Giant panda Tia Shan at National Zoo in Washington (Photo Credit: By Fernando Revilla (Own work) [CC BY-SA 2.5 via Wikimedia Commons)

Tim Caro, Professor of Wildlife Biology at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) has made it his mission to understand the evolution of coloration in mammals. The researcher spent twenty years investigating why zebras sport black and white stripes (to ward off flies) and even wrote a book, Zebra Stripes, about his epic discovery. Now, Caro has solved the age-old mystery of why giant pandas also sport the dual coloration.

According to the researcher, Understanding why the giant panda has such striking coloration has been a long-standing problem in biology that has been difficult to tackle because virtually no other mammal has this appearance, making analogies difficult,

Over the years, there have been numerous theories to explain the animals signature black and white color. Some experts hypothesized that it was to scare predators. Others believed that the white fur provided the mammal with much-needed camouflage in the snow, while the dark patches enabled it to retain heat. There was also the theory that the markings on the pandas head kept it hidden from predators, while the dark circles around its eyes helped reduce the suns glare.

To solve the mystery once and for all, the UC Davis team who worked in collaboration with scientists at California State University, Long Beach, compared the coloring of different parts of the giant pandas body to those of 200 carnivore species, including 39 bear subspecies. This was no easy task given that the scientists had to carefully examine thousands of images and seek out the different areas of fur that were similar to those of the giant panda. Once they found a match, they looked further into the evolutionary pattern of the carnivore to ascertain if it could explain the reason the panda was sporting a similar color.

The team, who published their findings in the journal Behavioral Ecology, on February 28, discovered that different parts of the giant pandas coloring serve different purposes. As had been previously believed, the mammals white face, neck, belly, and rump, allow it to blend in with the snow during winter. Its black arms and legs are not to retain heat, but to help stay hidden in the shade during summer. This is particularly important for panda cubs that often perch themselves on tree tops to avoid being seen by predators, like jackals and snow leopards, who share the same mountainous habitat in China. The dark ears help scare off predators, while the black eye patches most likely enable giant pandas to recognize each other and, possibly, show aggression towards competitors.

According to the study, the giant pandas striking dual coloring may have to do with its poor diet, that comprises primarily of bamboo, which has little nutrition and very few calories. Since the mammals are unable to build up enough fat reserves to allow them to hibernate during the winter, they have no choice but to wander year-round in search of food.

The scientists speculate that instead of developing a summer and winter coat similar to those of small carnivores like the arctic fox, it (giant panda) has evolved a compromise white and black pelage [fur].

They maintain that the giant panda is not the only animal that has adopted this evolutionary strategy. Some larger species of wolverines (Gulo gol) that also traverse across several habitats often sport a similar black and white coloring.

The Paleo diet is the most popular food plan in the U.S., according to Grubhub. Image: IGphotography/Istock.com via AFP Relaxnews

The most popular regime in take-out dining in the United States is the Paleo Diet, a restrictive lifestyle that supposedly mimics the diets of our ancestors when they were hunter-gatherers.

Thats according to a new survey by take-out service Grubhub, which analyzed the volume of its take-out orders to extract conclusions on American diet habits.

Compared to 2015, online and mobile orders of Paleo foods increased 370 percent in 2016 across the U.S., says Grubhub, outpacing the raw diet, juice cleanse, veganism and gluten-free diets which round out the top five eating plans.

For the uninitiated, the Paleolithic diet, also known as the Caveman or Stone Age Diet, replicates the kinds of foods that would only have been available to Paleolithic humans. That means fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, nuts and seeds are allowed, but dairy, legumes, cereals and sugars are not.

For the survey, analysts looked at a combination of dietary tags and specific eating plans in order data from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2016.

The results were also broken down by city to reveal some interesting trends.

For example, Seattle emerged the most health-conscious and most finicky city in the U.S., with more residents placing special dietary orders for their takeout meal than any other city: Seattleites order 309 percent more foods related to eating plans and diets compared to the rest of the country.

