Win a $40 Prize Package to Put You on the Path to Better Health

By Charlotte on March 19, 2015 6:00 AM

Bob and I have stepped up our fitness routine lately. Eating right and exercising have always been important. But those healthy habits become an obsession when you've survived both prostate and breast cancer, see the big 6-0 marker looming ahead and have a 40-year high school reunion on the calendar. (I've got to get in shape before July!).

That's why we're eating more vegetables and trying to walk at least 10,000 steps daily. I aiso strive to climb 50 flights of stairs every day. Whew!

RB Cran Picture 200.jpgWant to join us in our drive to get fit? We've teamed up with the folks at Kellogg's to put one lucky reader on the path to better health. We're giving away a $40 prize package filled with good-for-you options, including: 

I'm wild about dried cranberries. I adore them in cookies, salads, quick breads or straight from the package. So I couldn't wait to try the new cranberry-infused version of my long-time favorite cereal. It blends crispy bran flakes made from whole grain wheat with two scoops of delicious raisons and cranberries for a flavor that's both tart and sweet. Yum!

Besides tasting great, this breakfast delight is packed with nutrition. Every serving of Kellogg's Raisin Bran with Cranberries contains five grams of fiber and an excellent source of vitamin E. I like eating it dry because the crunch is addictive. But add a half cup of skim milk and you also get vitamin D, 15 percent of your daily value of calcium and 8 grams of protein.

Diabetes-Friendly Chicken Burrito Bowl

ChickenBurritoBowlEverydayDiabetes 600.jpg

By Laura Cipullo and Lisa Mikus, authors of Everyday Diabetes Meals
Image credit: Colin Erricson

Prepare your own Mexican quick fix with this Chipotle-inspired bowl. Carbs are moderated by filling the bowl with beans, extra veggies and chicken. No need for rice, since the beans count as carbs.

Tips:

If you love tomatoes, increase the quantity to 1/2 cup, but note that the carbohydrates will also increase.

If preparing this recipe for one person, cut all of the ingredients in half. Or simply prepare the full recipe up to the end of step 2 and store leftover chicken and vegetable-bean mixture in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave on High for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through, and continue with step 3.

Health Bite: The iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, copper and zinc in black beans help to keep bones strong and healthy.
