Older women need 1-hour workouts to fend off weigh gain

Older women need 1-hour workouts to fend off flab

By LINDSEY TANNER
AP Medical Writer


CHICAGO (AP) -- Rev up the treadmill: Sobering new research spells out just how much exercise women need to keep the flab off as they age - and it's a lot.

At least an hour of moderate activity a day is needed for older women at a healthy weight who aren't dieting. For those who are already overweight - and that's most American women - even more exercise is called for to avoid gaining weight without eating less, the study results suggest.

Study: Last Supper paintings supersize the food

Has even the Last Supper been supersized?

The food in famous paintings of the meal has grown by biblical proportions over the last millennium, researchers report in a medical journal Tuesday.

Using a computer, they compared the size of the food to the size of the heads in 52 paintings of Jesus Christ and his disciples at their final meal before his death.

If art imitates life, we're in trouble, the researchers conclude. The size of the main dish grew 69 percent; the size of the plate, 66 percent, and the bread, 23 percent, between the years 1000 and 2000.

Nancy Schaefer

Nancy Schaefer was a powerful influence in my life. She stood for life in every possible way. Her death, regardless of the circumstances, does not diminish my love and respect for the life she lived. The quote below is a belief she stood for and one I will live the rest of my life standing for:

A quote from Nancy Schaefer in 2004: "You know my heart. You know my burning desire to do everything in my power to protect freedom and liberty for our children, our grandchildren, and for the next generation.” Continuing she said, “I believe those of us who uphold the U.S. Constitution, free enterprise, less government, lower taxes, the 2nd Amendment, more individual responsibility, the Ten Commandments, the sanctity of life, and the traditional family must be involved in strengthening our society and our culture on any level available to us."

This was part of an address to the WRAF listening audience as Nancy stepped down from her radio commentary to run for Georgia State Senate in 2004. I am heartbroken over her loss and am praying non-stop for her family.

Daniel Vandale Bazaar - April 17, 2010

There will be a bazaar to raise money for Daniel Vandale, a 35-yr old cartilage cancer patient, and his family. (Cancer, unfortunately, is everwhere but this type of cancer in this location has never occurred in the United States before, so he is having to commute back and forth to Philadelphia for treatments.) The bazaar will occur in Rocky Creek Baptist Church's gymnasium on April 17, 2010 from 12:00pm-8:00pm.



Rocky Creek Baptist Church is located on 1801 Woodruff Rd. Greenville, SC 29607. Admission is free. There will be up to 76 vendors there who have donated $30 or more (each) towards Daniel's treatments already, most of which are also giving 100% of their commissions that day in additional donations.



People can shop and donate all at one time. There will be a booth at the front door with more information about Daniel's type of cancer and an update on him.
