Weight drops, mood soars

A big reason many of us want to lose weight is simply to feel better-happier, healthier, more at ease, more energized. Now there's evidence a twist on lowcarb eating not only speeds off fat, \"it can lead to remarkable mood improvements,\" says Georgia Ede, M.D., Harvard-trained author of Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind. Consider this: When scientists recently put seniors on a low-carb plan enhanced with nuts, they lost 14.8 times more weight and saw spirits soar 6.89 times higher than traditional low-cal dieters. As a bonus, \"when well-being increases that much, sustaining healthy changes becomes easier long-term,\" notes Dr. Ede. Colorado grandmother Ashley Malik is living proof. Four years after dropping five sizes and reversing prediabetes, Ashley's still lean and flying high. Read on for her inspiring story and to learn how to get your own waist-shrinking, joy-boosting results.

Sail through summer free of UTIs

As we age, the risk of a urinary tract infection (UTI) increases due to weaker pelvic floor muscles and hormonal changes that allow bacteria to build in the urinary tract.
