Healthy Start









§  Obesity experts examine why we're struggling with weight<http://r.smartbrief.com/resp/dYyrDCvAAAeSjZpUfDcXgwfCrldV?format=standard>

Americans are trying to lose weight, but the obesity epidemic continues, taking a toll on health and health care costs, experts say. They say people are eating up to 400 calories more each day than they did 20 years ago, portion sizes are larger, and exercise and activity levels have decreased. "If you go with the flow in America today, you will end up overweight or obese, as two-thirds of all adults do," CDC Director Thomas Frieden says.

§  3 health experts ID priorities for reducing obesity: Ending the obesity epidemic requires communities to enact initiatives that help people make healthier dietary and lifestyle choices, CDC Director Thomas Frieden says. Registered dietitian Margo Wootan, of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, says making school and restaurant meals healthier will help, and NIH Director Francis Collins says part of the puzzle is overcoming the idea that losing weight is simply about willpower.

§  Fast-food, restaurant dining linked to higher calorie intake<http://r.smartbrief.com/resp/dYyrDCvAAAeSjZrAfDcXgwfCMBVV?format=standard>

An analysis of data from the Physicians' Health Study II involving almost 15,000 men found that taking multivitamins regularly for about 11 years did not significantly reduce the odds of heart attack, stroke or death from heart conditions.

§  Healthy, locally grown food is on the menu at Pa. school<http://r.smartbrief.com/resp/dYyrDCvAAAeSjZtEfDcXgwfCPrkz?format=standard>

School districts are taking different approaches to meeting the federal lunch-menu requirements, says registered dietitian Lori McCoy, a vice president of the School Nutrition Association of Pennsylvania.
