Dentists May Be First to Notice Eating Disorders
Eating disorders have a noticeable effect on teeth, gums and other parts of the dentist’s domain (the mouth). So it’s not surprising that a person’s dentist may be the first to spot the telltale signs of eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge-eating disorder.

Caloric Restriction May Come in a Capsule
A common compound found in red grapes and red wine has been found to mimic the healthy-aging effect in mice of caloric restriction, that is, an ultra-low-calorie diet. Receiving regular doses of resveratrol guaranteed dramatically healthier aging for the mice, leaving them with strong hearts, clear eyes, flexible muscles and strong bones well into old age, even if they started taking the chemical in middle age. Caloric restriction, though effective in producing a relatively disease-free aging process, is actually impractical and perhaps dangerous for humans. But taking a resveratrol pill is not. In fact, the compound has been found to have no noticeable side effects. ( Read more about Caloric Restriction May Come in a Capsule)

Worried Sick? There Might Be Some Truth There
A recent report by health provider BUPA has found that people's worries are damaging their health by causing sleepless nights, loss of sex drive, and erratic eating habits. The 2007 Worry Report demonstrates that almost one in five people constantly worry about numerous things, and more than half feel they worry more now than five years ago. Half of the people surveyed this year, which is 6% more than in 2006, claimed they were more worried about their health and their family's health than about other concerning issues such as climate change or terrorist attacks. The survey finds that almost three quarters of people worry, but around 19% admit to worrying all the time or about a number of things. ( Read more about Worried Sick?

Yogurt Consumption Linked to Healthier Body Weights for Women
Research conducted by The General Mills Bell Institute of Health and Nutrition finds that women who eat yogurt frequently are less likely to be overweight and more likely to meet the recommended daily intake of important nutrients, like calcium and vitamin D. The fourteen day study followed the diets of approximately 3,000 women ages 19 and older. Thirteen percent of these women ate three or more servings of yogurt over a two week period. In this group, the women on average had a 15% lower body mass index compared with women who consumed no yogurt. ( Read more about Yogurt Consumption Linked to Healthier Body Weights for Women)

American Children Are Not Consuming Enough Milk
A recent study from Penn State has found that American children are drinking insufficient amounts of milk and the dairy they are choosing to consume are very high in fat. The study examined a children's daily dairy intake and compared it with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's MyPyramid dairy recommendations. The findings revealed that only 2 to 3 year olds met the MyPyramid dairy recommendations. It was also observed that most children choose to eat more of the highest fat varieties of cheese, yogurt, ice cream, and dairy based toppings.

Diets Compared
It’s a topic that keeps on churning out studies…which is the best diet to help you lose weight, and lower your blood pressure and cholesterol. Atkins? Zone? Ornish? The good old food pyramid? The results of the latest government funded study is surprising to many. Many people thought this issue was a dead one--low carb being no better than a low fat diet, with the key being reduced calories across the board. But this latest study says, hold on--low carb may be the best for many reasons. ( Read more about Diets Compared)

What is Hoodia?
Hoodia is the latest appetite suppressant rage! It comes from a cactus-like plant in South Africa. It was used by tribesman as an appetite suppressant so they could go on long hunting and gathering trips. That appetite suppressant effect is what everyone is clamoring about, and is why it is now a key ingredient in weight loss products. The belief is that it works on a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, which holds our appetite center. Hoodia is believed to contain a molecule called P-57, which tells glucose sensors in the hypothalamus that enough calories have come in, and that one is full. Steve Siegel is Vice-President of Ecuadorian Rainforest L.L.C., a distributor of hoodia in the U.S. He says the hoodia must come from South Africa. His argument: any other hoodia won’t give you the appetite suppressing effects. ( Read more about What is Hoodia?)

Frequent snoring was found to increase with alcohol dependence, smoking and physical inactivity. -- ( Read more about Health Wrap:Snoring, Fetuses and Pain)
