Sean Conro, a sophomore physical education major from South Elgin, knew in high school he had a problem with his weight. At nearly 350 pounds, Conro hadn't paid attention to the health risks of carrying so much weight. He wants to do the same as well as help kids who are fighting obesity because, with the right help and support, anyone can do it. Conro appreciates the physical education faculty in the School of Kinesiology and Recreation because it is their job and passion to help people understand the importance of movement and healthy choices. Once he decided to take action and start losing weight, his parents began to help by focusing on food preparation and portions.
Scientists have found that this gene, located in the brain, controls fat storage in the intestine. We are also similar in size genetically, with the worm containing 20,000 genes compared with up to 25,000 in humans. At no longer than a millimetre, the transparent worm shares a similar gene to humans. Scientists say we need look no further than the brain of the humble roundworm. But when sugar was removed from their diet, the worms lost fat and gained energy - much like humans.
