EL PASO, Texas - Police officers arrested a man for the burglary of a vehicle outside the Planet Fitness Gym at 3000 Joe Battle.

17-year-old Brandon Snell was charged with "Burglary of Vehicle" and "Credit Card Abuse."

The alleged burglary happened April 3, 2017.

Police said the victim reported his vehicle had been burglarized while he was inside the gym.

Officers said Snell gained entry into the vehicle through an unlocked door and a wallet containing credit and debit cards was stolen.

Snell was booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility on a $10,000 bond.

Police said this case is not related to the burglary of nine vehicles outside a Gold's Gym in East El Paso.

El Paso Police say this is a rising crime trend throughout the city. Police say gym parking lots are lucrative targets because victims often leave valuables like electronics, wallets, purses and cell phones in their vehicles while they work out inside the gym.

Participants working desk jobs were found to have larger waists and a dramatically increased risk of developing heart disease.

A recent study conducted by Dr. William Tigbe from the Warwick Medical School and the University of Warwick found further scientific evidence that office or sedentary jobs are detrimental to cardiovascular health.

It is commonly known that exercise is important for reducing the risk of heart disease. Studies show that spending 7 hours a day on your feet or walking 7 miles a day is ideal for safeguarding against cardiovascular issues and maintaining a healthy weight.

Yet, how bad is it if you have an office job and don't walk 7 miles or exercise every day?

That is what Dr. Tigbe's study sought to explore and answer. The new research showed that waist circumference increased by 2 centimeters, with the risk of heart diseases increasing by 0.2% for each additional hour spent a day sitting after 5 hours.

One of the other researchers who assisted with the study stated, "Our new research supports that idea. The 'bottom' line is that if you want to be sure of having no risks of heart disease, you must keep off your bottom!"

Science is clear. Everybody needs to be active. Especially, people working office jobs. Most people want to get in shape and be more active. But, it's hard. A lot of people don't have the time to go to a gym every night after work or the money to hire a personal trainer.

The important thing is to focus on the tangible actions you can do to combat this risk NOT the doom and anxiety that comes from reading your sedentary career choice increases your risk of heart disease.

Don't have the time or the money for a gym membership or a personal trainer? Try an at-home exercise program. Tried P90X and it wasn't for you and too mainstream? Try a different exercise program. There is no one size fits all approach to being active. Look into a more diverse exercise program like Fitness Results, which takes an omni-channel approach to fitness solutions. They have an online training system, a book "30 Minute Body" based on their innovative streamlined home workout and a popular gym in Upland, CA.

These types of multi-level fitness systems help give busy Americans more options and make sticking with a fitness regimen that much more likely. Perfect pictures of chiseled in shape models do not serve to motivate everyone. So, find the program that offers great solutions for the obstacles that are keeping you back from being proactive about your health.

In the example, Fitness Results offers programs that debunk common fitness myths such as being too old to start working out or that cardio alone is the best way to burn fat. Their 30 minute Body Challenge was developed by world champion bench press lifter, and certified personal trainer, Lance McCullough.

McCullough has led over 100,000 personal training sessions. He developed a program that works for both seniors and millennials, working parents, and busy, fast-paced, executives. Not everyone is going to be a world champion bench press lifter. But, everyone can follow a simple, safe, effective and affordable fitness program for improving your health and quality and length of life.

Look at the solutions. It does little good to bring up a news headline about the correlation between sedentary jobs and cardiovascular disease, just to share new information. It's only of value in the big picture when viewed alongside options, and the people actively working every day to contribute to the solution.

We invest hundreds of hours each month in our career goals. Investing 30 minutes a day in our health is a no-brainer and modern fitness systems make it easier than ever to start and succeed.

About 5 percent of the UK population is lactose intolerant. Just 1% has celiac disease, meaning they cannot eat gluten, which is found in wheat.

Despite these relatively small numbers, gluten and dairy have been labeled as "bad" or "dirty" by diet trends such as "clean eating."

In general, a "clean" diet means cutting back or eliminating gluten, dairy, processed foods, and refined sugars.

These fad diets are particularly popular with young people, especially women. This year, the Food Standard's Agency's Food and You survey found that almost half (46%) of people aged 16 to 24 said they had a bad reaction to milk, which could be part of the reason for trying out the "clean" way of life.

However, what many people think is a healthy choice could be doing more harm than good.

The National Osteoporosis Society (NOS) has said cutting milk out of diets could be leaving thousands of young adults with weakened bones because they're not getting enough calcium. The charity warned it is a "ticking time-bomb" for developing permanent bone problems like osteoporosis, because bones generally stop developing once you hit 30 years old.

