Keeping Alzheimer s at Bay
Some assume that Alzheimer's disease merely affects the memory of a person. This can be true, but only in the early stages of the disease. In the case of Auguste Deter in 1901, the first person to be diagnosed, her symptoms began lightly, and only gradually did it begin to take its toll. Admitted into a mental institution, she was treated by Dr. Alois Alzheimer, who treated her with several tests. At first memory loss seemed the only culprit. But in time her condition grew worse. Overtaking her entire brain, it seemed Auguste Deter had lost any ability to function on her own will. This tragedy of Alzheimer's amounts to a person's inability to remain themselves.

The Battle to Stop Smoking Begins With You
Summoning the will power to quit smoking is one of the most challenging tasks that many adults will face. Cigarettes are easily accessible and socially accepted, and that it can be hard to stay away from them. With other forms of chemical dependency addicts must remove themselves completely from the culture that supports their habit. When you can buy your drug of choice at the local supermarket though, this becomes a much greater challenge. Though there are stories of folks who were able to simply walk away, the more common tale is one of struggle and repeated failure. Perhaps the most important thing that you can do if you have decided that you want to stop smoking is to enlist the help of a friend or family member to hold you accountable.

A diet that teaches health over weight loss
South Beach Diet"s founder, Dr. Agaston, wasn"t creating a diet plan with weight in mind, he was preparing a diet plan with health in mind. Particularly, cardiovascular health. He discovered, quite by accident, that the same foods that lead to a healthy heart (and the same foods that help prevent the highs and lows so prevalent in hypo- or hyper- insulinism) are synonymous with foods that balance a person"s weight. He was pleased when his patients not only lost weight, but were healthier, more energetic and had developed a life-long association with foods that provide the body with what it wants and needs. A visitor to the South Beach Diet website will quickly learn exactly what will occur should they chose to participate in this diet plan.
7 Tricks To Break The Mindless Eating Trap
Bunny Vreeland"s Weight Reduction Hints Dr. Bunny Vreeland says, first thing - Slow down and pay attention. Eating your food more slowly not only helps you savor it, but also helps you to eat less. At the University of Rhode Island, researchers invited 30 women to have dinner in their laboratory where they were served a tasty pasta dish. The ladies were told to eat quickly, and they finished, on average, in nine minutes. In a second test, the same women were served the same dish but told to slow down and chew each mouthful 15 to 20 times. They were told to stop eating when they felt full. It took them about a half-hour to finish the meal. The results? When the women ate slowly, they consumed 67 fewer calories than when they wolfed down their food.

Thoroughbred Racing: The Athleticism of Horse Jockeys
No athletes work harder than jockeys' and few athletes are less understood. According to one study, which ranked sports according to the number of deaths per 1000 participants, thoroughbred horse racing is the most dangerous athletic activity, beating out skydiving, hang gliding, mountaineering, scuba, college football and boxing among others. In an average year, the Jockeys' Guild gets 2500 notifications of injury, and a typical jockey will be sidelined by injuries at least three times. It's not just dumb luck that keeps a great rider in the saddle of a 1400-pound thoroughbred horse as it races at speeds of up to 55 MPH. These highly-coordinated men and women must remain standing in the saddle, striking an exquisitely difficult balance to keep from falling forward or backward in the saddle (which could easily prove fatal).
Boobs: When Bigger Isn t Better
Open any men's magazine and you'd be forgiven for thinking that when it comes to boobs - bigger is better. Yet contrary to the popular ideas of men across the world - an over-ample bosom is not always desirable, and indeed there are a growing number of women who are going under the knife to reduce, rather than enlarge their chest. There are a variety of reasons to undergo a breast reduction due to oversized breasts (a condition known as breast hypertrophy): for some it's purely a cosmetic choice; unusually large breasts can make a woman feel very self-conscious and impede social interaction. For others, especially women with very large, pendulous breasts, there are a variety of medical problems caused by the excessive weight of the tissue.
Cardio and Weights: A Powerful Fitness Punch
A wealth of studies has established the benefits of exercise. Yet two related-and very practical-questions remain: What is the best kind of exercise and how much exercise do we need each day? If you don't currently exercise and aren't very active during the day, any increase in exercise or physical activity is good for you. Some studies show that walking briskly for even one to two hours a week (15 to 20 minutes a day) starts to decrease the chances of having a heart attack or stroke, developing diabetes, or dying prematurely. Most experts recommend getting a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most days of the week. You can do all 30 minutes at once or break it up into 10- or 15-minute periods.
