You’d like to do something— anything —to speed up your metabolism, but it’s out of your control. Right? Not quite. Although genetics and your age both play a role, recent studies suggest you have plenty of say over how well your metabolism—which involves your body’s ability to break down food into usable energy—functions. In fact, you can all but negate the metabolic slowdown that happens after 40 by tweaking your diet, exercise, and sleep habits. “Think of your body as an engine—your metabolism is the rate at which your engine runs,” explains Scott Isaacs, MD, an endocrinologist in Atlanta and author of Hormonal Balance: How to Lose Weight By Understanding Your Hormones and Metabolism . “By making adjustments to these three elements, you can actually make your engine rev higher.” The eating and exercise plans on these pages were designed to keep your metabolism humming to the tune of up to 10 pounds off in 21 days. Read on for the keys to not only losing, but losing for good. Key 1: Eat early Your basal metabolic rate—the number of calories your body burns at rest—is based on things like age, height, and body type, so there isn’t much you can do to alter it. But there is a lot you can do to change the number of calories you burn above that, beginning with your diet. Specifically: Eat breakfast. We already know the reasons you may not want to (you don’t have the time/energy/stomach for it), but leaving for work on an empty stomach is like hitting the pause button on your metabolism. Here’s why: When your brain senses your stomach is empty, it sends a message to your cells to conserve energy in case another meal doesn’t arrive. In other words, your body holds onto the fat stored in your cells instead of helping you burn it off. “Breakfast triggers a process called thermogenesis, where the body signals the brain to activate the metabolic process of turning food into energy,” says Mark Hyman, MD, author of The Blood Sugar Solution . Key 2: Eat often To keep your metabolism humming, Dr. Hyman suggests eating small meals every three or four hours. Aim to make each of those meals at least one-quarter protein—whether it’s animal protein, beans, or dairy, says Marissa Lippert, RD, who designed the eating plan on page 39. A recent study in the journal Neuron suggests that consuming protein stimulates the cells responsible for switching on the body’s calorie-burning mechanism. Foods high in sugar and processed carbs, on the other hand, can lead to another problem: insulin resistance. “As we get older, it’s crucial to pay attention to how much sugar we’re consuming,” says Diane Kress, RD, author of The Metabolism Miracle . “Too much messes with your metabolism by causing your body to store extra calories as fat.” Next Page:  Key 3: Sweat off the weight Key 3: Sweat off the weight Even more important? Exercise. “Not only does it affect your metabolism while you’re doing it, but research shows you can keep burning calories up to 24 hours after you finish because your metabolism stays elevated,” Dr. Isaacs says. That’s especially true if you challenge yourself: A new study in the journal Cell Metabolism suggests that intense bouts of exercise can “turn on” genes responsible for energy metabolism. Researchers found that the activation of these fat- burning genes was higher in cyclists who pedaled at 80 percent of their aerobic capacity versus those who did a more moderate cycling session at 40 percent. So although you can’t permanently change your DNA (if only!), experts say exercise can fire up certain genes that initiate the fat-burning process. Exercise is particularly helpful once you pass the age of 40, when your metabolism naturally begins to slow down. Experts used to believe it slowed due to an inevitable loss of muscle mass. However, a study in the journal The Physician and Sports Medicine found that fit women ages 41 to 81 who continued to exercise four to five times a week as they got older had little change in body composition. The real reason you lose muscle with age? You stop using it. “We now know that women who keep up a regular vigorous fitness routine don’t experience the metabolic decrease,” Dr. Isaacs says. Key 4: Sleep away the pounds No, it’s not your imagination. Too little sleep can cause you to gain—and not just because you’re spending those extra waking hours in front of the TV nursing a bag of chips. Research suggests that people who sleep two-thirds of their usual amount (five hours instead of eight, say) eat an average of 549 extra calories the following day without realizing it. Experts believe this is because too few zzz’s upset the balance of important appetite-regulating hormones. But that’s not all: A Swedish study found that even one night of disrupted sleep can cause the body to burn up to 20 percent fewer calories the following day. “Sleep deprivation impacts multiple hormones related to metabolism,” Dr. Isaacs says. “Resistance to leptin—a hormone that regulates body weight—increases, while levels of ghrelin, a hormone that signals to your brain that you’re hungry, also increase.” Aim for seven to eight hours of pillow time a night, advises Dr. Hyman. “Just a small change in your sleep schedule can make a big difference in your health.” Not to mention your ability to burn calories.

