If you're looking for healthy nonstick spray,
this is an awesome option -- certified organic and no propellants! We love Pompeian's spray oils, and this EVOO is a welcome addition to the lineup. And there's no need to limit this spray to cooking; it's great on salads too! FYI: The above stats are for a mere 1/4-second spray. A more-realistic 1-second spray has 15 calories and 1.5g fat.

Sometimes we get a little jealous of all the fun kiddie snacks out there, but the serving sizes usually aren't substantial enough for us. That's why

Wanna get healthy? Laugh it up!
OK, don't laugh
at the idea of exercise; bring laughter
into your exercise routine!
A new study of older adults found that adding "simulated laughter exercises" to a strength, balance, and flexibility program was notably beneficial. Subjects experienced improved mental health, endurance, and confidence in their physical ability. If the thought of simulated laughter weirds you out, perhaps enlist a buddy and work out to a retro exercise video... You know, the ones with the teased hair and leotards? That should get some genuine laughter going.
