> HI Guys,
>
> I have enjoyed the health articles from Reuters that have filtered to me someone in newpapers and one some webpages. Yesterday I found out that Vitamin C (high dosage), reduces cortisol in stressful situations, from a reuters like report.... Now of course I'm gonna be taking more vit C in my daily life.....kinda a bitch cos I used to and just stopped cos I felt like it a few years ago ( I shoulda stuck to it). :)

> Anyway, I believe those reauters people who pick up on interesting info from journal articles especially in the realm of mood and brain, are a good resource.

> What I am wondering is that:
>
> Are there any repositories for nutrition/health/mood/brain related reuters health stories that have been published in recent years. Im thinking like a website that just filters the nutrition/health/mood/brain reuters articles and keeps them on their site. Brain.com, used to do a little but they suck now.
> When I read menshealth magazine, I also find a number of these nutrition/health/mood/brain filterings from journals, which I suspect are from reuters sources too. Unfortunately I havent found a whole repository of these articles on their site.
>
> Secondly, are there any other info sources that do a similar job to reuters in identifying quality nutrition/health/mood/brain news.

> Here is an example I found 2 mins ago. Very interesting.

> See a shrink to lose weight

> Your stomach is like a balloon. Fill it to the brim with food (or beer) and it'll stretch; abstain and it will shrink. Now a study has found that you might be able to use the elasticity of the stomach to help keep weight off. Researchers from St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in the US found that obese subjects who traded their Henry VIII helpings for a semi-liquid diet for four weeks needed much less volume to feel full, as measured by an inserted, then inflated, latex balloon. Also, stomach capacity decreased by 36 per cent. Now, you may not need to go on a liquid diet to see these benefits. Simply breaking down your three square meals into six smaller munchings may do the job. After a few weeks, you'll feel well-stuffed throughout the day and, without night-time bingeing, you'll start lose those pesky kilos.

> Now I dont know if that is a reuters article, but its the kinda stuff I am looking for.
>
>
> Now I have more reason to eat smaller, more regular meals.... I might just do that now. :)
>
> Oh one thing that was maybe missed out in that article, that I just thought of, is that the use of more liquid in your meals. When you drink more with your meals this may have also lead to feeling fuller faster.

> Cheers for the help guys!!!
