Get healthy this spring by trying these eco-friendly tips!

>> Buy organic [0] kale — or grow your own! Eco-nonprofit Environmental Working Group’s updated Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides [1] added kale to its list of “Dirty Dozen” fruits and veggies that have the most pesticide residue on them. On the bright side, the “Cleanest 12″ list has been expanded into the “Cleanest 15″ in this edition! Perhaps more farmers are using fewer pesticides?

>> Get out of traffic [2]. A study finds that “being in a traffic jam — whether in a car, on a bike, or on a bus — can triple a person’s chance of having a heart attack.” And apparently women are weaker of heart in traffic! If gridlock’s unavoidable during rush hour in your hood, consider getting heart healthy by changing your hours or telecommuting more frequently.

>> Combine working with working out. Can’t tear yourself away from the computer? Here are 10 ways to get fit WHILE blogging [3] — from RSS Raises to the Twitter Tummy Tone. True, this health tip isn’t particularly environmentally-oriented — but you can make sure that your computer settings are energy optimized before starting your workout!
