Readers:
I hope you and yours had a great holiday season. It's the
New Year and it's time to work off all of that holiday
food.
In my experience I find it's best to ease into a new
exercise and/or diet regimen. A few years ago I tried to
over-exert myself in a intense workout program and it sent
me into a downward spiral.
I couldn't keep my blood-sugar under control. My numbers
were constantly fluctuating. I talked to my doctor and
did my own research and it seemed that easing into a new
diet/exercise combo was the right way to go.
If you're worried about what to do consult your physician.
Have a great New Year and take care of yourself.
Regards,
Steve

Impact of Soda in Childhood Seen in Adolescence
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Young children who load up on
sugary soft drinks risk developing signs of heart disease
and diabetes in adolescence, according to a long-term study
in which doctors followed a group of girls from 5 to 13
years of age.
"Parents should be aware that diet and lifestyle choices
during early childhood have an impact on later disease
risk," study chief Alison K. Ventura told Reuters Health.
"In this study we are seeing the effects of these choices
during early adolescence."
"Additionally, parents should be aware of early risk
factors (e.g., accelerated weight and fat mass gain) that
appear to predict disease risk later on," added Ventura,
who is a doctoral candidate at Penn State's Center for
Childhood Obesity Research.
Ventura and two colleagues have identified "risk profiles"
for metabolic syndrome in adolescence, based on their study
of 154 white non-Hispanic girls.
Metabolic syndrome is a term used to describe a cluster
of traits linked to the development of heart disease and
diabetes in adults, such as high blood sugar, overweight
and obesity, high blood pressure (hypertension), and high
triglycerides combined with low "good" HDL cholesterol.
Ventura explained that, based on these indicators for
metabolic syndrome, girls can be classified into 1 of 4
groups: (1) a lower risk group, showing healthy values on
all indicators; (2) a "dyslipidemia risk" group, showing
high triglycerides and low HDL, but normal weight status;
(3) a hypertension risk group, showing high blood pressure
and waist circumference values; and (4) a higher metabolic
syndrome risk group, showing values close to or meeting
the metabolic syndrome criteria for adolescents.
When Ventura's team looked at information on these girls'
during childhood, from ages 5 to 13, they found several
factors that predicted which one of the four groups they
would fall into at age 13.
"Girls in the highest risk group had more family history of
obesity, hypertension and diabetes, higher weight status and
fat mass across childhood, greater and faster change in
weight status and fat mass across childhood, and increased
intakes of sugar-sweetened beverages from ages 5 to 9,
compared to the other three groups," Ventura reported.
At ages 5, 7, and 9 years, the higher risk group consumed
27 percent, 45 percent, and 50 percent more daily servings
of sugary drinks, respectively, than the lower risk group.
Combined with weight gain data, the pattern "suggests the
possibility that consistently high intake of sweetened
beverages early in life may constitute a risk factor for
excessive weight gain and increased metabolic syndrome
risk," the investigators conclude.
