The Austrians have owned Alpine skiing lately, but the men's team has been devastated by injuries, most significantly to Hermann (the Herminator) Maier, a double gold- medal winner at Nagano who shattered his leg in a motorcycle accident last summer.

Spinach is loaded with iron and folate, a B vitamin considered so important that it is now routinely added to flour. Folate not only prevents neural-tube defects in babies but also lowers blood levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that irritates blood vessels and is linked to heart disease. Just as impressive, spinach contains two phytochemicals, lutein and zeaxanthin, that seem to ward off macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness...
