Food Emergency

By Eric Vanderham

The idea of not having enough food for emergency preparedness can keep many of us awake at night wondering about our procrastination in storing enough food for our families. Many of us live in developed countries, but natural disasters, power outages, even volcano eruptions, earthquakes and blizzards will easily deter people from reaching town and having access to food. The ability to have enough cash on hand or be able to use a debit or credit card may not be feasible during disaster times.

Some people spend a lot of time buying, packaging, labelling and storing food for long-term solutions for emergency preparedness. I cannot disparage these efforts as the intentions are good. The problem is that the food quality and safety expires and the family has to eat the supplies prior to that time, and replace those foods. There are many of us who do not have the time nor the inclination to plan and package staples, yet we have a constant vague worry about how poorly prepared we are for a food emergency.

What I've found is a lot of food available that is prepared for much longer storage life such as 5 to 10 years, even up to 25 years. Freeze dried food, MRE's, these foods are what military personnel carry with them. For those of you unfamiliar with MRE's, they are individual pouches of food ready to slip into an MRE heater. THe heater is also a slim disposable holder that requires only one tablespoon of water to heat the MRE meal that you slip into it. The MRE will provide nutritious meals that are most tasty hot than cold, which is why you want the MRE heater with you. At about .99 for the heater, you can see what I'm talking about. The heater is not a piece of bulky equipment and does not require fuel.

I am explaining this in detail as many of us have never heard of MRE's or the MRE heater. The meals keep best in 75 degrees farenheit or less and will last 5 years or so in hotter climates, longer in cooler storage. You can understand why the military finds these so valuable.

You can buy a box of MRE's for a 30 day supply, which will provide one person 2000 calories per day of meals. That supply also includes 30 MRE heaters to go with it, depending on what company you order from. I'm so impressed with these, they take the guess work out of long-term food supplies, they eliminate the need for power or drinkable water to heat up the food, they are lightweight but full of excellent food, and they last for years. How fantastic is that. You can carry them with you on hiking or wilderness expeditions, if for no other reason than ensuring you are not without food if you are lost or stuck in bad weather. You can keep a box in your home for easy evacuation.

There are also containers of freeze dried meals that last from 20 to 30 years, so once you have bought these, you will have taken care of your food supply. You can start storing cans of meals bit by bit until you have the variety of different meals you would want with you. One can has nine servings and indicate that it is lactose free, shellfish free, pork free, etc., Prior to ordering them, you will be able to see the nutrition facts, the ingredients, and how many servings it will provide.

Freeze dried food seals in the nutrients and are preferred over dehydrated foods. They keep the taste, texture and shape, they keep the nutrition, vitamins, fibre, color of fresh frozen foods. Some examples of the meals you may buy: vegetable stew with beef, chicken and rice, spaghetti and meat sauce, chicken a la king, beef stroganoff, vegetarian meals, beef or chicken teriyaki, lasagna with meat sauce, sea food chowder, incredible assortment of desserts, individuals cans of specific side dishes such as fluffy white rice, sweet corn, green beans, the list goes on and on.

You can see that you don't have to be eating boring beans and canned soup every day, nor do you have to worry about the expiration date. One man reported that the crackers he tried after 25 years of storage were still very tasty. There are also single and two-pack pouches of freeze dried food for travel, hiking, camping, etc. Best sellers are Beef Stroganoff, Lasagna/Meat Sauce, Beef Stew, Chicken Teriyaki, Eggs/Bacon. Happy Eating! - 17273

Fat Loss - Strength Plus Length

By Dan Solaris

There are a number of ways to get fit and lose weight- cardio exercises, dieting, resistance training, sports, or any combination of these. It's just a matter of finding the right combo of exercises that fits a person's schedule, physical capacity and preferences.

Most of us are aware that no fat-loss workout regimen would be complete without some form of cardio exercise thrown in. The challenge for most people is choosing the right mix that will keep them exercising consistently, prevent hitting a plateau and getting bored. Dull workouts lead to skipped workouts which in turn results in slow fat loss.

The effectiveness of the Pilates method for fat loss is relatively unknown to the general public, but it just might be the solution to the frustrations of 'physically challenged' masses. Pilates is a low-intensity system of exercises which focuses on the center muscles or the core of the body where most body fat is concentrated.

