Health and Diet
Hold the MSG.
Monosodium glutamate, or MSG, is a flavor enhancer that adds a meaty or broth-like flavor to certain foods. Some individuals are sensitive to this enhancer. Limit your intake by asking for meals prepared without MSG and checking the ingredient list on food labels. MSG has less sodium than salt, but it should still be avoided.

Fitness
Athletes and individuals who engage in cross training experience less risk of injury because the muscles are not subjected to the same action and stress on the joints that occur from repetitive movements of a single activity. Cross training provides conditioning for core muscles and secondary muscles in different workouts. These workouts prevent injury because the body is able to respond to a variety of movements.
