Health Tips

 Trying to get your daily fill of fruit? Try dried fruit. Dried fruits contain the same healthful antioxidants, phytochemicals, and fiber that fresh fruits contain.

Just remember that dried fruits pack the same calories into a smaller package than fresh fruits do, so adjust your portions accordingly.

Want to help your body recover from a long, hard workout? Keep on kicking. You may feel like collapsing after some serious cardio work, but your blood lactate levels return to normal more quickly if you follow the hard work with a few minutes of less strenuous activity, rather than stopping activity altogether. Too much blood lactate can cause muscle fatigue and soreness.
