Obesity has become an enormous problem in the US. Health Corner visits Duke University's Diet and Fitness Center, a residential back-to-basics program, that's achieving excellent results. Plus, Health Corner host Dr. Lisa Thornton talks one-on-one with Dr. Martin Binks, head of the behavior program at the center. Also, medical studies have linked many pets to better overall health in people of all ages. A therapeutic program at Washington State University helps build self-confidence with horses. Walgreens pharmacist Jennifer Villeneuve sheds some light on generic versus name brand medications. Home life expert Jill Repp weighs in on kids' backpacks, and style consultant Florida Perry Smith on choosing eye makeup that looks great, and avoids irritations. Alex Boylan visits the Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne, FL, where chef Jeff Vigilla prepares a delicious steamed grouper with citrus ginger soy sauce, shiitake mushrooms, bok choy and tofu. All that, and so much more!
