Why is “Healthy Living” important to you?

Healthy living is important to me because overall health depends on your lifestyle including your diet and exercise.

What is your go-to healthy meal when you are short on time?

When I am short on time, I love to make simple meals such as quick vegetarian tacos (whole-wheat tortillas, low-sodium black beans, tomatoes, onions, lettuce and salsa).

Are there any foods that you consider to be off-limits completely?

I do not consider any foods completely off-limits, but I do try to limit fried foods, fast food and having too much dessert.

In addition to eating right, do you have any other tips to share on overall wellness?

Yes! In addition to eating healthy, I think it’s important to stay active and exercise regularly. I try to exercise 4-5 days per week including running, biking, walking and weight lifting. Working out makes me feel great!
