IS OBESITY GENETICALLY DETERMINED? The curious case of Dr. M.R.

Dr. M.R. is a famous scientist known for his work in the field of obesity. He has meticulously studied the carbohydrate and insulin model of obesity. His problem is that he is obese and unable to lose body fat despite diet, modest exercise, and his focused knowledge of nutrition. Dr. M.R. attributes his dilemma to his genetics since everyone in his family is obese and has given-up in regard to changing his risk for chronic metabolic diseases. He has embraced his obesity and his current lifestyle and medications. This situation may be politically correct and the least stressful solution for […]

A Healthy Lifestyle is Important in How Diet Works

There are conflicting views on the value of weight-loss diets. Some believe that if individuals have enough willpower to stick with a diet, they can lose an unlimited amount of weight. Others believe that weight loss attempts are rarely successful and weight regain invariably occurs. There are many questions to ask when evaluating “does dieting work?” Do dieters continue to lose weight? Does some of the lost weight return? Do some dieters gain back more weight than they lost? In one study, women participating in a weight-loss program reported their goal weight as an average 32% reduction in body weight. […]

Dr. Robert Drapkin Turns Heads on the Cover of Fitness Trainer Magazine

Dr. Robert Drapkin knows a thing or two about aging. However, the 70-year-old doctor and bodybuilder also seems to know how to out-train this natural occurrence. In other words, Drapkin has found a way to build lean muscle mass in a demographic (those 55 years of age and older) that is naturally at risk of muscle mass loss and function, a condition known as agerelated sarcopenia or sarcopenia with aging; while addressing additional ageing factors in the process. “Cells are genetically programmed to divide a number of times. An aging cell loses the ability to divide and dies,” Drapkin explains. […]

Should You Switch Doctors Once You Turn 65? – US News

 Reaching retirement age means a number of life changes for most people. They may stop working, start collecting Social Security benefits and begin Medicare coverage. Should finding a new doctor who specializes in senior health care be one of those changes? “An 18-year-old isn’t going to have the same health concerns as a 65-year-old,” says Michelle Riddle, owner of Complete Dignity Healthcare Advocacy.

Dr. Drapkin’s OVER 40 AND SEXY AS HELL! Discusses Importance of Fat in the Diet

One of the leading causes of the rising rate of obesity in the United States is overconsumption of fat. With issues such as heart disease, diabetes and high cholesterol, many are under the impression that dietary fat is something to avoid at all costs.

EXERCISE AND BRAIN FUNCTION

Exercise will improve your memory [K. I. Erickson et al; PNAS 108(7); 2011; P3017-3011]. In the elderly the memory part of the brain called the hippocampus shrinks in size as memory decreases. Exercise and nutrition will increase the size of the hippocampus and cause memory improvement thus reversing the effects of aging. The University of British Columbia, researchers found that regular vigorous aerobic exercise [heart rate near maximal] increases the size of the hippocampus, the brain area involved in verbal memory and learning. Resistance training, balance and muscle toning exercises did not have the same results. [Br J Sports Med […]
