One misconception many people have about exercise. Most people think that the more you exercise, the hungrier you will become and the more you will eat. Actually, in some ways, exercise is an appetite supressent. Exercise stimulates production of glucagons, which raises the blood sugar level, which reduces symptoms of hunger. Therefore, exercise is helpful in controlling eating if we exercise before a meal.

We must provide funds for proper nutrition, housing and health care for these individuals to aid and contribute to their well-being. We need to get rid of the false perceptions and judgments. Like Doreen Millman said in Vancouver at the 1996 AIDS Conference in reference to how a 63 year old grandmother got AIDS. She said, “It just doesn’t matter!” Neither does an individual’s race, religion or sexual orientation matter! Don’t look for differences; look at how we can help one another.
