Page 10/The Battalion/Wednesday, June 22,1983 Research says wait then exercise to lose weight Warped United Press International ITHACA, N.Y. — Exercising within a couple of hours after eating may burn off more calor ies than exercising on an empty stomach, says Dr. David Levitsky of Cornell University. But exercising immediately after eating is not a good idea because it interferes with the absorption of nutrients in the in testines. Wait about an hour, suggests the professor of nutri tional sciences and associate pro fessor of psychology. Levitsky’s remarks are based on a Cornell research project in dicating exercise not only is a very important factor in weight regulation but that its timing is very important. Levitsky and graduate stu dent Eva Obarzanek studied luxus consumption — the idea that people who overeat gain far less weight than could have been expected, given the large amount of calories consumed. Obarzanek said this indicates that exercising after overeating stimulates the rate at which calories are burned off. To study the phenomenon, she and the professor tested lean college students while eating normally, fasting, and over eating. On the day after each dietary regimen, the volunteers ate a normal meal and, 45 minutes la ter, began walking on a slightly inclined treadmill at 3 mph for 20 minutes. An increase in calorie burnoff did not occur right after eating or by exercise only. The professor said this im plies either dieting alone or ex ercising alone undermines the body’s natural capability to burning calories through exer cise. “Most people gain back the weight they lose from dieting very quickly,” he said, so the way people expend calories may be the key to weight reduction. The Cornell nutritionists found burning of calories in creased about 10 percent to 15 percent after eating normally or by fasting on day one and then eating normally and exercising on day two. But when the students who overate on the first day ate a nor mal meal the second day and then exercised, the thermogene sis rate increased almost 50 per cent. “This shows how the body rids itself of extra calories con sumed when you overeat,” Levitsky said. “And it also points out how important exercise is to any weight-loss diet. Without exer cise, these calories don’t have any way to burn up,” he said. The research also supports the idea that the heaviest meals should be eaten at breakfast and lunch. “People are more active dur ing the day, so if you want to burn off more calories, it’s better to eat earlier in the day,” the professor said. The exercise can be as little as a brisk 20 minute walk at the recommended time. Mexican firms opened up Investment rules changel United Press International MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s largest leftist party accused the government of “selling out” to the United States by modifying investment regulations to allow foreigners to become majority owners in Mexican firms. will help solve the country’s eco nomic crisis. Rubio del Cueto said that the new regulations should spur U.S. investment in Mexico to 25 percent over the amount in vested during 1982. “Modifications in our invest ment laws will oply serve to deepen our dependence on U.S. imperialism in commercial and financial relations,” said Jaime Trejo, spokesman for the com- list-dominated PSUM. mumst- PRESENT THIS COUPON BEFORE ORDERING AND RECEIVE Now you know TOSTADA with purchase of one at regular price.

We feel by inviting the public to select the parade outfits we will help strengthen the country’s feeling of Olympic involve ment,” said Robert D. Haas, ex ecutive vice president of Levi Strauss & Company. Levi is the official outfitter for the U.S. Olympic team. “By letting the ‘voice of the people’ determine the final selection, the outfit will truly re flect the spirit of the United States,” Haas said. “It’s the first time ever the public has been given a chance to get involved,” said Betty Louis, director of Olympic mer chandising for Levi. Louis said voters can cast their ballot at participating retail stores carrying Levi. The ballot ing period is from July I through Sept. 30, 1983. She said the three red, white and blue outfits were developed for the Olympics after the com pany polled former Olympians on what they were most com fortable wearing. “We also looked at fiber con tent, fabric care, and clean, sim ple designs,” she said. “The athletes have a lot of pride in representing America, but they don’t always want to go every where wrapped up like a flag. “We also found we had special problems in dealing with the outfitting of world-class athletes. Trying to outfit the 80- pound gymnist and the 300- pound weight lifter in the same thing meant doing some re search,” she said. Louis said the team members have conditioned their bodies and developed muscles the gen eral public has not. “General sizes you find in the store just won’t work. We will be making clothes from sizes triple extra small to triple extra-large.” “We had to sew a 40-inch in seam in a pair of pants one time, and make a pair of mens’ size 15 shoes.” She said each athlete will have a wardrobe of at least 35 items. This will include a medals suit to be worn when presented with the bronze, silver or gold awards, a set of casual wear items including jeans, and a for mal outfit for television inter views or other occasions. A team of more than 200 workers will set up shop in Los Angeles to do fittings and alterations for the athletes in a 24-hour period. sufficient dollars to ketf principle payments on iti $84 billion foreign dek The Mexican govt meanwhile pledged tod! almost 1.5 million acre to 20,000 landless peas year and indicated soik terrain could be codI from large landownm Agrarian Reform !
