Poorly fitted shoes can most certainly affect your fitness level. Read on! Best of Health! Laura _______________________________________________________ This Week's NUTRITION TIP: _______________________________________________________ Does Yoplait Promote Weight Loss? by James Kenney, PhD, RD, LD Yoplait is running ads that claim, "Yoplait Light has recently been clinically shown to enhance weight and fat loss as part of a reduced-calorie diet." Is this true? Dr. Zemel did publish a small study showing obese subjects instructed to consume more low-fat and non-fat dairy products lost more weight than those instructed to follow a more conventional low-calcium (about 400-500 mg/day) weight loss diet. (1) Those on the low-calcium diet either took a placebo or a calcium supplement (800 mg/day). * The group consuming the low-fat dairy products lost 70% more weight over 6 months and 64% more body fat than the group on the low-calcium diet (plus placebo). * Those who followed the low-calcium diet but took the calcium supplement lost 26% more body weight plus 38% more body fat than the group with a placebo. This suggests that a low-calcium intake may make losing body fat more difficult. Because the researchers did not measure calorie intake, it is hard to say for sure why subjects lost more weight with the low- fat dairy and calcium supplements. A low calcium intake does increase calcitrol (active form of vitamin D) in the blood, and this increases calcium influx in fat cells, which appears to favor fat accumulation. Weight loss in older women does tend to promote calcium loss from the bones, so it makes sense to include a moderate amount of calcium-rich foods for them. But men might not want to follow the same advice just yet. Data from the large Physicians' Health Study found that men who consumed more dairy products and calcium were more likely to develop prostate cancer than those who consumed less.(2) THE BOTTOM LINE: The use of moderate amounts of non-fat dairy products as part of a weight-control diet seems reasonable, but this does not mean fatty dairy products with added sugar are a healthy addition to a weight-loss diet.

Gimmicky calorie- counting diets leave you feeling hungry. Yo-yo dieting is devastating to your body. And strict dietary regimens never, ever last. Now, the world's premiere name in health and nutrition introduces a scientifically proven strategy for losing 2 to 7 pounds a week and keeping it off. "If you focus on selecting foods with low calorie density, and worry less about how much of them you're eating," says Robert Pritikin, "you'll lose weight without ever feeling hungry and you'll look and feel great. That's the key to the success of the calorie-density solution." To date, this revolutionary approach has only been available to participants in Pritikin Longevity Center programs. Now, you can put all the experts of the Pritikin Center to work for you. Includes charts of calorie-density levels in common foods. Provides more than 50 delicious recipes and an array of easy-to-follow menu plans. Debunks popular fad diets. ORDER NOW!

The majority of foot problems such as calluses, bunions, hammer toe, heel spurs, ingrown toenails and corns arise or are aggravated because of ill-fitting shoes. So pain and costly treatments, including surgery, can be prevented or diminished with the right shoe fit. When people buy tight shoes and expect them to fit after stretching, they are simply creating misery for themselves. They'll have to replace the shoes or endure discomfort, because shoes don't stretch in length. Finding the right shoe can be time consuming, but the alternative is not attractive. The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society has guidelines on shoe fitting, and some of the information below has been adapted from them. The first thing you should understand about shoes is that each brand and style may fit differently, regardless of the size it states. Most people find that their feet tend to fall within several sizes of shoes. So try more than one size for the right fit. Also, don't assume that you know your size because feet can change as we age. Because our feet expand during the day, it's a mistake to shop early. You could find the shoes are too tight the next afternoon. Shop as late in the day as possible for the best shoe fit. Shoe shopping should not be a quick affair. Taking the time to try on the shoes for both feet is important, because most people have one foot larger than the other. So you will need to buy the size for the larger foot. Achieving the right fit relates to foot length, width and arch length. All three measurements can differ between feet. Measuring your foot with a Brannock device can help the sales staff to point you toward the right size. Most shoe stores have these metal devices and you've probably seen or used them. Of course, because sizes can vary between brands, this measurement is only a place to start. The proof is in how the shoes feel. Sitting down won't give you an accurate fit. You must stand and walk around the store until there's no doubt about the comfort level. The ball of your foot, the widest area, must fit well into the widest part of the shoe. If it does, then the arch length will be correct. If it doesn't, the solution is not a longer shoe but a different style or brand that matches your foot width. If the toe feels too tight or the heel too loose, try a different size. The longest toe requires about a half-inch of space at the tip of the shoe (a bit more for the greater activity of athletic shoes), and the heel should be snug when the laces are tightened reasonably. Many people need more than a proper fitting shoe. To address such problems as flat feet, high arches or pronation (the foot can lean in or out too much, causing uneven heel wear), orthotics can be made to place in the shoes. These devices can make a world of difference, relieving heel, knee and back pain. See your doctor if you experience chronic pain in the lower part of your body or people tell you walk in a strange way. Ignoring problems can lead to costly and complicated treatments. It's far better to wear proper fitting shoes, which could be a simple solution to many problems you might be attributing to other causes. ---------------------- About the author: Roz Mickleburg contributes to ROM Shoes, which offers shoe information resources and a free newsletter at http://www.romshoes.com _______________________________________________________ RECOMMENDED FITNESS READING: Exercise Beats Arthritis: An Easy-to-Follow Program of Exercises by Valerie Sayce & Ian Fraser Take Control of Your Arthritis...
