The world is alive with color now that spring is in the air! Wishing you a wonderful spring season!

An upscale American grill and wine bar, Seasons 52 offers incredibly delicious, yet healthy food that will surprise and delight guests. Boasting that every menu item is less that 475 calories, Seasons 52 manages to provide above-average sized portions that are extremely tasty. The Flatbreads are a must-try, similar to a very thin crust pizza and a great way to start your meal. The rainbow trout and pork tenderloin make delicious (and nutritious!) entrees, as well as one of the entreé salads full of the freshest seasonal vegetables. Seasons 52 has even dreamed up the perfect, health-conscious way to finish your meal: try one of the "mini indulgence," shot glass-sized portions of favorites like Old Fashioned Carrot Cake, Rocky Road, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse. Four seasonal menus, with some updates weekly, rotate throughout the year, each drawing upon locally grown, in-season produce. Seasons 52 also offers 100 wines, 60 by the glass, to encourage wine tasting and exploration, including a selection of organic varietals. With a dark wood and high-ceiling interior complete with fireplaces for cold winter nights, Seasons 52 is a relaxing place to kick back and enjoy wine and healthfully delcious food.

Walking is a valuable fitness tool whether you are 8 or 80. But, for seniors, it is an especially effective way to lower blood sugar, reduce body fat, lower blood pressure, and improve bone density. In addition, walking can significantly reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke in older individuals.

Another advantage of walking is its low cost of entry – other than a good pair of shoes, you need little else to enjoy this revitalizing activity. Besides the physiological benefits of walking, there are also psychological benefits as well. The natural beauty of your surroundings, the birds chirping, and the calming sound of the stream as it bubbles over the stones are just a few examples of the positive mental stimulus and stress relief walking can provide. Or enjoy walking with a friend which also promotes good mental health and social interaction.

Studies show that walking just 30 minutes a day, five times a week can significantly reduce your risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, or joint problems. As with all activities, it is important to consult your physician before you begin any exercise program.

If you’re looking for a fun, simple way to greatly improve your overall health and well-being, go for a walk!
