I've been with 'Days of Our Lives' for 21 years, and I've decided this year is going to be my last year.

I have encouraged my kids to eat well from day one. I add flavor - herbs and spices - to everything because I don't want them getting used to starchy, bland food.

I battled with my weight as a teenager, partly because there wasn't the information or conversation about how to live a healthy lifestyle.

What's wrong with extreme dieting and hard-core fitness plans is that they don't take into account the rest of your life.

I recommend that people try new stuff or take new fitness classes all the time. It's important to mix up your routine, not only for your body, but also for your mental state.

I cook at home all the time and really enjoy it. It's fun family time and we all chip in and help out. We do a lot with our outdoor grill, a lot of chicken or shrimp, and every meal includes veggies.

I love fresh vegetables and we always include them in our meals. I don't force my kids to eat asparagus, but they do eat peas, broccoli, and carrots.
