Solutions to Common Weight Loss Challenges which you are failing to overcome

If you have ever tried to shed that extra flab, only to give up on your efforts after a few days or weeks, perhaps you know how the path toward weight loss is plagued with challenges. Whatever be the reason behind your weight loss regime (developing those flab abs or simply shedding weight to fit into that gorgeous dress), you need to understand what the hurdles are and how you can solve them if you are really serious with your weight loss objective.

Here are some common weight loss challenges that you might have failed to overcome until now with their solutions that can finally help you break the shackles and continue with your weight loss regime:

·         Fresh produce is too expensive to buy: Most weight loss experts suggest eating fresh fruits and vegetables. But many people complain that the cost of fresh produce is much higher than that of other foods that they may be buying. However, the real fact is that fresh produce is more affordable than you might think. Some people even say that prepackaged food often cost less than fresh, healthy food. But when you think about the unhealthy junk elements that such prepackaged foods contain, it surely pays to spend a tad more and buy healthy food that will ensure a fit body for you in the long run.

·         Vegetables taste bland: If your staple diet consists of French fries and burgers, you may find dishes prepared with fresh vegetables boring and bland. But rather than give up on them, why don’t you try to spice things up naturally? Use natural spices and condiments to rustle up delicious meals with fresh veggies that will taste great and also help you to lose weight.

·         Colas and sweetened juices are better than fruits: You may not be ready to give up on your sugar-laden soft drinks or juices, but did you know that you can use fresh fruits to create equally tasty juices sense the harmful sugar content? You can even mix and match fresh fruits and vegetables to create yummy juices. For example, try tasting a mixture of apple, spinach, celery, lemon and kale, or that of apple, orange and celery check it for yourself. You may even innovate and come up with recipes that suit your taste buds. If you are not very enthusiastic about juices, you can try green tea instead. Consumption of green tea is beneficial for weight loss, thanks to its active ingredient epigallocatechin gallate or (EGCG), which speeds up your metabolic process. Green tea is also known to decrease fats (triglycerides and cholesterol) in the human blood in addition to reducing the insulin secretion levels in the body, which in turn give a boost to your weight loss regime.

·         I can’t give up on snacking or my favorite ice-cream: Weight loss doesn’t mean giving up on the small pleasures of life. You can still indulge your taste buds to enjoy ice-creams or snacks, albeit in smaller portions and in lesser frequencies. If you don’t do this, you may gain back all the fat that you might have lost. After putting in all the hard work at your workouts, you surely won’t like to see all your efforts go down the drain, would you?

·         I don’t need supplements: Reliable and reputed weight loss supplements often have effective ingredients such as white kidney bean, raspberry ketone, and D-aspartic acid in the right dosage. When you consume such supplements, they complement your diet and exercise regimen, and help you to shed flab faster and more effectively.

Weight loss is a long-term goal that demands steady efforts from your side. You need to plan ahead and stick to your exercise and diet regimen if you wish to see the desired results. However, you should steer clear of the crash or fad diets, which usually emphasize a solitary food or food group, and can be dangerous for your overall health. Remember – the key to weight loss is balanced nutrition and proper exercises on a regular basis.

Healthy Eating! Reasons to Choose Vegan Protein Powder

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

Four Stand Out Health Reasons to Choose a Vegan Protein Powder

Protein is made up of amino acids which are required for essential metabolic functions in the human body. Without them we can’t survive.  Protein is naturally and plentifully found in a wide variety of wholefood sources however, more and more people are turning to protein powders to assist with recovery, convenience and meal replacement. With the rise in the use of protein powder, many are starting to ask what the benefits of vegan protein powders are for long and short term health.

Leading research has shown the benefits of a vegan diet in decreasing the chances of suffering from diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer – some of our leading causes of death. You can find more information on those here <http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death/>But when considering a protein powder, should you choose Vegan as well? The answer is yes. Here are four stand out health reasons why I choose a vegan protein powder.

