In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share Dr Fitness’ favorite pasta salad recipe. Dr Fitness loves pasta salad. He usually makes a whole bunch of pasta once and then uses it several times during the week in a variety of meals. For his pasta salad he mixes it with spinach, tomatoes, peas, and nuts then adds a healthy dressing over it. This recipe can be customized to only the foods and dressings you like. But watch the portion size – calories from the pasta and the dressing can add up fast – so go heavy on the veggies and light everything else. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how too many anti oxidant supplements might be bad for you. There is some growing evidence that anti-oxidants in capsule form might impair muscle function over time. Ingesting lots of anti-oxidants might throw off the balance between the pro-oxidants in your body and cause problems. The research only looked at anti-oxidant supplements that might suppress some good stuff in your blood. So be on the safe side and eat more anti-oxidant rich foods rather than take supplements for them. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
