She often asks my inputs and sometimes my opinions on matters pertaining to fitness and exercise for articles she is commissioned to do or proposing to do for various magazines, paper and on line. A while back she asked forRead More
A recent study, linked below, addresses the different attitudes and lifestyle choices of those who are thin vs those who are dieting to be thinner, we presume. The study’s press release has a few unaddressed issues I want to address. For example, what are the BMIs of each group? Also, since the subjects all volunteeredRead More
Here’s a real-world application of behavioral psychology that could change the world, sort of.

Pretty damning headline, eh? Seems the evidence, as composited by a diet and nutrition task force in the US and now this study, is demonstrating that Subway-style processed meats, even if not served in high calorie dishes/sandwiches, can be damaging to the heart.

It came out last year or so that eating cholesterol-rich foods ain’t as bad as they once thought. Now this says an egg a day won’t kill you…but the bacon, well, they just don’t know yet: http://www.healthcanal.com/blood-heart-circulation/heart-disease/70334-high-cholesterol-diet-eating-eggs-do-not-increase-risk-of-heart-attack-not-even-in-persons-genetically-predisposed.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+healthnewshc%2FOxfp+%28Health+News+from+HealthCanal.com%29
