Still, it’s important to be careful. Although that burning sensation is healthy to an extent, too much horseradish can irritate your throat and nose or upset your stomach. Because of this, horseradish isn’t recommended for people who are sensitive, such as those with digestive issues or who are pregnant. It’s also wise to stick to horseradish as a food and avoid supplemental horseradish, as supplements can deliver horseradish in large, concentrated quantities. Want to enjoy some fresh horseradish this winter? Start by mastering a classic horseradish sauce (it’s easier than you think). Then you can get more adventurous from there, adding horseradish to stews, soups, salads, roasts, and casseroles.

Fitness Tips COMMERCIALS CALISTHENICS By Dylan Roche
Ever noticed that you spend your annual Super Bowl party sitting comfortably on the La-Z-Boy while you watch other people engage in intense physical activity on TV? Why not change things up a little bit? It’s not as if there’s a rule stating that your annual tradition has to be completely sedentary. All it takes is a few calisthenics to turn an otherwise lazy evening into a chance to get your blood pumping and your muscles engaged—it will make the game a lot more interesting, and you can even get the equivalent of a workout in. There are plenty of calisthenics you can do, but let’s refresh your memory on a few of the basic ones. Using these calisthenics, try creating a routine you have to do during each commercial break. Or you can get your fellow viewers to participate by doing certain exercises when designated events happen during the game. Your team misses a catch? You have to do 20 pushups. Your team intercepts the ball? You get to challenge your fellow viewers who are cheering the other team to do 10 burpees. Then everybody has to run in place during the halftime show or during every replay shown on screen.
