Obesity rates are skyrocketing for both young & old and folks are encouraged to set down those remotes and hohos and step on out into the wild blue yonder and discover the great outdoors. This site will try to give you some tips on what to do beyond your front door as well as eating better and improving your well being. We have a strong community. Let's make it a healthy one too.

Healthy Fat

Fat isn't all the same. Saturated fat is saturated with bad cholesterol, but unsaturated fats can help to lower bad cholesterol. You can find these good fats in avocados, nuts, olives, dark chocolate and flaxseed oil. Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats that are found in wild salmon, cod, and walnuts and help regulate blood sugar. Watch your portion sizes!
