column.

Dear In-Shape,

I have two health questions for you. I'm an athlete. I play

baseball for my university team, and I go running every day. I
exercise
all the time. I think I'm in terrific shape, but I'm worried that
I exercise too much. That's my first question-how much exercise is
too much?
My second question is about my diet. I try to eat healthy.
I hardly ever eat pizza, fast food, or other snacks. I never drink
soft drinks. But I have one really bad habit: I have a sweet
tooth! I eat too much chocolate, candy, cake, and ice cream.
How can I cut down on sweets?

-Ron Miller

Dear In-Shape,

I need some exercise advice! I don't feel very healthy. I get tired
just walking from my house to my car! My doctor said that I have to
ex�rcise
more. I'm sure that she's right. I should get out of the house more
often. My husband goes running every day, but I never go running·���r:::::
with him. I'm a couch potato. My big activiry is watching
movies-I watch a movie just about every night. Unfortunately,
you don't burn many calories watching TV!
By the way, the problem is not my diet. I generally try to
eat foods chat are good for me, like fish, vegetables, and
fruit. I avoid snacks, and I almost never eat sweets!
