6 Snacks to Prevent a Sugar Addiction
If you’re a fitness enthusiast, you probably know how difficult it can sometimes be to say “no” to a rich, decadent dessert, let alone breaking a sugar addiction. Of course, everyone deserves a special treat from time to time, and there’s no reason not to indulge on occasion so long as you’re able to make up for the additional calories through exercise today or dietary considerations tomorrow.
The trick, then, is to make high-calorie, sugar-laden snacks and desserts an occasional splurge and not a regular component of your dietary regime. By doing so, you will reduce the overall number of calories that you consume on a daily basis. Secondly, you will not be consuming foods that are devoid of nutritional value, highly processed, and cause wild fluctuations in your blood sugar level.

Can PDE4 Inhibitors Deliver the Benefits of Red Wine?
It’s long been held that the benefits of red wine, drinking a glass each day, can provide physical benefits to your cardiovascular health and help to ward off a variety of heart diseases.
Much more recently, it was discovered that red wine contains resveratrol, a compound many scientists believe capable of improving overall health and extending life, perhaps by as many as 10 or even 20 years.
Unfortunately, the levels of resveratrol in red wine are actually extremely minimal, meaning that you’d need to consume about 1,000 bottles per day in order to see any significant benefits. Of course, doing so would leave you with far more health problems than resveratrol could ever cure (not to mention the fact that it’s physically impossible).
The good news is that a new study is indicating that the same benefits provided by a large dose of resveratrol may already be available in the form of drugs known as PDE4 inhibitors, also known as phosphodiesterase type 4 inhibitors. Although the study involved mice, researchers are hopeful that the results will transfer to humans..

Losing Weight? Watch Calories, not Carbs or Fat, Study Says
Over the years, countless fad weight loss diets of all kinds have touted the weight loss benefits and effectiveness of restricting all carbohydrates while consuming a diet high that is only high in protein, or restricting fat and allowing carbohydrates, or cutting out all sugar while allowing anything else.
However, a newly published clinical study is indicating that the real (and only) variable related to safely and effectively losing weight is counting the total number of calories consumed, regardless of their source. In other words, the study concluded that a 1,500-calorie-per-day diet will result in roughly the same amount of weight loss whether those 1,500 calories were derived from protein, carbohydrates or fat. (Caveat: consuming too much fat will still raise your risk of certain diseases, including heart disease.)

New USDA Mandates to Require Healthier School Lunches
With the obesity epidemic showing no signs of slowing down, one of the hottest topics in the news as of late has been healthier school lunches throughout the United States.
Individuals ranging from television chef Jamie Oliver to First Lady Michelle Obama have sharply criticized school lunch programs for their tendency to serve meals that are packed with highly processed foods, fat, sugar and sodium while lacking in a variety of important vitamins and minerals.
New school lunch standards adopted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will begin to address and change all of that, as schools will be required to follow a stricter set of guidelines dictating the portions and types of foods served to America’s children and teens.

6 Tips for Safe Exercise During Winter
With winter fully upon us and many of the areas of the country experiencing record snow storms, it can be all too tempting to stay inside where it’s warm and cozy rather than exercising outdoors during the cold winter months.
However, if you have regularly exercised throughout the year and are well on your way to achieving your personal health and fitness goals, the last thing that you want to do is discontinue your workout routine through the winter months. Although setting up a personal gym at your home or becoming a member at a fitness center are great ways to stay in good shape during the colder months, many fitness seekers actually prefer the fresh air and exhilaration that comes with exercising outdoors during the winter, performing exercises like jogging, cycling, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing.
