Obesity Among US Women Becoming More Socially Acceptable

Youngsters attending Pocono Trails weight loss camps do not watch TV. They monitor their calories, and get up early. They learn to pay attention to how much activity they perform, eat no fat diets, and play sports.
Researchers from the MD Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas found that breast cancer patients undergoing radiation treatments were better able to combat feelings of fatigue during a six-week trial of twice-weekly yoga classes in addition to their medical care. The women also had fewer problems with daytime sleepiness.
Dr Steven Hunter from the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast who led the study said, “High-fat diets have become popular because they seemingly promote more rapid weight loss and because of their palatability. However, we now have proof that they do not help people lose weight any faster than more conventional diets, and the potential negatives of increased cardiovascular risks far outweigh the potential positives of more easily sustained dieting/weight loss, especially when there is a proven and safe alternative in low-fat high-carbohydrate weight loss diets.”
The experiment, done on laboratory mice, found that mice who consumed soluble fiber did not get as ill as other mice who did not consume soluble fiber. "In only six weeks, these animals had profound, positive changes in their immune systems," she said. Five in ten patients buy propecia no prescription needed to be less likely to have disease recurrence.
The finding, published in the journal Nature, is the largest MS gene study to date. Scientists say the discovery doubles the number of genes that are known to play a role in the disease; opening the doors for more research.
Consumers who are interested in learning how much radiation their cell phone emits can check with the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that has published an online guide to cell phone radiation. To help reduce exposure to cell phone radiation, the Environmental Working Group urges consumers to text more and talk less, use headsets and speaker phone whenever possible, and to avoid cell phone use when the signal is poor.
