* Red Wine a Weapon in Battle of the Bulge: Health Benefits of Resveratrol May Include Fighting Fat, Study Shows *

An antioxidant found in red wine and grapes known as resveratrol - already thought to help keep the heart healthy and ward off cancer - may also turn out to be a fat fighter, according to new research.

In the laboratory, exposure to resveratrol prevented pre-fat cells, termed pre-adipocytes, from increasing and from converting into mature fat cells, according to Martin Wabitsch, MD, PhD, a researcher from the University of Ulm in Ulm, Germany. Wabitsch presented the findings this week at ENDO 08, The Endocrine Society's 90th annual meeting in San Francisco.

* 'Big Breakfast' Diet Helps Shed Pounds: Study Shows 600-Calorie Breakfasts Reduce Food Cravings Later in the Day *

Eating a 600-calorie breakfast rich in carbohydrates and protein helps dieters lose more weight long term than eating a modest breakfast and following a lower-carb eating plan, according to a new study.

Breakfast and weight loss have long been linked, but the new research zeroes in on how to help dieters stick with a plan and not regain the lost weight by adjusting the amount of carbohydrates, protein, and calories eaten early in the day.

* When stress hits, we fall into 'coping combos': Our patterns of sleeping/eating (or not) are based in biology, emotion *

For Tiffanie Williams, a marketing executive from Boston, it’s chips and salsa and sappy movie marathons. For Paul Niemi, a communications specialist from Manhattan, it's Chinese food and long weekends in bed. And for Susan Biali, a physician and life coach who splits her time between Vancouver, Canada, and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, it's skipped meals and late nights glued to the computer.

 

Say hello to the many faces of stress. ...

* Body Cleansing *

Why Do We Need to Cleanse?

Most people spend so much time and effort cleansing their external environment, i.e., their bodies, clothes, houses, cars, etc., but do not spend enough or any time cleansing their internal environment: their blood, intestines, kidneys, lungs, liver, etc. With the evolution of modern society, the internal body is being stressed even more than ever before and overloaded with chemicals, toxins, air pollution, radiation. Then there are the toxins we ingest through our mouths: the processed and demineralized foods, herbicides, pesticides, food colorings, preservatives, and greasy, acidic based foods. ...

* Wellness *

Are you dizzy from all of the health information you get each and every day? How do you sort it all out? How do you know what's right from wrong? I get to watch and listen too (and get a little dizzy from time to time). However, experience as a Doctor has given me the gift to understand that while science and information changes around us at lightening fast speed, the body remains an incredibly consistent and simple "machine" to operate.

To read the complete article entitled "Vitamin You - Let's Work Together" - By Dr. Brett Saks, go here.


* Cardio *

The goal in any fat loss exercise regimen is to choose activities that consume large amounts of oxygen. This is because the body burns 5 calories for every liter of oxygen that it consumes.

Therefore, what do you think would be the best type of cardio to do for fat loss?

Well, let's look at the typical options. Running, biking, swimming, elliptical, rowing, walking, stair climbing/stair master, upper body ergometer, and obviously many outdoor sports such as cross-country skiing.
