Doctor’s advice … eat more color!

Click through to read a great article from Overdrive about the challenges drivers face in eating healthy … and getting enough exercise. As the article points out, it’s not the food so much as the inactivity. Buy a jump rope. Park a long way from the entrance of anywhere you stop. Whatever you do, get with your doctor and develop a plan that’s right for you!

If you’re interested in a healthier paycheck, call us at 800-543-8923, and wherever you’re driving, be SAFE!

Time reports that U.S. retail sales rose a solid 1.1% in February, representing the fastest pace in five months. The retail sales report is the government’s first look each month at consumer spending, which drives about 70 percent of economic activity.

Economists were encouraged by the stronger-than-expected gain in retail sales. Some said the increase means the economy may be growing faster in the January-March quarter than they had forecast.
