Eureka: Jammies for surviving heat, humidity and menopause!


Summer has arrived in full-swing and with it, in many regions, record-high temps and heat waves.
It's challenging enough for the average individual to cope with the symptoms of heat-exhaustion and controlling sweating but how so much more for the women passing through peri-menopause or menopause.

Being a Northerner myself and having never lived in the South except for a short-stint in Mexico over 2 decades ago, finding myself in my mid-forties and in Florida in the summer, I am definitely heat/humidity-challenged and quickly discovered that any cotton garment here in summer is not a good idea (but I already knew that from being a hiker for decades). The challenge to find sleepwear that is not only light and comfortable  but that also assists me in not overheating at night and is not sweat-inducing has been unfruitful until now!

I gladly introduce you to Cool-Jams and giddily encourage you to order yours today!







and ladies, you just MUST share your experiences here!

Is State Intervention Necessary in Childhood Obesity Cases?



This topic is expansively described and discussed in a recent article by the Journal of American Medical Association, otherwise known as JAMA. The full article can be found here.


The basic question being asked is, "Is Having Obese Children Child Abuse?", as discussed in this article.


Health Adventure Coach welcomes your opinions and discussions.


One of the contributing authors, Dr. David S. Ludwig MD, PhD, [Children's Hospital, 300 Longwood Ave, Boston, MA 02115. (david.ludwig@childrens.harvard.edu).] ,a pediatric endocrinologist, is the Founding Director of Optimal Weight for Life (OWL) program at Children's Hospital in Boston and author of the book "Ending The Food Fight"  






" Twelve years ago, Dr. Ludwig founded the Optimal Weight for Life Program (OWL) at Children's Hospital Boston. There he and his team tailored his low-glycemic diet for children and combined it  with a nine-week progressive plan that benefits the entire family. Dr. Ludwig wins parents' trust but also offers hope to their children who often feel teased, bullied, and defeated.
 This scientifically proven approach addresses, for the first time, all three key factors affecting body weight—biology, behavior, and environment—and integrates them into a powerful   prescription for weight loss. Dr. Ludwig compassionately recognizes the challenges children and their parents face in today’s fast food/fake food world, and guides them from conflict to  cooperation along the road to health.
 In Ending the Food Fight, Dr. Ludwig shares his program with parents everywhere, giving them all the tools they need to help their children win the food fight, once and for all.".
