Sue Falsone: The Dodgers’ head trainer talks health and energy

Southern California has so much to offer — hiking, surfing and playing on the beach are just a few of the ways we can stay in shape, enjoy the great weather and avoid being cooped up in the gym. The abundance of locally grown fruits and vegetables sold at the many farmers’ and organic markets makes it easy to enjoy nutrient-rich meals while minimizing our consumption of processed foods. Our skin begins to glow and our hair begins to shine. Thus begins a beautiful cycle of health. When we choose raw foods instead of the processed variety, we get more energy. More energy allows us to get outside to absorb vitamin D from the sun – giving us even more energy. It’s this energy that allows us to hike and surf and play, enjoying all that Southern California has to offer.
