7 TIPS FOR A HEALTHY YOU

Physical therapy treatments can help improve your health, but they only work if you apply healthy lifestyle choices in your everyday life, as well. Some tips you can do on your own to become healthier, stronger, and more active include: 1. Taking care of aches and pains. Don’t let these long-term problems linger. Contact Priority PT for professional help. 2. Limiting your sitting. Get up every 30 minutes to walk around at work and home. 3. Getting out and moving. Exercise regularly, even if it’s just taking a short walk every day. 4. Maintaining a nutritious diet and controlling portion. Make sure your food intake is nutritious and portioned. By chewing your food thoroughly, you won’t feel as if you have to eat as much. 5. Drinking more water. Water keeps your body systems functioning at an optimum level. 6. Breathing! Work on your deep breathing in order to increase your oxygen intake and get your lymphatic system moving. 7 . Getting enough sleep. Sleep at least 8 hours a day. It is best to get into a routine where you are going to bed and waking up on a regular cycle. This helps your endocrine system.

ENJOY THIS HEALTHY RECIPE

Mini Feta &Potato Frittatas

INGREDIENTS • 2 ½ tsp coriander seeds • 2 tsp dried minced or sliced garlic • 2 tsp dried oregano • ¾ tsp freshly grated nutmeg

• ½ tsp Aleppo pepper • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1/2-inch-thick slices • 3 cups baby arugula • 8 large eggs • ½ cup heavy cream • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese

• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped • 1 cup diced Yukon Gold potato • ½ tsp kosher salt, divided • 1 medium zucchini, cut into

INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat six 6-ounce ovenproof ramekins with cooking spray and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Finely grind coriander and garlic in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a bowl and stir in oregano, nutmeg and Aleppo. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, potato, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon of the spice blend. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned around the edges, about 7 minutes. Add zucchini, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon of the spice blend; cook, stirring often, until lightly browned but still firm, 5 to 6 minutes. Add arugula and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk eggs in a large bowl until blended. Whisk in cream and the remaining spice blend. Divide the vegetable mixture and half of the feta among the prepared ramekins. Pour in the egg mixture and top with the remaining feta. Bake until the frittatas are just set in the center, about 25 minutes.
