| Today's workout is a 45-minute walk. You may have a go-to podcast or playlist to entertain you on longer walks, but a new trend may have you considering walking in silence. "Silent walking" is about clearing one's mind and going for a walk alone, free of distractions — a practice that Buddhism teaches can transform exercise into a session of personal meditation. "Silent walking is an easy way to disconnect from all the noise and chaos that is part of our busy world," clinical psychologist Juanita Guerra says. "It's an excellent way to connect to our core selves." While the idea of walking without distractions may sound appealing, Guerra warns it's easier said than done. "Practicing silent walking can prove to be challenging, given that we live in an overstimulating world," she says. 4 tips for getting the most out of your silent walk. |

Zucchini has impressive health benefits— and it's a chameleon in the kitchen |
The body is made up of about 60% water, and taking in plenty of fluids throughout the day is vital for health. While drinking water frequently is one of the most important aspects of hydration, eating foods with water also contributes to overall hydration levels. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends consuming 20% of your fluid needs through foods, and zucchini is made up of 95% water. Cooking it removes some of the water, so the best way to keep all the hydration in is to eat it raw. Shave a few slices of zucchini into your salad or add some zucchini slices to your smoothie for a hydrating boost. Not only will eating zucchini aid in hydration, but it's packed with electrolytes and antioxidants like potassium, vitamin C and folate. Try these 7 simple and healthy zucchini recipes. |
