  • Women, Weight & Size Acceptance: Accept Your Wonderful Self

    Clearing the Path for Successful Weight Management

    Dieters striving for success in their efforts to manage their weight may have more than just unwanted pounds to lose. First, they have to shed some common myths about dieting.

    Myths about dieting instil false hopes in people striving to manage their weight, misleading them to formulate lofty expectations that only serve to frustrate their efforts and stunt their progress.

    Indeed, there is little evidence - if any at all - to support three common myths about dieting, as reviewed in a recent edition of Healthy Weight Journal ...

    When we think of Holiday shopping, we think of all the glowing lights at our area malls and the various eye-catching decorations in shopping centers.

  • Anxiety
    Some degree of anxiety is perfectly normal. We all experience situations where we may feel fear and apprehension. However, there are some people who feel anxious even when there is no discernible cause. In these cases, the anxiety usually becomes overwhelming and may interfere with the normal functioning of one’s life. People who suffer from a debilitating level of anxiety are suffering from an anxiety disorder. Negative emotional patterns, anger, fear, stress and anxiety all contribute to degenerative illness such as cancer, heart disease etc..

    Genetics News:

    [Dispatch] Sex Chromosome Inactivation: The Importance of Pairing
    By Jeannie T. Lee. In mammals, the process of making sperm is marked by inactivation of sex chromosomes. Why and how does this happen? The answer apparently lies in whether a chromosome finds a pairing partner. Similar mechanisms in mold and worms reveal a surprising and recurrent theme throughout evolution.


    Study Says Male Chromosome Sticking Around (AP)
    AP - The human Y chromosome — the DNA chunk that makes a man a man — has lost so many genes over evolutionary time that some scientists have suspected it might disappear in 10 million years. But a new study says it'll stick around.


    X-Chromosome has the big story!!
    The human genome is said by some to be the "book of life," and the X-chromosome a large part of the the plot. A team of genome researchers have described the nature of this mysterious "chapter" in the DNA story.


    An insecure role for Securin in chromosome segregation
    A paper published in the open access journal PLoS Biology shows that previously reported chromosome instability and loss due to Securin gene knockout is a transient effect; human cells may have compensatory mechanisms to overcome Securin gene loss.


    The Chromosome 7 Annotation Project
    The Chromosome 7 database is a community-curated project which contains the most up to date collation of sequence, gene, and other annotations from all databases (eg. Celera published, NCBI, Ensembl, RIKEN, UCSC) as well as unpublished data.


     

     
     


  • Understanding Nutrition
    With the release of the new dietary guidelines, in the form of the new food pyramid, I still find that many people don't actually understand what nutrition actually means. Because of this, dietary choices can seem overwhelming. Even greater confusion can be generated by prime time news specials which only strive to educate through clever sound-bites and diet fads which lead some to believe that all of their answers are found in one single "magic food." So what is nutrition and how can you understand it in a way that helps you apply it to your life and to the benefit of those you know and love? ...

    Have you ever considered how to make your woman even more satisfied with your sexual encounters?

    When it comes to sex, men are expected to please women. Superb performance in sexual intercourse not only satisfies women but also gives men a sense of pride. In other words, skill in sex boosts males’ ego, and adds up to their ...

  • The Profect Solution for Diabetics
    Diabetes, which affects more than 6% of the US population or over 18,000,000 people [i], is diagnosed when the body is not creating or effectively utilizing the hormone called insulin. As a result, much-needed energy from sugar, starch, and other sources are not being exploited as effectively as they should. This can lead to severe adverse health consequences, including nerve, ocular, and kidney problems [ii].

    While genetics and environmental factors play a role, the exact cause of diabetes is as yet undetermined. However, one thing is precisely clear to those with this condition: eati ...
