Role of Low-Energy Expenditure in the Development of Obesity
2007-10-05 11:15:00
Several studies support the idea that a low RMR is associated with weight gain. A low metabolic rate has been shown to precede body weight gain in infants, children, and in adult Pima Indians and Caucasians. Based on the assumption that formerly obese, weightreduced subjects exhibit the metabolic characteristics that predisposed them to obesity, several studies have compared metabolic rates in formerly obese subjects to those of weight-matched controls who have never been obese.A meta-analysis of 12 such studies corroborates the prospective data by demonstrating a 3?5% lower mean RMR in the formerly obese subjects. Moreover, these data indicate that a low RMR is more frequent among formerly obese subjects than among never-obese control subjects. Studies of the contribution of the sympathoadrenal activity to this trait have yielded conflicting results, probably because comparisons of lean and obese subjects provide only very limited information about the role of the SNS in the aetiol...

An LDL Controversy
2007-10-04 19:59:00
Although LDL is thought to be the major cholesterol-carrying culprit causing heart disease, there is still scientific controversy over the form LDL must take to cause atherosclerosis. For nearly twenty years, atherosclerosis researchers have hypothesized that LDL must change once it?s in the artery wall in order to cause artery blockages. The dominant view has been that LDL must first be oxidized to a more inflammatory form in order to cause serious artery wall damage. Oxidation is the chemical reaction that causes metals to rust by changing the structure of the metals? molecules. Similarly, oxidation may change the chemical structure of LDL molecules by breaking down large fat-containing molecular chains.Although there are literally thousands of studies that have suggested a role for oxidized LDL in causing heart disease, the use of antioxidants, such as vitamin E, has not resulted in any convincing decline in atherosclerosis in humans. This isn?t proof that oxidation is unimportan...

How Is Cardiac Arrest Different from a Heart Attack?
2007-10-04 19:57:00
Most people think of a heart attack as something that happens quickly and causes someone to grab his or her chest and fall to the ground. That?s actually a picture of cardiac arrest. A heart attack, asthe term is commonly used today, generally means the blockage of an artery in the heart that kills some heart muscle. (Medically speaking, this is a myocardial infarction.) A heart attack usually gives some warning. Chest pain or other symptoms can prompt someone to get help before the blockage totally disrupts the heart?s rhythm.Cardiac arrest, though, strikes suddenly and out of the blue. Most cardiac arrests occur when the heart?s powerful lower chambers, the ventricles, start beating very fast (ventricular tachycardia [ta-kih-CAR-dee-uh]) or fast and chaotically (ventricular fibrillation). Either one of these makes it impossible for the heart to pump blood to the body.After just five seconds without blood circulation, a person passes out. In another few seconds, the lack of oxygen ...

Know Where You Want to Go in the Long Run
2007-09-28 23:03:00
Brett Butler?s goal was not only to survive cancer by getting the best treatment possible, but he also wanted to get back to the game of baseball because that was where he felt most alive. Every choice he made, every step of the way, was focused on getting back onto the field of his dreams.The more clearly you can visualize your long-term goals, the more likely you are to avoid wasting your time and energy reaching them. For example, if your goal is to spend your life working as a healer who eases people?s suffering, training to be a medical doctor might be the best way to achieve that goal?or it might leave you feeling frustrated and disillusioned. The pressures on doctors are intense in the ?write-and-rip? world of the modern HMO, where they will see dozens of patients a day. Some doctors who work in that system find ways to remain emotionally connected and caring toward their patients. Others become so stressed by its demands that they become emotionally disconnected or addicted ...

Enjoy Lighter, Smaller Vegetarian Dinners
2007-09-28 22:56:00
It seems to be an American custom for people to eat their biggest meal in the evening. From a standpoint of heart attacks, this is the worst time to eat a big meal . . . especially a meal with a preponderance of fat. It has been definitively established by researchers that the blood is more likely to clot 2 to 8 hours following a meal with a high fat intake. It would therefore seem logical to avoid heavy meals ? particularly in the evening ? to minimize the chances of intravascular clotting. The occurrence of a heart attack after eating a heavy meal has been recognized by doctors for years. Just think of how often you read or hear about a man in his prime dying of a heart attack while in bed at night.Retired people, of course, can regulate their mealtimes easily. Business people can dine at an earlier hour in the evening and can certainly regulate their diet to promote their health and prolong their lives.It can begin with a raw combination salad with lemon and olive oil dressing.

