Shocking Billboard Goes Too Far

.

Inspiration or instigation?

Some people feel that this advertising campaign goes too far in making the point.

How often should we be eating cheese?

Never? Wow. This is a long way from the “everything-in-moderation” message. And it’s also out of synch with mainstream nutrition advice. Federal dietary guidelines say it’s OK to eat small amounts of saturated fat — not more than 10 percent of daily calories. And heck, cheese does have two things our bodies need: protein and calcium.

Big Love For Big People

Having sex when your’re overweight can be a challenge.

While self-esteem may play a role, it’s not the only factor involved. Conditions such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes often accompany obesity and can impair blood flow to the genitals, resulting in problems with erectile dysfunction in men and arousal in both men and women. Extra weight can also stress the knees and other joints, making some sexual positions uncomfortable.

Regardless of your size your health should be your main concern.

Enjoying an active sex life is a part of a healthy lifestyle and can offer many benefits to your physical and emotional well being.

Sugar To Be A Regulated Substance?

Should we regulate sugar the way we regulate alcohol and tobacco?

Some say yes and they have some pretty good arguments for doing so.

If you have ever come in contact with a sugar cane then you know that it takes a whole lot of effort and chewing to extract a bit of sweetness.

Nature has a way of packaging calorie dense foods very well!

And for good reason. We all know what happens when you get too much of a good thing.

In this video below, Dr. Lustig offers some great reasons why we need to cut back on the sugar!

No Link Found Between Junk Food in Schools and Childhood Obesity

Although it is counter-intuitive to everything we think we know, there has been no direct link found between junk food sold in schools and obesity.

The researchers compared children’s weight in schools where junk food was sold and in schools where it was banned. The scientists also evaluated eighth graders who moved into schools that sold junk food with those who did not, and children who never attended a school that sold snacks with those who did. And they compared children who always attended schools with snacks with those who moved out of such schools.

This being said, there must be some logic to the connection of a poor diet and ill health.

Paula Deen Has Diabetes

Paula Deen announces she has diabetes and has no plans to change her cooking.

Deen, who is famous for her use of copious amounts of fat, butter and sugar, encourages moderation in her defense.

Deen has also signed on as a paid spokesperson for Novo Nordisk proving that she is more interested in being part of the problem than a part of the solution to the diabetes epidemic.

While Deen’s recipes — which promote prodigious amounts of butter and fried foods — may not specifically cause diabetes, eating that kind of high fat and high sugar food regularly can make it very difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

And for people who did inherit a susceptibility, lifestyle can make a difference. That means they may stave off diabetes by maintaining a healthy weight and exercising regularly.
