Healthy Monday Tip – April 18, 2011
With Earth Day approaching, take time this week to get out and enjoy nature! Whether you go for a bike ride, observe wildlife or participate in a sporting event, now is the perfect time to gear up for spring and more outdoor activity.
Exercise outdoors — Save money and enjoy some fresh air and sunshine by skipping the electrically-powered fitness equipment for a walk, jog or bike ride outdoors.
Wear eco-friendly fitness gear — There are lots of recycled or renewable products being manufactured by companies that focus on offsetting their carbon footprint with eco-friendly products.
Top it off with green tea — After exercising outdoors, enjoy a copy of green tea. Add some freshly-squeezed lemon juice and honey to your cup of tea. The citrus juice helps bring out the antioxicant properties of green tea.
Ginger green tea is a great tea for digestion. Ginger is a natural detox agent.
Get fresh air and exercise is very important for maintaining a healthy body and mind. It is also good for the spirit. Striving to appreciate and enjoy the most natural products and materials available is the purpose of Earth Day.
Get outside and make Earth Day your day to get fit and well while enjoying the natural beauty of your environment.
