Want to Lose Weight? Don’t Forget Your Immune System
You’ve finally done it. You purchased a membership at a fitness center, you’re watching what you eat, you’re actually enjoying exercise routines, and you’re finally getting accustomed to your new healthy lifestyle. Even better, you’re starting to fit into that pair of jeans that have been collecting dust in the closet for years. And then you get sick.
Your weight loss progress is halted for two weeks as you recover from your illness as you battle with your immune system health, and you come out feeling less motivated than ever, returning to your old eating habits and dreading your next session on the elliptical. In order to avoid this all-too-common scenario, you need the think of immune system health as a crucial pillar of your weight loss program, just as important as sticking to your exercise routine and paying attention to your diet.

Children of Obese Mothers have Higher Asthma Risk
We have all heard the statistics associated with the increases in the number of individuals that are either overweight or obese. In addition, most individuals also understand that being obese increases their personal risk of developing a wide variety of diseases and health disorders, including several types of cancer, heart disease, stroke, hypertension, high cholesterol, osteoarthritis, diabetes and more.
However, many women may not realize that obesity during their pregnancy can also increase the probability of their children contracting a variety of diseases at a very young age as well – including asthma. In fact, a recent Swedish study indicates that obese mothers have a significantly higher likelihood of birthing a child that will develop asthma when compared to mothers that were of a normal body weight.

Heart Problems More Common in Top Endurance Athletes
Competing at a high level across virtually any sport will require specific skill sets that are unique to that sport. In addition, each type of sport will place different stresses on the body.
For example, some sports tend to place a high level of stress on the various joints of the body though repetitive motion such as running long distances and biking long distances. Other types of sports that involve high impact place a high level of stress on virtually the entire body through blunt force trauma.
There are sports that tend to be more anaerobic and sports that tend to be more aerobic. Anaerobic activities involve short-burst movements where the cardiovascular system does not achieve an “aerobic effect”, while aerobic type sports place a high level of stress on the entire cardiovascular system (heart and lungs).

The Freshman 15 is Only the Beginning, Study Says
The current academic year is now underway, and millions of college freshmen have headed off to universities throughout the country in hopes of working towards a degree. Fitness-minded college students have another big goal in mind, however: avoiding the dreaded “Freshman 15.”
The Freshman 15, of course, is referencing the 15 pounds that many college students typically gain after heading off to college for the first time.
This commonly occurs because most college students are leaving behind their relatively carefree schedules, high school athletics programs and home-cooked meals for the toils of balancing a busy class schedule with work, new social opportunities, and of course – dorm food.
Indeed, the temptation of three high-fat, endless-calorie meals per day served buffet-style at the college campus cafeterias can be too much for the hungry, tired and highly-stressed college newcomers to resist.

Do Fitness Video Games Really Work?
Since the 1980′s, video games have traditionally been the enemy of many of health and fitness advocates. Fitness experts balk at the thought of young individuals, who once spent the majority of their free time outdoors and playing sports, sitting idly on the couch in front of the television set, mashing away at the buttons on their controllers for hours on end.
However, as with all things in life, the video game industry has changed and evolved over the last several years and, in fact, has begun producing fitness-based interactive videos.
In the past half-decade, all major video game consoles have introduced fitness hardware add-ons, including the Wii Fit for the Nintendo Wii, PlayStation Move for the Sony PS3, and Xbox Kinect for the Microsoft Xbox 360.
A countless number of video fitness games that have been designed to take advantage of this hardware has led to households everywhere beginning to compile a large stock of games centered mostly around dance, aerobics and a variety of other forms of cardiovascular activity.
