Link: Shouldn’t Working Out More Make Me Healthier?

Turns out, maybe not. There may be too much of a good thing. The above-linked article claims (without actually linking to the study, tsk tsk) that at a certain point, a long workout may drain your body of zinc, a key mineral that helps your immune system.

So I just took a zinc supplement. (I don’t usually — just when I’m sick to try to give my immune system a boost.)

Note: I AM NOT SAYING TO WORK OUT LESS. I am just saying that everything needs to be kept in balance.

What do you think? Do you get sick more often when you work out more?

Link: Spaghetti Squash

Per Lemon’s above-linked recipe, I finally tried cooking spaghetti squash tonight. I sort of did a combo of her recipe and the directions on the outside of the squash. I microwaved the whole thing for 5 minutes to soften the skin and then tore into it with the biggest knife I have, trying to cut it up. It’s a slippery little f***er!

Then, I scooped as much out as I  humanly could and put the rest back in the microwave to soften it some more. It’s now boiling on the stove.

How do you make spaghetti squash?
