Giving the Gift of Health: Healthy Lessons We Taught Our Moms

"It took a couple of quarters at college to realize that my mom didn't really eat vegetables . . . some lettuce, maybe. But I grew up in the Midwest where cottage cheese atop canned pears or peaches was considered a 'salad.' I have had the distinct pleasure of introducing broccoli, brussels sprouts, kale, and sweet potatoes to my mom. The trick was teaching her how to prepare them — no boiling! Every time she visits, I try a new superfood on her. She liked the quinoa but really loved the farro." — Susi May, senior director, Fitness (Susi's two daughters and Susi's mom, the new vegetable lover, above)
