Study author David Levitsky, a professor of nutritional sciences at Cornell, says his work adds to a growing body of evidence that overturns a long-held belief: that people will compensate for missed calories.

Exercising doesn't lead to a significant increase in calorie consumption, while lower levels of physical activity, such as walking, might even cause people to eat less, according to a report published in the journal Appetite that reviewed several studies on the subject. Many studies on the subject of hunger and food intake have shown mixed findings.

At Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, doctor's orders can include an unlikely prescription: meditation.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324345804578424863782143682.html

Meditation increasingly is being worked into hospital rehabilitation programs as studies show it can lower blood pressure and help patients with chronic illness cope with pain and depression.

Centuries ago, salt was more valuable than gold, but today the condiment has fallen out of favor. Now we know that its main component, sodium, can raise blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Scientists have turned up ample evidence that consumption of seafood high in omega-3 fatty acids may help protect against cardiovascular disease. But the data have usually been indirect, gleaned from food questionnaires used to estimate consumption.

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/01/a-new-endorsement-for-fish/

A 14-year study finds that people over 65 with the highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids live 2.2 years longer than those with the lowest levels.
