Trying to Eat Less Becomes More Important to Fend Off Middle-Age Weight Gain
Lots of experts disagree over the seemingly obvious notion of keeping weight off by trying to eat less – a debate that centers on whether the practice backfires, leading to binging and weight gain. Now a new study shows that practicing restraint becomes more important with age. Women who participated in the study had more than twice the risk of substantial weight gain if they did not become more restrained in their eating. “Some suggest that restrained eating is not a good practice,” said Brigham Young University professor Larry Tucker, the study’s lead author. “Given the environmental forces in America’s food industry, not practicing restraint is essentially a guarantee of failure.”

The Wound That Never Heals
I'm nursing an almost fatal wound. In fact, I'm surprised that I'm still here, still nursing it and feeling it slowly scab over, only to have it ripped open and the healing process begin again.

Soy Diminishes His Sperm Count

Soy sinks his sperm count, a study in the journal Human Reproduction reports.

Of men at a fertility clinic who reported their intake of soy products, those who ate the most (about equal to one tofu burger every two days) had 41 million fewer swimmers per milliliter of semen than those who ate zip.

Soy has high levels of plant estrogens, which animal studies show may affect sperm production and overall fertility, says Jorge Chavarro, M.D., of the Harvard School of Public Health.

Has Your Body Become a Stranger?

Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can be a profound and meaningful stage in a woman’s life. Nothing is quite so miraculous as bringing another human being into the world. But it’s also hard on a woman’s body, and sometimes can leave a mother feeling like she’s been transplanted into a body she no longer recognizes as hers.

While some women are lucky enough to bounce back easily, to others it seems like no amount of dieting and exercise, no matter how diligent, will ever bring back their pre-pregnancy figures. Because of the rapid changes that occur during pregnancy, muscle tone and contour can be difficult to recover, particularly in the breasts and the abdominal area where pregnancy brings about the most dramatic shifts.

If the aftereffects of pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding have left you feeling like a stranger in your own body, cosmetic surgery can offer many options to regain your self-confidence and restore your body to its familiar condition.
