The Benefits of Pregnancy Yoga

2010-02-22T09:34:00.000-08:00

Today it is well known that the human body undergoes a substantial change during pregnancy. The psychological state likewise changes and the person may experience various temperamental transitions that can mold not merely the mother but in addition the baby. Owing to the raising popularity of yoga, expectant women may have heard of the advantages pregnancy yoga can have on the physical and psychic. More important is that in addition to the physical care, pregnancy yoga is a means to interact with different women in the same situation who are able to understand better than anyone else what they are working through.

This is why pregnancy yoga sets out with physical exercises that are about improving intensity and flexibility of muscles and tissues, promoting the circulation of oxygen and blood, respiring more deliberately, and centering attention inward through imagery. The’re particular positions for exact problems pregnant women experience, like lower spinal agony, sciatica, or improper force on the spine due to bad posture.
Frequent involvement in a pregnancy yoga class during pregnancy could reduce labor-associated anxiousness. The most fundamental matter is locating a session that can accommodate to every person’s needs through the employment itself and the instructor. The tutor is a fundamental factor in a pregnancy yoga class and it ought to be an individual women feel relaxed with sharing any problems they may go through.
Learning to use instruments of meditation and mental imagery serves to open up on a physical, spiritual and emotional level. This’ll serve ladies in the late part of labor, when they are very close to the point of birth and their body starts to respond to that. Working out distinct muscles like those on the pelvic floor is likewise a part of pregnancy yoga classes. Working these muscle groups will better prepare pregnant women to face the labor process, ensuring it is easier and less trying.
Through pregnancy yoga, any of the future mothers will be able to distinguish when they are entertaining overmuch stress in their body because tension could lead to respiration issues and nervousness. There are poses combined with breathing in a relaxing manner that can help overcome these problems or even avoid them entirely. Women that are looking for a normal birth are able to discover more on the posture of the body throughout muscular contractions and are able to adapt more simply with this when it happens. Many yoga poses can translate marvelously into comfortable laboring postures.

Just be happy, and you will healthy

2010-02-22T03:15:00.000-08:00

Happiness that we felt was not only the aura radiates from the face, but also a healthy body. Study of 9981 in Australians shows, people that healthy and happy with his life less frequently exposed to the disease. A study published in The American Journal of Health Promotion is to compare levels of happiness and satisfaction of the respondents provided in 2001 with their health status in 2004. To measure levels of happiness, the respondents are given a question, like "In the last week did you feel happy?" or "When all things considered, how satisfied you are with your life?"
Three years later, the health level of the respondents was measured in three ways. First, they were asked how their health condition, then they asked whether experience health problems. Finally, they asked whether the 17 types of disease have mentioned, such as back pain or eye problems.

As many as 63 percent of respondents said they always felt happy. Meanwhile, 90 percent admitted satisfied with his life. The people from that group was more healthy. In other words, if you're currently satisfied and happy with life, then in the next three years you will most likely healthy. A different study conducted in the United States against the nuns also showed no different results. The nun who claimed to be happy and have hope and love of his life was more longevity. The experts say, happiness, as well as economic status, should be included as an indicator of health.
So, don't be sad... just relax and be happy. :)

Heart attack is life-threatening event. Need to know the basic things so that you can help to sudden causes. Information should be there so that it can allow us to make the right decisions for the treatment of sudden, when it appears. If we have is preliminary information on how to be a valuable contribution to our loved ones and us.

The heart attack occurs when the supply of blood and oxygen to the blocked heart muscle, particularly clots in coronary arteries. Due to the blockage of blood and oxygen leads to an irregular heartbeat, which causes significant reduction in pumping of the heart and can lead to sudden death. This is at an early stage and should be treated within a few hours; the heart muscles are affected and are replaced by scar tissue. We need to know the caution signs of the disease and to obtain emergency assistance in time of need. Some people die because they have to get immediate assistance due to permanent heart damage.

If the main support is given early permanent heart damage, which is blocked artery can be restored in time to avoid it. Nevertheless, many of them get the care within hours of starting symptoms and die. But prompt treatment can prevent or treat his sudden death.

It is a disease that is caused by men and women. If a person already suffering from ischemic heart disease and underwent bypass surgery is the risk of having the disease. Men who are over 45 and women who are more than 55 are exposed to it. If a hereditary it background, which is one of his family members with this disease.
So it is very important that these factors should be checked before they appear. So should have control over smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, overweight and obesity, physical inactivity, and diabetes can also visit our health care providers to ask to reduce the risk of having a heart attack.

Eat Heathily During Breastfeeding

2010-02-21T06:27:00.000-08:00

It’s important to eat healthily when you need the energy to look after your baby and while breastfeeding, your baby receives the benefits, too.
Keep up your intake

Breastfeeding gives your baby all the food and drink she needs until you introduce her to solids and by eating healthily yourself you can make sure she gets all the nutrients she needs. Breastfeeding can make you hungrier and thirstier than usual as your body needs extra energy to produce milk. On average you’ll need about an extra 300-400 calories a day while breastfeeding. While you’re feeding, keep a glass of water, milk or diluted fruit juice nearby as you’re likely to feel thirsty. Keep cups of coffee, tea and cola to a minimum as their caffeine content can be passed on during breastfeeding. You’ll also be more prone to constipation during breastfeeding, so drink plenty of fluids to help prevent this.

Eating Safely

It is now safe for you to eat foods such as soft cheeses, pates and liver which were banned while you were pregnant. But you should still avoid any foods which carry a higher risk of toxoplasmosis, such as raw or undercooked meat and unwashed fruit and vegetables, although these pose no risk to your breastfeeding baby. Good hygiene in the kitchen is essential to keep you, and therefore your baby, healthy - your milk flow can be affected if you are struck down with food poisoning. Always wash your hands before and after preparing foods and store raw and cooked meats separately.

Some foods you eat can upset your baby. Common culprits include:
* Caffeine Found in cola, tea and coffee, too much can make your baby irritable. Try decaffeinated alternatives or restrict your intake to three cups a day.

* Alcohol One or two units a day (not more than 14 units a week) won’t affect your baby, but any more than this may make her irritable. One unit is a small glass wine, a pub measure of spirits or half a pint of beer.

* Chocolate, garlic and ginger These may irritate your baby and may contribute to colic.

* Cauliflower, Brussel sprouts and Cabbage These may also irritate your baby and may cause colic.

* Peanuts Allergies to peanuts are increasing in children and, in rare cases, can be life-threatening. You can lower your baby’s risk of developing a peanut allergy by avoiding peanuts while pregnant and breastfeeding and not giving her peanuts or peanut products until she is three.

Good foods for breastfeeding

For a healthy diet you need to eat a good variety of foods.

* Starchy foods These include bread, cereals, potatoes, rice, pasta, noodles, and grains such as oats and barley. They’re good for breastfeeding as they give you energy and contain fibre to help prevent constipation. You should try to have starchy foods at every meal and aim to have at least four servings a day. One serving would include one or two slices of toast, a portion of spaghetti or a bowl of cereal.

A good breakfast while you’re breastfeeding is a bowl of iron-enriched cereal and a glass of fresh orange juice (to encourage iron absorption) as your iron levels may be a little low after pregnancy.

* Milk and dairy foods These include milk, cheese, yoghurt and fromage frais. Dairy foods are important because if you don’t eat enough it’s difficult to meet your body’s need for calcium. The Department of Health recommends that if you are breastfeeding you have an extra 550mg of calcium a day, equivalent to about 568ml (one pint) of full cream, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk. You should try to have at least five servings a day. Milk on cereal, a small pot of yoghurt or a small piece of cheese each count as one serving.

* Fruit and vegetables These contain essential vitamins and minerals to keep you healthy and fibre to prevent constipation. Try to eat at least five servings each day (fresh, frozen and canned varieties), including one which is a good source of vitamin C, such as citrus fruit or a dark green leafy vegetable. Steaming or stir-frying vegetables helps to retain their vitamin content. A single serving could be a piece of fruit, a portion of vegetables or a glass of unsweetened fruit juice.
* Protein-rich foods This group includes meat, fish, eggs, beans (including baked beans), lentils, nuts and seeds. Vegetarians can boost levels of vitamin B12 by eating yeast extract. Aim to eat two servings a day. A serving would be a handful or nuts or seeds or a portion of meat or fish.

‘I had to keep up my energy’

Tina Gough, mum to Ella, 3 and Tom, 6 months.

‘When I was first breastfeeding Tom I got very thirsty, so I always had a glass of apple juice or mineral water handy. I don’t drink much tea or coffee, but if I do have a coffee I make it quite milky. I’m vegetarian so I already have a high intake of dairy products and don’t feel I need more. Now Tom’s older, I have a glass of wine most evenings and it doesn’t bother him.’

Surprising pregnancy symptoms

2010-02-21T06:25:00.000-08:00

We prepare you for some of the stranger things that could happen to your body over the next nine months… You may not experience any, but it pays to be prepared!

Morning sickness and a craving for ice cream you were expecting – but leaky breasts and dribbling? Here are some of pregnancy’s more surprising symptoms, what they mean – and what you can do about them.

1. You’ve got a weird taste in your mouth

Does your mouth taste like you’ve been sucking on pennies? Then you’re experiencing what’s known as dysgeusia. It’s sometimes one of the first signs of being pregnant and is due to hormonal changes and can also be linked to a change in your sense of smell (which can become heightened). Luckily, it usually improves or disappears in the second trimester.

Try eating or drinking sour things like citrus juices or pickled foods to break through the metallic taste.

2. You have a brown line running down your middle

From the second trimester onwards (week 13), you may discover that a thin dark line known as the linea negra has appeared down your bump.

It’s caused by higher levels of the hormone melatonin, which is in turn due to higher levels of the female hormone estrogen.

According to midwife and P&b expert Denise Tiran, ‘This line follows the seam that developed down your body when you were in the womb yourself.’

You’ll probably find the line fades or disappears soon after birth, but if it remains, think of it as a mark of motherhood.

3. Your feet have grown

Sometimes, it’s not just your waistline that gets bigger, your feet can grow too – thanks to fluid retention in your ankles and feet.

‘This is usually nothing to worry about, so long as the swelling is not accompanied by high blood pressure – in which case it needs checking by your midwife, in case you have developed pre-eclampsia’, says Denise.

* Avoid standing for long periods, make sure you put your feet up at the end of the day and stick to wearing comfortable flats.

4. Your breasts leak

Finding a wet patch on your bra might be expected if you’re breastfeeding, but if you’re still only seven months pregnant, it can be a bit of a shock to discover that your boobs are leaking. Rest assured though, it’s more common that you might think and is due to your breast preparing for birth.

‘They are making colostrum (the yellowish, antibody-rich pre-milk you produce until a few days after birth), to clear all the milk ducts ready for breastfeeding,' explains Denise.

* Buy a box of breastpads and keep some handy in your bag for any awkward moments.

5. You’re having strange dreams

Just dreamt you gave birth to a fish or were being chased down the street by a giant baby? Weird dreams are more common in pregnancy, thanks to pregnancy hormones – plus, even if you don’t realise it, you are more anxious than usual and there are a lot of things for your brain to process.

'Your sleep is also interrupted and you wake up more during the night so you remember your dreams more,' adds Denise.

6. Your mouth is full of saliva

Don’t be too freaked out if you wake up and find a pool of dribble on your pillow. One unusual symptom of pregnancy is excess saliva production – known as pytalism.

It’s more common in the early months of pregnancy, especially if you’re experiencing nausea and vomiting, and you may find you produce so much you need to keep spitting it out (lovely!).

But don’t worry – it’s temporary and usually settles down as your pregnancy progresses to the second trimester.

* Try drinking water with lemon in it and sucking on sweets to help you swallow.

7. You can’t remember anything

Keep losing your car keys and can’t recall your best friend’s name? You may be experiencing gestational memory impairment – memory problems specific to pregnancy. Some experts say it doesn’t exist, but others disagree and believe up to 80 per cent of pregnant women are affected.
The biological cause isn’t proven, but one theory is that pregnancy hormones affect the area of the brain that governs memory, spatial learning and awareness and navigation – thus prompting your forgetfulness. The effects disappear after birth when hormone levels revert to normal.

* Make lists, write down appointments down in your diary and put things you need on an everyday basis in one easy-to-remember place, so you’re not constantly hunting some lost object

8. Your eyesight changes

If experience fluid retention in pregnancy, the shape of your eyeball might alter with the result that – if you wear contacts – your lenses might feel painful or even stop fitting properly.

‘This is usually temporary,’ says Denise. ‘You may need to limit the time you wear lenses or go back to wearing glasses for a while.’

* See your optician for advice – he or she may suggest switching to disposable lenses so you can change the prescription throughout your pregnancy without breaking the bank.

9. You have more discharge than usual

One bonus of pregnancy is not having periods for nine months, but you may notice more vaginal discharge than usual, particularly in the second trimester. One theory is that it’s your body’s way of protecting your vagina from infection – the discharge is acidic and acts as a barrier to infection.

