| Hey, Healthy Lifers! If you’re like us, you’ve been chilling out this summer with fro-yo from one of Philly’s six new yogurt spots. But is Philly’s fro-yo really that good for you? We found out everything you want to know, from calorie counts to the truth about frozen probiotics. We also rounded up adrenaline-pumping ways (get ready to hang ten and scuba with the sharks) to help you break a sweat like the Weekend Warrior you are, and we asked area chefs for healthy corn-on-the-cob recipes. Plus, we kindly asked one of our Top Doctors for the secret to staying safe while shaving so you can rock your bathing suit razor-bump-free. Enjoy! | |||
