Bikram yoga is practiced in a special room heated to approximately 105 degrees. This additional heat is said to help the muscles and tendons in your body stretch to their full capacity easier, with less stress, as well as spurring your body to flush out accumulated toxins in the same way that a sauna does. Practicing yoga can improve performance across your body, from improving your breathing to your posture.

Though you should only eat them in moderation, grains are a necessary part of any nutritious diet. These simple, creative recipes will show you how to prepare healthy grains and properly incorporate them into your daily meal plan.

Quinoa-Stuffed Tomatoes
A unique take on traditional stuffed peppers, these quinoa-stuffed tomatoes combine the health benefits of quinoa with a serving of vegetables. By hollowing out a tomato and filling it with quinoa, mixed veggies, and a few simple spices, this makes a fun meal that even young children will enjoy.

Roasted Red Pepper and Toasted Orzo
Enhance the flavor of orzo with the addition of sweet roasted red peppers, chicken broth, and zesty spices. This delicious side dish pairs perfectly with a variety of meats or other main courses, and at just around 200 calories, it won’t ruin your diet.

Wow-y Maui Pasta Salad
Full of fresh island flavor, this Hawaiian-style pasta salad uses cucumbers, carrots, snow peas and pineapple in whole-wheat rotini pasta. It is ideal for a summer cookout side dish or as a light, warm-weather lunch, and its whole-wheat pasta base gives it a full 10 grams of protein.