Sleepwalking affects 3.6 per cent of adults in the U.S., more than previously thought, according to a new study that estimates the lifetime prevalence is nearly 30 per cent.

Sleepwalking isn't just a quirk of Homer Simpson and other cartoon characters who go on unconscious adventures. New research suggests it's even more common than you may think. Researchers published a study in the journal Neurology involving more than 19,000 American adults, and found that nearly 30% had sleepwalked at some point in their lives. Far fewer said they experienced sleepwalking within the last year – only about 4% did. One percent had two or more episodes per month. Dr. Maurice Ohayon of Stanford University and lead author of the study says sleepwalking can be risky business; some people can harm themselves or others while wandering about. Sleepwalking is far more likely to occur in childhood than adulthood; previous research suggests that as many as 30% of children have been affected. Prior to this study, there was no good estimate of how many Americans sleepwalk generally, the researchers wrote. A study 10 years ago in Europe found a prevalence of 2%. And 30 years ago, a study in Los Angeles found about 2.5% of about 1,000 people experienced sleepwalking. There wasn't a significant difference in sleepwalking in men vs. women, but the behavior did decrease with age, with the exception of those who reported it more than once per week. Family history and genetics may play a role: 11.4% of people who reported sleepwalking said at least one sibling had episodes, compared to 7.8% of the rest of the participants. Individuals who said they sleepwalked in the previous year were more likely than others to have had a family history of sleepwalking. The study authors also took into account participants' usage of medications for sleep, anxiety, depression and other purposes. They found that people who take a kind of antidepressant for anxiety called SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) had a higher likelihood of sleepwalking at least once per year. Those who took over-the-counter sleeping pills and tricyclic antidepressants were more likely to experience sleepwalking at least twice per month. Although previous studies have suggested that psychotropic medications are associated with sleepwalking, this one suggests that pills don't cause nighttime wandering per se; however, they may trigger these behaviors in people already predisposed, study authors wrote. But keep in mind that the results are based on people's own recollections and knowledge of their sleepwalking behaviors; the researchers did not independently confirm the participants' sleepwalking accounts. Furthermore, some people, particularly those who live alone, may engage in sleepwalking without being aware of it. So the researchers may have underestimated sleepwalking behaviors. Dr. Lisa Shives, founder of Northshore Sleep Medicine in Evanston, Illinois, said the study's estimate of 30% of people with at least one sleepwalking episode in their lives sounds about right. People do tend to outgrow sleepwalking after their teenage years, but there remains a minority who continue to have recurrent episodes. There have been some bizarre incidents recorded of people's behavior while sleeping. One woman was reported to have sex with strangers during sleepwalking episodes . Sleepwalking has also been used as a legal defense, sometimes successfully , for people who have allegedly committed crimes while sleeping. "You really need a strong documented history that somebody has been doing this for a while" for sleepwalking to be a believable defense in court, Shives said. The precise causes are still mysterious, partly because sleepwalking is so hard to study. Shives has had patients who are chronic sleepwalkers normally, but don't exhibit the behavior in the laboratory. It's important to focus on safety measures for people prone to sleepwalking, Shives said. Lock doors and windows at night. Kitchen knives and other sharp objects may even need to be put away at night. You may need an alarm system for exits. Some lifestyle modifications may help, such as having a regular sleep schedule, reducing noise or light in the place where you sleep, and avoiding stress and fever. Hypnosis may help get rid of their sleepwalking behaviors. Another treatment that may help is called "anticipatory awakenings," where the person is awakened about 15 minutes before they would normally sleepwalk and stay awake during that period. Benzodiazepine medications have also been prescribed. How can I stop my son's sleepwalking? And take note: It's a myth that waking a sleepwalker would result in brain shock or death; the person may be startled or disoriented, but waking him or her up could save the person from doing serious harm. Still, some experts recommend gently guiding the sleepwalker back to bed if possible. Filed under: Living Well , Sleep Tagged: Elizabeth Landau – CNN.com Health Writer/Producer

