Research shows that high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, kidney disease and some forms of cancer are all linked to a high sodium diet. Did you know that a high sodium diet may also contribute to osteoporosis? To limit sodium, avoid fast food and canned foods, and use spices and flavors instead of salt.

Training for a marathon? Strength training is very beneficial to endurance athletes. If you look at today’s Olympic marathoners compared to those 20 and 30 years ago, you will notice today’s runners are much more muscular. Strength training should be done in cycles with the heaviest resistance training coming after the marathon season and then tapering off as the season approaches."
