Is Technology Robbing our Kids of Good Health?
Today's kids are technologically smarter than we were at their
age, but in some homes technology seems to have taken control of
our children's lives. Many parents don't realize the underlying
effect it's having on their children's health.
Hardly a day goes by that we don't hear a news report on
childhood obesity. With our children coming home from school,
sitting in front of the computer or spending time playing video
games it's no wonder obesity is...

As a former NCAA Division 1 Athlete, I have parents ask me quite
often what their son or daughter needs to do in order to make it
to the highest level of college athletics.
First, mom and dad need to know where they fit in the equation
to success. Parents cannot be the primary motivator. If a kid is
not self-motivated to be on the field or in the gym early and
often, I would say he does not have what it takes. No matter how
hard a parent pushes, kids will ultimately change only if their
heart i...

Powders, liquids or pills cannot substitute for solid food and
yield permanent, healthful results (if God had meant us to live
on supplements, we would have been born with a blender in our
mouths instead of teeth). A balanced diet should consist of 2500
to 3000 calories a day (more depending on athletic activities)
split up into proper proportions of protein (23 to 30%), fat (20
to 25%) and carbohydrates (45 to 55%). Note, that while the
"zone" diet, recommending 30% protein, 30% fat and 40%

GOLO GOLF GRUB Fuel for the golfer.
'A good diet can not make an average athlete great, but a poor
diet can make a great athlete average.' -David Costill, Ball
State University, Indiana
Golf is a lifetime sport that both men and women of all ages
enjoy participating in. However, for the competitive golfer, it
is a test of the athlete's physical and mental endurance. While

BASIC WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
The perfect diet should be combined with a healthy weight
management or activity program. Weight management may conjure up
that dreaded "exercise" word. And exercise to some means pushing
the body beyond limits, experiencing painful in joints, muscles,
bones - everywhere. No pain no gain, right? Wrong. Instead,
replace the word "exercise" with "activity" and incorporate this
in your daily routine. And a general rule of thumb for
guidelines about "activity" would be to st...

It's no wonder so many people of all ages are turning to
dancing. It kills two birds with one stone: it's a great way to
meet members of the opposite sex and new friends, and it offers
exercise, one of the antidotes to depression with or without
therapy, with or without medication.
If you know you should be exercising more and just can't drag
yourself out of bed an hour earlier in the morning to go jogging
in the freezing cold, or can't find tennis and racquetball
partners, dancing's an option y...
