Giving Healthy Holidays and a Happy New Year
The warmth and joy of the holidays often
stirs the giving spirit, boosting
donations to food banks. All
contributions are welcome, of
course, but food donors can
add extra value to their gifts by
making careful choices when
scouring the pantry or grocery
store for food contributions,

(UCCE) nutrition educators.

1. Analysis of Fish Oil Studies Finds That Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Literally hundreds of clinical trials, including

claims, and frustrated

Brief Exercise Immediately Enhances Memory, UCI Study Finds
A short burst of moderate exercise enhances
the consolidation of memories in both healthy older
adults and those with mild
cognitive impairment, scientists
with UC Irvine’s Center for the
Neurobiology of Learning &
Memory have discovered (1).
Most research has
focused on the benefits of a
long-term exercise program on
overall health and cognitive
function with age. But the UCI
work is the first to examine the
immediate effects of a brief
bout of exercise on memory.
In their study, postdoctoral researcher Sabrina

Cotman and Lawrence Cahill

She believes the improved
memory may be related to the
exercise-induced release of
norepinephrine, a chemical
messenger in the brain known to
play a strong role in memory
modulation. This hypothesis is
based on previous work
demonstrating that increasing
norepinephrine through

Addition of Technology to Standard Weight Loss Plan Appears
Beneficial for Greater Weight Loss
Use of a personal digital assistant (PDA) and
telephone coaching appears to enhance short-term
weight loss when used in conjunction with an
existing physician-directed weight loss treatment
program, according to a
report in the Archives of
Internal Medicine (1).
“Little is known about
