Can we increase our lifespan merely by exercising? "Absolutely," according to the father of aerobics, Dr. Kenneth Cooper, founder of the world renowned Cooper Institute of Aerobics which pioneered landmark studies on fitness and nutrition. Later, Dr. Lisa sits with Dr. Cooper in sunny Texas and learns about his latest innovative research on vitamins and reducing inflammation. "Vitamin therapy can greatly reduce heart disease by reducing inflammation," says Dr. Cooper. In this Health Corner, we also meet one courageous man who topped 500 pounds, but through perseverance and the help of the Cooper Aerobics Center's diet and exercise program lost weight and rejoined the world. Then, Alex Boylan meets unconventional chef Todd Snyder at Krazy Kat's in Montchanin, Delaware where Todd pairs sea scallops with citrus salad and lavender vinaigrette. Jill Repp recommends watching for the warning signs of a temper tantrum to divert disaster. An ounce of prevention can be a pound of peace. Plus, Florida Perry Smith on a skin diet especially tailored for your skin type.
