Bicycling may be what you need to control your weight, ladies, says a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Walking helps, too, but only if you’re going at a brisk pace.
P.S. Kinda wishing I had a valid reason to ditch my current bike helmets so I could replace it with this super cute, Missoni-esque one from Nutcase.

Love, love, love this airy open-plan kitchen. (Image: Living Etc)
Where’s the closest grocery store; how functional is the home’s layout; how safe is the ‘hood; and, of course, how much closet space there is.
All things you consider when you’re in the market for a new space to call home.
But you might want to consider how dense the traffic is in the area, or you may find your girth expanding over time. A new study conducted at the University of Alberta has found that people living in neighbourhoods where they perceived the traffic made taking a stroll unpleasant were more likely to have higher BMI than those who didn’t.

I’ve been contemplating a new cell phone for ages and ages and am leaning towards an iPhone (the main thing holding me back is how slowly I anticipate I’ll be typing on the touch screen, which is making me think a BlackBerry is the way to go — I am very impatient…).
This new Mayo Clinic-developed Walk n’ Play app, though, that I just read about on Best Health, does tip the scale in favour of the iPhone.
That app and SmackTalk — gotta have it.
