What are little things you do to stay a little bit healthier - cooking or lifestyle?

For example:
I only use canola and olive oil when cooking. Even if it calls for vegetable oil, I substitute with canola or olive. We don't carry any other oil in our house at all.

I used to use fruit substitute when making cakes and brownies. That eliminated ALL the oil and it made the bakery taste a million times better. But the stores around here don't carry it anymore, so I use canola. (If I go out of town and see it, I buy several jars)

I don't carry too many snacks in the house. Instead of buying potato chips, I make homemade popcorn (in canola oil of course ;) ).

We don't drink soda, unless we go out to eat somewhere. We drink either milk, 100% fruit juice or water.

When I eat eggs, I throw away the yolk and only eat the white.

I prefer to make homemade pizzas, so then I can use the best ingredients and use low fat cheese and turkey pepperoni.

I use the stairs instead of the elevator.

I park in the last space when parking (within reason --not at WDW. That would be completely rediculous!!! :eek: )

So, what do you do to keep a little bit healthier?
 
Early to bed, early to rise
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

*glimpses clock*

Uh, um...

Nevermind. ;)
 
Trying again. ;)

Lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer
Ain't that nice?


*remembers this is a family board*

Uh, um...

Nevermind. :o
 
Third time's the charm. :p

I love to laugh
Loud and long and clear
I love to laugh
It's getting worse ev'ry year

The more I laugh
The more I fill with glee
And the more the glee
The more I'm a merrier me
It's embarrassing!
The more I'm a merrier me!

Always try to let positive energy flow both in me and around me. Cuddle with my kitty.
Appreciate the wonders of nature.
