Physical Now, the punch line comes from a study reported in the April, 1980, issue of The Physician and Sportsmedicine. Blood samples from 77 male runners with no Education and Recreation Utah State University The physical demands of long distance running are obvious and they force us into remedial measures when problems occur. Nutritional demands are much more subtle and less obvious; thus, difficulties may arise without any pressure to modify eating habits. were symptoms deficiency zinc and serum for analyzed were levels The copper copper. within normal limits, but the mean zinc level was 20 percent below control values and published norms. This study raises the question of whether runners, generally, are to marginal zinc disposed if so, should they deficiency and, be concerned with their diet. Experienced runners ordinarily in diet a consume high carbohydrates and relatively low in meat and animal products, which sometimes complicates a problem often created by the activity program. Add to this the fact that we don't always know whether "athletes" need more of some nutrients than less active . . people. I might add that other studies have also found mineral deficiencies in runners. A case in These point is magnesium. some raise examples always nutritional concerns relative to the heavy activity demands made upon the human body. . . Zinc, the most abundant trace mineral in tissues other than blood, could be one of the nutritional concerns for runners. It is the most widely distributed heavy metal in the body. Despite its widespread occurence, zinc must be consumed almost daily to prevent deficiency. It is lost from the body stores mainly in feces, sweat and urine. The least we can do about these potential problems is to make sure our diets are not neglecting some foods that could lead to deficiency irregularities. In the case of zinc, the major food sources are in the order listed: oysters (by far the best), wheat germ, roast beef, liver, chicken (dark meat), whole wheat bread, nuts, legumes, and eggs. I always hesitate to advise food supplements, but that should not be ruled out if your diet is not adequate. Dietary adjustments are easy to make and they are much less than expensive wise The supplementation. A state of chronic zinc deficiency may result if dietary zinc intake does not counterbalance these losses over an extended period. Clinical disorders in humans attributed to chronic zinc deficiency include loss of taste and smell acuity, loss or lack of appetite, slow wound healing, and skin lesions.

The ancient Persians slept on goatskins filled with water over 3600 years ago. fully-loade- d trailer's prior to performance a starting journey of any length," Ingersoll said. The purpose of this is to check for "fishtailing," e movement or to indicate an improper or load improper hitching. This movement can rapidly increase to violent oscillation under increased speed. The first advertisement for a waterbed appeared in a London newspaper in 1854. This particular waterbed was advertised not only as being com- fortable, but was also represented to be useful in the care of many diseases and maladies. Today, the waterbed is accepted by millions as an innovation in sleep systems which offers the finest most therapeutically relaxing night's sleep available. People that sleep in waterbeds prefer its comfort over any other form of bedding to the extent that they will stop only at hotels and motels with waterbeds. More and more hospitals are using waterbeds in the treatment ot burn patients, paraplegics, quadraplegics, hydrocephalics, bedsore sufferers and premature infants. The bed of the future is a waterbed. SoiQi.
