Eating fat burning foods for healthy weight loss

By Foong

If you want to reach your weight loss goals, you need to eat the right type of foods in a complete and nutritious diet. This does not mean you should limit your calories or that you should starve yourself. To effectively lose the extra weight, you only need to consume more fat burning foods and integrate it into a healthy, nutritious meal plan.

The ways to losing weight encompasses everything from a balanced and healthy diet of fat burning food to regular fat burning exercises. You not only need to eat right, you need to exercise right and even drink and rest right to achieve your goal in weight loss.

Although it is easier said than done, many dieters find it very hard to limit their calories or count calories. So, one of the easier ways to count calories is to eat mostly fat burning food. Now, what are fat burning foods? Can food really help you burn fat? Yes, if you eat the right kinds of food, it will actually help your body to rid itself of the excess fat. It is as simple as that.

You may be wondering if there are really foods that could help you lose weight. These fat burning foods are actually commonly found foods that you are probably eating already. And we are not even talking about diet pills or diet products and protein shakes. The foods that could help you lose weight are foods that you could possibly find in your fridge or cabinet.

An example of a fat burning food is oats. There are several types of oats and you should choose the organic rolled oats and oat bran. Oats are high in fibre so it could make you feel fuller longer and faster. This means it will in a way make you feel less hungry, suppress your appetite and thus, make you eat less. Oats are also known to bind with fat in your system and help your body flush it out of your system.

It would seem that foods that help you lose weight need not literally burn off fat as you eat it. It actually works in a different way by suppressing your appetite, keeping your stomach fuller, cutting down your cravings, regulating your blood sugar level and cutting down unwanted and unhealthy binges.

Green tea is a drink that could help you to lose weight. It is rich in anti-oxidants to give you more radiant and younger skin. It is also known to be heart healthy. Other than that, it has compounds in it that suppresses your appetite and not only that, consuming it will also help to boost your metabolic rate.

So, you see, there are a lot of healthy food choices that you should include in your diet so that you could effectively lose the extra pounds. Just remember to team your healthy diet of fat burning food with regular exercise and some resistance training to build muscles so that your body will continue to burn fat even as you sleep. - 17273

Know The Role Of Herbal Remedies

By Keith Woolley

Herbal supplements are gaining usability away from the other inorganic medications that have been common in the last one century. This switch is mainly due to the high cost of the inorganic medications from pharmacies, health shops and hospitals. While most of the herbal products may be approved by the health authorities, it is important to first consult with the physician before using them. Most of the herbal supplements can safely go well with other prescribed medications. However, it is recommended that you explain to the doctor or any other medical expert of any herbal product you are using before starting on any other medication.

The use of herbal supplements may depend on various conditions of your body. First, don't assume that since a product is labeled "natural" it is definitely a herbal supplement. Some of these products may have other components blended with them and may in the end have serious effects on your body. Therefore, before committing to any herbal supplement medication it is important to first have recommendation from a physician or any other reliable medical practitioner. Since herbal supplements work similarly to other drugs, they can have harmful effects if not taken as prescribed. If you take herbal supplements for instance in huge doses, they will ultimately have negative effects on your body just as in other inorganic supplements.

In addition, before administering any medicine to children, make sure you have read the label properly to be certain on the amount to be given because failure to do so may lead to dire consequences that could have been avoided. Herbal supplements may have different additives that are not known by the potential user. However, even though these products may be certified by medical practitioner, one should be cautious when taking them. You should purchase herbs that show the direction of use. You can find this information on most packets of herbal products.

The various herbal supplements have their specific uses in the human body. Some are taken so as to assist in boosting the digestion of food and other can be taken for building the body, with others aiding people who have low sexual libido. Other products can also be taken for healing of various diseases among them skin diseases, high blood pressure, sexually transmitted diseases among other many ailments.

