Top 5 ways to be Healthier

Here are top 5 ideas to motivate and inspire you throughout the sunny months ahead:

1.Go for a daily walk. Now that the days are longer, it’s easier to squeeze in a short walk at the start or end of your day. Aim for at least 30 minutes most days of the week (but if you can only

commit to 15 or 20, that’s still well worth the effort). When things start to heat up, schedule an

early morning or late evening walk when temps are cooler.

2. Make salad your main course a few times a week. Take advantage of farm-fresh lettuce and

the bounty of seasonal produce to concoct creative salad bowls. For a quintessential summer

meal, top your greens with sweet corn, diced tomato, avocado, and crumbled feta.

3. Get grilling. It’s a terrific way to infuse flavor into lean proteins like skinless chicken breasts and thighs, turkey burgers, fish, shrimp, and pork tenderloin, especially if you start with a tasty

spice rub or marinade. If you cook extra, you’ll have ready-to-eat proteins to add to leafy green

or grain-based salads for simple meals later in the week.

4. Start spiralizing. I don’t endorse a lot of single-use kitchen gadgets, but I’m pretty fond of the vegetable spiral slicers that are all the rage right now.

5. Plant something … anything! Never grown anything edible before? Don’t let that stop you; starting a simple garden in pots or other containers is actually really easy. Go to the nearest

hardware store and pick up a large planter, a bag of potting soil, and a small potted plant, like

any fresh herb or one of the vegetables listed here.
