We all want to start our days on the right foot, and prioritizing a well-balanced breakfast is a great way to make sure you have energy all day! Our residents have access to healthy breakfasts every day of the week, but for our friends at home, one easy way to add a nutritious punch to your morning meal is by adding spinach to a simple scramble.
It is extremely easy to make for yourself or a loved one if you’re short on time in the morning. Simply heat up a nonstick pan, add your eggs, some spinach, and a little of your favorite seasoning (we love everything bagel seasoning)! Turn the eggs occasionally to cook them through, and you're ready to eat.
If you have more time, you can add cheese or avocados too!

There are plenty of ways to make exercising enjoyable! We recommend using music. Moving your body is easy when you find something to dance to!
Having a consistent beat and tempo also helps to promote cognitive function and stimulation. Grab some light weights for an added challenge!
What is your favorite type of music to work out to?
