- The Carrot Diet
A woman eats carrots every 15 minutes for 3 months in order to cure her infertility. The solution seemed to work as she became pregnant. A tabloid special - Active kids say slim
"Children who did 15 minutes a day of moderate exercise -- equivalent to a brisk walk -- were 50 percent less likely than inactive children to be obese". This could just as easily mean that kids who are already overweight shy away from moderate exercise. - McRawChicken
This unfortunate person had their McChicken served raw. McDonald's response: "yeah...um...I don't know how that happened.". - Stroll Smart

ReplyGross. The McRawChicken, I mean.
ReplySushi Chicken? Ewwwww.....

ReplyI would've thought a stroller one pulls behind you would be better... Like the ones you can get for bikes.
ReplyWe put a post about British study finding that 15 minutes of activity can reduce the risk of obesity in children on our blog as well.
Not only is this an interesting study, but the entire study is available for free (a rarity - usually just the abstract can be found without a subscription.) The url is:

(You'll have to copy and paste both lines to get to the study - or just click our name at the top of this comment. We've got a direct link on our site. The way PLoS has the study published, it looks like just an abstract appears. Keep reading, because the entire study is published on the page).
ReplyI hear a lot of stories about the fertility issue. Most of them are about the long praises they given to their gods. They probably lack something and by eating, they probably got the missing part on their food.
ReplyParents are responsible for their child's health. Physical games must be promoted to prevent obesity. That's what kids do during our time. It's sad that technology found a way of diverting child's desire to play video games than physical games which are healthier.
ReplyOh brother. You can't blame parents for everything. We haven't had TV or video games for 10 years, we eat healthy food, and my dh and I both exercise daily. However, we have two girls who love junk food and would rather sit around and read than ride bikes. Thankfully, genetics is so far in their favor and they are skinny little girls.
I, on the other hand, grew up in a house with little TV, wholesome healthy meals, and rode my bike constantly all summer -- and I have been overweight since I was 12.
