This scientific finding is very important for people who simply can’t consume 6 meals every day, because of their job or their lifestyle in general.   Kate Cotros writes for the Diet Myths And Facts, a blog focused on revealing the truth about various diet and nutrition myths. She seeks to help others lose weight and regain their lost self-esteem.   Related Posts: 3 Proven Ways To Once & For All Defeat Procrastination The 4 Positive Price Points of Leadership   (Source: PickTheBrain | Motivation and Self Improvement) PickTheBrain | Motivation and Self Improvement blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4993025 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 06:32:57 +0100 4993025 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4984720&cid=t_174731_160_f&fid=36190&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.skincareblog.org%2F Sonal Bahuguna: Reducing Belly FatYou can reduce belly fat by adding healthy food to your diet. Tired of the fat around your belly? Want to get rid of it? You can easily get that perfect shape by doing regular exercise that makes you lose weight and look fit. The first step to reduce that extra fat is to improve your diet and add healthy food in your daily regime. So, here are some food items that you can add to your diet and you will have a flat belly: 1. Mushrooms: It is a rich source of vitamin D. Vitamin D is known to help in reducing weight as the proper absorption of calcium by body depends on it. People who have deficiency of vitamin D face problem in burning fat. If you eat three ounces of mushroom daily, you can fulfill the requirement of vitamin D in our body.2. Whole grains...

Dr. Felmont Eaves III, a plastic surgeon in Charlotte, N.C., and president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, said the study was “very well done,” and the results were surprising. He said he would mention it to his patients in the context of other information on liposuction. I have told my patients for years to consider the fat cells in their...

Abdominal obesity increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, erectile dysfunction, and other woes. The danger zone is a waist size above 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women. As I describe in the April 2011 issue of the Harvard Men’s Health Watch, beer is not specifically responsible for a beer belly. What, then, is to blame? Calories. Take in more calories with food and drink than you burn up with exercise, and you’ll store the excess energy in fat cells. Many studies indicate that people who store their extra fat around the midsection (ap...

Recently, I wrote how CT scans are on the rise in the ER. Much of those scans look for potential causes of abdominal pain. In an essay from Time, Dr. Zachary Meisel discusses why abdominal pain, in his words, is the doctor’s “booby prize.” And when you consider that there are 7 million visits annually by people who report abdominal pain, that’s a lot of proverbial prizes. One reason is the myriad of causes that lead bring a patient to the hospital clutching his abdomen. It can range from something as relatively benign as viral gastroenteritis where a patient be safely discharged home, to any number of “acute” abdominal problems necessitating surgery. But more importantly, we need to consider how limited doctors actually a...

And, actually, rightfully so. We are, in general, overweight and unhealthy. As a whole, our western culture gives us bad skin, pains, toxins, hair loss, erectile dysfunction, etc. But, you set yourself some goals this New Year. You were going to lose weight. And you did. But your belly still sticks out like a balloon. What’s going on here? Your arms and legs, shoulders and face look thinner, but your belly just won’t go away. Well, the answer is that you could just be bloated. Many times, you are assuming your still fat or that you need to “tone up” but really you need to look into your diet.

Smart girl. Turns out, our stomachs are just as picky. In a study released this month in the journal Sleep, researchers tracked sleeping patterns and the amount of belly fat gained for five years in subjects younger than 40. Those who slept five hours or less each night showed the greatest accumulation of flab; those who got more than eight hours of rest a night gained slightly less; and those who snoozed between five and eight hours a night? You guessed it. They gained the least. Though the research isn’t conclusive about overall fat and weight gain, it does substantiate links between lack of sleep and belly fat increase.

The research that has been done in this area has proven that belly fat is the most dangerous type of fat. The fact is that belly fat is more biologically active, and causes build-up of calcium in the arteries. You may be in a normal BMI range, but if you carry belly fat you are at a greater risk of cardiovascular disease. On average the risk factor is 17% for men and 13% for women regardless of their BMI. We all know what our weight is and what it should be, but it seems as though we are always planning to go on a diet tomorrow. Keeping your weight down is important, but we should also keep track of our waist-to-hip ratio. By measuring the circumference around your belly button and your hips you find the waist...

The jelly fat under the abdominal skin only sits in storage waiting to be burned for energy.  Not all fat cells work alike.  The hard belly fat is under the abdominal muscle and is much more dangerous than soft jelly fat under the skin.  Fat accumulation inside the abdomen is more dangerous to your health than fat anywhere else in your body It is very biologically active and doubles your risk of an early death.   This fat produces more inflammation than fat found in other areas of the body.  Inflammation is thought to play a key role in heart disease and a host of other chronic diseases.

The perceived flaw is exaggerated and distorted from the reality of their appearance. Watch a good, informative but not too technical multimedia Q&A with a doctor from the Semel Institute’s Body Dysmorphic Disorder Program who describes the condition, how it differs from vanity (it’s distress, not pride) and related issues. There’s also a companion video interview of a man in recovery from BDD, describing his experience. Often eating disorders have an element similar to BDD, but BDD exists as a distinct diagnosis.

It is the hope that those new to HAART therapy will not have to suffer the devastating drug side effects that their predecessors have had to contend with in the past 20 years. As patients, it is our responsibility to stay educated and learn from others about emerging options that may make it possible one day to live fully without HIV related body changes and other side effects.For more information visit: http://www.facialwasting.org/ or to subscribe to the largest internet HIV health discussion group send a blank email to pozhealth-subscribe@yahoogroups.comNelson Vergel is director of Program for Wellness Restoration.A syndrome of peripheral fat wasting (lipodyst...

I blogged about it recently. Kahn and colleagues state, in a report published in Cell Metabolism (July 2007), that it's possible to use a simple blood test to detect the presence of a specific protein called RBP4. Kahn et al say the presence of RBP4 can be used to measure accumulations of deep belly fat. Underpinning this research is a belief that such accumulations of belly fat increase risk for metabolic syndrome, leading to various maladies including heart disease and diabetes.However, not everyone accepts this point of view. A Yale research team says that deep belly fat may not be so evil after all. The researchers, who are based at Yale University...

Not anymore. Turns out that even fat is, upon close examination, more complicated than we ever realized. Did you know, for instance, that accumulations of deep belly fat are particularly harmful? Such accumulations are a risk factor for Type 2 diabetes because they are associated with increased insulin resistance, not to mention increased risk of heart attack.One problem with deep belly fat, however, is that you can't necessarily detect it with a tape measure or by eyeballing someone's waistline. That is, you can't tell by just looking at a person how much of the fat surrounding their abdomen is deep belly fat versus the subcutaneous fat that lies just under the skin's surface.
