From Wendy Bumgardner, your About Fitness Editor

How to Avoid Vacation Diet Disasters
So, you've dieted enough to look great in your swimsuit. But will those losses disappear after a couple of trips to the buffet, or bags of snacks on the road trip? Here's how to come back as light as when you went.

Detox Internal Cleansing the Pilates Way
I'm a skeptic when it comes to the whole concept of detox and cleansing. But I'm a believer that you can accomplish the same thing through exercise and breathing, as with the Pilates way.

Genes Don't Fail Me Now
How much of a factor is genetics in sports performance and muscle building vs. good old training and nutrition? Our Bodybuilding Guide Hugo Rivera shares his views.

Take Your Arthritis to the Gym
Exercise is essential when you have arthritis, but it is very tough to be faithful to an exercise program at home. The solution? Commit to a gym.

About Food & Drink: 48 Ways to Eat Asparagus

If you can't see this email, click here

About.com


From Amanda Wills, your About Food & Drink Editor
One of my favorite things about this time of the year is a fresh bouquet of vibrant green asparagus. It's no wonder this vegetable was once known as the "food of kings."

8 Ways to Cook Asparagus
I like to blanch my asparagus, but there is a slew of ways to bring out that crisp flavor - from pan roasting, to steaming, to even microwaving. All without sacrificing that signature taste.

Asparagus Pasta Salad
Asparagus is a great ingredient to brighten up a heavy pasta (even if you love a creamy sauce like me). A perfect light summer side dish, this particular recipe is dairy-free but still satisfying. (Don't worry cream-lovers: we found recipes for you, too.)

Creamy Asparagus Spring Soup
Asparagus pureed into a soup? Oh yes, it definitely works. I chose to highlight this recipe for more than its taste. Asparagus is a diuretic vegetable, eliminating water from the body through the kidneys. It's also packed full of folate, potassium, and fiber. Perfect for a summer cleanse diet!

Try White Asparagus
In Germany, white asparagus ("der Spargel") is the go-to vegetable in spring and summer. Our German Food Guide suggests cooking with butter and serving with ham and a nice white wine.
