...exercised. But don't discount the impact of slimming down. In another study in J.A.M.A., research from the ongoing Women's Health Study found that overweight and obese women?regardless of how regularly they exercised?were up to nine times as likely to develop diabetes as women of normal weight. Bottom line: there's no easy way around it. Stay trim and active...

DKNY and Amalfi of Italy have crafted dress shoes with new technology like Insolia, a system invented by a podiatrist that shifts weight from the front of the shoe back to the heel, making high heels feel more like flats. At the same time, old standbys in the comfort-shoe industry, such as Birkenstock, Rockport and Ecco of Denmark, have stepped up their styles, boosting heel height or introducing trendy animal prints...
