Healthy Habits: Spring Into a Healthier You

 With spring upon us, what better time than now to get back on a healthy track! With so many of us hibernating this winter, the change of season is a great time to get our bodies moving, pick up some healthy eating habits and find ways to de-stress.  In this interview, Health and Nutrition Expert Katherine Brooking will show off the latest trends and tools to looking and feeling great this season.  Whether it’s taking some ‘me time’ or  whipping up a delicious healthy snack, Katherine has great tips on how to spring into a healthier you. 

 

Some of Katherine’s tips will include:

 

• DE-STRESS WITH A GETAWAY WEEKEND: Getting away for the weekend on your own or with family is a great way to de-stress.  Check out all-in-one websites that can offer great staycation deals on car rentals, cozy local accommodations and keep you up to date on local COVID-19 restrictions.
• BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM EVEN WHILE ON-THE-GO: It’s always a great idea to incorporate a vitamin and dietary supplements into your daily routine in addition to eating fresh fruits and vegetables to ensure you are getting your daily nutrients and boosting that immune system!
• SQUEEZE IN MORE FRUITS AND VEGGIES: Only 1 in 10 American adults eat enough fruits and vegetables, according to the CDC. Try adding a cup of frozen berries to your morning cereal or make a mid-afternoon smoothie or snack with avocado, spinach or kale.
• GET MOVING:  Regular exercise (3-5 times per week) is vital to staying fit and healthy. With springtime's warmer weather, get outdoors and enjoy! Brisk walking, jogging or biking will keep extra calories from becoming extra pounds. Not only will more exercise help you burn calories, it also serves as a stress reliever and boosts endorphins (the ‘feel good’ chemicals) in the brain.
