Helpful Health Links
Posted 12/04/2008 @ 1 :20 PM

Fitness and nutrition advice is everywhere, and with good reason. We all want to be healthy. To help you pick through the maelstrom of health info online, here are three regular Web features that I’ve found helpful.

Picture_3_21. Men’s Health lists
The Men’s Health motto, “Tons of Useful Stuff,” comes through in its lists, which boil down health and lifestyle issues into easy-to-decipher tidbits. Men’s Health has made them a linchpin of its operation. Aside from the entertaining “10 Ways to be Her Best Lover Ever” staples, the lists provide advice nutrition, strength and conditioning, and health in general. And many of them apply to both men and women, like “10 Ways to Stick to Your Workout” and “The 10 Best Things You Aren’t Eating.”


Picture_7_52. New York Times “Recipes for Health”
Sweet potatoes, beets, swiss chard: You know they’re good for you, but do you know multiple ways to prepare them so they taste good? If not, check out “Recipes for Health” from the New York Times. Each week, the Times spotlights a healthy food and supplies readers with five fairly easy recipes, from old basics to interesting new ideas, so you’ll never get bored. The photographs of the dishes add to their appeal. It’s a great reminder that eating healthy isn't hard if you plan ahead, and that cooking can be simple and fun.


Picture_5_23. LA Times "Good Form"
Proper form is essential to get the most out of any exercise and to avoid injury. So check out “Good Form” from the LA Times, which has clear, concise descriptions of exercises along with photos to illustrate them. It shows you the right form for common exercises and gives you ideas for new moves you may not have tried, from strength training to stretching to yoga. It’s a great way to ward off workout fatigue.

Thanks for the links! I am a 40 year old Dad that tries to watch what he is doing so that I can keep playing tennis. Take care.
