How to combat the springtime sneezes and sniffles naturally - 75 words

It's sniffle season again. Start smart by eating less processed foods and more vegetables. * Cook with olive or cod liver oil and get in a healthy dose of fresh garlic or ginger. Evergreen Herbal Market recommends Vitamin C, Echinacea, Throb Eaz, and its most popular allergen preventative, Hay Asz, a blend of seven herbs that increases tissue resistance. Also recommended: Allergena, a homeopathic formula made to combat the specific grasses, weeds and seeds of Albuquerque.

[possible additions: (*)And don't cut out fats altogether. The body needs three tablespoons of good oils per day.]

 

No More Crunches!

Spot toning gives way to whole-body health - 100 words

Resistance training is essential, but it's only part of whole-body health. Fitness begins with nutrition. Albuquerque personal trainer Dwain Kindelberger encourages people to "eat clean and energize." Weight loss as a solitary goal is often misguided. Because muscle is denser than fat, physical training can result in a weight gain despite lost body fat. Consulting a personal trainer is a good idea when fitness planning since everyone's needs are different. In general, preface the weights with a cardiovascular warm-up and stretching. Eat right, set goals, and remember that what's in the mirror is more important than the numbers on the scale.

[possible additions: Kindelberger goes by the 4-fold mandate of inspiration, education, motivation and regulation.]