1)      Stop the Bloat, Gas and other unpleasantness

Many animal based proteins are whey based. Whey is a form of dairy and dairy is a leading cause of um…, excessive flatulence, bloating and other unpleasantness. This is due to poor digestion of the milk sugar in milk called lactose. It is estimated that a whopping 75% of adults have some sort of issue with processing lactose ranging between a minor and major reaction. The unpleasant side effects from lactose usually begin to present 30 minutes after the dairy intake. Studies have found that when dairy was removed from peoples diets gas, bloating and general uncomfortableness were eliminated too. <http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/45/6/1457.long>. By choosing a vegan protein powder and eliminating dairy from your diet you cantotally eliminate lactose induced digestive stress. It’s that simple.

When making your protein smoothie, you still need to be mindful of the ingredients that you use to keep your smoothie lactose free. Below is a useful substitution table:

Lactose Lactose Free
Instead of: Whey protein Use: A vegan protein powder
Instead of: Casein protein Use: A vegan protein powder
Instead of: Cows milk Use: Rice milk, coconut milk, coconut water, almond milk, chia milk
Instead of: Yoghurt Use: Non-dairy coconut yoghurt or Avocado – this will make your smoothie delightfully creamy
Instead of: Ice cream Use: Avocado

 

2)      Acidic VsAlkaline

The pH levels in our body are directly affected by the food we eat.  Unfortunately modern western diets are typically made up of heavily processed foods, animal products, coffee, alcohol, soft drink and sugar. These are all acid forming. A prolonged diet which leans towards acid forming food will make incremental changes to your blood making it more acidic. This creates the perfect breeding ground for ill health and serious disease, something we all want to avoid. Thankfully, most plant based foods are alkaline-forming and is a great reason when considering a protein powder, a natural vegan protein powder is the best choice.

If you are interested to find out which foods are acid and alkaline forming, below is a quick reference for use as a guide.

Acidic forming Alkaline forming
Canned or Glazed Fruits Apple
Butter

 

 Apricot
Cheese

 

 Avocado
Ice Cream

 

 Currants
Milk Dates
Most oils Figs
Corn Tofu
Lentils Tempeh
Olives Broccoli
Bread Beets
Rice (all) Cabbage
Spaghetti Carrot
Wheat Cauliflower
Beef Leefy greens
Veal Eggplant
Bacon Pumpkin

 

3)      Fighting Inflammation

Inflammation can be helpful and harmful to our body.  On one hand, it is part of our immune response system which allows us to heal, on the other hand if things get out of balance it can cause painful damage. Rheumatoid arthritis is but one painful condition of extreme inflammation.

Milk products are said to trigger inflammatory diseases due to people’s intolerances to whey and casein both found in dairy. By choosingto switch out the cause of the inflammation with a vegan protein you get double the benefits, and keep in mind these will compound over time creating a desirable alkaline and inflammation busting state in the body.

Tip: And if you want to supercharge your protein smoothie, add berries. These superfruits are high in antioxidants and have been proven to have anti-inflammatory properties. For more on this visit: http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/berries/

4)      Choice in Plants

There are a number of Vegan protein powders available today. The first thing to look at is whether the ingredients in the protein powder are natural. Proteins like golden pea and sprouted brown rice are preferable as they provide all essential and non-essential amino acids, they alkalise the body, are dairy free and are easily digested:

–       Brown Rice: While rice is mostly composed of carbohydrate, it also contains protein, which is extracted to create brown rice protein. Brown rice protein is hypo-allergic and easily digested so a fantastic choice.

–       Pea: This plant-based protein is highly digestible and is high in glutamic acid which helps convert carbs into energy.  A brilliant vegan protein option.

So in summary, vegan protein powders are an excellent choice for your health regardless of whether you are a herbivore or omnivore. You will stop the lactose induced bloat, encourage a balanced pH, fight inflammation and provides alternative choices for your morning smoothie. Happy researching your ideal natural vegan protein powder!

Health Care Programs: Article on Obamacare

Obamacare, Medicare and Seniors – What’s Changing?

 

Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), the new law has been part of great debate and bitter fighting within congress and a big question marks for citizens. A good portion of Obamacare affects Medicare and the seniors who depend on it. Here is some information regarding the known effects the medicare system.

