SPRINGDALE, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Many people set goals to improve their well-being in the new year. Tyson

Ready® fully cooked chicken and beef products, is helping people do
just that with a few simple steps through its new “Just Add This” program.
The program encourages people to make small adjustments to existing
routines to form new habits that lead to a better, more healthful
lifestyle. Now, through March anyone can join the “Just Add This” program

recipes and good-for-you prizes.

The premise of the “Just Add This” program is simple – just add a
better-for-you ingredient, like Tyson® Grilled & Ready®
chicken, to a favorite salad or just add a 10 minute power walk to a
daily routine and be on the way to a better lifestyle. The program
offers guidance and tools to make smarter eating choices and identify
ways to squeeze in some exercise, even for those people with busy
schedules. When visiting the program tab, people will find simple tips,
delicious recipes made with 100 percent natural Grilled & Ready chicken
– most under 500 calories – and they can enter to win weekly prize
giveaways, including a Trek® Women's Road Bike, Lululemon® gift card,
Kindle FireTM Tablet and more.
To show just how easy it is to make improvements to a daily routine,
Tyson Foods has partnered with the experts at Fitness magazine.
It’s not about making drastic changes; it’s all about making small
adjustments, such as:
-
To power through a workout, just add super-motivating music to a
playlist and crank it up during the last part of the session, which
tends to be the most tiring. Music can increase the intensity of
exercise, and at the same time decrease how difficult it feels.
-
To shop smarter at the supermarket, just add a healthy snack like a
piece of string cheese and an apple before hitting the store. Hungry
shoppers buy 45 percent more high-calorie foods than shoppers who
aren't hungry.
“Helping people reinforce changes they make in January to become long
term habits is our goal; so we decided to run this program for three
months instead of one month, as we’ve done in previous years,” said Dan
Uskert, product manager for Tyson Foods. “We all have busy
schedules that can make it difficult to eat well. By incorporating
better food choices, such as 97 percent fat-free Grilled & Ready
chicken, people can make effortless, healthy meals at home, even when
pressed for time.”
With this program Tyson Foods is also giving consumers an opportunity to
share how they’ve been making smarter food choices in 2014. It is
inviting people to submit a recipe that they improved by just adding Grilled
& Ready chicken - or by taking an existing recipe that is made
with Grilled & Ready chicken and adding a good-for-you
ingredient. Submissions will be accepted through the program’s Facebook
page between February 17 and March 17, 2014. One winner will receive an
all-expense-paid weekend getaway to a Taste of Home Cooking School where
they will be given the opportunity to demonstrate their recipes to other
cooks.
