Tips for the Week:

• Boost your fiber intake by making half your grains whole grains. Substitute refined grains for whole grains by choosing brown rice, oatmeal, whole oats, and whole wheat. Don't be fooled by words such as "multigrain" or "stone-ground," as these usually are not whole-grain products.
• For more information about the health benefits of fiber—and tips for how to incorporate fiber into your healthy lifestyle—check out the National Fiber Council website.
• Spending time at a computer—both at home and at work—can lead to muscle tension and soreness. Here are some easy, discreet stretches you can try several times throughout the day if these are problems for you.
• Roll your neck. Tilt your head gently to the left, bringing your ear toward your shoulder; stretch, and hold 10 seconds. Repeat with the right side. Then tuck your chin and pull it down to your chest, hold, and then turn your head slowly to the right to look over your shoulder; hold and turn back slowly to the center. Repeat, turning to the left.
• Shrug your shoulders and reach! Raise your shoulders upward and hold and then let them drop down and relax. Then, lace your fingers together and turn your palms away from you. Straighten your arms and reach upward over your head and slightly back as far as you can to increase the stretch.