Cost of Premiums

For the most part, seniors will not experience any significant increases in their basic medicare premiums for plans A & B over the next 5 years. However, Medicare Advantage beneficiaries will experience a 4%-7% increase in their premiums for plan D. This was done to close the “donut hole” currently caused by high out of pocket costs for prescriptions paid by a small number of seniors.

Taxes

Under Obamacare, it would appear that seniors will get hit with higher taxes in three ways. First, a new tax is being levied on prescription drugs and medical devices. Seniors are the major consumers of these products. Second, the law calls for reduced deductibility of medical costs. Finally, the 3.8% medicare tax on unearned and investment income will affect seniors who live off of their investments.

Expanded Coverage

This is a win for seniors. They will be able to get preventative care at no cost under Obamacare. This will include cancer screenings, annual physicals, flu shots, immunization vaccines, personalized prevention plans and testing for medical problems such as diabetes or mammograms.

Access to Care

There is much evidence that hospitals and doctors are dropping medicare at an alarming rate. The likely causes of this would be lower medicare payments to doctor, the possible actions of the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), the increase of government regulations and the uncertainty of future payments.

Pre-existing Conditions

This is another win for seniors as most of them have some type of pre-existing condition. Obamacare eliminates the ability of insurance carriers to deny coverage to individuals with a pre-existing condition. This provision will give seniors more freedom to shop Medicare Advantage carriers like Cobalt Health for the lowest premiums.

The Future of Medicare

Nothing was done in Obamacare to fix the possibility, according to some estimates, medicare will be depleted by 2026. This is a huge concern to individuals who are closing in on retirement.

 

The overall effects of Obamacare are still under scrutiny. One thing is certain. Seniors will be paying close attention in the coming years.

Untold Training Secrets for Building Massive Muscles

 

A better understanding of nutrition is very rewarding for everyone because the information can be used appropriately depending on the person’s needs. It can prevent diseases, fight infection and body building. Proper nutrition and training coupled with the supplementation are the key to lose fat and build muscle.

 

These trainings and nutritional secrets are the following:

 

How Much Protein Is Needed by the Body

Protein is a part of everyone’s diet, it is a nutrient that can be sourced from plants and animals that plays an important role in the body. Dietary protein can be used for growth and repair. For a sedentary person, he needs. 75 gram/lb/day; a recreational athlete needs 1 gram/lb/day; a serious athlete needs 2 grams/lb/day.

 

Protein Cycling

Undergoing strength training will greatly increase the needed protein in the body and .75 grams/lb is inadequate. For a person who wants to build massive muscle, he must have a maximum protein intake of 3 grams/lb but should be administered gradually until it reaches the maximum rate. The direct intake of high protein rate can trigger the mechanisms in eliminating excess protein, in effect, the body cannot benefit from it.

 

Carbohydrate

Carbohydrate is very important in building massive muscle because it supplies energy to the body. It can be sourced from potatoes, cereals, vegetables and fruits. For people who are seriously working out to build muscle, the recommended carbohydrate intake is from 4-12 grams/lb/day.

 

Super Foods

Super foods are also known as functional foods. They provide health benefits, not just in the provision of energy and nutrients, but also treat the specific condition or a disease. Today, when talking about these super foods and how they can treat diseases and aids in building muscle are the major researches conducted by scientists and researchers. The information below is the list of super foods and what they can and cannot do for you.

 

  • Vitamins and Minerals – Generally, getting an adequate amount of vitamins and minerals is very essential to the body. This can be achieved through proper and balanced diet, but in recent studies, they show that there is a need for supplementation to get the necessary vitamins and minerals for the body.
  • Herbals – Latest studies show that herbal products like gingko, Echinacea and others provide protection for the body against different diseases. However, herbals are not life savers, in truth, they can maximize one’s life by helping the body cope up with diseases like colds to memory failures, moods and many others.
  • Supplements – Today, more and more consumers are posing a question: to drink supplements or not? There are so many reasons that can be attributed why there is an increasing interest of supplementation, one of this is the concern of getting inadequate nutrients from the foods we eat. In the pharmaceutical side, they believe that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve optimum nutrition. Some of the popular supplements that are available in the market today are testosterone, BCAAs and joint supplement. However, it is very essential to know which can provide health benefits and not just any promises claimed in advertisements to avoid spending huge amounts of money for nothing.

