2016-2017:
April: Make sure you are taking time for yourself. Take a walk and get some sunshine. Not too much that you get a sunburn, but enough that you get some much needed Vitamin D. Vitamin D is extremely important for your mood, and with the winter we've had we will take all the sun we can get. March: One of the best things you can do in the morning is to stretch! Stretch it out in the morning if you can. It allows you to take a minute and help your body relax before you start your busy day. Try to take a few minutes every morning after you wake up and every evening before bed and stretch your body out. We put our bodies through a lot, even if we don't realize it. Take a moment to treat your muscles right and give them the love they deserve. February: Give your body some extra love by taking your vitamins a natural way. Eat Fruit! Did you know that there a quite a few fruits that have more vitamins than oranges? Those fruits include: Strawberries, mangoes, pineapple, and kiwi's among other fruits and vegetables. Give your body some extra love and your mouth a delicious treat with natural sugars, instead of the processed kind. January: It is still cold out and we need to stay warm, so try this marinade for those veggies your cooking! Cook your veggies for about a minute and a half of boiling water, then transfer to a pan, and add the marinade below. You can do a mix of veggies or just one type. Whatever you decide! 1/4 Cup extra-virign olive oil 3 Tablespoons red-wine vinegar 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary 1 large clove of garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper <Recipe from Eating Well Magazine> December: December is Here! Holidays are in the air, and winter break is just arround the corner. Make sure you stay warm in the winter with warm cocoa, hot tea or some warm eggnog. Try mixing it up with a chai and egg nog, you can also make a "light" egg nog with some soy milk, almond milk or 2% milk. Have fun with it. It is the holidays afterall. Another fun recipe would be these oatmeal chi cups. Find the recipe here. November: It is a time to enjoy time with friends and family. Holidays should be spent with those you love and enjoy spending time with. As the weather is getting colder now we all enjoy those wonderful warm drinks that keep us warm from the inside out. To keep with the apple theme of the fall try making your own homemade apple cider, follow the link to learn how here. October: It is APPLE SEASON!!!! Fall is the best time to take a breather and enjoy that fresh fall air. Apples are the fruit of knowledge, it is why we give them to teachers! So here are a few ways to eat apples. Whether you are a granny smith apple eater or a fuji apple eater. You can make the Apples fresh again with these few tricks: Add them to a "fall salad" Mix up some arugula, sliced apples, walnuts/ pecans/ sliced almonds(only if you aren't allergic), dried cranberries [another fall treat], and some cheese (goat cheese, blu cheese, feta, or your favorite cheese!) Bam! you now have a wonderfully delicious and HEALTHY salad! If neither of those are your style try homemade apple sauce! Here's how to make it: take 1lb bag of apples, wash and peel them. Place in a pot with water to boil. Add fresh cinnamon sticks to the pot with the apples. Simmer the apples and cinnamon until reasonably soft. You want them soft enough to poke your fork into, but not so soft they are mushy. Once the apples are soft enough, remove from the water leaving the cinnamon behind, and add ground nutmeg, and lemon. If you love cinnamon you can add more ground cinnamon to the mix. You can also optionally add apple cider to the mix. Once everything is added to together, use a potato masher and mash the apples and seasonings together until you have the desired consistency. September: Labor Day is just around the corner and with the heat we get this time of year, make sure you are drinking plenty of water! For every half hour you sweat make sure you drink at least 1 glass of water on top of the water your body naturally needs daily. Take your body weight and divide by 2 that is how many ounces you should drink a day. If you weigh 100 lbs you should be drinking 50 oz of water a day. Remember 1 cup is equal to 8-ounces! Also, make sure you get plenty of vitamins! Cold and flu season is just around the corner, and what better way of getting vitamins than eating fruit! Make a "fruit salsa": blueberries, jicama, cilantro, strawberries, little bit of lime juice and voilà. Fresh fruit salsa packed with vitamins!