Pilates exercises can also be light enough to be able to help elderly fitness buffs and those with minor injuries stay in shape. After just a few sessions, one will notice a significant improvement in the body's flexibility, posture and mental alertness.

Cardio combined with strength training is the most common exercise program prescribed for fast and effective fat loss. Incorporating Pilates sessions with these will improve fat-burning efficiency of your workouts even more.

Along with cardio exercise, resistance training through free weights or machines is needed in a good fat-loss exercise program because the extra muscle tissues help fight flab. Muscle development can lead to stiffness of however and this is where the stretches and joint-loosening moves in Pilates can come in handy.

The focus of Pilates exercises, the core muscles, incorporate the abdominal, lower back buttocks and oblique muscles on our sides. Working these out all in one time means more physical effort, more calories burned, more fat lost in less time. A strong core means a more solid foundation for the body and thus better balance and resistance to sprains and injuries.

Maintaining proper metabolism means conditioning the body to maximize expenditure of caloric energy. Toning-up muscle tissue through consistent limbering movements significantly raises the level of metabolism, making it easier to lose calories from body fat. - 17273

Fat Loss Exercise - Get Organized

By Jose Loni

Get organized! Exercise for fat loss is easy if you follow a plan. Exercising for fat loss is achieved by increasing your metabolism, by healthy eating, regular physical activity and stress management. Organizing a plan is the best way to keep a consistent schedule and exercise for fat loss.

Monitoring our diet helps increase your metabolism. It is a good way to watch your caloric intake. Avoid high calorie foods like sodas, hamburgers, fast foods, donuts and fatty foods. If your body is not able to use up all those calories, it is stored as fat.

A great way to kick-start your system is to eat several small meals throughout the day. These smaller meals allow you to limit your calories and at the same time keep your body's energy levels stable. It is also a great way to make your body burn more fat, when the body burns the calories we eat, it will make the body burn the excess body fat to fuel the exercise activity.

Having a consistent exercise schedule makes our body adapt to the regularity of exercise. The increased lean body mass that occurs makes the muscles increase their metabolic activity and further burn excess body fat.

Activities such as resistance training, interval training and training with exercises that target multiple joints, have been shown to burn fat and increase the body's metabolism. With an increased metabolism, the body is forced to replenish and nourish the muscles. This increased muscular activity causes the muscles to continuing burning fat well after the body has finished exercising and the body becomes very proficient at fat burning.

Decreasing stress levels is a key factor at preventing further fat storage on the body. During times of stress, the body increases its production of Cortisol, which is a hormone that is secreted and causes storage of fat in the abdomen. This fat is stored in the abdomen to be used as a source of energy at a future time.

By watching our stress levels, we can help decrease our stress. Activities like meditation, deep breathing, tai chi and yoga have all shown to reduce stress levels and prevent excess fat storage.

Having a plan is the first step to success in fat loss. It allows you to follow a daily guide, which keeps you on target and motivated. When you have a plan, the chances of success are greater and you can track your progress. If no progress is made, the plan can be reassessed and modified to help get the results that you want.

An exercise plan for fat loss is a simple step-by-step plan to increase your metabolism, by watching your diet, planning regular exercise, and not stressing out over things. These factors are the keys to fat loss and getting you that flat stomach. - 17273

Healthy Food Choices " Where it All Begins

By Thong M. Dao

I know it's hard to prepare healthy food meals for your families, when you do not know where to start. But it's easier than you think. Start out by choosing the most healthy foods, then create a healthy eating menu and healthy meal plans.

Here's a list of healthy food choices.

1. Grains. We should consume 6 ounces of grains per day. To do this, we can eat whole grain cereals, breads, rice, crackers, or pasta. We can get an ounce of grains in a single slice of bread.

2. Vegetables. These should be varied, as we should eat two cups and a half of them each day. We should start eating more of the dark vegetables, such as broccoli and spinach. Carrots and sweet potatoes are good as well. We should also eat more dry beans like peas, pinto beans, and even kidney beans.

3. Fruits. 2 cups daily will do just fine. Fruit juice is great, but keep it to a limit. Fresh fruits are always the best choice.

4. Milk. Hmm.... We all know that milk does good to the body as it is high in calcium. Adults should aim at 3 cups and young children 2 cups a day. Lactose-free products are also available for those who dislike or are allergic to dairy products.

