It is a really great place to go if you are ever in Oahu — they teach you a lot about the Polynesian culture and have plenty of great activities for both children and adults. We went there after lunch, and for some reason I didn’t bring any of my Crohn’s-friendly food with me. Big mistake! Always be prepared when you go out by bringing foods that you know that you can eat. Around 5:30, I started to get really hungry and regretting not bringing anything to eat. None of the stands had anything healthy or plain that I could eat, so we started to look for a restaurant that may have something. After looking around for a while, we ended up at this snack shop. By this time, my family was getting really hungry and...

Just because you see a couple broccoli bits in that dish does not mean it’s healthy. In fact, Chinese takeout is among the worst offenders of the healthy eating guidelines; saturated fat and salt are through the roof with some dishes. Case in point: an order of General Tso’s Chicken can set you back 1,600 calories, 3150 mg sodium (exceeds 2100 mg per day limit) and 59 grams of fat (11 grams saturated – heart clogging kind – about a day’s worth). But don’t fret just yet, maybe you can have your fortune cookie and eat it too. Watch this video to learn how you can have healthy Chinese takeout.

Between work, school, meetings, appointments, the last thing some of us want to do when we roll into the driveway is cook, leaving us to either go out for food, or leave home cooking as a burdensome chore. Sound like you? It’s time to look at home cooking in a new way! Eating at home has exponential benefits. It’s less expensive, healthier, and more educational than dining out. When we live in a world of ‘ultimates’ and ‘doubles’ that plague our dining scene, it has become the norm to see a meal with a 3,000 mg sodium count. That’s 1000 mg over the daily limit in a single meal! Restaurant meals also tend to come with a side of fries, or chips, rather than a selection of vegetables, which increases calorie...

Many restaurants do not offer a wide variety of palatable foods for diners wishing to eat in moderation. With this thought in mind, I recently did some research to determine if I could eat healthily in most states or cities around the nation. I hit upon a few websites that offer suggestions for local eating establishments and a few that offer tips for how to eat out. The site that hosts various restaurants varied from city to city. The Denver area lists three restaurants offering heart healthy menus, while the Branson, Missouri area offers just one, Blimpie Subs and Salads. I was somewhat disappointed with the restaur...
