Elbow pain and clicking while golfing

Started by Moore1950 on July 29, 2008 9:03 PM

I really don't want to pay to see an orthopedist ... anyone ever experience this?

Obesity and Bone Density Linked

Posted August 27, 2007 3:23 PM

There's a link between obesity and osteoporosis. The obesity gene, which helps maintain body weight and fertility, plays a key role in controlling bone density. A study shows that leptin, the hormone produced by the obesity gene, acts as a natural bone inhibitor by telling the brain to slow down the rate of bone formation. The study is the first to show that the brain has a central role in Read more...
