How Do You Find Balance In Your Life?

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) --  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has singled out the greater Salt Lake region as having the nation's worst air for much of January, when an icy fog smothers mountain valleys for days or weeks at a time and traps lung-busting soot.

Thanks to the AP for that story, but can you imagine that?  I though freezing nostrils were the worst thing that could happen to you in the winter air!
 

Nothing like a good mind teaser first thing on a Monday.

(TIME.com) -- The longest lived among us aren't necessarily those who are of normal weight, says a new study.

According to new research this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), researchers say that being overweight may lead to a longer life.

The somewhat surprising conclusion comes from an enormous, detailed review of over 100 previously published research papers connecting body weight and mortality risk among 2.88 million study participants living around the world.

The new research confirms that obese people, and particularly those who are extremely obese, tend to die earlier than those of normal weight. But the findings also suggest that people who are overweight (but not obese) may live longer than people with clinically normal body weight.
