 Runners,
tennis players, swimmers, golfers and baseball players,
all have two things in common- they love playing sports,
and spend a lot of time outside in the hot sun. All
of that sun exposure can result in a killer tan, but
getting too much sun can be risky. UVA and UVB rays can
cause the progressive skin damage that leads to cancer.
July is UV Safety Month on Women Fitness. This week we
focus on, Top 10 Sun Safety Tips for Athletes.

 To
trim your waistline, add whole grains to your diet. For
example, choose brown or wild rice instead of white
rice. Refined and other highly processed foods can
contribute to weight gain and interfere with weight
loss. A study in the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition showed that a calorie-controlled diet rich in
whole grains can trim extra fat from the waistline of
obese subjects.

Getting past Rejection
 Does
the fear of rejection hold you back? Are you so
concerned about what others might think or say or feel
about you that it keeps you from taking positive action?
Rejection hurts only when you allow it to hurt, and
there's no reason whatsoever for you to allow it to
hurt. If someone says no to you, or if someone says
something negative about you, that does not change
anything about who you are.
The words, actions and opinions of others have no real
bearing on your worth as a person. Certainly it is
helpful and desirable to make a good impression whenever
you can, yet it's not the end of the world when you
experience rejection.
When you set out to make a true and substantial positive
difference, there will be those who disagree with you,
those who ignore you, and those who flat out reject what
you're doing. Look beyond them and keep your focus on
what you've decided to accomplish.
It's great to have positive feedback, but it simply does
not always happen. Go confidently forward, do what you
know must be done, and let others think what they will.

Rhubarb and Orange Refresher
Makes: 8 servings
|
 |

Nutritional Information:
Per Serving
Calories: 90 Kcal,
Fat: 0g,
Carbohydrate: 23 g,
Protein: 0 g,
Fiber: 0 g. |
|
Ingredients:
-
3 cups fresh rhubarb, cut crosswise in 1/2-inch
slices, about 3/4 lb.
-
4 cups cold water
-
1/4 cup agave syrup, preferably light color
-
1 cup orange juice
-
4 mint sprigs, for garnish
|
Directions:
-
In large, stainless steel or other non-reactive
saucepan, combine rhubarb and water. Cover and bring
to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and
simmer 15 minutes. Set covered pot aside to steep
for 10 minutes.
-
Set large strainer over bowl. Pour contents of pot
into strainer and drain liquid into bowl. Using back
of wooden spoon, press very lightly on rhubarb, just
to extract liquid that drains easily. Pressing too
firmly will make infusion cloudy. Discard pulp. Pour
liquid, about 4 cups, into jar or other container,
preferably glass, and let sit until room
temperature, then cover and refrigerate for up to 2
days.
-
To serve Refresher, measure 3 cups rhubarb infusion.
Pour 1/2 cup into pitcher, add agave, and stir until
combined. Pour in remaining rhubarb infusion and
orange juice. To serve, divide Refresher among 4
ice-filled, tall glasses. Garnish each glass with
mint sprig, if using. For single serving, in a
glass, combine 1/4 cup rhubarb infusion with 1
tablespoon agave, and then add remaining 1/2 cup
infusion, 1/4 cup orange juice and ice.
