Marlene's Healthy Habits

Sometimes gettin' & stayin' in shape is about changin' habits.  For instance, do you automatically hop in an elevator or on an escalator even when there are stairs right next to them?

Sea salt and table salt have the same basic nutritional value, despite the fact that sea salt is often promoted as being healthier.

When it comes to fish, it's pretty easy to see that broiled fish is better for you than fried fish.  But what about farm-raised fish versus wild-caught fish?

Salad can be a great option when you're looking for a healthy meal.  Yep, I said meal.  Salad is not just a big bowl of lettuce!  Oh no.  Don't let salads fool you.  Salads can be fun and filling too.

Last summer I started buying coconut water when my son asked for it.  I finally decided to try it myself, and my first impression was not very favorable.

When you want something sweet (like a donut), why not eat a muffin instead?

Let's face it... kids (and adults) don't always eat healthy.  And a lot of kids (and adults) like things like chicken nuggets.
