Nudging the Calorie Counters from Freakonomics Blog

October 17, 2009 by angishields

Great post on Freakonomics blog in New York Times about how little nudges like calorie count labels on restaurant menus, signs telling you how many calories you’ll burn walking from the last parking spot in a mall shopping center even stairs that play musical notes as you walk up and down them encourage healthy living.

Here’s the post – check out the photo’s by clicking on the link…

We blogged about musical stairs in Stockholm that try to encourage stair-climbing rather than escalator-riding. One of the issues with this “nudge,” as Dubner wrote, is that it’s probably more fun for people to descend them than to ascend.

These stairs in Lisbon, however, address that problem by appealing to the calorie conscious.

Mammogram 101

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain the importance of getting an annual mammogram. If you have a family history of breast cancer please get a mammogram every year. About 75% of breast cancer deaths are from women who didn’t get an annual exam. Mammograms typically catch breast cancer in its most curable stage. We know a lot of women don’t get these done because they are afraid of what they might find or false positives or because they don’t have health insurance. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
