Health and Diet
Don't drain that water! It can contain a good source of B vitamins! Steaming or microwaving vegetables is one of the best ways to retain the water-soluble B-complex and C vitamins. These preparation methods require very little liquid so fewer vitamins are leached out during the cooking process. If you boil vegetables, save the water for another part of the recipe... you'll save the leached out nutrients.
Fitness
Start slow and listen to your body and your doctor. For moderate endurance exercise, simply walk a little further each time you exercise and gradually increase the pace of your walks as the weeks pass. To increase the intensity of a strength exercise, stick with the weight you usually lift but increase the number of intervals. Before beginning an aggressive exercise program, you should see your doctor or an exercise professional for screening tests and program advice.
