Excellent Blog
I can really appreciate the time and energy it takes to keep up on a personal blog! When I find a good blog I like to share it with others. If you like to cook, read about food, and experiment with recipes, this blog is for you. The blog is smittenkitchen and is well worth your time and effort saving the link. Deb Perelman is the blog's whitty author that makes her recipe reviews and her cooking experiences fun to read and follow.

New Year, New Eating Habits!
We all know that New Year's resolutions don't work, so let's think of a more effective way to live a healthy lifestyle. Here are a few simple tips from our Get Moving Get Healthy New Jersey program:
1- Reduce the amount of sugar sweetened food you consume. If you can't totally give up soda, at least cut back the number of servings you are drinking each day. By consistently cutting back the amount of sugar your body will be healthier and probably thinner too!
2- Eat low-fat or fat-free dairy foods. By switching to low reduced fat dairy you can reduce your cholesterol, fat and save calories too. Reach for low-fat cheese, yogurt and fat-free milk for good health.
3- Make water your drink of choice. Our bodies need water, it's that simple. Our bodies don't need extra calories and fat from many of the liquids we drink.
4- Increase the amount of protein you eat from plant foods. Eat beans, beans, and more beans for great sources of protein without the added fat.
5- Increase your level of physical activity. Walking is a simple form of exercise, and it can make a world of difference to your health if you increase the number of steps you are walking everyday. Aim for 10,000 steps per day for optimum health.
6- Make sure half of the grains you consume are whole grain foods. Look for whole grain rice, breads, wraps, and cereals. Give your body the nutrients and fiber it needs!
Make this the first day of the rest of your healthy life!!!
