Someone just shot me an email saying the podcast for the last 3 days sounded garbled, which is right around the time I switched mics. Apparently it sounds that way on both itunes and directly from my site, but it...

Blog Post Delay

post from NetSweat Fitness Blog on 07 April 2006 09:02:00 PM. © NetSweat Fitness Blog

Some of you may have seen the message on the home page about a post regarding cycling shorts only to come to our fitness blog and see nothing about cycling shorts. Well....

Netsweat.com was recently moved to a new server. Because of this switch, we had to reconfigure the settings on Blogger. In non-techie terms, we had to tell Blogger how to talk to the new server. We're happy to report, however, that the problem has been fixed. Yea!!!

Kudos to Blogger to finding a solution and fixing the problem.

And that post about cycling shorts? It's the next one down...copyright NetSweat.com - The Internet's Fitness Resource

How can I get rid of the fat on my thighs

post from Fitness & Health with Dr. Gabe Mirkin on 07 April 2006 06:05:00 PM. © Fitness & Health with Dr. Gabe Mirkin

If you are woman who is thinking about getting liposuction to rid yourself of the fat in your thighs, think again. Dr. Anne B. Newman, of the University of Pittsburgh found that thigh fat may be good fat (Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, August 12, 2005). Older women with lots of fat in their thighs are at much lower risk for ''metabolic syndrome," a condition associated with high blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure that increase risk for diabetes and heart disease. The bad fat appears to be stored in the abdomen and wraps around organs. In post-menopausal women, heavy thighs and buttocks are associated with lower triglycerides, blood sugar and blood pressure. However, women who also stored lots of fat in their bellies lost much of their advantage.

We aren?t sure how thigh fat prevents disease. It may be a receptacle that draws triglycerides and other fats from the bloodstream or it may draw fat from the abdomen and around organs where it could be lethal. Sadly, there is no way to store fat only in the thighs. When you gain weight, you add fat everywhere. But it?s safer to look like a pear than an apple.

When you want to lose fat in a specific place, you need to lose weight overall; there's no such thing as spot reduction.

Should your doctor write a grocery list instead
of a prescription to lower your cholesterol

post from The Nutrition and Food Web Archive Nutrition Blog on 07 April 2006 09:23:00 AM. © The Nutrition and Food Web Archive Nutrition Blog

According to researchers at the University of Toronto, eating a certain combination of heart-healthy foods, including almonds, oatmeal, lean meats and fish, can help reduce LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol levels as much as a first-line statin drug. This gives patients a new reason to ask for a grocery list rather than a prescription at the [...]
