		<description><![CDATA[A few months ago, the recommended daily amount (RDA) of exercise was dramatically increased. I don&#8217;t remember what the RDA is, but I remember my reaction: &#8220;You have got to be kidding!&#8221; New studies show that even if you do less exercise, it still helps.

Here&#8217;s a an interview with a physician (and there&#8217;s a reference to an article at the end) on stool transplant as a treatment for recurring C-diff. Yeah, well, it works.
