When mothers are active so are their children – but many mothers are not | University of Cambridge

"It shows that young children are not ‘just naturally active’ and that parents have an important role to play in the development of healthy activity habits early on in life. The research also provides important evidence for policy makers to inform programmes that promote physical activity in families with young children. Its findings suggest that all family members can benefit from such efforts." - See more at: http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/when-mothers-are-active-so-are-their-children-but-many-mothers-are-not#sthash.GQsHp9tp.dpuf

Selling a Poison by the Barrel: Liquid Nicotine for E-Cigarettes - NYTimes.com

The whole idea of e-cigarettes is a bizarre one regardless of the apparent health risks..."These “e-liquids,” the key ingredients in e-cigarettes, are powerful neurotoxins. Tiny amounts, whether ingested or absorbed through the skin, can cause vomiting and seizures and even be lethal. A teaspoon of even highly diluted e-liquid can kill a small child."

Caprylic acid is one of the most commonly used - and effective - natural cures for candida infection.

The better brands of caprylic acid come in enteric coated or timed-released capsules to ensure that it gets released only when it reaches the colon – and that it is released slowly there, so that it goes through the entire length of the large intestines.

American Friends of Tel Aviv University: Not Just What You Eat

Adaptation!!  It doesn't take generations to make the physiological adjustments, our fat cells are adapting to our lifestyles, if this study is correct...

"We found that fat cells exposed to sustained, chronic pressure -- such as what happens to the buttocks when you're sitting down -- experienced accelerated growth of lipid droplets, which are molecules that carry fats.

"Contrary to muscle and bone tissue, which get mechanically weaker with disuse, fat depots in fat cells expanded when they experienced sustained loading by as much as 50%. This was a substantial discovery."

Hormone discovered that ‘predicts’ biological age

Does this mean that the obesity gene could be a farce since the body adapt to training? "Irisin itself is secreted from muscle in response to exercise and is capable of reprograming the body's fat cells to burn energy instead of storing it. This increases the metabolic rate and is thought to have potential weight loss effects, which in turn could help with conditions such as type-2 diabetes."

Another problem that was brought up was that other family members, like spouses and grandparents, broke the rules set up in the home."