Dreams Can Reflect Past and Present Life
2007-09-28 22:47:00
By exerting your willpower you can eat correctly, get enough exercise and breathe deeply ? but you cannot sleep soundly by willpower alone. Through activity of the body and the brain you can cause weariness ? but that will not insure you perfect rest. You may be too tired or too mentally excited to sleep. If you, for example, were watching a TV movie of violence, slaying characters and solving crimes you may find sleep reluctant. Don?t waste time watching TV violence ? it causes restless sleep and even nightmares! But, when the brain and body are moderately and wisely used, then sweet, sane sleep follows.However, too much sleep is often worse than too little. You can drug yourself with sleep to the point of stupidity, causing the blood circulation in the brain to become overactive and invoke frightening dreams. Fantasy can rise from the subconscious. Grimly, dreams can plunge you into past, old apprehensions and old worries again! Dreams can grow more distressful with age! And with ...

To Enjoy Your Daily Walk Is Important
2007-09-27 11:15:00
Your walking should never be done self-consciously, no heel and toe routine and no time limiting. Let it be the most functional and enjoyable of exercises. Walk naturally ? with head high, spine stretched up, chest out and tummy in. Swing your hips, arms and body into action. Walk as though your legs began at the middle of your torso. Breathe deeply! You will feel physical elation and will carry yourself proudly with body erect and arms swinging easily from your shoulders.Move at your own pace, with a free spirit and a light heart. If you want, listen to motivational tapes or music. As you walk, your body ceases to matter, you become as near a poet and nature philosopher as you will ever be.Walk your worries away! As blood courses through your arteries, cleansing and nourishing your body, you are filled with a sense of well-being that clears your mind of troubles and nourishes it with positive thoughts. As we stride along on our hike, we say to ourselves and sometimes aloud with eac...

Develop Strength from the Inside Out, Not from the Outside In
2007-09-27 11:02:00
Remember that from the day you were born into this world, to the day you die, your 640 muscles play an important role in everything you do. Think of it ? more than half your body is sheer muscle!It isn?t the muscles that you see that count as much as those you don?t see! Along the 30-foot gastrointestinal tract there are muscles to force food along this tube. The work of bringing adequate amounts of air into your powerful lungs also requires other strong muscles.And above all, the greatest muscle in your body is your heart, your number one pump. It is the heart that pumps the blood supply into the body?s 640 muscles. And the more we bring these 640 muscles into play, the better our heart, circulation, physical condition and our entire state of health will be! You have four more extra pumps that can also help this whole process ? they are your two arms and your two legs ? use and exercise them!

Alcohol is a Depressant and Killer!
2007-09-27 10:55:00
Alcohol, generally considered a stimulant, is actually a depressant. It dilates the blood vessels, in time breaking the tiny capillaries, especially of the nose, cheeks, neck and ankles (example: red, swollen nose of hard drinkers). Alcohol is also a relaxant and dulls and paralyses the brain. The drinker loses good judgement and control of the body, and is therefore the cause of thousands of car accidents, crimes, killings, rapes and unnecessary deaths. Drinking alcohol is dangerous and an unhealthy way to relax!The chief toxic effect of alcohol is on the brain and nervous system. Alcohol burns up by depleting the body of vitamin C and also B (the essential nerve vitamin). This, in combination with capillary dilation, can lead to brain hemorrhaging ? which in turn, can lead to paralysis. Medical research has shown that the boisterous actions, loud speech, joviality, bravado and devil-may-care attitude of the alcoholic are actually the beginning paralysis of certain parts of the bra...

