If you find that your nose runs when you exercise, you're not alone. The condition is called exercise-induced rhinitis, and it's actually pretty common among athletes. I know it sounds strange, but for some people, working out can trigger congestion, sinus pain, runny nose, headaches, itchy eyes, asthma, hives, and in rare cases, even anaphylaxis. Exercise itself can be the sole trigger, but sometimes it's the combination of exercise plus another trigger such as pollen or cold weather that produces symptoms.

Elastic waist bands and big shirts are comfy, but they cover up your body and allow you to forget what you look like or what your weight loss goals are. They also encourage lounging around on the couch for hours. So when you get home from work and want to slip out of your business attire, opt for clothes that are slightly fitted. I'm not saying they have to be skin tight. They can still be comfortable, but not slouchy. Fitted shirts and pants made out of cotton or some other flexible material will give you a sense of your body image so you're not hiding behind your clothes. They may also inspire you to do something active.
DrSugar is in the house and answering your questions.
Hi DrSugar,
I was hoping you could help me with some questions. I am an avid runner and was recently informed that I have tendinitis in both my Achilles tendon as well as in a tendon on the top of my foot (I don't remember which one). Basically, my MD told me there's nothing he can do to help them heal, but I could try wearing a walking cast that only "might" help. I really miss running so I'm in the process of trying to find another doc that will try to help me. Do you know of anything that can help, or can you just give me some info on Achilles tendinitis?
Thanks, — Pain in the Heel

There has been a lot of Halloween talk at my house lately. However, there is one tradition I am trying to hold off on — buying the candy.
Even though I know that mini treats often lead to over indulgence, I often cave in to temptation. The candy calls to me from the pantry and I end up eating a good sized portion of the miniatures before a single trick-or-treater knocks on my door. Not good.
This year, I have decided to play it safe. If the candy is not in my house, I cannot eat it. I think I can make it through one night with the sweets in my house, so I will be buying my Halloween candy on Oct. 30. Unless you have an iron clad will, I suggest you do the same.