5. Meat. Eating 5 ounces a day is great, and we should go for lean protein. When eating meat, remember to bake, grill, or broil it, as this will prevent grease from adding to the equation. Try to vary our protein as well, with more fish, beans, peas, and nuts.

When cooking food, don't forget to limit solid fats such as butter, margarine, shortening, and lard. These may add flavor to our dishes but they can also raise our cholesterol as well. Therefore, it's advisable to limit these foods and any foods that contain them.

The nutrition label on the back of each product will give you information about saturated fat, trans fat and sodium content. Keep your intake of these as low as possible.

Healthy food meals, along with exercise, will develop your healthy lifestyle. That's exactly what your body needs. So before you pick up that candy or fried foods, ask yourself: "Is this a healthy food choice? - 17273

Fat Loss And Core Strength - The Impatient Fitness Enthusiast

By Dan Solaris

Ask any gym buff what the most difficult part about working-out is and chances are they'll say it's losing fat quickly. A major detriment to working-out consistently is boredom brought about by lack of motivation. Of course, results will come even slower by skipping gym sessions regularly.

In muscle development and fat loss, how fast we achieve results have less to do with body type (ectomorph, endomorph, etc.) than how we eat and exercise. Losing weight from body fat reduction really depends on how much excess calories we have when we hit our pillows at night.

Any fitness expert will tell you that the problem of fat-loss comes down to creating a calorie deficit- burning more calories than we take-in through food each day. Due to the sheer number of novelty diets and workout schemes out there however, they will not always tell you the fastest way of getting lean and forming a shredded six pack.

Exercises that focus on the core muscles have been found to be highly-effective in facilitating rapid fat-loss and development of a lean midsection. Core exercises get the muscles of the abdomen, waist, lumbar region and the thighs working together and developing these enhances balance and total body strength as well as get rid of subcutaneous fat.

Working-out the core muscles simultaneously means a greater number of calories burned and hence faster fat loss. This is the perfect workout method for people like myself that get impatient easily when not seeing tangible effects from my labors.

It's quite difficult to work-out the core muscles effectively by doing conventional exercise programs. Utilizing exercise balls and similar aids with unstable surfaces can enable an individual to really get the core muscles working.

Exercises designed to develop all-around core strength like Pilates or Swiss ball exercises develops the much often neglected obliques and transverse abdominus as well as the upper and lower abs. A concerted effort from these several muscle groups translates to more usage of energy rapid results from your workouts.

Increasing the efficiency of your exercise sessions by maximizing calorie burn can shorten the hours you spend in the gym- letting you focus on other priorities. Improving your core-strength will also lessen back pain and injuries from bad posture at the same time giving you a lean, well-defined abdomen. - 17273

6 Pack Abs - The Lifestyle

By Dan Solaris

Everyone that has ever tried to get lean and maintain sexy 6 pack abs knows it's no joke. A washboard stomach is a result of dedication, hard work and a tremendous amount of self-discipline. It is a product of a constant battle against laziness, self-indulgence and body fat.

Getting rid of excess body fat and developing a nice set of 6 pack abs requires self-control and focus. Avoiding foods with useless calories like candies and fries and choosing healthier alternatives will help significantly in the fight against flab. Starting a fat-busting workout program and exercising religiously is also a must if you want 6-pack glory.

It's not as difficult as it sounds however. Contrary to what most people think, a diet for 6 pack abs doesn't entail munching on rice cakes and swigging non-fat milk every day. It's actually more beneficial to eat a full, well-balanced meal three times a day- with snacks in between.

A balanced diet that includes protein, carbohydrates, dairy products and fruits and veggies will ensure you the proper amounts of nutrients. Eating lots of the latter will particularly load your system with fiber and folic acid- proven effective in lowering deadly LDL cholesterol and homocysteine (a proponent in heart disease) respectively.

Cutting back on calories and skipping meals is a big no-no because this causes metabolism to drop. A slow metabolism inhibits our body's ability to burn calories throughout the day. For this reason, breakfast is a must. Munching on healthy snacks like granola bars, nuts and fruit will also keep you from getting famished and eating too much during lunch or dinner.

When we let ourselves go hungry and try to make-up for it on the next meal, we stuff our tummies beyond its normal capacity. This, when done enough times will result in an ugly outsized belly- the very thing we're trying to avoid.

