10 Ways To Sneak Some Extra Fruits and Vegetables In Your Family’s Diet
Written by Susanne Myers from on June 10th, 2008 | 0 CommentsWe all know by now that we should be eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day. But knowing and doing are two different things, aren’t they? Sometimes it is just not easy to get them all in there. We are constantly tempted to fill up on convenience and junk food. If your family is anything like mine, they’d much rather fill up on a bag of chips or a bowl of rice or pasta instead of trying an apple or a plate of steamed broccoli. So we’ll have to get creative. Here are a few ideas to “sneak” some extra vegetables and fruits in your family’s diet.

Written by Susanne Myers from on June 10th, 2008 | 0 CommentsThe time from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day has to be the hardest few weeks to stick to a healthy eating lifestyle or any diet for that matter.

I would like to share a few tips with you that have helped me in the past to stay on track between now and the end of the year.
Are You Drinking Enough Water?
Written by Susanne Myers from on June 10th, 2008 | 0 CommentsYou probably already know that it’s important to drink enough water. A minimum of eight glasses of water a day is recommended. You should aim for more if it is really hot, or you are working out and sweating a lot. Getting enough water in your body will prevent you from getting dehydrated.

You may also experience a lack of energy and a headache.

Here are a few tips to help you remember to drink the water, and to make it a little more pleasant or interesting.
