We are only weeks away from summer, and we understand that living a healthy life can be a bit complex when we don't have much time to attend the gym or eat low-fat foods. Laura Posada, Wonderful Pistachios’ Health Ambassador, does not believe in excuses and assures that we can always take a moment for ourselves during the course of the day. Therefore, she shared with Latin Times exclusively, exercises that can be done perfectly at home.

After Laura's demonstration, we put everything we learned into practice and combined it with a Miami-inspired workout party session at 305 Fitness. In a judge free zone, all the assistants sweat the stress out dancing the hottest music with fun movements in a unique atmosphere.

Having food, beverages and specialized products to keep your lifestyle healthy is not difficult if you have the disposition. Find below a list of key foods and products created especially for people who enjoy physical activities and want to maintain a good figure.

  • Pistachios are a Heart-Healthy snack:

A serving and a half of nuts per day, such as pistachios, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol is a heart-healthy snack. You get three times the amount of fiber and protein per serving, plus you can enjoy 49 pieces per serving compared to just 15 potato chips. For an afternoon treat, pair in-shell pistachios with hummus and your favorite dipper (pita chips, veggie sticks), and fresh fruit for the perfect healthy snack anytime of the day.

Satisfy cravings for something savory and crunchy without comprising your healthy eating goals. Pistachios offer a good source of protein and fiber and may help you “fool yourself full” since the shells may offer a visual cue about how much has been eaten. Pair Wonderful Pistachios with a few pieces of dark chocolate and cherries for an indulgent (yet healthy) pairing.
