A Busy College Student's Healthy Shopping ListI’m so proud of my daughter for planning ahead, making her (stock-up) grocery shopping list, sharing it with me, and allowing me to share it with you.

With her job, she has been paying for her own groceries, yet I was more than happy to send her some extra money to replenish her food with this list:

salmon, chicken, or turkey

pretzels

string cheese

salads

frozen meals

yogurt

eggs and turkey bacon

apples, bananas, grapes, blueberries

carrots

bread, bagels

smoothie ingredients: spinach, blueberries, oranges

May we all be inspired to cook healthier and eat healthier!

Love, Health & Happiness,

Prevention Pays OffLast week I was sick for a few days. It started with some sneezing and a runny nose. The next day I had a fever of 101 degrees for less than 24 hours, and by the fourth day I was just about back to my healthy self!

There is a virus going around and I attribute the “mild case” I had to living a healthy lifestyle of eating an abundance of vegetables, along with some fruit and whole grains.  In addition, I meditate daily, drink lots of water, get some daily movement and go to sleep early. See last weeks post “Please Take Care of Me,” for more details about prevention.

By comparison, other people I know who have been sick with similar symptoms have had a sore throat, bad cough and higher fever, lasting for days. About a week before I developed any symptoms, I had begun drinking apple cider vinegar, one tablespoon in 6-8 ounces of water each morning for the health benefits. I never had a sore throat or a cough, and during the days I felt sick, I increased the drink to 2-3 times a day.

Do all you can this year to stay healthy, including frequently washing your hands!

Love, Health & Happiness,

Phyllis
