Lose Weight Recently? Time for a New Fitness Plan

Although recent studies indicate that yo-yo dieting is still a healthier practice than remaining obese, everyone would strive to maintain their new, trimmer physique and the multitude of health and wellness benefits that accompany an appropriate body weight.

Want Your Kids to Eat their Veggies? Don’t Force Them, Study Says
We are all familiar with, at times, the never ending battle to get our kids to consistently eat their vegetables. Although your first instinct might be to use pressure to get your children to eat their vegetables, perhaps even threatening discipline as a consequence of not doing so, a new study reports that you may be doing more harm than good.
The study, conducted at England’s Loughborough University, located in Leicestershire, indicated that parents who urge their children to eat a certain type of food greatly reduce their chances of their kids actually doing so.
The study included a population of 104 mothers, all with children between the ages of 3 and 6. The parents answered a series of questions regarding their children’s eating habits.
Once all of the questionnaires were completed by the parents, the responses were then gathered and compiled. Thereafter, the results were clinically analyzed to determine the results and conclusions of the study.