The most popular eating plan in that city? Gluten-free foods.

Elsewhere, youre more likely to find vegans in cities like Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Chicago, while New Yorkers, Bostonians and residents in San Francisco are more likely to order low-fat meals.

The Paleo diet is particularly popular in Texas, particularly in Dallas, Houston and Austin, where locals favor the cavemans diet.

Here are the most popular eating plans across the U.S.:

Paleo: 370 percent increase in orders in 2016 vs. the year prior

Raw: 92 percent increase in orders in 2016 vs. the year prior

Juice cleanse: 89 percent increase in orders in 2016 vs. the year prior

Vegan: 58 percent increase in orders in 2016 vs. the year prior

Gluten-free: 35 percent increase in orders in 2016 vs. the year prior

Low-fat: 21 percent increase in orders in 2016 vs. the year prior

Mediterranean: 7 percent increase in orders in 2016 vs. the year prior

Keto: 5 percent increase in orders in 2016 vs. the year prior

SNAP FITNESS centers in Chatham, Auburn and Carlinville, and one in Springfield, have a new owner.

Adam Lopez, who took over the Chatham outlet last year, recently acquired the location on the west side of Springfield, as well as the centers in Auburn and Carlinville. Lopez, president of the Springfield School Board and a representative for Country Financial, said last week the previous owners for the three newly acquired locations decided to sell after moving out of state.

"We're going to be updating them," Lopez said. "They'll have a whole new look."

Lopez said the Snap Fitness at 1929 W. Iles Ave. will relocate this summer to a retail strip center near Del's Popcorn in the Parkway Pointe shopping center. The franchise also has a separately owned facility at 1362 Toronto Road in Springfield.

Plans are to update the Springfield facility as part of the move and to remodel the Auburn and Carlinville centers this fall.

The local fitness market has rapidly expanded the last few years, but Lopez said he believes there still is room for membership growth, especially in the 24-hour access market.

"People like the 24-7 hours. It's really become a trend," said Lopez, who added that he plans to lower rates. Lopez' father, Mike, is village president in Jerome

With age, life becomes more challenging, and to fend off many of these challenges, the Kokomo YMCA offers a variety of programs designed to meet those challenges.

By combining a consistent exercise routine and a dedicated support system, senior citizens can combat many of the issues that place limits on the things they enjoy doing.

China Antonie, director of healthy living at the YMCA, described some of the many options that seniors have that can remedy some of the difficulties senior citizens contend with on a daily basis.

Its all about quality of life. As we age things become more difficult, so the Y provides ways for seniors to work through some of their current physical limitations and provide preventative measures for fending off any further limitations. It is a combination of mind, body, and soul. When an individual is approaching their later years of their lives and want to maintain a high quality of life, it is important to continue to move, always looking for things to do that gets them up and moving, combining the use of their brain as well as their muscles.

The social aspect of these programs is just as important as the physical workouts. Of course, we provide the means for physically working out, but we also provide such things like volunteer programs that get seniors involved in the community, meeting new people, and sharing their life experiences through our mentorship programs, said Antoine.

Through the YMCAs Active Older Adults program, staff provide a plethora of exercise regimens that help strengthen muscles, provide more flexibility, and create more range of movement due to the limits placed on them either by arthritis, recovering strength and mobility after surgery, or whatever the case may be. By participating in these activities, it not only strengthens them physically, but it also helps in dealing with the psychological issues that many deal with when they reach their senior years.

The YMCA also offers many different exercise routines conducted in its indoor swimming pool, which is referred to as Aqua Exercise. Such programs include reviving joints, which is designed to improve muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility. The Y also provides aqua yoga, which the feeling of weightlessness in the water reduces the stress of painful joints, stabilizing them, and allowing the release of muscle tightness and discomfort. Aqua Yoga is more accessible to those who have trouble attending yoga classes conducted on the floor with a mat.

