I highly recommend the recent 4 Hour Special on HBO "The Weight of the Nation".  It is divided in to 4 One hour Parts. Part 1: "Consequences" examines the scope of the Obesity Epidemic and explores the serious consequences of being overweight or obese.  Part 2: "Choices". Like last month's article this one deals with the problem with added sugar in the diet and there is a section about how stress affects us. It is impossible for anyone under stress to follow goal oriented behavior, we default back to a "Comfort Mode". Part 3: "Children in Crisis" looks at what influences our children to eat what they eat. Part 4: "Challenges" We must make fundamental changes at the Government Level to stop subsidizing the industries making enormous profits from their products.  It's a mess and experts are trying to get the Government's attention, but it is a uphill fight, but we must win this one or we will lose. I remember Dr. Sears saying, "I want to save the species", that's what we are talking about and at Inside Outside you are learning the "Cure for our Health and Fitness Crisis".   "The Inside Outside Way of Life!"

"Sleep, that knits up the ravell'd sleave of care.

The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath,

balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,

chief nourisher in life's feast." 

Shakespeare, MacBeth, Act II.

The data just keeps pouring in.  Lack of Sleep and Stress profoundly affects our ability to make good food choices, we just cannot force ourselves to pursue goal directed behavior when we are sleep deprived and under stress.  Here are a couple of links to recent studies that are highlighting the serious affect of Lack of Sleep and Stress on our lives. In May of this year Dr. Christian attended a seminar at the UTHSC, sponsored by the Ethics Department. Dr. Robert Sapolsky, a renowned Stress researcher at Stanford University, and Author of "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers" was the speaker and reviewed some of his work on the effects of stress which we impose on others daily related to the inequality of social and economic status which exists in the world today.     Lack of Sleep & Junk Food      Stress & Goal Oriented Behavior      See Article of the Month!    Robert Sapolsky Phd at Wikipedia
