So why this fact is scary? Are not we getting old then the weight will be on the increase? This is true, but most of us have misconceptions about how to maintain health, especially when it comes to dieting. The following article will explore the following myths out whether right or wrong way to lose weight.
Reduce fat in your diet will help reduce weight
Wrong. Surely, the food like whole grains, fruits, skim milk and vegetables, which are available in large quantities and relatively low calories may reduce body weight. But a lot of eating fat-free processed foods and low in fat such as cakes and frozen dessert that actually contain high calories. You can gain weight if you consume foods low in fat, rich in carbohydrates such as pasta and bread in large quantities. Always consider portion size and the number of calories, because this is also influential.
Exercise 2-3 times a week for 30 minutes will make you lose weight
Wrong. A little exercise was better than no exercise at all. I'm not saying sport is not at all useful, it can burn calories and could actually reduce or maintain weight. But even moderate exercise can nourish the body, the effect of weight loss depends on how you practice.
For example: If you walk around three miles an hour you can travel in 30 minutes, four times a week, you will walk a total of 6 miles per week. If each mile would burn 600 calories, then during the week that you can burn 600 calories. 600 calories less than it was just less than a quarter-pound reduces your weight-depending on how you keep the food. When you eat a little more, then of course your weight may not decrease.
If you want to sport as a major strategy to reduce weight, you need to do more than they are today. The best is a combination of exercise with a low calorie diet.
Walking is the best way to lose weight
True. Like other physical activities, walking can burn calories and help weight loss. Very good if you do brisk walking, not the road slowly. The longer you walk you'll burn more calories.
Perform approximately 10,000 steps per day (approximately 5 miles). If each mile can burn about 100 calories, then you will burn 500 calories more than their own way through this. Do this every day and you will burn more than 3500 calories or 1 pound per week.
Additional protein will boost muscle growth

Wrong. Protein does have an important role in body-build and manage your muscles, making darang cells, synthesis of hormones and enzymes-enzymes and to strengthen the immunization system cells. However, excessive amounts can accumulate as fat, just like that too much carbohydrate can be stored as fat.
General rule: Any calorie-containing nutrients can be stored as fat if consumed too much. But the best way to build muscle is to do rigorous exercise plus eating extra calories by calories from protein.
I can eat eggs without getting fat again
True Egg is good for you. Research shows most people the risk of diet that causes heart disease is the saturated fat and low saturated fat egg. Eggs also contain relatively low calories (about 75 calories and 110 calories if boiled if fried in 1 tablespoon oil or butter). Eggs also contain essential nutrients-nutrients and antioxidants.
Current American Heart Association has changed its recommendation that an egg per day is good enough. The key now is to replace the eggs and bacon with fruit and bread and use a non oil cholesterol or low-fat butter to cook eggs.
Diet drugs is the best way to lose weight
Wrong. Diet drugs are safe is an approved Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for people who have a significant overweight-ie, those who are overweight 30% above normal weight, or for people who have diseases caused by obesity such as pressure high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes.
Obesity drugs such as Meridia (works on brain chemistry to control food), and Xenical (which prevents fat absorbed by the body) may only be used in connection to change the diet and lifestyle.
Obesity is a chronic disease and can not be changed with therapy in the short term.
Vitamin supplements needed to lose weight
Wrong. Supplements can not make miracles, nor can neutralize the impact of the number of fat. Do not depend on supleman as shortcuts human diet. You can get the same amount of vitamins from eating fruits and vegetables (which are also full of fiber, antioksidat and other nutrients that you do not get from a pill supplement).
However, if you eat less than 1500 calories per day, you should take a multivitamin-mineral addition.
I can eat fatty foods when dieting
True. Looks like this game more than psiologi psychology. If you get rid of all your favorite foods, then they will be forbidden foods. Instead of totally denying yourself, you must train yourself to eat foods with no exaggeration.
Since you know the facts and myths, how do you start changing his eating habits?
Adopt a better lifestyle
First remove all the junk food in your place, and replace them with more nutritious snack such as fruit, vegetables, and nuts.
Then make sure to increase your activity each day. For example, you can park your car and walk an extra tip hundred meters to the entrance of a mall. Or take the stairs instead of the escalator. Small Steps like this will add to your weight reduction.
Stop smoking, gambling, drinking parties, and other behavior that causes addiction. Then begin to plan meals for a week and stick to it. Includes careful eating your favorite foods such as beef and pasta, not to excessive portions.
And finally, drink lots of water daily. This helps regulate your metabolism and strengthen your immune system, in addition to satisfying your appetite. When you drink more water, you can feel a little less hungry. (AskMen / Irene)

