What to Order This Week: Wendy's
Wendy's may have updated their logo, but that's not the only change this fast food restaurant chain has made. The brand once best-known for their square burgers has gone fresh and healthy, lightening up their menus with new salad entrees and delicious, multigrain flatbreads. Oh, did you know that Wendy's also launched a new mobile app? It also has new menu innovations including the addition of premium salad entrees and fresh flatbreads. Plus, Wendy's mobile nutrition app (available at the iTunes store and Google Play) makes it easier than ever to personalize your meal based on your desired number of calories -- regardless of whether you want a Frosty or a Hamburger Jr. But, I'm inclined to recommend some of the freshest, newest meals on Wendy's menu.
Apple Pecan Chicken Salad: A blend of fresh lettuce and spring mix salad greens, topped with real blue cheese crumbles, U.S. grown, hand-picked Granny Smith and sweet red apple pieces, roasted pecans, cayenne pepper, dried Ocean Spray cranberries and warm grilled chicken. This salad comes with all natural dressing, and it's entree-sized portion comes in at 570 calories and provides a whopping 37 grams of protein and 6 grams of filling fiber.Berry Almond Chicken Salad: Featuring fresh summer produce, Wendy's Berry Almond Chicken Salad -- which won't be in stores till June and will only be around for the season -- is packed with plump, tangy blueberries and hand-cut California strawberries atop a blend of 11 kinds of field greens. A warm grilled chicken breast, shredded Asiago cheese and California almonds roasted with sea salt round out this robust salad. It's topped with a fat-free raspberry vinaigrette dressing. An entree-sized portion of this flavorful salad supplies three servings of vegetables and one serving of fruit and has 360 calories, while a half-size portion provides two servings of vegetables and a half serving of fruit at 230 calories (but both counts are without dressing).Smoky Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken Flatbread: Grilled, all-white meat chicken breast, spring mix, tomatoes and smoky honey mustard sauce are all wrapped up in a five-grain toasted flatbread makes for an amazing sammy. This flatbread is full of flavor yet comes in at just 370 calories and provides 22 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber. (Confession: It was also the office's favorite.)What's your favorite thing to order at Wendy's? Tweet me at @sarahjaneRD and @SELFMagazine!

Tummy Time and Infant Development
What is tummy time and why is it important to your infant's development? Our experts weigh in.
During tummy time, your baby lays on her belly to play while you supervise. Since your baby sleeps on her back to help prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), she needs to spend some of her awake time on her stomach to develop physically and mentally.
On her tummy, your baby lifts her head, which strengthens her neck and upper back muscles.
Being able to move her head reduces your baby’s risk of SIDS because she can move away from anything smothering her. Strong muscles let your baby roll over, sit, and crawl.
Tummy time also gives your little one a different view of the world.
Babies need to learn how to support their heads when they are still, says Tanya Altmann, MD, a pediatrician in California. “They also need to be able to turn their head in response to what's happening around them and hold their heads steady when they're moved."
Spending time on her stomach also helps your baby's head become round instead of developing flat spots on the back of her head.
Tummy time can begin right after birth, says Chris Tolcher, MD, FAAP, a pediatrician in California, or definitely by the time your baby is a month old.
For the first few weeks, you may want to delay tummy time until her umbilical cord stump falls off. As long as your baby is comfortable, though, you can safely let her play on her stomach right away.
You may be surprised to see that “even a newborn can start to turn [her] head side to side," says Laura Jana, MD, a Nebraska pediatrician.
Remember: Never let your baby sleep on her tummy, because even one time increases her risk of SIDS. When you put your baby on her tummy, always place her on a smooth, flat surface with no loose items (toys, blankets, pillows) close to her, which might block her airway, Tolcher says.
Some pediatricians suggest having your baby play on her stomach five or 10 minutes a couple times a day. Others say you don't have to worry about a set amount of time. There’s no set guideline.
"I usually recommend starting to offer tummy time at least once per day," says Scott Cohen, MD, FAAP, an attending pediatrician at Cedars Sinai Medical Center. He suggests leaving your baby on her tummy as long as she accepts it -- whether that’s 15 seconds or 15 minutes.
It's time to pick your baby up if she starts crying or fussing.
Some babies initially resist tummy time because they don't have good control and find it hard to lift their heads. But the more practice your baby gets, the better she’ll like it, says Cohen, who is also the author of Eat, Sleep, Poop.

Motorcycle Deaths Continue to Climb: Report
WEDNESDAY, April 24 (HealthDay News) -- An estimated 5,000 motorcyclists were killed on U.S. roads in 2012, an increase of about 9 percent from the previous year, a new report shows.
Last year's number of motorcyclist deaths is near an all-time high, and motorcyclists remain one of the few roadway user groups where no progress has been seen over the past decade, the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) report noted.
"In my state [Oregon], an improving economy and a longer window of nice weather meant there were more riders and riding days. The fatality increase is disheartening. Every motorcyclist deserves to arrive at their destination safely. These numbers represent real people -- they are family, friends and neighbors," Troy Costales, GHSA's immediate past chairman and head of Oregon's highway safety program, said in a GHSA news release.
The projected number of motorcyclist deaths for 2012 is based on state-by-state data for the first nine months of the year. Similar projections in previous years mirrored the final numbers.
Comparing the first nine months of 2011 and 2012, the report found that motorcyclist deaths increased in 34 states last year, decreased in 16 states and remained the same in the District of Columbia. Increases were seen in every region of the country and were quite high in many states. For example, motorcyclist deaths rose 32 percent in Oregon and 29 percent in Indiana.
With the economy improving, more people have disposable income for buying and riding motorcycles, the report noted. At the same time, high gas prices lead to more people buying fuel-efficient vehicles such as motorcycles.
The report also found a decrease in the number of states with laws that require all riders to wear helmets. That number is currently 19, down from 26 in 1997.
"All of the trends with motorcyclist deaths are really going in the wrong direction. This report is an urgent reminder that we must do more to address a problem that will only get worse with increased ridership. We are talking about 5,000 tragedies a year with no sign of progress," GHSA chairman Kendell Poole, director of Tennessee's highway safety program, said in the news release.
"The good news is that we know how to prevent crashes and the resulting injuries and fatalities involving motorcycle riders and their passengers. There are effective strategies that, when implemented, can make a difference," he added.
The report outlined a number of ways to reduce motorcyclist deaths. These include: increasing helmet use; reducing speeding and impaired riding; providing rider training to all who need or want it; ensuring proper licensing of riders; and encouraging all drivers to share the road with motorcyclists.
