monthly health challenge :: november

This month's healthy challenge focuses, once again, on eating healthy. Studies have shown that we should consume less red meat in our diets. There are plenty of healthier sources of protein to choose from. Poultry, fish, legumes, milk, eggs and nuts are among some of the healthy alternatives to red meat. Keep in mind that if you are eating red meat, it's best to choose the leanest cuts possible. November seems like the perfect month to focus on our meat choices. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, there will be plenty of turkey recipes all over the internet (and by the internet I mean Pinterest, of course). Take advantage of the good prices on turkey this month and try out a few new recipes. Who knows, you might find some new family favorites… and improve your health along the way.
