There has been some talk that eating local honey will somehow give you relief from the sneezing, itchy eyes of allergy season. Sadly research does not seem to back that theory up.

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy take a break at the FitBloggin 2011 conference while Rosie Battista shares why sleeping naked after 40 is the way to go. As Rosie says don’t be afraid to “Think outside the box.” She wants you to make each meal as “naked” as possible. That means eating foods in their most natural state. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Don’t buy food in a box or can or any food that has a label on it or has ingredients that you can’t pronounce. This way you can build your healthiest and sexiest body. When you start doing that then you have the confidence to sleep naked and present your best self.
There is a study that just came out that is trying to connect weight in kids to having their tonsils removed. The connection seems non-existent to us but you know these researchers have a lot of time on their hands.

Since only half a million kids get their tonsils removed each year – what explains the weight gain in the millions of other kids?

Did you know that about 500,000 get liposuction each year. I know I thought that number was lower than I expected also. As everyone knows liposuction removes fat from one area of your body – your waist, your thighs, etc. What everyone doesn’t know about lipo, according to a recent study, is that the fat when it is removed from one area in your body comes back to a different area of your body after the procedure. You body defends the fat – it doesn’t want it to really go away – but it is okay with it moving to different location. So if you get liposuction on your love handles don’t be surprised a few months later if you start seeing fat appear on your upper back.
