Where's The Fat?

- By EDMUND R. BURKE, PH.D.

Exercise Combined With Diet Cuts Bodyfat, But From Where? Do you lose more weight by cutting calories than you do by exercising more? Recent evidence slightly tips the scales toward exercising. A study in December's Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise followed 26 formerly-sedentary women for 13 weeks. One group of women cycled for a half-hour once or twice a week while cutting 200 calories a day from their diet. Another cycled three to four times a week while eating the same as usual. And a third made no changes. Not surprisingly, the third group lost no fat. But both exercise groups lost similar amounts of visceral fat--deep, hard fat that shapes the typical beer belly. Visceral fat has been associated with heart disease and diabetes. The three-or-four-times-a-week exercise group, however, lost more subcutaneous fat--the kind that lays just beneath the skin, primarily in your arms and legs. Though not harmful, subcutaneous fat makes you look flabby.

The SKLZ Workout Of The Week

WHAT'S YOUR BODY SHAPE? Waist-to-Hip Ratio Tells Where The Fat's At You're not as slim as you'd like to be. But you've never really thought of yourself as being overweight either. So when you read about the benefits of maintaining a "healthy weight," you wonder where you fit in--is your weight OK, or is it putting your health at risk? A simple do-it-yourself evaluation reported in the Mayo Clinic Health Letter can give you an idea of what shape your shape is in, and if you might benefit from shedding a few pounds. The waist-to-hip ratio indicates where most of your fat is located. People who carry most of their weight around their waists are often referred to as "apples." Those who carry most of their weight below their waist--around the hips and thighs--are often referred to as "pears." Generally, it's better to have a pear shape than an apple shape. That's because fat around the waist is associated with an increased risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer. Fat around your hips and thighs is considered less of a health risk.

To find out what shape you are, measure your hips at their widest point and your waist at its narrowest (usually at the navel, but this may vary). Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. A ratio greater than .80 for a woman and greater than 1.0 for a man indicates an apple shape.

TURN OFF THAT TV! Get Your Kids Up Off The Couch, Excessive TV Watching Is Making Them Fat Knowing that the overweight children of today are likely to become the overweight adults of tomorrow mandates that you pay careful attention to your child's diet, exercise and lifestyle habits. A study reported in a recent issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association reports on dated collected from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which measured the amount of physical activity and television watching among 4,000 children in U.S. households and the relationship to their Body Mass Index (BMI) and percent bodyfat. Overall, approximately 20% of the children reported fewer than three exercise sessions per week (which was even higher among girls); whereas 26% of the children watched more than four hours of television per day. Yes, per day! Not surprisingly, the increased television watching was associated with increased BMI and total bodyfat levels. The authors concluded that increased television watching was associated with the increasing prevalence of overweight children inthe U.S., and that children were increasingly participating in sedentary-leisure activities, such as playing video games, watching television and using computers, and that this trend was more than coincidental. As parents you need to encourage your children to participate in regular exercise, particularly activities that they can engage in for the rest of their lives. Good examples are running, cycling, weight training, soccer, bodybuilding, basketball, swimming and skiing. If we do not stop this trend, the health care crisis will continue to grow to bigger and bigger proportions in this country.

George Mason Holds Off Bowie State Lady Bulldogs 83-81 in Basketball Exhibition

FAIRFAX, Va. (November 2, 2014) - The Bowie State University women's basketball team fell short of victory in a 83-81 exhibition loss to Division I George Mason University on Sunday afternoon at the Patriot Center.

Junior Ty-Nita Baker (Houston, Miss.) paced the Lady Bulldogs with 31 points and grabbed eight rebounds while senior Donia Naylor (Washington, D.C.) added a double-double of 14 points and 14 rebounds. Senior Alisha Burley (Baltimore, Md.) and junior Alauna Jackson (Ellicott City, Md.) tallied 17 and 11 points respectively for the Lady Bulldogs.

The Patriot’s were led by Taylor Brown with 31 points while Kristi Mokube added 11 points. Qierra Murray, Tayler Dodson and Talisha Watts contributed 10 points each for George Mason. Watts also hauled down a game-high 17 rebounds.

Free throws really hurt Bowie State as the Lady Bulldogs shot a disappointing 26-of-41 (63.4 percent) from the charity stripe. George Mason struggled even more, making 28-of-45 (62.2 percent) at the free throw line.

After a 13-all tie, George Mason went on a 6-0 run before a Naylor free throw stopped the Patriot’s run. Cyndi Cole popped a 3-pointer and Mokube layup and free throw created the run.

The Lady Bulldogs experienced their first lead at 25-24 after a pair of free throws by junior Sheldeen Joseph (Belair St. Vincent and the Grenadines) at the 6:25 mark of the first half.  A Talisha Watts layup on George Mason’s next possession shifted the advantage back over the Patriot’s. However, Bowie State’s Burley answered with a layup on the other end and the Lady Bulldogs used the momentum to take a 38-32 lead into halftime.