Osteoporosis currently affects about three million people in the UK, and it is usually a normal part of getting older, but if this trend continues a larger proportion of young people now could end up with it.

Food bloggers and Instagram chefs promote "clean eating" diets as healthy. They can be, if you ensure to get all the necessary nutrients elsewhere, like calcium from leafy greens and nuts. However, it often doesn't work out in reality.

Young people who don't have the budget to afford nutritionists and expensive health foods look to social media stars for advice on what they should cut out, not add in. Instead of making them healthier, these diets can just end up being restrictive.

Clean eating has faced a backlash in the past couple of years for promoting an unhealthy body image and making people, particularly young people, feel bad about enjoying all types of food. Nigella Lawson, for example, has spoken out against the fad in the past, saying people use it as a way to hide eating disorders.

Ella Mills, the star behind the Deliciously Ella blog, used to be part of the clean eating trend, but has since removed the phrase from her website. However, she claims milk can cause calcium loss in bones, a myth that crops up on food blogs and healthy eating websites over and over again.

This also isn't the first time clean eating diets have been described as potentially dangerous. In 2016, experts said restrictive diets were a noticeable route into eating disorders for vulnerable people.

However, the damage has been done. The NOS survey found that four in ten young people (18 to 24) have tried a clean eating diet, and one in five have reduced how much milk and cheese they consume. The issue isn't necessarily choosing to be healthier, it's following the advice of people who have no real authority to talk about nutrition.

Professor Susan Lanham-New, an adviser to the NOS and head of nutritional sciences at the University of Surrey, told Today on BBC Radio 4: "There's nothing wrong with the concept [of clean eating] but I think there is very much a focus for young people to cut out dairy. Social media is rife with people who are talking, quite frankly, about subjects where they don't know what they're talking about."

"The foundations for good bone health are very much laid down in the early years, up to the late twenties," she added. "If you have a prolonged time of low calcium intake, that will put you at risk of osteoporotic fractures in later life and at greater risk of stress fractures in earlier life."

Professor Susan Lanham-New, Clinical Advisor to the National Osteoporosis Society and Professor of Nutrition at the University of Surrey, says: Diet in early adulthood is so important because by the time we get into our late twenties it is too late to reverse the damage caused by poor diet and nutrient deficiencies and the opportunity to build strong bones has passed.

Half of all women and one in five men develop osteoporosis after the age of 50. Broken bones, also known as fractures, caused by osteoporosis can be very painful and slow to recover from.

A poor diet for those in their teens and early twenties now could see a significant rise in the numbers of people suffering fractures and the complications associated with them in the future.

Professor Lanham-New said: Without urgent action being taken to encourage young adults to incorporate all food groups into their diets and avoid particular clean eating regimes, we are facing a future where broken bones will become just the norm.

We know that osteoporosis is a painful and debilitating condition and young adults have just one chance to build strong bones and reduce their risk of developing severe problems in later life.

EVANSTON As glimpses of summer can be seen between unpredictable snowfall, people are searching for ways to lose weight, follow a better diet, obey their restrictions or simply just eat better. According to registered dietician Suzanne Leland-Lym, whatever the reason, a healthy diet is all about portion control.

Leland-Lym said portion control is the best diet a person can have it just takes patience.

Portion control means, when you are going out, not to super-size, she said. If someone is trying to lose weight, sometimes all it takes is them getting a smaller plate, and putting food on the plate that looks the same, but is less, Leland said.

According to Leland-Lym, weight loss, weight gain, diabetes, cancer and more are reasons to see a dietician. Even diabetics, she said, can eat anything they want to, they just have to test their blood-sugar levels often and research carbohydrate values until they get used to it.

Instead of completely changing a persons diet when they get sick, which only works for up to three months, Leland-Lym suggests something more long-term.

If we can get people to give six weeks of change, then they know where their carbohydrates are, she said. I am very moderate. I really believe in working with how the person is eating now and try not to get them to change too much.

Leland-Lym said she also stresses signs of falling off the wagon. She said its a reality for people to go into a care-free attitude after three months, so they have to figure out ways to stay on a steady eating path.

Many people have been told to eat fruits and vegetables since our parents played the train and tunnel game as they fed them to us from tiny glass jars. According to the United States Department of Agricultures My Plate, fruits and vegetables should cover half of our plate.

However, Leland said if you dont already consistently eat fruits and vegetables, she wouldnt suggest that you start eating too many right away, and to start out with only a few changes at a time.

