January 23rd, 2012

People should carefully watch their shape, especially during the holidays. It would be better if you take away the meat and baking because then you will have to spend three months to lose weight.
After the meal it seems that nothing nutritious was not eaten, but only at first glance, everything looks so innocent. Christmas and New Year holidays dinners presuppose. That’s why portions of favorite foods may not be the most favorable impact on the waist and hips.
A recent study showed that those extra pounds will drop until the spring. It was found that for one meal is eaten on average about two and a half thousand calories. It is 115% of the daily recommended norm for the women, and 92% for men. That’s why you should take the foods that contain nuts, chocolate. In addition, do not lean on alcoholic beverages that also contain quite a lot of calories.
According to the survey three quarters of respondents honestly admitted that they eat too much during the winter holidays. At the same time girls and young people know that they will face the consequences of overeating, which will affect not only on external developments related to obesity, but also on the digestive system in common.
If you want to avoid a set of extra pounds on holidays, you need to eat slowly, thus prolonging eating and enjoying it. Moderation is a quality that will help maintain normal weight. Even after the holidays when a woman decided to go on a diet, it must be reasonable and balanced, as the hunger strike and complete refusal of food will not lead to anything good.

The Americans discovered the secret of slimming

January 17th, 2012

Every genial thing is simple. American scientists from Cornell University have stated that it is not necessary to use complex diets to lose the weight. According to them, to reduce excessive body weight is sufficient only to reduce the portions of food that are eaten at lunch.
In order to prove this statement in practice 17 volunteers was conducted by the research. It lasted for five weeks. During the first seven days of “guinea” allowed to have everything that was on the buffet. The next two weeks half the group had dinner at “a la carte” dishes to choose one out of six, like soups in cans. For breakfast and dinner they eate what they wanted. The last two weeks this “test” was subjected to the second half of the participants of the experiment.
As a result, scientists were able to prove in practice that the decrease of calories in lunch don’t cause hunger and causes the body to seek compensation while eating other meals. Within 10 days, the subjects lost weight at an average of 500 grams. It is estimated that if the restrictions continue for a year, you can lose about 11 pounds!

The information that 40% of women who are on diets, by contrast, are gaining pounds overweight is already published. This is due to the constant feeling of hunger during the diet and an increase in caloric intake after its completion. Starving woman seduced and colleagues, abusing harmful food, and the weak will power. Some tools like weight watchers may help to control food calories.

The biological effect of this mechanism is explained the following way: for providing the body by energy accumulation of fat happens. During the fasting the amount of fat is rapidly declining, and it stimulates the body to seek additional power. In the case of the lower portion this does not happen.

Different consequences of the diets

January 10th, 2012

There are many diets that are intended for healthy adults and promising a more or less imminent “destruction” of extra pounds. And some of them really help to lose weight for several weeks or months and don’t cause much harm to the health.
Such diets are good for weight loss before or after the holidays or other similar circumstances. However many nutritionists don’t advise to get involved in the diets for more than a month.
The thing is that the constant “dieting” as self-restraint in the diet and deprivation of the body most of the various vitamins and minerals that the human body gets only a balanced and varied diet can lead to serious negative consequences.
Moreover, similar effects can be observed not only for the body, but also for human health. That’s too much commitment to the various diets leads to problems with digestive system, diseases of the teeth and gums and so on, up to serious eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.
Nutritionists insist on a balanced diet of people in particular – people with excess weight. And, of course, you need to do sport.
Without exercise, virtually any attempt to lose weight, is doomed to failure, which is important for both sexes and all ages.
If there is extra weight for no apparent reason and does not go away, It is also recommended to be diagnosed on the various diseases that can have similar symptoms.

Physical activity lowers the risk of getting cancer

November 29th, 2011

New research presented by the American Institute of Cancer Research marks the existence of the connection between the hours spent watching television and the risk of cancer development.
Owing to the recent research, we already know that physical exercises are a protective factor from the development of cancers such as breast and colon cancer. The feedback connection is proven as well – a sedentary lifestyle increases the chances of tumors developing.

According to Medical Xpress after diagnosing 92,000 cancer patients a team of researchers led by epidemiologist Christine Friedenreich found that a significant difference in the development of cancer is just a sedentary lifestyle.
Physical activity corresponds to the lower levels of inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein which is associated to the development of some kinds of cancers.

It is believed that people spend 15.5 hours every day working, studying, having meals, transportation or riding in front of the TV. Such a prolonged lack of exercises does not pass without the negative consequences.
That’s why Christine Friedenreich recommends physical activity. Walking down the corridor, get up and sit down, do not use transport if it’s possible. A good idea is the exploitation of office stationary bike, punching bag, or other opportunities to be proactive.

And note that physical work like this one is the wrong way to be active!

September 19th, 2011

Overweight and cellulite are the main consequences of improperly organized nutrition, because of which the body accumulates excess water and fat, forming a subcutaneous fat figure.

Well-organized food will help to solve two problems: rejuvenation of the body (cleaning it of toxins and normalization of metabolism) and body shaping.

Nowadays people sit on the “wrong” diet, which leads to the negative consequences. Some say: “I’m at work all day and eat normally almost every day and have dinner at home. Why am I not losing weight?”

Rare drinking large amounts of food are the cause of excess weight in 45% of cases. This uneven food puts your body in stress: fasting almost the whole day, and then hard and calorific food at bedtime.

The health from a “diet” may be adversely affected. The “favorite” disease of people who for a few years of life have this style of food are chronic gastritis, stomach ulcers, intestines, etc.

