Are you an Over weighted person? No, breath easy.  If yes then this is the information you very much like to know.

Women be aware, a study has revealed that weight formation that is to say  Obesity will lead you to forget your memory.

The test were conducted by US Scientist on 8,745 women who were aged between 65-79 year old, and based on their mark the conclusion has been derived.

Test scores dropped by a point for every one-point increase in body mass index (BMI), a standard measurement based on weight and height, Daily Mail reported citing a report published in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society.

Being overweight was generally associated with reduced memory and brain function.  The experts suspect this is because of the type of fat deposited around the hips.

‘Obesity is bad, but its effects are worse depending on where the fat is located,’ said study leader Diana Kerwin, from Northwestern University in Chicago.

Fat cells release immune system signalling molecules called cytokines that may affect the brain, the researchers said.

Different kinds of fat are known to release different cytokines that have various effects on blood fats, blood pressure and the way the body responds to insulin.

‘We need to find out if one kind of fat is more detrimental than the other, and how it affects brain function,’ said Kerwin.

‘The fat may contribute to the formation of plaques (brain deposits) associated with Alzheimer’s disease or a restricted blood flow to the brain.’

She added: ‘This study tells us if we have a woman in our office, and we know from her waist-to-hip ratio that she’s carrying excess fat on her hips, we might be more aggressive with weight loss. We can’t change where your fat is located, but having less of it is better.’

Personal Note on this subject:

I think the test should have been conducted on women on the age group between 30- 50 years.  Common research dude, the  people whom you have tested are aged group  65 to 79 years. During this age,  memory loss are bound to happen.  This is nature man.

The next time try to test some younger man or woman and then we will definitely agree you on this subject!!

Got an ipod ? Now having trouble transferring your music playlists in Windows Media Player to your ipod ? I got a solution for you.
First of all you need to get iTunes to manage you music files in your ipod. iTunes automatically detects your iPod and lists the music files that are available in your ipod. You can easily transfer your music files using iTunes.

Click Here to Download from an alternative server.

The installation is a very simple process and you can just slide through it.

I know the above section is quite useless cause everyone who owns a ipod will automatically have an iTunes installed in their computer. Anyway I just wanted to give some headstart in case you are really lost.

Now, the real pain is when you want to transfer your Playlists in Windows Media Player to your iPod. There is no direct way to do that as Windows Media Player and iTunes uses different kinds of playlist format. The good news is there is a way to transfer them without having to go through the painful process of adding all your favorite songs one by one again in iTunes to update in your iPod.
