The S’s Have It

The S's Have It

Say what you will, but I am consistent in my inconsistencies. Today’s tips are ones that I practice regularly and enjoy the most.  These are especially good to do when you are sick, but work just as well during times of great health!

Soups come in all varieties. Find ones that you like and Enjoy!

38. Soup-er Swap.   Have soup for supper.   Soup's high water content makes it a low-calorie and filling option. Just steer clear of the creamy kinds. Soup is also an economical option, especially if you make it yourself. Last night, I made 4 cups of an awesome beefy vegetable soup. Even with the cost of beef, the total cost for the soup per serving was under $1.50. Eating soup is another great way to get in multiple varieties of veggies into your diet. The benefits just keep adding up without adding to your waist line!

Spice Up Your Life! Try a new spice and see if you like it. You may surprise yourself!

39. Spice it up!  Cayenne pepper really can rev your metabolism, according to numerous research studies. I’m a fan of sneaking spices into my everyday meals.  When making the above soup, I added a couple of teaspoons of red pepper flakes to the broth; it gave the soup a real, but subtle kick! You can also add spice to your drinks. Spicy dark chocolate hot cocoa is a delicious and healthy treat.  Just a pinch can reap healthy profits!
