Volunteers are being recruited for a study at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston to test the potential benefits of omega-3 fatty acids in patients with Alzheimer's disease. The study, part of a national initiative supported by the National Institute on Aging, will test whether omega-3 fatty acids, found in the oil of certain fish, algae and breast milk, benefit the brain by lowering the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Prospective study participants can call the BCM study site at 713-798-7431 or the NIA's Alzheimer's Disease Education and Referral Center at 800-438-4380.

So many women I’ve worked with have come to me out of frustration.  They say they’ve been doing the same workout for a year or more and haven’t noticed any change in their bodies.  The problem is that they are doing the same thing expecting different results.  One key to weight loss is changing up your routine.  For example 2-3 X per week you could take a kickboxing or stroller workout class, and once a week take a yoga class or go for a power walk with intervals of hills.  The more you vary your routine, the more your muscles will be challenged.  When your muscles are challenged they will respond with an increase in muscle tone and strength, and an increase in calorie output which equals weight loss! 

Alzheimer's disease patients are needed to participate in a study on genetic susceptibility at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. BCM is recruiting 125 people with Alzheimer's disease to participate in state-funded research undertaken by the Texas Alzheimer's Research Consortium to explore how genetics and inflammatory changes in the blood affect onset of this disease. Research conducted by the consortium will help develop new treatment approaches, including lifestyle changes, drugs, and immunizations. Prospective study participants can call 713-798-2230.
