[FOOD&RECIPES]
by Elizabeth Kelly "No way." "Come on. Just one bite won't hurt you." "Ewww. It's gross!" It's a scene that plays out at dinnertime in thousands of households across the country. But if you're picturing a frustrated mother and her rebellious five-year-old, think again. The truth is that many adults turn up their noses at certain foods, and no amount of... Read More

4. Explore the Orient the Healthy Way
[DIET&FITNESS]
Hungry for Chinese food? Wok this way. When most people think of healthy cuisine, Chinese food isn't the first thing that comes to mind, which is ironic. Traditional Asian fare actually is chock-full of vegetables, and meat and chicken are treated almost like condiments. Asian cuisine draws upon rice, beans, fish, nuts, grains and seeds as its main protein sources. Another key component is soy, such as tofu, miso and tempeh, which helps... Read More

6. A Veggie a Day...
[DIET&FITNESS]
You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy a meat-free day every now and then. Try to set aside one or two days a week to substitute meat with something healthier.

7. Soy Far, Soy Good?
