Why we love White Peach, Cucumber, Mint Salad Recipe

Not only is today’s White Peach, Cucumber, Mint Salad Recipe a lovely combination of flavors… it’s also full of health benefits for your body!

  • Cucumbers- good sources of fiber, particularly in the skin. They also provide potassium and magnesium. The AHA also recommend reducing sodium and increasing potassium intake to help prevent high blood pressure. The cucurbitacins in cucumber may also help prevent atheroslcerosis.
  • Limes- are a good source of magnesium and potassium, which promote heart health. Potassium can naturally lower blood pressure and improve blood circulation, which reduces your risk of a heart attack and stroke. Research is ongoing on lime compounds called limonins that may be able to reduce cholesterol levels.
  • Fresh Peaches- a moderate source of antioxidants and vitamin C which is required for the building of connective tissue inside the human body. Consumption of foods that are rich in vitamin C helps a person develop resistance against infections and helps to eliminate harmful free radicals that cause certain cancers.
  • Mint- is a particularly good source of vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin that is critical for eye health and night vision. It is also a potent source of antioxidants, especially when compared to other herbs and spices.

Fit Friday with Nichole

 The sun is shining and my running shoes are calling my name! Many of you know that I teach a treadmill class at the local rec center where I live. For those of you that don’t know what that means; treadmill classes are like spin classes but running instead of cycling. 

I love treadmill classes because 1) it is a guaranteed sweat-fest  2) it is a fun way to get some speed work in  3) I get to run with friends no matter what their pace is and 4) it is fun! 

This week I wanted to share one of my favorite treadmill classes with you. But before I share the workout let’s talk about some basics. 

Base Pace; this is a pace that you could easily maintain for an hour. I also like to think of it as my long run pace. My base pace fluctuates depending on goals and what I am currently working towards. When I am actively marathon training my base pace is generally a bit faster. But after marathon I will bring that base down for a bit and slowly work my way back up.

Speed;  this will go off of your base pace.  So if the drill is +5 that means 5 speed taps up from your base pace. Example; if my base is 7.0 then +5 would take me to 7.5

Incline; unless otherwise noted I always stick with whole numbers for the incline, even though most treadmills go up by halfs.

Recovery; after drills you will see recovery time. Use it! You can walk, jog, or even slow run if you are feeling it. The key is that you shouldn’t just be standing there.

Warm Up and Cool Down; these are both a must. Warm up should entail at least a mile, 2 miles is even better. And cool down should be another 5-10 minutes, at least.
