Eat smart

Eating right can help you knock off those extra pounds.  So have you taken care of your annual donation to the gym knowing that you�re never going to step into it? Paying that gym membership makes you think �I�ll make it some day�. 

But let�s face it; most of us can barely make the time to draw a deep breath, let alone find a couple of hours, that includes fighting traffic and finding parking space, to work out.  Also many have a mental block about the gym and your body will never respond to anything you force it into.  So what do you do? You learn to compensate.  By eating; only this time correctly. How do you know how to eat smart?

Frequency

Do you wake up sluggish to a large cup of coffee/tea? Do you have a couple of bites for breakfast and then wake up ravenous late in the afternoon to bite into whatever you see? That�s because you probably eat your big meal at sunset.  Now its impossible to change habits overnight, so start slow. Wake up to the heaviest platter and get through the day in descending order.

Go �figure�
First, study your body; structure, metabolism, hunger pangs, thirst, eating patterns.  It�s very important to know when you feel hungry, how much and when not;

Note down the time and contents of your meal for a week so that you realize what you�re chomping and what you�re missing in terms of essential nutrients. Create a basket that includes all food groups; carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and even fat.  Keeping track of all that you eat is also a foolproof system to put an end to bingeing; once you actually see how much you�re putting into your body, it�ll automatically put your meals into perspective. 

One simple rule: your body burns most calories as soon as you wake and then goes into slow mode thereafter.  So eat your chocolates, fried food, sweets, cakes when you wake up and make the later mouthfuls healthier as the sun goes down.

Eat with your mind
It�s essential to finish with supper at sundown because your fat burning ability vanishes with the sunlight.  And since you�ve had your dinner early, you�re guaranteed to wake up with an appetite.  If you cannot stomach the idea of combine protein, carbohydrates and fats that early, start with a fruit.  High carbs like banana or apple are ideal to kick start that metabolism and also acts as a buffer to that cup you�ll sip on.  Never, I mean Never, begin your day with caffeine as your body will automatically go into slump mode.  Water constitutes 70 per cent of Human body so when we gulp some down as much as possible through the day to eliminate toxins.

The golden Cycle

Every time hunger pangs strike, replace every one out of three meals with water and watch the fat melt away.  If you ever want to lose weight eat!! The 3 W�s are the deal breakers-what, when and where you eat, for e.g eating dal chawal( plain rice with dal) at a restaurant at midnight can do more damage than a big piece of ladoo (sweet) in the morning.  Simply because one, your ability to burn fat at midnight is almost zilch and two even dal may have unhealthy ingredients when made outside whereas the bhaji you fry in good oil at home is absorbed into your system pronto because you�re burning most fat in the morning.

42% of Americans Obese by 2030 Says Doc Oc

According to the National Institute of Health, being overweight and obese is the second leading cause of preventable death in the US.  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of US predicts that in the next 18 years the number of obese people in the US is expected to rise to 42 per cent of the adult population.That means about 32 million more Americans will become obese by 2030 compared to current levels the proportion of Americans who are severely obese, meaning more than 100 pounds overweight, will reach 11 percent, about double the current rate.

Is this the future of Spider-man

The report's authors give a sobering price tag for these predictions,  such an increase would create $550 billion of obesity-related health care costs. It costs hundreds of billions of dollars each year and leads to deadly chronic diseases. But who is to blame for the US' obesity epidemic?

The report was published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine and was released at the CDC's Weight of the Nation conference, a gathering focused on the impact of the obesity epidemic. The authors analyzed data collected from each state and made projections based on a number of factors influencing obesity rates, including the cost of healthy and unhealthy foods, gas prices and Internet access. "Predicting obesity is tricky and no one variable showed up as causing obesity,  said one of the author.

One of the authors of the report, said the prospect of such increasing rates, particularly those of severely obese Americans, is alarming since efforts aimed at helping people lose weight have so far proven relatively ineffective. "Their weight continues to increase. Over the last 10 years, it has gone up tremendously," he said in a press conference. "This is a group at great risk of health complications, and yet they are increasing at an even greater rate than the rate of obesity."

