Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Your Health While you know “omega” as the last letter of the Greek alphabet, and meaning, “the end,” it is doubtful that you have heard the end about “omega-3 fatty acids.” In fact, you’ll be hearing more and more about this long-chain fatty acid and how important it is to your health, and how American diets should be increased in this nutrient. To Weigh or Not to Weigh? If you are trying to lose weight like most people these days, you might find yourself becoming fairly attached to your bathroom scale, despite knowing that daily weighing is not necessary and is not recommended. There is a better “weigh,” pardon the pun, to monitor your weight loss progress than to rely on this “irrelevant” and out-dated method. Obesity and the Metabolic Syndrome In recent years, scientists have found that some of the complications of obesity, which include diabetes, hypertension, insulin resistance, and heart disease, were more clearly related to the central distribution of fat (excessive fat tissue in the abdominal region), than to overall level of obesity. This central location of fat and the release of fatty acids and cytokines (powerful chemical substances secreted by cells) from the enlarged fat cells in this area, provide the major agents that define the Metabolic Syndrome. Do You Have Low T? Nationwide, an estimated 13 million men age 45 and older suffer from Low T. Just what is Low T? Low T is Low Testosterone.

Do You Know What Your Number Is? Your metabolism can account for up to 75% of the calories you burn each day. The remaining 25% is influenced by your lifestyle and activity. If you do not know what your metabolic rate is, you are doing your body a disservice and may be less successful at losing weight. What Are You Doing to Fight Sarcopenia? Sarcopenia generally starts to set in around age 45, when muscle mass begins to decline at a rate of about 1 percent per year. As muscle mass begins to decline, so does muscle strength. Studies have revealed that muscle strength declines by approximately 15 percent per decade in the sixties and seventies and about 30 percent thereafter. As strength goes, so does physical functioning---the ability to do chores, take walks, climb stairs, or the accomplishment of other activities. 9 Best-Kept Secrets for Getting Children to Eat Foods that are Healthy Is mealtime often a nightmare when trying to get your child to eat healthy?
