Importance of Vitamin D

In the October, 2008 issue of the American Medical Association journal Archives of Neurology, researchers from Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta report that men and women with Parkinson’s disease have a greater incidence of vitamin D insufficiency compared with Alzheimer’s disease patients and healthy people. The discovery adds another disease to the growing list of the conditions that have been recently associated with reduced levels of the vitamin.

AVOIDING MIDDLE-AGE WEIGHT GAIN

As we age and our metabolisms slow, weight gain is inevitable if we don't do something to control it. Even if you're working out, you may need a new or more intense routine to keep the weight off (especially around the waist). So what can you do??

1. Increase strength training to 2-3 days per week for at least 30 - 45 minutes each session. Use weights, resistance bands, or noodles (in water) to strengthen muscles and bones and reduce fat around the waist.

2. Increase the pace and work harder each session. By increasing the intensity, the heart and cardiovascular fitness is improved.

3. Keep one day at a relaxed pace to avoid burnout. Choose a relaxing exercise for a comfortable pace to let yourself relax and even 'zone out'.

Don't forget that nutrition plays a key role in controlling weight gain. So, don't skip breakfast and maintain a healthy diet to see results. It may not be easy, but it's worth it!
