The Benefits of Managing Your Weight By Annie Stuart Two out of three adults in the U.S. are overweight or obese. And our children are following closely in our footsteps. It’s a recipe for a public health disaster with ripple effects felt far and wide. It’s easy to see why weight gain has become epidemic: Cheap junk food, everywhere you turn. Technological innovations that make it possible to rarely lift a finger. Car-dependent suburbs. Busy schedules. Yes, the decks may seem stacked against you. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take charge and make a change. And, in many cases, a little weight loss goes a very long way. Did you know that losing weight can greatly improve survival for many obesity-related diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer? |

By now, you’ve heard a great deal about the 2009 H1N1 flu. Although this influenza has become a pandemic, it’s no time to panic. Are you a little unclear about how this flu is different than seasonal flu? Do you want to know how to protect yourself and your family? Here’s what you need to know. H1N1 was originally called swine flu because it was similar to viruses that spread between pigs – yes, pigs get the flu, too. The virus changed so it was able to infect people, and spread quickly from person to person. Now we know that H1N1 virus has a combination of genes from pig, human, and bird flu viruses. In June, H1N1 became a pandemic. It began causing illness in several parts of the world. Although 2009 H1N1 is a new type of flu, it causes many of the same symptoms as regular seasonal flu. If you get H1N1, you’re likely to have at least two flu symptoms, such as cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, chills, fatigue, and fever of 100 degrees or more. Sound familiar? You may also experience diarrhea and vomiting. Because this flu is so similar to regular flu, you may not be able to tell the difference between them. So what should you do if you get sick? First of all, stay home unless you need medical care! To prevent its spread, you need to stay home until at least 24 hours after your untreated fever is gone. |
