Larry Takemoto, professor of biology at Kansas State University, explains that surgical removal of the lens is the only current alternative. Takemoto's team is attempting to find another alternative to surgery. Now that winter's changing to spring, it's time to see more children outside playing. Unfortunately, according to Dave Dzewaltowski, head of the kinesiology department at Kansas State University, American children are learning a lesson from their parents and opting to stay inside. Here comes Peter Cottontail, and with him the Easter holiday.
Many families get together for the holiday season and the festivities usually include a big dinner.
One Kansas State University professor, though, urges caution during this holiday season. To quench a thirst when exercising, many people reach for a bottle of a popular sports drink. But according to a Kansas State University nutrition professor, most people can get the same results by drinking water. Skiing can be a very strenuous exercise for a body that has been sitting in front of the TV instead of getting ready for the trip, said David C. Poole, associate professor of kinesiology at Kansas State University. Poole says the best way to prepare your body for skiing pleasure instead of pain is to get in shape.