If you dont eat fruits and vegetables, Im not going to make you eat fruits and vegetables just like someone is not going to make me eat liver, she said. Its really about portion control.

When you go out, order whatever you want, eat half and take home the other half so that you arent feeling so controlled. You want to control the disease, not let the disease control you, she continued.

Be aware of portion control and exercise, which is obviously something you have to talk to your doctor about, but exercising with the doctors advice goes hand-in-hand, Leland-Lym said.

Counting calories and fad diets are something to earmark, as she said.

If a diet illuminates any one food group, thats a diet to stay away from. Good healthy eating involves all food groups, Leland-Lym said. It might get some weight loss, but unfortunately long-term weight loss has never been established through illuminating a food group; what goes in, goes out.

She said there is a really good reason that humans have been on the earth so long, and that reason is adaptation.

In caveman times, you ate when it was plentiful [but also] there were times of famine. That is why we store food, because our ancestors had times where they didnt eat, she said.

According to Leland-Lym, one problem nowadays is that even though the adaptations that have worked well as a species to continue, it doesnt work so well with modern society.

She said she believes that clean eating is very important. Clean eating is making food from scratch, rather than using the conveniently packaged food. Its important to know what the ingredients are, she said.

If you are going to make a stew, you are going to use the raw carrots and use everything that we call clean, she said.

Clean eating is useful for people who have celiac disease and have to maintain a gluten-free diet.

Leland-Lym said eating healthy is all about balance. Calories in are calories that need to be used.

Were all busy. Cooking is the last thing a lot of people want to take time on, so learning to cook ahead of time, like using a Crock-Pot is a good idea, she said.

Her last tips for a healthy diet are to eat the vegetables that you love, and dont be afraid to try new ones, and to change it around and dont eat the same things every day.

Leland-Lym is available one day a week for appointments at Evanston Regional Hospital, and referrals from a physician are required.

Weight loss is a hot topic that everyone seems to have an opinion on. Most people, at some point in their life, look for ways to lose, gain, or control their weight. And there are thousands of websites that offer the secret to long term and sustained weight loss. As a wellness consultant, I read many of these websites claims and strategies. Many of them offer up the same, or similar advice Stop Eating Junk Food, Exercise Daily, Drink More Water, etc. All of these recommendations are excellent, however, for some, can be difficult to implement. Not because it is hard to eat an apple instead of an apple pie, or drink water instead of soda, but because people make excuses why they are not willing or unable to make these changes. IE I hate water, I dont like to cook, I dont have time to exercise, My kids and spouse will not eat fruits and vegetables, etc.

My biggest pet peeve however, is when experts in the field of weight loss promote pills to lose weight Weight Loss In A Bottle. Recently, JJ Virgin, a fellow board certified Holistic Nutrition consultant, sent out a mass email promoting her new weight loss supplement. She guarantees that it is safe, affordable, and that it works. My pet peeve about these supplements is that it gives false hope to people. In all my years testing out supplements, I have never come across a supplement that helped me to lose weight and keep it off without changing my diet and exercise regimen.

Back in 2014, Dr. Oz sat before a Senate subcommittee hearing in which he admitted that the claims surrounding the weight loss supplements that he promotes on his show are not based on fact. However, according to Dr. Oz, he believes in the supplements that he promotes, stating that:

If the only message I gave was to eat less and move more, which is the most important thing people need to do, we wouldnt very effectively be tackling this challenge (obesity), because viewers know these steps and they still struggle, he said. So we search for tools and crutches for short-term support so people can jump-start their programs.

It was not until recently that I decided to test out another weight loss supplement. Why you may ask would I do this. Because this supplement comes from a company that I know, I trust, and whose products have done exactly as they claim. So when I saw that they had a Fat Burning supplement, I decided to put it to the test.

I have been using the supplement as prescribed for the past 2 weeks. I use a body composition scale in my office to measure muscle mass, water mass, as well as fat mass. My results to date are only about 2 pounds of weight loss which is not impressive. However, I have lost 5% body fat, I have gained 2% water mass and maintained my muscle mass which is impressive. The supplements also seem to give me more energy and curb my appetite, meaning that when it comes to lunch and dinner time, I do not feel hungry. Despite this, I still continued to eat my typical diet so as not to skew results.

Based upon these short term results, I have decided to offer a testing trial to the public. I am looking for 10 volunteers willing to test the supplement and monitor their results. If you are interested in participating in this study, all you need to do is contact Stanly Wellness Center at 980-355-7600 and let us know that you would like to volunteer for our weight loss supplement. Your only expense would be $40. This will cover the 1 month supply of the supplement as well as weekly weigh-ins.