The presence of salty foods, spices and alcohol is unsafe for the health either.
Also remember that instantaneous diet doesn’t produce the desired result meaning become free of fat. The fact that such a diet aimed at rapid weight loss and this is possible due to the removal of excess accumulated fluid in the body.
However, at the termination of compliance with the diet again fluid accumulates in the body, and the man quickly put on weight again. As a result, it gives an additional burden on the skin: first it droops, then stretched that lead to the appearance of stretch marks skin sagging and sagging skin.

In addition, the so-called instant diet can lose weight but to the certain extent. Approximately 3 weeks after, a person who observes it, reaches the brink, after which the weight is stabilized and stops falling.

The fact that the body is at this point begins to run in protected mode, tuned to a low enough dose of calories. It should be only slightly deviate from a strict diet, and calories that the body “set apart”, occur then in the form of excess weight.
Therefore, in order to achieve better results in the fight against excess weight and cellulite, you should make your own menu for the day and calculate how many calories this food contains.

Increase the “weight” of food basket

January 27th, 2011

А meeting of the regional cabinet in which members of the government addressed the issue of grocery shopping area. Her weight increased slightly. This is due to a slight reduction in the working age population. In addition, prices of many food products have jumped, because of what has grown and the subsistence minimum.

As stressed by the head of the Department of Labor and Employment province in our province is the highest level of subsistence in the PPO.

Scientists: Wine protects women from excess weight

June 21st, 2010

In spite of the fact that in alcohol it is a lot of calories, the moderate use of wine improves a female figure. To such conclusion the American scientists studying influence of alcohol on a female metabolism within 13 years have come.

As has shown research in which the data of 19 220 Americans has been considered, the women adhering to the moderate use fault, weight, than those who prefers to be limited to mineral water and even tea much more slowly type. As scientists assume, the calories containing in alcohol, have smaller influence on weight, than calories in other substances, however while anybody cannot explain the exact reason of this phenomenon.

There is such assumption: to consult with alcohol, a liver of the person regularly taking alcohol, shows additional activity for a metabolism, transforming superfluous energy into heat, instead of in fat.

Within 13 years of the participant of experiment 38 % from which did not take alcoholic drinks, told about the predilections in drink and fixed the weight. During this time most of all kgs those who avoided some alcohol while than more than alcohol the woman started to use have typed, with that in the smaller speed it added weight. The most insignificant influence on a figure rendered red wine while beer and a hard liquor added a weight maximum quantity.

The results of research published in magazine Archives of Internal Medicine, show argumentativeness of the statement on which all traditional diets are under construction, – that all without an exception alcoholic drinks increase weight. However, as researchers underline, beneficial influence has only moderate use of alcohol. Superfluous bent for to alcohol negatively influences not only weight, but also on health.

Adiposity complicates a sexual life only to women

June 20th, 2010

The European researchers have decided to check up ordinary representation that it is much more difficult to corpulent people to conduct a sexual life. That is interesting, it has proved to be true only partly. To the women, suffering adiposity, indeed on 30 % it is more difficult to find sexual partner in comparison with harmonous ladies, and here at men all is fine and surprising: any difference with lean and brawny competitors.

Experts have interrogated more than 12 thousand French men and women at the age from 18 till 69 years.

On the other hand, excess weight increases risk dysfunctions, well and corpulent women four times face not planned pregnancy is more often.

The previous researches already showed similar tendencies, but so big divergence between men and women is revealed for the first time. «It is possible, women are more tolerant to big-bellied men, than men — to corpulent ladies», — one of authors of research of Kej Vellings, the expert in the field of sexual and reproductive health from the London school of hygiene and tropical medicine (Great Britain) cannot pick up other explanations.

Low self-estimation, depressions and social prejudices — only a part of problems which the people face, suffering adiposity, at attempt to adjust a sexual life. Frequently it besides stir a diabetes and a stressful incontience of urine. In especially hard cases there are skeletno-muscular problems which transform sex into rather difficult exercises.

On the other hand, research has shown that when the partner is found, frequency of sexual contacts differs nothing from that at people with normal weight. Scientists also have found out that men with similar body (70 %) become partners, to put it mildly, fatties usually. At corpulent men this indicator makes about 40 %.

Let’s remind: normal weight people possess, whose index of weight of a body is equal 18–24, superfluous — at whom 25–30, and adiposity further begins.

The Mediterranean diet protects from heart troubles

June 19th, 2010

Scientists from University of Indiana in Bloomington (Minnesota, the USA), having investigated 276 twins of a male, have found out that the Mediterranean diet is capable to reduce risk of development of diseases of heart even in the presence of genetic predisposition.

The Mediterranean style of a food is based on the use of fish, vegetables, fruit, cereals, sour-milk products, low-fat meat, olive oil and an alcohol small amount. Till now was considered that such diet is extremely useful to health as reduces in an organism level of “bad” cholesterol.

Results of work of the American experts have shown that at the men eating on-sredizemnomorski, variability of a warm rhythm (heart rate variability, HRV) above, than at adhering to the western style of a food. Variability of a warm rhythm represents change in time intervals between two consecutive reductions of heart. The it is less HRV, the above risk of occurrence of a coronary (ischemic) heart trouble and sudden death.

It is curious that HRV depends on genes only partially, and it means that the Mediterranean diet can provide protection against warm illnesses having similar diseases in the family anamnesis.
But not all so is unequivocal. Employees of University of Rochester in New York assert that the Mediterranean diet is useful not all. As they said, some patients, suffering heart attacks, are carriers of special genetic mutations; in their blood the considerable quantity high density (“good” cholesterol) which destroys unhealthy transfats in the eaten food contains. Besides, at them it is a lot of fiber CRP causing inflammatory processes in an organism. Because of a unique set of genes high density it is transformed to “bad” cholesterol, therefore at such patients the Mediterranean diet can raise risks of occurrence still bigger heart troubles.
