Healthy Valentine Day Tips

Healthy Valentine Day Tips
A proper diet and exercise are keys to a healthy lifestyle. This Valentine’s Day, give the gift of health.
Rather than giving the gift of chocolate, consider a gift that has more permanence like a gift certificate to a local gym or a cookbook focusing on healthy eating.
Quality time is a great gift. Schedule weekly date night. As the days begin to lengthen and warm-up, bundle up and enjoy the great outdoors.
If your children are having a Valentine’s Day party as school, consider sending mini-boxes of raisins, mini-bags of pretzels or stickers.
Cooking at home is one way to control what you eat. Make a date with your spouse/significant other to attend a cooking class.
Take a walk with family members. Walking 30 minutes a day provides health benefits.
If going out for dinner is on the agenda for Valentine’s Day, look for or ask for heart healthy options.
Show you care by giving of your time and talents to an organization in need.
