Small Steps Toward Health, One Monday at a Time

The Healthy Monday campaign began in 2006. After a weekend of fun make sure that Monday is the day you recommit to a healthy lifestyle.

The "Healthy Monday" website says Monday should be the day that all health breaks loose.
"It’s a movement of people and organizations who commit every Monday to the behaviors and actions that will end preventable disease in the U.S." The website offers numerous tips and ideas on getting your life back on track from promoting meatless Mondays to Monday 2000 which supports the Food and Drug Administration's recommendation of eating 2000 calories per day.

The tip for today is:

"This Monday prepare for the 4th with fruit -
Go red, white and blue with pomegranate, bananas and grapes in your salad. Blend strawberries, plain non-fat yogurt and blueberries for a smoothie rich in flavor and antioxidants. Who thought eating healthfully could be so patriotic?"
