Some forms of yoga place more emphasis on physical postures and stretching or flexibility, others on breathing or meditation. Other forms of yoga include faster-moving series of movements. Studies on yoga and its healthy benefits are often small short-term, and without clear comparison groups, so for now conclusions are tentative, but early research is promising. The research is thin, but here’s what it says A recent review of multiple studies found some evidence that those who do yoga may experience reduced blood pressure, blood triglyceride levels, and possibly LDL cholesterol over, compared to those do do no exercise at all.

Junk Food Makers Gaming School ‘Smart Snack’ Standards to Keep Kids Eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos
(CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) Jason Brackens/Flickr Flamin’ Hot Cheetos are catnip for school kids for a lot of reasons: their tongue-toasting spiciness, their satisfying crunchiness, the way that they turn your fingers red instead of ordinary Cheetos orange, and of course, the fact that they are junk food, with scant more nutritional content than a poker chip.

Saturated fat & CHD in Europe
This post shows that, for all 192 countries in the world, for men and women, for CVD deaths and all-cause mortality, the HIGHER the cholesterol levels, the LOWER the death rate; the LOWER the cholesterol levels, the HIGHER the death rate. The Pearson correlation coefficient gets higher as we move from male CVD deaths to female CVD deaths to male all deaths to female all deaths. This blog repeats the exercise of examining the association between heart disease (this time CHD) and an accused causal agent (this time saturated fat). The data is available for Europe here [Ref 1]. As you can see below, the association is again inverse – the higher the saturated fat intake, the lower the CHD death rate for males… and females… The
