Health and Diet
Fight flab with fiber.
Research shows that the average American eats only 10 to 15 grams of fiber daily, far less fiber than the recommended 25 to 30 grams a day. The benefits of fiber include a healthier digestive system and a lowered cholesterol level. The best sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, whole grain foods, beans and legumes.

Fitness
If you’re not up to running, take up race walking to burn calories, trim inches from your waist and pump up your calves. Race walking causes considerably less impact to your ankles, knees, lower back, shoulders and neck than running. It’s less jiggle and more wiggle.
