There was a full tum out for the Sterling Casino Lines
cruise on May 15th. Two large buses were supplied to
transport people from City Hall to Cape Canaveral. Some
of the comments made were; I had a great time! — to —I
will never do that again (sea sick?).
We will be scheduling more events and possibly another
cruise for those who could not attend and those who
would like to go again.
This time it will be on a Saturday afternoon and on the
larger ship.
So stay tuned for further updates.
YOU GOT TO MOVE
How important is exercise in losing weight? A report
from the International Food Information Council (IFIC)
asserts, "Evidence suggests that greater amounts of
weight are lost more quickly with caloric restriction... but
when exercise is added to dietary change, even greater
weight losses are possible."
For example, researcher Steven Blair, PED, an exercise
physiologist at the Institute for Aerobics Research, Dallas,
found in a yearlong study that dieters who exercised lost
more pounds and fat than those who only cut calories.
"Exercise builds muscle tissue," says Blair, "and muscle
cells burn more calories while you are resting than do fat
cells. The more muscle you have, the more energy you
burn while at rest."
ONE OPINION- DENTISTRY
"Poor dental work has always been a problem, but the
incidence of misdiagnosis, over treatment, and the
application of unfounded techniques is increasing.
The most important contributors to this trend are
community water fluoridation and dental insurance plans.
Fluoridation has decreased the need for fillings.
Dental insurance limits the fees dentists can charge for
legitimate procedures.
To counteract these trends — the reduced need for
fillings and fee limits — some dentists treat problems
inappropriately, treat non -problems, or treat problems
outside their expertise."
NOTE: Consider getting a second opinion if you're ever
in doubt.

EXERCISE FATIGUE
Dehydration during exercise is one of the most important
causes of early fatigue.
Drink eight to 16 ounces of fluid before you exercise.
While exercising, try to match your fluid intake with
your sweat rate, which varies widely from person to
person.

• The fungus that causes this problem thrives in the
hot moist areas of the groin. The chafing caused by
clothing makes the problem worse.
Symptoms: Itching, redness, oozing, and some
peripheral scaling in the groin area.
• Immediately after exercising, change out of your
sweaty clothes, i.e., don't sit around.
Put your clothes in your sports bag or in a clothes
hamper. Do not put them back on after you shower;
do not put them in your locker for tomorrow's
workout.
• Use an antibacterial soap such as Dial in the shower.
Rinse well.
• Use a hair dryer (cool setting) or a clean, dry towel
to thoroughly dry the groin area.
• Use baby powder to help control moisture.
• Wear boxer shorts rather than closer -fitting shorts or
jockey briefs.
• Be patient— it may take two weeks for the problem
to clear up.
• If the problem persists, medication such as Tinactin
can help.
• Lose excess weight. Over weight people perspire
more and have more skin -to -skin contact.
