Protein Zaps Belly Fat
In a sedentary, over-fed, yet undernourished society, the dissolution of abdominal fat with a magic bullet is an incessant quest. First, we cut out the junk food.

Bromine Bullies Iodine
When life gets comfortable, humans have a tendency to take things for granted. “Ooh, yeah, I travel this route every day, so I know that light will change in about three more seconds. Oops! Not that time.” “There’s hardly any traffic on my street, so I don’t have to look both ways before crossing.” Mostly. “That agency would never allow this stuff in our food.” Maybe.

Enhancing The Worst
It’s bad enough when the junk in (or on) your food harms you—you know, the preservatives, the agricultural sprays, the stuff in there that you can’t begin to pronounce, the coloring agents, and whatever—but this is getting ridiculous.

How about the nondescript notion that something is amiss, but you can’t quite put your finger on it, and it’s not sufficiently debilitating to see the doctor?

Off-Season Fitness
The off-season is the time for a well-deserved break, yet it might be viewed as a chance to get ready for next season. As each day passes you’ll lose the fitness that you worked so hard to get if you fail to do something to keep it. There’s no need to go to extremes, though.

Are New Blood Vessels A Good Thing?
Angiogenesis is the creation of new blood vessels, a process that occurs in both health and disease. When new tissue is formed, as in the healing of a wound or the creation of the placenta, blood vessel formation must occur as well.

Exercise And The Common Cold
Some things never come our way, no matter how hard we try. Wouldn’t it be really cool if you could win the trillion dollar lottery at least once? Or maybe twice?
