Daily Tips: Tuesday June 21, 2005

Health and Diet
Did you know that too little potassium in the diet can lead to high blood pressure? Good sources are fruits (such as bananas, watermelon and raisins), veggies (such as potatoes, spinach and broccoli), legumes, milk and yogurt. The Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences has estimated the minimum requirements for potassium for men and women over 18 years of age to be 2,000 milligrams per day.

Fitness
Cardiovascular conditioning can help burn additional fat. Although we cant control where the fat cells swell and shrink, ultimately the fat cells in the abdominal region will begin to decrease in size when a caloric deficit is created through a combination of eating a little less and burning additional calories with cardio.
