How to Stay Well in Winter

Posted on 30. Dec, 2009 by Dr. Jason Fowler.

Simon and Garfunkel [and later, The Bangles] had it right. Winter light is hazy – it’s more diffuse. The sun is lower in the sky and the sun’s rays reach the Earth at an angle, losing much of their power. And of course, there’s less sunlight during each 24-hour day of winter than during the rest of the year.

All these facts make it more important during winter to ensure you are getting your daily dose of sunlight. Humans depend on sun exposure to satisfy daily requirements of vitamin D.1 Vitamin D deficiency is classically associated with loss of bone mass, and is also associated with rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and type 1 diabetes.2

Humans need sunshine. It’s not just a matter of aesthetics or a personality quirk like being a sun-worshipper. In Southern California and the rest of the Southwest there’s plenty of sunshine all year round. Everywhere else in the United States, though, direct sunlight is much harder to find.

Humans also need exercise. And, as time is a precious commodity for all of us, it makes sense during winter to exercise and get your daily dose of sunlight at the same time.

Doing aerobic exercise outdoors perfectly fulfills our requirements. Walking, running, and cycling get us out into the fresh air and sunshine. If you are used to riding a stationary bike or walking or running on a treadmill at home or at the gym, winter is the time to take it outside.

Your bones will benefit greatly by increased contact with direct sunlight. And, interestingly, your entire body will benefit from your new outdoors focus. Machines such as treadmills and stationary bikes are great – they make it easy to exercise. But there’s a big difference in terms of overall benefit when you’re actually riding a real bike up a real hill or running on a real surface that changes configuration on almost every step.

The difference relates to proprioception3 – your body’s response to physical changes in three-dimensional space. Bottom line, the more overall use you make of your body, the more you’ll benefit. Exercising outdoors provides whole-body training in ways machines never can.

The need to actively seek out sunshine during winter creates a wonderful opportunity to broaden our exercise horizons. Make sure to dress appropriately and to wear UV-protecting sunglasses.

Many affordable brands of high-performance sportswear are available that wick moisture away from your skin and provide good insulation. Layering is the way to go. You can remove layers as you get warmer. Wicking-and-insulating caps and gloves are also available. It is better to be a little too warm than a little too cold.

Be sure to consult with your chiropractor about the most effective forms of exercise for you. He or she will be able to help you design a customized exercise program that works for you.

It’s Day 12…The Half Way Mark on My HCG Diet

Posted on 30. Dec, 2009 by Amelia Handley.

I’ve been reading more diet reviews. It makes me feel better about the things that are tough for me; because they’re repeated over and over. One thing that I see repeated a lot in the diet reviews for HCG is that you should just try to stay home. The programs aren’t very long so it’s kind of feasible. And I absolutely agree that I’m much more likely to successfully complete the day if I am home when it’s time to eat. It’s my Day 12 on the diet. I’m in the midst of a 25 day program (homeopathic HCG through HCG Diet Direct). And I’ve got Lisa, a friend of mine, doing the diet with me simultaneously. We’ve got a side bet going to add some extra inspiration to do well! And I always like to win…

But I might not! Dang it! I’m doing great. And I’m happy with my weight loss so far. But I’ve hit a few road blocks.

Today I weighed myself. I took my HCG as necessary for breakfast and lunch and then I took my third dose in the evening. I’ve been noting my daily weight down as suggested on the pad of paper by my bed. I’ve only forgotten once so far and I think that is a fabulous track record. Today my weight went down one pound; which is great! I’m at 160 pounds officially. That makes 11 pounds of weight loss within 12 days of HCG dieting. According to the diet reviews I’m right on track to meet the weight loss averages.

I thought sticking to the diet would be easy once I started to lose weight. And while I like the weight loss and it makes me want to eat correctly…I wouldn’t say it’s easy. It’s tough. I should have known I was thinking too optimistically; I mean I did read diet reviews that warned me. But it’s helping me to identify “Do not enter” places. The first one I identified was the Mall Food Court. You already heard that story and I won’t bore you by telling it again.