You can count me as one of the 30 percent of people who don’t get enough sleep every night, so when Lark sent me their silent alarm clock ($100) to test a couple months ago, I was all about it. Since then, I’ve been using it pretty regularly, here’s what I think of the alarm clock. First, here’s what it is: The Lark is part app (compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad only at the moment, but an Android version seems imminent ), part motion-sensing wristband that vibrates to wake you up and tracks your sleep quality throughout the night. It promises to both help you wake up more naturally and without disturbing your bedmate and change your personality from sleep-deprived night owl to well-rested morning lark. Included in the package is the Lark sensor, wristband, and charging dock where you plug your wristband into when you wake up – both to shut off the vibrating alarm and ensure that your wristband has enough juice to monitor your sleeping stats for the next night. The charging dock includes a USB port to connect your iPhone charger to it, so you don’t have to use two sockets for each. Who it’s for: The Lark is useful if you have a partner and you both wake up at different times. Since it’s a silent alarm clock, it rouses you with a series of vibrations through your wristband, so if your normal wake-up call is earlier than your bedmate’s, your partner can snooze away without being disturbed. That may or may not be valuable enough for you to justify the $100 price tag, but it is an effective solution. Besides the alarm clock portion, the Lark app tracks several sleeping stats: how many hours you slept as well as how many times you woke up during the night and how long it took you to fall asleep (both based on your movements). Keep reading for my thoughts on the Lark alarm clock.

