But sometimes even just watching what you eat sucks. Nothing’s worse than the feeling you get when you want chocolate, but know you can’t have it. (Okay, the BP oil spill, earthquake in Haiti, and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan might be worse.) With these tips to stay full while eating less, you may be able to treat yourself once in a while. 1. Eat protein for breakfast. Eating a lean protein at breakfast keeps you fuller than other nutrients, because your body takes more time to digest and absorb it. Try low-fat yogurt or egg whites. But not mixed — that would be gross. 2. Swallow some spuds. The starch in potatoes resists digestive enzymes, which means it takes longer for your body to break it down. Potat...

She recently pledged to donate $50,000 a year until 2015 with her fiancé, Javier Bardem, to help rebuild schools in Haiti.

Susannah Masur, the Communications Officer for the organization Action Against Hunger, writes how the organization currently supports breastfeeding in Haiti: My organization, Action Against Hunger, has set up makeshift tents in battered neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince to provide mothers and their infants with a safe environment for breastfeeding, as well as medical, nutritional, and psychological support. She shared the link to a UNICEF video on the baby tents. The video is quite informative about the myths surrounding breastfeeding after a disaster such as the earthquake, the importance of breastfeeding in an emergency, and the danger of formula-feeding, particularly with unsafe water. Have a hanky ready, and check out...

When an area experiences a major disaster as Haiti did earlier this week, the infrastructure breaks down and this usually includes the availability of safe drinking water. And, if the area hit is as poorly off as Haiti was before the earthquake, then the living conditions are going to change from poor to unimaginable. Before the earthquake, more than half the population had access to clean drinking water and there was no public sewage. Urgent emergency response is needed to help save lives in the moment, but also to save lives by preventing diseases from taking hold. Diseases like cholera and dysentery, which are water-borne...
