During several of our class discussions regarding inflammatory diseases, we have mentioned the importance of diet and exercise in preventing and remediating some of these diseases. We have also discussed the lack of education in the U.S. specifically about diet and exercise. I just learned that UA Campus Health is introducing a new web-based program to educate students about living healthy, active lives. Apparently, everyone with a UA net ID and password will have access to this web-based service, which is described in the UA News (see link below) as “kind of like having an online personal trainer and nutrition adviser that’s available to you 24/7.” The website provides information about preparing nutritious food with limited resources, finding nearby restaurants that serve nutritious food, implementing new exercise programs, and even tracking fitness goal progress. For more information, follow this link to the UA news article:

Inflammablog3 is the third Blog made specially to be shared by two courses at two schools: PSIO 495 at University of Arizona in Tucson, and IMMU 7630 at University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver. PSIO is a colloquium on inflammation and IMMU is a lecture course on immunology for graduate students. You can visit the Original Inflammablog and Inflammablog2.
Inflammablog3 is the place to post short reviews about selected subjects in immunology, inflammation, and infection, and have them commented on (and possibly even improved) by classmates and colleagues. It is managed by John Cohen in Denver, and Zoë Cohen in Tucson. We invite students in either course to comment on the postings by their classmates and by the students in the other course.
We particularly want this to be a place to practice clear, friendly communication to people who have a background in science, but are not experts in this particular area. Sort of the Café Scientifique crowd.

Your post was of particular interest to me because I'm pretty into health and fitness myself, and never new this was available to us as students. That comes to bring the question whether or not many other students know of its availability?! Not only does the word need to get out about this webpage but it still takes many self driven factors to make a change into living healthier with diet and exercise.... its not all going to change at the click of any button
ReplyDeleteI wish I would have known about this site 4 years ago! It has everything a personal tainer would recommend to you. The site gives you workout tips for various places, so if you have to workout in your room or if you dont have a membership to the gym, they'll recommend exercises specifically to your location. I especially like the "chow town" tab, which tells you how to make quick and nutritious snacks.