Barbara Moore, the president of Shape UP America! at national campaign to raise awareness about obesity as a health issue said "Obesity is caused by a perfect storm of a multiplicity of factors and not one factor is going to be entirely responsible for this problem � personal choice and responsibility does play a part but a part of many other factors."

Although recent data suggest that rates of obesity have reached a plateau, current rates of obesity are still alarmingly high. About 34 percent of adults are currently obese, creating a whole host of expensive, chronic health problems, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

The report's authors said a number of factors could lead to the predicted rise in obesity. About two-thirds of Americans are currently overweight and could continue to gain weight and move into the obese category.


THE STATE OF OBESITY IN THE US:

• About 35.7 per cent of the adult American population suffers from obesity now.
• Over 42 per cent of adult Americans will be obese in 2030
• Percentage of severely obese to double between 2010 and 2030, growing from five per cent to 11 per cent by 2030
• Non-Hispanic blacks have the highest obesity rates at 44.1 per cent
• Treating additional obese people to cost $550bn over 20 years
• Medical-related costs of obesity estimated at $150 bn a year
• Obesity costs account for about nine per cent of annual medical costs
• At least 30 per cent of the populace is obese in most US southern states - Mississippi has the highest rate at 34 per cent
• The western US has the lowest obesity rates, with Colorado at 21 per cent

Institute of Medicine (IoM) released a report that rejects the idea that obesity is largely the result of a lack of willpower and personal responsibility of the people of America. US has an 'obesity-promoting environment', an 'average person' cannot maintain a healthy weight. 

IoM Suggested some dramatic measures and changes, Recommends schools be the focus for anti-obesity efforts, It wants schools to ensure quality physical activity and awareness of nutritional standards among children,  about 50 percent of severe obesity in adults is consequence of obesity in childhood. Currently about 17 percent of children and adolescents are obese. Anti-obesity measures such as better urban design, access to recreational facilities, workplace health promotion and new drugs could help reign in the problem.

Doctors asked to play a more aggressive role. And employers have been urged to promote healthy eating and offer obesity-related health coverage.

IoM blamed Us farm policy, Lawmakers and food industry for obesity epidemic. 

US FOOD INDUSTRY LOBBY:

• The industry is worth about $1.5 trillion annually
• About $175m has been spent on lobbying since 2009, including an effort to defeat proposed sugary-drinks tax that was led by Coca-Cola and Pepsi
• Lobbyists spent more than $40m to defeat the sugary-drink tax - they defeated the soda tax initiatives in 23 US states
• The industry spent close to $1m fighting school menu changes
• In US schools, tomato sauce on pizza is counted as a vegetable
• In 2011 McDonald's Corp spent over $1.5m on lobbying efforts, Nestle spent close to $4m

 The IoM panel also suggested to tax sugar-sweetened beverages, as their link to obesity is stronger than that of any other food or beverage.

So who is to blame for the problem? Do the IoM's recommendations go far enough? And is it time to re-examine the framework when dealing with the issue of obesity?

What Is Cardiovascular Disorder

To understand Cardiovascular disorder we have to study the function of cardiovascular system. Functions of the cardiovascular system include (1) transporting nutrients to cells, (2) removing waste products through the intestines and other excretory organs, and (3) pumping oxygenated blood from the heart via the arteries and returning deoxygenated blood via the veins. The cardiovascular system works in tandem with the respiratory and nervous systems. It works with the respiratory system by taking the oxygen inhaled into the lungs to the rest of the body, and delivering carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs for expulsion. Impulses from the the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems help regulate the heartbeat.

The heart is a cone-shaped organ, about the size of a clenched fist. Contrary to popular belief, the heart is not on the left side of the chest; it is almost central, but its most prominent pulsation is felt beneath the left nipple. It pumps blood throughout the body and averages 70 beats per minute in an average adult. This is accomplished via nerve impulses and contractions of muscles. The heart is loosely enclosed in a fibrous, protective, bag-like enclosure called the pericardium. The heart is comprised of 4 chambers. The top portion houses the atrium, of which there are right and left valves. The bottom portion of the heart contains the chamber known as the ventricle, of which there are also right and left valves.

