30 Apr 08 I Need My KitKat and Fiber too

This is too true what they say at this blog:

All in the family
The women in my family have a long history with chocolate, ya’ll.

We don’t so much keep green, leafy stuff in the vegetable crisper. If you wandered into my late grandmother’s house, and opened the bottom left refrigerator drawer, you knew you were in for a handful of mini Kit Kats, Reese’s Cups and Three Musketeers. My mom’s house? Same thing. My sister’s house? You got it. My house? Like clockwork. We even managed to nudge my brother’s wife into following along.

The good news is there are fiber supplement! I tell folks that I take vitamins to offset the bad choices I make. Kinda like carbon offsets, uh Al?

25 Apr 08 Overweight Children on the Rise

Researchers at Duke and University of North Carolina have published a study that found that the rate of obesity among children has risen 400% in the past fourty years. This is a great cause of allarm as the health risks to these children as they move into adulthood are eaquilly high. The researchers also found that 2 to 5 year olds are three time more likely to be obese than thier counter parts fro mthe 1960s.

They said overweight children have a greater risk of developing diabetes (type 2) heart disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Diet and exercise must be altered now for these children to avoid poor health lasting a lifetime. One of the things children can take to mitigate this problem is FibraSlim, a glucomannan supplement that has been shown safe and effective for children.
