Summer salad with watermelon, mango, lime and mint

One of my girlfriends made a version of this at a recent BBQ and it was the perfect summer side dish! You can also experiment with jicama, or cucumbers to add a little more crunch.

Here’s the basic recipe:

Two cups of watermelon, 1 inch cubes
One small Mango, chopped
small handfull of fresh mint, chopped or torn
juice of one lime
salt and pepper
one small chopped jalepeno

Toss everything together and refrigerate for one hour. Enjoy!

Can Exercise Reduce Anxiety?

While short 10 to 15 minute bouts of exercise can improve your fitness and your mood, a total of 30 minutes of exercise a day is recommended.  This week try taking the stairs at work, or parking your car a few blacks away from your destination.  What are your favorite tips for adding more movement into your day?
