When it comes to salads are you a chopper or shopper? Nowadays you can buy bagged salad greens and cut out the time of washing and spinning on your own. But is it worth it? In reality, you're probably saving yourself no more than five minutes by buying these pricey bags. But to many, those five minutes make it a lot more likely that salad will be served. And when you consider all the waste that occurs when you wash and trim a head of lettuce yourself, the extra cost is probably just a few cents. So which bagged salad greens give you more bang for your three bucks? In terms of nutrients, the spinach and Romaine lettuce options are your best bets.
If you exercise on a regular basis, good for you. If you have a hard time finding the time to stick to a routine, maybe all you need is an appointment. Sometimes all we need is a standing date, like Tuesdays at 5. Think about it, if you’re paying for a class and it’s set at a certain date and time, you can mark it on your calendar. To help you get back into shape and stick to a routine, St. John’s is offering a new fitness program. Each session is different so you can pick the one that is right for you.
