BADMINTON
If your conception of badminton is a quiet backyard barbecue game, you've never seen the pros in action. While this team sport is certainly quieter than bowling and less violent than football, players can work up quite a sweat. If it's a good aerobic workout you are looking for, step out onto the badminton court. Faster than a game of tennis, players can burn 600 to 1,000 calories an hour.

BASKETBALL
Basketball is a fast moving game that can be played on both indoor and outdoor courts. The object of the game is to score points by making field goals or free throw shots. The length of time that the game is played varies, depending on the age, fitness level and skill of the players

BEING OVERWEIGHT IS RISKY BUSINESS
Those extra pounds can damage just about every system in your body. Take heart. Some of this damage is reversible or can at least be slowed by just losing 10 to 20 pounds.

BODY BUILDING
If you've been working out with weights or resistance training for a while, feel confident and competent, and are thrilled with your newfound energy, power and fitness, it's time to step it up a notch. Now that you've become one of the millions of Americans who weight train as part of a regular exercise routine, you need to think about what you actually hope to gain from weight training.

CHANGE THE WAY YOU EAT
Sure, you're fit. You take your usual 30-minute walks every day, you bike on the weekends, you take the stairs instead of the elevator. You've taken hold of good health and claimed it as yours. Great job! But hold on. How's that diet of yours?

CONTROLLING YOUR WEIGHT
The key to weight control is keeping energy intake (food) and energy output (physical activity) in balance. When you consume only as many calories as your body needs, your weight will usually remain constant. If you take in more calories than your body needs, you will put on excess fat. Exercise increases your energy output, calling on stored calories for extra fuel. Recent studies show that not only does exercise increase metabolism during a workout, but it causes your metabolism to stay increased for a period of time after exercising, allowing you to burn more calories.

EATING DISORDERS - IN DEPTH
Eating disorders aren't just about food. They are mental disorders that can become lifelong conditions. They can be deadly. You must get help if you suspect you or your child has an eating disorder. The earlier an eating disorder is treated, the better the chances for overcoming it.

EATING FISH CAN HELP DIABETICS
"There are a lot of clinical trials looking at the effect of omega-3 fatty acids on blood lipids," it was found that people with heart disease, with the consumption of fish or fish oil significantly reduced mortality. Those who ate fish one to three times a month reduced their risk of heart attack by 30 percent, while those who ate fish once a week reduced it by 40 percent. But women who ate fish five or more times a week reduced their risk of heart disease by 64 percent. Those who ate more fish also ate more fruits and vegetables and less red and processed meats.
