Teenagers Now Susceptible to Heart Disease
2007-09-15 06:21:00
Nutritional biochemist, famous Dr. T. Colin Campbell of Cornell University has found that one out of two children born today will develop heart disease, and a new study from the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions (http://www.americanheart.org/), shows that heart disease actually begins developing early in childhood. Fatty deposits in the coronary arteries begin appearing by the age of 3, in children who partake in a typical American diet -processed foods laden with fats. By the age of 12, nearly 70% of our children have advanced fatty deposits, and by the age of 21, early stages of heart disease is evident in virtually all young adults! Dr. John Knowles, of the Rockefeller Foundation, has cited that 99% of all children are born healthy, yet are made sick as a result of their eating habits. The tender years of childhood should be the healthiest of all, bones are strong, hair is thick, liver and endocrine glands are functioning to full capacity, and they should have inexha...

Early Lifestyle Triggers Obesity
2007-09-15 06:19:00
Lifestyle triggers obesity in kids. Many young people are not physically active on a regular basis and physical activity declines dramatically during adolescence. Regular physical activity in childhood and adolescence improves strength and endurance, helps build healthy bones and muscles, helps control weight, reduces anxiety and stress and increases self-esteem. It also helps normalize blood pressure and cholesterol levels.There are numerous reasons for concern for these overweight children. Studies show that overweight children are at risk for many serious diseases such as high levels of blood pressure, insulin and cholesterol, making them excellent candidates for conditions like heart disease, diabetes and cancer. In addition, there is the emotional stress and depression associated with peer pressure and the stigmatism of being fat.It?s important to be supportive, accepting and loving of all children, overweight or not. A positive self-image is important for weight control. There...

Learn to Anticipate Life?s Next Moves
2007-09-13 14:12:00
If you do then you need only take the actions most needed, and you will not waste precious energy rushing around trying this, that, and the other thing until you get it right. Great athletes know how to enhance their performance through anticipating the competition. Retired Miami Dolphin Dan Marino could always come up to the line of scrimmage and have a very accurate idea of where his opponents were going to move. Wayne Gretsky, one of the greatest hockey players of all time, could always see the puck coming two moves away. He knew so much about his game and the people he played against that he could almost always guess what the opposition?and his fellow teammates?were going to do next. Tiger Woods has the same gift.In life, we need not only to be aware of what?s going on in the here and now but also to be able to look down the road and see what?s approaching. Some blows are inevitable, and the best we can do is to see them coming and try to limit the damage. Others we can prepare ...

Carbohydrates !!!!
2007-09-12 01:26:00
This Post For Tags : Health, Healthy live, Healthy Tips, Live Tips, Healthy Live TipsIn my experience, many people find a food program consisting of 55 percent carbohydrates an intimidating amount. This is because many of the popular diet books out there have caused people to shift their dietary fears from fats to carbohydrates. The key is not to be afraid to eat carbohydrates, but to learn how to manage your intake of carbs relative to your activity level. We all know of people who have lost a great deal of scale weight on low-carbohydrate diets, but it?s a sure thing that they felt irritable, headachy, and fatigued while on that diet. To maintain the brain and central nervous system, the body needs a certain amount of glucose, which it gets from sugars and starches, the byproducts of carbohydrates after digestion. The body stores this glucose in the liver and in the muscles. When you do not ingest a sufficient amount of carbohydrates in your daily diet, the body has to get its sup...

Fiber Is Important !!!
2007-09-10 16:45:00
Fiber is simply plant food that passes undigested through the small intestine. There are two basic types of fiber, insoluble and soluble. Insoluble fibers hold less water and include foods such as vegetables, most bran products, and whole grains. These types of foods provide bulk and help to normalize bowel movements. Soluble fibers hold up to forty times their weight in water, and include such foods as oats, any type of legume, beans, and psyllium. These kinds of foods provide the primary food source for friendly bacteria in the intestinal track. Not getting enough soluble fiber in your daily diet can lead to reduced growth of friendly bacteria, increased growth of unfriendly bacteria, constipation, and increased risk for colorectal cancer. Citrus fruits and apples, the most soluble fibers, hold 100 times their weight in water.While the average person eats 16 to 17 grams of fiber per day, the National Cancer Institute recommends an average of 25 grams daily. A recent study by the A...

Essential Fatty Acids Decrease Health Risks
2007-09-10 11:28:00
Two kinds of unsaturated fats are necessary for your very survival. These are the essential fatty acids omega-6 (linoleic acid) and omega-3 (linolenic acid). Since your body cannot manufacture these fatty acids, they must be obtained from the foods you eat. Omega-6 is fairly common and is found in most of the vegetable oils sold in the grocery store. I suggest, however, that you try to buy your vegetable oils in health foods stores, if possible. Most typical grocery store oils, which are processed for mass distribution, are often filled with free radicals and bad fats called trans-fatty acids. Omega-3 is found in soy oil, walnut oil, flax oil, and canola oils and in dark green, leafy vegetables. I suggest that you purchase all oils in dark-colored green or amber bottles, since clear bottles tend to make the oils go rancid after a time due to chemical changes caused by exposure to sunlight.It is especially important to make sure that you supplement your food plan with enough omega-3 ...

