Want to know whether you're at risk for heart disease? Pull out a tape measure.

Reducing Calories May Increase Life Longevity
Scientists have been aware that that animals with a reduced calorie intake had lengthened lifespans, but they were never able to understand the reasons why. A recent study by scientists from Harvard Medical School suggests that restricting calories to lose weight may also be the secret to extending life expectancy. Restriction of high calorie foods is believed to produce a molecular response that triggers a reaction within the energy core of cells, known as the mitochondria. Responsible for keeping cells alive and healthy, mitochondria can weaken and lead to cell deterioration and increased susceptibility to DNA stress, which eventually causes the cell to die.

Pregnancy Weight Gain Recommendation Expected to Change
During this fall, the Institute of Medicine is expected to start gathering scientific evidence to support how much weight pregnant women should gain. The current guidelines, which were announced in 1990, recommends that women with low body mass index scores should gain 40 pounds, women with normal scores should gain 25-35 pounds, and obese women should gain 15 pounds.

Active Children are Influenced by Active Parents
A study from bmj.com has found parents who are active during pregnancy and early in their child's life are more likely to raise active children. Up to this point, some risk factors for adult diseases have been associated with lower levels of activity in children. Other associations have also been found between early life factors, up to age five, and childhood obesity. To find out more about the early life influences on children's level of physical activity, researchers observed children aged 11 to 12 who were taking part in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Each child wore an accelerometer for seven days, which recorded the intensity and frequency of physical activity by the minute. Data was collected from over 5,000 children, who were observed for at least 10 hours during 3 days, and were analyzed according to various factors hypothesized to affect physical activity.

Women With Depression At Risk For Osteoporosis
A study from the National Institute of Mental Health has found that women who suffer from depression are more likely to enter menopause with an increased risk of bone fractures. Researchers report that 17% of women with depression had decreased bone mass in the femoral neck, compared to 2% of women who did not have depression. Additionally, low bone mass in the lumbar spine was found in 20% of depressed women, compared to 9% who were not depressed. The researchers theorized that women with depression have overactive immune systems that produce a chemical known as IL-6. This chemical is associated with bone loss as well as promoting inflammation. During adolescence, bone mass reaches its peak and begins to decline through the rest of life, thinning at a faster rate after a woman undergoes menopause.

Pomegranates Reduce Prostate Cancer
A type of antioxidant found in pomegranates may contribute to prostate health, according to a study by researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles. Antioxidants known as ellagitannins and their metabolites accumulated in the prostates of mice in this laboratory study. The researchers then grafted prostate cancer cells onto mice whose immune systems had been deliberately hampered. One group of mice was then treated with ellagatannins and their metabolites.
