With extra gene, mice are footloose and cancer free
In a perfect world, we could eat to our heart's content without sacrificing our health and good looks, and now it appears that maybe we can. Mice with an extra dose of a known anti-cancer gene lose weight even as their appetites grow. Not only that, but according to new research, the animals also live longer, and that isn't just because they aren't getting cancer, either.

California making headway in battle against childhood obesity but successes are uneven
A new study offers hope that California may finally be getting a handle on its 30-year battle with childhood obesity, but also showcases a patchwork of progress that leaves the majority of counties in the state still registering increases in obesity rates among California's school-age children.

Lymphedema, a chronic swelling condition common in breast cancer survivors, affects three million people in the US. In the past, most people believed that exercise might induce or worsen lymphedema.

The Slow Carb Rule I Don?t Agree With
It's a simple lifestyle - beans, protein and vegies, and then that fun day of the week where anything goes. So what's not to like? Great health results, losing fat, building muscle - it all seems pretty great. But there's one particular recommendation Tim Ferriss made that I've never agreed with, and research now proves it could see your waist line expanding over the next 5 or 10 years. Find out what the problem is, right now, and stay lean for life.

12 Tips to Jumpstart Your Exercise Program
Its mid-February....are you close to quitting your exercise program you started in January? Don't...you just need a jumpstart to keep you going (or get you going again)!
So, here are 12 Tips to get your exercise jumpstarted:
1. Clear your mind and refocus. You want to be healthier, right? Focus on this goal first. You want a lean body? Do it. If you stop now, you won't reach either goal.
2. Make sure your goals are realistic, such as keeping an active lifestyle, burning body fat (losing inches) and losing 1-2 pounds a week.
3. Start moving more during the day....all movement burns calories, so get moving already! Matter of fact, don't wait until your workout to get moving. Every burned calorie counts no matter how you get it done.
Here's some pointers to get you moving around all day:
--Walk during your breaks at work.
--Walk 20 minutes first thing in the morning or at the end of your day.
--Walk the stairs instead of riding in the elevator.
--Do exercises while watching your favorite television show.
--Do yardwork and house chores.
4.Start today with your great meal plan full of nutritious, whole foods that you like.
5. On Day 2, start a 20-minute interval cardio routine of walking, jogging or sprinting. Do this cardio 2-3 days a week.
For example, you could jog for 1 minute and walk 1 minute. Do this rotation for 20 minutes. Progress to sprint intervals when you are ready.
6. On Day 3, begin doing a 20-minute full bodyweight strength exercise workout. You need to build lean muscle in order to burn fat and speed up your metabolism. Do your bodyweight exercise routine 3 days a week.
Exercises like squats, lunges, inverted rows, pushups, pullups and dips work well.
7. Schedule a fun activity each week such as a hike, jump rope games, hopscotch, volleyball, etc. If you do something like this more than once a week, that's even better. The purpose is to stay active with enjoyable activities.
8. Dance, dance, dance.....this is great full body exercise that's fun!
9. Organize a weekly neighborhood kickball game. Everybody likes kickball and its easy and fun.
10. Start training for a charity walk or run. Many people use this tactic for motivation. You don't have to run a half marathon or marathon. It could be a 2-3 mile walk or run.
11. Try a group exercise class like spin or Zumba for fun and support.
12. Buy a medicine ball and do full-body exercises with it. Medicine ball exercises are naturally fun and demanding at the same time.

Good aerobic capacity promotes learning
Aerobic fitness has a favorable effect on cognitive functions. For example, physically active elderly people are less prone to aging-related cognitive decline than those who lead a sedentary lifestyle. An increase in physical activity raises both aerobic capacity and learning ability in both humans and animals. However, it is not known whether it is the aerobic capacity or the pleasure and enrichment of physical activity that promotes cognitive functions.
