Kick-start your body’s fight against fat with these simple diet and exercise tips.
Everyone’s metabolism (the rate at which the body burns kilojoules) is different and is influenced by many factors. These include age (your basal metabolic rate [BMR], the standard measurement for metabolism, slows naturally for every 10 years past age 30); gender (men have more lean muscle than women, which can make their BMR faster); genetics; height and weight. You can’t turn back the clock or change your sex, but you might be able to improve your BMR and so burn more kilojoules. Here’s how.

GET MOVING
The more lean muscle you have, the more body fat you can burn. You’ll gain muscle faster if you work the major muscle groups (bottom, legs, chest and arms) -and you don’t need long sessions. If you’re a morning person, wake up early to do 15 minutes of resistance training, such as squats or push-ups. Or get active later in the day: walk, bike-ride, or dance like mad while preparing dinner. Read more of 8 Ways To Boost Your Metabolism

Anna Nicole Smith, the small-town Texas curvaceous blonde girl whose life played out as an extraordinary tabloid tale - Playboy centerfold, jeans model, bride of an octogenarian oil tycoon, reality-show subject, tragic mother - died Thursday after collapsing at a hotel. She was 39. The circumstances of her death are still unconfirmed, but Pentagon officials are hinting that a Predator drone and a half dozen precision-guided missiles may have played a role.

Imagine a disease that can mimic dozens of other diseases, a disease in which the body’s immune system attacks healthy cells instead of destroying foreign objects such as viruses or bacteria.

Lupus can affect anyone, but 90 percent of those who develop it are women, most in their reproductive years. Almost any body organ can be affected.

Symptoms can be variable and will differ from person to person, making it a very difficult condition to diagnose. Some of the most common signs are:
