Article: These salads demand high-quality, fresh ingredients, so shop at a local market the same day if possible. Tomatoes combine well with many other vegetables; here are a few popular examples: Greek salad: 24 tomatoes (in eighths), 1 large cucumber (sliced thickly), 1 small red onion (sliced thinly). Toss with generous amounts of garlic salad dressing, or a Greek vinaigrette with garlic, oregano, and black pepper. Caprese: thick slices of tomato, each topped with a slice of fresh mozzarella and a basil leaf or three. Drizzle on extra-virgin olive oil just before serving. For an extra-refreshing salad, combine equally sized cubes of tomato and watermelon. Top with black pepper, a little salt, and vinaigrette. Let stand a few minutes before serving. Note If storing tomatoes for more than a day, a cellar or air-conditioned room around 55-70F (1321C) preserves flavor better than the fridge or a warm room. . Coleslaw is another summer appetizer, that pairs well with barbecue and other strong flavors. The heart of a coleslaw is a finely chopped cabbage, usually paired with other crunchy vegetables (shredded carrot is especially popular), sweet flavors (apple, golden raisins), and a binding dressing made from vinegar and mayonnaise or sour cream. Here's a recipe to get you started. . If the weather's cold and you need a hearty dinner appetizer, roast a tray of vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Season with lemon juice and herbs and serve hot. Include a few vegetables that don't normally go into a raw salad, such as potatoes, eggplant, or cauliflower. Remember that different vegetables require different cooking times. This example tells you how to combine potatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Asian and Asian-inspired salads bring many new techniques to the table. The vegetables are often marinated for an hour or more to add an acidic tang, while spicy, salty, and sweet add a great deal of complexity. Here a couple examples: Slice cucumbers and sweet onions very thinly, preferably with a mandoline. Marinate in a homemade Asian dressing, or this sesame lemon dressing. Fumi salad roasts sesame seeds and almonds to add flavor to cabbage and ramen noodles. You can easily turn this into a main course by adding chicken. Add Asian flavors to any vegetable salad with soy ginger dressing or miso dressing. Go easy on these if you aren't used to them. They tend to be more concentrated than Western dressings.

Article: It can be hard to fall asleep at night or to sleep late in the morning if you are not getting adequate physical exercise every day, which exhausts the body and helps you rest more thoroughly at night. If you do not regularly exercise, ease into a regular routine of about 30 minutes of moderate activity a day. This can be as simple as a walk around your neighborhood. In addition to sleeping better, there are so many benefits to regular exercise, including better immunity, emotional health, and self-confidence. Going to bed and rising at the same time every night is actually the best way to feel rested, instead of relying on sleeping in to "catch up" on lost sleep throughout the week. Instead of sleeping in on weekends, try going to bed thirty minutes to an hour earlier than your typical bedtime during the week. Then, on weekends, go to bed and rise at the same time as you do during the week. This will add in the needed extra sleep without compromising your sleep schedule. Most adults need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep a night to feel rested and productive; children and teenagers need significantly more (anywhere from 9 to 11 hours). The exact amount varies depending on your body's needs and how active you are throughout the day. Your body's natural circadian rhythm is strongly linked to light: you are naturally wired to be alert in the daytime and to sleep at night, so light contributes to wakefulness and dark contributes to sleepiness. You need to ensure that your daytime environment, whether it's an office or your home, is full of lots of natural light to keep your circadian rhythms in balance. Open up the blinds, take heavy draperies off the windows, and turn on your lamps or other lights in your home during the day. If you can't get a lot of lights in your indoor environment, be sure to spend a lot of time outdoors in natural light. One of the biggest contributing factors to poor sleep quality is high stress levels. Learning coping techniques to lower your stress level can help you sleep better at night, so that you'll feel more rested and won't need to sleep in. Practice positive self-talk. Research has shown that having a good attitude can actually reduce stress levels. You can begin changing your attitude by saying positive things to yourself instead of negative things throughout the day. Instead of thinking about your faults and failings, think about your strong points. Instead of saying to yourself, "I'm bound to fail" or "I always mess up," tell yourself "I can do this," and "I can handle this." Find a creative outlet like painting, sports, music, or cooking. Expressing yourself creatively can reduce your stress and help you find pleasure in life. Learn to relax. There are many ways to relax throughout the day and before bed; try meditation, yoga, or tai chi to see what works for you.