Chemical Changes That Occur during Stress
2007-09-10 01:51:00
When you find yourself in a situation that your body perceives as stressful, a number of chemical reactions occur that push certain body systems into higher gear by shutting down or cutting off energy to others.Stress affects the cardiovascular system. The first to be affected is the cardiovascular system. In the presence of danger, much of the blood in your outer extremities is shunted to organs that need more oxygen, such as the brain (the decision maker), the heart, and your other vital organs, such as the lungs and the liver. The constricting of the blood supply to your hands, arms, feet, and legs has another role?it decreases your blood loss should you be injured. Your body also increases its production of endorphins and other pain-reducing chemicals so that you won?t feel the injury as keenly as you normally would. When these changes happen, your blood pressure rises, your pulse races, and your heart must beat faster and harder to handle the strain. Adrenaline causes glucose a...

Cultivate Healthy and Loving Relationships
2007-09-08 16:21:00
While codependence serves no one, working to create healthy and emotionally stable relationships in our lives does much to keep our stress levels low. In their book Feeling Good Is Good for You: How Pleasure Can Boost Your Immune System and Lengthen Your Life, Drs. Carl Charnetski and Francis Brennan point out that we are at our happiest and healthiest when we have loving people in our lives. Studies have shown that chronically lonely people have greater instances of illness, lower levels of life satisfaction, and even earlier death rates than people who have significant others in their lives. The authors write: ?Do you have people to lean on, people to talk to you, people to tell you that, despite your doubts, everything will work out? That?s emotional support, and it can come from anyone?a lover, parents, other family members, friends, neighbors, acquaintances at the gym or country club, members of a church group, coworkers, the bowling league, even seemingly impersonal cyber-frie...

Exercise for Heart Health
2007-09-08 07:05:00
Be aware that doing the right kind of exercise is one of the best prescriptions for gaining and maintaining a healthy heart and cardiovascular system. According to an excellent ten-year study done at the Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute:Regular exercise is associated with marked reductions in the long-term risks for major cardiac events such as heart attack or stroke, and death from heart disease.People who exercise regularly, at least three times per week, reduced their chance of a cardiac event from 30 to 50 percent. A study from the Cooper Clinic shows that physical fitness is directly correlated with increased life span and fewer deaths from cardiovascular causes and cancer.Even for obese individuals or for people with several coronary heart disease risk factors, physical fitness strongly decreases the chance of developing symptoms of heart disease.The Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute has found that the following types of exercise are most effective in treating people wi...

Food Programming versus Dieting
2007-09-06 11:43:00
I am often amazed at how little understanding people have of the roles played by all three food groups?carbohydrates, proteins, and fats?in the maintenance of physical health. Popular diet books only add to this confusion. Some diet authors advocate an almost total avoidance of carbohydrates and a large intake of protein. Some give readers the idea that all fats are bad. Others downplay the importance of choosing unsaturated fats such as olive oil and soy butter, over saturated fats such as dairy butter and cheese, by including recipes with heavy, creamy sauces in their food plans. You could probably lose weight on any of these diets, since most people eat so inconsistently that almost any routine food program will have a positive effect on the body?s metabolic processes. But no one can stay on an extreme or unbalanced food program for long and expect to remain healthy.The key to maintaining weight loss, eliminating health risks, increasing energy levels, maintaining performance, im...

Find Your Weak Link
2007-09-05 11:04:00
It is not as easy as you think to ascertain your level of fitness because the appearance of health is not always the same as true health. I remember when Frank Warren, then a thirteen-year veteran with the New Orleans Saints, dropped out of football to coach. After a while, Frank decided to get back into the game because he felt that he was better than most of the players he was coaching. When Frank came to me for preseason training, he looked as if he were in decent shape. But the in-depth health evaluation that I recommend for all of my trainees showed that he had developed coronary problems and needed angioplasty. If Frank had stepped onto the playing field without assessing his health profile, there is a strong chance that he would have died on the field.Your career and your passion might be calling to you to put forth your most energetic effort, but no one should ever jump into the stresses of life?s battles without a clear understanding of whether or not there is a weak link ...

