The city health commissioner, Thomas Farley, called the vote "historic".However, Liz Berman, president of Continental Food and Beverage and head of the New Yorkers for Beverage Choices lobby group, described the "discriminatory ban" as a "fix"."It's sad that the board wants to limit our choices. We are smart enough to make our own decisions about what to eat and drink." she said in a statement.However, there is nothing to stop people from buying as much soda as they like by refilling smaller containers. Also, the ban does not extend to drinks sold in supermarkets or any dairy or fruit drinks, many of which also contain huge quantities of sugar.Diet and alcoholic drinks are also exempted. The measure, which could face legal challenges from the soft drinks industry, takes effect insix months.According to official statistics, some 6,000 people in New York die each year from obesity-linked problems. One in eight adult New Yorkers has diabetes, which can be worsened by sugar consumption.Boosting the mayor, the newly-built basketball stadium for the Brooklyn Nets announced it will immediately adopt the rules, well ahead of the March 12 deadline.The measure generated a stormy debate, including 38,000 comments written to the Board of Health.

People with positive attitudes about aging alsohad a slower decline in their ability to do daily tasks such as dressing and bathing.Until now, experts say, most of the research on attitudes about aging and health has looked at the health risks and losses linked to a negative views. But this study suggests there may be actual health benefits to having a more positive view about aging.In the study, researchers periodically surveyed 598 people aged 70 or older about their views on aging over a period of about 11 years.None were disabled when the study started, but later on, all of them had at least one month when they needed help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, or walking.The older people with positive views on aging were more likely to progress from severe disability to mild disability or mild disability to no disability. And they also had a slower rate of decline in their ability to perform daily activities as they got older.Of course, many factors affect whether or to what extent a person recovers from disability. This study does not prove that a positive attitude about aging made a difference. Positive views on aging may help people recover from disability and promote independent living in a variety of ways.A person's attitudes about aging say a lot about how much they believe their health is under their own control. People with positive age attitudes may be more likely to live a healthy lifestyle, keep up on their doctor appointments, and take their medicines as ordered.Researchers say the next step is to look at how people can upgrade their attitudes about aging.11.
