Dear friends,

The first month of the new year is all about setting goals and mapping out a way to reach them, but as we move into February, it’s important to start evaluating what’s been working and what needs adjusting.

This week we’re focusing on easy ways to measure your health. Make sure you’re getting the right amount of nightly shuteye with our three proven ways to get more sleep; keep your heart health in mind by committing every day to 30 minutes of low-intensity movement; and guarantee your diet is packed with protein by using our plant-based protein guide and collection of bean, lentil, and pea recipes. This Monday, make sure to measure to stay on track.

Count Steps Until You Hit Your Monday Mile

Walking is something many of us do every day, several times a day. When it’s done for more than 30 minutes a day, it can be a great exercise for people at almost any level of fitness.

Here's why just 30 minutes of walking a day can make a difference.

Count on Pulses to Help You Meet Your Protein Goals

Pulses are one of the healthiest categories of plant-based ingredients you can find. They are naturally low in fat and sodium, contain no cholesterol, and are great sources of protein, iron, potassium, and fiber. But pulses are also good for the world, serving as an affordable source of protein and nutrients with a low carbon footprint.

Check out our list of pulse-forward recipes, and start experimenting with this incredibly versatile and nutritious plant-based ingredient.
