Ideas for Valentine's Day
10 Healthy – And Alluring! – Suggestions
Cook a delicious low-fat, low-calorie meal together. Experiment with healthy cuisine from around the world. Add some real spice, too! Onions, garlic and ginger are rich in compounds that destroy viruses and bacteria.
Rather than beer or other alcoholic beverages, opt for a glass of red wine. Red wine is rich with antioxidants called phenolics, and red wine drinkers have a 50 percent lower risk of diabetes.
Exercise classes are not only very motivating, they are a great way to meet new friends who share a common interest in exercise and health. Treat yourself to new workout attire while you're at it.
Over time running shoes wear down. The soles no longer act as shock absorbers, and the shock gets passed along to your bones and joints. A brand new pair of running shoes are a welcome fitness gift and will help prevent injuries.
That's right, dancing is a great way to burn calories together. Try the twist, the foxtrot or – if you are daring – the tango, the most romantic of all dances. Want more? Dancing can burn over 300 calories per hour.
While non-traditional ideas are great fun and can be healthy too, don't put yourself under needless stress by forgetting to give your special someone a Valentine's Day card! Love can be a tonic for all of life's challenges, so don't take it for granted.
