A regular 330 ml soft drink contains around 35 g of sugar. The WHO advises keeping free sugars under 10% of your energy intake, ideally under 5%, which is roughly 25 g a day for an adult. A single can blows past that ideal target. And sugar you drink doesn't fill you up: it simply adds on.
Chlorine on its own is fairly gentle. But when it combines with urine, sweat and other grime from swimmers, it forms chloramines, which cause stinging eyes and that classic 'chlorine smell'. A well-kept pool barely smells at all. Shower before you swim and never pee in the water.
Muscle mass slowly shrinks with age, putting independence at risk. But in 1990, a study had nursing home residents aged 86 to 96 train their legs for eight weeks: their strength more than doubled. Muscle responds to training at any age. Getting up from a chair without using your hands is already an exercise.
