Quinoa Salad Recipe

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share a favorite quinoa salad recipe. Quinoa is a grain (kind of like couscous) that the Inca’s from Peru and the Andes Mountain region used to love. It is a very good protein for a grain. Sometimes it is hard to find in traditional grocery stores but you can usually get it in Whole Foods – I’ve seen it at Costco. To make this salad you cook up a cup then add your favorite chopped up vegetables like, onions, cucumbers, basil. toss in some pine nuts for a crunch. then you can make a healthy dressing from extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic and lemon. mix together and eat up.

A real big, long term study from the American Cancer Society has shown that people who sit for 6 or more hours each day are at a higher risk of premature death. That is even if they exercise. So it is important to get up throughout the day and walk around. Get a treadmill for your office and walk at a slow pace. Stand more. Whenever you are on the phone get up and pace around the room.
