Discrepancies Discovered Between People And Animals On Calorie Restriction Calorie restriction, a diet that is low in calories and high in nutrition, may not be as effective at extending life in people as it is in rodents, according to scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Previous research had shown that laboratory animals given 30 percent to 50 percent less food can live up to 50 percent longer. Because of those findings, some people have adopted calorie restriction in the hope that they can lengthen their lives. Study Links Obesity To Recurrent Miscarriage New research released at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) 7th International Scientific Meeting in Montreal, has found that obesity significantly increases the risk of a subsequent pregnancy loss in women with recurrent miscarriages. In Overweight Adults, Calorie Restriction Alone Does Not Induce Bone Loss A diet that is low in calories but still nutritionally substantial appears to incur weight loss and fat loss without significant bone loss in young adults, according to an article released on September 22, 2008 in Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. Biological aging can be slowed by calorie restriction. However, it is also known that chronic energy deficiency diminishes mineral uptake into bones, thereby weakening them. Just One Session Of Exercise Can Improve Metabolic Health In Overweight Patients With Insulin Sensitivity One out of every three Americans is obese. These individuals are at greater risk for additional diseases, since obesity leads to other health problems, such as diabetes. Obesity-related complications are associated with an abnormal fat metabolism in the muscle. As a result, accumulated fat by-products inside the muscle affect insulin resistance. To avoid the build up of fat by-products, fat must either be oxidized (burned, as in exercise) or stored (as benign fat) in muscle. James W. Saxton Guest Presenter At National Bariatric Summit James W.

Mr. Behavioral Modification Programs Help Obese Children Manage Their Weight Obese school-age kids and teens can lose weight or prevent further weight gain if they participate in medium- to high-intensity behavioral management programs, according to a new report released today by HHS' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Children in the medium- to high-intensity behavioral management programs studied met for more than 25 hours, usually once or twice a week, for 6 months to 12 months. Snoring, Sleep Apnoea And Obesity In Teenagers Sleep-related breathing disorders, snoring and sleep apnoea are frequent and well-known disorders in children and adults. However, they have been poorly studied in teenagers so far. Angeles Sánchez-Armengol (Virgen del Rocio University Hospital, Seville, Spain) and colleagues have previously reported sleep-related breathing disorders in 267 teenagers (aged 11-19 years) between 1997 and 2000. GI Dynamics Announces Promising Multi-Center Safety And Efficacy Data Of EndoBarrier? Gastrointestinal Liner For Pre-Surgical Weight Loss GI Dynamics, a medical device company pioneering the development of new approaches to treat obesity and metabolic disorders, today announced new data regarding the EndoBarrier?, its novel, noninvasive device currently in clinical trials to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes. New data from a multi-center, randomized clinical trial indicate that the EndoBarrier is a safe, noninvasive device with excellent short-term weight loss results in morbidly obese patients. Link Between Weight Gains During Pregnancy And Dieting History Indicated By New Study Women who have a history of dieting or other restricted eating practices are at risk of gaining an inappropriate amount of weight during pregnancy. New Book By Zone Diet Creator Takes A Controversial Look At Obesity For the past three years Dr. Barry Sears, author of the New York Times bestseller, The Zone, has been compiling research for his revolutionary new book, Toxic Fat: When Good Fat Turns Bad, which landed on shelves September 30, 2008.
