Spring is synonymous with a fresh start, and I have some healthy, stress-free ways to live better, EAT better, and improve your well-being this spring!

So, how do we set ourselves up for a healthy spring season? The foundation for a healthy spring is the same for any time of year; look to improve the pillars of health, stress, sleep and nutrition. I’ve got three tips to jumpstart a healthy spring!

Let’s start with stress! As a Registered Dietitian, people know one of my best tips for reducing stress is movement and exercise, but I am also an avid traveler!! And studies show that just booking travel makes us feel happier. In fact, according to Booking.com 75% of US travelers say being close to water instantly makes them feel more relaxed. So, if you’re looking to get rid of stress this spring, I have great news! Booking.com recently added cruises to their list of travel options, with more than 10,000 sailings on over 30 cruise lines, including the largest and best-in-class cruise lines in the world. Cruisers can tap into all of their offerings at cruises.booking.com to seamlessly arrange every element of their trip!

My next tip tackles sleep and nutrition at the same time! March is National Nutrition Month and the perfect time to focus on superfruit snacks with added wellness benefits like U.S. grown tart cherries! Scientific research suggests that tart cherries can help improve sleep, aid in exercise recovery, and even help decrease inflammation and arthritis symptoms. And the best part is that they are delicious and can go in almost any recipe! Tart cherries truly allow snackers to permissibly indulge and cherish every bite! You can find them frozen, canned, dried, and in juice form year-round! To learn more, visit choosecherries.com and follow them on social @ChooseCherries.

Finally, spring means longer days and busier schedules, so my best tip for eating healthy on-the-go is to have simple and nutritious solutions on hand. However, unfortunately, many on-the-go meals and snacks are highly processed. In fact, nearly 40% of US shoppers believe that the breakfast category specifically, is too processed. The solution? I love Applegate Naturals Frittata Bites, the industry’s first and only Certified Humane® frozen egg bites that are 100% natural and high in protein. I love that they feature real, recognizable ingredients. They have 2 delicious varieties (Egg, Uncured Bacon Frittata Bites and Egg, Chicken Sausage, Red Pepper, Onion, and Spinach Frittata Bites) and each serving provides 13-19 grams of protein, with 1 gram of sugar or less. And what’s better is that they are ready-to-heat-and-eat within three minutes. You can find the Frittata Bites at Whole Foods nationwide and at Applegate.com.

So, this spring, spring into a healthier lifestyle my making a few simple changes! A few tweaks can help make a difference in your stress, sleep, and nutrition. #sponsored
