The <b>Nutrition Facts Label<\/b> is found on packaged foods and beverages. It lets you see <i>exactly<\/i> what you&#8217;re eating and how a particular food (and the nutrients it contains) fits into your daily diet. \u00a0Use it to compare foods and make choices that can affect your long-term health! \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Get Less of Certain Nutrients <\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Nutrition Facts Label helps you track <b>specific nutrients<\/b> that can have an impact on heart health. The <b>Percent Daily Value (%DV)<\/b> information shown on the Nutrition Facts Label gives a framework for deciding if a food is <i>high<\/i> or <i>low <\/i>in specific nutrients \u2013 including the ones you are trying to limit.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>To help reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, compare nutrients and choose foods with a lower %DV of <b>sodium, saturated fat, and cholesterol<\/b>, and try to stay below 100% DV for these nutrients every day.\u00a0 Use this general guideline when comparing nutrients in food:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>5% DV or less per serving of a particular nutrient is low <\/li>\n<li>20% DV or more per serving of a particular nutrient is high <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And remember, the %DV listed is for one serving, but many packages contain more than one serving! So, look at the serving size and how many servings you are actually consuming.<\/p>\n<p><b>Monitor Calories <\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Nutrition Facts Label tells you the number of <b>calories<\/b> in a serving of food. When it comes to managing your weight, it&#8217;s important to balance the number of calories you <i>consume<\/i> with the number of calories your body <i>uses<\/i> (&#8220;burns&#8221;).\u00a0 Excess body weight can contribute to cardiovascular disease as well as other chronic diseases, so use the Label to compare calories and select the foods that have fewer calories per serving. This simple tip will help you size up calories when comparing and choosing foods: <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>100 calories per serving is MODERATE <\/li>\n<li>400 calories per serving is HIGH <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For additional information visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fda.gov\/Food\/IngredientsPackagingLabeling\/LabelingNutrition\/ucm20026097.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Nutrition Facts Label Programs and Materials<\/a>\u00a0<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fda.gov\/ForConsumers\/ConsumerUpdates\/ucm199058.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Eat for a Healthy Heart<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Contact: Media: 1-301-796-4540\u00a0 Consumers: 1-888-SAFEFOOD (toll free)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- #End Wide Release --><\/p>\n<div id=\"divMediaContact\">\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- #End release --><\/div>\n<p>\n  <\/body><br \/>\n<\/html> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nutrition and Calorie Labeling: Important Information for a Healthy Heart SILVER SPRING, Md., Feb. 3, 2015 \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212; February is American Heart Month.
