Most of the time, exercise conjures up images of losing weight, building muscle, and trimming thighs. But now, doctors say, another body part may benefit from regular workouts – your skin. Perhaps the most dramatic effects of exercise are on acne-prone skin. There's a lot of indirect evidence that shows that when you exercise your level of stress diminishes. So your adrenal glands are producing less of these male-type hormones that are part of any acne flare-up. More →

The best exercises for fat loss

www.thedietchannel.com // 15 May, 2007

Misunderstandings about calcium and its effects on the body

www.hsph.harvard.edu // 22 Apr, 2007

The body gets the calcium it needs in two ways. One is by eating foods that contain calcium. The other way is by pulling it from bones. This happens when blood levels of calcium drop too low, usually when it's been a while since having eaten a meal containing calcium.