Don’t worry unless it’s itchy, painful or has a slightly fishy smell – in which case, check with your midwife or GP as it’s possible you have an infection such as thrush (a yeast infection) or bacterial vaginosis (an overgrowth of naturally occurring bacteria).
* Wear a pantyliner, but make sure you also stick to cotton underwear and avoid scented bath products and tight trousers to minimise your risk of developing thrush.

10. You’re a bit partial to charcoal

OK, so we joke. But while in very rare instances pregnant women have been known to have bizarre cravings, called pica, for non-food substances like coal, charcoal or the smell of petrol or rubber (which should not be indulged!), you may find you lust after certain foods.

Often this your body craving the things it’s lacking - so if you’re craving oranges you could have a vitamin C deficiency or if only red meat will do, you may be short of iron.

Unfortunately, cravings are no excuse for pigging out. ‘Some food cravings are genuine, but you shouldn’t give in to constant cravings for ice cream, cakes or chocolate as they have little nutritional benefit to you or your baby,’ says Denise.
* Go with cravings for healthy foods but don’t give in to high-fat and sugary food cravings – they’re empty calories with minimal vitamins and minerals.

The truth about morning sickness

2010-02-21T04:26:00.000-08:00

It affects nearly three quarters of us – and not just before midday! But what really causes morning sickness, and what can you do to help?

After trying for a baby for 14 months, Naomi Hurley, 31, from Lincoln, was thrilled to be pregnant. But her enthusiasm waned when, at five weeks, she began to suffer from morning sickness. ‘Although whoever came up with that name should be shot – it’s 24/7,’ she complains.
Naomi, now 12 weeks pregnant, is one of the 45% of mums-to-be who experience both nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. Another 25% suffer from nausea alone.

‘I’m physically sick three or four times a day, and constantly nauseous,’ says Naomi. ‘I had to tell my work colleagues that I was pregnant at seven weeks, because I kept rushing to the loo.

I asked my midwife about it, but she just told me it was normal and would ease around the end of the first trimester. I’m praying it stops soon, so I can start to enjoy my pregnancy.’

What causes morning sickness?
Morning sickness is a misleading term, as nausea and vomiting can occur at any time of the day. Of all the mums-to-be who suffer, eighty-five per cent have two episodes a day, and 55 per cent have three or more. But frustratingly, no-one knows exactly what causes it.
‘The most likely theory is that it’s related to the pregnancy hormone beta-HCG,’ explains Anne Deans, obstetrician and M&B expert. ‘Sickness tends to be worst in the early weeks of pregnancy, when this hormone is increasing most rapidly.’
It’s unclear why beta-HCG causes sickness, although some scientists believe it may lower your blood sugar, making you feel nauseous. ‘Often, when I test a pregnant woman’s blood sugar, I’m surprised by how low it is,’ confirms Anne. ‘Certainly, many women find that eating little and often – which keeps blood sugar stable – helps stave off nausea.’
Other theories, however, are less reliable. Some studies have suggested that sickness is nature’s way of stopping women eating anything potentially harmful in the first trimester – a crucial time for fetal development.

Others report that eating less in the early weeks makes the placenta work more efficiently. But Anne Deans is sceptical. ‘A lot of the research is spurious,’ she says. ‘The truth is, no-one really knows what causes it.’

So will I get it?

Scientists have looked at whether factors like age, marital status, ethnic origin and pre-pregnancy weight make you more likely to suffer from morning sickness. But no definite link has been found in any of these cases.
‘Some studies have suggested that young mums-to-be and older women are more affected, but it’s more likely that these women just find it harder to cope with,’ says Anne. ‘If you’re very young and don’t have a good support network, or are an older career woman working long hours, sickness can come as a shock.’
What is known, however, is that women expecting twins or triplets suffer more. ‘They have higher levels of hormones in their bodies, and often feel sicker than other mums,’ agrees Anne.
So, if you’re expecting twins, you could be in for a rough ride. But what if there’s just one in there? Can you predict whether you’ll be affected? Although there’s no definite way of telling, Anne has noticed certain indicators.
‘Women who feel sick on the Pill are often sick in pregnancy, which backs the theory that morning sickness is caused by sensitivity to hormones,’ she says. ‘I also have a theory that if you get travel sick, you’ll suffer with morning sickness.’ So, if you’re a ‘sicky person’ generally, it might be worth preparing for a miserable few weeks.

When will it end?
The end of the first trimester is often hailed as the magical moment when all pregnancy ailments disappear. And yes, that includes sickness. ‘It often gets better between 12 and 14 weeks, when beta-HCG levels out,’ agrees Anne.
Weeks seven to 10 are usually the toughest – although about 10 per cent find their symptoms get worse after week 10. ‘Occasionally, women suffer throughout pregnancy,’ Anne adds.

‘Get checked out by your midwife or GP, but there’s rarely anything to worry about – you’re probably just particularly sensitive to pregnancy hormones.’
Some women’s sickness returns during labour, but that’s a different phenomenon altogether, says Anne. ‘This isn’t morning sickness – it’s because your body is so busy concentrating on giving birth that it forgets to process the contents of your stomach, so anything you eat may come straight back up.’

Will my baby be okay?
If you’re throwing up constantly or too nauseous to eat, it’s hard not to worry about your unborn baby. But morning sickness doesn’t mean anything is wrong with your baby, or cause him any harm.

‘You would have to be very severely malnourished before it would affect your baby,’ says Anne. ‘The fetus takes all the nutrition it needs from the mother.’
In fact, morning sickness could be a positive sign, with some studies linking it to a reduced risk of miscarriage. ‘Anecdotally, many midwives would agree – sickness indicates that high levels of pregnancy hormones are present, which suggests that the embryo has implanted well,’ Anne says.
That doesn’t mean, however, that it’s a bad sign if your sickness disappears. ‘In rare cases, women report that their sickness stops suddenly just before a miscarriage, but it’s not a reliable sign,’ says Anne.

Fading sickness is more likely to be a sign of your body adjusting to pregnancy hormones – but talk to your midwife if your symptoms change suddenly.

Neither does it mean that, if you’re among the 25 per cent who don’t experience sickness, you’re going to lose your baby. ‘Sickness isn’t a scientific way of predicting a good or bad outcome,’ says Anne. ‘It’s simply your response to pregnancy hormones – and some people are just lucky!’

13 ways to beat sickness

1. Eat little and often – blood sugar dips can make you feel nauseous. For energy, try bland, high-carb food like toast or crackers. Avoid rich, spicy and fatty foods.

2. Wear acupressure bands – they’re designed for travel sickness, but work for morning sickness, too, and are available from most pharmacies.

3. Try some lemon aid – replace your morning cuppa with hot water and lemon, and keep a fresh lemon wedge in a plastic bag to sniff when you feel nauseous.

4. Keep a diary of your symptoms. It’ll help you spot any patterns to your sickness, so you can be prepared for attacks of queasiness and plan your meals for nausea-free intervals.

5. Get some rest – lying down, if possible. Like travel sickness, pregnancy sickness is often triggered by motion, so stop rushing around and avoid travelling whenever you can.

6. Drink ginger ale, grate fresh ginger into a glass of hot water, or nibble ginger biscuits – this common spice is a popular remedy for morning sickness.

7. A heightened sense of smell is common in early pregnancy and is linked to nausea. Hot foods tend to smell more, so eat cold meals and avoid cooking for the rest of the family.

8. Set your alarm half an hour early so you can get up gradually. Keep a packet of crackers and a glass of water on your bedside table and have something to eat and drink before you get up, to settle your stomach.

9. Peppermint is renowned for its digestive powers, so drink peppermint tea or suck minty sweets. Just brushing your teeth may help quell a bout of nausea.

10. Try vitamin B6 – used to treat morning sickness since the 1940s. Ask your doctor before taking a supplement, or get it from bananas, avocados, brown rice, fish, lean meat and nuts (if you can keep them down…).

11. Acupuncture can be very effective – to find a therapist, contact the British Acupuncture Council (020 8735 0400, acupuncture.org.uk).

12. Don’t drink with meals. You’re less likely to vomit if you avoid fluids for half an hour before and after eating.

13. Finally, don’t go anywhere without a supply of sick bags. Vomiting into your handbag will just add insult to injury.

About hyperemesis gravidarum

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), or extreme pregnancy sickness, is characterised by recurrent vomiting, dry lips and mouth, dark, concentrated urine, and even weight loss. Around one per cent of pregnant women suffer from HG, and one in 150 need hospital treatment.
Carly Poyser, 26, from Sheering, Herts, suffered from HG in both of her pregnancies. ‘Both times, it started almost as soon as I tested positive,’ says Carly, mum to Alfie, 21 months, and Oscar, 10 months. ‘With Alfie, I threw up small amounts throughout the day, whereas with Oscar, I couldn’t keep any food down at all.
‘My midwife told me all the usual self-help tips, but nothing worked – I’d throw up as soon as I lifted my head off the pillow in the morning,’ Carly continues. ‘My husband put on more weight than I did at first, because he’d end up eating my dinner. It lasted until 24 weeks with Alfie and 20 weeks with Oscar. I managed to keep down enough fluids to avoid hospital treatment, but I felt so drained.’
Although your baby is unlikely to be affected by HG, you may become severely dehydrated, so it’s essential to talk to your midwife or GP. ‘We usually admit women to hospital and give them fluids by drip for 24-48 hours,’ Anne Deans explains. ‘Often, once a woman is rehydrated, she turns a corner and feels much better. We can also prescribe tablets, although they’re not always effective.’

How your breasts change during pregnancy

2010-02-21T04:24:00.000-08:00

When your breasts start to grow it’s often the first sign of pregnancy, they grow bigger along with your bump and are the best way to feed your baby. Don’t your breasts deserve some attention

Your breasts go through enormous changes during pregnancy and early motherhood, so it’s important to know how to look after them. Whatever their size or shape, they’ll need some extra attention, particularly if you are planning to breastfeed.
Tender time

Sensitive breasts are often one of the first signs of pregnancy, and you may notice this even before you miss your first period. As soon as you conceive, your body is preparing to nourish your baby after birth, and by the sixth to eighth week of pregnancy, your breasts will feel firm and fuller.
If your skin is pale, you may notice the veins are closer to the surface. Tingling or even stabbing pains are also common, and the glands around your areolas (nipple area) may become raised.
‘Breast discomfort is a normal part of pregnancy,’ says M&B health visitor Jackie Walsh.
‘Your hormones stimulate the development of tiny milk glands, and from early pregnancy these will be making a form of milk called colostrum.’ This white substance may appear on the nipple occasionally but is nothing to worry about.
While you are pregnant, you will need to wear a good supporting bra –it’s well worth getting one fitted properly. Don’t wear an underwired one though, as these can interfere with milk production.
If you are planning to breastfeed, you’ll also need to be fitted for a feeding bra a month or so before the birth. Choose one that’s simple to undo, has wide shoulder straps and several sets of hooks and eyes to adapt to your changing shape.
Keep your breasts clean by washing them as normal, but avoid heavily perfumed soaps and lotions as your breasts may be more sensitive at the moment.
Sudden changes
‘During the days and weeks after your baby is born, your breasts will go through tremendous changes as they adapt to the needs of your baby,’ says Jackie Walsh.
In the first three days after labour, you will produce colostrum, which contains valuable antibodies to protect your baby against some diseases.
If you decide to breastfeed, it’s very important to get advice on positioning your baby. Problems such as sore nipples and engorgement are usually due to putting him in the wrong place. Your midwife or health visitor will be able to make sure your baby is latching on properly, and give you any help or advice you need.
Milk monitor
After about three days, colostrum is replaced by breast milk and you will notice how heavy and full your breasts feel. Many women feel very emotional at this stage, as their hormones kick in.
When your nipple is stimulated by your baby sucking, or you hear your baby cry, your milk will flood into your breasts and may even leak out. This is called the ‘let down’ reflex.
‘The size of your breasts has no bearing on how much milk you produce,’ says Jackie Walsh. ‘This is governed by hormones, a good blood supply and a healthy diet.’
Take care
Because of the added weight of your breasts, you will still need to wear a supporting bra, even at night (although, if you are not breastfeeding, your breasts should return to their pre-pregnancy size within a couple of weeks). Use absorbent breast pads inside your bra to help to contain any milk leakage.
Washing your breasts with warm water in the shower will keep them clean, you don’t need to use soap.
Troubleshooting
Once it is established, breastfeeding is an easy, enjoyable and convenient way of feeding your baby. But discomfort in the early days is common, and you’ll probably need lots of help from a midwife or breastfeeding counsellor. Below we list some of the possible problems you may encounter and how to solve them.
Engorgement
During the first week of breastfeeding it’s usual for breasts to become hard to the touch, over-full and painful. The longer you go between feeds, the more likely they are to become engorged, so frequent feeding and feeding on demand is a good idea. The pain will improve within a couple of days - but to reduce it and help your baby latch on, you can:
- Soak in a warm bath to drain off excess milk, or apply warm flannels to soften the breasts

- Put a cold flannel on your breasts after a feed to reduce swelling

- Express a tiny amount of milk by hand or with a breastpump to make the nipple stand out and the milk flow more easily

