Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
The athlete's foot fungus loves warm moist
environments. You may reduce the risk of this
bothersome problem by washing and drying your
feet thoroughly each day, paying special attention
to drying between toes. Wear clean socks daily
and wear shoes that are well -ventilated. If you use public pools or
showers, wear sandals to protect your feet from infection.
Trying to keep your salt intake down? Eat a variety of fresh
vegetables. Dried or frozen types are also low in salt. Canned
vegetables generally are higher in salt. Become a good label reader.
Check for "Sodium" content of all prepared foods you buy.
Recommended daily consumption is between 1.5 and 2.4 grams of
sodium.
As we age, we can lose up to 40 per cent of our muscle mass. This
condition is called sarcopenia. It results in a feeling of weakness in the
legs making even climbing a flight of stairs a chore. This condition is
becoming as prevalent with muscles as osteoporosis is with bones. It's
a good reason to keep physically active throughout life.
You hear a lot of talk of the importance of waist size. Where do you
measure your waist for an accurate measurement? The tape should
rest just above the belly button not where your belt sits.
