Healthy Living Tips From Aspen April 2010
Eat * Sweat * Play
 
EAT Healthy Apple 
Healthier, Cheaper
 
 A recent survey shows that most people think healthy eating is too expensive.  It's true that fresh produce may cost more than a fast food burger, but you don't always have to pay more to eat better.
 
 Here are four easy ways to improve your diet without spending an extra dime.
 
1) Switch to whole wheat bread and brown rice. Whole grains like these give you more fiber and make you feel fuller. Typically they tend to cost the same as white rice and bread.

2) Use frozen vegetables! Most veggies are frozen immediately after they're picked, so they're flavorful, full of vitamins, and inexpensive at the same time.
 
3) Eat less meat. Meat is probably the most expensive thing on your grocery list. Why not make it Meatless Mondays? You can cut down on calories and saturated fat, especially if you eliminate red meat.

4) Stop buying soda. Drinking sugary, carbonated drinks isn't great for your body, and soda is much more expensive than water, which is healthier and for the most part...free!
SWEAT  run run, run and run!
 
 Running is an excellent form of exercise if you wish to get fit and control your weight as well. Running for 30 minutes three or four times every week will reduce the size of your waist, strengthen your heart and cardiovascular system, help improve the tone and definition of your muscles, and give you a positive mental attitude. Running can also be fantastic for your social life.
 
Here are some reasons for starting to run today.
 
1) Running is the speediest way to improve your cardiovascular health. You will become fitter more quickly by running on a regular basis.
 
 2) Running is among the least expensive types of exercise. You will just need a pair of running shoes plus shorts and a T-shirt before you start.
 
3) Running is simple to learn. The majority of people will have run sometime in their life, so there will be no huge learning curve for you to negotiate.
 
4) Running is brilliant for lowering your level of stress. There are not many better options than running if you wish to clear out the cobwebs and concentrate your mind. Many inspired ideas have been, and can be, formed while out running. 
PLAY "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