Avoid or Decrease Loss of Bone Density and Muscle Mass , Do Exercise
2007-09-04 23:42:00
Most people believe that a significant loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) and bone density is inevitable as one ages, leading to decreased strength, mobility, and flexibility. This is not so. According to a recent article published in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, most age-related changes in muscle and bone can be reversed through an appropriate exercise program incorporating both aerobic and resistance/strength training (working with weights or objects one has to push against).Individuals suffering from sarcopenia and bone loss experience a significant decrease in energy levels and strength. A special issue of Newsweek focusing on longevity reported how a seventy-six-year-old woman, Barbara, was finding it more and more difficult to do simple things such as getting up out of her favorite easy chair. Bending over to make her bed was so painful that she had to get down on her knees to do so. At 140 pounds, Barbara was not overweight, but her fat to lean m...

Eight Steps for Controlling Stress at the Office
2007-09-03 17:20:00
It would be wonderful if all corporations provided their employees with meditation rooms and built mandatory recovery breaks into everyone?s busy schedule. In fact, studies have shown that these kinds of activities actually increase productivity. Since that day is still far in the future, Anna Wise offers eight meditation exercises one can practice in the office to deactivate the stress response and become more relaxed, creative, and balanced during the workday. I have included that list here.Make ample use of one-minute meditations. Obviously, this will be easier if you are working in a private space than if you are sharing an office. These include the following:? Sit in a relaxed posture and breathe deeply, in and out, for one minute.? Focus on relaxing your tongue and jaw for one minute.? Intentionally slow your breathing for one minute.? Sitting comfortably with your eyes gently open, focus your awareness on a spot outside of yourself for one minute.? Sitting comfortably with yo...

Negative Effects of On-the-Job Stress
2007-09-03 16:03:00
For many of us, most of our stress is encountered in the workplace because we spend so much time there. A lot depends on our ability to financially support ourselves and our families and to achieve success in the eyes of the world. Therefore it is important to develop tools for managing on-the-job stress.According to Dean Sunseri, individuals who do not manage their work-related stress have a higher level of absenteeism, decreased work performance, and emotional instability at their jobs. In their personal lives, this inability to manage stress leads to relationship problems, emotional isolation, substance abuse, verbal/physical violence, and increased high-risk behaviors such as alcoholism.A recent study by Drs. Nicole A. Roberts and Robert W. Levenson of U.C. Berkeley, published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, shows that high levels of on-the-job stress seem to play a significant role in marital problems and could potentially lead to divorce if the stress isn?t acknowledged...

Perform Well to Your Last Breath

There is no overtime in life. Therefore it benefits us to perform with as much gusto as we can until our very last breath.In a very real sense, the adversary all of us will eventually face is death. For this reason a question you must ask yourself is, How do I want to die? Do you want to end up living in a nursing home for the last decade of your life because you can no longer take care of yourself? Do you want to spend your final years partially paralyzed by a stroke? Would you look forward to the pain and limited mobility of arthritis or the hassle of having to replace a knee or hip because the joint was just worn out by overuse or abuse? Would you enjoy being extremely overweight and suffering from obesity-related illnesses such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease?Or do you want to enjoy life, playing and working for as many years as possible?I often ask my clients, ?If how you live is determined by how you want to die, what performance strategies must you develop to work and li...

Manage Your Performance to Go the Distance
2007-09-01 20:11:00
One of the keys to delivering maximum performance is being able to manage your energy so that you can go the distance. Every task takes a certain amount of time, and you must maintain enough energy during that time to effectively exercise your skills, talents, judgment, and teamwork long enough so that you can win. Athletes are great role models for energy management. For example, boxers must be able to control their energy expenditures for twelve rounds. It does not matter if you give your opponent the battle of his life for five rounds if you don?t have the stamina to finish the fight. The workplace is no different. To complete a task or a project, you need to be able to go the distance.The competitive challenge in life as in sports is to maintain your own energy levels while pushing your opponent into a state of overuse and overreaching. On the other hand, wise energy management involves being smart enough to never allow others to maneuver you into a position where you are being ...

Reduce Your Fatigue Threshold
2007-08-31 16:46:00
Managing fatigue and reducing your fatigue threshold are essential to maintaining maximum performance. No one can work at peak efficiency when he or she is exhausted all the time. According to Dr. Hans Seyle, a leading stress researcher, we all have an energetic savings account and a checking account. If you consistently overdraw your energetic checking account?your daily energy reserves? through overwork, unmanaged stress, and ignored health warnings, eventually your checking account will empty and you will have to draw on your savings account?the body?s emergency energy reserves.Many years ago Lomas Brown, an NFL player on the offensive line for the Detroit Lions, came to me because he was having problems with his knee joints. Since the NFL is always looking for bigger, stronger, and faster linemen, Lomas?s weight was 310 pounds. When I ran him through our health checks, I discovered that his Body Mass Index and his body fat composition were much too high.At this point, Lomas had ...

