'Team Get Fit' Tip of the Week
How are those 5 meals a day going? Let's talk proper snacks this week. Each time you eat, pair that meal or snack with a fruit and/or vegetable. Getting in those 3-5 recommended daily servings (generally, one serving is equivalent to the size of your fist) will be a cinch! This takes a little planning, so hit the farmers' market on Saturday or the grocery store early in the week to stock up on nutritional items. Seasonal produce is always best. (The Chamber will be featuring weekly fitness/wellness tips from Get Fit Dan River Region to assist you in having a healthier workforce. We hope you will share it with your employees and co-workers.)
