Why Should You Try A Weight Loss Program

Well the short answer to this question is that a weight loss program and be a literal life saver. They actually

help you to lose weight and keep it off, unlike the typical “go-it-alone” dieter who can lose weight no problem for relatively short periods of time but cannot keep it off. The sad fact about this, far too common, type of dieting is that it confers no health advantage to remaining fat. In some ways it is worse for you especially in the mental health realm. I want to spend the next several paragraphs in this article giving you some helpful advice that will not only leave you looking and feeling better but living longer.

That weight loss programs are important because fat is a killer is becoming more apparent everyday in the medical research fields. There are so many organ systems affected by the different processes that both contribute to obesity and are a direct result of obesity that it will take ages to sort out all the complexities. Obesity is both an associated comorbidity of a lot of things and also a direct cause of many things that are serious and life threatening diseases. Lets talk about a few of the major ones like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

If you aren’t convinced to start a weight loss program read on! Heart disease, caused by coronary atherosclerosis, has several risk factors that are directly related to being obese. High cholesterol and high fat diets contribute to atherosclerotic pathophysiology and are very associated with obesity. Hypertension is another major risk factor for heart disease and is much more common in an obese person. And lastly diabetes, namely type II or adult onset diabetes, is another huge risk factor for heart disease and affects mostly obese people whose bodies have lost the sensitivity to insulin. This combination of events in an obese pt. make obesity a very high-risk, but gladly a modifiable risk factor for early death secondary to heart disease.

Diabetes is already mentioned as being in large part caused by obesity. I just want to list some of the other morbidities that an obese person can look forward to other than heart disease. Diabetics who don’t control their sugars have renal failure and eventually are dialysis dependent. They go blind due to retinal vascular complications, they have painful neuropathies, or they simply can’t feel their legs which eventually ulcerate and require amputation. A weight loss program sounds nice now doesn’t it?

Obesity Enemy Of The Heart

According to the American Heart Association (PCA), one third of children and adolescents and 66 percent

of the adult population is overweight or obese. If the trend continues, there will be a reduction in life expectancy of our children, making it the first generation to live less than their parents.

Obesity in simple form is an excess of body fat. The body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference measures are most commonly used. The BMI is the ratio of weight in kilograms to height in meters measure. The normal BMI is between 18 and 24.9 kg/m2. Overweight is any measure between 25-29.9 kg/m2, and obesity a BMI greater than or equal to 30 kg/m2. The waist circumference should be

It is difficult to associate obesity a factor, as it develops a complex relationship that involves lifestyle, the environment and genetics. However, there is a causal relationship between poor nutrition and unhealthy lifestyles. The sedentary lifestyle, produced by busy lifestyles, overexposure to television, computers and video games, along with the excessive consumption of calories, breaks the balance needed to maintain a healthy weight.

Education is extremely important, particularly since early age, to establish good eating habits and healthy lifestyles.

To bring the message and awareness generation of young people about the importance of prevention, the American Heart Association created the Alliance for a Healthier Generation in conjunction with the foundation of former President William Bill Clinton.

On the Island, the association established partnership with the Government of Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rico Form.This government initiative and whose guidelines are based on those of the Heart Association, offers a real alternative for the prevention of obesity through education and offering physical activity programs, among other things.

Obesity, together with other factors such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipedemias and smoking is a risk factor crucial to the development of cardiovascular diseases. However, contrary to other factors, obesity (next to smoking), is the most changeable of all.

By developing or modifying good nutritional habits and increasing physical activity can have a healthier life

What You Should Do To Cure Obesity

In the United States alone, obesity has become an unstoppable epidemic. Hundreds of thousands of

Americans die every year because of obesity. Don’t become another statistic!

Warning: What you are about to read may offend some people, but it needs to be said.

Many people suffer from being overweight. It may result from a stocky build, slow metabolism, or some other physical reason, but it is a fact of life for many people. They will probably struggle with it their entire lives.

