Spring into Fitness and Revamp your Exercise Routine
The weather is warming up, and our bodies are craving some vitamin D. The sunshine boosts our adrenaline and motivates us to get moving outdoors. Walking, jogging, hiking, and biking are all great ways to experience the warmer weather and take in different scenery. It is time to put your cell phone down, step outside of your office walls, and explore nature. Take a walk in your neighborhood with friends or family. Release endorphins and stress.
Fiber is one of the least eaten and understood nutrients. Most people know about how fiber helps the digestive system but few know about how it helps with heart disease, cholesterol, and weight loss. It is estimated that Americans only get about 15 grams of fiber per day even though the recommendations for women are 21-25 grams and men 30-38 grams. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. Each one has its own share of benefits.

Water’s Role in Your Body
- Water makes up 75% of the body and 85% of the brain.
- Water is necessary for the body to digest, transport, and absorb the nutrients in food.
- Water is required for breathing and for proper functioning of the cardiovascular system.
- Water is the main component of sweat. When sweat evaporates from the skin it takes with it some of the body’s heat; thus, it serves as an important regulator of body temperature.
How Much Water Do I Need?
Bet you already know this one- at least 64 ounces of water daily for optimal hydration!
