PAUSE FOR PREVENTION // Food Swaps Good for You and the Earth
We just can’t get enough of Earth Week, and for this Wednesday’s Pause for Prevention we want to highlight 6 easy food swaps that are good for you AND good for the earth!
TASTY TUESDAYS // Lentil Harvest Salad
So let’s talk about lentils.
Not only are they D E L I S H, but with their nutty flavor and hearty texture, fiber-filled lentils are an easy way to boost the health benefits of this simple grilled salad. Along with fiber, lentils also offer a generous helping of folate and magnesium – all nutrients that promote heart health. Whether you serve this dish as a main course or as a complement, you’re guaranteed to be all nourished up.
EARTH DAY // HEALTHY EARTH, HEALTHY YOU
Happy Earth Day friends! Always remember to take time to enjoy and care for what the Earth offers us, all a reflection of ourselves!
SHRED THE LOVE // SUGAR BOWL
This year, Lake Tahoe did Shred the Love in a big way! Being the 6th annual Shred the Love at Sugar Bowl, we decided to expand the series throughout Lake Tahoe by having five events in 7 days. The events, including rail jams, yoga sessions, skate and BMX sessions and more all promoted a healthy active lifestyle, focusing on the mind, body and soul as the best prevention.
COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT // Thank You UCLA Snow Team
We want to extend a shout out of THANKS to the UCLA Snow Team for hosting their annual B4BC fundraiser earlier this week in Westwood, CA. This year’s event marked a decade of support from the Bruin Shredders, with current members & alumni coming out in full force to support B4BC!