- Chill a large green cabbage in the fridge. Peel off a leaf and put one in each cup of your bra for a cooling effect.
Sore nipples
Your nipples may be very sensitive in the first week or so, particularly when your baby latches on. This eases once the milk starts flowing, but if the pain doesn’t start to decrease after a few seconds, or if your nipples become very sore, you need to check that your baby is positioned properly. You can:
- Ask a midwife to check your baby is correctly positioned

- Avoid using soap on your breasts – it removes the natural lubricating oils and leaves them more vulnerable to damage

- Express a few drops of breast milk and let it dry on your nipples to soothe them

- Change your feeding position frequently so your baby is not always pressing on the same part of your nipple

- Apply calendula cream – it’s soothing and safe.
Blocked duct
Tight clothing or engorgement can cause a blocked milk duct, which will appear as a hard red patch on your breast.
You can:

- Make sure your bras fit properly

- Encourage your baby to empty the breast when feeding, gently massaging the painful area as he feeds

- Soak in a warm bath to ease the pain

- Express a little milk by hand or pump.
Mastitis
This can be caused by an untreated blocked duct or an infection, which enters through damaged skin – perhaps a cracked nipple. As well as a sore red patch on your breast you will have flu-like symptoms.
You should:
- See your GP who will prescribe antibiotics. These are not harmful to your baby

- Take paracetmol every four hours if your temperature is up – again this will not harm the baby

- Offer your baby the sore side first to try and get milk moving through the breast

- Take warm baths and soothe your breasts with warm flannels.
Thrush
If you suddenly develop soreness or cracked nipples that won’t heal after pain-free feeding, it may be due to thrush of the nipple, which can be passed on to you from your baby’s mouth and back again. You may notice tell tale white spots in your baby’s mouth or that he has soreness around the genital area.
You should:

- See your GP who will prescribe an antifungal gel to apply to your nipples. This won’t harm the baby for whom the GP may also prescribe antifungal drops.
If you’re not breastfeeding
If you bottlefeed from the start, your breasts may feel uncomfortable and even painful for a few days after giving birth. They may also leak for a few days. This won’t last long, but paracetamol can help relieve the pain. Your breasts should return to normal after a week or so.
Time to stop
Once you decide to stop breastfeeding, take it slowly to minimise discomfort to you and upset to your baby. Drop one feed at a time, and allow at least a week before you drop another.
‘Many women find their breasts continue to leak small amounts of milk for weeks and sometimes months after they’ve stopped breastfeeding. This is quite normal and will eventually stop,’ says Jackie Walsh.
When you’ve stopped breastfeeding altogether, you may find your breasts are smaller and softer than before, although some women find their breasts are larger– there’s no way of telling how you’ll be affected.
Breast check
Checking for lumps
It’s important to check for breast lumps each month after your period. Here’s how:
1 Take five minutes in the shower or bath.
2 Raise one arm above your head and, with the other hand, gently feel around the opposite breast.
3 Starting at the outside, work up into the armpit and around, moving in towards the nipple.
4 Repeat on the other side.
5 Afterwards, sit in front of the mirror and check your breasts for any change in the colour or skin surface – look for dimpling or puckering around the nipple and for any changes in the appearance of the nipple.
If you find a lump it is very unlikely to be cancerous but get it checked out by your GP. If there is any uncertainty as to what it might be, he will refer you to the breast clinic at your local hospital and you should be seen within two weeks.
Although your breasts will feel very different when you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s still important to be aware of how they feel and to check them occasionally. If you are concerned, see your GP.

How to stop strangers touching your bump
As soon as you share your news, it’s your 15 minutes of fame. Welcome to the touchy-feely world of being pregnant

For most women, the strangest aspect of people’s fascination with their pregnancy is the intense interest in their bump. In your non-pregnant life it’s unlikely you’ll ever have to deal with your belly being rubbed on a daily basis, but as soon as your bump appears everyone you meet will expect to be included in the baby’s kicks.

When the toucher is your partner, your mum or your best friend, you’ll probably be happy to share the experience, but colleagues and strangers are another matter. Unfortunately, society’s usual rules about the sacredness of personal space don’t seem to apply to pregnant women.

Not knowing how to respond is understandable, especially as people seem to feel you’re not a good sport if you don’t allow them to paw your stomach. If you can, try to grin and bear it – most people mean well and are just curious. However, if people reaching out for your bump saying, ‘You don’t mind, do you’ makes you squirm, try one of the following:
• Put your own hands on your bump – it sends out a ‘keep off’ signal to other people.
• Take a deep breath and politely ask them not to touch you because it makes you feel uncomfortable. They may feel you’re being rude, but you’re not – they’re invading your personal space.
• Give them a taste of their own medicine: reach out for their belly as they reach for yours, and explain you’re into equal exchange.
Care to comment?
Not everyone feels they can touch your bump, but nothing on earth will stop them having an opinion about your pregnancy, be it your size, your shape or your ‘unpregnant’ conduct. You might well ask who stuck a ‘Go ahead, tell me exactly what you think’ note on your back.

The truth is, you’re no longer seen as an adult woman – you’re a baby-carrier, and as such, people feel they have the right to have their say (naturally, they’re concerned about your baby’s ‘welfare’, not just nosy and opinionated – or so they’ll tell you).

Being the centre of attention for nine months is exhausting. However, most people are just interested in your pregnancy and want a tiny glimpse of the exciting thing that’s happening to you. After the baby’s born you’ll find the interest will immediately be transferred to your offspring (you might even miss it).

And things could be a lot worse – in some cultures touching a pregnant woman’s belly is considered to be good luck. At least your partner’s football team doesn’t queue up for a quick rub before a match...
5 things you don’t want to hear when you’re pregnant1. ‘Was it planned?’
2. ‘You’re not showing very much yet, are you?’
3. ‘How many have you got in there?’
4. ‘You’re really putting on weight all over, aren’t you!’
5. ‘When’s baby number two coming?’

First signs & symptoms of pregnancy

2010-02-21T04:19:00.000-08:00

You don’t have to wait until your baby is born to make contact with her - unborn babies as young as 12 weeks may be able to hear your voice.

Talk to your bump
From as early as 12 weeks, your baby may be able to hear your voice. It’s the easiest sound for her to detect, as it is transmitted through your body. Talk soothingly or even repeat nursery rhymes to your baby and see if you feel her kick in response. By the time she is born, she will already be familiar with the sound of your voice and will turn towards it when she hears it.
The sound of music
While there’s no scientific proof that playing music to your bump will increase your child’s intelligence, many women find that their unborn babies respond to music with increased movement. Sing to your baby or stretch your Walkman headphones across your bump and play her some tunes – classical music, in particular Bach and Mozart, is thought to be especially soothing.
Making contact through touch
From about 17 weeks you will start to feel your baby move, although you probably won’t feel actual kicks until about 20 weeks. Take the time to sit quietly and feel your baby’s movements – while you’re in the bath is a good time as you can also watch your bump move about. When your baby kicks, you may be able to set up a kind of dialogue with her. Press gently on the spot where you have just felt a kick to see if she responds with another one. As she gets bigger, you will probably be able to identify different parts of her body by feeling your bump. Try giving her a massage by stroking the area covering her head, back or bottom.
Create positive mental pictures
If you’re feeling overawed at the prospect of motherhood, visualization – creating positive mental pictures – can help you feel closer to your baby. Take up a relaxed position, close your eyes and imagine the baby at the centre of your body, being nurtured and protected by you. If the birth is imminent, then imagine yourself holding the baby and focus on the joyful feelings that this will bring.
Learning about your unborn baby
Read all you can about your baby’s development and how she is growing from week to week. It’s easier to relate to her as a person when you learn that she’s got eyes and ears, and fingers and toes. Get to know her pattern of movement throughout the day – some women find that their baby becomes particularly active when they lie down to sleep!
Get your partner involved
Get your partner to join in with the preparations for birth. Take him along to classes and shopping for baby things. He can even help out with breathing exercises! Encourage your partner to talk to your bump, so that the baby will also recognise his voice as soon as she’s born.
Say hello at the scan
Bring your partner along when you have your scan – you’ll be amazed how differently you’ll both feel once you’ve seen your baby wave to you on screen! When you attend your scan, ask the ultrasound operator to position the screen so that you can see it too and ask lots of questions about what the baby is doing. You could even consider asking your baby’s sex. Some people find that knowing whether they are going to have a boy or a girl can help them think about the baby as a real person. Sometimes they even choose his or her name and start using it straight away!

How to Avoid Feeling Like a Frumpy Mom

2010-02-21T04:16:00.000-08:00

Although all moms feel frumpy at times, this affliction seems to hit young mothers the hardest. When many of their peers are still out dancing the night away at trendy clubs, young mothers are struggling to juggle all the responsibilities involved in raising a child to become a productive member of society. However, there are a few simple tips that can help these women get back that "spark" they fear they lost.

Instructions

Step 1
Invest in a good makeup kit. What mother has time to spend hours applying multiple cosmetics in the morning, trying to decide what looks right? Kits like Avon's mark "Flip For It" compacts make it easy to get a pulled together look. Each kit has two eye shadows, two lip colors, two lip glosses, and one blush perfectly matched to help you look your best.
Step 2
Find a signature scent. Chocolate orchid, lime lavender, lemon sugar, honey jasmine... there's nothing like the power of a great fragrance. Mark offers shower wash, scent mist, body butter, and moisture milk so you can layer your fragrance for maximum staying power. Being a mom doesn't mean you're doomed to spell like a combination of spit-up and Clorox.
Step 3
Buy some new jewelry. It may not be practical to chase a toddler around in a skirt and heels, but wearing a pretty necklace or a fun bracelet is a simple way to brighten your day. Accessories are also cheaper than an entire outfit, which is a plus when you're saving up to take the kids to Disneyland.
Step 4
Take time to pamper yourself. Once the kids are in bed, flip through your favorite magazine as you perk up your complexion with an oil absorbing mask. Just keep in mind it doesn't count as relaxation if you're reading something that includes articles on potty training or husbands who won't help out around the house!

Snipping male genitals effects female reproduction

2010-02-21T04:11:00.000-08:00

Washingtona: By tearing parts of male genitalia in tsetse flies, researchers induced changes in female reproduction, including reduced ovulation, reduced sperm storage and increased re-mating attempts by the females."To the best of our knowledge, this was the first study to look at female choice following experimental manipulation of both male and female genitalia," said William Eberhard, staff scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) and professor of biology at the University of Costa Rica.
Cryptic female choice - the ability of females to control which sperm reaches their eggs during and after the mating process - leads to rapid evolutionary changes in genital structure and is probably influenced by the number of times a female mates with different males

"The tsetse fly Kama Sutra is long and elaborate," said Eberhard, who described the 30-minute ritual during which the male rubs the underside of the female's abdomen with his hind legs, sings to her by buzzing his wings, rubs her eyes with his front legs, and so on.
With Daniel Brice'o, professor of biology at the University of Costa Rica, Eberhard modified male genital structures by cutting off a tooth that is typical of this species of tsetse fly and by smoothing a bristly surface by applying a coat of nail polish. Besides, they modified the sensations perceived by the female from these structures by altering the female sense organs on the portions of her body that these male structures contact during copulation, said a STRI release.
"We were surprised by the number of female processes that were influenced by modifying the stimuli received by the female from the male's genitalia," said Eberhard.

Lichen sclerosus

2010-02-21T04:01:00.000-08:00

Lichen sclerosus (LI-kun skluh-RO-sus) is an uncommon condition that creates patchy, white skin that's thinner than normal. Lichen sclerosus may affect skin on any part of your body, but most often involves skin of the vulva, foreskin of the penis or skin around the anus.
Anyone can get lichen sclerosus, but postmenopausal women and children who have not reached puberty are at highest risk. Left untreated, lichen sclerosus may lead to other complications.
You may not need treatment because sometimes lichen sclerosus improves on its own. If you do need treatment, your doctor can suggest options to return a more normal appearance to your skin and decrease the tendency for scarring.

Lichen sclerosus is a rare skin condition characterized by white, blotchy patches of thinning skin.

Skin anatomy

Your skin has three layers that house your sweat and oil glands, hair follicles, melanocytes and blood vessels.

Skin layers and melanin

Melanin is a natural pigment that gives your skin its color. It's produced in cells called melanocytes.

Lichen sclerosus in genital area

Lichen sclerosus may affect skin on any part of your body, but most often involves the skin of the vulva, foreskin of the penis or skin in the anal area.

Episiotomy

2010-02-21T03:55:00.000-08:00

The external female genitalia include the labia, the opening to the vaginal canal, and the clitoris. During birth, the vaginal canal expands to let the baby through.

An episiotomy may be needed if the baby's head is too big for the mother's vaginal opening, or the baby is in a breech position (feet or buttocks coming first) and there is a problem during delivery.
Just before the baby is born and while the woman is awake and pain-free (local anesthesia), an incision is made at the bottom of the vaginal opening to enlarge it for the delivery of the baby's head.

