2009-01-05 Achieving Happiness: Healthy New Years resolutions - Lifestyle - ( )

If you dont burn off the stress chemicals naturally, youll likely turn to a substance to soothe your body such as comfort foods, alcohol, tobacco or drugs. Even then the relief you feel will be short lived. It wont take long for your body to tell you that youve made a bad choice. You know the signals - the heartburn, the hangover, the shortness of breath, the lethargy.

But its not only illness that impairs your mental and emotional functioning. When you put unhealthy foods into your body, its like putting bad gas into your car - its not going to work very well. Healthy foods such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and low-fat meats, fuel up your storehouses of energy - the mitochondria - in your cells.

2009-01-05 Living: Get the skinny on todays popular diet plans

Dietician says: "There are so many versions out there and we learned in the 80s with all our calorie restrictive diets that its important to keep the protein factor up when youre trying to lose weight.

Yes, it can get boring, but on the flip side, they dont have to deal with food and make those hard portion decisions. "

2008-12-31 Dont blame your genes if your jeans dont fit Mark Henderson - Times Online

This is often taken to mean that obese people bear little responsibility for their shape. Rather than lacking the willpower to eat less and exercise more, perhaps their genes have forged thrifty, fat-prone bodies that burn calories reluctantly. If nature can trump nurture like this, the thinking goes, politicians and doctors are wrong to hector fat people about unhealthy lifestyles. They are just prisoners of their genes.

When the importance of genetics in obesity was first grasped, the mechanism of the effect was not known. The obvious hypothesis was that DNA alters metabolism, so that some people burn less energy and lay down more fat. As some of the genes involved have been pinpointed, however, it has become possible to work out what they do. And it turns out that most seem not to affect metabolism at all.

Go for the gold . and red, and blue and green and orange. Eat with as many colors as possible. The theory now is that foods with different colors have different nutrients and the more colorful your diet the more good stuff you get.

Now reduce it by a bit. Just one can of soda less makes a difference of about 150 calorires. It takes 3,500 calories to make a pound. If you eat 3,500 more than you need to keep body and soul together you gain a pound. If you burn off 3,500 you lose a pound.

Now, thats sad. And not only is it sad, but it presents a dilemma. I need to lose weight to ease the burden on my back, which will make it possible to ratchet my exercises up to the next level. But the puny little exercises I do now, while important in the grand scheme of things, dont do much to burn calories and promote weight loss, so its much easier to ruminate thoughtfully over my condition with hot, thick-crust pizza and cold beer.

Wildlife: Chickadees adapt well to cold

Many animals, especially mammals, take the physiological route to protect themselves from winter cold. Some add layers of body fat. Chickadees do too, but each night they burn all the fat they stored the day before. Each day chickadees double their early morning fat reserves. That fat then burns off during the night.

Chickadees also scatter small caches of food throughout their winter range. Thus during winter storms chickadees have a safety net of stored food that can see them through a stressful day or two until natural foods become available.