The next place I now know I should NEVER enter while on a low calorie diet is a family party. My sweet niece’s birthday party was today. They were serving lunch so I didn’t eat before I left. Long story short…lunch was delayed; it because dinner. I was absolutely starving.

Waiting too long to eat is a definite problem. I’ve already noticed that. But this day was way worse than the sitting at home and didn’t make lunch until I was actually hungry day. I think my stomach was actually starting to eat itself. And then they served up barbequed sausage and turkey legs; which is absolutely fabulously yummy, but WHAT? Where was all the grilled chicken? Along with that I had the choice of Caesar salad or potato salad. I’ll cut the long story short and say…well, I did avoid the cake. That’s saying something, right? I should have paid more attention to those diet reviews before I put myself in the midst of a family party. I should have put some grilled chicken in a baggie in my purse or something. (Although that sounds really gross…)

Amelia Handley studied exercise science in college with a minor in Nutrition. Yet she still found herself veering from diet to diet in order to control her weight. With HCG Diet Direct she’s found a program that allows her to combine her desire to control her own body weight with her education and not feel off balance.

Secret To Controlling Weight The Hcg Diet Renton Washington

Posted on 30. Dec, 2009 by Jude Trapp.

If you want to lose weight quickly, the HCG Diet Renton Washington is a great way to quickly lose the weight that you want to lose.

HCG is a human hormone, Human Chorio Gonadotropin. This hormone is produced naturally in the bodies of both men and women and is highest in the bodies of pregnant women. The hormone is often used to increase women’s ovulation and men’s sperm count. In the diet, the injections are given daily.

According to the diet plan, sticking to this diet and taking the HCG on a daily basis, many participants have reported reaching their goal weight. Participants expect to lose one-half to three pounds every day when on the plan. The diet is very low-calorie and very high in fiber. In fact, participants can only eat 500 calories per day. They are not even allowed to wear make-up because of the fat that is in the ingredients.

The foods that are allowed are also from a very restrictive list. Breakfast is coffee or tea only. You may not use sugar and may have one tablespoon of milk for the entire day, so plan accordingly. Lunch and dinner may be selected from identical lists and includes just under a quarter of pound of very lean meat (100 grams, a select vegetable and an select fruit. In addition participants are allowed a cracker toast with the lunch and dinner meals.

The diet developers believe that the very low calorie diet and the hormone cause participants to lose weight immediately and not to suffer from nausea, headaches or hunger pains. Since HCG helps fat to be burned, the body gets the energy needed to avoid the starvation mode by use of the fat.

HCG can be administered either orally or through injection of the liquid. The hormone is injected just under the skin or into the muscle.

The theory behind the diet is that these hormones cause the hypothalamus to command the body to release fat from storage. That released fat is combined with the energy from the food you eat to give the needed energy for the day.

Once a dieter reaches his or her goal weight, the dieter needs to move into a maintenance phase, which is said to be very easy ofter living on the 500 calorie diet for this amount of time. This helps to maintain the weight that has been lost.

Before beginning this or any other diet, you should first talk with your doctor. There are certain risk factors that rule this diet out for certain people, so be sure that your body is able to handle this type of diet.

If you want to lose weight fast, hcg diet renton wa is a fantastic way to quickly lose the weight that you want to. hcg renton wa, now in you area!

Save the Planet

Posted on 30. Dec, 2009 by Dr. Jason Fowler.

Did you ever think your health and well-being are important factors in the health and well-being of the planet? It’s true. The choices each of us makes each and every day are important for our family’s welfare as well as the welfare of our neighborhood, our community, our city, our country, and our global society.

We don’t often consider that a healthy personal lifestyle – relating to fitness and nutrition – has an impact on the environment and the global biosphere. But our personal choices and actions do matter. Our life-affirming choices to get fit, be fit, and eat right affect everyone and everything around us. How you get to work is a perfect example.

