SAVE WATER

Before Running: 1. If you eat a large meal before a run, wait at least three hours before you head out. Almost nothing you eat immediately before a run will digest enough to give you energy during your run. If you do have to eat, choose something your system can easily absorb, such as a banana, a few spoonfuls of peanut butter or honey, or a handful of dried fruit. 2. Drink at least 8 oz. of water a half hour before heading out to prevent dehydration. If you're going for longer than a 10K, you might consider taking a water bottle or planning a route that has a water stop along the way. Staying hydrated will keep your legs from cramping, especially in hot weather. 3. You may be tempted to do intense stretching to get warmed up, but try Chi Running Body Looseners instead. Ankle rolls, hip rotations, and knee circles are a few gentle exercises you can do to get your body loose and relaxed without straining cold muscles and joints. See the Chi Running book or DVD for a detailed...

Children are less bothered by the cold and more excited about the prospects of getting out there and making the most of snow, rain, and even hail. Winter's weather excites children and enthuses them to make snow angels, sled down hills, and to learn to ski, skate, and snowboard. Follow their lead and become reinvigorated by the fun promised by winter exercising and outdoor play. 2 Realize the health benefits of exercising during winter.

Getting out and about gives you a chance to breathe fresh air, to see new and varied sights (beats  cabin fever ), and gives you a sound mind and body workout. If you suffer from  Seasonal Affective Disorder  (SAD), getting outside and exercising will help to reduce the symptoms by introducing more daylight to you...

Tips to fight disease and strengthen immunity On the whole, your immune system does a remarkable job of defending you against disease-causing microorganisms. But sometimes it fails: A germ invades successfully and makes you sick. Is it possible to intervene in this process and make your immune system stronger? What if you improve your diet? Take certain vitamins or herbal preparations? Make other lifestyle changes in the hope of producing a near-perfect immune response? What can you do? The idea of boosting your immunity is enticing, but the ability to do so has proved elusive for several reasons. The immune system is precisely that — a system, not a single entity. To function well, it requires balance and harmony. There is still much that researchers don't know about the intricacies and interconnectedness of the immune response. For now, there are no scientifically proven direct links between lifestyle and enhanced immune function. But that doesn't mean the effects o...