Dietary enlightenment would be nothing without calorie-burning physical activity, of course. Burning a larger amount of calories than our bodies take in each day is the only way to ensure fat-loss and a lean stomach. Doing the proper exercises that have been proven to be the most efficient in burning and keeping body fat in check will let you shorten your workout time- loosening your schedule.

A combination of body weight aerobic exercises like running or biking, core-strengthening workouts using a wobble board or an exercise ball and conventional bodybuilding have been found to be the best in burning the most calories in less time. The more calories burned, the more fat eliminated and a flatter, leaner midsection will result. - 17273

Toned Abs In 2 Months

By Dan Solaris

People generally hold those with well-build physiques and tight, toned abs in high regard. In this day and age, being able to maintain a fit body with tightly toned abs takes a great deal of will-power and dogged determination. Having a lean, healthy physique can do wonders for self-confidence and improve one's outlook on life.

Six pack abs are becoming harder to come by in the present fast food culture we live in because of combination of things- extra hours at the office, sedentary lifestyles and irregular sleep patterns. All these contribute to the excess fat tissues that 66% of Americans are carrying around.

Companies that promote and sell fad diets and weight-loss products are raking in big bucks because people are desperate to get in shape- quickly. Yet, over 60% of people in the U.S. are still overweight.

A great number of those that take-up aerobics and weights classes give-up after a few months because of slow gains from their efforts. Most of the time, it's because they're not maximizing their workouts for rapid calorie-burn.

Most folks are mistaken in thinking that abdominal exercises like sit-ups, v-ups and leg raises are the fastest way of getting a tight six pack. Focusing too much on strengthening the upper and lower abdominals puts undue strain on the lumbar area- causing back pain or even injury. Doing anatomically balanced exercises at high intensities while adopting a healthy diet will get you a flatter, more chiseled abdomen in 8 weeks!

It would come as a surprise to a lot of dieters that fat-loss and toned abs can still result from intense exercise alone- without cutting back on calories. The process would take longer however, so it would be wiser to refrain from going through the candy and cookie aisle at the grocery. Making it a point to eat more fruit and vegetables that are rich in fiber and nutrients can also hasten body fat burn.

Having a tight schedule doesn't have to be a hindrance to getting a toned physique. Slightly modifying conventional cardio and muscle-building workouts can increase the amount of calories spent and shorten your workout sessions. Involving all of the core muscles instead of just the rectus abdominus will require more energy and a more efficient workout.

Doing total body resistance exercises with little rest in between can let you reap the benefits of calorie-busting cardio exercise while promoting muscle growth which raises our metabolic rate. Metabolism dictates how much calories our bodies burn throughout the day, so keeping this up with intense exercises and proper rest in between workouts will result in a tight and toned abdomen in 2 months or even less! - 17273

Fat Loss And Core Strength - A Stable Base Gets Better Results

By Dan Solaris

Life as we know it these days has become more complicated and this has made our list of daily 'to dos' longer. Indeed, the tight schedule most of us keep each day prevents us from maintaining a healthy lifestyle and this is evidenced by recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that says 66% adults in the U.S. are overweight.

The rich, delicious food we have at our disposal 24/7 is also adding to the health crisis facing millions of urban dwellers having trouble with their waistlines. It's very easy for us to grab a few jelly donuts or a heaping plate of chili fries with nary a second thought because ours has become a culture of high-calorie fast food.

Like it or not, the fast food culture is here to stay and it's up to us to practice self-control and stuff our faces with healthier alternatives. Replacing our favorite dip chips with fruits and nuts, mayonnaise with mustard or catsup and yogurt desserts instead of ice cream can do wonders. However, burning-off the excess calories by making it a point to exercise consistently is the most effective weapon to quickly eliminate excess body fat.

Since time is an issue for most people these days, choosing workouts that have the highest efficiency in using-up energy is the key. Countless studies have been done and it's been found that there is a way to burn enough calories each day to bring about fat loss without spending most of your post-work hours in the gym.

Our body packs on the pounds when we regularly consume more calories than we need for our daily activities. Those ugly love handles are filled with stored energy in the form of fat tissue and the only way to get rid of it is by creating a calorie deficit each day.

Experts discovered that high intensity interval training (a combination of 2 types of cardio exercises) consume the most energy in less time. Since we also have to increase our body's metabolism and cannot rely solely on cardio exercises for sustainable fat loss, modifying our muscle-building routines to maximize calorie-burn is also a good technique for achieving rapid fat loss.

