Daily Health Tips update for April 22:

Honor Earth Day by adopting three earth-friendly habits that also positively influence your personal health and wellness.
  1. Become a Locovore. Conventional produce travels an average of 1,500 miles before reaching your home. Buying locally grown foods means you get more nutrient-dense fruits and veggies and you reduce carbon dioxide emissions because there’s less truck travel.
  2. Walk a Mile. Walking a mile burns 100 calories and for each mile you don’t drive, you’ll prevent a pound of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the atmosphere.
  3. Skip the Drive-Thru. Fast food meals contain more than 800 calories and their packaging takes up 15% of landfills.
