Greek yogurt: Why it’s good for you, how to work it into your diet

Registered dietitian Molly Kimball and “Trim & Terrific” cookbook author Holly Clegg tell you why non-fat Greek yogurt is so good for you, and how to incorporate it into your diet.

Molly says:

Belly-friendly: Yogurt is one of the best food sources of probiotics, the healthy bacteria naturally present in our digestive tracts.

Lactose tolerant: Yogurt often can be tolerated by people with lactose intolerance, since the live cultures essentially digest the lactose for us.

Strong bones: One single-serving carton provides 20 percent of our calcium needs for the day.

Packed with protein: Ounce for ounce, Greek yogurt has more than twice the protein of regular yogurt. A single-serving carton contains 15 to 20 grams of protein — about what you get in 2 to 3 ounces of lean meat.

Good for blood pressure: Not only is Greek yogurt low in sodium, it’s also high in calcium and is a good source of potassium, all of which can help to lower elevated blood pressure.

Holly says:

Greek yogurt has a delightfully tangy taste, making it a perfect substitute for your sour cream on tacos.

Add your favorite berries and high-fiber granola for a great start to your morning or a super healthy afternoon pick-me-up.

Mix in savory seasonings such as garlic, dill and parsley for a zingy dip for carrots, celery sticks and cucumber rounds.

Make your creamy dressing low in fat and calories by substituting Greek yogurt for mayo and sour cream.

5 Reasons to Jump Rope

Jumping rope is an often overlooked method for getting into shape. After all, a piece of string can’t hope to compete with a high-tech treadmill. Despite its simplicity, jumping rope is one of the most effective ways to exercise your heart, lose weight and add variety to your workout. Here are five reasons you should consider jumping rope for your cardiovascular workout.

1) It is simple and free

All you need to start jump roping is an inexpensive rope and place to jump. There are higher end models that you can buy, but I found that a simple plastic or beaded rope works best. If you cannot afford gym fees or don’t have any place to run near your neighborhood, then you should definitely consider jumping rope.

2) Jumping rope works your entire body

Not only does it exercise your legs, but jumping rope also works on your arms, shoulders and abs. There are many variations from the standard two feet jump that specifically target different body parts, such as criss-crossing to focus on your shoulders and double rotations for your arms. Since it works multiple body parts, it is a great way to tone your body.

3) It improves your hand-eye coordination

Although it seems like an easy enough concept to do – jump over the rope and try not to fall – it does take practice to get a consistent rhythm going. Some are natural and don’t struggle their first time, but most will be tripping and stepping on the rope for a while. But by the time you are able to jump decently, you will have improved your agility and speed. There is a reason boxers jump rope. It helps improve their flexibility and develop speed in their footwork. This is a useful benefit for all athletes.

4) Jumping rope allows you to burn a large amount of calories in a short time

If you are busy, and don’t have the time to run at the gym or park, then jumping intensely for 15 minutes is a great alternative. Since jumping rope requires your whole body, it is much more exhausting than other cardiovascular workouts. Simply try to jump for 15 minutes straight, and you will realize how hard the exercise can be.

5) Portability

Jump ropes are compact and allow you to get a good workout almost anywhere because of their small required space. Treadmills are bulky and anchor you to single spot, forcing you to watch the same view over and over again. It becomes boring fast and is not motivating. While running outside provides you with a change of scenery, it can be challenging to run in winter or bad weather. There is nothing worse than running on a snowy day only to slip on a patch of ice that was hidden underneath. You will appreciate a jump rope’s portability and simplicity much more when you try to keep fit during those long winter days.

Of course, a jump rope is only a tool, and the benefits are dependent on your dedication and conviction to improving your health. That being said, It is one of the best and versatile fitness tools, proving that just because something is simple doesn’t mean it’s not effective.
