A new study is providing the most powerful evidence thus far that the obesity epidemic is growing in a generation that is prone to serious health problems. The study consisted of more then 270,000 Danish children. Results showed that the children that were overweight when they were 7 to 13 years old were much more likely to develop a heart disease between the ages of 25 and 71. "This is the first study to convincingly show that excess childhood weight is associated with heart disease in adulthood or with any significant health problem in adulthood," said Jennifer L. Baker of the Institute of Preventive Medicine. The proportion of the U.S. children who are
overweight has tripled since 1976 and now totals more than nine million. |

Flu virus flourishes in cold season
Researchers
in New York believe they have solved one of the great mysteries of the
flue: why does the infection spread primarily in the winter months?
The answer, they say, has to do with the virus itself. It ir more
stable and stays in the air longer when the air is cold and dry.
Another theory is that it flourishes due to a dimished immune response
because people make less vitamin D or melatonin when days are shorter.
Flu viruses are more stable in cold air, and low humidity also helps the
virus particles remain in the air. That is because the viruses
float in the air in little respiratory droplets.
