Daily Tips: Wednesday June 8, 2005

Health and Diet
The benefits of water are crystal clear. H2O has no calories, fat or cholesterol. It is also low in sodium! You should consume 64 ounces a day. To liven up your water, add a slice of lemon or a few fresh berries. Remember, thirst may not be the only indication that your body needs more water. So, keep a water bottle with you and make a habit of staying hydrated.

Fitness
Weight training is the key to achieving muscular health. During your strength-training workout, microscopic tears occur within the myofibrils. As these tears repair, the number and size of myofibrils inside the muscle fibers increases. This is the reason that resting days between your workouts are so vital.