Do not attempt to consume herbal supplement that has not been inspected and checked as they can cause harm to your body. In conclusion, herbal medicines can be taken instead of the existing inorganic treatment that is being used widely at present. - 17273

Reasons For Buying Organic? Beyond the Health Benefits

By Kiiera Succes Group

Weve all been told that organic food is better for us; it contains more minerals and less dangerous chemicals, but lots of people dont even stop to consider the benefits organic food has on our environment and on its producers. In addition to various other benefits, organic products put fewer pesticides, fertilizers, and other dangerous chemicals into the environment. This makes it beneficial for not only your family, but for other families now and in the future.

A major benefit of reduced chemicals from agriculture is an improvement in our soil quality. Organic farming works to build the soil naturally through companion planting and crop rotations. This works with the natural system to keep the soil healthy. Traditional agriculture uses chemicals to supplement soil; treating the symptom without treating the cause.

Do you think all the chemicals from agriculture end up in the plants or soil? Think again. Water from rain or irrigation doesnt all stay on the fields. It can run off into lakes, rivers, and streams. It can also seep deep into the soil and enter underground water supplies. And when this water leaves the fields, it takes all the dangerous chemicals with it. So even if you dont eat the food produced by traditional agriculture, you could still be getting these chemicals through your local water supply. And while many places control the amount of these chemicals, others cant. In many rural areas, the only available source of water is from the ground.

If youre concerned about the effect these dangerous chemicals might have on your family, think of the consequences of working with these chemicals every day. People who work on traditional farms are exposed to fertilizers and pesticides more often and in higher amounts than your family will ever be. There are many cases every year of people being poisoned with agricultural chemicals; accidentally and intentionally.

Pesticides can affect wildlife in the area. If you kill off all the bugs, the birds have nothing to eat. Then the animals that eat the birds will also have nothing to eat. If animals survive, but still have chemicals in their system, they can poison larger animals that eat them. Another factor is that not all insects are pests. Many pesticides also kill beneficial wildlife as well as the harmful inhabitants.

What may be the worst affect of traditional agriculture is that its other practices make the need for pesticides and fertilizers greater. Planting the same crop year after year can make your plants more susceptible to pests. Failing to keep the soil from washing away makes the new soil require more fertilizers so plants will grow. Traditional farming is taking no steps to reduce their use of chemicals, just to make them greater.

In addition to the benefits of chemical free agriculture, organic producers work with the environment as a system. They promote conservation of water and soil and strive to keep the land the way it is so future generations can work the land as well. - 17273

Will Fish Oil Help With Arthritis

By Dr. Bill

Yesterday I got a question about arthritis and fish oil. The person wanted to know what supplements to take and what foods to eat to ease her arthritis.

I always recommend eating foods as close to their natural state as possible. Whole grains, lean meats, vegetables, fruits, and some dairy are all good. Notice how processed foods didn't make the cut. No fast foods either.

At the grocery store, stick to these 3 sections: Meat/seafood/poultry, vegetable, and fruit. And you don't have to even touch the packaged products. Let them be.

That's a good goal, but often unrealistic. You are going to eat some processed food at some point. (Or maybe more than a bit.)

Keep in mind that the elements that provide real nourishment for your body, like enzymes, vitamins, fatty acids, minerals, amino acids, and other elements, are usually stripped from processed foods.

Inflammation can result from not getting these items in the needed amounts, especially fatty acids.

Long chain omega-3 fatty acids are essential to combating the pain and joint stiffness of inflammation. They do this by helping to block dietary omega-6 fatty acids, which are high in the Western diet.

Food manufacturers usually strip out the essential elements you need for a very simple reason. It's called "shelf life." They don't want their product to spoil, so they take these essential elements out to retard spoilage.

Eating the right kind of food isn't always easy. But what I've written about should help. - 17273

Vitamin B12 Deficiency Treatment

By Jared Hillman

The problem of a vitamin B12 deficiency is not very common in America nowadays as it is more linked to a bad nutrition. However, deficiency can appear also as a result of our body's inability to proper absorb the vitamin. It is important then to know the vitamin B12 treatments to avoid severe cases of deficiency.

The most common treatment on mild deficiencies is the use of over the counter supplementation. B12 can be found in the form of pills and you don't need any special medical prescription to buy it.

