AntiOxidants. Can Too Much Of A Good Thing Harm You?

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.

How To Prevent Treadmill Injuries

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain some of the hidden danger related to your treadmill. As more and more treadmills are showing up in homes more and more kids (and adults) are getting injured on them. About 25,000 kids are injured on home exercise equipment each year. A good thing to do is give your child a safety lesson on proper treadmill use and try and be in the same room as he/she uses the treadmill in case something does happen. Always use the wristband cut off switch and don’t do tricks like walking on it backwards or spinning around on it like the OKGO music video. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Grocery Store Chicken Safety Tips

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how to pick out and cook chicken in a safer manner. Consumer Reports recently said that 2 out 3 chickens they tested were contaminated with some bacteria. They said even organic chickens were contaminated but at a lesser rate. So when you are buying a chicken at the store make sure you put it immediately into one of those plastic bags to prevent any bacteria from moving from the chicken onto any of your other food items, especially unbagged veggies and fruits. Also make sure the bag your chicken is in is sealed properly . Also it is probably a good idea to pick out your chicken at the end of your grocery shopping rather than the beginning – so it stays as cool as possible for as long as possible.

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain some basic food safety tips so you can avoid food poisoning. Did you know that most bathrooms are cleaner than most kitchens – how gross is that? Millions of people each year go to the doctor because of a bout of food poisoning and millions more suffer without going to the doctor. Here are some easy tips for you to protect yourself and your family. Red meat shouldn’t be brown until after you cook it. Canned foods should be dented or have bulges. Bleach is your friend – use it on cutting boards, plastic drinking containers and kitchen counters. Buy a thermometer for your refrigerator and make sure it doesn’t dip below 40 degrees F. Foods in your freezer should be rock hard – not slushy. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
