Kids, TV and Asthma
Time to trade in cartoons for the monkey bars
According to a new study, kids who watch TV for more than two hours a day have double the risk of developing asthma. Researchers think the hours vegging in front of the tube may negatively impact the growth of kids' lungs, leaving them more susceptible to the illness (see Asthma & Children). http://www.yourtotalhealth.ivillage.com

Walk It Away
Here's something to look forward to: If you walk everyday for 30 minutes, you can expect to drop 2 lbs. per week. That means you'll be 12 lbs. slimmer in six weeks! Get a jump start before Spring - less than 2 weeks away!
Losing just 5 lbs. of pure body fat from exercise can make you look like you've dropped 10 lbs. Your change in dress size will be even more dramatic because all that walking uses up fat and builds lean, sleek muscle, giving you the tone you want. That is one reason you should walk off the weight instead of just cut down on calories without boosting your activity level. Dieting only leaves you with a smaller version of yourself, while losing weight through activity really shapes and proportions your body... just one more thing to be happy about as you walk your way to a healthier body in time for SPRING! http://www.walkathome.com/walk/
