Unlike in many other parts of the world, on the Fiji Islands books about how to lose weight have a slim chance of becoming bestsellers. This is because Fijian culture traditionally prizes a full figure, so fear of being overweight is not as strong as it is in other societies. This particular Fijian standard for beauty is due in part to the culture’s emphasis on community. In a nation where affection for friends is often demonstrated through the offering and serving of food, being on a diet is considered to be somewhat socially unacceptable. Consequently, the pressure to be thin, present in many other societies, is largely absent in Fiji.

A more effective solution than recycled paper would be completely treeless paper.

Alternatives to tree-based paper can be difficult to obtain. ① The demand for conventional paper is so high that one out of every three trees cut down today is converted into pulp for use in paper products. ② As environmental awareness grows, paper recycling is becoming more popular, but it’s a reality that even recycled paper depends on trees for its production.

③ If tree-free paper substitutes were made from plants that grow rapidly and well under poor growing conditions, they would be much more environmentally friendly than conventional paper. ④ Fibers from cotton, bark, straw, and coconut husks can all be used to produce treeless paper. ⑤

Hopefully, paper alternatives made from sources like these will become more

A recent study involving 18,531 adults aged 50 and over investigated the participants’

physical abilities and made comparisons between those with chronic pain and those without chronic pain. Of the participants between 50 and 59 years old who did not experience chronic pain, 37 percent could jog a mile, and nearly all could manage to walk several blocks. However, only 9 percent of people with chronic pain in the same age group could jog a mile, and only half could perform the walking task. In fact, the results for people aged 50 to 59 with chronic pain were almost identical to the results for participants aged 80 to 89, since 4 percent of people in this age group could run a mile, and 55 percent could walk several blocks.
