Everyone is trying to incorporate more protein without adding too much fat to their diets, but even the biggest chicken-lover sometimes wants an alternative. 

Here are some ways to think outside the chicken box this summer.

Cornish game hens are a fun alternative to chicken, especially for parties, since everyone gets their own personal bird. 

Most preparations call for baking the hens, which weigh around two pounds each, in the oven, but you can also butterfly and grill or pan fry the birds. Just cut the backbone out of the hens using a knife or kitchen scissors and press it flat. 

Children are naturally curious, energetic and care-free, and while these things can benefit them greatly throughout their development, they also open up your children to problems. 

Kids aren't born knowing what's best for themselves. They have to learn, for instance, that washing their hands is necessary to keep themselves and others from getting sick. As their parent, it's up to you to provide this guidance. 

For those who are looking to change up their exercise routine, swimming is an ideal option that offers a number of health benefits when you want to stay active. 

Instead of spending hours on the elliptical machine or trying to run a few miles each day to stay healthy, swimming makes for an ideal cardio workout for all ages. 

When you're considering taking a dip in the water, there are a few reasons to enjoy the activity and practice the sport.
