Small steps help establish heart-healthy eating habits
Texarkana Gazette, TX -
Although this may have been funny on television, that type of scene plays right into society’s misperception that only elderly men suffer from heart disease or stroke. Look at this statistic: while heart disease and stroke kill one in every 3.7 men, one in 2.4 women lose their lives to heart disease and stroke. They are the No. 1 and No. 3 killers of women. Comparison wise, breast cancer kills one in 29 women.

Helping Your Overweight Child - Family Involvement Is Key
NewsBlaze (press release), CA -
When parents make healthy dining and enjoyable exercise a priority, they don't treat their overweight children differently than the rest of the family. Placing a heavy child on a diet or exercise programs outside of the regular family routine can embarrass or alienate the youth, so the strategy typically produces only short-term results. When you were a kid, how easy would it have been for you to eat healthy and stay active if other family members were eating potato chips and ice cream while watching hours of TV? Indeed, everyone in the family can use a little more exercise while eating more fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products.

Serving up a treat
Borehanwood Times, UK -
Further controls on the vitamin and mineral content of school food will follow in 2008, along with an estimated £220 million investment and greater freedom for local authorities to offer students free meals. At present only children whose parents are on income support or job seeker's allowance are entitled to a free meal entitlement. At Hertswood around 20 per cent of children take up their entitlement to free meals, less than one per cent go home to eat, and the vast majority pay to eat in the school canteen.

Cops will arrest bad eating habits
Pioneer Press Online, IL -
Temptations are a constant at a police department, where doughnuts and cakes are commonly found in the lounge. It's also a fast-paced line of work that often forces its employees to eat on the go, which often means having to eat fatty fast food. That's especially the case for cops on the midnight shift, when nothing besides fast-food joints are open.
