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.

Study: High Vitamin Supplement Intake Increases Death Risk
It’s a commonly known fact that the United States is not only one of the most overweight nations in the world, but one of the most nutritionally undernourished as well.
Lacking the necessary vitamins and minerals in their regular daily dietary intake routine, many Americans have turned to taking vitamin supplements in order to ensure that they receive the nutrients that their bodies require to sustain various bodily functions, maintain energy levels and to ward off a variety of seasonal and chronic diseases.
However, a recent study indicates that high vitamin supplement intake, especially over a prolonged period of time, may possibly create more health problems than it alleviates, especially with vitamin supplement overdoses.
Overall, the study’s findings suggest that while vitamin and mineral supplements have their appropriate uses, the best way to receive proper nutrition and nourishment is still through regularly consuming highly nutritional, well balanced whole foods.

Want to Keep Your Hair? Start with Your Diet
Hair loss impinges upon the mental well-being of millions of individuals every year, lowering self-confidence in social situations and changing the physical appearance of those as young as teenagers. Contrary to popular belief, thinning hair isn’t just a problem for men – while 35 million American men are affected by hair loss, nearly 21 million American women are affected just the same. In fact, the American Hair Loss Association states that roughly 66% of the male population notice significant hair loss by age 35, while 85% experience the same by age 50.
Most people don’t even consider the health of their hair until they start losing it. However, new research shows that there are steps you can take – many of which are part of a hair loss diet – to help keep your hair and prevent thinning before it’s noticeable.

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.
