(Book, 297 pgs and study guide, 24 pgs.) This innovative CPE program explores 10 non-traditional factors--air-conditioning, drugs, pollution, suburban sprawl, crime, toxic food, microbes, stress, food additives, and sleep debt--which may be contributing to the world-wide obesity epidemic. This fast-paced analysis includes novel ideas that will enable you to help your clients and patients manage their weight and reduce related diseases. Upon completion of this CPE program you will be better able to:

--Integrate clients' needs with dynamic plans and proposed interventions to guide them in achieving permanent and healthy weight management.
--Frame individual as well as community-based solutions which may alleviate the growing obesity burden in our societies by confronting novel aspects of this multifactorial problem.
--Encourage broad-based and disruptive thinking among individuals, corporations, communities and policy makers who are stakeholders in obesity outcomes.

2. NUTRITION NEWS YOU CAN USE
Higher egg consumption may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes
This study followed 2,332 middle-aged and older men, who at the start of the study did not have diabetes (T2D) or heart disease, for 20 years. Findings revealed that men who ate the most eggs were 38% less likely to have developed diabetes compared to those who ate the fewest eggs. The authors concluded: "Higher egg intake was associated with a lower risk of T2D in this cohort of middle-aged and older men."
ACTION STEPS: Help your patients become more knowledgeable about how to lower their risk of diabetes. When you enter the keywords "lower risk of diabetes" in the search field at www.easyCPEcredits.com you will find 10 different CPE programs addressing this topic, including our bestselling "Medical Nutrition Therapy for Diabetes Mellitus", 7th Edition, by diabetes expert Marion Franz, http://www.wolfrinke.com/CEFILES/C249CPEcourse.html.

4. NINE HABITS OF VERY HAPPY PEOPLE--PART II
by Wolf J. Rinke, PhD, CSP, RDN
In the previous issue of this eNewsletter (click here) we reviewed the first four habits you must master if you want to be happy:
1. Love what you do
2. Chase your dreams
3. Nourish an attitude of gratitude
4. Love someone deeply
Now let's take a look at the other five.
5. Treat your "bodymind" like a temple
That's what hard-core bench scientist Dr. Candance Pert calls our body and mind, because her work has unequivocally demonstrated that the mind and the body are one, and that thoughts are things, things that manifest themselves in the body and in your life. So if you think "bad" or negative thoughts then that will have a negative impact on your body. And of course the reverse is true. Since the mind can have only one thought at a time, get in the habit of monitoring your thoughts and self-talk by asking: "is what I'm thinking about right now negative?" (The worst is hate.) If it is, it will move you away from happiness and optimum health. On the other hand positive thoughts--like love, kindness and appreciation--will move you in a positive direction. This is so powerful that there is a whole science that is concerned with this--psychoneuroimmunology, or PNI for short. (Want to know more read her book: "Molecules of Emotions: The Science Behind Mind-Body Medicine").
6. Laugh more
Go ahead and laugh right now. Can't seem to get it going? Go to the bathroom, stick your tongue out, wiggle your nose and make the silliest face you can possibly come up with and get yourself to laugh. If you need more help join a laughing club, popularized in India. Or consult with a "certified laughter leader." (Hey, I'm not making this stuff up!) A good way to nurture this is to laugh more at yourself. It will cause you to take yourself less serious--which is a great start because you are not nearly as important as you think you are. (I'm including myself in that statement; so don't get bent out of shape). Laughter has innumerable benefits, it turns on your endorphins and other internal "drugs" that are far more powerful than anything that you can ingest--legal or illegal. In fact it is so powerful that Norman Cousins claims that he laughed himself to good health after being diagnosed with an incurable disease.
7. Give more of what you want
A shortcut to happiness is making other people feel happy. Why? Because "if you want more of something--you have to give it first." Make people happy and you will be happier. Hate people and you will live in a hateful world. Love people the way they are, and you will experience more love. You catch my drift. Actually you already knew that, that's why you are much more anxious to give a gift than get one. Happiness certainly does not come from things. Otherwise the happiest people on earth would be lottery winners. They are not. In fact they often become discouraged and depressed because they become obsessed with "stuff," to the point that most lottery winners are broke three years after they have won the jackpot. Superwoman and I have come to the realization that less is more. That is to say, the more stuff we have the more problems and stress we have. That's why we evaluate every new opportunity by asking ourselves whether taking advantage of the new opportunity will add to the quality of our lives. If the answer is yes, we go for it, if the answer is no, we don't.
8. Develop "learned optimism"
Prof. Marty Seligman who has had a tremendous influence on getting psychologist to focus on the good--what he has dubbed "positive psychology"--wrote a powerful book of the same title. His research has demonstrated that we can learn to be more optimistic by developing a "positive explanatory style (PES)." The way you do that is by focusing on the good stuff, especially when bad things happen to you. In other words you master the art of "fake it until you make it." Research has shown that people who have developed their PES are able to evaluate "reality" more clearly--just the opposite of what most people assume--and process "bad" news more effectively. They also are more likely to accept what you cannot change and move on. In short, learned optimism will inoculate you against the negative attitude virus and his big cousins--stress and depression.
9. Keep hope alive
Hope is an incredibly powerful emotion. Without it, you not only become unhappy--you may die. No one has told that story more powerfully than Dr. Victor Frankl in his book "Man's Search for Meaning" in which he detailed the role of hope for those who survived the German concentration camps. So be sure to never give up hope, no matter how bleak it gets. And even more important, be sure not to confuse inconveniences with problems. Because many of the "problems" that we get ourselves all worked up about are just inconveniences, not tragedies. When you are in the middle of one of these, a great diagnostic is to ask yourself: "How will I feel about this in five years from now." And then act accordingly. To deal more effectively with the real tragedies--for example I was just diagnosed with cancer--turn to the source of hope and inspiration that works for you. It may be religion, spirituality, meditation, or reading a great motivational book. It will help you keep hope alive and make you more optimistic and happier.

5. HEAR WOLF "HOWL"--I MEAN SPEAK
Recommend me to the meeting planner of your upcoming state or local dietetic association and I will help make your next meeting a "howling success." As a way of giving back, I speak to ADA groups at significantly reduced rates.
6. HUMOR BREAK
On a military training exercise, the command radio operators were getting very bored one quiet night, when breaking the silence a voice asked over the air..."Are there any friendly bears listening?"
After a moment, another voice replied "Yes, I'm a friendly bear," and then another "I'm a friendly bear too!"
At this point, the Officer at Headquarters grabbed his microphone and let loose a blistering tirade at the operators for fooling around on an important radio link. When he had finished, there was silence for about ten seconds.
Then a small voice said, "You're not a very friendly bear, are you?"
