Weight Loss Searches

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Hundreds upon hundreds of people have at one time or another struggled to lose weight. It’s a really important issue for many since society places such value on being thin. Do you realize that over 300,000 people a month search the Internet using the term weight loss?

Billions of dollars have been spent on herbal weight loss products and the weight loss industry is making money hand over fist. Oddly enough, even though there are all these natural remedies for losing weight on the market, obesity is on the rise. People and children are fatter than ever. The natural weight loss remedies gear themselves to people just like this - praying on their dreams to be thinner, their frustration at not being able to lose and their confusion over what will or will not work for them.

If you have ever read any of the labels for natural weight loss products (such as for fahrenheit diet pill or xenadrine rfa1), you’ll likely realize more than half the ingredients have names you likely do not recognize. And most definitely you will not know how they interact with one another, and with any drugs you may be taking. That’s the bad news. The good news is you can lose weight, but you need to do it the old fashioned way - change your diet and get exercise. There is simply no way around that.

Back to reading labels, and trying to figure out what is in the product you are looking at. Many of the over-the-counter weight loss products have a variety of herbal diuretics in them, and most of them are derived from caffeine (which is a stimulant). Some of them have juniper seeds (can cause renal failure), equistine (a neurotoxin - can cause brain damage), horse tail or shave grass (convulsions/hyperactivity). There is also dandelion, hawthorn and green tea.

By themselves, herbal diuretics don’t provide enough water shedding to give you an effective water weight loss. And while not considered to be toxic (on their own) when mixed with a variety of other compounds they can have serious interactions with drugs you may be taking already to achieve weight loss (like Lasix). In addition if you are on lithium or digoxin herbal diuretics have a history of interacting with these medications.

Herbal diuretics trick you into thinking you are getting thinner. You’re not. You are merely losing water weight. If you take these kinds of products too long, the loss of water will leach sodium and potassium from your body. The best method to achieve the same effect is drink lots of purified water. You’ll lose excess water weight, hydrate your skin, and get other health benefits.

Gain Pounds as You Age?

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Wasn’t the USDA the same government agency that told us in its 1990 Dietary Guidelines that we could gain a few extra pounds as we got older without risking our health? Didn’t millions of aging baby boomers breathe a sigh of relief as they drove their Jeep Cherokees to the department store to stock up on Dockers relaxed fit slacks? The fact is that the guidelines are based on science. And in the 1990 guidelines, the higher weights were due to recent research that suggested that people could gain wieght as they age. We gave a little warning at the time that, hey folks, this might change indeed.

Getting Rid Of Thigh Fat

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

The mistake that most people make when attempting to reduce fat on their thighs is in expecting immediate results. Fat deposits around the thighs are always among the last to go. To lose thigh fat, it is important for the body to use up all the sources of carbohydrates, which will be metabolized to form energy. Only after the body is depleted of these sources, will it turn to the deposits in the thighs. It is important to lower the overall fat content of the body and there are no region specific exercises that can be suggested to reduce fat in the thighs alone. There has to be a complete reduction of calorie intake in the body. This will help in getting rid of thigh fat.

No Medication Needs for My IBS

Monday, May 25th, 2009

After suffering with Irritable Bowel Syndrome for years, I knew that there must be a relief for me out there somewhere.  Little did I know that the relief that I was looking for was just right under my nose.  What I was eating was directly linked to how my bowels acted and reacted.  Some foods would send me to the restroom over and over for house.  Others made no difference and let me with a happy disposition.  The irritable Bowel diet that made a difference for me was one that was high in fiber, low in fat and caffeine.  The caffeine especially made me feel worse!  But now that I know the key is what I put in my mouth, I’m able to control my IBS with food, not with medication.

4 Stages for All Types of Bone Cancer

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

There are two type of bone cancers that a doctor can diagnose. The first is called a primary cancer; the other is called secondary cancer. Cancers come in many forms and are labeled in different stages from a diagnosis of stage 1 to the worst case scenario of cancers in stage 4. Being diagnosed with stages 1, 2 or 3, doctors are able to give their patients a fighting chance. Unfortunately, with stage 4 cancer, your disease has usually spread to too many different parts of your body making it extremely difficult, if not impossible to end up beating the disease.  Secondary bone cancer is one that generally is treated easier than more advanced of sarcomas.
