Health and Wellness Weight Loss Tips

A friend of mine asserted that being overweight is not a genetic issue. I tend to agree. Some would say they are over weight because it is a genetic problem. I must say this cannot possibly be the matter. If anything;

1. Try analysing the eating habits. In most cases the eating never stops, and what’s eaten? Well, a lot of sugars for instance chocolates, sodas, sweets. If not digested and utilised in form of energy, they are stored as fat which usually accumulates thus the issue of obesity.

Experts recommend all nutrients (like proteins, carbohydrates,) be eaten in small quantities with about eight glasses of water per day (Water as important when trying to lose weight). They also recommend four to six small servings per day not five to six large meals.

2. Starving the body is never the answer to losing weight. In fact, one has to eat (yeah eat, eat well) to lose weight or keep in shape. Using me as an example, at about 6am, I could have large glass of water, small bowl of whole meal musili with fruit for breakfast, at 9am I could eat an apple (according to experts, the body needs about 3 hours to digest food). At 12pm, I would prefer chicken stew and vegetable rice, 3pm could eat another fruit or vegetable or even porridge and 6pm is my time for supper. A meal such as fish tuna and Irish potatoes plus some green vegetable.

I am not saying you use this plan, in fact making a simple eating plan is quite easy, adapting to it however, needs a lot of dedication. Make a work out plan as well, it doesn’t matter how much/little you eat, you still need to exercise

Anemia of Inflammation Affects on Your Health

 

What causes anemia inflammation and chronic disease. (AI/ACD)?

A number of chronic diseases can cause anemia for different reasons.

Infectious and inflammatory diseases. As part of the immune response that occurs with infection and noninfectious inflammatory diseases, cells of the immune system release proteins called cytokines. These proteins help heal and defend the body against infection. But they can also affect normal body functions. In AI/ACD, immune cytokines interfere with the body’s ability to absorb and use iron. Cytokines may also interfere with the production and normal activity of erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone made by the kidneys that stimulates bone marrow to produce RBCs.

Infectious diseases that cause AI/ACD include tuberculosis, HIV, endocarditis—infection in the heart—and osteomyelitis, a bone infection. Sometimes acute infections—those that develop quickly and may not last long—can also cause AI/ACD.

Inflammatory diseases that can lead to AI/ACD include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, diabetes, heart failure, degenerative joint disease, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD, including Crohn’s disease, can also cause iron deficiency due to poor absorption of iron by the diseased intestine and bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract.

Kidney disease. People with kidney disease can develop anemia for several different reasons. For one, diseased kidneys often fail to make enough EPO. In addition, kidney disease results in abnormal absorption and use of iron, which is typical of AI/ACD. Because anemia worsens as kidney disease advances, nearly everyone with end-stage kidney disease has anemia.

People with kidney failure can also develop iron deficiency due to blood loss during hemodialysis, a procedure that removes blood from an artery, purifies it, and returns it to a vein, thereby doing the job that the kidneys no longer can. Low levels of iron and of folic acid—another nutrient required for normal RBC production—may also contribute to anemia in people with kidney disease.

Cancer. AI/ACD can occur with certain types of cancer, including Hodgkin’s disease, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and breast cancer. Like chronic inflammatory disorders and infections, these types of cancer cause inflammatory cytokines to be released in the body. The anemia of AI/ACD can also be made worse by cancer chemotherapy and radiation treatments that damage the bone marrow—where RBCs are produced—and by the cancer’s invasion of bone marrow.

Scientific research shows that the betalains found in the Nopal cactus fruit can help to detoxify your body, eliminating the poisons we encounter every day. Betalains also help the body reduce inflammation, protecting you from a wide variety of disorders. Learn more about betalains.

Inflammation and Chronic Disease

New DocumentInflammation and Chronic Disease

What is anemia?

Anemia is a condition in which the blood has a lower-than-normal number of red blood cells (RBCs). RBCs contain hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein that gives blood its red color and allows RBCs to transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body. Because RBC numbers are low in anemia, blood hemoglobin levels are also low.

