Diet and exercise

By Mayo Clinic staff
How can you lose weight? With diet and exercise. The key to success is developing healthy diet and exercise habits. You may be thinking that you don't like those words — diet and exercise. Don't get hung up on the words. Diet just means eating healthy, lower calorie meals. Exercise means being more active.
Although people often focus on diet when they're trying to lose weight, being active also is an essential component of a weight-loss program. When you're active, your body uses energy (calories) to work, helping to burn the calories you take in with food you eat.
Cleaning the house, making the bed, shopping, mowing and gardening are all forms of physical activity. Exercise, on the other hand, is a structured and repetitive form of physical activity that you do on a regular basis.
Whatever activity you choose, do it regularly. Aim for 30 to 60 minutes of moderately intense physical activity most days of the week.

Unethical use of humans as research guinea pigs has long darkened medicine’s history. Most famous are the experiments carried out on large numbers of prisoners by the German Nazi regime in extermination camps during World War II. Sadly, a new example has recently come to light – the deliberate infection of hundreds of people in Guatemala with sexual diseases like gonorrhoea and syphilis in medical tests that started the year after the war ended.

Its aim was to find a better treatment for venereal diseases. With troops having returned from the war field incapacitated by venereal diseases rather than battle-wounds, the US government was acutely aware of the dangers of soldiers indulging in sex with prostitutes. Although they had the drug penicillin to fight syphilis – as well as the calomel-sulpha-thiazole ointment provided in...

Hydration: Facts and Fiction

Resim
When if comes to hydration there are many more facts to report than fiction. The most important thing to remember about proper hydration is that, not all hydration is created equal. For example; one cup of coffee is not equal to one cup of water. That’s because coffee is a diuretic – so are many other beverages, such as tea and soda. Proper hydration is essential to good health, and necessary for the prevention of dehydration… Signs and symptoms of dehydration include: Mild to excessive thirst Fatigue Headache Dry mouth Little or no urination Muscle weakness Dizziness Lightheadedness Mild dehydration rarely results in complications – as long as the fluid is replaced quickly – but more-severe cases can be life-threatening, especially in the very young and the elderly. In extreme situations, fluids or electrolytes may need to be delivered intravenously. Obviously, staying hydrated is essential to any good exercise program…I found an interesting recipe for making your own spo...

In fact, choosing the right makeup -- and following some helpful makeup tips -- may be your best tool to reverse aging skin. Who knew that the drug store held all the magic tools you need to shave a few years off your face? Vincent Lee, a national makeup artist for Dior cosmetics, says many women don't realize makeup mistakes can make a dramatic difference in how old they look. The Hong Kong native has been in the beauty business for years, working in fashion shows, television and music videos. He joined Dior cosmetics in 2007. "Dark colors, shimmery shadows and powder can all accentuate wrinkles," Lee says. "Also, too much makeup can be aging. As you age, you lose density and collagen; you need products that are going to make your face look smoother, more lifted and more luminous." To prove it, we asked Lee to show us the transforming power of makeup on 53-year...
