Parents model behavior for their children, whether consciously or not. A recent survey conducted by British teen mag Sugar (no relation to the PopSugar Network) found that a dieting mother can have unfortunate consequences for daughters.
Out of the 512 girls surveyed, ages 12 to 18, six percent had an eating disorder; that number rose to one in 10 among girls with mothers who dieted.

I'm becoming a big fan of DailyBurn — a website that lets its users track workout, diet, and health goals in easy-to-read charts and graphs. There's a ton of great health and fitness information on the site and it has a social side that lets users interact with other members.
If you're not very tech savvy, don't be afraid.

Oftentimes I'll end up watching Martha Stewart when I'm at the gym, it's not that I love the show, but it's always on when I am there and I like her tips. While watching her make some ridiculously decadent baked goods, I sometimes wonder if those who are working out behind me are wondering why the heck I am watching a show about food while at the gym.
For me, it's all about the cooking tips, but after reading an interesting article on how food TV is eye candy for fitness fiends, I could see how it would make someone else angry.

Food poisoning is the result of eating food contaminated with bacteria or other toxins. Symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach cramps, and generally start 4 - 36 hours after eating contaminated food. While many cases are caused by bacteria, some cases can result from eating poisonous plants (some mushrooms, for instance) and animals (pufferfish).
