I'm always on the lookout for new energy bars to fuel my workouts, and when I spotted Peak Bar at Walgreens, I was especially intrigued. The store was selling two flavors — Peaches & Blueberries and Chocolate Brownie — in the Women's Health line, which is described as "bakery style." Hoping it might taste something like a muffin, I bought the Peaches & Blueberries.

Hey Fit,
I had post-work appetizers and drinks with a girlfriend last night, and as we departed she said she was heading to the gym. Granted, we each had two light beers over maybe an hour and 20 minutes, but it surprised me that she'd go work out after a couple drinks. She said she doesn't do it all the time, but if she's not feeling too tipsy it actually helps her kind of zone out and get into her workout, and by the time she's finished any possible buzz is gone.

Drug Warning
Chemotherapy can cause anemia, a drop in red blood cell (hemoglobin) levels. Erythropoiesis-stimulating drugs, which boost the production of red blood cells, are administered to counteract this complication. However, these drugs, which include epoietin alfa (Epogen, Procrit) and darbepoietin alfa (Aranesp), can also cause serious side effects and adversely affect survival when hemoglobin levels are raised too high.

The trend now is to get a more personal touch out of a gym membership.