Stitches (sutures) are used to close the incision after both the baby and placenta have been delivered. The stitches are absorbed by the body and do not need to be removed.

Vulvar cancer

2010-02-21T03:52:00.000-08:00

Vulvar cancer is an uncommon cancer of the outer surface area of the female genitalia.
Most vulvar cancers are squamous cell carcinomas — a type of skin cancer — that develop slowly over years. A small number of vulvar cancers begin as melanoma. Rarely, vulvar cancers develop in the mucus-producing glands on the sides of the vaginal opening. The sexually transmitted infection human papillomavirus (HPV) is believed to play a role in developing this form of vulvar cancer.
Getting regular gynecologic exams may increase your chance of early detection of vulvar cancer, which means a better chance of successful treatment. You may also be able to prevent vulvar cancer by engaging in safe sexual practices, and you may be able to control other risk factors as well.

Vulva

2010-02-21T03:49:00.000-08:00

The vulva is the outer part of the female genitalia, including the labia and clitoris. Vulvodynia can cause lasting pain and irritation in the area around the vulva.

Vulvodynia (vul-vo-DIN-ee-uh) — or chronic vulvar pain — is characterized by pain in the area around the opening of your vagina (vulva). The pain, burning or irritation associated with vulvodynia may make you so uncomfortable that sitting still for long periods or even having sex becomes unthinkable. The condition can go on for months or years.
Experts believe vulvodynia is underreported. There are several reasons why. It may be partly due to the absence of visible signs in vulvodynia. Or it could be the reluctance of many women to talk about their symptoms.
If you or someone you know is living with vulvodynia, don't hesitate to get help. Treatment options are available to lessen the pain and discomfort of vulvodynia.

Body Mechanics - Female

2010-02-21T03:44:00.000-08:00

A good place to start is on the outside. While some women can label up parts of their external genitalia, do not worry if you are one of those who cannot. Don't worry either if parts of your genitalia appear larger or smaller than in the diagram. As with other parts such as nose, ears and hands, genitalia come in many different sizes.

On the Inside	Explanation
Ovary	There are two ovaries in the body. Ovaries have a store of eggs (ovum). Each month one, or sometimes more, is released by one of the ovaries. Ovaries are about the size of an almond.
Fallopian Tubes	Once the egg is released it travels down through the fallopian tube towards the womb or uterus
Womb/Uterus	The womb or uterus is where the baby will eventually grow. Before pregnancy, it is the size of an upside down pear, but during pregnancy it grows to accommodate the baby. After the pregnancy, the womb shrinks back down to its pre-pregnancy size.
Cervix	This is at the top of the vagina and at the bottom of the womb. During pregnancy it provides a barrier to the outside. Later in labour it opens up to allow the baby to pass through and down into the vagina.

On the Outside	Explanation
Parts of the anatomy	There are four parts of the anatomy on the outside, which consist of the clitoris, opening to the vagina, vulva and perineum.

Female external genitalia (vulva)

2010-02-21T03:42:00.000-08:00

The external female genitalia (vulva) include:

The opening of the vagina (also called the birth canal). The vagina is part of the reproductive tract and extends from the womb (uterus) to outside the body.
The fleshy lips (labia majora and labia minora) around the vagina.
A small bump of tissue (clitoris) covered with a thin flap of tissue. The clitoris is the main source of sensations during sexual activity.

During a vaginal self-examination, you can also see the urethra, an opening that leads to the bladder, and the anus, the opening that leads to the colon.

How a baby is born

2010-02-21T03:34:00.000-08:00

Normal anatomy

The external female genitalia include the labia, the opening to the vaginal canal, and the clitoris. During birth, the vaginal canal expands to let the baby through.

Indication

An episiotomy may be needed if the baby's head is too big for the mother's vaginal opening, or the baby is in a breech position (feet or buttocks coming first) and there is a problem during delivery.

Just before the baby is born and while the woman is awake and pain-free (local anesthesia), an incision is made at the bottom of the vaginal opening to enlarge it for the delivery of the baby's head.

Aftercare

Stitches (sutures) are used to close the incision after both the baby and placenta have been delivered. The stitches are absorbed by the body and do not need to be removed.

"The increased activity the body will result in a health benefit on the body," said Dr. Caroline Richardson who led the research.
"The increase body activity directly reduces the risk of heart problems and blood circulation, lower blood pressure, and help musculature to be faster, especially for those who implement the diet."
Richardson and colleagues, writing in the Annals of Family Medicine, said they have nine observations in the research that involved 307 men and women. They take part in the research of pedometer use among the four weeks to one year.
Tim Richardson in the research shows that a decline of 0.1 pound (0.05 kg) on average per week on volunteers. He also found that the decrease in body weight occurred consistently in the research.
So in a year recorded a reduction occurred five pounds (2.25 kg). Richardson also concluded that the changes occurred in eating habits. Those people are to add 2,000 steps to be more than 4,000 steps per day. The average person walking 2000 steps a day, or approximately one mile.

High blood disorder caused damage of memory

2010-02-17T21:38:00.000-08:00

Be careful with your high blood pressure. If blood pressure is not maintained properly, it will tend to have problems with memory disorders.

According to recent research conducted the University of Alabama, people with high blood pressure tend to have problems with his memory as they entered middle age years compared with those with normal blood pressure.

Data from the research team revealed a link between blood pressure and early signs of dementia or dementia itself. They found that people with high blood pressure is more risky to have problems pronouncing words and mental ability, as a sign of the condition known as cognitive impairment.

Dr Georgios Tsivgoulis from the University of Alabama who led the study revealed, It is possible that by preventing or treating high blood pressure, we potentially prevent cognitive impairment that could be a sign of dementia.

Patients considered to have high blood pressure if the pressure higher than 140/90 mmHg. This research found a link between memory problems and diastolic blood pressure.

If the diastolic blood pressure increased 10 points, then the chance a person has cognitive problems is also increased by 7 percent.

A study published in the journal Neurology involved 20,000 participants aged 45 years and over, where nearly 1 in 13 participants are having problems with memory.

Previous research has also shown that high diastolic blood pressure can cause weakness in an artery in the brain, which can lead to damage to the cerebellum.

Noise Influence Blood Pressure

2010-02-17T21:37:00.000-08:00

Los Angeles - Living near a busy street may contribute to high blood pressure.
"People whose homes were 'an inch' of the engine rumble, toot horns and brakes have sound that increases the risk for high blood pressure affected," said a study published Environmental Health, September edition that circulated in the United States.
To verify how much voice traffic that can be borne by the routine basis, the researchers from Lund University Hospital in Sweden analyzed data from nearly 28,000 people who asked about housing arrangements of people in Scandia, a province in southern Sweden.
They found that people who are young and middle-aged who lived at the house that exposure to noise of traffic above 60 decibels more likely to be stricken with high blood pressure, which in turn can cause strokes and blood vessel disease and heart.
Relationships with high blood pressure getting stronger as the decibel level rises.
Among older people, aged 60-90 years, the decibel level higher unrelated to high blood pressure.
One reason for these findings may be a younger person is less likely attacked by high blood pressure, so the impact of traffic noise more evident.
"The impact of noise may be not too important, or more difficult to detect, associated with other risk factors with age," said the study's authors, Theo Bodin. "The choice is probably a noise disturbance at the age of the human variety."
As many 30% of Europeans live in various areas where the average noise of traffic is 55 decibels or higher, the researchers said.
"The traffic on the road is the most important source of noise in the community," said Bodin.

Way understand your blood pressure!

2010-02-17T21:31:00.000-08:00

Do you understand blood pressure? Blood pressure is the force of your blood against the walls of your arteries. Blood pressure consists of two number; a top and bottom number. The top number is the systolic pressure. The bottom number is the diastolic pressure.

Systolic blood pressure is the force of blood in your arteries as your flashes. If you’re systolic number is higher than a hundred and forty you've hypertension. Even if your diastolic number isn't high you'll be able to still have 'isolated systolic hypertension.' This means only your systolic number is high.

This is coarser for older Americans. This pressure usually increases with age whereas diastolic pressure decreases after fifty-five. You might not know if you've isolated systolic hypertension so ask your doctor if you're concerned.

Diastolic blood pressure is the force of blood in your arteries when your heart relaxes between beats. For younger people this is a very important number. The higher this pressure is the more you're at risk. This blood pressure lowers as you get older and your systolic increases. Therefore diastolic is more authoritative in younger people and systolic in older.

Normal blood pressure is to a lesser degree a hundred and twenty over to a lesser degree eighty. If your pressure is between the normal numbers and hundred and thirty-nine over eighty-nine, you've what is called pre-hypertension. This puts you at risk to develop high blood pressure in the future but it easily preventable.

Hypertension is a name for high blood pressure. Having high blood pressure puts you at risk for heart condition or even strokes. High blood pressure makes your heart work harder than it should and can lead to blindness, nephropathy and even congestive coronary failure.

According to statistics high blood pressure killed over fifty-four thousand people in 2004. Statistics also show that twenty-eight percent of people have high blood pressure and aren't even aware of it. Are you among them?

You should be aware of the risks of high blood pressure so you'll be able to avoid them as best as you can. High blood pressure is a risk for stroke and heart attack. While some risks can be altered or fixed, some cannot. For example if you use tobacco or are overweight you're at risk for high blood pressure.

You'll be able to easily fix this by trying to quit using tobacco and watching your diet to help slenderize. If you've trouble doing either of these on their own, consult your physician. They may be able to prescribe you something or give you useful information to help.

High blood pressure can affect certain parts of your body besides. You might suffer from a stroke. This happens because the high blood pressure can break a weak blood vessel leaving it to bleed into the brain.

Lumayan lah buat bahan posting sesuai sama blog pendi "Tips" khususnya kesehatan, dan semoga berguna buat sobat sekalian.

Langsung aja, anjuran dan larangan kecil nya sebagai berikut :

Berdasarkan riset, Jawablah telepon menggunakan telinga kiri agar radiasi yang diterima otak tidak terlalu besar dibandingkan dengan telinga kanan yang lebih banyak menerima radiasi dalam jarak dekat.
Ketika menelepon dan belum tersambung, radiasi akan bertambah kuat, maka sebaiknya jauhkan handphone dari bagian kepala sebelum connect/tersambung.
Jika baterry handphone tinggal satu, lebih baik jangan terlalu lama telepon karena radiasi akan meningkat sangat tinggi.
Jika Anda sedang sakit dan diharuskan rutin minum obat, maka jangan minum obat dengan air dingin.
Buat Anda yang berat nya sudah berlebihan, lebih baik jangan makan makanan berat setelah jam 6 malam. Jika lapar, lebih baik makan camilan.
Minum lebih banyak air putuh dipagi hari, malam lebih sedikit. Karena pada saat pagi hari setelah bangun tidur kita semalam pada saat tidur tubuh tidak ada pasokan air (ya iyalah, masa tidur sambil minum kecuali lagi nglindur) Dan pagi hari merupakan starter kita melakukan aktivitas disiang, maka dari itu harus memperbanyak stok air dalam tubuh. Dan malam minum lebih sedikit karena untuk mempernyenyak tidur.

FIRST KISS

2010-02-10T01:13:00.000-08:00

Allright, for this time i'm writing my posting with english again. But, it will be little naughty. hehe,,

Everybody is anxious about their first kiss. This is understandable since anything that is unknown can be scary. We've all seen people kiss, either in movies, TV shows or in real life. But how exactly is it done? How do you get over the nervousness? In order to experience a truly wonderful first kiss, it must be done with someone you really care about. Someone whom you've been thinking about day and night. Someone who makes your heart
beat faster. Otherwise it's just another kiss and that is boring. So do not kiss someone just to say you've been kissed. Kiss someone that really means something to you.

Maybe you have questions about first kiss, like these :

What is the earliest time for kissing?
In Indonesia I would have to say 14-16 years old, but only close mouthed kisses. French kissing shouldn't be introduced until around 18-20.

Will The Other Person Know It's My First Time?
Not at all. Because everyone has a different style and way of kissing. Also, some people are more into
strong, passionate kisses while others prefer to start off gently. You won't know what style that person has until you've kissed them a few times, and vice versa. Also, once you've kissed someone a few times your kisses start to meld together, meaning that your styles start to intertwine with one another's. That especially happens when one person didn't realize it was enjoyable to kiss a certain way until they tried it with that person. So then they change their style to this new technique.

How Do a guy approach The First Kiss?
This can be done in one of two ways. You can either just do it or you can ask/demand a kiss. Asking for a kiss is gentlemanly but not romantic. After the date is over, when the two of you are alone, tell herwhat a good time you had. Then say something like, "Is it OK if I give you a kiss good-bye?" Of course the other person will know what to expect but it's not very romantic. But you can demand a kiss. You can say something like, "I'd like to kiss you goodnight" or something along that line. More appropriate I believe.
Just doing it is the best and most romantic way of having the first kiss. It shows that you have enough feelings for that person that you just HAVE to kiss them! The best approach for this is the slow and gentle approach. You're standing in front of them as you're saying good-bye. Then take a step or two towards them, hold their hands in yours and lean towards them. Then give them a gentle, lingering, close-mouthed kiss. An even more romantic approach is to cup their face in your hands. This is extremely exciting when the guy does this to the girl. Got it?

