Chef Workout: Counter Shoulder Stretch
I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and like to use those few minutes waiting for water to boil and veggies to steam by doing this stretch. It targets the shoulders, lats (sides of your upper back), hamstrings, and your lower back. It's a good one and is a great break while cooking dinner.
A Must Have: The CalorieKing Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter
I have seen a lot of calorie counter books. Usually they give you a good idea of what could be in foods you are eating, but they are never too accurate or familiar with all brands.

Get in Gear: Cal-Carb Clicker
Now I thought I've seen every gadget on the market to help you lose weight, but here's another one. It's called the Cal-Carb Clicker. Catchy name, huh?
Walking is Grrrrrrrreat!
It's a great idea for anyone of any age to start making sure they are moving enough in a single day. A good way to do that is to track the actual steps you take in a day with a pedometer. The current recommended amounts are: 10,000 steps for active adults, 6-12 year old girls need 12,000 steps and 6-12 year old boys need 15,000 steps.
Common Painkillers Linked to High Blood Pressure
It's been recently reported that if you are frequently popping over-the-counter pain meds, you should know that they can raise your blood pressure, which in turn can lead to heart disease.
Although men were the subject of this recent study, it confirms earlier research conducted on the effects of OTC pain medication on women's blood pressure.
The medications studied are staples in your medicine cabinet like aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