Another popular Also suited for most seniors is the Making Waves class, which is designed to improve cardiovascular fitness, endurance, balance, and flexibility with music and low-risk choreography in shallow water.

A big part of healthy living involving seniors is the social aspect of getting involved in something that allows them to participate in activities along with their peers, and Antoine explained one particular program that does just that.

Every third Thursday of each month we partner with Golden Living Center-Sycamore Village for the Lunch and Learn Series. This program brings a group senior citizens together to discuss a hot topic of their choice for which the YMCA provides a qualified speaker to come in and speak to them in our banquet room about that issue.

For instance, topics can be recovering from a stroke, cancer recovery, arthritis, and dealing with Alzheimers disease. These issues are issues that may be affecting either them or people they know and providing them some insight in how to best remedy the situation, said Antoine.

The Kokomo YMCA staff encourages seniors to inquire about the many other programs offered to them that can help them live happier. healthier, more productive lives.

The Kokomo YMCA is located at 114 N. Union St. For additional information call 765- 457-4447, or visit them on the web at kokomoymca.org.

Getting weak goes with aging, lifting weights is dangerous for older people, older people cant increase their strength? RIGHT? WRONG!

In the past few years many researchers have turned their attention to the question: Is muscle and strength loss a function of aging or is it a result of disuse? Recent studies show that if you dont use it you will lose it.

Getting older does not mean that you have to become weak and suffer from age related changes that affect older people who are sedentary. Several studies show that resistance-training exercises help maintain and increase muscle strength and size as we age. When muscle biopsies of men older than 50 who lifted weights were compared with those of 20-year-old men the biopsies looked the same. When biopsies of men 50 and older who did not exercise were compared with those of the same 20-year-old men their biopsies showed typical age related changes.

There are other factors, which cause changes in muscle size and strength. Hormones, heredity, nutrition and a decrease in protein synthesis all play a part in how gracefully the body ages.

Heredity cant be changed. You are who you are genetically. Exercise and good nutrition can stimulate the amount of testosterone released in the body of both men and women. Exercise can also increase the amount of protein utilization, which takes place in the body. These changes will have an affect on muscle size, strength and bone density. Both of these factors help to determine the quality of life a person maintains as they get older. Exercise also strengthens the bones, tendons and ligaments. Tendons connect muscle to bone. Ligaments connect bone to bone.

Strengthening muscles, tendons and ligaments with resistance exercise will make you stronger, help support the skeletal system and joints. Stronger muscles, tendons and ligaments can reduce your risk of having joint problems and help existing joint problems. You should talk with your doctor before you start because depending on what the joint problem, resistance training may aggravate it.

Aerobic exercises (walking, jogging, biking or swimming continuously for 15 minutes or more) are important but muscle-strengthening exercises are just as important to have a fit body. In fact, strength-building exercises are a necessary part of an aerobic program because they help keep the bones and joints strong enough to withstand aerobic training.

To stimulate muscle fibers to grow and increase in strength a demand must be placed on the muscle. Resistance training does this. Calisthenics is a form of resistance training but lifting weights or using workout machines does a more effective job. I recommend using a combination of free weights (dumbbells and barbells) and machines. Using free weights during some exercises will give you more control over the range of motion you go through. Because machines cant possibly fit every body shape they dont provide a full range of motion with every exercise. People who dont have access to resistance training equipment can improvise with sandbags, plastic bottles filled with water or even canned goods.

If youre a beginner have someone who knows what theyre doing take you through your first few workouts. Lifting weights can be dangerous if you dont do the exercises correctly. Always concentrate on what youre doing. Being careless and taking your movements for granted can cause injury. Concentrating on each repetition when you workout will also recruit more muscle fibers to do work making each repetition more efficient.

A complete workout should include exercises for each body part. This will include the chest, shoulders, triceps, back, biceps, forearm, thighs, calves and your abdominals (midsection). Start with 2 or 3 different exercises for each body part. Gradually work up to 8-12 repetitions for each exercise. Do each exercise 1-3 times to start. If you can do more than 12 repetitions for a set the weight is too light. If you cant do at least 8 repetitions for a set the weight is too heavy.

