  Speaker 4: So these are all just different activities that can kind

  Speaker 4: first recommendation is to land some outdoor activities.

  Speaker 2: Oh okay, like frisbee and wait yea, walking the door again.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: And gardening and just anything that you can do to
• 0:52

• 0:55
  Speaker 4: So where your sunscreen or your rain jacket, whatever's required on.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, I have a question because I always have this
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: wrestle with myself thing about sun protection because I know
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I need the vitamin D. I know that's good, yes,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: but you're supposed to put sunscreen on. Is there a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: good balance to be had there?
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, this one is really tricky, and you know there's
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: You're going to hear a lot of arguments honestly on
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: both extremes, and I generally land somewhere in the middle
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: where you know, I will give myself a little bit
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: of sun exposure with less sun protection, and then I'll
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: get my hat or my sunscreen or whatever on. So
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: for me, I don't burn, so I have a little
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: bit more leeway. But generally fifteen minutes is kind of
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: like a safe Okay, depending on how sunny it is
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: and your skin.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I've got the solution. Slather yourself up with all the
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: sunscreen you want and drink a lot of milk. It
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: has vitamin D.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Eat it does, it does.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's not a seasonal food. So we're gonna
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: move on to seasonal food.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Okay, yes, seasonal food, So eating your local produce, fruits, vegetables.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: You can check out your local market generally doing the spring.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: There's things like leafy greens and strawberries, maybe some fresh citrus.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Just try and get lots of colors on your plate.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I forbid you to eat an apple until September.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not wrong, but.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: No apples until September. Late August. I had some peanut
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: butter waiting for it. I'm sorry. Oh no, you're gonna
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: have to put it off. Put that peanut butter on.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: It, eat it with kale or something. All right, what's next, Oh,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: next is do some spring cleaning. And it doesn't mean
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: that you have to deep clean your entire house, but
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: just choose one small area that you can, you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: maybe dust a little bit more, or get rid of
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: some clutter, donate some things that you're not using. Cleaning
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: up our space can help us to reduce stress and
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: improve our mood. And so I personally don't feel like
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: it's very fun, but I also recognize that there's benefit
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: to it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: There was a big thing up on campus or University
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: of Utah. Uh huh this way where you take all
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: your old electronics.

• 3:44
  Speaker 3: my wife took a bunch of stuff up there.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: What's next, Yeah, next is to set some new goals
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: or reevaluate your new Year's resolutions. Spring is actually a
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: really great time to kind of get that energy going
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: back up again. Since everything is blooming and it's a
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: time of renewal. A lot of times we do have
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: a little bit more energy for setting new goals as

  Speaker 4: about our water.

• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Next is to find ways to connect with your community.

  Speaker 4: A lot of times folks are outside more so you
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: might see your neighbor mowing their lawn or setting up

• 4:51
  Speaker 4: over the fence, set up a play date for the kids,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: just do something to connect a little bit more with
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: the people who live near you.