What would be the best place or way to really get the moment of the first kiss so we can do it for a while ?
A great first kiss should always be when you're alone with her. A movie theatre is a good place because it's dark and people won't be paying attention. Try to sit near the back, though, for privacy. Somebody believes that a first kiss should be the good-bye kiss. When you're dropping her off at her place or saying good-bye from seeing one another until the next time, ask her if it's okay if you kiss her. It's not childish or geeky to ask a woman that. It's respectful and kind. "i think" hehe,,

What to do when our lips meet?
Somebody feels fear of messing up when they are going for their first kiss with a experience partner. When your lips meet, just gently press yours against hers. If you wish, you can move your lips against hers or in a small slow motion. The best type of kiss is when you meet hers at a good positioning. This gives more opportunities to explore, it feels nicer, comfort and will give you a chance to French kiss if you wish.

First Kiss Tips

2010-02-10T01:12:00.000-08:00

The first kiss is the most memorable and very touching. Although for teenagers ever felt a kiss from the people he knew before. For example a kiss from his mother, father, grandmother, sister, etc. but the first kiss from a lover will give a new experience extraordinary, who never felt before. For the first experience, the first kiss of the lover it is very difficult to express in words. Heart becomes pounding, cheeks flushed. Shame, sadness, pleasure, a little-bit frightened mixed into one. A kiss on the dating process will be able to strengthen their relationship. Its happened to me when i was still in Senior high school.

Sometimes for the women's first kiss make her all embarrassed. Lingering in front of the mirror timid there are parts missing, or perhaps feeling there may be used around a kiss on the cheek or the lips of her lover that he can take and store in memory.

The first kiss from a lover can give a strong impression in growing the seeds of love among us. Since this is the first experience and a very sensitive thing you need to be careful in doing so. Make the first kiss to be a good first impression. To get a good impression. try See below :

Romantic atmosphere can be an inspiration to try out the desire to love and kisses. Try it by giving a good impression in front of your boy/girlfriend then do first kiss. The best way is slowly and gently. Kiss the genuine feeling that shows that you love her.

The importance of preparations. When you are sure to be fragrant breath and your lips are not dry position. You may also be helped by eating candy that contains mint. I hope you should avoid fried foods contain - fried fish and garlic before making your first kiss. Just think yourself, if your mouth smells like a bad smell to your soap couples, As a result it would be a chaos !

Do not do Frech Kiss at first. Because in the beginning, the first kiss is the first time, should I suggest to avoid the French Kiss. Because of the way French Kiss is very hard to do at the beginning of kissing.

Do not in hurry when kissing. You do not have to ask permission first when he wanted to kiss, but you should find the time to lean back and face to face, such as eye contact and leaning his head anda.Pelajarilah your partner's body language, whether he/she's ready to be kissed.

Dont Nervous ! calm yourself, do not be nervous when first kiss. Since it was a lot of people doing this. Therefore, take the time to take steps at that time .

Give the best impression on the lover before the first kiss. Welcome your lover with a smile, and try to give hospitality to express it all handshake or hug a lover. Thus, if you want to share joy of your lover.

It all depends on the condition and mood. Do not expect more when one partner is not ready. Because it will affect your relationship and appeared uncomfortable effects. I hope my first kiss tips is work. Oke guys.. Good Luck.

Coffee for health benefits

If you are a lover of coffee or tea, there is good news for you. Because recent studies have shown that the habit of drinking coffee or strong tea has health benefits. So, please continue to have a coffee hobby. But also recommended that dont consume it too much, just moderate. The researchers from Australia who has done research, found that consuming coffee or strong tea has the potential to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

"A cup of coffee with a reduced risk equivalent to seven percent," said Rachel Huxley, researchers from the University of Sydney, Australia. Other studies also mentioned the benefits of coffee. In the meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, reported that coffee consumption can reduce the risk of death from prostate cancer. Other studies have also suggested coffee reduce liver disease, Alzheimer's, stroke, and Parkinson.

So far, experts thought that the positive benefits of coffee comes from caffeine, but not just because of that, now the experts also found that other components of these drinks, such as magnesium, lignans, and klorogenat acid, a benefit that is not less important with caffeine. The results of epidemiological studies show a low coffee addicts risk of colon cancer. Based on her research, these components of a positive benefit on blood sugar regulation and insulin release so effective in preventing diabetes.

Coffee, especially the type of arabica and robusta, also contain nutritional components (protein, amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and minerals). Coffee also contains non-nutritional components that are bioactive compounds for improving taste and preservatives, such as caffeine and acid klorogenat. Consumption of caffeine in a normal amount is also advantageous because the use of caffeine can give stimulant effects are temporary and harmless. The effect on the nervous system is to prevent sleep, increase sensory perception, speed of mind (increasing concentration), and reduce boredom or increase resistance to stress.

But returned again to the individual circumstances of each. Many of them are too sensitive to caffeine, so no positive benefits gained but rather the bad effects, for example, body into pounding. But there are many people who consume coffee a day up to 7 cups of even more and no complaints whatsoever. But still recommended by the experts that a safe dose of caffeine per day for consumption is 200 milligrams. Or equivalent to 2-3 cups of coffee and tea per day.

E-cig is the solution for the smoker

2010-02-10T01:03:00.000-08:00

Honestly I was a smoker since high school until now in college, so it has been 6 years old to be active smokers. It was hard to quit smoking, if someone asks "what was the good of smoking?" spontaneous I answer, I dont know ! for some reason it feels good to smoke, and there seemed to be less if the day without smoking. And I also know that the dangers of smoking can cause lung cancer, impotence, heart failure, blood circulation is interrupted, premature aging etc. That is the serious effects of smoking. it still could not stop the addiction to cigarettes. I'm sure the smokers amongst you also feel the same way with me. Various counseling may also be done by many countries for the smoker. But still only temporary.

Then what's the solution? There is an interesting alternative. A cigarette has made not by tobacco but from electronic things. Electronic cigarettes (e-cig) produce a vapor mist that looks like real smoke, but it is not. you (smokers) will get many more benefits than just smoking traditional cigarettes. With e-cig, no more stale tobacco smell on your hands, clothes and any stuffs near from you. Everything including your car, home and office can be free of ashes, dirty cigarette butts, and that lingering tobacco smell. Imagine that, a discovery that is already long but I just know it. Honestly I was shocked to know there is such a great product, a good alternative for you the heavy smokers and still hard to stop.

I'll give some other benefits from e-cig besides those mentioned : No risk of fire from dropping cigarette, you can put it down anywhere, it will not burning your stuffs ; No more nagging from well meaning non-smokers, because its absolutely environmentally friendly ; No more pills, patches or gums that just don’t work ; Cheaper than regular cigarettes (you can compare it) ; Cleaner air and no cigarette butts means cleaner environment ; Varying nicotine strengths to suit your needs ; Exciting flavors to enhance your smoking experience, sounds cool ! ; Convenient and easy to use.

This is not an alternative as stopping smoking addiction, but more to alternatives instead of traditional cigarettes. With e-cig, we as smokers will be free to smoke anywhere because the smoke does not disturb the environment. Even on the plane we could even smoke! Smoking anywhere anytime ! Sounds cool right?! I probably will shift from traditional cigarettes to e-cig because it has lower risks and healthier than traditional cigarette.

Collagen is needed for the formation of bones and teeth and also to form scar tissue. Vitamin C also increases the body resistance against infection and helps the body to absorb iron. Besides Bananas are also advised to consume strawberries and melons. One more, Papaya fruit is highly recommended for pregnant women because of the high contain in vitamin A which can enhance immune pregnant women. Beside it, vitamin A also plays a role in the formation and controlling of hormones and helps to protect the body against cancer.
Vegetables that contain iron is needed by pregnant women.

2010-02-09T23:15:00.000-08:00

Often feel confused about why the body weight isn't reduced after they were desperate sport? Please try glancing is your sleep patterns. Because if not is maybe why you've not weighed.

Researchers at the University of Chicago showed that the sleep debt, it means that we destroy the body's metabolism, which successively will facilitate entry and residence permit of fat in the body. Apparently lack of sleep can increase insulin resistance. It's your body doesn't use blood glucose to be, and thus increases the risk of diabetes. And lower levels of lepton, a hormone that is an important role in satiety signaling. So when this advances, the weight increase.

This will occur when a chronic lack of sleep happens, instead of sporadically. Didn't take long for sleep debt builds, these hormonal effects seen even those who sleep only 4 hours per night for 5 consecutive days.

Solutions to keep hormones in balance are to keep the rest proposal Lauren Broch, Ph.D., director of sleep disorders at the Institute Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, New York City. Most women need at any rate 7-8 hours of sleep at night.

A few other things around us that can make a mess of your diet:
- Lighting. The study found that those who are overweight tend to eat food in a bright room, instead of the light is / was. Glare makes a person feel more tempted to eat something that will ultimately lead them to eat faster and consume more calories. But unfortunately, will be minimal lighting, a person on a diet tend to eat more because they would like to see their bodies falling. Makes is them difficult to remind them about the form.

- Exclude of reach. Apparently, the closer and access to food, the easier he's also tempted to consume them. The study found that food got on the bottom shelf and frequent consumption than the above. If you put food negotiable, and wear away the table, the ability to take food again (ADD), be larger.

- Negative stimulation the radio. Apparently, when we ate while listening to the voices, like a radio or television, you'll feel disturbed concentration while they eat, also spent more time sitting at the table. Simultaneously, when they dine in silence or quiet, you'll center on foods that come through easier to catch out if your stomach is full.

Losing those last 10 pounds

2010-02-08T19:36:00.000-08:00

Take your weight loss slowly and you'll be able to keep that 5 kg (10 lbs) off for a long
time. Be sure to treat your self well because you want to be beautiful on your wedding
day, and you can only be beautiful when you're happy.

If you want to lose 5 kg, it will take a minimum of 3 weeks. Don't do anything drastic --
that is, don't completely change your life to lose 5 kg. I have some suggestions for you
that will help you lose weight gradually in a healthy way:

1) Drink only water -- no teas, coffees, Coca Cola, juices, etc. Water has zero calories
and will help you body flush out the excess fat as you lose weight. I am not familiar with
Zera water, but if it has zero calories, go on drinking it.

2) Eat the same foods you always eat, but eat only 1/2 as much as you usually eat. I
have found that you will not lose weight by making a big change to your diet. By eating
the same food but only 1/2 as much, you will be able to enjoy your usual diet but you will
reduce the amount of calories you ingest. You must eat to give your body fuel to keep it
working, so fasting is NOT the way to lose weight. In fact, when you fast, your body
over-reacts to the food deprivation and will change your chemistry so that it will hold on
to your fat for protection. If you are too hungry when you cut your food by half, try eating
2/3 of your usual portions. YOU MUST EAT TO STAY HEALTHY.

3) To tone your thighs, take long, brisk walks. Your pace should be faster than normal
but not as fast as running. You want to get your heart pumping a little faster than normal
but you do not want to put too much stress on your heart. You should walk for about 45
minutes to an hour a day, and if you can find a few gentle hills, your walk will be
additionally slimming. Going up and down hills is a great way to tone your legs.

4) To tone your tummy, try this twice a day:

* While sitting in an upright position on your chair, tighten your abdominal muscles and
breathe in.
* Hold this position for 10 seconds.
* Breathe out and release the abdominal muscles.
* Repeat this exercise 30 times.

How to remove acne scars!

2010-02-08T19:26:00.000-08:00

Acne is a disease that mainly affects the face, neck, shoulders, back and chest. It is caused by bacteria and also a variety of hormones, androgens that are accurate. Cause the oil glands in the hair roots secrete large quantities of oil, which along with dirt and dead skin cells clog the pores creating infection where bacteria thrive. Moderate to severe cases can lead to crisis in the area where the love came around. Mild cases usually will not leave scars unless the patient has touched them or pinched spots and increased infection.

There are three types of scars caused by acne. The first is like disk hole sunk in the area will not be a pimple. This is caused by loss of tissue support during bums. The second trip is a loss, are often itchy and sore. They too can be offered some time after the acne is gone. The third type of shock caused by acne is a place, these different colors and sizes, and occurring after the acne disappeared and remains the first. Usually they disappear after a few long times. They are very important for you to use sunscreen when they go stable. These posts will significantly change color when exposed to the Sun.

Modern technology has several ways to treat each of these scars. She pressed the wounds can be treated will result sunken fillers or abrasive peeler. The shell will renew the skin and smaller holes will disappear with the old skin. Fillers such as collagen and Botox can be used for major depression, but they will be redone GPA and five or six months later. Chemical peels are also an option and is the primary shell and bruises only reach deeper into the layers of skin and remove more harm than abrasive peeler.

