3 Health Mistakes Smart People Make

You buy organic food, go for regular runs, use fat-free dressing on your salad, and strenuously avoid being near people who smoke. You can relax-you're doing as much as you can to stay healthy, right? Wrong! You may be surprised that some of the smartest, most educated people around make health mistakes that are easily corrected. Are you guilty of one of these common health errors?

  • You use too much artificial sweetener. We've all had it drummed into our heads that sugar is bad-it causes cavities, weight gain, and hyperactivity.

Whether you use dumbbells, barbells, machines at the gym or old-fashioned resistance bands, it's important to challenge your muscles as well as your heart and lungs. You'll bolster your bones, stave off weight gain, and feel stronger and healthier.