We strongly recommend that you have a professional show you what to include in your routine and that you get an OK from your physician before you start. If you have chronic conditions such as, congestive heart failure, hypertension, arrhythmias, angina or diabetes they must be stable before starting an exercise program.

Always breathe correctly during a resistance-training workout. Inhale during the relaxed phase and exhale during the actual lift. For instance, if youre doing an arm curl (bicep curl) inhale as the weight is lowered and exhale as you lift the weight. Dont over exaggerate your breathing this can cause dizziness.

Strengthening programs are being recommended for people well into their senior years to help them perform every day living activities such as walking, grooming, dressing, climbing stairs, and getting in and out of chairs. It also helps improve balance and coordination. When added together these qualities equal more independence.

Aging starts during your youth and is progressive. You cant stop the aging process but you can slow it down and improve your quality of life. For older but wiser beginners changes in strength and stamina can be seen within 3 weeks after initiating a training program. So what are you waiting for? Use it or lose it. Go on, get busy and have a fit day.

Before starting your fitness program, consult your physician.

Nutrition and aging

Theres no mythical fountain of youth to stop the aging process. Aging starts at birth. Good nutrition and daily vigorous exercise play a tremendous role in helping us age gracefully. Many ailments or physical problems associated with aging are due in part to a lack of activity and poor nutritional habits.

As we get older nutrition plays an important part in our health. Most nutritional needs of the older person are similar to those of their younger counterpart. Make sure you get in enough calcium, B vitamins and iron through a balanced diet. Keep a food diary for two weeks to determine what you need to add to your diet. An active person needs about 10 to 13 calories for every pound of body weight. You should eat 4 to 5 small meals that include 3 to 4 servings of fruits, 3 to 4 servings of vegetables, 2 to 3 servings of whole grains and 2 servings of proteins everyday.

A new map from the Pratt Health Foundation is promoting exercise, good eating habits and a healthy life style.

In age of computer technology where even grade schoolers have cell phones and kindergarten students know how to use smart boards, a health issue has taken shape from a reduction in physical activity.

To help combat this problem and get people into better shape, The Pratt Health Coalition, the Pratt Health Foundation and its Executive Director Dewayne Bryan, have come up with a unique way to attack the problem with a very low tech solution: a map.

That's right, a good old, unfold and lay out map that's hard to get folded up properly again. But this is no ordinary piece of paper. This map is a guide to a variety of physical activities and where to do these activities. Maps are available, free of charge, at the Pratt Area Chamber of Commerce in downtown Pratt.

The whole idea of the map is to show people the variety of healthy activities in Pratt and encourage them to get on their feet and get some exercise, Bryan said.

There are many places to get exercise in Pratt but a lot of people don't know every place available so the map was put together to show them and get them exercising.

Funding for the map came from a Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Recreational Trail grant. The Health Foundation, Pratt Regional Medical Center and the Pratt Area Chamber of Commerce all helped as well.

The map is the latest tool to getting more exercise and eating better. More sidewalks are planned to connect the city to the park system. This project should be done in the summer of 2018 and is a trail grant project too, Bryan said.

Getting kayak rentals at Pratt County Veteran's Memorial Lake is also a project. Working with the County Commission, they hope to have the kayaks available this summer, even if it's only a trial project, Bryan said.

All of these programs and activities are designed to get people exercising and encouraging them to eat better. There is a trend of obesity in Pratt and that can lead to a variety of health issues including diabetes. These programs and the map can help inspire people to take better care of themselves.

"We're trying to build up a culture of activity," Bryan said. "There are things to do in Pratt that people don't know about."

Bike riding is a great exercise and the Coalition has gotten bike racks in several locations and is working to get more installed to encourage people to get on a bike and go for a ride.

Besides promoting exercise and healthy eating, the map can also be used as a recruiting tool. People considering moving to Pratt will see the activities available in the community.

