Go for a walk! You will increase your energy by going on a brisk walk on a regular basis - 30 minutes every day.
* Do you want to work off some weight and inches?
Go for a walk! Put your body in a fat burning mode, instead of a fat storage mode. Let your body know that you intend to keep it in a fat burning mode too, by exercising regularly!

Go for a walk! Energize your system, work out the stress, and think positive thoughts. You will be amazed at the therapeutic benefits of a brisk walk and positive thoughts.

Better Nutrition, Less Calories!
Many of us are aware of the calories in our foods, but we are usually not aware of how we can really up the nutritional quality of our foods and eat foods much lower in calories. Here are some examples of replacing some common foods with great, healthy, low calorie ones.
* Eat whole grain hot cereals instead of cold cereals. Whole grains have a great balance of carbs and fiber and it's the good kind of carbs we need. Add some fresh fruit (bananas, berries, peaches or such) and a little bit of honey and rice milk (below), and enjoy a great breakfast.
*Eat fresh fruits for breakfast, and between meals instead of chips, crackers, or other unhealthy niblers. If you feel you need more, eat a few raw almonds which are very satisfying and have good raw fat.
Try this recipe from Enjoy Nature's Harvest by Erleen Tilton (see Great Health Books under the Links)
Rice Milk
1 1/2 C. distilled or purified water
1/2 C. cooked brown rice
1 tsp. sesame seeds
1/8 tsp. salt
2 tsp. honey
1 Tbs. oil
Blend all ingredients in blender for 2-3 minutes. For drinking, strain in colander lined with gauze cloth or non-terry dish towel. For cooking or on cereals, no need to strain, unless desired.

Healthy Tips and Recipes
Most of us just eat with not much thought of what we are eating, just satisfying the hunger pains. There needs to be a balance of "nouishing and cleansing" in order to have good energy and great weight management. Take a look at the foods you eat and see if they pass the balance test of vital nutrients below:
* vitamins
* minerals
* fiber
* carbohydrates
* proteins
* fats
If you are eating a bologna sandwich for lunch on white bread, with chips and a glass of milk, then you are getting plenty of carbs, proteins, and fats, but little (if any) vitamins, minerals and fiber. We know the carbs, proteins and fats are way over done in today's fast foods, so take the time and build a lunch or any meal that will focus on the vitamins, minerals and fiber instead.
Here's a couple of great recipes to try for lunch or dinner.
COOL VEGETABLE WRAPS
2 fresh green chilies or 1 bell pepper, diced
2 green onion, chopped
2 avacodos, diced
1 large tomato, diced
alfalfa sprouts and/or lentil sprouts
Almonnaise (below), hummus, or
fresh Mexican salsa
whole wheat pita bread or whole wheat tortillas
Toss all chopped or diced vegetables together. Fill in pita pockets with sprouts and spread or salsa of choice, or roll up burrito style in tortillas. Makes several.
ALMONNAISE
What is Almonnaise? A low fat, creamy almond spread - much better than mayonnaise!
1 C. blanched raw almonds
1 C. water
1 tsp. brewers yeast flakes (high in B vitamins - available at health food store)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. bouillon granules or miso (available at health food store)
1 tsp. onion powder
2 Tbs. apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 C. cold pressed oil
If you don't have all the ingredients specifically, try it anyway until you do. To blanch the almonds, pour boiling water over them and wait 5 minutes; remove skins easily. Place skinned almonds in blender bowl and blend on high. Meanwhile, add other ingredients in order given, into blender while in process. Blend approx. 3 minutes in all. Chill. Makes under 2 cups.
Note: You can substitute the almonds with raw macadamia nuts, pine nuts or raw cashews for variation. All of these make a wonderful creamy mayonnaise-like spread.
