• Realize how much sitting you do. Sitting for eight hours at your job has negative effects on your body, but going home and sitting on the couch for the rest of the night doubles those effects, increasing cause for concern. If you have a sedentary job, make a point of taking a walk when you get home or spend some time on your feet with your kids or at the gym. Keeping active during breaks and on the weekends will help combat negative effects from the workweek.
HEART HEALTH— SKIP THE SUGAR!
Heart disease is the number-one killer of all Americans, but awareness of the disease and its causes has allowed for a decrease in the number of deaths associated with it in recent years. Eating well and exercising are obvious ways to prevent the onset of heart disease, but a recent study by the Journal of the American College of Cardiology looks at another culprit that has damaging effects on your heart: sugar( fructose). According to the study, one to two servings of sugary drinks per day raises a person’ s risk of heart disease by 35 percent. It is important to be cognizant of sugar intake, as it can often sneak into your diet unnoticed. Men should only consume about 37.5 grams of added sugar( think coffee drinks, sodas, yeast breads, cereals, fruit drinks) per day, while women should stay around 25 grams. Starting out the day with a latte, frozen beverage, or soda could add anywhere from 20 to 63 grams of sugar in just 12 ounces! Make sure to stop and think before you consume added sugar for the sake of your heart health, because sugar isn’ t as sweet as it seems.

BEST FOOT FORWARD
After hours of physical abuse from constant pounding and tapping, your feet deserve a break! Feet take a constant beating every day, and we often blame foot pain on a long day on our feet or shoes with poor support. Foot pain may be caused by other problems in your body that shouldn’ t be ignored.
Keep tabs on your feet by:
• examining your feet regularly
• wearing comfortable shoes that fit properly and offer plenty of support
• keeping your toenails trimmed straight across
• allowing your feet to air out after being in shoes
Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing:
• joint stiffness
• tingling or numbness
• swelling
• discoloration or bruising
• inability or limiting of physical tasks due to foot pain. ■