Core strengthening exercises are perfect for increasing the amount of caloric energy our bodies use up while developing muscle tissue. Working our body's base- our thighs, buttocks, abdomen and lower back muscle all at the same time will enable us to burn calories faster while improving our posture, balance and endurance.

There are several ways to engage our base muscles and speed-up fat-loss in our workouts. Standing on one foot, while doing curls and presses, or using a Swiss ball as a platform in abdominal exercises will result in instability. The effort made by the core muscles in keeping the body steady results in a more intense workout, a more stable base and ultimately speedier fat loss. - 17273

Easy Steps to Fitness Over 40

By Thong M. Dao

There's no doubt that organizations, medical professionals and people in all walks of life discuss fitness over 40. Middle-aged people may sound off about not being able to climb stairs any longer because of uncomfortable knees.

You may know someone who has been previously diagnosed with coronary disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, or raised blood pressure.

Reduce the risk of illness, lower stress, and improve overall health with fitness programs. Increased physical fitness will result in the muscle strength to support joints and lessen pain related to arthritis.

Sadly, 25% of the population in America are not physically active and 60% do not get the recommended amount of physical exercise. These statistics are gradually raising the number of people suffering from stress related diseases such as heart disease, stroke, elevated cholesterol, diabetes and raised blood pressure.

"Fitness over 40" programs don't always begin in the gym, however, and physical activity is only worthy when it raises your heart rate for at least 30 minutes. The options are endless because in just 30 minutes, you could jog or bike with your kids, exercise in front of the TV, jump on a trampoline or whatever.

If you are over 40, you need to think about the affect it will have on your current nutrition and habits as well as your ability to make the necessary changes.

It's a must to add more vegetables, fruit and whole grains to your meals if you're over 40 and want to stay fit. You may even benefit from a consultation with a dietician who can help you slowly ease into a healthier diet.

A way to improve your health immensely is to eat 5 - 7 servings of vegetables and fruit, drink 8 to 10 glasses of water as well as to lessen the amount of white flour consumed per day.

Exercise is essential but depends on the structure of diet, nutrition, and everyday habits to boost your health. Your fitness program can consist of cardiovascular and weight training.

Practicing cardiovascular routines can be applied to bicycling, running, walking, swimming, trampoline, exercise ball, or skipping rope. Mix the exercise up a bit and do it with friends because you'll have more fun and you'll stick with it longer.

If you do strength training, remember to skip a day before executing it again. As an example, if you train on Monday, you'll be able to do it again on Wednesday.

Either at home or at the gym, do your strength training at least 3 times a week. It will lessen your risk of osteoporosis, improve the support of your joints and give you a trimmer figure. - 17273

Get Great Abs Fast With A Laser Targeted Exercise Program

By Jose Loni

Stuff that works! It's true; get great abs fast with a method that actually works. This method is a general training program that has such precise results that it's like a laser that cut and sculpted your abs. You don't directly work your abs, but rather you train your whole body to increase its metabolism to get the abs that you want.

Whole body exercises allow your body to burn fat effectively. Increasing your body's metabolism will make your abs visible and more defined. This type of training will kick start your body's fat burners and burn larger amounts of calories.

The ab exercises and machines that we see advertised don't work because they are focusing on the principle of spot reduction. Those exercises will get your abs stronger, but they won't give you defined abs.

Scheduling a program that works is the best way to start. Plan a program of exercise 5 times per week. Then make sure the exercises focus on multi-joints and many muscle groups per movement. Increase your exercise intensity at each session to really force the body parts to burn large amounts of calories.

A sample workout can be incorporating chin-ups, squats, lunges, push-ups and split squats. Doing these exercises at high intensity for 20 seconds, then continuously doing each exercise and resting only after the last exercise. This sequence of exercises can be done 6 times each workout.

The number of training sessions throughout the week have a cumulative effect on the amount of calories that the body consumes. The more often you exercise, the more calories the body will burn and the more the body will need to work repairing and replenishing the muscles to prepare them for the next bout of physical activity. This results in the body burning the fat to provide more energy to the increase metabolism.

Training with a greater intensity will force your body to really adapt and cause metabolic changes that will require the body to burn more fat. The body burns more calories so it will need to convert the excess fat from the body to provide the necessary energy to the muscles.

The stuff that really works for great abs are kick starting your metabolism. Turning your body into a fat burning machine will get you the results that you want fast. - 17273

Ten Sensible Ways to Reduce Your Waistline.

