Now that you've read the benefits of strength training, hopefully you've decided to incorporate lifting weights into your workout, if you don't already.

Instead take the time to figure out how much you should be lifting with these guidelines: Pick a weight that you can lift 10-12 times without straining.Healthy Carrot Soufflé
When my sister moved to Georgia a few years ago, I had the chance to spend Thanksgiving with her. Amongst all the dishes on the table was a Southern staple that I thought about for months after coming home — brown sugar and maple glazed carrots.

The problem is that this dish is usually overloaded with tons of butter and cream, which can be a big problem if you're trying to stay healthy.

Another Plastic Health Risk — Erectile Dysfunction
While there have been previous studies, linking bisphenol A (BPA), found in hard plastics, to health problems, including precancerous tumors, prostate cancer, and brain damage, a new study, conducted in China, substantiates its claims with results in humans. In one of the first studies of its kind to be conducted on humans, researchers are finding that much of what they've previously seen in animal studies holds true — men exposed to significant amounts of BPA are at greater risk of sexual health problems.
The study compared the levels of sexual dysfunction in two groups of male factory workers — one group, which was exposed to high levels of BPA, while the other was not.
Exercise, Weight Loss, and the Fat Burning Zone
Much has been made of late about exercise and its relation to weight loss. There was the Time cover story The Myth About Weight Loss and a recent article on the topic in the New York Times, which recommended working out in the fat burning zone.
