Weekly Health Tips
I tried some new things in the dining common this week that I thought I would share! These are also easy to make at home.
Breakfast: Whole wheat bread, with two eggs and your choice of cheese. (I like mine over easy, with feta.)
Lunch: Mixed green salad – lately I have been putting pieces of butternut squash on top of my salad and it is delish! Also add pecans, walnuts and other sources of protein.
Exercise: Pushups
Dinner: Fish has a lot of vitamins to offer. Try eating salmon with squeezed lemon and mixed vegetables on the side such as broccoli, brussel sprouts and asparagus. (Salmon is a great source of vitamin B12 and vitamin D.)
Snacking: A great snack that can curve a sweet craving is peanut butter and celery. If not celery, try carrots.
