An obese child has a 37 percent chance of becoming an obese adult if both parents are slim. But if at least one parent is overweight, the child’s chance of becoming an obese adult nearly doubles to 71 percent.
Whether this is the result of inherited genes, an “inherited” fat-promoting lifestyle, or some combination of the two remains to be proven.

Supplements can be a Godsend to your health or a waste of money.
Some, like calcium, saw palmetto, and folic acid, offer real health benefits.
But others, such as ginseng for energy, red clover extract for menopause, and garlic for lowering cholesterol, are unproven, according to some nutrition experts.
And some supplements — like black cohosh, kava, and St. John’s Wort — might even harm you.
Do research and talk with a physician before taking any supplement, especially if you’re trying to use one for a medical condition.
For a safe, tried and true, all natural calcium supplement give Nature’s Sunshine Liquid Calcium a try. You won’t be sorry!

Lupus is a disorder of the immune system known as an autoimmune disease. In autoimmune diseases, the body harms its own healthy cells and tissues. This leads to inflammation and damage to various body tissues. Lupus can affect many parts of the body, including the joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and brain. Although people with the disease may have many different symptoms, some of the most common ones include extreme fatigue, painful or swollen joints (arthritis), unexplained fever, skin rashes, and kidney problems, flu like symptoms, aversion to light, mood swings, and other organ damage.
If you suffer from Lupus, or are just interesting in more information, for only $5.00 you can purchase an entire eBook on Lupus.
