News from the Front.....

Here are several news stories I've collected recently on the worldwide Battle of the Bulge that may be of interest to you....

--Researchers at New York University have just completed a study that indicates a larger waistline could mean a smaller paycheck for one group.(Yes that group is women.)
They found women with a larger body mass tend to have less household income. The same study showed men are not affected inthe same way!

--Human trials are underway to develop a vaccine to treat chronic obesity. A Swiss company called Cytos Biotechnology is taking advantage of a hormone that is a key factor in building and maintaining body weight. Called    Ghrelin this hormone stimulates appetite and eating. Researches say it is responsible for weight regains in peopel who have lost weight.

--From Japan...a new study in Mice is finding babies born undernourished moms had a hormonal change that could increase their risk for obesity. Now, more research is needed to see if this also happens in humans.

Magic bullets. Millions and millions of dollars are now being spent in their development to resolve the world's obesity problem and its many complications. (Heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression....etc.)

My thought for the day; We all have a built in magic bullet. We just need to activate it. BFL shows us how to flip that switch. Exercise, balanced nutrition, weight resistance and supplimentation. And it doesn't cost millions. All it takes is goal setting, planning, community building and follow through.

Have a great BFL Day...and if you find an interesting story involving the great Battle of the Bulge please share it with us!
