Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
How do you know whether to use cold or heat
to treat muscle pain? If the pain is new and there
is some swelling, perhaps by an athletic injury, use
an ice pack three times a day for about 15 minutes.
Use a towel or dampened wash cloth between the
ice pack and the skin. If there is no swelling, heat may be the
answer.
Leptin is a hormone in our bodies that tells us that we are full.
There is another hormone called ghrelin that stimulates our ap-
petite so we eat more. Lower levels of leptin can result from lack
of sleep. The outcome is that we might eat more. So part of a
weight -loss program? Get a good night's sleep.
Dieters are told to eat lots of vegetables but watch the carrots
because they contain sugar. Actually, one cup of chopped raw
carrots contains only 52 calories and 12 grams of carbohydrates,
half from sugar. Considering all the nutrients that carrots contain,
they're a good choice for both dieters and non -dieters alike.
Overweight men (33 lbs. above normal) had increased risks of
esophageal, colon and kidney cancers. Women (29 lbs. above)
had increased risks of uterine, esophageal and kidney cancers.
These men and women had normal BMI (Body Mass Index) but
just gained too much. With so many causes of cancer, here's one
cause we can control. Eat wisely and exercise to keep that weight
under control.
