👟According to the American Heart Association, walking improves heart health (lowers risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes) as much as running.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Mango BBQ Sauce 🥭🌱
I have made different variations of this in the past. I have mixed Brussels sprouts with the sauce and then roasted them. I have also blended a mango with the sauce, so it was smooth and creamy. This time, I decided to use a store-bought sauce, combine it with diced mango and add the sauce before serving the Brussels sprouts. Which variation sounds better to you? 💚
The Best Exercise
According to experts, the best workout is simply whichever one you enjoy—because that’s the one you’ll actually do.🚶🏻♀️
Doing what you like will promote consistency. Consistency and dedication are the best indicators of workout success. 🙌🏼
I have always enjoyed fitness classes. Working out in group settings can boost motivation, burn more calories and make exercise fun. In the past couple years, I have also preferred outdoor fitness classes. The fresh air and the morning sun, makes the workouts even more enjoyable for me. 😎

Girls Walk on the Park & Farmers’ Market 👩🌾
How often do you go to a farmers’ market? If you live in Southern California, where is your favorite farmers’ market located? 🥬🌽🥕🥔🍎🧅🌶️🧄🍓🍆🥑🍊
Many small farms cannot afford to label their produce organic, but the best thing to do is to ask about their grown practices, which might be better than the organic standards of the food industry USDA. 🌱It’s also a great way to support local farmers in your community. 💚
