Sorting Out the Supplements

You'll find guidance on which claims about supplements to swallow in this month's main article, "Vitamin and Mineral Supplements: Nutritional Insurance or Unnecessary Overload?"."

This issue’s Fitness Minute would probably make your mother happy: it offers simple ways to improve your posture. And the trainer answers questions about using exercise to protect against osteoporosis and whether it’s safe to drink coffee before working out.

Thanks for subscribing!