The longer-term treatment is surgery for sunken scars. They performed at the clinic of the doctor and the local population is used. The surgeon removes the scar tissue fills the space under the skin and place left scars on the smoothing top. The doctor can not physically remove the scar completely, will be small and will increase the level of surrounding skin. Eventually dissolve or be inconspicuous. In the case of raised scar treatment applied to the first direct injection of corticosteroids directly into the raised scars. This will soften and smooth the scars. It gives more scars to feel calmer and less intrusive.

Injections are given with some regularity, and depending on the type and size of the scar. Treatment scars if the response to corticosteroids is good and will change noticeably. If after three or four weeks of treatment, scar too late will the operation will probably be needed. Different types of operation are also available, and they depend on the nature and extent of the swollen scars. Many return time after surgery, since a proper treatment should be continued, even after the operation. As the way that the sunken scars, raised scars will not disappear entirely, they will be lowered and leveled, but leave a mark behind. Spot Lesions best left behind, they will disappear over time. Attempts to remove are quickly to build a permanent post.

Ovarian Cysts and Ovarian Pain

2010-02-08T00:33:00.000-08:00

The ovarian cyst is a sac containing liquid, solid material or both, that has attached on the surface of the ovary or has developed inside of it. The ovarian cyst is not a rare disease and seems to affect women aged from 30 to 60. Both ovaries get be affected at the same time or at a distance of years one from another and they can have one or more cysts attached. These cysts are mostly non cancerous but 15 % of them transform into cancerous ones.
Once a month, in the process of ovulation, the women’s body produces hormones which help the follicles grow. These follicles are shaped as a sac and contain the eggs and fluid. After the egg has grown the follicle normally ruptures in order to set the egg free. After that the follicle will become a smaller sac known as luteum. The ovarian cysts are forming due to the failure of the follicles rupturing or due to not releasing the egg. Scientists have classified the cysts into five: functional cysts, endometrial cysts, polycystic ovaries, cystadenomas and dermoid cysts. The functional cysts contain the follicle cyst and corpus luteum cyst which are a part of the normal process that is performed in the ovary.
The follicle cyst measures 2 inches and forms when the egg is sent to the fallopian tube or if the follicle fails to rupture. Most of them disappear in one to three months.
Generally after the egg is removed from the follicle and if the woman is not pregnant the follicle has to transform into luteum, a smaller sac and then disintegrate. If this small sac gets filled with liquid it will form the corpus luteum cyst which will remain inside the ovary.
The polycystic ovarian syndrome is another disease I which the ovaries get filled with intact follicles. It seems that normally the pituitary hormones like progesterone are controlling the egg production process. In some women the pituitary gland does not work properly and so, a lot of follicles are being produced and then stockpiled under the ovaries’ surface. This way the ovaries grow in size, become enlarged and are filled with tiny cysts.
The endometrial cysts refer to the cysts that are formed out of endometrial tissue and blood. The endometrial tissue normally is found in the uterus but in this case it grows in other places too and bleeds, forming the cysts. These cysts can grow for a long time until they reach the size of a grapefruit.
The cystadenomas are neoplasms which appear from the tissue of the ovary and are classified in two: the serous cystadenoma and the mucous cystadenoma. The first one contains liquid and can reach the diameter of 6 inches. The second one contains a gelatinous substance and can get to 12 inches in diameter.
Generally cysts are ‘silent’ and they do not give any symptoms until the get ruptured during sexual intercourse or childbirth. When this happens, the woman will complain of intense abdominal pain, problems with menstruation like bleeding between periods or heavy menstrual flow and infertility which happens in polycystic ovaries. In endometrial cysts, internal bleeding can occur, menstrual cramps, painful sexual intercourse, and weight gain.
If the woman senses a sharp pain it means that the cyst had ruptured or twisted. It is important to go to the hospital as soon as possible as an infection can be produced and the woman‘s life can be in danger.

2010-02-07T19:32:00.000-08:00

Apple certainly has multiple benefits for health. Until you remove the skin. It is integrated into the health benefits of apples.

Do not throw away the skin of apples. The reason is simple, because the skins of apples contain quercetin - substances necessary for raising the level of antioxidants to prevent various diseases.

Research experts from Cornell University said that only Apple, as quercetin. It just means that Apple is able to provide the antioxidant equivalent of 1.500mg of Vitamin C of fresh apple juice from the apple press.

According to the physician Hippocrates and Galen, habits of eating apples are very useful for digestion. This is because eating apples began mushrooming, and the effect is very good for digestion.

World's Healthiest Food

2010-02-06T06:03:00.000-08:00

By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF

Published: January 2, 2010 in the New York Times

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras

So what’s the most scrumptious, wholesome, exquisite, healthful, gratifying food in the world?

It’s not ambrosia, and it’s not even pepperoni pizza. Hint: It’s far cheaper. A year’s supply costs less than the cheapest hamburger.
Give up? Here’s another hint: It’s lifesaving for children and for women who may become pregnant. If you know of a woman who may become pregnant, make sure she gets this miracle substance.
A final hint: It was a lack of this substance that led to a tragedy that I encountered the other day at a hospital here in the Honduran capital. Three babies lay in cots next to one another with birth defects of the brain and spinal cord.
In the first cot was Rosa Álvarez, 18 days old and recovering from surgery to repair a hole in her spine. She also suffers from a brain deformity.
In the next cot was Ángel Flores, soft tissue protruding from his back.
Closest to the door was José Tercera. His mother unwrapped a bandage on his head, and I saw a golf-ball-size chunk of his brain spilling out a hole in his forehead.
The doctors believe the reason for these deformities, called neural tube defects, was that their mothers did not have enough micronutrients, particularly folic acid, while pregnant. These micronutrients are the miracle substance I’m talking about, and there’s scarcely a form of foreign aid more cost-effective than getting them into the food supply.
“It’s unnecessary to have these kinds of problems,” Dr. Ali Flores, a pediatrician and expert on these defects, said as he looked over the three babies.
If a pregnant woman does not have enough folic acid (also known as vitamin B9) in her body at the very beginning of her pregnancy, then her fetus may suffer these neural tube defects. That’s why doctors give folic acid to women who plan to become pregnant.
Equally important is another micronutrient, iodine. The worst consequence of iodine deficiency isn’t goiters, but malformation of fetuses’ brains, so they have 10 to 15 points permanently shaved off their I.Q.’s.
Then there’s zinc, which reduces child deaths from diarrhea and infections. There’s iron, lack of which causes widespread anemia. And there’s vitamin A: some 670,000 children die each year because they don’t get enough vitamin A, and lack of the vitamin remains the world’s leading cause of childhood blindness.
“In the early stages of life, the die is cast,” said David Dodson, the founder of Project Healthy Children, an aid group that fights micronutrient deficiencies in Honduras and other poor countries. “If a child is not getting the right micronutrients, the effect is permanent.”
Nine years ago, Mr. Dodson was simply an American businessman running a 300-employee waste company that he had founded. Then he happened to visit Honduras and, in a hospital, encountered a mother whose newborn baby had a hole in the skull. He learned that negligible amounts of folic acid would prevent such heartbreaking defects — and his life was transformed.
“I had never seen anything in my life that could have so much impact for so little money and be sustainable,” Mr. Dodson said. He and his wife, Stephanie, sold their company and used some of the proceeds to start Project Healthy Children.
The most cost-effective way to distribute micronutrients isn’t to hand them out. Mary Flores, a former Honduran first lady who is active in nutrition, notes that impoverished women can be hard to reach, and even if they are given folic acid pills they sometimes won’t take them for fear that they actually are birth control pills. So micronutrients instead are often added to such common foods as salt, sugar, flour or cooking oil.
Adding iodine, iron, vitamin A, zinc and various B-complex vitamins including folic acid to a range of foods costs about 30 cents per person reached per year. Groups focusing on micronutrients also include Helen Keller International and Vitamin Angels.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has required that flour be fortified with folic acid since 1998. Even in America, with better diets, medical care and widespread fortification, not all women get enough micronutrients, but the problem is far worse in poor countries.
Mr. Dodson notes that it is much cheaper to prevent birth defects than to treat them.
“It’s not a sexy world health issue, but it’s about the nuts and bolts of putting together a healthy population,” Mr. Dodson said. “Putting small amounts of iron, iodine and folic acid in the food supply hasn’t drawn attention the way it does when you treat someone who is sick or in a refugee camp. Until recently, this has been off everybody’s radar screen.”
As the United States reorganizes its chaotic aid program, it might try promoting what just may be the world’s most luscious food: micronutrients.

Five Asthma-Fighting Foods

2010-02-06T06:02:00.000-08:00

According to Jonny Bowden, Ph.D, in his book The Healthiest Meals on Earth, these five foods will help you “win the fight against asthma.”
1. Salmon. Omega-3 fats found here are anti-inflammatory. You can also try flaxseeds and sardines.
2. Spinach and kale. High in magnesium, these foods will help boost the lower levels of magnesium found in asthmatics. Magnesium relaxes the muscles, and getting more could help calm the upper respiratory muscles that tend to spasm with asthma.
3. Red peppers. The vitamin C will help reduce the symptoms of exercise-induced asthma. People with asthma also tend to have lower levels of vitamin A, in which department red peppers can also be of aid.
4. Chinese cabbage. It’s a great source of vitamin B6, which “appears to help correct abnormalities in metabolism frequently found in asthmatics.” Also a great stress-buster, vitamin B6 can do the rest of us some good, too. Also try: bananas, garbanzo beans, and chicken.
5. Onions. Also anti-inflammatory, onions may also relax the bronchial passageways. Caution: personal chef and food coach Lisa Turner warns that raw and pickled onions might asthma attacks in a small number of sensitive people.

Vitamins for Women: I Raise My Protein Shake and Salute You!

2010-02-06T05:58:00.000-08:00

One of the hardest things I had to do was re-train my brain and body to consume lighter, more nutritious meals every day. Man, is the breakfast, lunch and dinner routine entrenched in my being!

I was having trouble losing those last 10 pounds. I tried everything, including not eating and all I managed to do was feel more tired and depresssed. Then my friend, Jeff, talked to me about the body's metabolism and how intense meals of protein stimulate lean muscle mass and ultimately weight loss. I adjusted my intake of protein. Started using WomenVitamins Basics P3 (Protein Power Powder), a whey protein isolate that supplies you with 20 grams of protein per serving.

I then decided to try the 5 meal plan, even though it seemed a little awkward, especially in school. But it works! I am not hungry, I lost the 10, I have energy and I feel satisfied (both in the not hungry and the not needing additional sweets categories).

Personally, I like to mix fruits in with the protein shake. Bluberries, strawberries, and bananas are my favorites. I have tried melon and raspberries, kiwi, you get the picture. Every flavor is a new adventure.

Active women, dieters, athletes, body builders are all drinking protein shakes. I was surprised to discover that most women and girls are deficient in their daily intake of protein. Seeing as how protein is the essential part of every cell in my body, I know I need to increase my protein intake, and decrease my intake of carbs and sugars.

I read a great book, years ago, by Dr. D'Adamo who wrote about Eating Right for Your Type. Since I was little, I have known that protein (especially meat) makes my body happier. (By the way, I have O- the original human blood type...the hunter/nomad...hence my propensity for meat.)

Protein repairs cell and body tissues, assists with hormone and enzymatic production, builds bones, muscles, skin, blood, and cartilage. You get the picture, it is IMPORTANT.

Sources of high-quality protein:

Beans & Legumes: contain a great supply of fiber and the most protein found in any vegetable

Beef: an excellent source of protein, especially if it is grass-fed

Eggs: free-range organic chickens are the happiest and healthiest...

don't over cook the eggs

Nuts: be moderate, nuts offer a lot of protein power in a very small package, most sources recommend a serving of a nut, like an almond at 15 pieces/day...do not think the roasted, salted nuts are as beneficial as the raw nut

Poultry: remove the skin and benefit from a good protein source without saturated fat.

The Right Protein Powder:

WomenVitamins Basics P3 (Power Protein Powder) is a great source of protein and works well as the small meals in the middle of the morning and afternoon.

I usually drink my Basics P3 protein shake for breakfast because it is easy to fix, tastes great and blends so well with a serving or 2 of fruit.

Basics P3 also has 100% RDA of 10 vitamins and 14 essential minerals...PLUS it uses flax seed for additional Omega 3 fats, and has a proprietary blend of digestive enzymes....

So, when you need the right proteins delivered in the most pleasant, economical, and effective way to guarantee peak benefits from head to foot, try Basics P3. It can:

Aide your beneficial gut bacteria

Assist your joint and muscle health

Bolster your immune health

Boost our energy

Promote your muscle strength, endurance and recovery

Protect all your tissues' cells via its antioxidant properties

Provide critical amino acids and proteins for overall optimal health

Support your body's optimal metabolic rate and fat burning level

I lift my protein shake up high and salute your good health and the loss of those last few pesky poounds! Be Blessed, Kersten

What about my calcium and vitamin D??

2010-02-06T05:53:00.000-08:00

I've been having some people asking me with concerns about not getting enough of the right vitamins, minerals and nutrients on the Paleo diet. Most concerns are leaning toward the need for Vitamin D and calcium. Lets consider for a minute what we're eating and why.