However, obesity is different. A very miniscule percentage of obese people have medical reasons for their condition. The rest of them just cannot stop shoveling the food in long enough to see the consequences of their actions.

Have you been in a restaurant or at a party and watched an obviously obese person shoveling in the food and drinking a soda? Do they think the diet soda will make all that fat and calories go away? It doesn’t work that way.

The following are the beginning steps of a very long and bumpy road to recovery. However, if you want to rid yourself of obesity once and for all, you may want to immediately put the suggestions below into action before it is too late:

- Stop eating fatty foods! Potato chips, french fries, soda… you name it! Before you can recover from your problem, you have to admit that you have one. And those fatty foods are indeed a big problem. If you feel that you absolutely must eat something, get some fresh fruit or vegetables. They not only contain the essential nutrients that your body needs for good health, but some will actually burn more calories that they replace.

- Check up with your doctor. If you are more than 50 pounds overweight, only a fool would recommend any diet plan until you are medically cleared by your physician. Your doctor can also advise you on the best programs to help you get started. This cannot be emphasized enough. Once you have eliminated the fattening foods, see your doctor before going one step farther.

- In the worst case scenario, consider seeking a counselor. Is there a deep seated, subconscious reason for your eating disorder or are you just a pig? The answers may surprise you. Once you discover the reasons for your self destructive behavior, you will be better equipped to handle them. If you cannot afford counseling, talk to a trusted friend or, if you are a religious person, perhaps someone at your church. They may not be able to diagnose your problem, but they can be there for you when you encounter those bumps in the road to recovery.

In conclusion, fighting obesity is just a matter of effective prevention and discipline. It is about forming a new, healthier habit. Would you rather live the rest of your life tired, unhappy and fat? Or do you think it is time to get your act together and start eating healthy? You decide!

Obesity An American Epidemic A Worldwide Concern

If you are considered overweight, whether you know it or not, you are in the majority. In America, it has

been recently estimated that 65% of the population is overweight with 30% being at least clinically obese. To add to this alarming statistic is the estimate that 15-20% of the nation’s children are overweight. Now, obesity is beginning to spread more and more to countries that have always had a relatively low rate of obesity, like China and Japan. This is one case where being in the majority is not considered a good thing. What really matters is, how being overweight or obese affects your overall health.

According to the body mass index, you are considered overweight if your index is between 25 and 29. If your index is over 30, you are considered obese. The American collage of sports medicine defines obesity as an amount of body fat that increases the risk of disease. As a general rule, more than 25% body fat for men and more than 32% body fat for women is considered obesity.

Let’s look at some of the most likely reasons that so many people are obese.

1: overeating

2: lack of exercise

3: genetic predisposition

4: psychological problems

5: too slow a metabolism

These are some of the things scientists are investigating as to the likely causes for obesity. Most of these can be overcome by lowering the fat in the diet and by exercising.

Regardless of the reasons for overweight and obesity, there is health risks associated with these conditions. According to the U.S.Surgeon’s report:

A bodyweight of more than 20% over ideal constitutes a definite health hazard.

Obesity is associated with a reduced life expectancy.

Risk factors for heart disease such as high cholesterol increase.

Obesity increases stress on the body joints.

Obesity increases the risk of surgery.

The presence of diabetes is nearly 3 times higher in overweight people.

According to the experts, all of these risk factors can be improved by a reduction in weight. Some have estimated that a weight loss of 10% can improve the risk factors for heart disease by 20%. Also, the greatest health benefits are reported to occur with the first 20 pounds of weight loss, which means that even if it seems to be hard to lose weight, it is still worth doing it. If you don’t lose all of the weight you want to lose, you can still improve your risk factors by losing some of the weight.

You can make losing weight a little easier if you just set a small goal at first, then when you reach that goal, set another small goal and aim for that. A good target is to try to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. It is within reason to try to lose 10% of your current bodyweight, or 20 pounds in about six months if you are overweight.

