    It is possible to just exercise and lose weight, but sooner or later the person will not lose any more weight without changing eating habits as w...
  • Eating For A Healthy Life  By : Ken Snodin
    Few people have given any thought to what their nutritional needs are or how important nutrition is to their overall health. They don’t know that, for example, if the human brain doesn’t get enough protein, it won’t develop correctly, or that if a female body doesn’t get enough of certain nutritional substances like flax oil, the metabolism will be impaired, and the body will gain weight.

    This information highlights and emphasizes the critical importance of determining wha...
  • Supplement Your Diet With Vitamin B12  By : Jenny Riley
    Lack of a proper blood level in human beings is the major cause of the condition known as anemia.

    Shortage of blood means erythrocytes or red blood cells will not be produced in the correct quantity.

    The anomaly can be rectified with diets. Specifically, diets containing large amount of Vitamin B12 (cobalamin).

    Studies show that some cases of Vitamin B12 anemic condition can lead to permanent brain damage.

    The good news however, is vitamin B12 is present in almost...
  • Healthy Eating  By : Mark Ransome
    Healthy eating is difficult to achieve because we have so many health factors to consider and food choices to make. We know antioxidants are good for us so we want to eat lots of colorful fruits and vegetables because they contain phytochemicals like carotenoids and flavonoids which neutralize the free radicals that cause the age-related degenerative diseases. We know that we may not get all the antioxidants that we need in our food so we take supplements to ensure an adequat...
  • Regulation Of Trans Fats  By : Mark Ransome
    Should we regulate the amount of trans fats contained in the food we eat? A Canadian government task force on trans fats is recommending that all vegetable oils and spreadable margarines have the trans fat content limited to 2% of the total fat content and all other foods be limited to a maximum of 5% of total fat content. These new regulations would decrease the average trans fat intake by at least 55%.

    What are trans fats? Fatty acids in foods are made up of polyunsatura...
  • The Dangers Of Fad Dieting  By : Martin Stanwyck
    Almost everywhere you turn, fad diets are appearing. They often deliver results, but at what cost? Is there a healthier but still effective option?

    You’re joining your friend for lunch. She looks great. She’s shed the extra twenty pounds that she’s been carrying since college, and she’s dressed in a slinky black outfit that makes you a bit envious. When you question her about it, she tells you she’s been on the Atkins diet. She proceeds to recount how she ate a pile of bac...
  • Is Your Weight Stressing You Out?  By : Ted Salonica
    I have been asked recently, what is my secret for my weight loss.

    I jokingly just say I quit eating. But I am serious. Who says you must eat 3 meals every day?

    Did GOD tell Adam he must eat 3 balanced meals a day? I have also heard it said that to lose weight you must eat 3 meals a day. Wow, who comes up with this stuff.

    What I have found to be true in all my current research is this. Most people who are over- weight; (and how many people do you know that are not ove...
  • Your Body Is An Engine  By : Ted Salonica
    Growing up around surface coal mining and machines with engines, I learned a lot about how engines work and the basics that they need. Now today learning about nutrition I find some similarities. Stay with me here. It will make sense, I hope. The needs of your body are similar to the needs of the engine in your car. These needs are Fuel, Air, and Spark. By the way, you must have realized by now that I am a very simple minded person with a very simple mind. To simplify, this a...
  • Isn’t It Interesting That You Are Never Bored When Your Head Is In The Refrigerator?  By : Helen Robinson
    We all know the secret of staying slim is not to eat yourself into oblivion! But if you stay at home and do the same things everyday, you’re going go be bored to tears. Monet Robier, a dancer/choreographer said, “Everyday there must be something I can't do, otherwise it's boring.”

    At the age of 70 I retired. Happy days were ahead. I could do what I want, when I want and if I want to do nothing that’s okay too. I watched daytime TV, did the crossword puzzles, read the newsp...
  • The Mind-Body Connection To Detox  By : Oswald H.Seifert
    The mind-body connection to addiction may open up new forms of drug-free detox treatments. The breakthrough was discovering that certain drug (opiate) receptors in the brain are only found in humans and different types of animals that have spines or back bones. Specific (limbic) systems that control emotions in the brain are affected by stimulating these drug receptors. Drugs stimulate these receptors but so does physical movement.

  • What Are The Side Effects Of A Detox?  By : Darry J.Oswald
    Why do we need to detox?

    Our bodies are able to detoxify chemicals without help. However, many experts believe that the enormous number of chemicals we ingest daily through food, water, and the environment can accumulate.

    The buildup, called the toxic burden or body burden, can overwhelm the body's capacity to detoxify and may lead to hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiency, and inefficient metabolism

  • Detox Via Sauna?  By : Oswald H.Seifert
    How do I get started?

    It's important to see your primary care provider for a thorough assessment to ensure that your symptoms are not caused by a medical condition that requires treatment. Even serious diseases, such as cancer, can present with seemingly minor symptoms such as fatigue and back pain. Or, they may only be detected by laboratory tests.

    There's no golden rule about what diet to follow or for how long, but the general theory is to temporarily (no more than o...

  • Why High Protein Diets Won't Help You Lose Weight  By : Jonathan Perez
    There are all kinds of diet recommendations all over the bodybuilding magazines, fad diet books, and websites that advise to divide your eating into different "ratios" and "percentages" for weight loss and fat burning. But the one thing that each and every one of these "weight loss" / "fat burning" diets say is it must be HIGH in protein. It is NOT necessary at all to eat a diet high in protein to lose weight.
  • Increasing Longevity Through Better Nutrition  By : Allison Preston
    In an archipelago southwest of Japan, lies the island of Okinawa, which is home to the healthiest population of centenarians (people over 100 years old) on earth. They suffer fewer instances of cancer, diabetes and heart attacks. Their secrets include a more nutrient based diet and less stressful living.