By Drew Wellingham

So the diet isn't necessarily working? Don't despair. Losing weight is as much changing your mindset as it is anything else. If you can read a nutritional label, you can drop those unwanted pounds. And don't use the excuse that it was just too late to cook. You can whip up something quickly that's better for you than all the trans fats you'll be taking in at Jack-In-the-Box. Here are 10 sure-fire ways to help shed those love handles:

1. Scale WAY back on the cake, soda, ice cream, etc. No, a piece of cake for Grandma's birthday isn't going to do significant damage. But if you're trying to drop some pounds, why would you risk it? These processed foods often contain extra fat and sugar that you may not even be aware of -- even if you read the labels.

2. Get off the sofa. The more idle you are, the more apt you are to convert those empty calories to fat. Even if your health prohibits anything too strenuous, a leisurely walk around the block will help. I'd ask my doctor first, though; especially if you have any concerns.

3. Know your fat-to-carb ratio. It's not necessarily just fats or just carbs that lead to weight gain. It's a combination of both. Obviously, if the intake of both is high, you'll gain weight. Figure out what's best for you. I'm not saying to eliminate both completely, as that's not good either, but begin to slowly scale back on one or the other until you start to see the results you want.

4. Lessen the fat. Start buying leaner meats such as chicken, ground turkey, pork, etc. Invest in a pair of kitchen scissors. I use mine all the time. Before I cook chicken, for example, I remove all the visible fat. It really does make it much leaner. And the less you rely on fried foods, the better.

5. Scale back on the sweets. As I said earlier, a piece of cake or pie every so often certainly won't do major damage. But if you have a sweet tooth, you have to discipline yourself to limit how much sugar you're ingesting.

6. Watch your alcohol consumption. This relates to the previous paragraph. Lots of sugar.

7. Eat less, but more. Huh? Eat 3 or 4 meals a day, but less at each meal so you feel satisfied. Make sure each meal contains the same amount of fat and carbs. This will also assure you maintain your blood sugar level.

8. Occupy your time. Get yourself a hobby. If you have something that will divert your attention, you'll have less time to think about food.

9. Eat more fruits and vegetables. The more you eat, the less likely you'll be to want processed foods. Okay, you'll probably still WANT them, but you'll be less likely to eat them. The more natural the food, the greater the fat-burning quality.

10. Eat less, but don't go hungry. Eating low fat tends to make you less satisfied. Don't give in to the temptation. If you have to snack, pick things that are low in fat or carbs. If you're disciplined enough to follow these 10 rules, you shouldn't have difficulty shedding the pounds.

Just be diligent in your efforts, and you should see drastic results in a matter of weeks. - 17273

Acai Fruit Berry Producing Antioxdants Prove Heplful to the Brain Studies Conclude

By Dr. Jerimiah Crossderd

Scientist have discovered that the brain's appetite area uses fat fuel by adding free radicals molecules that have been associated to aging and Nero degeneration.

The findings were published in the magazine, Nature and provide evidence that antioxidant foods like acai berry fruit are critical when it comes to weight control.

The documents principal authors were Sabrina Diano and Tamas Horvath-two associate professor and professor, at the Building of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences and Neurobiology.

Horvath also maintains a chair known as the Section of Comparative Medicine.

In contrast to the widely held traditional view, the brain does use fat as fuel, the research concluded that the regulation of appetite is regulated by toxic free radicals.

This means that if free radicals are bothered, this has a direct correlation to controlling eating and digestion.

Studies also showed a loss of one's maximum life span when the individual goes after a sensation of feeling full.

Most of these dangerous free radicals are created when satiety producing brain cells are active.

The researchers used mice to conduct and determine how the human brain uses neuronal activation.

This response is determined by Gherlein which is a hormone produced in the stomach.

It was previously linked to:

Appetite

appetite

memory

growth hormone release

the hormone produced an increase in the appetite by utilizing fat in the hypothalamic mitochondria.

Gherlein then produces deadly free radicals that are consumed by a protein known as UCP2.

They show that the timing of taking antioxidants critical for the controlling the human appetite.

An increase in appetite tends to occur when antioxidants are taken on a empty stomach yet when consumed with food they tend to regulate.

More analysis is needed to determine what type of regiment of antioxidants should be taken to affect appetite. - 17273
