
make
their
blood
Sugar's
go
out
of
alignment
and
it
can
also
cause
overeating.
If
you
just
skip
meals,
then
you
get
really
hungry
Ingrid.
B
I
think
during
the
holidays,
a
common
eating
mistake
is
believing
that
this
is
the
only
time
this
food
will
be
available.
So
they'll
kind
of
gather
up.
Okay
I've
got
to
get
all
these
two
meats,
because
I
know
they're
not
going
to
be
around
the
rest
of
the
year
or
if
they
know,
there's
a
certain
event
or
dinner
going
on
they'll
overeat,
because
I
think
this
is
the
only
time
I
can
have
it.
B
But
if
they
have
that
mindset
that
can
get
you
in
trouble,
so
I'd
say
instead
try
to
hold
on
to
and
save
it
for
later,
when
you
actually
are
hungry
or
just
either
leftovers
the
next
day,
but
but
don't
try
to
push
it
because
you'll
feel
really
sick.
Afterwards,
there's
there's
more
I'd
say
another
common
mistake
would
be
mm
grazing.
B
So
when
you
go
to
an
event
and
there's
all
this
food
available,
if
you're
not
socializing
too
much,
if
you
stand
too
close
to
the
table
where
the
foods
available,
you
can
just
end
up
grazing
and
grazing
and
grazing,
so
it's
good
to
walk
around
and
socialize
and
get
yourself
away
from
that
food
table.
Another
good
one
is
to
scope
out
all
the
options
available.
A
B
Mashed
potatoes,
for
example,
sweet
potatoes
is
a
pretty
good
replacement,
sometimes
because
it
has
vitamin
A,
which
is
good
for
your
eyesight
and
your
immune
system
to
keep
people
from
getting
sick
during
the
holidays.
It
also
has
a
lot
of
fiber,
which
is
good
for
bowel
regulation.
On,
let's
see
you
could
even
change
out
the
butter
and
replace
that
with
butter,
milk
or
milk
to
cut
out
some
of
the
calories
stuffing.
That's
another
good
one.
B
You
could
do
wheat,
bread
instead
of
white
bread,
and
you
can
add
some
quinoa
wild
rice,
carrots,
salary,
dried
fruit
and
nuts.
Instead
of
the
sausage
that
can
add
some
flavor
gravy,
you
could
use
the
brown
bits
instead
of
the
gravy
drippings.
That
could
help
a
little
bit
to
save
some
of
the
calories
and
add
more
flavor
and
use
a
low
sodium
broth
to
give
it
more
flavor
as
well,
and
then
thicken
it
with
pureed
carrots
that
actually
tastes
pretty
good.
Another
one
would
be
hmmm
vegetables,
so
we
get
pretty
bored
with
green
beans.
B
So
you
could
try
something
different
if
you
want
to
do
roasted.
Brussel
sprouts
or
roasted
mushrooms,
baked
butternut,
squash
and
acorn
squash
is
pretty
good
and
it's
loaded
with
vitamin
A
and
it
also
tastes
good
with
Parmesan
cheese.
On
top,
so
I
think
it's
really
good
to
experiment
with
vegetables
because
we
get
bored
if
we'd
only
eat
the
same
ones.
B
Over
and
over
and
over
again
Oh
with
baking,
you
could
switch
out
half
the
butter
and
oil
and
replace
it
with
mashed
bananas,
pureed,
prunes
applesauce,
and
you
can
even
take
out
half
the
white
flour
and
replace
it
with
wheat
flour,
and
then
you
get
more
fiber
and
nutrients
as
well.
So
those
are
some
good
tips.
Some.
B
Yes,
oh
snap
stands
for
the
Supplemental
Nutrition
Assistance
Program,
and
that's
really
great
for
people
who
are
eligible
because
they
now
have
a
certain
amount
of
money
that
they
can
use
when
they
grocery
stop
grocery
shop
per
month
to
get
threads
cereals,
fruit,
vegetables,
dairy,
meets
all
the
goods
and
they
even
get
a
little
room.
They
have
a
little
bit
to
spare
on
buying
sweets
and
things
like
that,
because
we
knew
that
sometimes
too
and
the
food
pantries.