    Okinawan centenarians stay lean by eating fewer calories than they burn off during the day. They maintain a healthy weight. For them, meals are a social event where the fo...

    Searching for a new diet that works? If you’re a habitual dieter, wouldn’t it be nice to stop changing diets? Is there a diet that actually works?

    Everyone has a habit or a vice. Some people smoke. Some people bite their fingernails. Some people can’t resist having a piece of chocolate before bed time, and others snore when they sleep. Others are habitual dieters, always looking for a new diet that promises astonishing results.

  • The Food Theme Diet  By : Nelson Carrasco
    This is a very interesting diet concept that I think may work for many people. It is known as the “food theme” diet and allows you to eat the foods you like, while losing a good amount of weight naturally. The diet is centered on eating less overall rather than eating the healthiest and natural foods you can find, although this does help as well.

    The basic concept of the diet is to choose a theme of food and to stick to that particular theme for a day. For example if you c...
  • Is The Sonoma Diet Plan Right For You  By : Allison Preston

  • How Much Protein Should You Eat?  By : Karen Peralta
    Don’t sacrifice your carbohydrates for a high protein diet, and think twice before “bulking up” those biceps with protein to look better at the gym. Your daily diet shouldn’t contain more than 30% protein ideally, because an excess of it will do you more harm than good. So says Gail Butterfield, Ph.D., director of Nutrition Studies at the Palo Alto Veterans Administration Medical Center.

    Dr. Butterfield says that excess protein in your diet may have harmful effects. If you...
  • Simple Rules For Personal Health And Hygiene  By : Karen Peralta
    Have you been following a plan for your own personal hygiene, or do you get up in the morning, take a bath, brush and blow dry your hair, use the bathroom through the day, and go to bed at night? If you only do the latter, you need to put more planning and preparation into your personal care and grooming.

    Cleanliness is seen nowadays as next to Godliness, and neglect of your own personal hygiene may cause health and social problems of which you are not even aware. Bad brea...
  • Health Benefits Of Massage Recliners  By : Wayne McDonald
    After a long hard day at the office wouldn’t it be nice to get a massage. Unfortunately you have to first find a certified or licensed massage therapist. If you’re lucky and happen to know someone or have a regular therapist you work with, you still have to schedule an appointment. After you call and set the time you’ll have to get back into your car and drive to therapist’s office.

  • Disturbing New Study About Obesity And Weight Loss  By : Wayne McDonald
    Study Shows Some Americans Would Choose Divorce, Depression and Alcoholism Over Obesity

    May 23, 2006 -- What would you be willing to sacrifice if it ensured you would never be fat?

    Would you give up a year of your life? Or 10 years?

    Would you rather be divorced, unable to have children, depressed, alcoholic?

    A disturbing new study out of Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity found that nearly half -- 46 percent -- of 4,283 participants would ra...
  • Weight Gain In Adulthood - Slowing It Down  By : Karen Peralta
    The biggest problem we face in America today is not terrorism – it is obesity. This is according to Dr. Julie Gerberding, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in America. And it seems much of this problem is happening in a slow and creeping way, through gradual young and middle-aged adult weight gain, over very long periods of time.

    On the average, a typical American adult gains at least two pounds per year over his or her lifetime. That probably means th...
  • Eat Your Carbs, They're Good For You!  By : Karen Peralta
    You may think after all of the talk lately about carb reduction that you need to avoid eating carbohydrates. But the exact opposite is the case. The kinds of carbohydrates you get from fruits and vegetables are a necessary basis of your daily diet. Instead of helping you “pack on the pounds,” they actually help you to burn fat. They are also a major source of fuel for your body, especially your muscles, brain and nervous system.

    Carbs occur in two types: simple and complex...
  • The Search For The Right Fat Burner  By : Julee Mitchelsin
    If you are anything like me and most of the adult American population, then you can hardly make it a day without hearing something new about a good food, a food to avoid, a magic exercise or the perfect fat burner. It seems that the search for the best bodies for the least work possible is on with full speed.

    As a personal fitness trainer I am more than a little bit concerned about this "get fit quick and painless" mentality I meet in so many American adults. I guess it ma...

  • Morbid Obesity Details  By : Rick McManus
    Misbehaviour is bad but there is always a step worse isn’t there? Bland food is bad but again there is always a taste worse? So why should obesity be any different. There is obesity and then there is morbid obesity. Obesity is classed when you have a BMI (Body mass index) of 30, when you have a BMI of 40 then you are classed as an urgent morbidity risk; morbid obesity!

    Morbid obesity is a lot more serious than obesity although that itself is highly dangerous to your body’s...
  • Getting Obesity Help  By : Rick McManus
    Obesity help can come in many shapes and sizes. Family embers and friends can lodge their support by dieting with you or helping you to diet alone. Doctors can help by referring you to a nutritionist and prescribing you some appetite suppressants (also known as diet pills, be wary of them). Nutritionists will help you by coming up with a diet plan which you abide by and then concentrating on an exercise routine when you can manage one.

    Another new way to help people suffer...

  • Using Phentermine For Obesity  By : Rick McManus
    Phentermine is a drug used to suppress your appetite so this is given widely to patients who suffer from obesity as doctors and likes think it will help, but in truth there are more disadvantages to these types of methods of weight loss.
