Recently, the press has focused much of their effort on the relationship between the vegetarian diet and colorectal cancer, citing a study performed of Seventh-Day Adventist men and women, and published by JAMA Internal Medicine, in which researchers identified 380 cases of colon cancer and 110 cases of rectal cancer among over 77,000 subjects who did not follow a typical Western diet. For those who followed a strict vegetarian diet, however, the risk of colon and colorectal cancer was significantly reduced, causing the experts to believe that a vegetarian diet may prevent many cases of colon and colorectal cancers.

A new drug, thought to be beneficial in the treatment of obesity, has been approved by the FDA. Patients who are prescribed liraglutide, or Saxenda, for weight loss must have at least one other weight-related health condition. Because of many insurance companies' hesitancy to approve this newly released drug, however, as well as the high out of pocket expense to patients, sales have fallen short of the manufacturers' expectations.

Telomeres….What are they and why are they important? Telomeres are a protective coating found on the end of chromosomes, much like the plastic tip of shoelaces, that shield and prevent chromosomes from fraying and sticking together. They are important because they are thought to control the aging process in humans. And, while telomeres naturally shorten with age, it is thought that they tend to shorten more slowly in healthy people. Telomeres that are frayed or shortened by reckless lifestyles can cause cells to die, accelerating the aging process and making the body more vulnerable to shorter lifespans and a higher risk for disease, including heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes. Experts agree that consuming a healthy diet, losing excess fat and reducing stress levels can protect telomeres and influence how quickly they are shortened.

Vitamin B-12 has been praised for its ability to boost the metabolism, increase energy, and even help control cholesterol and gallstones. Experts at Diet Doc have found a great new way to pinpoint vitamin B-12 delivery, allowing users to inject this powerful weight loss catalyst directly into belly fat, aiding exponentially in the elimination of accumulated belly fat.

And, while this disease seems to affect more African Americans, it can touch almost anyone.

Some may scoff at the idea that food addiction is a real disorder. Advanced science, however, has enabled experts to delve deeper into the reasons for America's obesity epidemic to discover that foods rich in sugar, salt and carbohydrates trigger the same pleasure center of the brain, releasing the same "feel good" chemicals as heroin and cocaine, validating the fact that food addiction is real.

While stress is seldom the root cause of any disease, it can be the catalyst for a number of human ailments, including sleep deprivation, headache, anxiety, depression and fertility. Many people ask "can stress cause weight gain" and the answer is yes. For many people, the effects of stressful working conditions and financial and family obligations can far exceed the most noticeable symptoms, such as anxiety, and is even linked to heart attack and diabetes.
