Fresh Snack Ideas!
There's no need to overwhelm yourself with a complex diet to help improve your health.

Small changes can make a wealth of a difference without inconveniencing your lifestyle:
  • Switch to low-fat (1%) or fat-free milk
  • Choose foods labeled "low sodium"
  • Cut out sugary drinks, such as sodas
  • Choose baked food when eating out
  • Try fruits as dessert - such as baked apples

Put Some Spring
In Your Step!

With busy schedules and late working hours, it can be difficult to find the time for exercise. 30 minutes a day can seem intimidating - but just 15 minutes out of your morning and evening routine can help get you there!

 

Take advantage of the upcoming sunshine by arranging group walks with friends - or get out of your winter cabin fever by joining a few group aerobics classes!

 

Keeping variety helps to ensure you don't get bored - and increases your odds of sticking with it!   

Bringing Color To Your Water

 

As the weeks pass and the temperature warms - hydration will become more important than ever. Especially when being active, drinking plenty of water is a great way to maintain good health. Water not only hydrates, but also promotes proper circulation, digestion and can even help beat fatigue!


 

Bored with the flavor? Try adding a few lemon or lime wedges for an extra kick!
