 Good morning all, As Marina mentioned, I'm my own guinea pig in an experiment to discern the relationship between what I eat and how I feel with respect to physical power/endurance, GI (gastro-intestinal tract), and emotions. I had read passing stories touting one way of eating over another and wanted to investigate which one(s) actually have a positive impact on me. Read more... -Evan

Since Marina wrote about sodium last week, I thought a nice follow up topic should be about potassium. As runners, we often hear about the importance of getting enough potassium, but what does it really do? Potassium, like sodium, is an electrolyte. Most of us hear about electrolytes in the context of sports drinks, like Gatorade, where they claim to aid in activity and recovery. What exactly is

I wanted to write about this topic, not only because health care is all anyone is talking about lately, but also because BMI seems to be the new “trend” in regulation. Many areas seem to be now using BMI as cut off for numerous things. First, let’s take the example of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania.

To prepare for action, Superman tears off his business suit, revealing the unmistakeable emblem and on his chest, and he is in full spandex gear and cape and ready to fight supervillains.
