Researchers from Unilever’s Research and Development in the Netherlands compared the effects on hunger after drinking a meal-replacement drink with the fiber, alginate, at two different strengths and without it.

It has been well documented in species ranging from spiders to monkeys that a diet with consistently fewer calories can dramatically slow the process of aging and improve health in old age. But how a reduced diet acts [...] (Source: Biosingularity) Biosingularity blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4771190 Sat, 20 Nov 2010 01:47:40 +0100 4771190 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3701673&cid=t_223048_87_f&fid=39187&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgetbetterhealth.com%2Fphysical-activity-for-weight-loss-not-for-most-middle-aged-women%2F2010.06.26 Talk about a cruel trick of nature! A study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) shows that physical activity prevents weight gain in middle-aged and older women ONLY IF THEY ARE ALREADY AT IDEAL WEIGHT. Did you read that? It means that the recommended guidelines advocating 150 minutes of exercise a week isn’t sufficient to prevent weight gain in most middle-aged women. The Harvard-associated researchers assessed weight changes associated with various levels of physical activity on 34,079 women who had been followed since 1992 in the Women’s Health Study. They stratified women as “inactive” (less than 150 minutes a week of moderate level physical activity), “intermediatel...

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve heard that rapid weight loss generally leads to rapid weight regain too. Like a lot of nutritional ‘truths’ though, a recent study suggest that this meme is wildly misleading.

I’ll come onto why in a moment. But before I do, I want to share the results of a recent study in which women ate in one or four ways [1]: 1. where individuals ate a diet which restricted calories to [...] (Source: Dr John Biffa's Blog) Dr John Biffa's Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3490908 Wed, 21 Apr 2010 16:41:54 +0100 3490908 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1432386&cid=t_223048_117_f&fid=34612&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thedoctorweighsin.com%2Fjournal%2F2008%2F5%2F9%2Fwant-to-live-to-100-read-this.html By Dov Michaeli MD, Ph.DIn 2005 National Geographic magazine had a fascinating article by Dan Buettner, about the “Blue Zones”, areas where people live to the ages of 90, 100 and older. These areas included Loma Linda, CA, Sardinia Italy, Okinawa Japan, and the Nicoya peninsula in Costa Rica. He followed up his trip to Costa Rica with a more extensive visit, including a team of researchers, in 2007. One of the pitfalls of studies of this sort is the verification of claims of age. For instance, a claim that made a big splash in the media several years ago concerned Bulgarian villagers who claimed that their secret to longevity is eating yogurt. A craze of yogurt swept the U.S. following publication of this story, which I am not sure has completely disappeared. That "study&q...
