Posted by Neill AbayonDaily consumption of an antioxidant-rich melon extract may prevent obesity, according to a study with hamsters fed a high fat diet.
Consumption of the extract in combination with a high-fat diet resulted in 29 percent lower body weight compared to animals fed only the high-fat diet.
The melon extract is a rich source of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD). Sometimes called 'the enzyme of life', it is the first antioxidant mobilized by your cells for defense. It is thought to be more powerful than antioxidant vitamins, as it activates your body's production of its own antioxidants, including catalase and glutathione peroxidase.

Whether one is naturally skinny or not, the points above are useful. (I haven’t read this book yet.) Though I’m a naturally super skinny person (Born To Be Super Thin - http://omnigens.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/000015/ ), I know that I still need to pursue a healthier way of life. We need to have a more proactive and healthy lifestyle.
Beside some lifestyle change, we need to know about the underlying cause of our weight issue. Thus, we can discover more effective and productive solution. Therefore, this article Useful Weight Management Insight ( http://omnigens.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/000017/ ) contains some information that is useful to our weight management focus.
Have a nice day!
