SmartyPants Vitamins

In case you haven’t heard us shouting from the rooftops, we’ve just launched two new gummy vitamins: SmartyPants Men’s Complete and Women’s Complete, which are packed with antioxidants, including vitamin A, C, E, CoQ10, lycopene, selenium, and zinc. The antioxidant beta-carotene, which is found in orange and yellow foods such as sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash, is actually enhanced by moderate heat, so your best bet is to roast or cook these veggies low and slow.

Recently, I have discovered that Barilla makes a veggie and a protein pasta (in yellow boxes, not their typical blue), and Flatout has a Red Pepper Hummus ProteinUP flatbread. If your child decides to give up meat and become a vegetarian – for whatever reason – do support their decision, but explain that they are going to have to tweak their diet and get more adventurous at the kitchen table to ensure they are a healthy vegetarian. Start with my #1 tip for children who want to become vegetarians: roasted red pepper hummus, a crudité of crunchy, farm-fresh veggies, triangles of soft pita, and go from there!

Don’t shower on the days you don’t work out. If it’s something interesting, I’ll ask them about it, maybe join in or do the new exercises on my own. I’m sure I wouldn’t have done nearly as well on race day. The day after a good workout, your body may hurt, but you feel somehow refreshed.
