Hello from Inside!

As you can see, we featured videos/audio about “obesity” on our home page recently.  For Insider who has been Inside all the time, the o-word is something fast approaching…  at this time Insider is in the ‘normal’ zone ‘medical wise’ but almost on the verge of being considered having a metabolic syndrome. :-(  So in order to avoid diseases associated with adult lifestyle habits, Insider decided to use iUniv to gain knowledge on how to tackle obesity. 

Actually, the trigger was the death of a famous man who passed away recently, which Insider read in the news.  It seemed that the remote causes of his death were the facts that he was obese, and he had been suffering from diabetes (probably type 2) for a long time.

iUniv introduces you to contents from a wide range of fields, and what Insider is proud about iUniv is that we can learn not only ‘academic’ subjects but also things that lead to our ordinary lives, in English and Japanese (and Spanish - Insider found a few of them regarding this issue; thinks it was about diabetes)

According the the contents featured on our home page, the lifestyle habits that lead to obesity are:

• Lack of sleep
• Bad basal metabolism
• Lack of physical exercises
• Being with a lean person who eats a lot (probably because he/she gives you an image that eating a lot does not affect weight)
• And of course, intake of fatty food

Seems like all apply to Insider!!!  Need to make a change.

By the way, the most impressive content featured this time was:

DEL MAR COLLEGE
Lectures at Del Mar
“Children of the Corn Syrup” lecture by Dr. Stephen W. Ponder
http://iuniv.tv/top/episode/eid/6327/pid/498

The video features child obesity and lifestyle on food consumption.
The lecturer, who is a type 1 diabetes patient himself, intrigues us with a non-nonsense-but-humorous lecture.  The lecture also features photographs of ‘supersize’ meals that makes us feel gross (oops) even by looking at them.  This video is surely educational but at the same time helps us reduce our appetites, which means that it helps our diet.  So it is a recommendable content in more ways than one.  Enjoy!
