Can your body recover from a sustained period of overindulgence? Is there a way to tinker with our physiology so that we can feel satisfied with less food? Is there a link between knee arthritis and surplus pounds? And can your genetic makeup prevent weight loss? Read the latest perspectives on these questions.

Overindulging Has Long-Term Consequences

The temptation to overindulge can be overwhelming, but Swedish researchers found that overindulging for as little as a month changes the body’s physiology and makes weight loss even harder. Researchers confirm a hard truth—a few weeks of bad behavior can't be easily undone.

Understanding the Key to Fat Digestion and Appetite

Researchers are working on a way to slow down fat digestion to create and sustain a feeling of fullness or satiety. Examine the latest understanding of how this approach might work to help individuals lose weight.

Arthritis and Weight—Understanding the Connection

Researchers assert the presence of a direct link between obesity and knee arthritis. Consequently, weight reduction is a key component of any arthritis treatment program. Water aerobics is one of the best ways to keep a full range of motion in arthritic joints.

Untangling the Connection between Genes and Weight

Eating modest amounts of healthful food to support fitness was considered basic advice that applied universally. Weight loss, however, became more complex as researchers began unraveling the link between genes and what we eat.

If you find value in these gems, I hope you will send any additional resources you discover that can shed light on these topics.
