* Fatty Fast Food, Idleness May Vex Liver: Weight, Waist Size, Fat, and Liver
Enzymes Spike in Study of People Asked to Be Idle and Overeat Fattening Fast
Food *
Consistently overdoing it at the fast-food counter and leading an idle life may
not bode well for the liver, not to mention the waist size.
So say Swedish researchers who studied 18 lean, healthy students -- mainly
medical students -- who agreed to supersize themselves for science's sake.
The students were asked to gain 5% to 15% of their body weight in a month by
eating at least two daily meals at fast-food restaurants and adopting a
sedentary lifestyle. Their fast-food diet featured hamburgers and other foods
high in saturated animal fat. The researchers reimbursed the cost of those
meals.

* Zinc helps with diarrhea in children: study *
Treatment with zinc supplements can cut the severity and duration of acute or
persistent diarrhea in children, a study shows. Further research, however, is
needed to determine exactly how zinc produces its anti-diarrheal effects, the
researchers note in the February issue of Pediatrics.
The findings stem from a pooled analysis of data from 22 relevant studies,
including 16 that focused on the benefits of zinc in 15,231 children with acute
diarrhea and six that looked at 2,968 children with persistent diarrhea.

* Laser can detect diseases in your breath: Device identifies compounds that may
indicate cancer, asthma, study shows *
A new laser technique could enable doctors to detect certain diseases, such as
lung cancer or asthma, simply by analyzing a patient's breath.
A new study shows the laser system can identify trace levels of compounds that
may be signs of disease in breath samples, and companies and investors have
already expressed interest in developing the device for routine use in doctor's
offices, said Jun Ye, a physicist at JILA, a joint institute of the National
Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado at Boulder,
who led the research.

* Your Mood Can Impact Your Heart: Dr. Mallika Marshall Explains, On The

There's evidence of a link between how you feel emotionally and how healthy your
heart is.
Medical contributor Dr. Mallika Marshall explained it on The Saturday Early
Show, in the final part of the weeklong Early Show series, "Early Keeps the
Beat,
Marshall says there's "clearly a mind-body connection. The brain collects

*** Health/Safety Tips & Articles for the Week ***

* Weight Loss *
If you're like me, you'd sooner write a nutrition book than follow one! If
you've read at least one nutrition or diet book in your lifetime, then you
probably know what to eat. You may even have it down to a science: a cup of
this, four ounces of that, two tablespoons of this, and so on. Yet when you
really want to eat, you're sitting down on the couch with a bag or box, not your
measuring cup.

* Yoga *
Why use a yoga mat? In India where Yoga originated, yogis used cotton rugs or
nothing for their asana practice. The current use of mats in India is due to the
influence of traveling Americans to India for yoga vacations and study. Yoga
mats first arrived in the United States in the late 1970's brought over from
Germany. In America we use yoga mats because most of us have not started doing
yoga at the age of 5 or 6 like many boys in India do, and we like the help it
gives us while doing our Asana practice. A yoga mat is supposed to help you have
better traction in poses like downward facing dog or triangle pose so that you
can focus on your alignment instead of on slipping. ...

Try an Anti-Inflammatory Diet: It Could be the Answer to Eliminating Your Pain
When I say "inflammation," thoughts of painful joints, muscles, swelling, and
loss of mobility probably come to mind. But did you know that recent research
shows that chronic inflammation in your body can lead to serious disease such as
diabetes, heart disease, some cancers, and Alzheimer's disease, to name just a
few?
