Q. Is bottled water better than tap water?

lemon or lime added to the water from your tap. Some
people say it makes a significant difference in the taste.
Q . I’m a middle-aged woman who gets black and blue
marks on my legs when I diet. Am I doing
a nything wro n g ?

blue marks are usually the result of an increased level of
e s t rogen circulating in your body, w h i c h weakens the
w a l ls of the ca p i ll a ries and causes them to break under
the slightest pre s s u re . When this happens, blood esca p e s
and a bruise occurs. E s t rogen is broken down in the

b reaks down the fat, leaving a lot more estrogen in the

It may be helpful to supplement your diet with a little
extra vitamin C each day to help toughen the walls of
the capillaries.
