       Milk and Yogurt
       It’s no coincidence the June is also National Dairy Month!  Dairy products are nutrient powerhouses that contain nine essential nutrients that
       may help to manage weight, reduce risk for high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and certain cancers.

       Fruits and Vegetables
       How could we pick just one!?  Including fruits and vegetables is an important part of a healthy diet and is associated with reduced risk of

       Beef
       It’s what’s for dinner! Lean beef is a delicious source of protein that supports weight loss, fits in a heart healthy diet, and is packed with
       nutrients.  A 3-ounce serving contains 10 percent of more of your daily needs for protein, zinc, vitamins B12 and B6, iron and selenium.
