Exercise:
Even a Few
Minutes Matter
By Charles Platkin, PhD, MPH
Y
es, it really can help to
exercise for even a
few minutes at a time,
as long as they add up to at
least 30 minutes per day, say
researchers at Oregon State University. In fact, the
researchers concluded that these short bouts can be
just as beneficial as longer bouts of physical exercise
achieved by a trip to the gym. This is important be-
cause most people report lack of time as the single most
important reason they don't exercise. The study also
looked at everyday activities such as raking leaves, and
found they also contribute to overall health. So don't
think if you miss your gym workout today you might as
well not exercise at all -- every little bit counts.
Brown Butter & Dill
Brussels Sprouts
Ingredients
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and
quartered
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
3 Tbsp slivered almonds, toasted (see tips)
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill or 1 Tbsp dried
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
Instructions
1. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large
saucepan fitted with a steamer basket.
Add Brussels Sprouts, cover and steam
until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small skillet
over medium heat. Cook, swirling often,
until the butter turns a nutty brown, 1 to 3
minutes. Stir in oil and scrape into a large
bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the Brus-
sels sprouts, almonds, vinegar, dill, salt
and pepper and toss to combine.
Tips & Notes
To toast slivered almonds, place in a
small dry skillet and cook over me-
dium-low heat, stirring constantly, until
fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4
minutes.