We are eating a diet that we are genetically adapted for. As paleolitic eaters we don’t worry about the low carb, sugar free, crap, and we don’t worry about quantity, we worry about the quality of the food. We eat meats, vegys, fruits and *clean fats; whole, solid foods. Avoid processed products, if you can’t find it in nature, pick it and eat, it’s not in this meal plan. No foods with added sugar or added sugar subsitiutes, as well as chemicals, nitrates, or dextrose products. We eat protein provide by animal product because they are the only food source with all essential amino acids. No soy (too much estrogen and missing essential amino acids), no liquid protein. *We eat clean, healthy fats like monounsaturated found in olive oils, and avacados, or healthy polyunsaturated fats like omega 3’s. We use vegys and fruits to provide our body with its needed carbohydrates. All in the effort to have gradual rises in blood sugar, decreased disease risks, increased stamina, energy and overall health.

Meat: Provides our protein. This must be animal meat. As we say, “anything with a face on it”. Why? Solid animal protein increase your metabolism (while you’re digesting it) and slows your appetite (by making you feel full longer). (The leaner the meat the faster the body will drop the unnecessary stored fat.)

Mostly vegys and some fruit. Our main source of carbs. Why: They are high in vitamins, minerals, nutrients, antioxidants and fiber, we avoiding the higher glycemic index foods that spike blood sugar levels (like wheats and grains). The vegys and fruits will help normalize blood glucose and insulin levels, promote weight loss, slow/prevent bone density loss (osteoporosis), and energize you.

“But aren’t we missing many essential nutrients and vitamins that we should be getting from grains?” NO! Why: If you eat a varied diet of the above food you will exceed government Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA’s) for your body. Please remember RDA's is the minimal amount the government thinks is necessary.
Below is an example of a paleo days worth of food (using a 25 year old women RDA’s).
Breakfast: salmon (12 oz), ½ cantaloupe
Lunch: shrimp spinach/vegy salad (spinach, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, olive oil based
dressing)
Dinner: 2 pork chops, 2 C broccoli, ½ C blueberries, some almonds
Snack: 1 pork chop some more almonds

Every nutrient except vitamin D, has exceeded the range for recommended amounts. So let’s learn a little about Vitamin D. It occurs in trace quanities in natural foods, and larger quanities in marina mammals and fish liver oils. The need for Vitamin D is very small, you can get most of it from the sun. “Vitamin D’s major biologic function in humans is to maintain serum calcium and phosphorus concentrations within the normal range by enhancing the efficiency of the small intestine to absorb these minerals from the diet.” (National Agricultural library, Article 7, Vitamin D) Which basically means it allows our body to absorb calcium to keep our bones and tissues healthy. “ …but its major influence is in the jejunum and ileum.” (the lower intestine) “When dietary calcium intake is inadequate to satisfy the body’s calcium.” Meaning it’s major function is to aid the body in absorbtion when you aren’t eating enough calcium. As you can see above, this paleo eater, is getting 111% of her recommended daily allowance of calcium. So where do we get Vitamin D if not from food, the sun. According to the FDA, “Throughout the world, the major source of vitamin D for humans is the exposure of the skin to sunlight.” If the Vitamin D is a concern for you there is always supplement available, or cod liver oil. Considering most, if not all of the vitamin D americans digest is added into the product, such as milk and juice, it's not going to make any difference if you take the vitamin in a supplement and increase your health and fitness by eating clean.

What breastfeeding women should know about vitamin D

2010-02-06T05:51:00.001-08:00

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that while breastfeeding is the recommended method of infant feeding, breast milk alone does not provide infants with enough vitamin D. Most breastfed infants' bodies will produce the vitamin through sunlight exposure, but some are unable. There are some rare cases where vitamin D deficiency can cause rickets in babies, a disease that hinders bone formation.

Interested in learning more about vitamin D and its importance to breastfeeding women and their babies, we invited Pamela K. Murphy, PhD, MS, CNM, IBCLC, and vitamin D expert to write a guest article on the topic. Read on below for her insight.

Vitamin D. What is all the hype? Vitamin D helps maintain bone health and immune function. Furthermore, an abundance of studies have shown that if vitamin D levels are low, we put ourselves at risk for developing a number of disease processes.

These include many types of cancer, including colon and breast; adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm birth and pre-eclampsia; as well as multiple sclerosis, depressive disorders, heart disease, and diabetes.

A large percentage of women (and men) are deficient in vitamin D. You can check to see what your vitamin D level is by asking your health care provider to do a blood test to check your serum 25(OH)D level, or order a do-it-yourself test online from GrassrootsHealth or the Vitamin D Council. Your 25(OH)D level should be at least 30ng/mL (or 75nmol/L) but should probably be more in the 50-80ng/mL range for optimum health benefits.

Our bodies manufacture vitamin D naturally when our skin is exposed to UVB rays, but because we tend to protect ourselves from these harmful rays through the use of sunscreen and protective clothing, we do not manufacture the daily amount we need.

Even if we expose our bare skin to sunlight, several factors make an impact:

Skin pigmentation. The darker your skin, the more sunlight exposure you need.
Latitude. The further away from the equator, UBV rays are not as strong.
Season. UVB rays are not as strong in the fall and winter months.

Additionally, food sources are limited in the amount of vitamin D they provide. The Office of Dietary Supplements has a great list of foods with the amount of vitamin D they contain.

To increase your vitamin D level, I would suggest taking a vitamin D supplement. The current daily dose recommended by the Institute of Medicine is 400 IU daily. Researchers suggest this is too low and recommend you take as much as 2,000-10,000 IU daily so it is best to consult your health care provider.

Studies are currently underway exploring the safe and necessary doses to supplement pregnant and lactating moms so their babies will receive the necessary amount of vitamin D. Published literature shows that doses of 6,400 IU are safe and effective for a breastfeeding mom and her infant and eliminate the need for infant supplementation of the vitamin.

The bottom line: Get your vitamin D level tested, take vitamin D supplements if needed, and improve the health of you and your baby!

The patient researched for a Board Certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon in Southern California who was experienced in treatement of gynecomastia and found Dr. Pousti’s webiste. During his consultation, the patient was able to review many before and after pictures of patients with the same cases, the patient knew Dr. Pousti was the right surgeon to perform his surgery.

Markings were carefully made prior to surgery. The lines represent the areas where the tissue will be removed to improve the contour of the chest.

An incision around the areola was made and the surrounding excess skin were removed. Liposuction was used to remove excess glandular tissue around and near the aerola.

Here is the tissue and fat removed from each chest.

Patient Testimonial:

The experience I had with Dr. Pousti and his staffs were excellent! My consultations were handled professionally and I felt very comfortable during my visits. When I had my Gynecomastia surgery on 10.26.2009, a few things that really stood out to me was the fact that Dr. Pousti was punctual and the surgery results turned out better than expected. I was informed that the surgery went a bit longer than expected only because Dr Pousti wanted to ensure that I received exactly what I was looking for. I'm currently recovering and my results have been improving greatly! While I'm at my post-op visits, all of the staff greets me with smiles and professionalism. Now I am in week 5 of my recovery and I still receive check up calls from them to see how my recovery is taking place. I never feel rushed whether I have questions on the phone or in person.

After the surgery, I was such a hurry to get back into the gym but I knew I have to rest my body in order to heal. With Dr. Pousti knowing my situation with fitness and sports he informed me on when it's appropriate to return to the gym and my workout intensity. It really shows that he cares not only professionally, but also personally.

Gynecomastia Treatment in Beverly Hills- New, Minimal Invasive Technique of Male Breast Removal Reduction

2010-01-31T19:12:00.000-08:00

Treatment of Gynecomastia in Beverly Hills is a common part of many plastic surgeons’ practices. Removal of overgrown male breast tissue by plastic surgeons in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills varies in technique and effectiveness.

The most prevalent technique for Gynecomastia treatment in Beverly Hills has been the direct excision of male breast tissue through an incision at the periphery of the areola. This scar is often noticeable when a young man takes off his shirt, which become a source of embarrassment is the gym.

Dr. Younai has devised a new technique for the treatment of Gynecomastia in Beverly Hills. In this new method, most of the fatty breast tissue is first liposuctioned via small puncture wounds in the arm pit and the outer chest. This removes about 90% of the breast volume. The remainder of the male breast tissue, which is fibrous, is then removed through a small incision in the areola. With special minimal invasive tools the remaining breast gland is cut into smaller pieces that can be removed through this very small incision. This incision is closed with just two stitches and the patient is sent home in a compression chest garment.

The superficial liposuction technique used in this novel Gynecomastia treatment causes the loose breast skin to shrink by more than 90-95%. In this fashion, there is often no need to remove excess skin and therefore no visible chest scars. In only about 5-10% of patients, Dr. Younai finds the need to remove excess skin at a later time, via a small peri-areolar incision. This innovative method of Gynecomastia treatment eliminates the noticeable chest scars that are the tale-tell sign of male breast tissue removal.

Dr. Younai is a Board certified plastic surgeon who receives patients at the California Center for Plastic Surgery from the Northern as well as the Southern California region. Some of these cities are Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, Burbank, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Pasadena, Glendale, Valencia, Palmdale, Fresno, Bakersfield, and Oxnard.

Missed one or two cycles, then the immune system, heart health, brain function, will be disrupted.

More than 8 hours

Sleep more than eight hours is also not good for the body; raise the sugar levels are identical with diabetes type 2, according to the journal Diabetes Care. And sleeping more than nine hours associated with increased risk of death, say researchers from the University of California, San Diego.

Less than 7 hours

if you sleep less than seven hours each night, probably three times as you suffer from cold and flu. The reason, sleep helps improve the body's response to infection. Excess weight is also a concern. We produce more ghrelin hormone associated with appetite and less leptin when we lack sleep.

6 hours or less

you may think your body functions running fine when sleeping six hours or less. But, sleeping six hours or less a night just for two weeks will affect your memory, time to react to a thing, the brain and cognition in general. The same result happens if you stay awake for more than 48 hours. Thus confirmed a study from is the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Medicine, Philadelphia.

And people who slept five hours or less a night, 50 percent more likely experience high blood pressure than those who slept more than six hours. This is likely due to increased hormone levels of cortisol, stress hormones that constrict the heart arteries, according to a report in the journal Sleep.

Causes of bloat stomach?

Having a slender body but the belly bulge, whoever would not be happy with this situation? Therefore, confidence can be lost with the lack of it part of our body. This may arise from our diet and irregular types of food consumed as in between salt, carbohydrates, fried foods, and fizzy drink.

For those of you who do not want to have a protruding belly, should avoid eating too much salt. Because is excessive salt consumption not only causes the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure attack, but also the body will bind a lot of water. The amount of salt consumed a feeling lethargic, bloated appearance, plus the weight gain due to water absorption in the body a lot. As is known, the salt comes from the dried sea water until crystallized.

Then the food that makes belly is containing carbohydrates. Indeed, our body consists of muscles need carbohydrates for later converted to glycogen or stored carbohydrate reserves for energy. Just like salt, glycogen also binds about three grams of water. And when glycogen is not burned, it can already imagine what happens to our bodies is not it?

However, carbohydrate foods are fine, as long as you limit yourself plus regular exercise. Especially in Indonesia, most of the basic food is rice containing high carbohydrate. However, if we Balance regular exercise, fat can be burned, as well as waste water bond together with glycogen is eroded due to physical activity we do.

Next avoiding is excessive eating fried foods. Because, fried foods are a rich source of food for fat. By the body, fat is digested more slowly so easy to accumulate in the stomach. And the situation will become "perfect" if we do not Balance the sport. Nevertheless, there are also fats that the body safe "Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA). MUFA function is to break the fat in the abdomen. MUFA are common in olive oil, nuts, avocados, and dark chocolate.

Finally, if you want to stay slim is belly and beautiful, not a fizzy drink consumption. Fizzy drinks can be seen from the bubble. When consumed, these bubbles are not digested in the stomach, but will continue to be stored in the stomach. Thus, you can imagine what happens if the bubble continues to settle in the stomach, and is not digested? Yes, the belly bulges.

Not to mention, bubbly contain acids that make our stomach irritation, added sugar in it can make you at risk for diabetes because blood sugar levels high. When it was, swollen belly, plus if you get hurt, the wounds will not be quickly closed, or it may rot. So think carefully what will your food consumption.

Pregnancy Leg Problems

2010-01-24T20:55:00.000-08:00

I do not have leg cramps, I do not have legs swelling, but I have itchy legs or rather itchy feet. The itch is so intense that I have to scatch it. The more I scratch, the more itchy it becomes. Soon, blister appears. I burst the blister, otherwise I don’t have to walk anymore. It was pain, very pain…… but with the pain, the itch subsides…..

This is one of the pregnancy leg problems. Another problem is not so much of a problem, but unsightly. It is the appearance of spider veins and varicose veins. Then there is a ‘butterfly-shaped’ bruise which refused to recover since the first trimester. It does makes my legs ugly with all these (only happens during pregnancy). I hope it will be gone after delivery!

