Extra Body Weight Might Be Protective

Image via Wikipedia

A little extra weight may protect people from early death, reports this news release, Underweight and Extremely Obese Die Earlier than People of Normal Weight, Study Finds. According to the study results, "underweight people and those who are extremely obese die earlier than people of normal weight - but those who are overweight actually live longer than people of normal weight." I guess for me, that means I need to put on a couple more pounds. How about you?

No doubt we'll have overeaten on Christmas, and we'll continue to do so through the holidays. Then in the new year, we'll all be tempted to lose some weight. We'll schedule workouts at the gym, go on diets, and start taking weight loss products. But stop and read before you take those weight loss products, warns the FDA, as reported in a recent American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) daily news briefing. In general, the FDA "has listed more than 25 weight loss products to avoid, because they contain ingredients that are not labeled, and could cause serious health problems." Some of the ingredients illegally contain drugs that should be sold by prescription only. The news briefing suggests the following links for further reading . . .

2 Hot Summer Podcasts - vacation weight gain, and survive the heat wave

Summer is still on! Checkout these 2 podcasts from the MedicineNet podcast library.

1. Avoiding Vacation Weight Gain. Listen to the the vacation podcast, which explains, "vacations should be an opportunity to re-energize, refresh, and relax -- not an excuse to take a break from health. When planning your vacation, opt for locations that will allow you to engage in physical activities you enjoy. Keep in mind that physical activity is the ticket to enjoying extra calories without weight gain."
2. Surviving A Heat Wave - Without Air Conditioning. Listen to the the heatwave podcast, which explains, "steps to take to keep your cool when it's hot. Avoid alcoholic beverages and caffeine, as both these substances can act as diuretics and promote dehydration."
