Nutritional habits

Strawberries & Cream
From NMR's kitchen to yours.
4 oz. cream cheese, softened 1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbs. sugar 1 cup heavy cream
Fresh strawberries
Combine the cream cheese, sugar & vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed until smooth. Once smooth, while still mixing, slowly pour in the heavy cream. Continue to mix until the cream can hold a stiff peak.
Strawberries are high in Vitamin C and provide an excellent source of Vitamin K, folic acid, potassium and disease fighting phytochemicals. They also contain antioxidants which fight free radicals that can damage cells and may contribute to the formation of may kinds of cancer.

Reconditioning exercises
| |
The health benefits of exercise are endless! It is an excellent stress reliever, boosts your metabolism, lowers your risk of certain disease, improves your sleep quality, body aesthetics and energy. People suffering from fibromyalgia have found that exercise improves their fitness and helps to reduce pain and fatigue.
Reduce the chance of injury by stretching for a few minutes before each workout. Stretching after your workout will decrease stiffness and soreness in the muscles. Before walking, doing a hamstring stretch is important to lengthen the muscle for full mobility of your spine, hip and knee.
Hamstring Stretch:
- have full extension of the leg
- foot is flexed
- back is straight
- lean forward reaching for the foot, shin, knee or however far you are able to reach
- hold for 30 seconds
- repeat 2 times.
