Not sure what an ounce of cheese looks like? How much is a serving of meat? Or what two teaspoons of sauce looks like? Students from Dr. Bonnie Wood’s Bio 300 Human Nutrition class have put together an exhibit to help you answer these and other nutrition questions. Keeping in mind that part of maintaining good health is knowing appropriate portion sizes, Chelsea Boudreau, Leah Finnemore, Kayla Fleming, and Paul Rucci have created an exhibit to demonstrate just that. For example:
- A 3 ounce portion of meat, fish or poultry is equivalent to the palm of your hand, or a deck of cards
- A 1″ cube is equivalent to an ounce of cheese
- One handful equals one ounce of nuts or raisins
- A book of matches is equivalent to two ounces of sauce.
In addition to portion size guidelines, Chelsea, Leah, Kayla and Paul have compiled some stress-busting tips for the end of the semester (Did someone say “FINALS?”). You can lessen your stress by exercising, getting enough sleep, listening to music, and eating healthy foods. Start with these suggestions:
- More green tea, less coffee
- More sparkling juice, less soda
- More healthy munchies (fruits, nuts, cheese and crackers), less sugar.
Stop by the Library to see these great suggestions and more information about good nutrition choices.
