Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:35:19 -0600

Peter Jennings presented a report on Monday, December thregarding obesity in America. The show looked at the roles ourgovernment and agriculture play in our eating habits, as well asadvertising especially directed at children. The report blamesthe government for subsidizing corn to be fed to farm animals,as opposed to helping farmers produce more vegetables and fruitfor human consumption.

It is less well known that exercisealso has indirect benefits for controlling weight.Many studies have found that even moderate exercise can improvethe feeling of well being and vitality. When you put aside asluggish body, you also tend to put aside cravings for food,especially harmful foods.

If my schedule allows, a half hour ofjogging, then shower, before lunch helps me be satisfied with alight meal.Play around with this concept, and listen to what your bodytells you. You might well find that heavy exercise after supperis out of the question, but medium to heav...
