I promise that it IS possible to keep those “eat healthy” New Year’s Resolutions even while on vacation! After you’ve been bicycling down the beach and taking tours of beautiful downtown Miami, it’s time to grab something to eat!

Filling yourself up with natural and tasty food is easy in a place like Miami, famous for their beaches and fresh fare. Maria over at Miami Beach 411 has put together a wonderfully comprehensive guide to What Everybody Ought to Know About Healthy Eating in Miami Beach. Defining healthy food as, “food that is served as fresh and wholesome as possible, with the highest nutritional value, whether it cater to vegans, vegetarians or omnivores,” this guide offers something for everyone!

Washington Avenue offers choices from delicious fruit and fresh-squeezed juices at Fernandez Fruit Market to late-night pitas at the Pita Pit, while you can pick up snacks for the beach at Apple a Day, Epicure, and Smoothie King.

If you’d like a sit-down meal, check out The Gourmet Carrot for vegan soups and sandwiches or Nexxt Cafe for cocktails and super-generous portions. Maria ends her article with a personal favorite, Oasis, serving up the best in Mediterranean and healthy American fare.

Bon appetit!

    Keeping your body healthy by eating nutritious foods as well as keeping with healthy lifestyle will make your day colorful and happy. Being able to get the healthiest of groceries, however, can be a real struggle, and during the holidays when delicious, chocolate treats and things like eggnog and candy canes abound, and budgets are tight, makes it even harder. Holidays are also a time for fashion, since clothes are always a popular gift item, and a lot of people like to get things for the lovely ladies in their lives things from Victoria’s Secret. (Although, the revealing nature of their clothing suggests that Victoria may not have too many secrets left.) In the hustle and bustle of today’s world, it is very hard for working people to find the time to stay in good shape. It makes you feel good to look good, that’s for sure, but the sheer amount of maintenance necessary is hard to maintain. If you have a full workday, it gets difficult to summon the motivation to get off the couch after you get home to go to the gym, or for a run, and those membership fees along with grocery bills for the extra healthy stuff can add up in a hurry. Real health problems can get even more costly. Doctor’s visits, regular checkups, seeing a specialist such as a podiatrist, cardiologist or orthopedist are even more expensive, and costs can add into the thousands, even if you have insurance. Staying healthy and watching your intake may not make you a supermodel, but they are good for you, and they do cost more than living off of Chef Boyardee. Payday loans can help you with any bill that comes up last minute, such as groceries or any emergency that comes up between paydays.
