Can You “Catch” Obesity?

Keith Scott-Mumby

Anyone who doesn’t refer to the obesity rates in the Western hemisphere as an epidemic has not been paying attention. As of 2012, more than two-thirds of American adults are considered overweight or obese. The dangers of obesity can no longer be ignored and they should not be molded into something they are not. It is […]

Ramming Home Healthy Lifestyle Again and Again!

Keith Scott-Mumby

If it needs re-enforcing, here is the main medical message all over again: don’t smoke and live a healthy lifestyle! If you don’t smoke, you’ll live longer and are less likely to die of heart disease and cancer. We all know that (yawn…) But if you are a non-smoker or gave up smoking, a good […]

Chocolate Helps Lose Weight

Keith Scott-Mumby

A recent study showed that frequent chocolate consumption was associated with lower body mass index (BMI), even when adjusting for calorie intake, saturated fat intake, and mood.

Keith Scott-Mumby

A recent trip to a doctor to have my ears syringed resulted in a routine weighing on a balance scale—you know, the kind where you are balanced against weights slid along a beam.
