Human Interest:


Zeke, a golden labrador retriever, saves the life of his owner, Gerald Rittinger, time and time again. Before Zeke was adopted by the now 74 year old, and his wife, Jeanne, Rittinger was basically waiting to die due to his poor health. Zeke learned the behavior of his owner, often times predicting a drop in blood sugar or even onset of a seizure. Over the span of 13 years, Rittinger says Zeke has saved his life as many as 30 times.

Informational:


Obesity is an ongoing epidemic in America, primarily due to one factor: sugar. Food manufacturers make it easy for the average person to consume too much sugar due to the many different names it's listed as, and being measured in grams as opposed to the more commonly understood, teaspoons. A simple step anyone can take to begin eating healthier, is understanding what's in your food adn reading nutrition labels.

Weight loss is something everyone wishes for, but most people aren't very successful in.
Contrary to the popular belief, the "cheat day" can be something hindering you from loosing weight. The ever-so-common 7 day diets, are unfortunately another thing that don't help loose weight in an effective healthy way. Last but not least, don't blame others for supplying unhealthy food, because ultimately the only one responsible for what you eat is you.
