Nutrition, Diet, & Fitness

I want to live to be 100. In order to do that, I know I need to keep my body in good shape and eat well. Below are some sites I like to visit that help me do that.

Mayo Clinic: Create your own personal page and get articles relevant to you.

Nutrition Action Healthletter: I like to read the "Brand Name Rating" sections. No advertising and no pop-ups.

The Diet Detective: Blog-style site with good information about nutrition and diet. Heavy advertising and no pop-ups.

The World's Healthiest Foods: Can view foods by nutrient ranking, which is my favorite. Also has receipes and good information about how to eat healthy. No advertising and no pop-ups.

The Glycemic Index: The glycemic index ranks carbohydrates according to their effect on our blood glucose levels. Site created by the University of Sydney, Australia. No advertising and no pop-ups.

Nutrition Information Services: This site lists nutrition information for the menus of many fast food restaurants. Minimal advertising and no pop-ups.

The Diet Channel: Reviews all the diets out there - and there are a ton! Also provides great information about health and nutrition.

Yoga Journal: Excerpt from an article of yoga poses to lengthen the spine.

Sit & Get Fit: I don't know about you, but my job has me sitting around all day. This article from the Well and Healthy Woman magazine page has some exercises I can do in my chair.

My Daily Yoga: Yoga moves you can do at your desk. Minimal advertising and no pop-ups.
