Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Water works. Water has no calories, vitamins or minerals, but drinking plenty of it can reduce your risk of disease. Drinking more than six glasses of water each day cuts the risk of developing bladder cancer in half. Some evidence suggests that staying well hydrated cuts the risk of colon and breast cancer, and lessens your chances of developing kidney stones -- even if you've already passed one or more. Women should aim for about nine cups of fluids daily. Men should shoot for 12 cups. Eat To Protect Your Eyes. What you eat can go a long way toward protecting your vision as you get older. Focus on foods with natural yellow pigments and those rich in vitamins C and E to keep your vision in top shape. Some of the foods that can make a difference: Leafy green vegetables, corn, egg yolks, kiwi, zucchini, pumpkin, yellow squash, red grapes, peas, green peppers, oranges, peaches, butternut squash, green beans, almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, fortified cereals and avocados. The 100-yard sale. The gym isn't the only place to burn calories; you can find lots of ways to get in shape at the mall, if you know where to look. Start by parking an extra 100 yards away and walking to the mall entrance. Take a few laps around the shopping center when you go window shopping. Bring some friends; you'll have so much fun, you may not even realize how much of a workout you're all getting.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hi Jac, trust me, when you are sitting in your car at your house after going shopping and no part of you wants to get out to bring in all the crap you bought, you will realize what kind of workout you had. LOL. KellyJac Water works. Water has no calories, vitamins or minerals, but drinking plenty of it can reduce your risk of disease.