Editor's note: CNN contributor Amanda Enayati ponders the theme of seeking serenity: the quest for well-being and life balance in stressful times. Last week we responded to your questions about some of life’s most stressful circumstances. Is it any surprise that the themes running through our experts’ advice read like a laundry list of wisdom from the elders? If you do not care for yourself, you will not be able to care for others. Figure out what’s truly important and do not look for perfection. Do your best to remain in the present moment, free of the shackles of the past and fear for what the future holds. All of these are far easier said (and written), of course. It is the execution that's most difficult. The first step is awareness. With that in mind – here are some more of your stress questions answered: Once again, our panel of experts included UC Davis professor Jay Belsky, a developmental psychologist and an internationally recognized expert on the role of nature and nurture in shaping children and families; Dr. Judith Orloff, professor of psychiatry at UCLA and bestselling author of “Emotional Freedom”; and Dr. Rajita Sinha, professor of psychiatry, neurobiology and child study at Yale University and director of the Yale Stress Center. Done in by single parenting My husband’s always traveling so I’m effectively a single parent. I’m overwhelmed with too much to do and not enough time. Balancing is an art form, observes Orloff. It’s important to be able to take time out to center and replenish yourself. Build energy through meditating, laughing or engaging in something other than your tasks. Get beyond the to-do list and make time for yourself. “Go hide in the bathroom, if you must!” According to Belsky, it is critical to prioritize what is more and less important. If the house is messy, that’s not the end of the world. “Sometimes people have to lower their standards and expectations,” he says. “You are better off being sane mom than super mom.” Sinha suggests that single parents strategize about organization and time management. Rethink and moderate children’s often-hectic schedules. She also stresses the importance of keeping oneself regulated: “Eat enough, and get enough sleep and exercise.” When money is tight How do I better handle financial stresses that limit how much money I have to spend on all the things we need, like childcare and home maintenance? The key, says Belsky, is to distinguish between wants and needs. We live in a day and age where the media and advertising want you to believe that your wants are your needs. They are not. Less is often more. A good first strategy is to stop looking at advertisements. Turn the sound down; skip over them in newspapers and magazines. When it comes to services, is it possible to do non-monetary exchanges with friends and family for things like childcare and home maintenance? Belsky points out that using your money thoughtfully and frugally is one of the best lessons you can teach children. Just because everyone has something doesn’t mean everyone needs it. This can serve as an opportunity to figure out what has value and what does not. Internalizing stress I’m stressed daily and I internalize it. It manifests in skin issues (I have psoriasis). I can’t meditate very well and I don’t feel like I have the time or patience to learn. What else can I do? Learn to focus on positive things in your life, says Belsky. This takes discipline and practice, because it’s often easier to focus on the stressful. You have to build up the psychological muscle to focus on the good. “Have a place you can go to in your mind: the beach, your child’s first steps. Close your eyes and go there during stressful moments. Use it as a place to move away from the wallowing and dwelling.” Orloff also recommends writing in a journal to “get out all the raw feelings, your anger and frustration, so you don’t hold them in.” If you don’t feel like writing, confiding in a trusted friend can work equally well. Evolution of stress Why is the fight or flight instinct still so strong? It’s not like we’re running into tigers in the jungle anymore; we’re sitting in traffic jams! Why can’t our bodies adapt and stop wreaking havoc when we get stressed? Evolution, says Belsky, isn’t forward-looking. It’s backward-looking. It prepares us for the things we have encountered in the past, not necessarily for what we will encounter in the future. That is, you may be dealing with modern-day problems, but your instincts are still somewhere back in the jungle. The survival instinct is very basic in all living organisms, says Sinha. And even though we are not facing tigers in the jungle, we still may have crises – natural disasters or violence – for which we need our fight or flight response. Nonetheless, our regulatory system has undergone a great deal of cognitive and emotional adaptation. Our prefrontal cortex has become more complex and sophisticated. But since those regions of the brain are more sensitive to high levels of chronic and repeated stress, it’s vulnerable to not functioning well under certain everyday types of situations, like stressful commutes. Orloff says it’s important to take control and consciously turn off the stress and negative emotions. “Stop and expressly remind yourself that more than likely your life is not in danger, that you are just sitting in traffic.” One simple way to take control? “Listen to mellow music during your commute,” suggests Orloff. Caretaker blues My father is suffering from dementia and I have had to drop my whole life to take care of him. I feel stuck, like there’s no way out, and then I also feel guilty for feeling that way, which makes me more stressed. The first thing you can do, says Belsky, is forgive yourself and accept those feelings of resentment, frustration and anger. “By having unreasonable standards and expectations, you risk draining the tank and beating up on yourself all at the same time.” Orloff believes that though it is a sacred duty to care for our loved ones when they are in need, you also have to take care of yourself. “There’s no reason to feel guilty about the feelings of anger and helplessness. It’s natural. There is never enough time and you can’t do enough work.” Join a support group of others who are coping with the same issue, she recommends. This will allows you to gain perspective and realize you are not alone. And if it’s at all possible, hire an occasional caregiver or helper so that you can take time off for yourself. “If you don’t practice self-care,” observes Orloff, “you will never be able to give quality time to others. You will just be run down and miserable.” According to Sinha, caretaker anxiety is another form of pernicious, uncontrollable stress, similar to financial stress. “The person feels stuck and cannot meet his or her own needs.” Sinha suggests seeking out the help of a mental health professional and agrees that it’s critical for caretakers to take time out for themselves. “Positive activities on an ongoing basis will build optimism and give caretakers strength. This should be part of their routine. Once here and there is not enough.” Information overload The news makes me panic. Even things like Facebook and Twitter and TV that are not meant to be bad make me panic. But it’s not like you can go off the grid and live your life without any technology, so what do I do? Orloff recommends taking periodic technology fasts. “Give yourself a dark period, like 3 to 6 hours where you are not focused on any type of technology.” She also cautions against watching the news before you go to bed because it may disrupt your sleep. “You will risk having insomnia, restlessness and bad dreams.” Build activities that don’t involve technology into your schedule. Take a walk mindfully. Get back to your break. Validate what’s going on inside. “Facebook will always be there,” says Sinha. “But this moment is never going to be there again. It is fleeting.” Follow @amandaenayati on Twitter or on Facebook Filed under: Living Well , Stress Tagged: Amanda Enayati — Special to CNN

Here’s what’s making health news this morning: Are You Mom Enough? (Time): Featuring a provocative cover photo of a mother breast-feeding her three-year-old child, the magazine explores attachment parenting. Its three main tenets are extended breast-feeding, co-sleeping and “baby wearing,” in which infants are physically attached to their parents by slings.

