More Exercise Induces Women to Eat Treats

Overweight women who engaged in exercise for one to two hours a week lost several pounds over six months without dieting. But paradoxically, those who exercised even more – three hours a week – failed to lose as much as expected.


The researchers, who published their findings in PLoSONE, a Public Library of Science online journal, speculated that the reason for this phenomenon was that the women who exercised the most rewarded themselves with food treats for their “sacrifice.”

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.

Multivitamins Found Useless Against Top Killers

In a large, well-regarded study on women, daily multivitamin use was found to provide no protection at all against breast cancer, colon cancer, heart attack, stroke, blood clots or premature death.
   
Previous research has shown that eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables leads to lower rates of cancer, heart disease and other deadly disorders. But it’s been a question mark whether taking vitamin supplements does the same.

Omega Fatty Acids on a Global Roll

A health craze over omega fatty acids is fueling a soaring global market for foods and drinks fortified with the biochemicals. The "healthy halo" around the compounds has been created by widespread public awareness of them, their scientifically proven health advantages, consumers' readiness to buy products enhanced with them, and a flood of positive media coverage.

Market research publisher Packaged Facts estimates that the global market expanded 36 percent between 2007 and 2008. ( Read more about Omega Fatty Acids on a Global Roll)

Sperm Quality Worsens With Obesity

Obese men are three times more likely than normal-weight men to have low sperm counts and to have sperm that don't "swim upstream," a recent study showed.

"There is a strong relationship between overweight and obesity and altered sperm parameters," wrote Ahmad O. Hammoud and his colleagues at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. They published their work in the journal Fertility and Sterility. They say studies in the future should examine this relationship over time, and also study whether losing weight improves sperm quality. ( Read more about Sperm Quality Worsens With Obesity)

Healthy Breakfast a Predictor of Lower Weight

People who ate a healthy breakfast were found generally to weigh less than their counterparts who either ate a high-calorie, fatty meal or skipped it altogether. So concluded a recent study, which was reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. It examined responses from more than 12,000 American adults who took part in three federal health surveys between 1999 and 2004. The research found that men who ate a healthy breakfast weighed less on average, and that women also weighed less if they ate any sort of breakfast at all, healthy or not.

To Lose Weight, Join the "Portion Patrol"

America is awash in calories. And as the calorie floodwaters rise, the numbers of us who are overweight and obese rise along with them. One of the main streams swelling the calorie flood is the prevalence of large-portioned meals and drinks - super-sized fast-food meals, all-you-can-eat buffets, seemingly bottomless sodas and slushes. And the way to cut off the stream's influence is to join the "portion patrol" - that is, to rigorously regulate the size of the meals we eat.

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.

Five Overlooked Food Factors in Weight Loss

Losing weight isn't just a matter of cutting and burning calories. There are certain inherent qualities of foods, which, if you understand them, can help you craft an eating strategy that will magnify the effectiveness of your fat loss efforts. Your food's "thermic effect." You burn more calories depending on what type of food you're eating. It takes more calories, for example, to digest, absorb and assimilate protein than other food types. So the more proteins you eat, which have a higher co-called thermic effect of food (TEF), the more calories you'll burn.

10 Dark Secrets of the Food Industry

With the public health crisis known as obesity reaching emergency proportions in the United States, the public spotlight is turning on the makers of the highly processed, high-calorie junk foods that help to fuel the growing calamity. In a recent study, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 32 percent of children were overweight but not obese, 16 percent were obese, and 11 percent were extremely obese.
