As spring arrives, fresh produce like berries, leafy greens, and vegetables begin to reach their peak, offering better flavor, quality, and variety than at other times of the year. These ingredients are special not only because they taste fresher, but because they make it easier to create meals that feel lighter and more vibrant after the colder months.
The morning can set the tone for the rest of the day. Waking up to the incessant call of the alarm clock, mental to-do-lists and other phone notifications can easily set the tone for a chaotic morning. Starting the day with chaos can also lead to unbalanced and erratic moments throughout the day leading to one being unfocused and making haste decisions.
As the weather starts to warm up, staying hydrated matters more than we tend to think about. Most people associate dehydration with feeling extremely thirsty, but it usually shows up before that point. By the time you notice thirst, your body may already be a little low on fluids.
Spring is upon us and it is the perfect time to reset and refresh your kitchen. Throughout the seasons, our pantries, cabinets, and refrigerators can become cluttered and inundated with forgotten items, duplicate purchases, and products that are beyond peak quality. A thorough reset can help reduce waste, ensure foods are still safe for consumption, and save money.

Since 1973, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has designated March to celebrate National Nutrition Month where healthcare providers highlight the vital role of nutrition in overall health. This year’s theme is Discover the Power of Nutrition, which reminds us that food is powerful and influences all aspects of our overall wellbeing. Nutrition not only has the power to fuel our bodies but also the power to prevent and heal. The nutrients provided in lean protein, whole grains, healthy fruits, and vegetables can help provide energy, stabilize blood sugar, boost immunity, increase mental clarity and decrease the risk of heart disease.
March Madness isn’t just about buzzer-beaters and busted brackets — it’s also a full-on celebration of your classic game-day snacks. This year we’re giving those classics a little twist, think of all the comfort and crowd-pleasing flavor you expect, with smarter, healthier twists. Our recipes lighten up your favorite game-day snacks by cutting back on unhealthy fats while boosting protein, so you stay satisfied longer without sacrificing flavor.
For decades, the scale has been placed at the pinnacle of health measurement and the judge of progress. Used by healthcare professionals and individuals, the number on the scale has been an indicator of success or sometimes failure depending on the number. The truth is that the number doesn’t represent total health and as recent research tells us, for a more accurate picture of health, we must move beyond the scale.