In her book The High Performance Mind: Mastering Brainwaves for Insight, Healing, and Creativity, Anna Wise offers some simple exercises to help you become aware of the difference between feeling aroused, ready to fight or to flee, and feeling relaxed and in control of the situation.When a person experiences feelings of worry, excitement, fear, anger, exhilaration, nervousness, panic, increased heart rate, faster breathing, and/or anxiety, the sympathetic nervous system is activated. When a person feels a sense of relaxation, tranquility, calmness, serenity, lightness, centeredness, clarity and/or a feeling of being in control, the parasympathetic system is activated.Wise suggests that you can achieve greater awareness of when you are stressed and when you are relaxed by performing the following exercises and observing your biofeedback?how your body feels.Hyperventilate by breathing heavily for a few seconds.

Reduce Your Health Age to Increase Your Performance Levels

All of us have a chronological age and a health age. One of the hardest tasks we face in the workplace and in life is learning how to manage our health and performance so that the wear and tear of the job doesn?t make us old before our time.We have all seen men and women who slow down and become old before their time, with a health age much greater than their chronological age. The person who burns the candle at both ends might be fifty but looks and feels like he?s seventy.On the other hand, we all know incredibly youthful and energetic individuals who might be fifty, but look, feel, and perform like a thirty-year-old. Their health age?their general level of fitness?is below their chronological age. The factors that determine our health age include body fat percentage, resting heart rate, upper body and lower back strength, metabolic rate (normal thyroid), cholesterol, fasting glucose, and triglyceride levels.

How Not to Get Sick : Proper Nutrition
2007-08-22 11:35:00
The things we eat can have tremendous effects on our health. We can link some foods to causing diseases as well as link foods to helping us fight many diseases. Most people know that too much fat can block arteries, which can lead to a heart attack or a stroke. Most people know that being overweight can lead to diabetes. Most people know that certain processed foods can lead to cancers. Most people know of relatives, friends, or loved ones who developed an illness because of their lifestyle and the foods they eat. You might not have given much thought to proper nutrition. In fact, there are few people who give their bodies the right amount of all the nutrients. We are fortunate that our bodies, a lot of the time, can regulate themselves to get what they need and get rid of the things they do not need. We still, however, have to help our bodies because our bodies can only take this imbalance for so long before we start paying the price of poor nutrition.To incorporate proper nutritio...

Factors behind health behaviours
2007-08-21 09:18:00
Behaviours which are generally assumed to be healthy include physical exercise, a moderate intake of alcohol and fat, and dental hygiene, while unhealthy behaviours are, for example, the use of drugs, sweets, alcohol and tobacco, as well as being under lots of psychological stress. British teenagers considered exercise as the main factor good for their health and dieting the main factor which was bad for their health. By dieting they meant socalled ?junk food? and sweets especially; smoking was also considered bad. Heal th y eating, exercise, and non-smoking were main factors related to health also in other studies conducted in Britain and Finland. Behaviours including tobacco use, a poor diet, physical inactivity and alcohol abuse are actually the biggest cause of death in the USA.It has been suggested that people?s health behaviour is influenced by both individual attributes and the conditions they live under.

Recommendations on healthy eating
2007-08-21 07:31:00
The ?Western? diet contains high energy intake in comparison to low energy expenditure, a high intake of total and saturated fat, cholesterol and salt, and on the other hand, a low intake of carbohydrates and fibre. Finns have quite a high cholesterol level compared with other countries, and one reason for this might be the structure of fat in the food: it contains much saturated fat and cholesterol, but little mono- and polyunsaturated fat.Common elements in the guidelines about a healthy lifestyle and diet include eating a variety of foods; consuming less fat; consuming more vegetables, fruits and grain products; being moderate in use of salt, sugar, and alcohol; increasing physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight. The Nordic countries have set guidelines for the composition of diets and the recommended intake of nutrients.The guidelines give recommendations for the intake of fat, carbohydrates and protein.

7 Ways to Keep Blood Sugar Levels Low
2007-08-17 17:20:00
Australian researcher Dr. Jennie Brand-Miller cites in her new book The Glucose Revolution, that when you eat a carbohydrate ? any sugary or starchy food ? your blood sugar goes up. If it rises slowly, that?s ideal; however, if it soars quickly, this could lead to serious health threats. Researchers at Harvard Medical School have also cited that a spike in blood sugar can double or triple your risk of developing Type 2 (adult onset) diabetes.Dr. Brand-Miller has created a Glycemic Index that ranks foods based on how quickly they raise blood sugar. High-glycemic-index foods make blood sugar jump; lowglycemic- index foods cause a slower rise.Eat health giving legumes with abandon, such as lentils, soybeans, lima and kidney beans, etc., for they promotea gradual blood sugar rise and have a low-glycemic index. Don?t worry about carrots spiking blood sugar. Wide reports that carrots are bad for blood sugar are wrong. Add Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar or fresh lemon juice to foods. Studies sh...
