weather, increase your fitness, and reduce your carbon footprint by
hopping on this wonderfully efficient mode of transportation!
* ELIZABETH AND ELIZABETH'S HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK
Got milk? Optimal calcium intake is essential for good bone health.
Although you are in graduate school you may think its too late to do
anything. However, you can still maximize bone growth with
appropriate calcium intake. Male and female 25 years of age, should
be receiving 1000mg of calcium a day! Pregnant? You should aim for
1200 mg per day. Some ideas for calcium rich foods: milk (duh),
yogurt, soy milk, apricots, and rice pudding.