Emphysema Smothers it?s Victim
2007-09-26 16:38:00
Emphysema, another killer disease from smoking, is on the rise. Recent medical reports show that as many as half of all American men are suffering from some degree of emphysema. In this disease, the tars, nicotine and other destructive poisons of tobacco lodge in the lungs? small air sacs, causing the sac walls to become very thin or to break down entirely. Soon the blood is no longer able to exchange poisonous carbon dioxide for life-giving oxygen. This self-destructing victim dies of oxygen starvation ?being slowly smothered to death from within.Emphysema is not a quick killer. It creeps up slowly, first with a slight cough ? especially on arising. Then it attacks the smoker day and night. Slowly, air sacs are almost completely destroyed. The victim doesn?t die suddenly, but lingers on steadily deteriorating. They are forced to stay near an oxygen tank because the disease is shutting off their oxygen. When the lungs can?t operate any longer even with pure oxygen, the victim then d...

Dealing with Hospital Costs If You Have Insurance
2007-09-25 15:48:00
If you have insurance in any form?HMO, Medicaid, Medicare, indemnity, and so on?you must understand that the insurance company is likely not going to cover everything the hospital bills you for. The first place to start, therefore, is to look at your policy to determine what is covered and what is not. These are the questions you need answered:If the insurance is managed care insurance, is the hospital part of the plan?s network? Network hospitals have negotiated rates with the plan and you will be covered for a lot of the hospital?s charges based on your policy. If the hospital is not in the network, you will have to pay for all or a big portion of the charges, unless the visit was due to an emergency. With Medicare and Medicaid, the hospital just has to be certified as a Medicare or Medicaid provider for you to get the benefits (nearly all hospitals are). With indemnity insurance, you can go to any hospital of your choosing but remember the plan will only pay a portion of the char...

Your Hormones Doing If You Are sleeping
2007-09-24 19:17:00
When you were young, your mother may have told you that you need to get enough sleep to grow strong and tall. She may have been right! Deep sleep triggers more release of growth hormone, which fuels growth in children and boosts muscle mass and the repair of cells and tissues in children and adults. Sleep?s effect on the release of sex hormones also encourages puberty and fertility. Consequently, women who work at night and tend to lack sleep are, therefore, more likely to have trouble conceiving or to miscarry.Your mother also probably was right if she told you that getting a good night?s sleep on a regular basis would help keep you from getting sick and help you get better if you do get sick. During sleep, your body creates more cytokines?cellular hormones that help the immune system fight various infections. Lack of sleep can reduce the ability to fight off common infections. Research also reveals that a lack of sleep can reduce the body?s response to the flu vaccine. For example...

Practice Detachment
2007-09-23 19:44:00
Worry, anxiety, behaving compulsively, and being in an unhealthy relationship with a friend, significant other, or coworker are all forms of attachment that cause stress.It is not easy to stop worrying about the present and the future, to cease feeling obligated to those to whom we really aren?t obligated, and to separate yourself from tasks and responsibilities that really belong to others. The first step toward detachment is to identify the things in your life that do not belong there. This can be done by sitting down and making a list with two headings: ?My Life and Responsibilities? and ?Other People?s Lives and Responsibilities.? Once you have identified which things in life you are not responsible for, you can start consciously disassociating yourself from them one by one.Many of us do not realize how addicted we have become to solving other people?s problems and helping them to see how much easier, less stressed, and efficient their lives would be if only they would do things...

Control Your Emotions for Maximum Performance
2007-09-23 19:38:00
Being in control of your emotions at all times is another important key to maximum performance. Control ling your emotions is not the same thing as suppressing them. Rather, I?m referring to a technique that will allow your emotions to easily pass through you as they happen so that you will not become so emotionally paralyzed, stressed, or unfocused that you cannot perform properly. If you cannot gain access to your emotions, acknowledge them, and process them, you lose energy because they move below the conscious level and become tied up somewhere inside, creating an energetic short circuit. The result is compromised performance.In order to keep that short circuit from happening every time you encounter an emotional stressor, utilize an autohypnosis technique:Squeeze your hand into a fist and release it five times, repeating the word control and consciously letting go of the stressor. Each time you do this, simply feel your emotions and your stress pass through you. Sometimes it hel...

