Michels, Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology. Even though they usually survive on stale...
...Malkin Athletic Center (MAC) need no longer worry—losing weight and staying healthy is possible just by doing laundry, bowling, or gardening, according to a new book by a Harvard Medical School researcher. Dr. Harvey B. Simon’s new book “The No Sweat Exercise Plan: Lose Weight, Get Healthy, and Live Longer” says that slight modifications to most people’s daily lives are enough for weight loss, disease prevention, and overall health. “For years, I believed that in order to benefit from exercise...
