For those suffering from Type 1, new rules and regulations prohibiting insurance companies from denying people because of preexisting conditions will keep lifelong diabetics from being rejected for their affliction. Those at risk for Type 2 diabetes - nearly 60 million Americans - are now able to receive preventative care offered without co-pay or fee with any new insurance plan, a move that in ...

As always, it was well crafted and laid out a general theme of the year ahead but this speech was different, or at least that was the hope. The president's address harkened back to a similar time when America was passed by in the space race in 1957 at a time when America and Russia were locked in a very hot ...

Studies have suggested that it is the poor eating habits of many people which lead to such problems. Some studies and people also propose that genetics also has a role to play in the trend towards more obese and overweight people. Many dieticians, doctors and personal trainers, nonetheless, argue that even though genes can influence a person's body shape and size, the person ...

Also, swimming strengthens the major muscles in the body, and as a result efficiently absorbs blood sugar in the muscle cells. The same fits for water aerobics. Swimming ...