It?s Harmful to Your Health to Overeat!
2007-09-22 09:22:00
Second after second, minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day our faithful, loyal heart is working to keep us alive. In both our waking hours and during our sleep, our heart takes only a sixth of a second to rest between beats. The hardest work the heart has to do is right after an individual has eaten. The bigger the meal, the more work it has to do in pumping vast quantities of blood into the digestive tract.New studies done by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, found that one out of five Americans are obese and the rate is climbing yearly ? it?s an epidemic! Obesity is defined as anyone over 30% of their ideal body weight. This leads to high triglyceride levels which can cause diabetes and cardiovascular disease.Remember, exercise is a major key factor in lowering weight and helping keep the heart healthy and fit.

Salt Affects Your Blood Pressure
2007-09-22 06:34:00
What causes high blood pressure? Medical Science recognizes many causes: tension, strains, stress, toxic substances such as cigarettes and gasoline, food additives, insecticide sprays, etc. and the side effects of drugs and industrial toxins are all suspect. What can you do to protect yourself from these injurious agents? You would do well to exclude as many of these harmful factors from your environment and life as soon as possible!However, there is one cause of high blood pressure which can be easily avoided. Sodium chloride (common table salt) is the major cause of high blood pressure! Up to now, we have been talking about causing high blood pressure in the normal person. But how about the effects of salt on those millions suffering from our country?s most prevalent and preventable ailment ? excess weight? This is a prime area for research because obesity is known to be frequently accompanied by high blood pressure. Medical researchers proclaim a link between high blood pressure ...

The Difference Between Organic and Inorganic Minerals
2007-09-22 06:22:00
Inorganic minerals never lived and are inert . . . which means that they cannot be absorbed into the body!Organic minerals are those which come from that which is living or has lived . . . and 16 of these organic minerals are essential elements of the human body. When we eat an apple or any other fruit or vegetable, that substance is living, for it has a certain lifespan after it has been picked. The same is true of animal foods, such as fish, milk, cheese and eggs. Animals obtain their organic minerals from plants. We humans obtain our organic minerals from both plants and animals.Only a living plant has the power to extract inorganic minerals from the earth and sun and change them into organic minerals. No animal or human can do this. If you were stranded on an uninhabited island where nothing was growing, you would starve to death. Although the soil beneath your feet would contain all 16 essential minerals, your body could not absorb them.Many years ago someone was on an expediti...

Pure Water Helps Keep Body Clean Inside
2007-09-22 06:16:00
To have a clean, healthy bloodstream and arteries free from encrustation and corrosion, we must not only eat correctly but also drink the right fluids. The liquids which go into our bodies must be pure and nourishing.To begin with, we believe that every person should have the equivalent of 8 to 10 glasses of pure distilled water every day. It can be obtained in most supermarkets, grocery stores and health stores. If you cannot find it readily, look under water in the yellow pages of your telephone directory for local bottled water suppliers.Distilled water has no inorganic minerals to deposit on the walls of the arteries and other pipes of the body. In contrast, most sources of well, spring and river waters all contain inorganic minerals and some even have toxic chemicals which cannot ever be utilized in the body chemistry. They corrode the human pipes just as they do the plumbing pipes which bring water into your home.

Hypertension Can Be Prevented
2007-09-20 16:58:00
According to scientists, they have found that we all carry a salt gene, called angiotensinogen, that can affect our blood pressure. Those with mutated forms of this gene are more likely to develop high blood pressure, say researchers in the Hyper tension Journal. Blood pressure declines in people with this altered gene when they use less salt. The Am. Heart Assoc. recommends no more than 2,400 mgs of sodium daily. Bragg Liquid Aminos, a delicious all-purpose seasoning, contains less than 110 mg organic sodium per 2 tsp ? a safe salt substitute.Read food labels! Cured meats (salami, hot dogs, etc.), frozen dinners, canned soups, stews, chilis, pretzels, chips, and snack foods contain lots of salt. Sweets such as cookies, cakes and soft drinks are loaded with sodium, best to avoid them. Instead, consume lots of calcium and potassium rich foods; both of these minerals have healthy beneficial effects on blood pressure.