Of course, most of us drive to work, as it’s a lifetime habit, and we do not even think about it. But, driving always produces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – every gallon of gas burned pumps 17 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Biking to work and walking to work are fitness-promoting activities that have a double benefit.1,2 You are exercising on your workdays and you’re actively helping to reduce GHG emissions and stabilize the Earth’s climate.

If it is too far to walk or bike to your place of employment, arrange to car pool with co-workers and walk or bike to their house on the days when you’re not the designated driver. Planting a garden or participating in the activities of a community garden is a health-promoting action step that has a triple benefit.

First, you are producing or helping to produce foods that are grown locally. Foods consumed in the United States travel an average of 1500 miles to reach your local supermarket. Foods grown locally eliminate almost all of the fossil fuel resources required to transport non-local items.

Second, you are adding really fresh vegetables to your family’s diet, providing vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals required for abundant good health.

Third, gardening is exercise – the kind of exercise people used to get when they did not sit in chairs at desks all day long.

The benefits of health-promoting activities keep on coming.3 For the most part, healthy people do not wind up in the local hospital emergency room. Resource saved include fossil fuels burned by high-speed ambulances, fossil fuels burned to produce electricity used to power life-saving medical devices, and energy utilized to produce the vast amounts of medical supplies consumed in an emergency procedure, including syringes, IV set-ups, and towels, wipes, and disinfectants.

To be a healthy individual as a member of a healthy family has a huge multiplying effect. Your chiropractor knows that all body systems are deeply interconnected and must work together to produce good health. So too are the many different living systems that make up Planet Earth. Your chiropractor can provide you with detailed information about good nutrition and good exercise that can help make a real difference in your health and the health of your community.

Ovarian Cyst Pain: Why Using Birth Control Pills Is Not The Answer To Eliminating Ovarian Cyst Pain.

Posted on 30. Dec, 2009 by Lisa Page.

Aside from that, birth control pills have a long list of negative side effects such as unexplained weight gain, high blood pressure, blood clots, gallbladder disease just to mention a few.

What about when you are ready to have some children of your own? It is impossible to keep using birth control pills and expect to get pregnant. So what do you do?

You need to get to the root cause of your ovarian cyst pain and eliminate it from there and not just treat the symptoms like birth control pills do.

How do you eliminate Ovarian Cyst Pain? One simple step is to stop taking oestrogen pills (birth control pills) as prescribed by your doctor and start applying natural progesterone cream.

How To Get Rid Of Those Man Boobs

Posted on 30. Dec, 2009 by Paul Marks.

I am at my wits end, short of surgery I’ve spent so many dollars in my quest to get rid of my man boobs and restore my confidence, this means I’ve tried many diets, exercises, and drugs. Whatever the cost, I would consider anything to help me get rid of my man boobs.

Exercising, bodybuilding and nutrition have been my areas of focus and study, and despite this, I wasn’t able to get much information on this subject. True sufferers of gynecomastia are few and a rarity. The majority of the physical fitness experts I have studied about never had to deal with man boobs in their whole lifetime.

As I’ve already gone through the drawn-out and difficult process of eliminating my man boobs, I can safely say that losing them is not as simple as following a standard fat-loss diet and exercise regime, but that isn’t to say that diet and exercise aren’t critical to success. Most people have overlooked the importance of hormonal balance.

Low testosterone production in the body is one of the major contributors to this problem. This causes you to develop feminine characteristics which causes your body to deposit more fat on your chest area.

As I already mentioned, diet is one of the main drivers to being able to lose man boobs although is not simply about watching what you eat. You need to develop a method around your meal plan so that you are able to alkalize your body and increase your metabolic process.

The other key determinant is exercising. The workout program should put more emphasis on exercises like the weighted squat which can boost testosterone levels. Try not to run to your local gym right away and start pumping out 1,000 squats, this may end up decrease your testosterone.