Cardiovascular disease comprises of several symptoms and disorders; coronary artery disease (including arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, angina and myocardial infarction), hypertension, rheumatic heart disease and congenital heart disease. Coronary artery disease is the most frequent cause of death from cardiovascular disease.

In modern system of medicine, the drugs often used in the treatment are antiarrhythmics, antihypertensives, antiadrenergics, diuretics, antianginals and anticoagulants. These drugs are effective but have a number of side effects like severe headaches, mild constipation, shortness of breath, dizziness, loss of appetite, heartburn etc. In chronic cases, the treatment is obviously prolonged. 

The herbal system has a number of medicines that not only provide symptomatic relief but attacks the root cause without any known side effects. so we should try some herbal and alternate medicines also by consulting the experts.

Heart Disease Causes and Cures

Heart is the most important part of human body, the main function of heart is to supply oxygenated blood containing nutrients to different parts of our body,Cardiovascular disorder affects the functioning of this cardiovascular system resulting in any disease that affects the blood circulation in body.

Heart

In short the Cardiovascular system works for(1) transporting nutrients to cells, (2) removing waste products through the intestines and other excretory organs, and (3) pumping oxygenated blood from the heart via the arteries and returning deoxygenated blood via the veins.

The causes of cardiovascular disorders are diverse but atherosclerosis and hypertension are the most important. Heart disease is the commonly used phrase for a number of disorders affecting both the heart and blood vessels. A more apt term is cardiovascular disease. It is a leading cause of death and illness that affects millions of people worldwide.  The majority of these catastrophic events occur with little or no warning leaving us ill-prepared to deal with them.

Each day in America only more than 3000 people have heart attacks, 1400 die, and 2200 undergo bypass surgery or angioplasty. Two-thirds of the victims actually have seen a physician shortly before their illness and were reassured that there was nothing wrong with their heart! Many of the deaths and most of the heart attacks are the result of under diagnosis and under treatment, while 75% of the surgeries and angioplasties are due to over diagnosis and over treatment.

Most of the time our modern medical system fails, resulting in deaths or disabilities. we  can't cure heart disease this way. If you have a problem in your chest area, the fist on the list of the organs that need to be fixed is not your heart, it is GI tract.

The human gastrointestinal tract(GI) refers to the stomach and intestine  and sometimes to all the structures from the mouth to the anus. (The "digestive system" is a broader term that includes other structures, including the accessory organs of digestion).

Most of the food we eat gets absorbed in the small intestine and most of the liquid gets absorbed in the large intestine. Liver gets "first pickings" of everything absorbed in the small intestine, which is where virtually all nutrients are absorbed.

All of the venous blood returning from the small intestine, stomach, pancreas and spleen converges into the portal vein.

All blood from the portal vein goes into liver.

75% of the blood entering the liver is venous blood from the portal vein.

Liver is the main organ inside human body who's function is to process substances that are 'foreign' to our body and to make them "friendly".

After blood have been processed inside liver, it goes into the heart, and heart pumps it to the rest of the body.Thirty per cent of the blood pumped through the heart in one minute passes through the body's chemical factory, the liver. The liver cleanses the blood and processes nutritional molecules, which are distributed to the tissues. The liver also receives bright red blood from the lungs, filled with vital oxygen to be delivered to the heart.

The liver is located at the top of the abdomen, and has two main lobes. It is the largest gland in the body, weighing 2.5 to 3.3 pounds. When we eat, more blood is diverted to the intestines to deal with digestive processes, So, it is liver's job to process all the foods that your intestines have been absorbing. "Liver" is probably an appropriate name for this gland, which makes the important decision as to whether incoming substances are useful to the body or whether they are waste.

The liver also synthesizes triglycerides and cholesterol, breaks down fatty acids, and produces plasma proteins necessary for the clotting of blood, The liver also produces bile salts and excretes bilirubin. 

