Miss Nichole from Pure Clean Fitness is here to hang out with us. I love having her visit and inspire our fitness! A Healthy Recipe, Pork Loin Cabbage Bowl with Papaya Slaw from me + Fit Tips Air Pollution from Nichole = a healthy, happy, and balanced life!

The Pork Loin Cabbage Bowl with Papaya Slaw reminded my daughter of one of her favorite foods.. lettuce wraps from P.F. Chang’s China Bistro. If you love lettuce wraps, you are bound to love these!

I shared this Pork Loin Cabbage Bowl with Papaya Slaw with her last week and she couldn’t get over the amazing flavors in the pork loin and the papaya slaw! She found it to be the perfect combination and I hope that you do too!

Pork Loin Cabbage Bowl with Papaya Slaw uses a recipe I shared not too long ago… Papaya Pineapple Slaw It’s the perfect way to top off this Pork Loin Cabbage Bowl! It is quite tasty with fresh papaya, pineapple, red onion, green peppers, cilantro, and finely shredded green cabbage!

Fit Friday is all about breathing and air today. If you don’t live in the Westerner states you may not be struggling with some of this crazy air that we are, instead you may be dealing with crazy wind and lots of rain. I guess we all have our problems right now. Where I live we are dealing with hazy skies and shallow breathing. The smoke from fires has ruined my crisp air and pretty mountain views. But along with the loss of my views I have also found myself studying the air quality reports and debating heading out for runs.

Today’s fit tips come from a few different clinics and pulmonary specialists as a reminder that there are days the treadmill isn’t so bad.

Health problems caused by air pollution:

Headaches
Irritation of the eyes, nose and throat
Damage to airways of the lungs
Increased risk of asthma development
Worsening of existing asthma or other lung conditions
Increased risk of heart attacks and strokes
Increased risk of death from lung cancer and cardiovascular disease

So if you are one of the lucky ones to be stuck on the treadmill this weekend mix it up and make it fun.

Watch a great movie, my favorite treadmill movie is Footloose. Dancing and music, you can’t go wrong. I also love intense movies that I can get lost in.

Do a speed for hill workout. Constant change helps keep it a little fresher and a little bit more fun.

Lastly, go to a gym with some awesome people watching!

Be safe. Be healthy. Be fit.

Pork Loin Cabbage Bowl with Papaya Slaw is a healthy meal for any day full of the perfect combination of fresh flavors!

Happy Fit Friday!

Much Love and Peace~