I have a lot of sympathy for sufferers. My man boobs have caused me many impediments and have made me to lose sight of much of the joy in this world. Even when I’m in a public mens locker room and remove my shirt others will stare at me, even though most do not intentionally do so I empathize your problem. Today, thanks to the advances of the internet, where enormous information on any topic imaginable is available, this is one issue that still hasn’t really been explored and there are only a few great products on the market designed for getting rid of man boobs quickly.

Dale writes many articles on how to lose man boobs fast and looks at the best way to get rid of man boobs.

Healthy Exercise Tips

Posted on 30. Dec, 2009 by Gary Gendron.

Have you been an avid fitness member participant for years?

Have you gotten results from these training sessions?

Many people have different reasons for going to a fitness club and engaging in various activities that range somewhere in the spectrum from aerobics (exercise which requires oxygen) and anaerobic (exercise that does not require oxygen) examples of these would be spinning classes and weight lifting respectively.

Some people go to the gym because they want to change their cholesterol profile, for example they want to increase their HDL, high density lipoprotein number, by engaging in aerobic activity that’s sustained at least for 20 minutes 3-5 days per week. Some people wish to build more muscle mass, so they lift weights to challenge the muscle fibers to breakdown and build at rest. Some people do it purely for aesthetic reasons and wish to change their appearance by redistributing their muscle to fat ratio and thus become slimmer. Others do it simply for social reasons. You might be able to identify these the easiest.

Albeit, the reasons listed above, I have always been intrigued with people I have observed to have exhibited no discernable outward changes in their appearance despite the fact they are in the gym/fitness center several times a week for years. This leads me to a personal theory that I will call “The Fitness Paradox.” I wish to explore this phenomenon further because one would think that the cumulative effects of exercise would bare the fruit of the effort and hours spent in the gym!

Basically, why don’t people change? They often start with a pledge of fitness January 1st, before or after major holidays, class reunions, or several summer months only to go back to their original state.

Oh, there are many theories, to why, but I have a series of observations that I have observed.

I have witnessed some people doing the same routine for years. They use the same order, same weights, the same machines, what do you think happens? They get the same results. If you find that you are not mixing up your routine with mixed repetitions, varying the different machines, pyramiding up the weight, increasing weight, or pyramiding down (decreasing the weight), using momentum (swinging the weight opposed to using the muscles in your body to move them) or practicing bad form, you won’t find a positive change. My recommendation to begin reading literature on working out properly and then invest in a qualified fitness instructor to help you reinforce proper form and range of motion that is appropriate for your body and desired goals.

This itself will not be enough. It leads to the next paradox. Why is it that those with a trainer sometimes never show changes? Well, it could be for several reasons, one very obvious one is that some people simply cannot work out alone because of lack of self confidence or loneliness. Recognition of this should help to eliminate it, because having a trainer should be an expedient means to an end. Confidence should become greater in proportion to the positive changes felt and seen by the client. My advice is, make sure you are using your trainer as you should. They are not your confidante and are not there for social reasons! They should help you attain your fitness goals. They should be attentive to your workout, not your conversation. I have observed people workout for an hour session with a trainer who has not corrected poor form on machines, and has not varied a client’s workout in weeks. (Some of these instructors may realize this and justify to themselves that they are providing a service by helping the client). In actuality, they are performing a disservice to their client. If you are experiencing this with yourself, you may want to address this tactfully with your instructor and ask them to vary your workout and reiterate your goals. If they are unable to do this, find a new instructor! It’s your life!

The next paradox is seeing the overweight person really working up a sweat, exercising at maximum capacity to 45 to 60 minutes, they never seem to change. I often wonder if they work out for the cardiovascular benefits or the social benefits and do not interrogate themselves as to why they are not seeing improvement! Without discounting any positive factors in weight loss, remember when weight loss usually occurs when calories consumed is less then calories expended. So…no matter what the physiological barriers that may impair weight loss, the end result remains because they did not expend enough calories for their body to utilize their fat reserve as fuel, toward their becoming fitter.

