TIPS
- In-season fruits and veggies. Why do apples taste so good in the fall and asparagus in the spring? Because they are in season—which means they cost less and last longer! For a list of in-season fruits and veggies click here.
- Step it up! Sitting all day quickly zaps your energy. Re-charge by walking to ask your co-worker a question, using the restroom farthest away or stepping up and down the bottom step of the staircase.
- Lighten up holiday favorites by substituting roasted sweet potatoes and veggies in place of casseroles and choose the light mayo, sour cream or cream cheese when making festive dips.
- Laugh! Happiness signals your body to release those feel-good chemicals that can boost energy and lower blood glucose levels. So sing along to your favorite tunes, laugh out loud with co-workers or watch a funny movie!
