September N.F.L. Healthy Tip
Some of your favorite unhealthy foods are sometimes advertised in ways that make us forget how bad they really are for us. But here is a healthy tip from Parents Magazine, September
2009, to help you still be able to eat the foods you love.

• An Arby’s Market Fresh Ultimate BLT Sandwich has 780 calories and 45 grams of fat. Oh ya, and it also has 1,570 mg of salt. Yikes! Let’s not be fooled by the word “fresh”!

Healthy Tip: Go home and make a sandwich on whole-wheat bread.
