Eliza Collins (aka the clean green girl) lives clean and green [photo credit: Alexa Jay Photography<\/a>]<\/figcaption><\/figure>It\u2019s that time of year\u2026 when we spring clean our lives! Yes, you can do the requisite juice cleanse, but that\u2019s just the tip of the melting iceberg. For more healthy ways to ring in Spring, I went to Eliza Collins (aka the clean green girl). Her blog, Live Clean and Prosper<\/a>, shares her health, happy living tips for a clean life \u2013 and she\u2019s here to share her insights with us\u2026<\/p>\n

5 ways we can stay clean and green by Eliza Collins<\/b>
\nSpring is quickly approaching! Birds are chirping, the sun is shining, flowers are blooming… Ok, so not much has changed in terms of weather here in Arizona. We\u2019re lucky enough to experience those things year round. But just because the weather goes from hot to hotter doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t prepare ourselves for the season ahead. I use Spring as an excuse to eat healthy foods, get outside more and give my usual fitness routine a bit of sprucing up \u2013 and anyone can do the same. Here are 5 ways we can stay clean and green for spring this year!<\/p>\n

1. Mix up your workout <\/b>– Exercise should never be boring! Try checking out different studios or training with friends. I\u2019ll do yoga on a Thursday and then try a CrossFit class on a Friday to challenge my body and mind. Or book a buddy for a partner workout and try something new together. You\u2019ll stay interested and your body will see great results!<\/p>\n

2. Get outside and play like a kid<\/b> – Being outside can boost your mood and get you some health-boosting vitamin D! So why not go for a hike, run with the dog, play Frisbee or join a run club? I love hiking Camelback this time of year. It\u2019s the perfect way to get a great workout while enjoying the beautiful Arizona landscape.<\/p>\n

3. Eat in-season foods <\/b>– I always head out to the Old Town farmers market on Saturday mornings to pickup a batch of local produce. They have a great selection! It\u2019s not only cheaper to buy local produce, it tastes way better too!<\/p>\n

4. Take care of your skin<\/b> – Taking care of your skin is crazy important, especially in Arizona where there\u2019s no escape from the hot blazing sun. When heading outside, throw on a fashionable hat and some SPF. I wear face moisturizer with SPF 15 everyday so I can keep my skin clear and protected.<\/p>\n

5. Stay hydrated<\/b> – We naturally lose water when we sweat, so I try to replenish with 64 ounces of H2O a day. Also, investing in a stainless steel water bottle will keep your water colder for longer, so when you\u2019re out running errands you\u2019ll stay hydrated and feeling good.<\/p>\n
