Could these be making us obese?
Back when I was a health insurance underwriter in the mid-1980s, the adult obesity rate in this country was 10 percent (according to the CDC). Some states had rates as high as 14 percent, but the average was about 10.
Now?
We’re looking at nearly 40 PERCENT of adults, and about one out of five children!

Enjoy your vacation without gaining an ounce!
As you are reading this right now, I am 35,000 feet in the air on my way to Aruba.
Aruba is one of my favorite places in the whole world. I’ve been to other lovely tropical places—the US Virgin Islands, Hawaii, Mexico, the Bahamas—but nothing beats Aruba’s beauty, local community and incredibly friendly people.

Finally get the flat stomach you’ve always wanted!
We’ve learned a lot in the last 36 years or so, and that includes the fact that sit-ups do absolutely nothing to get rid of belly fat. You’ll build abdominal muscles of steel, but the stubborn blubber on top of them will remain a part of you.

The worst (and best) ways to lose weight
A close friend recently reported to me that her doctor was concerned that her blood pressure was slightly elevated. He was quick to recommend medication, but my friend said, “I think if I just lose some weight, I’ll be fine,” so the doctor agreed to let her try. This is where it gets juicy.