In severe cases however and in cases where there is malabsorption, the vitamin B12 treatment will include more serious measures like the use of intramuscular injections of B12 that must be applied for life and the inclusion of prescribed drugs such as prednisone.

Diet plays an important role in restoring the levels of vitamin B12 and is an integral part of any vitamin B12 deficiency treatment. The people who are at high risk of developing this condition include vegan people, pregnant/lactating women and infants.

This vitamin is mainly found on animal protein food such as poultry, meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. Vegan people have problems with this vitamin because it is not easily found in vegetables.

Infants and pregnant women are at a stage of life where they need higher intake of vitamins and nutrients. In all cases of people with high risks, it is important to add supplementation. Luckily for us, B12 is not needed in the body in high quantities.

If the patient has a problem absorbing the vitamin B12, diet is also very important. A person can't depend only in supplements if they have this problem. The same goes for patients who have deficiencies caused by an advanced age.

These are the most common treatments for vitamin B12 deficiency, keep in mind though that this article serves as a source of information. To get a proper diagnose you need to visit a doctor who will vary the treatment and doses of vitamin B12 according to your specific case. - 17273

Cardiovascular Fitness Over 40 and a Healthy Energy Drink

By Julieanne van Zyl

Cardiovascular fitness means the capacity of the body to give oxygen and blood flow to the muscular parts. "Can I improve cardiovascular fitness over 40?" is the question some people ask. The response is, "yes, you can." Over 40 cardiovascular fitness can be attained by, determination, patience, dedication and tough effort.

Although, it need not be difficult work because a healthy energy drink like Verve can assist. It will give you energy to keep you healthy by improving your immune system and reducing any inflammation around joints that you may get from new exercise and make it easier to exercise.

One must boost their physical activity enough to get their heart pumping and boost their respirations to obtain an enhanced cardiovascular system. This is not tough to do, but it is work, which many of us are not particularly keen on. This can be done through consistent efforts of exercise and a quality supplement like the Vemma mangosteen juice could assist you when your physical activity is increased.

Over the age of 40, people are taking more of an interest in their health. This could be out of fear, for health reasons, or the reason is they just want to look and feel better. Whatever the cause may be this is a very attainable expectation.

In their aim to boost their cardiac fitness most people are also looking to lose weight as well. If this is the situation, you will want to boost your cardio by exercising approximately 3 to 5 times a week for 20 to 40 minutes straight. You should begin slowly when first attempting this, beginning with the least requirement of 3 times a week for twenty minutes. This should gradually be increased, as you are able to tolerate, going up to 5 times a week for 40 minutes at a time.

You really do not need to attempt any cardiovascular fitness exercises if you are trying to put on weight, which I believe is the rare case. However, it will not affect your weight if you do just a mild workout of 20 minutes time at 2xs per week.

If you are just aiming to maintain your weight and enhance your cardio and you neither want to lose or gain weight, you can exercise for 20 to 40 minutes aboutthree times a week. This should be enough for this purpose.

For optimal cardiovascular fitness reasons heart rate has to be checked. For maximum weight loss you would want to aim for a goal and include a high-intensity workout in your plan.

In your cardio fitness workout you may include training with weights for even more success, but this should not be attempted until proficient in the basic cardio fitness regime. When this becomes less difficult to you then you can advance on to training with weights.

You should always ask your medical practitioner regarding any precautions or limitations that you should follow as with any exercise regime. Over 40 is not only highly possibly, but definitely an achievable goal in your health plan to improve cardiovascular fitness. - 17273

Naturally Avoid the Aging Process

By Sam G. Smith

Getting old, developing wrinkles, arthritis and other age-related diseases are inevitable. Being so, you may be apt to think that there isn't much you can do about it, but to let it run its course. Even though you can not prevent the occurrence of any of these things, you can delay their onset by adopting a healthy and happy lifestyle.

The obsession to live longer has led some people to find ways and means to come up with the perfect anti-aging formula, and what they did is to mix the Eastern medicine and supplements with those of the Westerns. There also natural human growth hormone (HGH) products available on the market today. HGH promotes tissue repair, cell regeneration in the bones, muscles and vital organs and support the human system in combating infection and diseases.

