Sow your oats! Oats contain soluble fiber, known to help lower “bad” LDL cholesterol. Whole oats, quick-cooking oats, and steel cut oats are delicious breakfast cereals. Add oats to burgers, or top casseroles with a sprinkle of oats. Beware of sugared and brown-sugared instant oatmeals and cold cereals that have sugar in the first two ingredients. Even though they’re oats, the sugar content reduces their nutrition value.

Swim yourself slim. Water provides a stress-free, non-impact environment for both cardiovascular and muscle endurance activity. If you are recovering from an orthopedic injury a water workout may be the way to rehabilitation. Swimming uses the entire body and is a great way to get your heart rate up. Incorporating props in the pool like kickboards, aqua bells and webbed gloves adds to the fun."
