Walking - Fueling Nutrition Tips!

Today I want to share my four secret suggestions to help you fuel your walking workouts. Once you add these foods to your workout plan, you will feel energized and boosted, and look and feel amazing all day long! Give them a try!

Dark Leafy Greens. Dark leafy greens offer vitamins, fiber, minerals, antioxidants and more, so be sure to pick up some kale, spinach and arugula at your farmer's market or grocery store this week!

Berries. An excellent source of antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, berries are my go-to fruit! They help reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and support the immune system, gut health and brain function. I have plenty of recipes featuring berries in my Denise Austin Membership, including my Blueberry Banana Smoothie, Fruity Yogurt Parfaits, Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie and more!

Avocados. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, avocados give your skin moisture and elasticity, and can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, and scars, too... they are a true skin-glowing food! Avocados are also filled with healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals - I use them on my Spicy Egg Toast recipe in my Membership!

Healthy Proteins. Think chicken breast, turkey and salmon if you eat meat, or beans and soy if you don't. Protein has so many health benefits, from helping to grow and repair muscle (so important as we get older), supporting immune health, and even promoting healthy skin, hair and nails! I made sure my Denise Austin Meal Plan gives you all the protein you need! From Curried Chicken Salad and Maple-Glazed Salmon to my daughter Katie's Creamy White Bean and Kale Potato Soup, you get your protein, fiber and variety to keep you on a healthy, fueling path!!

I hope these fueling food ideas help you boost your energy and feel amazing as you begin your walking workout journey!!
