Soccer burns more fat than jogging

A new scientific experiment from University of Copenhagen shows that soccer is better for your health than jogging. Researchers believe that soccer can be used to actively fight obesity. Soccer is not just a game of fun. The research shows that a game of soccer two to three times a week is profoundly health-improving. As a matter of fact, the beneficial effects are so massive that it beats jogging.

1. Burn injuries take devastating toll on nation's children
   11-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The approach of winter season brings with it an increase in burn-related injuries to our nation's children. Annually in the United States, fires and burns result in almost 4,000 deaths and more than 745,000 nonhospitalized injuries among all age groups.

2. New discovery could reduce the health risk of high-fat foods

   Just as additives help gasoline burn cleaner, a research report published in the January 2008 print issue of The FASEB Journal shows that the food industry could take a similar approach toward reducing health risks associated with fatty foods. These "meal additives" would be based on work of Israeli researchers who discovered that consuming polyphenols (natural compounds in red wine, fruits, and vegetables) simultaneously with high-fat foods may reduce health risks associated with these foods.

3. Genetically altered cells may help artificial skin fight infection
   01-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Cincinnati burn researchers have created genetically modified skin cells that, when added to cultured skin substitutes, may help fight off potentially lethal infections in patients with severe burns. Led by University of Cincinnati scientists, the team found that skin cells that were genetically altered to produce higher levels of a protein known as human beta defensin 4 killed more bacteria than normal skin cells.

4. Experimental weight-loss drug cuts appetite, burns more energy
   01-08-2008 · EurekAlert!
   The first clinical studies of an experimental drug have revealed that obese people who take it for 12 weeks lose weight, even at very low doses. Short-term studies also suggest that the drug, called taranabant -- the second drug designed to fight obesity by blocking cannabinoid receptors in the brain -- causes people to consume fewer calories and burn more energy.

5. 'Exercise pill' switches on gene that tells cells to burn fat
   04-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
   By giving ordinary adult mice a drug -- a synthetic designed to mimic fat -- scientists are now able to chemically switch on PPAR-d, the master regulator that controls the ability of cells to burn fat. Even when the mice are not active, turning on the chemical switch activates the same fat-burning process that occurs during exercise. The resulting shift in energy balance (calories in, calories burned) makes the mice resistant to weight gain on a high fat diet.

6. Study identifies new regulator of fat metabolism
   06-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Over the past several years, animal studies have shown that high-fat, low-carbohydrate "ketogenic" diets cause demonstrable changes in metabolism and subsequent weight loss. Now, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have identified a key mechanism behind this turn of events. Their findings, which appear in the June 2007 issue of Cell Metabolism, demonstrate that a liver hormone known as FGF21 is required to oxidize fatty acids -- and thereby burn calories.

   07-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers at the Monell Center have identified a genetically-transmitted metabolic defect that can lead to obesity. The defect involves decreased production of liver enzymes needed to burn fat and may help to explain why some people become obese while others remain thin. The findings could open the door to the development of new obesity drugs.

10. Fat still on the children's menu
    08-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Parents should think twice before offering a low-fat menu to youngsters, despite concerns over obesity. Children burn more body fat than adults for each calorie spent, according to research in the online open access publication, Nutrition Journal, evidence that fat can be included as part of a child's healthy and balanced diet.