Threatened Premature Infant Learning Difficulties

Nearly half of infants born prematurely will face problems such as learning disability and difficulty in the future. 'The Epicure' study of 1200 babies born before 26 weeks from 38 weeks which should be passed by a mother during pregnancy.
They still, after half of these premature infants at risk of learning difficulties affected the estimated likely need glasses. When the premature baby was growing up, then at the age of six years of this risk will increase two-fold.

Research leader, Neil Marlow, professor of the University of Nottingham hope the doctors and parents can be prepared when the baby is premature.

Men More Vulnerable potbellied Disease

Kapanlagi.com - A potbellied man's research proved vulnerable to heart disease. Because the location of fat deposition associated with the security of human vital organs, namely heart.
Studies involving 137 men aged 30-71 years showed the accumulation of fat deposits in the abdomen premises directly related to cardiovascular disease (heart and blood vessels. In other words, men who have belly fat are at risk of heart disease is greater than people who have fat deposits in thighs or on the legs.
Deposition of fat in the abdomen tend to be insulin resistance or can not easily be influenced by insulin. As a result hormone insulin does not function properly and cause metabolic abnormalities. This is what triggers an increase in cholesterol. And finally emerged coronary artery.
Fat deposition usually occurs in men who exercise less and eat a lot. The first risk of developing diabetes, and cholesterol and uric acid arises.
In women, fat deposition usually occurs on the buttocks or other body part. Although there are women who potbellied, they only have a small chance of heart disease because women have the hormone estrogen. Potbellied female will usually only experience obesity or shortness of breath.

They should also increase the consumption of protein, vegetable protein derived mainly from vegetables. And the important thing to do is do regular exercise.

Selecting tactics efficacious drugs
Kapanlagi.com - In an emergency, the presence of drugs included in the group P3K would be very helpful. It's just that many types of medication for every complaint that circulate on the market. Instead of helping, but instead we choose the confusion, which one is right for us. How to choose a drug efficacious?
First, the content of OTC drugs is generally a combination of substances that are old, same old. Headache remedy that does not contain aspirin that can make heartburn, yes paracetamol. Colds usually contain antihistamine drug chlorpheniramine maleate or maleic desklorfeniramin can make sleepy and decongestants such as phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride or fenilefrin hydrochloride, which sometimes makes the heart pound and your blood pressure rises.
Cough medicines containing desktrometorfan hydrobromide course that is sometimes combined with an expectorant, such as glyceryl guayakolat. Ulcer drugs at most antacids, which are generally a combination of aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, which sometimes causes constipation or diarrhea. Menstrual pain is generally contain drugs mefenamic acid that can irritate the stomach. Asthma drugs containing theophylline and ephedrine. These latter substances can cause heart palpitations and increased blood pressure.
So if you sufferers of heartburn and a headache when you, choose a medicine containing paracetamol (acetaminophen), do not contain aspirin. Similarly, if you toothaches, muscle pain, or pain-other mild to moderate pain. (Antinyeri drugs will not work against heavyweight pain caused kidney stones, gallstones, or cancerous.)
If you work as a driver or handyman who mengoperasika machine, do not use cold medicines that contain antihistamines, because it will be sleepy. When you cough, use dextromethorphan, while if the cough with phlegm, cough medicine just use black. Because the combination of dextromethorphan and glycerin guayakolat logically odd. Dekstromterofan suppress cough stimulation, whereas glyceryl guayakolat actually thin the mucus and stimulate coughing, which actually aims to facilitate the expenditure of mucus.
While people with asthma or high blood pressure, do not use ephedrine, theophylline use only.
Second, choose only the substance that you need. Remember, that every substance called the drug is essentially a poison. Be careful with the term, "influenza," which actually describes the collection of symptoms. The disease can be cold (common cold), or influenza.
Both are caused by viruses, but from a different species. For both there is no drug that can kill the virus. There was only the drugs that relieve the symptoms. Illness will be cured itself after 3-5 days by the patients immune.
So if you only cough flu, otherwise not to take medicine containing paracetamol. If you heat the flu and colds, do not have to drink dextromethorphan. Obvious example, a medicinal product 'influenza', entered the wind (common cold), headache, cough, fever, pain in the muscles. From its contents, it is obvious this drug designed to combat the collection of symptoms of flu: fever, headache, runny nose, and coughing up phlegm.
If you only have a headache or muscle pain, Should you include so many unnecessary toxic substances into your body, other than acetaminophen? Could have a headache or your muscles recover, but you'll get sleepy because dekslorfeniramina maleate, or pounding because caffeine and fenilpropanolamina hydrochloride. This is important, not only to read indication of the drug, but also the composition of the drug.
Third, consult with your doctor first because there is a dangerous drug interactions. For example, if you suffer from coronary heart disease (CHD) and is currently in treatment for blood antipembekuan, and you take aspirin for headaches, bleeding can occur spontaneously.
How to cure acne? The bacteria Corynebacterium acnes plays an important role in the occurrence of acne. If your acne does not go away, other than attention to cleanliness of skin and applying cream antijerawat, ask your doctor to prescribe oral antibiotics such as tetracycline, erythromycin, or minosiklin doksisiklan.

