HEALTHY LIVING TIPS:

Something’s Steamy!  There are many ways to enjoy the fresh vegetables in abundance at grocery stores and farmers’ markets.  Remember that a microwave oven can steam vegetables in less than five minutes and stove-top methods require a shorter time than casserole preparation.  Try a variety of spices and olive oils over steamed vegetables to add flavor and variety.

Move Alarm!  Most people have access to an alarm on a computer calendar, iPad calendar, or phone.  Consider setting alarms that remind you to “move!”  When the alarm sounds, stand up from your desk and stretch, walk a set of nearby stairs, do 10 wall push-ups, or lift some small hand weights.  Using an alarm that reminds you to exercise just a little throughout your day is a prevention method that is easily implemented at work.