This is my right foot.

“[interferes] with the ability of cells in the ovary to make estrogen”
“causes a woman’s eggs (oocytes) to be more prone to genetic abnormalities”
“is associated with an increased risk of spontaneous miscarriage”

Besides Varicocele, Smoking has also been proved to cause infertility in men. Based on ASRM, Smoking could decrease sperm count, reduce sperm motility significantly and increase sperm abnormality for both shape and function.

The Role of diet pills on weight loss

2010-01-21T08:42:00.000-08:00

It is an all too common a misconception that diet pills will suffice for adequate weight loss, regardless of the daily calorie intake. A large proportion of people will wrongly believe that it is possible to eat whatever they like, as long as they are taking a course of slimming pills. This is of course false, and it must be noted that diet pills are essentially redundant if consumed without regular exercise and a balanced diet.
A course diet pills will essentially serve to reinforce the gains and progress made through a healthy diet and regular physical activity.
There are of course, a number of prescription treatments like Reductil and Xenical, both of which work toward a common goal of weight reduction, through disparate means. Xenical serves to prevent any excess fat absorption into the body whilst Reductil works as an appetite suppressant.
Ultimately, diet pills will pose as an additional means of treating obesity and are a last resort. If regular exercise and healthier diets will not suffice, which can be the case, then a doctor will advise the patient to undergo a treatment, in accordance with their personal suitability. In addition diet pills are an option for those with BMI levels that are greater than 30.0 (obese).

Acne Overnight Treatment – Time to Wake Up Acne Free!

2010-01-21T08:41:00.000-08:00

You may try to eliminate your acne with an acne overnight treatment. There are some ordinary treatments that may be applied while you are sleeping so the acne will look good in the morning. These might not work for everybody but you may try it.
Try using a number of tea tree oil and mold it on a pimple. Take a little piece of surgical tape and a cotton piece, moisten the cotton with tea tree oil, after that place a small bit mold on the oil and pack down till it sticks. Apply the cotton on the pimple and strip in place and leave the cotton until morning. It is believed to help draw out the liquid from the pimple and it must look fresh in the morning. This technique is only excellent for small pimples that are isolated; not for treating all of them so don’t go wild with it.
Try a number of the over the counter medications of acne that might be applied while you are resting. Most of them are patches that are medicated and will go on top of the pimple. Keep the pillow of your cases clean, replacing them everyday would help avoid any microorganisms from being reintroduced to your face. And drinking plenty of water might help redden the toxins from your body, clean your face on an everyday basis and eat good food to remain healthy.
While there are so many demands for an acne overnight treatment, a lot of them have come and go. This is for the reason that curing acne is a long term procedure and the best outcome come from a precautionary everyday routine. Use a mixture of acne rinsing face wash everyday with a small amount sugar diet can frequently work better than even prescribe medicine. So while a pat of white toothpaste may free from pimples in the night, your best stake would be to discover a long term answer to the problem and get it clear for good!
Now after all the tips are given the acne is vanished and you have had your extraordinary day you do need to understand that you are required to have a long term answer to your problem. The speedy fixes are just what they are rapidly fixes; they will not eliminate your acne away forever. What is required for you is a long term explanation to your problem. And If you know that you have had acne for a longest time you perhaps have tried all different kinds of products in the previous years, but I assure you that after fifteen years of problems in acne and quite a lot of visits to the dermatologist I know what is the best acne treatment in the market.

A new medication has invented for Hair Loss

2010-01-21T08:38:00.000-08:00

A pharmaceutical firm believes that a glaucoma medication which is being developed for cosmetic use may have potential as a cure for hair loss. Latisse is already being touted as a tool to give people extra-long eye-lashes and now internet rumours are spreading that tests are taking place to see if it could also grow hair on the scalp.
The drug is made by the firm Allergan and was originally marketed as an eye-drop to bring relief to sufferers of glaucoma. However doctors started to notice patients were reporting their eyelashes were becoming longer and fuller. Patients apply it like an eyeliner and apparently the Hollywood star Brooke Shields is a big fan.
Last year the FDA approved it for cosmetic use, though it is only available with a doctor’s prescription. Since Latisse, medical name Bimatoprost, hit the market in May, it has totalled about $12 m worth of sales. If it does work as a hair loss treatment, then Allergan stand to make considerably more from the drug.
At the moment, there are only two medications that doctors widely accept work as hair loss treatments. The first, Propecia, is a prescription drug that treats male-pattern hair loss. The manufacturers say that Propecia can stop hair loss within six months, as well as promote new hair growth.
Then there is Regaine, or Rogaine as it is known in the U.S. The topical gel contains the active ingredient minoxodil and unlike Propecia also has a version aimed at women suffering from hair loss.
Both Propecia and Regaine are big sellers in the pharmaceutical market so companies are eager to develop new treatments, as the competition is so limited the profits could be large.
Speaking to Allergan investors, Scott Whitcup, who is in charge of Research and Development at the firm, said “We’re in the midst of looking at a number of [selections] by Bimatoprost for hair growth on the scalp.”
However he warned that trials could take some time. “Unlike Lumigan for glaucoma, we don’t have the eight years plus of clinical trials data so we’re sort of starting from scratch.”
As the companies intent to investigate the potential of the drug further was announce, rumours started to abound that the pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline were considering acquiring Allergan. Market pundits have generally agreed that if there really is potential for Bimatoprost as a hair loss treatment, then the firm could prove an extremely profitable purchase.

“Discover How To Lose Weight Permanently, Without Dieting, Going To The Gym Or Taking Pills, And Still Eat Your Favourite Foods…

2010-01-21T08:36:00.000-08:00

Learn the simple secrets that the diet industry will never tell you that empower you to lose weight permanently, and yes, you can still eat the foods you want, without feeling guilty!”

Dear Friend,

Have diets failed you in the past?

It’s important to know that it’s not you that failed to lose weight and keep it off, it’s the way the diet industry has conditioned you to approach dieting that is the problem. Most of the diets available today fail to address the underlying causes of your weight gain.
Do you lose weight, only to put the weight straight back on?

We’ve all done it, a New Year’s resolution, losing weight for a holiday, a wedding, a party or Christmas…taken 1, 2, 3 months or more weighing food, watching what we eat, counting calories…everything we can to shed that last pound.

We then reward ourselves on a job well done. Bit by bit, little by little, our weight edges back up and the old habits that made us overweight in the first place return…sadly many people end up heavier than before…

Do you know the underlying cause of your weight gain?

Where does it all go wrong, why do you always need to worry or feel guilty every time you have a treat? Why can’t your weight stay at a constant level so you can just get on and enjoy your life, without feeling conscious of your appearance?

Well, now is the time to take effortless control of your eating habits and enjoy permanent weight loss, improved health and lifestyle, eat what you want, look great, feel happy and never need to “go on a diet again”.

Most diets fail you because they do not address the underlying causes of your weight gain, resulting in yo-yo dieting. For you to make complete and permanent changes to your health and lifestyle, it is important to identify why you gained the excess weight that you now want to lose.

Most excess weight is from overeating related to emotional triggers. We eat when we are happy, when we are bored, fed up, anxious, angry, stressed and we even snack when we watch the T.V. or a film. Eating this way, when we are not physically but emotionally hungry, results in weight gain.

So what is the best way to lose weight?

The best way to lose weight and make permanent changes to your health and lifestyle is easier than you have been led to believe. You can lose 10, 20, 30 or more pounds with

New Year...a new diet!

2010-01-21T08:34:00.000-08:00

There are tons more. It makes my head spin! What works? What's fad? What's hype?

What has been your secret that has worked for you? Of course, different diets work for different people, but do you have anything to share that might help?

Off to drink my XXX Vitamin Water (acai-blueberry-pomegranate - 150 calories!) and get to work.

Happy New Year everyone! Here's wishing all of our readers a lovely, successful, awesome 2009! Thanks for sticking around with us...it's gonna be a great year!

As like so many of you, one of my resolutions is to lose weight. I'm happy to report that I'm down 18 pounds from this past summer and would like to lose an additional 22-ish pounds. My hubby and I bought an elliptical for the house as our Christmas present and the guys from Resolution Gym are coming to put it together today. Can't wait.

But there's more to losing weight than just exercise. We must eat right. No matter the hype with all of these diets...the science is really simple: consume less calories than you expend. Easier said than done...right?

So, I've been looking at a way to jump start the weight loss and reading up on all the fad diets. There are sooooo many of them!

Eat fruit, lose weight

2010-01-21T08:32:00.001-08:00

Weight Loss Tips Here is a list of foods that burn more calories than they contain. Called negative calorie foods, the following 15 treats actual require more calories to digest than they provide your body in energy. You still get vitamins and plenty of fiber. Up until I saw this list, the only one I knew about was celery. However this is also highly dependent on the speed of your metabolism. Putting these foods together is called a Negative Calorie Diet. Take for example – an orange, which may contain 50 calories, but requires 75 calories to digest. So for every orange you eat, you should burn off 25 calories. This is why advocates of the Negative Calorie Diet encourage you to eat frequent healthy meals, in doing so you are actually increasing the speed of your metabolism.

The Negative Calorie diet – Against:

No scientific proof to confirm its effectiveness
Very little information surrounding diet
More theoretical than practical

The Negative Calorie diet – For:

Little effort involved
Promotes consumption of foods rich in vitamins and minerals
Increases the body’s metabolism

Foods on the list – it seems like practically every fruit and vegetable can be found on one of the many lists.

Celery
Oranges, Tangerines, Grapefruit, Lemons
Mangos
Onions
Lettuce
Strawberries
Carrots
Apricots

Tomatoes
Cucumbers

Quick Fixes For Weight Loss Found To Be Dangerous

2010-01-21T08:32:00.000-08:00

Weight loss your New Year's resolution? If so, watch out for pills and packets that promise to shed pounds quickly and effortlessly. Just last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned consumers to avoid more than two dozen products marketed for weight loss because they contain undeclared ingredients that could pose serious health risks. The FDA stated that the products listed below (sold in some retail stores and on the Internet) claim to contain only "natural" or "herbal" ingredients, but actually contain (without listing on the label) various prescription medications. Some of the medications found in these products include: rimonabant (a drug not approved for marketing in the U.S.), phenytoin (an anti-seizure mediation), and phenolphythalein (a solution used in chemical experiments and a suspected cancer-causing agent)!
Fatloss Slimming, Japan Lingzhi 24 Hours Diet, 7 Day Herbal Slim, 999 Fitness Essence, Imelda Perfect Slim, Perfect Slim, ProSlim Plus, Slim Express 360, Superslim, Venom Hyperdrive 3.0, 2 Day Diet, 5x Imelda Perfect Slimming, 8 Factor Diet, Extrim Plus, Lida DaiDaihua, Perfect Slim 5x, Royal Slimming Formula, Slimtech, TripleSlim, 3x Slimming Power, 3 Day Diet, 7 Diet Day/Night Formula, GMP, Miaozi Slim Capsules, Phyto Shape, Slim 3 in 1, Somotrim, and Zhen de Shou.
Worth the risk? Absolutely not! These products are not only dangerous, but also provide no evidence of effective, sustained weight loss. Instead, spend time in 2009 reviewing the tools and resources provided by this and other reputable web sites on decreasing calorie intake (eating less) and increasing calorie expenditure (moving more).
For more information on how to recognize false weight loss products or to report a false claim, go to the Federal Trade Commission's Red Flag web site.

Weight loss reduces obese men’s sleeping problems

2010-01-21T08:30:00.000-08:00

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep apnea caused by the collapse of the upper airways during sleep. It is characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. Each episode (apnoea) lasts for at least 10 seconds.
Moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnoea (defined as 15 or more apnoeas per hour) carries an excess risk of motor vehicle crashes, heart disease and death. Yet only one study has examined the effects of weight loss on obstructive sleep apnoea.
Now, researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden have evaluated if treatment with a low energy diet reduces moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnoea in obese men.
The study involved 63 obese men (BMI 30-40) aged 30-65 years with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea who were being treated with continuous positive airway pressure (a mask designed to help breathing during sleep).
Thirty men received a liquid very low energy diet for seven weeks to promote weight loss, followed by two weeks of gradual introduction of normal food. The remaining men acted as a control group by adhering to their usual diet over the nine weeks.
At the beginning of the study, both groups had a mean apnoea hypopnoea index (AHI) of 37 apnoeas per hour. At week nine, the diet group had a mean AHI of 12 events per hour compared with 35 events per hour in the control group, theresearchers found.
The results also showed that the diet group lost an average of 18.7 kg in weight compared with 1.1 kg in the control group over the nine-week period. 22 out of 30 patients in the diet group were no longer obese at the end of the study, whereas all control patients remained obese.
Apart from that, the researchers also found that five out of 30 patients in the diet group were also disease-free by the end of the study, and half had only mild disease, whereas all patients in the control group except one still had moderate to severe disease.
The researchers concluded that treatment with a low energy diet improves obstructive sleep apnoea in obese men, with the greatest effect in patients with severe disease.