Acomplia Augments The Age Old Theory Of Obesity Reduction

Obesity as such is defined as a disease by the medical community. Though there are certain theories on what

causes obesity there has been no concrete proof of it. Thus the theories related to the obesity are vague in nature. To move out of obesity there can be no better method than the age old theory of controlled dieting and physical exercises. But the process is time consuming so many a people leave it for the sake of other options like diet pills, fat burning pills, surgery, liposuction, acupressure and acupuncture.

Eating habits, lack of exercises, general lethargy and heredity are considered to be some the important factors which contribute to form fat inside your body. Fat burning pills are for short term use only and if you discontinue it the fats come up again. Surgery and liposuction are costly plus the effects of it are limited. With acupressure and acupuncture the results have not been up to the mark. So, the best option left is the combination of diet pill with restricted diet program and physical exercises.

And the latest weight loss diet pill is Acomplia (Rimonabant). It has been developed by Sanofi-Aventis. It is does not make one loose weight rather it makes him to have a low appetite. And as appetite gets lower his food intake too lowers. Acomplia is a new kind of drug named CB1 blocker. It blocks CB1 receptors in the brain and in near by organs which are important for lipid and glucose metabolism, adipose tissue, gastrointestinal tract, and the liver. CB1 receptor plays a vital role in regulating body weight and controlling energy balance.

Acomplia (Rimonabant) is now available for sale in the UK and EU but it is not available for sale in US as it has not been approved by FDA. Though the manufacturer of Acomplia (Rimonabant) instruct of taking a pill a day, the instruction of a doctor should be followed in case of its medication. Pregnant women, breast feeding women and children should avoid this medicine unless prescribed by the doctor. An individual with a history of blood pressure, heart disease, lung disease, asthma, diabetes or allergy must tell his medical history to the doctor.

Acomplia has mild and short-term side effects like – nausea, dizziness, depression and irritability. As the drug is new other side effect too may come up. In case of side effects one should consult his or her doctor. He is the right person to advice you in that regard.

No medicine has been useful in treating a disease unless instructions are followed. That applies in case of Acomplia too. It is only the exercises and restricted diet which will guide you to a bright and healthy future. Acomplia is only for fastening the pace of the weight loss.

Fighting Childhood Obesity...

It is a fact that people are generally getting fatter in many western societies. This is reflected in the popularity

of diet books and fitness equipment. But while most of us realize it would be good to lose a bit of weight, we are only vaguely aware of the staggering levels of “obesity” in our societies. We are even less aware of the impact this is having on our children, and the widespread existence of childhood obesity.

**What is Obesity?**

Generally speaking, a person is considered “obese” when the amount of fat stored in his body endangers his health. Here are some recent OECD statistics that show just how widespread the problem of obesity is:

Percentage of Population (over 15 years of age) who are obese

U.S.A. – 30.6%

Mexico – 24.2%

U.K. – 22.4%

Australia – 21.7%

New Zealand – 17%

Canada – 14.9%

Germany – 12.9%

France – 9.4%

In other words, almost 1 in 3 Americans and roughly 1 in 5 Australians are so grossly overweight as to have health problems because of it.

**Causes of Obesity**

As individuals we have a tendency to rationalise our inclination to be overweight or obese. We often blame such things as heredity, or glandular imbalance, and while these things often do make a difference, the primary cause for most obesity is quite simple. A person gains weight when he or she consumes more calories than they burn.

In other words, there are two important factors involved — diet and activity level. And it seems pretty obvious that in countries with a high obesity level, both things are taking a hit. Western diets are oozing with more fat and sugar than ever before, while people are generally becoming more sedentary and getting less physical exercise — sitting in front of computers all day, and in front of the TV all night.

**Consequences of an Obese Lifestyle**

Obesity has overtaken infectious diseases as the most significant contributor to ill health worldwide.

Illness such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, obstructive sleep apnea, asthma, heart disease, stroke, back and lower extremity weight-bearing degenerative problems, certain types of cancer, and depression, have been attributed to obesity.