People with anemia may feel tired because their blood does not supply enough oxygen to the body’s organs and tissues. If anemia becomes severe and prolonged, the lack of oxygen in the blood can lead to shortness of breath or exercise intolerance—a condition in which a person becomes easily fatigued during or after physical activity—and eventually cause the heart and other organs to fail.

What is anemia of Inflammation?

AI/ACD is a type of anemia that commonly occurs with chronic, or long-term, illnesses or infections. Cancer and inflammatory disorders, in which abnormal activation of the immune system occurs, can also cause AI/ACD. Some people develop AI/ACD without having any signs of these health problems.

AI/ACD is easily confused with iron-deficiency anemia because in both forms of anemia, levels of iron circulating in the blood are low. Circulating iron is necessary for RBC production. Low blood iron levels occur in iron-deficiency anemia because levels of iron stored in the body’s tissues are depleted. In AI/ACD, however, iron stores are normal or high. Low blood levels occur in AI/ACD, despite normal iron stores, because inflammatory and chronic diseases interfere with the body’s ability to use stored iron and absorb iron from the diet. Certain treatments for chronic diseases may also impair RBC production and contribute to AI/ACD. AI/ACD is the second most common form of anemia, after iron-deficiency anemia, but it is rarely severe.

While AI/ACD can affect people at any age, older adults are especially susceptible because they have the highest rates of chronic disease. AI/ACD is also common among hospitalized patients, particularly those with chronic illnesses.

More than 130 million Americans live with chronic conditions.1 Addressing the causes of anemia in people with chronic conditions can help improve their health and quality of life.

Vitamin D

It's a known fact that vitamin D is an essential nutrient. Doctors from all around the world have concluded that vitamin D essential to promote healthy heart and brain function, relieve pain and inflammation, support strong bones, and also boost your mood. Researchers have also discovered that there's a link between vitamin D deficiency and bone loss in patients with HIV.

I believe the list will continue to grow, as more and more research is done on this all important nutrient. No matter what your situation is, it's important to make sure you're getting the proper daily amount of vitamin D from the best source available, like TriVita's VitaCal-Mag D.

The statistics are staggering when it comes to vitamin D deficiency. According to experts, nearly 80 percent of Americans are deficient in vitamin D. To me, that's just unbelievable! Why all the concern, because this leads to an increased risk for inflammation, heart problems, weak bones, unhealthy blood pressure levels, decreased immunity and memory loss; not to mention a major strain on our health care system.

If that news isn't bad enough, there are additional studies indicating a greater risk for abnormal cell growth in patients who are deficient in the sunshine vitamin. [1] In fact, during some of the studies conducted it's been found that up to 50 percent of subjects analyzed that were vitamin D deficient also suffered from serious health problems.

It's possible that you think you're getting enough vitamin D by eating foods "enriched" or "fortified" with vitamin D. However, foods like milk, cereal, margarine, pudding, and vitamin drinks may not be supplying you with enough of a daily dose. Even though these previously mentioned foods do have "some" source of vitamin D you may not be getting the right kind of vitamin D.

As mentioned previously, the proper vitamin D is needed to help fight inflammation and protect every cell in your body. And the vitamin D you get from sunshine could be your most effective weapon for maintaining a healthy body. But now the bad news; as you age (yes, get older), your body may no longer be able to efficiently produce adequate levels of Vitamin D from exposure to sunlight alone. It may be time to commit to taking a daily supplement of vitamin D.

What supplement should you take, and how much vitamin D is needed? Well, a lot of experts recommend an absolute minimum of 1,000 IU of vitamin D per day. And I've seen some articles that suggest taking up to six times that much for individuals over 50. So, that would relate to between 4,000 and 6,000 IU per day. Even the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves supplementation of up to 2,000 IU of vitamin D a day.

