In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explains the truth about laxatives. There are two kinds of laxatives used to relieve constipation – oral and rectal. Some people think that laxatives can be used for weight loss to help you cleanse your system. They really aren’t meant for this kind of use or any kind of long term use. A better way is to eat more fiber and drink more water. But if you are going to use a laxative pick a fiber supplement that is gentler on your body. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how to make healthy meals with stuff that’s been hidden in your freezer or pantry for awhile. That bag or can of beans that you have had for months in your pantry can be cooked up and added into salad, soup or even a salsa. Beans are a great source of protein and fiber. And that bag of frozen vegetables that seemed like a good idea but you have not figured out the exact right meal for them is perfect for your next dinner. Thaw them and put them in a salad or soup or even try doing what Dr Fitness loves is roast them on a cookie sheet after you spritz them with olive oil. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
