With a teenage boy in our house it is very, very difficult to eat less meat
We do not eat processed foods at home, never did as I have always cooked from scratch, but we are guilty of stopping for a burger when on the road etc…

I grew up in Europe so it is very natural for me to shop for food daily and cook dinner according to what looked best at the market. I miss farmers markets, open here only from mid July through September and are very, very minute.

Going back to the original question. DH started running over a year ago. He runs daily, or almost daily, about 15 minutes , usually in the morning. He was always skinny, with fabulous metabolism but as a result of running he has lost about 10 pounds and looks really good and fit. He did have borderline BP before, now back to nice and low. But the biggest benefit of his running routine is the fact that he did not catch a cold or anything this past year! Everybody in the house have been down with something this past winter, but not him. Running/exercise is a huge stress reliever.
