IT STARTS AT HOME: Healthy living starts at home. Make sure your kitchen has the cookware and appliances to help maintain healthy habits even for the most fast-paced lifestyle.
EAT HEALTHY ON THE GO: Making healthy meal choices can be easy whether cooking at home or eating. Choose restaurants that serve well balanced whole foods on their menus.
SMART SNACKING SOLUTIONS – Always have a variety of snacks on hand including nuts, sliced fruit and individually wrapped bites that you can stick in your bag and carry on the go
SEASONAL = FLAVORFUL- Eating seasonal is the only way to go. Fruits, vegetables and herbs taste their best when eaten at the peak of ripeness. They are more satisfying and therefore you eat a more moderate portion. Forget asparagus in February and watermelon in December- follow the seasons to eat smarter and better!
KEEP IT MOVING: Regardless if how busy you are try to incorporate some exercise into your daily routine – whether it’s an exercise app, a new work out video or simply walking around the block, it’s important to stay active.
