There’s no reason you can’t eat well while you travel! Plan your meals they way you would plan your wardrobe or
loding: go online to find local eateries and menus, pack healthful snacks or schedule a supermarket trip when you arrive at your destination. Then come up with a plan for how you will fit healthful meals into your itinerary. If you’re planning an upcoming vacation or business trip, take time to consider your meals. Having an idea of what’s available will help you feel in control and reduce your chances of overdoing it. If you’re looking for sustainable food on the road, check out the Eat Well Guide.

Dairy Queen has been a landmark in Decatur and on many days people stood in line to get ice cream, sat out front or crossed the street to play in the Magnolia Tree. Keep your eyes on this corner as it takes a new life in the great history of Decatur. Pictures taken by Gregory White this morning before some of the demolition took place.

Eating large amounts of red and processed meat (like bacon, deli meats, and hot dogs) has been linked to an increase in colon, rectal and prostate cancer.
Excessive meat consumption can also lead to other preventable diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease and stroke. This week, start of with a Meatless Monday. See if you can swap red and processed meats for leaner sources of protein like beans, lentils or tofu.

Nic Wilson, former Decatur Active Living participant and Decatur High School Student is having success in the classroom and on the baseball diamong. After his three-home run game Sunday, Georgia State’s Nic Wilson was named Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week for the second time this season.
Wilson, the senior from Decatur tied the school and Sun Belt Conference single-game record with three round-trippers to lead GSU to a 15-10, series-clinching win over South Alabama.
He now has 16 home runs on the season to rank third in the nation, trailing only A. J. Reed of Kentucky (20) and Brandon Thomasson of Tennessee Tech (17).
Wilson homered in three consecutive at-bats with a solo homer to right center in the fourth inning, a two-run blast to center in the sixth that put the Panthers ahead for good and another two-run bomb to left in the seventh.
For the week, Wilson hit .308 (4-13) with a 1.077 slugging percentage. He had three homers, a double and five RBI’s in three games. Wilson first earned the Louisville Slugger award on March 17 after hitting .579 (11-19) with five homers and 15 RBI’s in five games.
Wilson and the Panthers play their final home game Wednesday, hosting Kennesaw State at 6pm at the GSU Baseball Complex. Congratulations to Nic Wilson and he started playing at Oakhurst Park several years ago in the Decatur Active Living Youth Baseball Program.
