	from Joy Victory Last week, a study about obesity "spreading" among friends made huge headlines. But, after spending two weeks on vacation in Wisconsin, and gaining several pounds (yikes), I'd like to go ahead and blame the State of Wisconsin, too. Yeah, you're probably already thinking the same thing as me: Rather than blaming the Badger State (or my Wisconsin friends), I should probably focus on solutions. But that's not as fun or as easy.

Exercise: The Best Thing Ever?
This article references a study that I like to call an "oldie-but-goody." It shows how important exercise is to maintaining a youthful vigor. If you're like me, this article will immediately make you regret all the time you spend in front of a computer (or eating Wisconsin cheese).
