Look for a racquetball glove that fits comfortably, and has the ventilation you want. Bring your racket and do some test swings.

Racket grip

To test if the racket grip fits you, see if your middle and ring fingers can almost touch the bottom of your thumb.

Fruit & veggies

Eat more fruits and vegetables

People who do have a reduced risk of chronic diseases, including stroke, heart attack, diabetes, and certain cancers.

Zinc

Zinc is toxic

High zinc causes anemia and prostate problems. Keep daily zinc under 12mg, unless under treatment by a doctor (eg. for macular degeneration).

Motivation

Stick to your resolutions

Consider your resolutions as a promise to yourself, not as a test of your willpower.

See your doctor if
