Spring Into Health: Simple Tips for a Fresh Start

By Kelley Marvin

Spring is finally here, bringing with it a sense of renewal and fresh beginnings! For many in our community, the transition into spring offers a chance to embrace small, manageable changes that can significantly impact our health and well-being. Here are three simple ways to make the most of this vibrant season.

1. Enjoy Seasonal Greens Spring greens like spinach, kale, and dandelion are not only delicious but also packed with essential vitamins and minerals. Incorporating these leafy greens into your meals can boost your energy and support overall health. They are easy to add to salads, smoothies, or even as a side dish to your favorite meals.

2. Hydrate with Infused Water Staying hydrated is crucial, especially as the weather warms up. Infused water is a fun and tasty way to increase your water intake. Simply add slices of lemon, cucumber, or berries to a jug of water and let it sit for a few hours. The result is a refreshing, flavorful drink that keeps you hydrated and helps flush out toxins.

3. Grow Your Own Herbs Spring is the perfect time to start a small herb garden. Herbs like basil, mint, and parsley are easy to grow and require minimal space. They can be grown in pots on your windowsill or in your backyard. Fresh herbs not only enhance the flavor of your meals but also offer numerous health benefits, from improved digestion to anti-inflammatory properties.

As Always, Stay Inspired!
