Top 10 Spring Resolutions
Small changes you can make for a healthier spring1. Bathing suit countdown begins. Prepare for skimpy clothes by eating light, healthy fare.
2. Start your day with whole grains — it can be as simple as upgrading your toast to multigrain.
3. Time for spring cleaning — purge your pantry of unhealthy foods and restock with good-for-you items.
4. Spring is for salads. Eat a big bowl of leafy greens at the start of a meal for better appetite control.
5. April is asparagus season! Go wild — eight ounces has only 45 calories — but pass on the hollandaise.
6. Include lean protein in all your meals and you'll be less hungry. Protein is not just meat — it can be low-fat dairy, beans, soy or nuts.
7. Treat yourself weekly to wild salmon, rich in healthful Omega-3 fats, when it comes in season this spring.
8. Try a new and unfamiliar fruit or vegetable.
9. For the healthiest snacks, plan them in advance.
10. Splurge on peak-season spring strawberries. One cup of these flavorful berries has only 43 calories and supplies over 100 percent of your daily vitamin C needs.
