]]> Comment on A recession maybe, but not when it comes to cheap sweets! by Ben http://initforhealth.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/a-recession-maybe-but-not-when-it-comes-to-cheap-sweets/#comment-130 Ben Thu, 26 Mar 2009 19:12:19 +0000 http://initforhealth.wordpress.com/?p=168#comment-130 Great article. Definitely a lot of useful information. I myself am overweight and I hate how some of the tv shows are exploiting overweight people. For example, the biggest loser. They had them pulling cars! How do you feel about this type of tv? Look at the article below and you will see what I mean.

]]> Comment on Do you get family support? by Andrea Lella http://initforhealth.wordpress.com/2006/06/12/do-you-get-family-support/#comment-105 Andrea Lella Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:13:27 +0000 http://initforhealth.wordpress.com/2006/06/12/do-you-get-family-support/#comment-105 My kids ALL need to loose some weight. They also need understand how to eat healthy and why. This lesson is hard one to learn, especially for my youngest child who has PDD. To help with the concept of good nutrition, I found this wonderful site through the government that REALLY teaches children and adults about healthy living. Below are three links. One is to a diet planner. All you need to do is enter your age, weight, height and activity level and it develops a menu guide for you. Another link is just for kids and it explains nutrition in a basic way. The third link is to a Nutrition Game just for kids. It is very fun, animated and has great sound effects, but best of all, it really teaches the concept of eating healthy. Let me know how you all like these sites! :) http://www.mypyramid.gov/mypyramid/index.aspx http://www.mypyramid.gov/kids/index.html http://www.mypyramid.gov/kids/kids_game.html My kids ALL need to loose some weight.

Self-injury obviously doesn't directly lead to suicide and the vast majority of teenagers who self-injure don't go on to kill themselves. It is true, however, that people who kill themselves are more likely to have a history of self-injury than people who die in other ways. So self-injury is a risk-factor for later suicide. I'm as mystified by the focus on mother-daughter relationships as you are. I’m not sure that linking suicide to cutting is exactly a leap.

I just read the article which definitely is better--of course--thank the sensationalizde Science Times article. However, it doesn't really change my questions--what causes the serotonin changes? And why ALWAYS target moms as the cause of everything? just some things to wonder about? In addition, the researchers make a HUGE and I think incorrect leap in their intro. linking suicide w/ cutting so directly and rationalizing this research based on that. The research is viable w/out needing to make the incorrect stretch that self-injury leads to suicide. Thanks for the link!
