Washington, D.C. - infoZine - February is American Heart Month, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has a tool to help you achieve a heart-healthy lifestyle. Its called the Nutrition Facts Label, and it can be found on all packaged foods and beverages.

Now in its twentieth year, the Nutrition Facts Label helps you track the various nutrients you are getting from the foods you eat. In fact, it serves as your overall guide for comparing foods and making choices that can affect your long-term health!

Using Percent Daily Value (%DV) to Reduce Your Risk of Heart Disease

High blood pressure affects approximately one in three U.S. adults, or 75 million people. An additional 78 million adults suffer from slightly elevated blood pressure, which can turn into high blood pressure. High blood pressure forces the heart to work harder, and can lead to heart disease the leading cause of death among men and women in the U.S.

Eating too much sodium, total fat (especially saturated and trans fat), and cholesterol can increase your risk of developing high blood pressure and heart disease. You can use the Percent Daily Value (%DV) listed on the Nutrition Facts Label as a guide to determine if a serving of food is high or low in these nutrients. As a general rule, remember that 5%DV or less of a nutrient is low, and 20%DV or more is high!

To help reduce your overall risk of high blood pressure and heart disease, be sure not to go above 100% of the Daily Value for sodium, total fat, and cholesterol each day. The Daily Value for sodium is less than 2400 milligrams (mg) per day or 1500 mg per day for people with high blood pressure, diabetes or kidney disease; African-Americans; and people ages 51 and older. The Daily Value for total fat is less than 65 grams (g) per day, and the Daily Value for cholesterol is less than 300 mg per day. Remember, Daily Value recommendations for total fat and cholesterol are based on a 2000-calorie daily diet; your calorie needs may be different.

By using %DV on the Nutrition Facts Label to compare foods and the nutrients they contain, you can make heart-healthy choices at every meal.

Nutrition Facts Label Helping Make Heart-healthy Choices

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Kris Gethin, a celebrated expert in the field of rapid body transformation, is making a foray into the world of performance nutrition. Nutrition by Design's Fit Meals are complete and natural meals in easily transportable container cups, not merely meal replacements or snacks. They include only the essential ingredients required for fat loss, a healthy metabolism and lean muscle gain. Sponsored athletes Flex Lewis and Dana Linn Bailey will help boost recognition of this new product line. Nutrition by Design products are now available at leading sellers such as Bodybuilding.comand NutritionbyDesign.com and Bodybuilding.co.uk. More information on Nutrition by Design's philosophy and ingredients is available here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/nutrition-by-design/fit-meals.html.

Fit Meals incorporate all of the essential nutrients necessary for optimal physical performance, transformation and muscle building. Each meal contains a sizable quantity of lean protein sources, slow release carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. The Beef Chili Beans and Rice Fit Meal, for instance, contains 34 grams of protein and only 330 calories. Fit Meals are low in fat, sugar and sodium, with NO preservatives so users will get precisely what they need from each meal. The creators of Fit Meals paid close attention to make each meal taste excellent, a bonus that not all nutritional products can match. Currently, Fit Meals come in two flavors: Chicken Breast Pasta with Green Beans and Beef Chili Beans and Rice.

"Nutrition by Design is the culmination of all my knowledge and experience with high-end nutrition for serious athletes," said Gethin. "I know that everyone wants convenience; if a product has to be refrigerated, cumbersome to take to the gym or while traveling, people are less likely to use it. That's why I made sure that my Fit Meals were the most convenient product of their kind on the market. Whether you're at work, at the gym, traveling, camping, at school or after a big game, these meals go anywhere. Just heat up one of these meals with hot water, and in minutes you have a tasty, protein-packed, low-calorie, high-nutrient, complete meal."

Gethin has a long association with the world of bodybuilding and personal fitness. His success took a huge leap forward with the release of his bestselling book "Body by Design" in 2011. His video series the 12 Week Hardcore Video Trainer has gained over 50 Million views making it the most popular transformation series in the world today. He has helped millions of clients re-orient their minds and transform their physiques. Gethin believes mental inspiration, motivation and food preparation are essential components of this process.

Flex Lewis and Dana Linn Bailey are both pleased to be associated with Nutrition by Design. Lewis is the 212 Mr. Olympia and has won many events across the globe. Bailey is likewise an IFBB Professional bodybuilder who has over 17,400,000 views in her Youtube channel and over 100,000 followers on Facebook.