Businesses can use the map to encourage their employees to skip the coffee break and go for a walk break. Instead of a doughnut, get a piece of fruit instead. Better exercise and better eating leads to better health and that can help lower insurance rates.

"It's a quality of life issue," Bryan said.

The map is a photo of Pratt, probably taken from a satellite, they shows the city and is marked with established bike routes and potential bike routes, roads with shoulders, featured pedestrian paths, park locations, nature trails and even hotel locations.

Also on the map are places for activities including the Rolla Rena Skate Rink, Blythe Family Fitness, the PHS track at Zerger Field, Pratt County Fairgrounds, Green Sports Complex, Pratt County Historical Museum, B-19 Museum, Wildlife Parks and Tourism Museum, even the fish hatchery and Pratt Regional Medical Center.

On the back of the map there's a description of the healthy living features of these facilities, safety tips for bicycle riding and even a chart showing the amount of sugar in some of the most common drinks around.

Water is the best to drink but when water just won't do, use another drink but drink less of it. The sugar amounts vary quite a bit. Plain coffee, with no sugar added, actually has no sugar. But that big 44 ounce cola drink has a whopping 128 grams of sugar. The average sugar cube has 2.5 grams of sugar.

One last thing about the map. It has several Stan Reimer photos of the actual locations to entice people to get up and to for a walk, Bryan said.

5 Science-Backed Ways to Strengthen Your Willpower to Help You Lose Weight

It's no surprise that a lot of dieters blame a lack of self-control for their failure to reach their feel-great weight. However, if you believe that you've inherited the low willpower gene, don't give up. Willpower can be strengthened with proper training, just like lifting weights can pump up your muscles. And knowing the right exercises for your brain is the key to replenishing this resource.

Ready for the willpower workout? Below are five research-based mental practices that will help improve decision-making, conquer cravings, and keep your diet on track.

Self-control is in lock-step with your blood sugar. Research from Florida State University reported that when blood sugar levels plummet, you lose your ability to resist temptation. In order to keep blood sugars in check, eat slow-to-digest carbs such as fruit, veggies, beans, and whole grains. And keep this tip in mind the next time you decide to indulge on a piece of cake during the impromptu office party: refrain from eating sweets on an empty stomach since this will only result in a quick spike in sugar levels, followed by the dreaded sugar crash.

One of the best ways to keep your willpower from turning to tin is to steer clear of your downfall foods and those universal temptations that contain the can't-resist combo of sugar, fat, and salt like french fries, chips, baked goods, ice cream, pizza, and chocolate. Even just being in the presence of these classic comfort food favorites can suck up your self-control. Yet avoiding eye contact will encourage you to stay focused.

Studies indicate that watching food advertisements can light up certain areas of our brain, which in turn heighten our cravings. Also, similar research states the same reaction takes place in our brain when we watch cooking shows (sorry, Rachael Ray!) or spend time scrolling through drool-worthy food images and recipes on Instagram, Pinterest, or Facebook. So in other words, stop with the #foodporn.

Here's a little food for thought: researchers at Cornell University reveal that we are faced with about 220 food-related decisions every day, so the more of those choices that are left to chance (Which cereal should I buy? Do I want a turkey sandwich or salad for lunch?), the quicker you'll deplete your daily willpower and the more likely you are to overeat. Put an end to the on-the-spot picks and plan your meals a day (even a week!) in advance. And always shop with a grocery list; this simple strategy will help limit the number of times you need to tap into your willpower.

Lack of sleep whether it's due to interrupted sleep, a sleep disorder, or just being a night owl is a willpower wrecker. Studies consistently show that slumber-deprived subjects, which generally means less than seven to eight hours a night for most adults, consume more calories, have increased cravings for junk food (like sweet, salty, or high-fat treats), and are more likely to be overweight or obese. When you disrupt your sleep, you disrupt your strength. Follow these tips for a better night's sleep.
