| Five Myths About Drinking Water
Is bottled water better for you than tap? Or should you choose vitamin-enriched water over sparkling? Experts say, skip it all. None of these products are likely to make you any healthier.

Ask Rocco: Simple solution for fat arms
QUESTION: I'm 35 and I need to drop 15 pounds, but more importantly I want to lose my fat arms. Too much sagging underneath. How do you get rid of it? It's so embarrassing.
ANSWER: Fat arms come from a fat body, and very rarely does fat just hold camp in one particular body part. If the arms are sagging because there was fat there and now it's just skin looking for something to fill it, that's a different story. Sagging skin is a waiting game and usually results from losing weight or fat too fast.
Fat arms we can deal with efficiently. It's just a matter of burning fuel, and when that fuel is used up, there's no more fat. It can be a very easy solution if you are consistent.
If you drive a car on a regular basis you know that you're paying out the ass for gas (rhyme really not intended but what the hell).
