Overweight kids are more likely both to be bullies and to be the target
of bullies, but starting an exercise program can not only help them shape up, it may also make them less angry. Researchers at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta found that
anger levels decreased in groups of overweight kids ages 7 to 11 who exercised either 20 or 40 minutes daily for 10 to 15
weeks. But the more the kids exercised the lower their expressions of anger. The report in the journal Pediatric
Exercise Science says there are many reasons aggression might have gone down, including increased self-control, getting more
attention from program staff, being punished for bad behavior or even watching less television, as well as the exercise itself.
* It's a Myth...
Research shows that drinking warm or cold water when exercising does
not make a difference. I have found that some research suggests that the cooler water helps to decrease the body
temperature back to a normal state more rapidly, but most articles basically state the temperature of water is... a personal
preference.

*Hydrogenation
Hydrogenation is the process of heating an oil and passing hydrogen bubbles through it. The fatty acids
in the oil then acquire some of the hydrogen, which makes it more dense. If you fully hydrogenate, you create a solid (a fat)
out of the oil. But if you stop part way, you a semi-solid partially hydrogenated oil that has a consistency like butter,
only it's a lot cheaper.
Worse,
most partially hydrogenated oil is partially hydrogenated soybean oil. That's a problem, because soybean oil depresses
the thyroid--which lowers your energy levels, makes you feel less like exercising, and generally makes you fatter!
As a result, Americans are consuming
soybean oil--partially hydrogenated soybean oil--in virtually everything they eat. It's no wonder that America is
experiencing epidemic levels of diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and cancer.
*Avoiding Hydrogenation
When you start reading food labels, it is astonishing how many products
you will find that contain partially hydrogenated oils. In the chip aisle, there are maybe two brands that don't" Lay's
Classic Potato Chips (not their other brands), and Laura Scudders chips. Most every other package on the shelf does.
Then there are the cookies and crackers. Most every single one does. About the only cookie that doesn't
is Paul Neuman's fig newtons or Newman-Os (very similar to Oreos). Among peanut butters, the all-natural brands (Adams and
Laura Scudders) don't. All the rest seem to.
*Hydrogenatated Safe Foods as Labeled
Foods are Subject to Change as new discoveries and ingredients
are modified. If you have a food you would like to submit for consideration as free from "hydrogenation" please contact Coach Repak.

*Harness the power of vitamin D
Medical journals have had many recent studies indicating that vitamin D fights cancer.
A study by Creighton University School of Medicine found that by getting plenty of vitamin D could cut the risk of any cancer
by 60% or more. - Dr. Ted Mitchell (USA Weekend, Sept. 28-30, 2007)
