Five tips for the 5th of July

So many of us stayed up late on the 4th of July and had more to eat or drink than usual as we socialized with family and friends waiting for the fireworks to begin.

Here are a few tips for getting back to your pre-holiday routine:

Exercise - for at least one hour.
Protein - eat 3 oz of protein (meat, chicken, eggs, fish) with every meal.
Fruits and Vegetables - include 5 fruits or vegetables with your meals and snacks.
Water - drink an extra glass of water when you wake up and before going to bed.
Hugs - are important too and help you reconnect with friends and family.

These simple five tips will get your blood pumping, burn extra calories, keep you full longer, hydrated and help you reduce stress for the upcoming work week.

Cheers!