Exit Without Cause Urine is realized in Elderly

Kapanlagi.com-incontinence of urine and Alvi is one of the major complaints in patients with advanced age. Inkontinenensia passage of urine or feces is involuntary, in the amount and frequency sufficient shingga cause problems health problems and / or social. Variation of urinary incontinence include only a few drops of urine come out, till really a lot, sometimes even accompanied by incontinence Alvi. Because both of these are just a symptom, the cause should be sought and treated promptly.
Urinary incontinence
Patients who suffer from urinary incontinence tends to not report the symptoms suffered, perhaps because they feel embarrassed or think nothing can be done to help himself. However, urinary incontinence was suffered by the elderly group. Prevalence continues to increase with age, occurs more frequently in women than men and elderly patients who were treated in hospital.
Being older does not cause incontinence, but some changes related to aging process and pathological conditions which frequently occur in the elderly can support the occurrence of incontinence.
Urinary incontinence has a great possibility to be cured, especially in patients with mobility and mental status is good enough. Even if it can not be cured completely, incontinence can always strived better, so that patients can be improved quality of life and alleviate the burden borne by those who care for patients.
Because geriatric patients are generally reluctant and frustrated and embarrassed to discuss incontinence of their injuries, it is important to continuously monitor the progress of these symptoms.
Management of urinary incontinence among others, begins with an outline to distinguish whether the cause of the problem in terms of urology or neurology. Then important to determine whether urinary incontinence occurs in acute or chronic. Acute incontinence is usually reversible, associated with acute illnesses that are suffered, and will recover when the acute illness had been cured. While for chronic persistent incontinence, optimal treatment depends on the type of sustained incontinence.
Distribution of persistent urinary incontinence are:
1. Stress Type
Urine out beyond setting urination, usually in small amounts, due to increased pressure within the abdominal cavity. Many occur when sneezing, laughing or exercise. Also occur in certain circumstances such as obesity and chronic bronchitis. This type of incontinence is rare in men.

