Best of the Foodweb: HealthCastle
“Nutrition Advice Exclusively from Registered Dietitians”
Get ready to become addicted. If you have ever had any questions about nutrition, chances are HealthCastle has your answer. Although I usually highlight a blog in the weekly Best of the Foodweb, HealthCastle is much more than a blog: it is an entire website that offers nutritional advice written by registered dietitians. The website is very well organized making it easy to find the kind of information you are looking for. As an overall summary, HealthCastle has recipes, nutrition guidelines, not only for the US, but also for the UK, Canada, and Australia; packaged food comparisons and reviews, nutrition tips based on lifestyle and life stage, tips for dining out, facts about super foods and supplements, I could keep going, but you get the idea: this website is loaded with information. It was painful to only select a few articles to highlight below, so do me a favor and browse through more of HealthCastle’s articles.
