Day 13 - 21 Day Challenge 5K Prep - Best Run - New Gear - Tell your husband to watch what they eat

Wow, I had my best run today...What made the difference? Was it the days off? Was it the new gear (running tights)? What it the fact that my review isn't due until Dec 1st? Oh Yeah!

New Study just published in Nature reports for the first time that a father's diet can affect female offspring's health.  In the study, scientist fed male mice a chronic high fat diet before breeding which resulted in female offspring that had diabetes (increased body weight, adiposity, impaired glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity).  This was due to epigenetic changes, thus it is the first report in mammals of non-genetic, intergenerational transmission of metabolic sequelae of a HFD from father to offspring.
