Hi Friends!

Today I'm sharing a few articles from the New York Times, all about health, wellness, and fitness. I enjoyed reading them and I have a sneaky suspicion that you will too.  I try to watch the news and read a newspaper everyday to keep up on current events. I'm not successful every week, but this week I was. 

Enjoy!

Less Fat Kids



Data reported in Major Federal Healthy Survey is the first "clear evidence" that the obesity rate for young children is decreasing fast. 

43% drop in obesity rate amoung children ages 2-5 over the past 10 years

Children that are overweight or obese at 3 to 5 years old are  5 times as likely to be overweight or obese adults

Around 8% of 2-5 year olds were obese in 2012 which is down from 14% in 2004

"The first time we've seen any indication of any significant decease in any group" said Cynthia L Ogden, a researcher for Center for Disease control and Prevention

1/3 of Adults and 17% of youths are obese

Trust Us...No Condoms Needed in Egypt



Doctor, Maj. Gen. Ibrahim Abdul Atti confidently announced late last week that the military has developed a cure for the virus that causes AIDs and Hepatitis C

"Defeating the virus is a very easy process, but God grants wisdom to whoever he wants "said Major General Ibrahm Abdal Atti, who also bragged about treatments that have cured 100% of AIDs patients and more than 95% of Hepatitis C cases

Independent experts are skeptical about the generals new "so called cures"

This could be very damaging to public healthy and the reputations ofEgyptian  Scientists and Doctors

Dr Essam Heggy calls the latest announcement "a scandal for Egypt that  hurts the image of its scientist and science in the country"

Get Married and Pass the Salt



A new study published in The Journal of Hypertension proves people who are maried, especially  men, are much more likely to improve their blood pressure, compared to people that are not married

"Marriage might provide a level of social support that leads people to better manage their healthy and stress levels" (as stated in the NY Times (24, February 2014))