In fact, it has been estimated that roughly 500,000 deaths now occur annually due to poor diet and physical inactivity. If this trend towards obesity is not reversed in the next few years, it will likely overtake tobacco as the leading preventable cause of death.

Even more troubling, when adults adopt an obese lifestyle, they are more likely to pass their eating and activity habits along to their children. This has given rise to a dramatic increase in obesity in children.

**Obesity in children**

Obesity in children has become commonplace in many countries. For instance, it is estimated that obesity in children and adults in the US has increased by more than 30% over the past 10 years alone.

The reasons are obvious. Children are subjected to the obese lifestyle from all sides. Many families have substituted high fat, high sugar junk food and soft drinks for regular well-balanced meals. Or they have simply stopped preparing meals in the home — the proportion of foods that children consumed from restaurants and fast food outlets increased by nearly 300% between 1977 and 1996.

Children are also the targets of a constant barrage of advertising that promotes highly processed junk food. And in many cases the normal physical activity that has been a part of childhood for many generations has been restricted by concerns for safety, or completely replaced by sedentary activities like playing video games or watching TV.

**Consequences of childhood obesity**

Obesity is never a good thing. But obesity in children is especially bad. Once fat cells are created in the body they cannot be gotten rid of by normal dieting or increased physical activity. So an obese child normally carries their obesity through into adulthood.

On the other hand, if a child learns good habits for diet and exercise as children, they will very likely carry these habits and this knowledge into adulthood as well.

**What Can be Done about Childhood Obesity?**

It is up to parents and other adults to teach responsible alternatives to the obese lifestyle. Parents must first become aware of the problems with their own personal and family eating habits and activity levels, and then they must make adjustments that will have a positive lifelong impact on their children.

One effective way is to adopt the “AKA” approach — AWARENESS of the problem. KNOWLEDGE of what to do about it, and ACTION designed to bring about lifestyle changes. Children have an innate thirst for knowledge, a deep desire to improve their self-image, and will love the attention you give them as you develop a plan for a more healthy lifestyle for your entire family.

Childhood Obesity

Childhood obesity, what was once shocking and disturbing has now become a fact of life, as adult obesity

increased childhood obesity is growing and rapidly increasing. With bad eating habits and fatty diet and some hereditary influence some kids are doomed to battle childhood obesity late into their twenties, childhood obesity has become a wide spread phenomena and the risks involved in childhood obesity are becoming clearer with time.

The numbers present a sad reality, one of five children is considered overweight, and this tendency only increases with time, childhood obesity is increasing in different ethnic groups, in both genders and all across the world, North America and Western Europe are leading the charts in regards to childhood obesity, but other regions of the world are not to far behind.

Some expert claim that if something is not done to stop childhood obesity immediately we will witness a whole generation becoming twice as heavy as its parents and grandparents were, with this gain of weight other health risks are becoming more and more evident and have a huge effect on larger groups.

It is clear that we have an epidemic of obesity in our country, and that, as we get used to seeing more overweight people at work, in school and on the streets, we are accepting this condition as reality, rather than working to change the situation.

For this increase in childhood obesity we can blame our way of life first, the car has replaced a lot of walking which was very important for our hearts and muscle mass, most of us spend most of our free time in front of the television or the computer, and most of the time we are in front of these appliances we also indulge in eating fatty food such as pizza and ice cream. Junk food has become an acceptable meal, what was once considered a last option for children meal has become the default in choosing our kids meals.

Lets consider the dangers of obesity, and bare in mind that we usually think of adults when we talk about these risks, which makes this even worst. Too little exercise.

And too much of the wrong kind of food is associated with Type II diabetes, all sorts of heart disease and blood pressure problems, joint problems related to weight bearing, self esteem and confidence issues, high cholesterol, mental problems such as depression and sleep disruption, unstable mental stamina, pulmonary problems. The research in this field points to one clear fact, if you are obese as a child you start a far higher chance to be an obese adult, so childhood obesity is not some childhood problematic phase that goes away after some time, childhood obesity can lead to a very problematic adulthood.

