“Going green” doesn’t just have to mean buying reusable shopping bags and turning out the lights when you leave a room. Interest in a new green activity is growing, and this one involves having a green thumb: community gardening. More than 18,000 community gardens have popped up across the country, and the number is increasing rapidly. The gardens are becoming so popular because of the benefits they have in communities where they are planted. Community gardens educate people about healthy eating, they provide convenient and inexpensive access to nutritious food, they offer the opportunity for exercise by working in the garden, and they beautify the communities in which they’re planted.

| | | | | Making sense of the hydration hype for improved performance
In Waterlogged: The Serious Problem of Overhydration in Endurance Sports, Dr. Tim Noakes examines widely applied hydration prescriptions for athletes and scrutinizes claims of the sports drink industry that run counter to years of scientific study and can result in the increased incidence of exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH), a condition caused by abnormal fluid retention in those who overdrink during extended exercise. Waterlogged describes the mechanisms of hyponatremia and includes up-to-date hydration guidelines to help improve athletic performance, safeguard endurance athletes from EAH, and replace the general “drink until you can’t take another sip” practices that prevail today.
