Women Over Age 50 Need 1 Hour Per Day of Exercise

A large Harvard study shows than women over age 50 who average 60 minutes a day of moderate-intensity activity (such as walking) were able to maintain a healthy weight over a 13 year period.

Exercise for Fibromyalgia Patients

Fibromyalgia is a health problem wherein multiple aspects of natural balance no longer function correctly, including the ability to recover from exercise. Those with nasty fibromyalgia often experience a significant flare up in their pain when they try to do more. Unfortunately, being inactive only makes matters worse. A new randomized trial proves how exercise can help improve fibromyalgia.

Poor Response to Exercise in Young Type 2 Diabetics

Type 2 diabetes is a difficult health problem because multiple aspects of calorie utilization simply don’t work properly. A study with young adults (ages 18 - 25) shows the cellular problem is worse than thought. Normally exercise conditions cells to make more energy by facilitating the development of additional mitochondria (cellular engines). This study showed that young Type 2 diabetic adults failed to activate the gene signals required for this exercise benefit, in turn making their metabolic problem more difficult to resolve

Even Moderate Exercise Can Reduce the Risk of Early Death

In a study that is very good news for generally inactive people – just getting yourself on a consistent and moderate daily exercise program can significantly reduce your risk of early death.

How Bad Fat Programs Future Generations to Be Obese

A new study indicates that one major factor causing today’s obesity epidemic is the garbage fat diet of Americans for the past century. The Western diet is almost void of omega 3 essential fatty acids. Instead, high levels of omega 6 oils, such as corn oil and soy oil, have found their way into the food supply. Scientists show that four generations of this high omega 6 oil/low omega 3 oil is adequate to change gene signaling in a way that creates offspring that are prone to obesity.

Potassium Offsets Salt-Induced Cardiovascular Distress

Potassium is highly concentrated in your cells, whereas sodium (salt) is concentrated between your cells. New science is showing that a lack of potassium is a primary reason why salt can cause high blood pressure and cardiovascular damage. This is especially important in the summer when higher heat can aggravate a potassium deficiency.

Muscle Fatigue is a Superior Way to Build Muscle with Exercise

Weight-lifting dogma has for decades stated that higher weights and lower repetitions were the superior way to build muscle. Now that the ability to map gene function in response to an activity is the new reality, this old myth just came crashing down—and with it a lot of people may now be encouraged to build strength and better muscle fitness that is so vital to longevity and good health.

Aerobic Exercise Cures Insomnia

A new study with 23 adults diagnosed with insomnia, age 55 and older, found that 40 minutes of aerobics four times per week was adequate to change them from poor sleepers to good sleepers.
