* Are trans fat substitutes really healthier? *
A major change in the national diet is under way: Heart-damaging trans fat is
rapidly disappearing from grocery aisles and restaurant food, too. But are its
replacements really healthier?
It's a tricky time for consumers, because the answer depends on the food -- and
some are losing trans fat only to have another artery clogger take its place,
that old nemesis saturated fat.

* Breastfeeding may protect against breast cancer *
Breastfeeding may offer broad protection against breast cancer that extends to
women who delay having children, according to a study released on Monday.
Previous studies have shown that giving birth before age 25 and having many
children protects against certain types of breast cancers, while delayed
childbirth is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer.

* Stress *
I read recently that stress can age your cells by 10 years, which is startling
to consider. But what is even more astounding is what several people shared with
me in the last two weeks. All have serious diseases, and they are convinced they
got sick because they overdid things for years and didn’t stop despite high
levels of stress. One of them has Multiple Sclerosis (MS); one has Lou Gehrig’s
disease, (ALS) and another has Raynaud’s -- a circulatory auto immune disease.

So congratulations! You’ve lost some weight! Now, how do you keep it off?
When you’ve spent weeks or even months striving and sacrificing, you don’t want
to have your spirits sink as you see the scale start to go up. For most of us,
regardless of our weight loss method, weight regain is a real possibility. But
is it inevitable?

*** Book Review: The Pilates Body: The Ultimate At-Home Guide to Strengthening,
Lengthening, and Toning Your Body--Without Machines – By Brooke Siler ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
Thin-but-fit supermodels like Amber Valletta and Shalom Harlow and actresses
like Courtney Thorne-Smith and Liv Tyler swear by Pilates workouts to keep their
figures toned and flexible. "The Pilates Body" is the latest in a string of
books dedicated to this fitness program, which is now soaring in popularity 100
years after it was first developed by Joseph Pilates in Germany in the early
1900s.
While today's Pilates studios take advantage of patented and
intimidating-looking equipment that costs thousands of dollars (and therefore
charge accordingly for private sessions), each exercise in "The Pilates Body"
can be performed with just an exercise mat. While all parts of the body are used
in the exercises, the focus is on the abdominals, or "powerhouse," which support
the back; this makes Pilates an ideal exercise for those with back problems--or
those hoping to prevent them.
Author Brooke Siler, who trained with Romana Kryzanowska, the oldest living
protégé of Joseph Pilates, organizes her book impeccably. After discussing
proper alignment and ways to modify the exercises for those with neck, knee, or
lower back pain, she jumps right into the 60-plus exercises, which are divided
into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.
What differentiates Siler's book from the other Pilates titles is that she
includes a disclaimer about the models: "The models in this book have been
training in the Pilates method for years. Although their bodies may seem to
represent an unrealistic ideal for many, they have worked hard to achieve their
fitness goals. I hope in earnest that they do not intimidate but inspire." Also,
each exercise is given a two-page spread of its own, and is accompanied by clear
photographs and helpful graphics. For example, for the "inner-thigh lifts,"
there's an illustration suggesting that you imagine a stack of books on the
lifting leg to help you increase resistance.
Each exercise also includes what Siler calls "The Inside Scoop," or tips she's
learned from training hundreds of clients. These include the main goal of the
exercise; simple modifications for beginners; important keys to remember while
doing the move; and no-nos to prevent injury. While it's important to
concentrate and get the technique of each exercise down, Siler's book is perfect
for anyone looking for a simple exercise program that promises results, requires
a minimum amount of time, and can be done at home or while traveling. --Erica
Jorgensen

Tomato Dandelion Salad
This is an easy salad to make that will complement numerous recipes as a side
dish. It is especially good when tomatoes are in season and vine ripened. The

greens add healthy benefits that make this salad special. Make sure you use
young tender dandelion greens for this if they are available.