If you have experienced this for yourself – realize that you are eating too many net calories; probably this is not a conscience decision. I have heard many people who have “over exercised” to “over compensate” to lose weight. They cannot fudge the scale! They continue to exercise vehemently out of fear! Should they quit this new level of challenge, they fear they will tip the scale in the opposite direction!

Sometimes I see some of these individuals who are on this “never ending wheel” are actually increasing their appetite by over training! Then they find that they are consuming a net amount of calories that are greater than before they embarked any exercise they are engaged in! If this is the case, I would try to lessen the overall intensity and/or time interval and see if there is any decrease in the appetite. Or, another alternative is to become cognizant of your carbohydrate and choose those that are high in fiber and favorable sugars. Make sure you consume monounsaturated fats and low fat proteins concurrently with your meal to sustain your glucose levels from dropping and insulin steady.

The next paradox is that people will over exercise muscles on the weight machine. Remember that muscles build at rest, not when working out. Certain muscles, such as the largest muscle, the gluteus maximus, aka buttocks takes a longer recover period than a smaller one such as biceps ( or arm muscle). I see people work out and work out and work out the same muscle every workout without rest!

Along with rest is proper nutrition. If you do not fuel your body with proper nutrients, muscle growth will not occur. Taking this one step further, certain vitamins and minerals become essential to facilitate the biochemical changes in the body which will produce the outward changes that will be noticed by yourself and others.

So… being present physically in the gym is not enough! Intensity and frequency is not always the solution. The cliche, “Exercise smart” is a good recommendation. So is, “If you are doing what you’ve been doing, you are going to get what you’ve got.”

I hope I have planted a seed which may help you thin about how you can make some personal positive changes in your life and health. For more cutting edge information about weight loss, visit our weight loss website at http://www.SOSFormula.com

Yeast Free Diets – Alternative To Expensive Yeast Free Bread

Posted on 29. Dec, 2009 by Matt Bournston.

If you have recently started on a yeast free diet, you probably know how expensive special yeast free bread can be when you buy it in the shop. So what alternatives are there to these expensive shop-bought yeast free breads?

Well, the best advice I can give you is to bake your own bread using individual ingredients. Not only will this cost less, but it will also give you total control over what ingredients go into your bread. You will also be able to eat the bread fresh while it is still warm from being baked.

Here is a great recipe for you to make your own yeast-free bread.

What You Will Need:

* Olive oil or lard, for greasing

* 1 level tsp salt

* 9oz/250g plain flour

* 8fl oz/225ml buttermilk or live yoghurt

* 2 teaspoons of soft brown sugar

* 1 level tsp bicarbonate soda

How to Make the Yeast-free Bread:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 230C/445F. Grease a baking sheet with the oil or lard.

2. Sift the flour, salt, and bicarbonate of soda into the mixing bowl, then add in the sugar.

3. Mix the yoghurt or buttermilk into the mixture with a wooden spoon, and then kneed into a dough using your hands until it becomes firm and soft. If you think it feels too wet or sticky, simply add more flour to the mixture.

4. Gently kneed the dough in the bowl for about thirty seconds, until it becomes smooth, then mould it into a ball shape, making it as deep as you can. Place onto the greased baking sheet, then cut a deep X into the top with a knife. This allows the bread to expand when the soda starts to work.

5. Place the dough into the oven and cook for approximately 12 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 200C/400F and bake for a further 15 to 20 minutes. Once it’s ready, the bottom of the bread should sound hollow when tapped.

6. Allow the bread to cool for 15 minutes before serving.

There are still a lot of delicious, tasty foods that a person can eat once you have removed yeast. Eating a yeast free diet is actually a lot easier than you might think. For a FREE guide to living on a yeast free diet, visit Yeast Free Diets