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - April 14, 2017) - Within recent years, apple cider vinegar has gained notoriety for its wide-range of health and purported weight loss benefits. Such claims have traditionally originated from those within the natural-health industry, as well as individual consumers. Most natural or alternative foods or products lack scientific or research-based evidence for such claims, since the FDA does not regulate them. However, given the heightened attention that apple cider vinegar has been receiving, studies to prove or disprove its efficacy have increased.

So, does apple cider vinegar really stimulate weight loss as many users have claimed? Studies are now showing that this may indeed be true. A study conducted by the Journal of Functional Foods found that people who regularly drink apple cider vinegar have lower blood glucose levels on average. Controlled blood sugar levels have positive effects on weight loss and weight maintenance. Also, it has been reported that the acetic acid found in apple cider vinegar may interfere with the digestion of starches, resulting in them not being broken down in the same way. This interference may have an impact on weight loss. Regular vinegar consumption has also been linked to lower BMI's, reduced weight circumferences and lower body weight in general.

Diet Doc recommends that if you're using apple cider vinegar to lose weight, that you do so wisely. Highly-acidic diets can result in tooth decay, calcium depletion and can aggravate conditions such as GERD and acid reflux. The best way to lose weight, while minimizing health risks is to seek professional dietary guidance who can determine the best course of action for your unique needs.

Losing weight can be challenging, especially if you don't have the right mind set to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Thankfully, a recent Quora thread lists helpful advice for people who want to train their minds to help them lose weight in the long-term, rather than wasting energy on quick, short-term fixes.

Here are nine ways to change your outlook that can help you lose weight healthily.

Quora user Wilfredo Thomas argues that understanding weight loss in the form of energy balance is the first key to achieving one's ideal body.

"Energy balance is the science way of saying calories in versus calories out," he writes. "Your body needs a certain amount of calories to maintain its current body weight."

Once you understand energy balance, you might feel less tempted to eat more than you really need.

Neil O'Nova, author of the book, "7-Minute Skinny Jeans," advises against eating out of food containers, boxes, and bags that aren't clear.

"Our brains are highly visual. We take visual cues as to how much food weve eaten to help us know when we should stop," O'Nova writes. "But when you can't see how much food youve had, you never get that visual feedback and you end up eating way too much."

Measuring servings and pouring them into a small bowl or onto a napkin will stop you from eating more than you planned.

O'Nova also isn't a fan of traditional dieting because he argues that it limits one's mind-set.

Once you're off your diet and have lost weight, you might revert back to eating poorly, not exercising and ultimately regain pounds.

"Instead, focus on your long-term eating habits," he writes. "This is the best way to lose weight and keep it off, the healthy way."

O'Nova advises choosing vegetables such as carrots and celery over sugary treats when you're having a snack craving.

Not only do they have fewer calories; they are also fibrous and can make you feel full faster.

Jared Haas, a geographic information systems coordinator, believes finding an exercise that's fun matters most, because you'll be more likely to incorporate it into your weekly routine.

"If you hate running, dont run. It doesnt matter that running has been proven to aid in weight loss," Haas writes. "If you hate it that much, youre not going to stick with it. If youre not going to stick with it, its not going to yield permanent results."

Moreover, working out with friends or in a group can be motivational, making exercise less of a chore and more of an enjoyable pastime after work or between errands.

More cases of obesity are reportedly caused by lifestyle decisions rather than genetic factors.

In his Quora post, Thomas points to a scientific study published online by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, which found that "promoting the notion of genes as a cause for obesity may increase genetically deterministic beliefs and decrease motivation to engage in healthy lifestyle behaviours."

Thomas concludes that people who believe that obesity is caused by unhealthy habits are likely to become proactive and re-think their actions.

While self-affirmations can be helpful, consider tapping into your competitive side by turning weight loss into a challenge.

"Personally, I find it much more motivating to challenge myself with self-talk like this: 'Can you lose this weight? Are you up to the challenge?'" O'Nova writes.

Pharmacist and health enthusiast Noor Ullah Jan said, "To get out from under old propensities, you have to see yourself in a positive light."

"Envision your future self, six months to a year not far off, and consider how great you'll look and feel," he writes.

"When we are sleep-deprived, high-fat and sugary foods seem much more attractive, probably because they give us a quick burst of energy," scholar Md Yousuf writes.

To avoidtemptation, adults should strive for at least seven hours of sleep every night
