I’ve talked a lot about gardening lately, especially since April was National Gardening Month, and I found one more article that I though the gardeners out there would appreciate. The Santa Barbara Independent tells you how to grow a thriving garden by using crop rotation. This technique seems fairly time consuming, detailed, and scientifically based. All things that would normally scare me away. But if you’re a vegetable gardener, it’s also definitely worth your time and brain power.
For those of you who aren’t the gardening type, but still want your family to eat right at home, it all starts with the choices you make at the grocery store. The Mercury Life gives you great tips on how to shop healthy at the grocery store. Of course, there are the tips you hear all the time, like buy fresh food instead of over processed food in boxes. But they also have a few new tips. Check out the article for all the tips. And before you get to the store, check out this article from Today’s Diet on foods that help you mend. You may want to add a few items to your list once you find out what foods can be your ally when battling stress, fighting fatigue or illness, or trying to heal from wounds or injuries.
Of course as busy as we are nowadays, all this talk about eating healthy normally gets put aside when you’re too tired to cook. We’ve all had those days when just deciding what to cook for dinner seems like a terrible chore by itself. So we opt for take out instead. But eating out doesn’t always have to mean unhealthy. Fitness at Home shares their guide to eating out right. Many restaurants are starting to realize the need for healthier menu choices and this article helps you pick them out.
And as I’m sure you know, a healthy lifestyle doesn’t just mean eating right, it means being active.

They show you how to add new flavors to your fitness routine. Most of these tips are simple modifications to your exercise routine to make it a little less mundane.
