You work out. You watch what you eat. But you don’t want to have to prepare every meal at home for the sake of your health—nor should you have to. We surveyed chain restaurants and found 10 surprisingly healthy standouts. Hit our top 10 for whole foods, good-for-you fats, even green vegetables on—gasp!—the children’s menu. Read on for the winners, great fast-food options, plus, how to eat out without gaining a pound.If you’re like us, you eat out more than ever—and, as nice as it is to not have to cook, those meals out can actually feel like work. How do you navigate the minefields of huge portions, hidden fats, and sky-high sodium levels?

You shouldn’t have to resign yourself to paying for restaurant meals with a future cardiac workup. You just need to know where to go to find healthy, fresh food. To that end, we went out into the world of sit-down restaurants, looking to separate the (whole) wheat from the chaff.

Backed by an advisory panel of experts in healthy dining (see Meet Our Experts, we sifted through 43 chains with more than 75 locations across the country and, frankly, were astonished by how many restaurants made no nutritional information available. But judge we did (see How We Ranked the Restaurants), those brave (and progressive) enough to share their numbers. What you hold in your hands are the 10 that stood at the top of the heap.

New Zealand is probably the most dramatic place on earth with natural beauty difficult to believe. Many people are drawn to the Land of the Long White Cloud by her scenic splendor. New Zealand, the real New Zealand, is much more than glistening peaks, serene lakes and boiling mud—it is a people, a culture, a way of life. The unique blend of Maori, Pacific Islander, Pakeha (European descendant) and other nationalities gives a heritage that is rich and varied. It is about the length of the Mississippi River and the width of California. (more…)

We all know the risks involved in skiing and snowboarding – and without that element of danger it wouldn’t be so much fun! Even if you have been lucky enough not to have had an accident so far on the slopes you are bound to have witnessed one – and seen the piste rescue teams in action. So if you’re off to the slopes there’s one thing you don’t want to be without – travel insurance.

Because of the type of injuries that occur on the slope bills for medical treatment can easily run into thousands of pounds very quickly – and without insurance it will be down to you to pay the bill.

And while we recommend having an E111 – don’t rely on it. While it will help with medical bills it won’t cover things like unused equipment and lift pass days and there won’t be a helpline on hand to support you during your treatment or organise things like your repatriation home.

While our winter sports cover is cheap – it’s highly comprehensive. Unlike many providers we cover off piste skiing and snowboarding automatically – and you don’t even need to be with a guide.

We provide a 24 hour emergency helpline. Plus you’ll be covered for piste rescue, personal liability, piste closure, ski packs, medical expenses and much more. And if your taking your family away then you’ll be pleased to hear that our winter sports cover includes under 18’s for FREE.

Would annual cover be better for you?
If you take more than one holiday – especially if holidays include a winter sports break and a relaxing summer break – then annual cover should work out cheaper and more convenient for you.
