Research Study - Essential Oils for Depression
2009-02-16 07:57:00
A recently published study indicates that a blend of citrus oils can, indeed, have anti-depressant effects. The goal of the study was an attempt to restore the mental health of humans by stimulation of the olfactory system. A citrus blend was created using a blend of Lemon, Orange and Bergamot Essential Oils with cis-4-Hexenol (a synthetic fragrance and flavoring chemical with a powerful green top note.) [Why the researchers had to use a synthetic in that mix I have no idea, it makes the results a lot more questionable, although if all they wanted to do was 'stimulate the olfactory nerve' I guess it doesn't matter!]   A group subjects, all inpatients receiving medications for depression, were selected and the group divided in half. The first group received their anti-depressant meds alone, the second were exposed to the fragrance continuously while having their meds reduced weekly until their depression remitted (within four to eleven weeks.) At the end of eleven weeks, all ...

How To Eliminate Weight Loss Failure By Lifting Weights: The Secret Everyon

How To Eliminate Weight Loss Failure By Lifting Weights: The Secret Everyone Ignores was written by Nathan Latvitis from weight-loss-resources.comMany times, when one begins a new fat loss regime; they focus on dieting (hopefully intelligent dieting, not fad diets or very low calorie diets) and hopefully an exercise regime. Most of the time, to accomplish fat loss, people seem to believe that aerobic (aka. cardio) training in addition to a moderate reduction in calories is the best course of action to accomplish this. The main goal is to create a caloric deficit through these methods so that the body must use fat stores to make up for the deficit, therefore accomplishing fat loss. However, many times people run into a plateau that is caused by the lowering of the metabolism due to muscle loss because of the new diet and exercise regime. This lowering of the metabolism is known as the starvation response. You've experienced this if you've ever tried to lose fat before and eventuall...

Diet Fads Come And Go was written by Tracie Johanson from letspickupthepace.comCursed by dieters everywhere, and loved by children around the world, sugar is one those substances we 'love to hate' and 'hate to love'! It can make bland foods tasty and can make the dentist rich. Americans love sugar in all forms, from pure white granulated to liquid to fluffy cotton candy. As a nation, it's fair to say that we've developed a love affair with sugar!But at what cost? Our ever-expanding waistlines are due, in part, to our sugar infatuation. Many of us try to eat healthier, only to be pushed into consuming even more sugar! Take for example the low-fat craze of the 1980's and '90's, pushed by the federal government's proclomation that FAT IS BAD. As soon as Americans started demanding low-fat products, the food manufacturers responded by flooding the market with low-fat, high-sugar foods.....and we loved it.

What To Expect After Liposuction Surgery
2009-01-23 08:07:00
What To Expect After Liposuction Surgery was written by Seth Miller from e-liposuction.comAfter the successful surgery, a patient should expect some drainage from the doctor?s incisions. In most cases the drainage is minimal but may last for several days. If the physician suspects the wounds will have excess drainage, he or she may insert a drainage tube or bag to collect any excess fluids and minimize discomfort. The patient will also need to wear special garments, called compression garments, that keep the treated area compressed and tight while in recovery. Most patients will need to wear the garments for several weeks after liposuction. Many surgeons include the garments in the total price of the procedure, otherwise the doctor should inform the patient of the type of garment and where to purchase it.Swelling, bruising, and pain are common complaints in the recovery phase after liposuction. Although these are common, in most liposuction surgeries, patients should not experience ...