In general, urinary incontinence in elderly patients treated with rehabilitation programs such as the bladder response to exercise, exercise behavior, urination, pelvic floor muscle exercises and modification of the micturition, Kateterisasi (periodic or constant), Medicine and Surgery.
Alvi incontinence
Alvi incontinence are less common than urinary incontinence. Defecation, as well as micturition, is the physiological process involving the coordination of the nervous system, reflex response, smooth muscle contraction, sufficient awareness and ability to reach a place to defecate. The changes due to aging process can spark the incontinence, but incontinence Alvi is not something that normally in the elderly.
Clinically, Alvi incontinence can appear as a liquid or feces and the unformed stool that was shaped out, once or twice a day dipakaian or bed.
These differences in clinical appearance may indicate different causes, including urinary incontinence due to constipation Alvi (hard to defecate), symptomatic (associated with large bowel disease), neurological disturbances in bowel habit process (neurogenic), and due to the loss of anal reflex .
With appropriate diagnosis and treatment (supportive measures, medications and surgery if necessary), Alvi incontinence in the elderly is almost entirely preventable and treatable. The goal is not only in a less comfortable situation, even embarrassing for the sufferer, but the fact that urinary incontinence can Alvi is the first indication of serious disease in lower gastrointestinal tract requiring early treatment if actually found.

Effective Diet Supplements Help Reduce Weight?

Kapanlagi.com - "Burn fat while you sleep." "Reduce 10 Pounds in 10 days." We all know that the ad was too good to be true, but Americans still spend billions of dollars each year for the pill that is not regulated and poisons that promise weight loss.
While we may want to believe it is exaggerated, is there any scientific evidence to support it? According to findings from an analysis of the recently published, the answer is the pills are not qualified.
Two British researchers from the University of Exeter and Plymouth to review studies that evaluate weight loss among people who consume supplements found dozens of never preparing for weight control. They concluded that there was "little convincing evidence that there are specific ingredients of dietary supplements which can effectively lose weight."
Assistant author Max H. Pittler, MD, will not go that far to say that people are just wasting their money when they buy medicines / dietary supplements are not regulated, but he tells WebMD 'not much concrete evidence to show they can be effective. "
Effective
About 12 dietary supplements are reviewed, only two - ephedra and chromium picolinate - which proved more effective than placebo.
According Pittler, rigid review of the most useful shows ephedra weight loss associated with short-term. But it is also known to supplement accelerate heartbeat and inhibit blood vessel, thereby palpitations are common among the participants for the study of ephedra.
The beginning of this year, the FDA issued a rule prohibiting the sale of dietary supplements containing ephedra because it resulted in the risk of illness / injury that made no sense.
Rules, which contain ephedra to be removed from unregulated products sold in the U.S., will be effective later this month. This is the first time the FDA banned diet suplemet.
Others showed that supplements are effective for reducing body weight is metallic mineral chromium picolinate, which praised the hormone insulin can increase activity and reduce body fat. But the researchers concluded that the effects of weight loss of supplements it.
A review was published on the topic April American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Other supplements found to have only little or no effect for weight loss include:
• Chitosan - A material from the sea found in the framework of shrimp, crabs, and other Shellfish. Supplements that are used in products that promise to maintain fat diet so as not absorbed by the body. But the researchers concluded that "the available evidence in the literature shows that there is considerable doubt that chitosan is effective for weight loss."
Garcinia cambogia • - One of the main ingredient in one weight loss supplement best-selling, Hydroxycut. Researchers concluded that "evidence of G. cambogia is can not be forced."
• Pyruvate - a body formed during the decomposition of carbohydrates, was praised as a metabolism booster and stopping your appetite, but Pittler and Ernst reported that "the case of pyruvate as an aid to change the composition of the body and lose weight is weak."
Warning for buyers
Insufficient clinical evidence for other supplements that are sold to help you lose weight, including from green plants such as yerba and yohimbe and psyllium fiber, but the researchers concluded that "none of the reviewed dietary supplements can be recommended for use over-the-counter. "
Weight loss specialist Madelyn Fernstrom, PhD, says not surprised that the evidence does not support advertising dietary supplements for fast and easy weight loss. Fernstrom is director of the weight management center at the University of Pittsburgh's media center.
"There is no magic bullet," he tells WebMD. "If you're trying to reduce your weight with a pharmaceutical agents, immediate prescription drug search."
He added, is important for people to understand that a supplement is not always safe because it was not regulated. He cited products now being sold as "ephedra free," which may be as dangerous as it contains ephedra.
"There has been some supplements out there that is as dangerous to take over the place ephedra, and referred to as 'bitter orange'," she said. "People should be careful. Just because it is a food supplement, it does not mean it is safe." (Msn / Irene)
