What Heather's Eating Herbed-Goat Cheese Baguette Slices If you're short on time, you can buy herbed goat cheese in the store, but the flavor of fresh parsley and rosemary in this homemade version is hard to beat. Get recipe»

Dear ##firstname[Friend]##,

If you could change one thing about your daily or weekly routine, what would it be? Before you answer that (and we do hope to hear from you), consider how the smallest changes can affect your long-term health. For example: Switching to whole grain bread, brown rice and whole grain cereal could lower your risk for diabetes by up to 33 percent, according to German scientists. Another study at Harvard Medical School found that men who ate fish five times a week or more had a 40 percent lower risk of developing colorectal cancer compared to those who ate fish less than once a week. Other research showed that light exercise twice a week could cut the risk of Alzheimer's in half.

For me, that change is all about more variety—I tend to eat the same fruits and veggies. With that in mind, I signed up for a CSA, and I have no idea what will arrive in my bin later this month.

We want to know how simple swaps in your cooking or simple fitness plans have affected you. Or, if there's something you'd like to change, let us know that, too. Your response could be published in an upcoming feature story.

Heather Ray
