HIT THE MALL AND STILL STAY HEALTHY

From Health magazine:

Stash hand sanitizer in your handbag
"The germs on your hands are the single biggest threat to your health," says Marc Leavey, M.D., a primary care physician at Mercy Personal Physicians at Lutherville in Maryland.

And a few healthy snacks
They'll keep your blood sugar steady and help you stave off Cinnabon cravings, says New York dietitian Ilyse Schapiro, RD. To burn off a Classic Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll, you'd have to mall-walk for six hours.

Stop at the massage kiosk
A study from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles found that a single Swedish massage can boost germ-fighting white blood cells. Only got 15 minutes? "I suspect some massage is better than none," says lead author Mark Rapaport, M.D.
