There’s
good news for those who are genetically prone to obesity -- a new
report says simple exercise can decrease the effect of those genes.

activity such as walking the dog, riding a bike or just taking the
stairs can reduce the effect of the obesity gene by up to 27-percent and
help people maintain a healthy weight. Source Link

may be under fire for its pricing plans, but it’s still the king of

computer, on game consoles, set-top boxes, smart TV’s and and mobile
devices. Source Link

energy consumption as promised, and Congress has the option to revert to
the shorter schedule that was in effect before 2007. Source Link
