    Live Well Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Try different herbs and spices if you do not have basil. Fresh mint from a garden would add great flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Cantaloupe is full of vitamin C, which is great for your immune system. Watermelon also works great instead of cantaloupe!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Olive oil is a great source of healthy fats, but you could also try using avocado oil or sunflower oil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n