What can be done to prevent childhood obesity and how can we stop this dangerous tendency? First thing we could do right away is to stop using our cars so much and walk a little more, any kind of physical exercise is good for young children, we are not talking about gym and pushups, even an enjoyable basketball game, 45 minutes three times a week can do wonders, and the great thing about kids is that they enjoy playing – they sometimes just need a little encouragement to get them going. This alone can start you off in your battle against childhood obesity. Take childhood obesity seriously, it is not something that will go away, exercise and healthy eating are vital for a young body to develop well and to enjoy longevity and healthy life. Good luck fighting – and beating childhood obesity.

Overweight and sleep

Overweight and sleepI received a lot of questions inquiring about the relationship between sleep weight gain, and whether lack of

sleep leads to weight gain.

Has shown more than a previous study that lack of sleep may be one of the causes leading to obesity, as we know that a lot of people do not get enough hours of sleep because of the pressures of life and modern civilization. The study showed more than a local as well as the rate of obesity in our country has been steadily increasing in recent years because of a lot of changes in the habits of society as a change eating habits and lack of physical effort, but you can have a lack of sleep one of these changes as well? It is well known that obesity is a major cause of various health problems; therefore is a follow-up to their causes and try reduceof the most important priorities of the various health agencies. It seems one of the few studies conducted in our society that there is a shortage in the number of hours of sleep in a lot of people because usually ensure that became common in the community. It seems that the lack of sleep has negative effects on health in general. Has published research in the last month, a group of researchers from the University of London on a sample consisted of more than 17,000 university students aged between 17 and 30 years old in 24 countries to 63 percent slept 7 to 8 hours per day, and 21 percent slept less than 6 hours, and 16 percent slept more than 8 hours. Health problems were generally more at who slept less than 6 hours. So it seems that there is an association between sleep duration and health in general, and the health of these things link to the short duration of sleep weight gain.Sleep and ObesityAs I mentioned earlier, several studies have shown a correlation relationship between obesity and lack of sleep hours. A study conducted on about 100 people in the United States and published their findings in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine and a correlation between lack of sleep and weight gain. Recently, as well as studies have shown a relationship between sleep and two of the most important hormones that control appetite and eating. These two hormones are leptin (Leptin) and Garilin (Ghrelin). The first increase in the hormone leads to a lack of appetite, increased second hormone leads to hunger or increased appetite and eating. And a lack of sleep leads to a lack of the hormone leptin, which causes satiety and increase Algarilin hormone that causes hunger. That lack of sleep physiology may lead to weight gain due to increased appetite. The results of the field research on high school students in one of the U.S. states and published in the Journal of sleep and breathe this month, found that 90 percent of secondary students sleep less than eight hours a day and 19 percent slept less than 6 hours a day. It also emerged from the survey that 20 percent of secondary school students are overweight according to international standards. The results of the study concluded that there is a strong correlation between a lot of drinking coffee and reduction in the number of hours of sleep on the one hand and increase the weight on the other hand. The researchers found that the likelihood of obesity when students who sleep less than five hours per day was 8.5 times more likely to gain weight when students who slept more than 8 hours. While other possibilities were 2.8 times for those who slept 5 to 7 and 1.3 hours for those who sleep 7 to 8 hours. There may be other reasons linking lack of sleep overweight, for example, that those who stayed up usually are kind of passive and who stayed up to watch TV or to perform the work of my office, and this kind of activity is accompanied usually by eating, usually eating unhealthy content on high-calorie , that ultimately leads to weight gain.What I can say in this context that there is a definite between lack of sleep and weight gain, and there are several theories trying to explain this relationship, and scientific research is still ongoing to determine the causes of this relationship, but even the reach of science to the main reason for the relationship lack of sleep overweight say: If you want ideal Vahsaloa on weights perfect sleep
