Blog on weight, How to Lose Fat on the Cheap

For most of us, emotional eating  happens every day. Most of us use food as a crutch. It used to be smoking, now it's alcohol or food. Sure some people still smoke but smoking has become a four-letter word like other bad words nobody wants to hear. Emotional Eating is the biggest cause of weight gain. For some, it takes a major event to trigger emotional eating — getting fired or going through a divorce; for others, it’s a constant struggle: the traffic on the way to work; the jammed photocopier; a tough day at the office … the daily grind can lead to a seemingly unbreakable habit of turning to food to make it   all   better. Emotional eating can sabotage your weight management efforts. Getting a handle on your tendency to eat in response to emotions can be one of the most important factors in achieving long-term weight loss success. Sometimes, the desire to eat has nothing to do with a rumbling in your stomach telling you that  you need  to eat. We get a strong longing for foods

 Health Risks of Eating Before Bed  Good read, many people can take some advice from this post. Going to sleep after a snack isn’t a huge issue, but dozing off after a large meal can lead to a range of symptoms, especially for people with conditions like hiatal hernia, obesity, and sleep apnea, Jesse Houghton, MD, board-certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology and Senior Medical Director of Gastroenterology at the Southern Ohio Medical Center, told Verywell. Here are just a few of the problems you might find yourself dealing with if you eat too close to bedtime. Indigestion and acid reflux: A reclined position makes it possible for stomach acid to move up into the esophagus, contributing to indigestion or acid reflux. Madhankumar said this feels like a discomfort or burning sensation in the throat. Sleep disruptions: If you experience acid reflux, your sleep quality may also be impacted. Eating a heavy meal right before bed can also keep your metabolism working hard and poss

You can track your calories and exercise in many practical ways. Many people like to approximate how much they’ve exercised and how many calories they’ve eaten, while some people prefer to track everything with precision. Various helpful devices and phone apps can count daily steps, record workouts, and estimate calories burned. Or, you can decide in advance that you will work out for a set amount of time or that you’ll walk a certain distance, with or without a tracking device. The easiest way to track calories is to use an app on your smartphone. If you rather use a computer there are several websites that will calculate your calories burned by simply answering a few questions like height, weight, and age. All you have to do is count your steps. There are several low-cost ways to count steps. Athletic stores will carry step counters that you attach to your pants pocket or belt. To know how many calories you’re consuming, you could count your calories and nutrients by entering informa

  Lifestyle has a major impact on energy levels and well-being. Attention and care make a big difference to your life. The main ingredients of a healthy lifestyle are listed below. EXERCISE We have forgotten about the “host”, our body, being one of our greatest defenses against becoming ill. In fact, exercise is one of the most important parts of keeping your body healthy.

  There are two kinds of age. Chronological Age and Biological Age are not the same. The first one is the age we count on a calendar and the second is the way your body looks and feels. I found this photo and the post on WebMD.com. Mother and Daughter photo. It takes more than money to look that look when you are over 55. Your face, your skin, and your eyes are a mirror of your body's health. Sure your doctor will take a few tests and tell you that your doing good and to keep it up. But he’s looking at your health as it compares to the history of your health.  Aging is really not about how old you are in chronological years, aging is about how old you are in biological years. A study done at a university in New Zealand recently showed that out of the 1000 people in the study of people in their late 30s, Some had a biological age as high as 60 and some of them have actually stopped aging.  You can’t reverse aging but the study shows that in some cases people have actually stopped ag

Is Sugar Bad For Your Brain? 5.3 million Americans currently have  Alzheimer's disease , and that number is projected to sharply increase as our population ages. As we look at various ways to  reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease  and other  types of dementia , including  mild cognitive impairment , one of the many areas that has been studied frequently is that of sugar. We Americans, in general, love our sugar. But is it possible that sugar increases our likelihood of developing  dementia ? Research on Sugar and Cognitive Functioning There's an already established link between type 2 diabetes and the development of dementia. But how does sugar affect people who  don't  have diabetes? Multiple studies have been conducted on how sugar, or more specifically, glucose levels in our blood, impact cognition. A few of them include the following: In 2008, the journal  Neuroepidemiology  published research that measured the fasting insulin levels of more than 1,400

  Skipping Meals Promotes Belly Fat Source: Kliewer K, Ke J, Belury M The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry Skipping Meals Promotes Belly Fat Storage, Increases Risk For Insulin Resistance I want to reblog this article because this is a common mistake that everyone makes when they first think about losing weight. The author Justin Caba writes for MedicalDaily.com where you can always find valuable information. Skipping meals leads to abdominal weight gain. Beginners have a hard time grasping that concept. It's not usually the amount of food you eat that puts fat on your body. It's the kind of food you eat. Eating less of a bad diet is still a bad diet and you won't lose fat. You can lose weight without losing fat, but that's why people gain the weight back. Too much body fat is different for everyone. Your "body mass" is about 80% of your total weight. The rest is bones and organs and the contents of the digestive system. Your body retains about three days o