When the quantity of waste increases we feel symptoms for heart diseases, when people have problems and symptoms in their chest area, do not look at the heart. Heart is not a cause of the problem, heart is the consequence of the problem.

Most problems can be fixed with improved lifestyle, improved diet, motion, parasites cleanse, bowel cleanse, dental cleanup, kidney cleanse and liver cleanse ...  

so get ready for the change and consult experts to live happy ..

Kiwi, The Small Intestine Friend

Kiwi fruit had been known as one type of fruit is high in nutrients and vitamin C. But more than that, save the kiwi was also a hidden benefit that is needed by the human body.

Behind the brown furry skin and green flesh fruits, kiwi turned out to contain a digestive enzyme that can help the absorption of protein. Enzyme called actinidin. It is a protease enzyme (protein destruction) which is in the green kiwi fruit, serve to digest protein so readily absorbed.

As is known, in the digestive process that occurs from the mouth to the small intestine, the body needs a variety of digestive enzymes, namely protease (to digest protein), lipase (digests fat), and amylase (digests carbohydrates). A healthy digestive tract will prevent the entry of bacteria and toxins as well as keep the immune system. To keep the digestive tract stay healthy, your body needs nutritious foods such as fruit.

"Fruits contain fiber, probiotics, and digestive enzymes that aid digestion and absorption role. One fruit, kiwi green that is, containing vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, prebiotic fiber and enzymes actinidin," says nutrition expert from the Department of Nutrition School of Medicine, University of Indonesia, dr. Fiastuti Witjaksono, Sp.GK, Tuesday (05/08/2012), in Jakarta.

Another advantage is the kiwi fruit contains vitamin C two times higher than oranges and proved 5 times more effectively absorbed by the body. Kiwi fruit is also rich in folic acid is beneficial for women who want to get pregnant, also has a low glycemic index so it is safe for diabetics.

Aids the digestive process

Fiastuti explained, the fiber content in green kiwi fruit is very high compared to other fruits such as bananas, apples and oranges. Fiber in kiwi fruit is divided into two types of soluble fiber and insoluble fiber.

Soluble fiber plays a role in helping to keep blood sugar levels remain stable, with the help of sugar absorption is slower, thus causing an increase in blood sugar levels are not excessive and did not fall dramatically.

"Soluble fiber also helps stabilize the kiwi blood fat levels, by binding to fat and helps maintain blood lipid levels," he said.

Meanwhile, insoluble fiber helps maintain intestinal health by preventing constipation and feeding the good bacteria. Because, according to Fiastuti, intestinal tract not only function but also serves to keep the bad bacteria and prevent the introduction into the body, preventing the entry of toxins and keep the immune system.

So, if all these people think it only serves to intestinal absorption, that's wrong. If the colon is unhealthy, then the bacteria will easily fit into the intestinal cells, causing pain in the body.

"If we eat less insoluble fiber, bowel movements become difficult. As a result, toxins, dirt and bacteria in the gut will be longer. The longer he is in contact with the intestinal wall will damage the intestinal cells," explains Fiastuti.

Unique enzyme

Kiwi fruit has long been believed to help digestion in the stomach, in addition to fiber (fiber) is high, kiwi fruit contains a unique enzyme, which is a function actinidin protein digest so it is more easily absorbed by the body.

This was confirmed by two research laboratories, and one study with experiments on animals performed by Riddet Institute, Massey University and Zespri International. Research using Zespri green kiwifruit extract as the source of the enzyme actinidin. This study uses a method of laboratory studies to see digestion in the stomach and intestines.

In his study, researchers used a variety of food sources of protein such as beef, milk protein (whey protein), soy milk, wheat protein (gluten) protein of maize, collagen and gelatin. Then it tried to digest foods with simulated gastric and intestinal digestion supplemented with actinidin, which comes from the extract of kiwi fruit.

The results showed that, actinidin and fiber content in kiwi may help better protein digestion, helps maintain blood sugar and blood fats and Formatting maintain intestinal health.

"Protein is absorbed well will provide benefits as builder substances, replacing damaged cells and keep the body working properly metebolisme," .