Chronic Depression May Lead to Cancer
2007-09-20 16:55:00
According to researchers at the National Institute on Ageing in Bethesda, they tracked 4,825 elderly Americans for 10 years, and found that those who were chronically depressed during the first six years of the study were almost twice as likely to develop cancer as their nondepressed counter-parts. (See web: depression.net) Cancer malignancies of the breast, colon, lung and prostate were prominent in chronically depressed individuals. The researchers stated that depression cannot be considered a cause for cancer, but they noted that depression boosts blood levels of stress hormones, which impair immune function. Chronic depression appears to suppress the immune system significantly enough and long enough to allow cancer cells to multiply.

Proteins !!!!!
2007-09-15 11:13:00
I suggest a daily intake of 20 percent lean protein. Good sources of protein are chicken breasts, all types of fish, beef with a low fat content (in moderation), and soy products. Prot ein is a stabilizing food that assists in insulin management, as well as serves other vital roles in normal body function. Because protein is not stored, a person requires three balanced meals and two or three snacks that include protein per day to suppress their hunger and mobilize their body fat for burning during physical exercise. A good protein to ingest as a snack would be soy-based foods such as Personal Edge soy protein powder, which you can find in many health food stores or General Nutrition Center stores in your area. Research has shown the greatest benefits occur from ingesting at least 20 to 25 grams per day. I suggest adding your soy powder to low-fat milk or unsweetened fruit juice and having it as a midmorning and midafternoon snack.Soy products have always been a part of my nutrition p...

Exercise Can Decrease Your Back and Joint Pain !!!
2007-09-15 08:47:00
An alarming 50 percent of people over the age of thirty suffer from pain in at least one joint and from low back pain. These conditions have been brought on by a variety of causes, including sportsinjuries, overuse of joints in activities such as excessive jogging, strain on the joints and back from obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and poor posture caused by the weakening of the muscles in the core area of the body.If done incorrectly and at too great a level of intensity, exercise can have detrimental effects on back and joint pain. But if done correctly and under a doctor?s supervision, exercise can decrease lower back pain significantly by strengthening the core area of the body. It can also lessen the effects of osteoarthritis by increasing joint flexibility and range of motion.Dr. Mike Wilson, tells all of his clients with chronic lower back pain to get into a good program of exercises for the core area of the body.

Smoking Has Many Ways to Kill You!

The body has no defense against carbon monoxide produced by smoking. You have read about people committing suicide or being killed by carbon monoxide fumes. Why deliberately breathe them into your lungs? The coal tars in tobacco are the chief poisons responsible for cancer of the lungs, mouth and related areas of the body. It frightens us to think of what will happen in another 25 years because of the excessive use of tobacco. We are convinced that every smoker will eventually develop lung, throat or some form of cancer ?if heart disease or something else doesn?t kill them first!The results of a recent federal health study found that cigars are no less hazardous than other forms of tobacco, and therefore needs stronger federal regulation! The absence of such warning labels on cigars could lead consumers to erroneously conclude that cigars don?t carry health risks. Beware ? there is no safe form of deadly tobacco!

Tobacco ? Enemy of Your Heart and Health
2007-09-15 06:35:00
Whether it?s cigarettes, cigars or pipes, tobacco is one of the heart?s worst enemies! Here is what Dr. Lester M. Morrison, noted California heart specialist and pioneer in the low-cholesterol diet for the treatment and the prevention of heart disease, said about tobacco:Tobacco is a poison. Nicotine, the main ingredient of tobacco, is a poison affecting the brain, heart and other vital organs. The tobacco plant is directly related to the deadly nightshade family of plants. Aside from the chief poison, nicotine, there are other well-known poisons present in tobacco: arsenic and coal tar substances and carbon monoxide (when tobacco is burned).Dr. Morrison also said, Nicotine is the most noxious substance that affects the blood vessels in man. Nicotine is a powerful drug that constricts the arteries, narrowing still more the vital passageways of the blood, already clogged by other toxic residue. The tobacco smoker does double damage to his heart ? first, by filling the bloodstream wit...
