How come many girls are entirely satisfied with their figures, while so many others will never be content? The problem often goes much deeper than just having low self-esteem - there are numerous factors that can make you vulnerable to having an eating disorder at some time in your life.

Gender is an issue. Eating disorders are more common in women than in men, but there has been a dramatic increase in the number of boys and young men who have developed the same eating disorders that their female peers experience; both anorexia and bulimia are seen.

Lacrosse for Women

May 10th, 2008 at 02:17am Under Exercise

by K.L. Amadio

Lacrosse has been a popular sport in North America for several centuries, and a sport generally played by men. Since the 1970’s, women have gained more esteem and press as participants of the game of lacrosse. Women’s lacrosse is the fastest growing segment of the sport and yet it still does not receive the same coverage as men’s lacrosse. Fewer women play the game than do men and as with most women’s sports, there are fewer spectators for women’s lacrosse games.

Ephedra Diet Pill Products

May 9th, 2008 at 02:02am Under Health+ Weight Loss/ Obesity

by Todd Massey

Original brand name diet pills with ephedra that used to be so popular are no longer available and have not been since 2004 when the FDA made ephedra illegal. This has not stopped the interest or popularity of these ephedra products as shown by the number of searches each month for them.

Quick Ephedra Fact: Look for ephedra sinica only. If the label tries to convince you that some other type of ephedra plant was used then you are getting ripped off.

While looking at an article by a leading fitness guru, I was struck by her emphasis on making exercise a priority and finding a way to fit in your gym time at any cost. Although she’s right in principle, I couldn’t help thinking that this woman cannot possibly be a working mom with small children!

Those of us who are balancing multiple roles – as parent, worker, spouse, school volunteer, household manager, and responsible citizen — often find that 24 hours per day simply aren’t enough. Fitness gets put on the back burner.

8 exercises to strengthen and flatten your abs

February 3rd, 2008 at 03:06am Under Exercise

If you experience back pain with any of these ab exercises, stop and check with your doctor before continuing.

1. Tilt your pelvis. Lie on the floor, arms at your sides and knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Next, press your lower back to the floor so that your pelvis tilts upward. Maintain this tilt as you straighten your legs by slowly sliding your heels along the floor. Stop when you can no longer hold a full tilt position. Hold and count aloud to six. Bring one leg, then the other, back to the starting position, maintaining the pelvic tilt throughout. Hold the starting position for six more counts. Relax. Repeat 12 times. The next two exercises trimmed nearly 4 inches off the waistline of Poughkeepsie, NY, resident Marion Alexandra Licchiello, 35.