However, if you are already advancing in age there are steps and strategies you can use to delay the progression of the aging process.

Engaging in regular exercise and eating a healthy diet everyday will help you in achieving long and healthy life. Healthy diet and exercise will help you control your cravings for unhealthy food. Cravings are one of the main causes for obesity. If left uncontrolled obesity can lead to diabetes and heart problems.

Saturated fats will increase the chances of heart disease. To avoid heart disease, cut down on foods, such as meats, butter, cheese and milk products, that contain saturated fats.

Hamburgers, French fries, and similar other fried foods served in fast food restaurants are not only rich in saturated fats but also will create digestive system problems, because the system has to work a lot harder to process them. Instead of frying your foods, try baking them instead. Baking draws out the fats from the food, so your food becomes less greasy.

Just managing your diet alone won't help you slow down the progression of the aging process. You need to do some exercise. Small thing such as walking a short distance every day will make your feel better and gives you a healthy life.

So, if you do not want to get old all of a sudden, just have healthy eating habits, and exercise regularly --- these will delay the formation of age-related wrinkles! - 17273

Kids - Stomach Flu in Children

By Jan Maurer

Stomach flu or gastroenteritis is a kind of infection in the digestive system, especially the stomach and intestines. Causes for this condition are parasite, bacteria, or virus infection spread through contaminated food and fluids. It can also be caused by certain toxins present in some plants & seafood, usage of powerful laxatives in order to cure constipation or because of intake of poisonous heavy metal or food. The problem starts with stomach upset and cramps. The child shows disinterest in eating and feels week. Symptoms of stomach flu are diarrhea and vomiting, which take nearly five days to go away.

The child must be given fluids regularly as this will suppress other symptoms from emerging because of loss of water from the body. Loss of water and salt from the body is the biggest risk in stomach flu. Dehydration can not only worsen the condition, but can threaten the life of the child, if it isn't taken care of in the early stages. Since there is loss of salts along with the loss of water from the body, plain water won't do much. Oral rehydration solutions which are available at the local grocery or drug store, is a good idea because it has the correct combination of salts, sugar and water which can hydrate the body. These fluids come in different flavor, so that kids can have their favorite flavor and is easy to consume.

If a child is vomiting, solution can be administered to him using a teaspoon every two minutes. The quantity can be increased gradually. If the vomiting is more frequent, the child can be made to suck ice chips in order to supply constant fluid to the body. The solution should be given till diarrhea comes to a halt, but it is not advisable to continue it for more than twenty four hours. Some of the fluids such as soft drinks, sports drink, apple juice, tea, or chicken broth contain wrong amounts of salt, sugar & water and can make matter worse. Besides fluids, the parent shouldn't give any type of medicine without consulting a pediatrician.

Fried, spicy and sugary foods aren't good in this condition. If the child isn't receiving sufficient amount of fluids he/she will show signs such as sunken eyes, dry mouth, intense thirst, unusual sleep patterns, and decrease in urine.

The more the bed rest taken by the child the better it is. The child should take complete bed rest for at least twenty four hours or till the diarrhea and vomiting stops. If the child has fever, the temperature should be checked and noted in a log, every four hours. If the temperature is very high and doesn't stop climbing, the doctor should be contacted immediately. The mortal who is preparing and serving food to the child should wash his or her hands very carefully before doing so. Also, if the diarrhea and vomiting doesn't stop after twenty four hours, it is a must to get a doctor's appointment. The child should be rushed into emergency if the vomiting contains blood or green color substance.

The doctor, after doing stool and blood test, prescribes antibiotics if infection is suspected. Along with it, anti nausea medicines are also given to stop the throwing up and control fluid loss. If there is considerable loss of fluids from the child's body, the child might be admitted into the hospital and will be administered with fluids such as glucose or IV, through a tube connected to the child's veins. If the child has fever, temperature is checked and the doctor would ask about information about the temperature pattern, for which the parent should be ready. If the illness is stretched for days, a log about the information about the regular weight should also be given to the doctor. Sometimes, the blood oxygen levels would also have to be checked with the help of a pulse oximeter. - 17273