Now I'm not a doctor or even in the health care industry, but I do a lot of research and read a lot of articles. Before committing to any supplementation, always check with your health care professional first. If he/she recommends taking a vitamin D supplement, show him/her TriVita's VitaCal-Mag D, and ask their opinion.

Achieve Better Brain Health

The New Year usually brings forth the thoughts of better health, causing many to seek better eating habits, along with exercising more. These are great first steps in achieving better overall health. But don't forget about your brain...

Did you know that your brain is two-thirds fat? I sure wasn't aware of that fact until reading a recent article by Dr. Scott Conrad, Founder of TienaHealth. The article goes on further to describe that "good" fat, properly metabolized fat is lacking in reaching where it needs to go to help the brain and body work well in patients with Alzheimer, ADHD, bipolar disorder and other inflammatory brain conditions.

It is a well known fact many of us do not get enough of the "right kinds of fat. With toxins prevalent everywhere it is difficult to metabolize them properly even if we do get enough. Our soil that most food is grown in is contaminated with lead and other heavy metals that block metabolism of fat that we need so desperately need.

Surprisingly enough there is a simple answer in this fight! It is B-12. B-12 vitamins taken in the right form, taken sublingually, can unblock our metabolism so these precious fats can reach their needed destinations. Fats are essential to repair our nerves, guard our brain from being eroded, and of course produce the energy we need to live our daily lives to the fullest!

Once the code is unlocked with B-12 to aid the body to metabolize fats, it then needs a transportation expert to aid in the delivery to various parts of the body where it is needed most. This expert more specifically is a molecule referred to as a taurine. Taurine is not found in our daily diet, our body must manufacture it. Which isn't always so easy to do, with emotional stress, injury, trauma, and lack of nutrients.

So how can you beef up taurine in your body? Speaking of beef, small amounts of taurine can be found in raw beef and fish, however, once cooked all is lost. A powerful source of taurine can be found in the Nopal cactus fruit, and Sonoran Bloom Nopalea Wellness drink is purest form in which to get it.

Take in this powerful team sublingual B-12 vitamins and Sonoran Bloom Nopalea in order to reach optimal fat metabolism. This unique team can help both your brain and your body reach the best possible health!

Health and Wellness Weight Loss Tips

Most of overweight people dream of a fast weight loss program that can remove the inches from their bodies in a matter of days but, is it really possible to do so? What is even more important is the question, are such programs safe? Here are some health and wellness tips and tricks that will help you to lose weight quickly without endangering your health.

Drink lots of water. You must already know that the recommended intake of water is two liters or eight cups of water every day. This is the usual amount needed to maintain a healthy body and wash away toxins. If you want to lose weight, drink as much water as you can. Water not only helps you to feel full, it also contains no calories. Ditch the evening aperitif for a glass of chilled water and watch the pounds melt away.

Add a twist of lime. Now that we know that increasing the amount of water we drink is very useful in losing weight, but let’s face the facts. It’s just plain boring to keep sipping on water throughout the day. So here’s a twist on plain water; add a twist of lime to a glass of chilled water. This not only adds flavor to the water, but lime also helps in preventing fat absorption in the body.

Cold water burns more calories. Another good idea is to drink cold water. This is because your body does not absorb cold water directly; it first increases the temperature of the water to match its own temperature. In doing so, it expends a few calories.

Exercise. Super fast weight loss is only possible with exercise. Opt for a judicious mix of cardio and weight training. While cardio helps to burn a lot of calories while you are exercising, weight training helps you to continue burning calories at a higher rate up to 24 hours after your workout.

Massage. Certain kinds of massage can help in stimulating the cells of your body to expel their fat content and return to their normal size. These massage sessions should be held regularly to let the body adapt and respond to it.

Body wraps. Another fabulous weight loss method is through the use of sea weeds and hot clay. Certain kinds of sea weeds, when wrapped around the body, help in spot reduction. This is an excellent method of getting rid of that flabby tummy or the sagging derriere
