Flip Flops and Baseball Hats and More


Apparently we wearers of flip flops and baseball hats need to be more vigilant about putting on sunblock. Doctors are seeing increased melanoma statistics, because we are wearing these 2 articles of clothing and NOT slathering sunblock on the tops of our exposed feet or our exposed ear tips. Big no-no AND we need to remember our kids wear flip flops and baseball hats too.

Stop buying those expensive sports drinks to re-fuel after workouts. First of all, we should all be budgeting, and these drinks are costly. Secondly, new research shows that whole grain cereal with fat free milk is a great post-workout refueling snack. Remember, portion control is the key - a cup of cereal with 6-8 ounces of skim milk should do the trick AND help you to save big bucks.

Finally a new diet book, Skinny Chicks Don't Eat Salad is out, and I'm sure it has some great recommendations BUT I will keep hoping the day will come when we all embrace the idea of a "family wellness plan" instead of another adult dieting plan. Just wishful thinking on my part.
