And a new study finds playing "active" video games like Nintendo "we" does not replace real exercise or sports. Researchers say game systems like "we" do not require enough energy to count as part of your daily workout.

In today's fit for life... Are you feeling more like scrooge than Santa’s elves this holiday season?

Doctors say your "bah humbug" could be a result of a lack of sleep. This time of year, lots of people sleep less in order to get their shopping, decorating and cooking done. Experts recommend getting a head start on your holiday preparations, so you can actually enjoy Christmas!

And... More concerns over plastic water bottles that could be bad for your health. Some stores are keeping "Nalgene" and other polycarbonate plastic bottles off their shelves until a Canadian health study is completed.

The concern is over a chemical that can disrupt the hormonal system. The FDA has sided with the plastics industry, saying the products do not pose a risk.
