Health Tips

As a new subscriber for Men's Health magazine, they threw in a free gift. Welcome to the Big Black Book of Secrets: The Guy Guide to Male Wisdom.

There are a few truly guy-angled articles within, but plenty of additional advice for anyone. Here are a couple that I liked:

- If you're trying to add some muscle, eat some protein within an hour of your workout.
- Try a high-fiber pre-meal workout in order to burn more fat. In the morning, Bran Flakes is a good option - 20% daily fiber.
- Potassium appears to be good at staving off the effects of muscle weakening through age.
- Milk chocolate, with its mix of protein and antioxidants, appears to be more beneficial than other sweets at preserving memory.
