HEALTH TIP
High-fiber diets reduce health risks, including the incidence of certain cancers, obesity and possibly high blood cholesterol. The American Dietetic Association recommends a daily dose of 20 to 35 grams of fiber. Most Americans are eating only 12 to 17 grams of fiber each day. Choose high-fiber whole grains, whole grain breads and legumes, and whole fruit
and vegetables.


FITNESS TIP
Are you effectively hydrating yourself after a workout? You retain 100% of the water you drink from fruit juice, herbal tea and decaffeinated coffee or tea. You retain 50% of the water from caffeinated drinks like coffee and sodas. But 0% of water is retained from alcohol. So forget the post-game beer.