Maria asks… My girlfriend cheated on me, please give me tips on what i should do? I have been dating with my girlfriend for 1 year and 2 months now. I am a jealous person and it really makes me insecure seeing her talking to other guys. She’s a very a quiet person who’s very shy. I am also a very quiet and calm person. I found out 2 days ago that she kissed a guy. Long story short, they were “friends” according to her. I had been warning her to please stop making me more insecure and paranoid by talking to guys because I did not like the feeling of competing for my own girlfriend. I had asked her to come with me to a new campus because I wanted her to close to me, and it was there where she met the new “friend” We spent a semester on that campus and we later moved on to a later campus. She says she wants friends, but girls tend to be very mean and she takes it very personal because girls love to talk trash about other people. Apparently, she dislikes that and therefore does not makes friends with many girls. She has 2 main girlfriends whom she talks to . So, the “friend” was sick and she went to the hospital to see him. He reached for her face and kissed her and she kissed back. As you can imagine I am still highly devastated even after a few days. I had already asked her to please stop talking to him long before this crap happened. As you can imagine, I got highly pissed off and yelled at her for doing what she did for hours. Apparently he had been sending her poems through Facebook asking her to be her lover since the summer after we finished the semester on that campus. She told me that she would respond by saying that she already had a lover. This had been going on practically from around May to October, when I found out. She says she never responded in a romantic way, and he was the one insisting for her to be his lover. I am a Biology major and my courses aren’t exactly easy or stress-free. I am almost always under stress due to all the work from school, not only that, but I make myself read computer programming books since I am fascinated with the world of hacking. I feel very hurt because I thought that she would never do this to me. I haven’t stopped sweating for practically 2 days due to all the shock inside flowing through my body. She’s 19 years old and I am 20 years old. We had even talked about getting married after college. I have a sleeping problem. I go to sleep everyday around 2-4 in the morning and wake up at 7 in the morning. (It’s 3am right now) Due to arguments from my insecurity, I broke up with her one night. She texted the guy saying that she wanted to see him. It hurts me very much writing this story. She drove to the hospital and brought him a book. There she apparently visited coming as a “friend” I exceeded the 5,000 word limit. Please read my whole story here http://pastebin.com/Ue5jLEj4 Since Yahoo wouldn’t let me post the whole story.

Jonjune answers: The things you say sound like possible symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I have this mental illness and a lot of times i’d get thoughts in my head i couldn’t get out. I’d feel the need to “confess” things to people I cared about, that really made no sense to tell anyone about. I felt guilty all the time about things that really weren’t even bad. I was always worried some choice I made would end up hurting someone.I also would do things all the time to try to make myself feel better, like washing my hands repeatedly or rearranging things. It got so out of control I had to go on medication and now I feel much better. I finally have control over my life, not OCD. I am not sure if what you have is OCD or something else. But it does seem like you are suffering. I think you should meet with a therapist and try to work on some of these things. Find one you really like and it should be quite helpful. You dont’ deserve to live this way. You are suffering. Please get help. Good luck. Richard asks… Will irresponsible illiteracy, plagiarism and ethical abuse ever stop?

Actually Cookie Man, do your research and check my profile to the questions I ask. Most of them have nothing to do with Kobe nor Lebron. RESEARCH BEFORE YOU ANSWER Just checked Cookie man’s profile and notice that he nevers answers any question I ask or that we have a common question that we have both answered. So how could he make a blanket comment without any research.

If you've been on Twitter or Facebook today, you may have caught the buzz about Time Magazine's most recent cover.  It shows Jamie Lynne Grumet, a 26-year-old mother from Los Angeles, breastfeeding her son. This isn't your typical mom-and-baby shot: Grumet's son is 3.  The picture promotes an article about the growing popularity of " attachment parenting ", a theory first advocated by Dr. Bill Sears and his wife Martha, in their 1992 bestselling guide The Baby Book. The Sears argue that co-sleeping, 'baby wearing' (where the baby is attached to the parent with a sling) and extended breastfeeding will help parents respond better to the individual needs needs of their babies. Celebrities such as Mayim Bialik of "The Big Bang Theory" are also promoting ideas about attachment parenting. Many moms and dads have strong opinions about these practices, especially the breastfeeding advice.  The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends babies be breast-fed exclusively for the first six months of their lives.  We want to know what you think.  Is it OK to breastfeed well past toddler-hood, or is it too much of a good thing?
