Tired of being tired?

Too tired to exercise? Well, one of the best ways to muster up enough energy to start exercising is to start exercising. A bit of a Catch-22, I realize that, but it's not all too difficult to get around it, either.

Self magazine, citing a journal article published in Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, reports that when persistently tired sedentary people casually biked for 30 minutes three times a week for six weeks, they experienced a marked increase (65 percent) in their energy levels.

To overcome your initial exhaustion, do what the people involved in the study did: start off easy. Then, as your energy levels climb, increase the intensity gradually over time. Before long, you'll find that you have plenty of gas left in the tank at the end of each day for a solid workout. Read more.

2 fresh tomato sauce recipes

Our CSA Farm has begun to produce an abundance of tomatoes these past few weeks. Aside from eating them like apples, as my three-year-old often chooses to do, you can make fresh tomato salad, salsa, or fresh tomato sauce. Our very informal uncooked recipe goes something like this: Chop a bunch of tomatoes and put them in a bowl. Add enough balsamic vinegar and olive oil to cover them. Stir fresh minced garlic and chopped fresh basil into the tomato mixture. Season with seas salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Let marinate at room temperature at least 30 minutes before serving. This is such a refreshing summer meal when served on pasta with a green salad, or a tasty snack as a bruschetta topping.

Healthy Eating at a Restaurant: Is it Possible?

If you and your family love to eat at restaurants, you may think that this lifestyle is not good for a healthy diet. In many cases, you would be correct. However, you can still enjoy restaurants occasionally and maintain your healthy diet. Its all about making good food choices, which starts with learning about the nutrition you need to stay happy, physically healthy, mentally stable, and active. When you pick up the menu, start by skipping over the drink section. Although you may be tempted to enjoy a beer or mixed beverage with your dinner, these usually have many empty calories, which is not good for your body.

Also skip over the appetizer menu, unless it’s to over a side salad. The appetizers at restaurants are usually high-fat foods that are not meant to fill you up and can in fact make you cra...
