Some Websites I Like (and Trust)
First, let me say that there are a lot of very questionable (and potentially dangerous) websites, and if you wind up making bad choices, you can hurt (or perhaps even kill) yourself. These sites are from sources that I believe to be reliable and I am not being paid to recommend them, so my recommendations are based strictly on my belief that they spread good and reliable information.
First, a couple of health related sites that make radio programs available in mp3 format. You can download these programs and play them back from a CD or mp3 player in your car, while you exercise, etc. They are:
www.drmirkin.com - the website of Dr. Gabe Mirkin, he has over 200 "hours" (actually about 35 minutes each with commercials removed) of his show (which went off the air in December 2003) posted to his website. While some of the information is dated, much still applies and it's very good info. Mirkin is a former national class runner and is today at nearly 70 a serious bicyclist. He often has his wife, Diana, a nutritionist, on the show to discuss food and eating issues.
www.cooperaerobics.com - this is Dr. Kenneth Cooper's website. While Cooper may not be a name you recognize, you probably recognize the word "aerobics", which Cooper coined. He's been an authority on exercise and medicine for almost 40 years. He puts the last several weeks of his show on the website, and in many parts of the country, you can listen to him on Saturdays on the radio.
You may not realize it, but the government has a big vested interest in keeping you healthy. With their various programs, they often wind up paying a portion of (if not all) medical bills for many in our population. As a result, they have created some very good websites. One of the best for weight loss is: www.smallstep.gov - it's a site that tells you how to lose weight by making little changes that will with consistent application lead to big improvements in your weight and health. For general health information, the National Institutes of Health's website at www.nih.gov and its subsidiary sites are great resources.
These 4 sites should keep you busy for a while. I'll be posting more soon.

he Glycemic Index (GI) is a measure of the amount and the rate of increase in blood sugar after eating a carbohydrate. This is also known as the glycemic load. The higher the GI, the larger the rise in blood sugar and the release of insulin. This is important because the more insulin in your system, the more fat you retain.
A calorie ratio of 40 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent proteins, and 30 percent fat minimizes your glycemic load (insulin) and thus the fat you retain. This balance also provides the three key macro nutrients needed to keep a body in hormonal balance.