Bowie State shot 42.9 percent (12-of-28) in the first 20 minutes but struggled at the free throw, making only 13-of-21. George Mason hit 11-of-39 first half field goals (28.2 percent) with four of those field goals behind the arc.

The second half was a much different story, as the Patriots would outscore Bowie State 28-10 over the first 12 minutes of the half to take a 62-48 lead. The Lady Bulldogs started the second half 1-for-12 from the field and trailed 50-43 with 11:52 left in the game.

The Bulldogs would rally back with a 28-20 run over the final 6:20 of the game, but Mason would hold on to take the win thanks to 10 free throws from Brown in the last three minutes of play.

“I’m proud of every single player as they fought to the very end”, said head coach Renard Smith. “To lose by two after being down by 10 late in the second half was very impressive.”

Bowie State begins the regular season on Friday (November 14th) against Lock Haven University in the opening game of the Wolf Bus Lines Classic hosted by Shippensburg University.

Veterinarian finds an answer to cancer

Veterinary Surgeon Finds
an Answer to Cancer

Veterinary surgeon Dr John Carter, MRCVS, MB, AcA was very odd. His office had no receptionist. There were no appointment times. You just showed up with your pet and waited. And waited. And waited.

And yet people were happy to come with their pets - some traveling hundreds of miles - to his drafty old house on the outskirts of London, England.

Most arrived well prepared for their ordeal. They turned up with books, cool boxes of food and flasks of coffee to keep them going.

What was so special about this eccentric character, and why were people (and animal companions) prepared to put up with his unusual practice? They had a good reason. . .

Bowie State Bulldogs Cruise 28-7 over The Lincoln University Lions

 

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. (November 1, 2014) Bowie State University football started a little slow but finished strong as the Bulldogs cruised to a 28-7 victory over The Lincoln University.

The Bulldogs defense held Lincoln to 88 total offensive yards with junior Anthony McDaniel leading the Bowie State defense with eight total tackles, which included two sacks and six tackles for a loss. Redshirt senior Paxton Queen (Upper Marlboro, Md.) had a productive afternoon, recording seven tackles (all solo), three tackles for a loss and had one pass breakup.

Bowie State’s offense pounded out 343 rushing yards on 64 carries, both season-highs.

Senior Keith Brown (Temple Hills, Md.) rushed for a season-high 131 yards on 23 carries and scored two touchdowns. Junior Kendall Jefferson (Temple Hills, Md.) carried the ball 20 times for a personal season-best 129 yards and scored one touchdown. Jefferson’s longest run of the contest was a 54 yard jaunt early in the fourth quarter which is a team season-best.

The Bowie State quarterback tandem of junior Trevon Bennett (Fort Washington, Md.) and graduate student Matthew Goggans (Pine Grove, Calif.) completed a combined 4-of-16 passes for a season-low 45 yards.

After back-to-back turnovers by both teams, Bowie State was able to capitalize on an interception by redshirt freshman Britton Savoy (Fort Washington, Md.). Nine plays and 74 yards later, Jefferson rushed nine yards for the score. Senior Mario Diaz-Aviles (Washington, D.C.) added the extra point for a 7-0 Bowie State lead at the 6:24 mark of the first quarter.

Lincoln (1-8, 0-6 CIAA) took advantage of a Bowie State miscue on the rainy and cold afternoon, when Tyahir Mitchell (Wilmington, Del.) picked off a Bennett pass and returned it 45 yards for the touchdown. Brett Arkelian’s (Clovis, Calif.) extra point was good, tying the score at 7-all.

Brown rushed for his first touchdown of the afternoon, pretty much walking in from 12 yards out at the 4:53 mark of the second quarter and Diaz-Aviles added the extra point to give Bowie State a 14-7 lead they would never relinquish.

Bowie State (4-5, 4-2 CIAA) pushed the lead to 21-7 by halftime following a 15-yard Goggans to junior Garry Cropper (Odenton, Md.) pass, catch and score. Cropper led the Bulldog receivers with three catches for 45 yards.

Brown scored his second rushing touchdown of the game with 12:16 remaining in the game and the Diaz-Aviles PAT extended the Bowie State lead to 28-7.

Stephen Scott was Lincoln’s top ground gainer with 90 yards on 29 carries. Edward McKenzie (Patterson, N.J.) completed 7-of-22 passes for 73 yards but was sacked five times.

Akeem Jordan (Washington, D.C.) led Lincoln in reception yards with 37 and Brion Robinson (Silver Spring, Md.) tallied a game-high 11 tackles in the loss.

The Bulldogs will close out the 2014 season at home on Saturday (November 8^th) at 1 pm versus the Vikings of Elizabeth City State University. Prior to the game, twelve Bowie State senior football players will be honored in a special pre-game ceremony.
