2010-10-09

POTSDAM, NY, October 09, 2010 (Press-News.org) For some students, balancing a healthy lifestyle with their college schedule can seem like a major hurdle, but author and full-time student Nduka J. Anyanwu's new book FitTionary equips students with the tools to succeed at both.

"My purpose for putting this book together is to help change your notion of how hard and boring exercising and proper eating habits are to implement," writes Anyanwu. The author draws on his experience as a certified personal trainer with the National Federation of Professional Trainers and full-time engineering and management student at Clarkson University to offer no-nonsense advice on how students can succeed at integrating fitness and nutrition into their educational life.

"If you are new to the fitness game, and have never been to the gym or worked out before, this book will help you get started by showing you how to train and diet properly for optimum fitness," explains Anyanwu, in the introduction to his fitness manual.

The author addresses many of the problems facing students, including balancing a hectic schedule with their fitness goals, weight loss, muscle gain and weight maintenance, how to eat smart both on and off campus and offers practical tips on fitness and nutrition. With over 220 pages of detailed instructions and sample exercises, Anyanwu lays out a road map for students to succeed at both their education and maintain their fitness level throughout their time at college.

Mount Etna's mystery explained?

2010-10-08

Internationally renowned geophysicist Dr Wouter Schellart has developed the first dynamic model to explain the mystery of the largest and most fascinating volcano in Europe, Mount Etna. Dr Schellart's results from fluid dynamic models provide an alternative explanation for the existence of Mount Etna, its geological environment and evolution, as well as volcanism in the surrounding region. His theory suggests that Mount Etna is not directly the result of tectonic plate boundary activity, but that it resulted from decompression melting of upper mantle material flowing ...

Doctors evaluating heart problems should consider checking fat deposits around the heart

2010-10-08

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 6, 2010) – Cardiac imaging researchers at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute are recommending that physicians not overlook fatty deposits around the heart when evaluating patients for risk of major heart problems. Although abdominal fat is often considered in making these assessments, recent research suggests that measuring fatty tissue around the heart is an even better predictor, and noninvasive CT scanning may provide this important information. The recommendation appeared in an editorial comment published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: ...