 

Important Factors about Supplements

Supplements may help achieve your goals to build massive muscles, but it is a crucial factor to choose the products that show the active ingredients used. Remember, do not be deceived when they claim to be natural because it does not follow that it is safe. For some they claim to have fat burner ingredients or for muscle growth and muscle recovery. In reality, some supplements have undesirable side effects to the body, to be sure about this, consult a doctor and discuss whether it is safe for your health to drink supplements.

 

Eat Good Fats

Eating good fats will make you feel good and look great. Health care providers agree that fat is important to maintain a good health. If you desire to have a healthy skin and faster metabolism, you must eat good fats. They can be sourced from nuts, avocados, fish, seeds and oils which are cold pressed but avoid saturated fats and fried foods because they can cause clogged arteries and high cholesterol.

 

Eat Different Foods

To protect one’s body and for muscle to build up, eat different types of foods, especially those colored vegetables and fruits to deliver a mix of minerals and nutrients. Eat different types of foods every month.

Thinking about Voluntary Surgical Procedures?

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

4 Voluntary Surgical Procedures That Could Improve Your Health

By Jayla Barnsen

While some people may cringe at the idea of elective surgery, there are a wide variety of procedures available to make life easier and even improve your health. For patients who haven’t seen good results with more conservative treatment methods, voluntarily surgical procedures can be life changing. Here are four options that can make a huge difference in a patient’s life.

Breast Augmentation

Breast lifts, with or without a reduction, can relieve a lot of chronic pain for women with large breasts. Those who opt to have their breasts augmented surgically can expect a reduction in back pain and shoulder discomfort. Many women may also be able to sleep bra-less for the first time since puberty, or feel more confidence in swimwear. This procedure has the potential to make huge changes in a woman’s quality of life.

Skin Re-sectioning and Tightening

For those who have lost a significant amount of weight, hanging and sagging skin can be more than just unsightly. Skin that has been damaged by previous obesity can form folds. These folds can form open sores, harbor fungus or even be caught in clothing. Having the skin re-sectioned and tightened can improve the patient’s confidence and quality of life significantly. Surgeons can tighten skin on nearly any area of the body that is bothering the patient, making this procedure very adaptable.

Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is not always just about vanity. While the outward appearance of a patient’s nose does change during the procedure, patients who have a deviated septum may choose to have it corrected. This makes breathing through the nose easier and can even eliminate snoring or a whistling sound while sleeping. Often, the benefit of increased confidence from a better aesthetic outcome is secondary to the health benefits.

Bariatric Surgery

Diet and exercise does not always work for all patients. For those who need to lose a large amount of weight, bariatric surgery such as a gastric bypass is the only way to get back into a healthy lifestyle and safe weight range. For example, Centric Health Surgical Centre in Sarnia performs gastric banding procedures. This limits the amount of food a patient can eat and helps him or her to feel full much faster.

Voluntary surgery may seem scary at first. However, depending on the condition, patients may have extremely positive outcomes that can boost confidence and improve overall health. If you are considering any elective surgical procedures, talk to your doctor about the health benefits as well as any aesthetic changes you would like to make.

Women Health Information: Organic Bedding.

Women Health – Why Organic Bedding at the Time Of Menopause?

By Meggie Haneckow

Menopause brings not only physical changes in women but is also considered to be a stressful time for them mentally. After a certain age, menopause can strike anytime; therefore, any woman in her late thirties or early forties must get familiar with the signs and symptoms of the phase.

While every woman might not experience all the symptoms and some might be blessed to experience a trouble free menopause, statistics has it that 40 per cent of American women suffer serious symptoms including hot flashes and extreme pain. A sudden rise in body temperature accompanied by sweating and shivering are also common symptoms. Is there anything that can provide relief from these symptoms?

While any doctor can prepare a prescription for you to deal with the symptoms, certain natural problems are best dealt with interference of nature only.  This post talks about some of the natural and organic ways to mellow down the symptoms of menopause.

Certain innate properties of organic fibers such as wool, silk and bamboo, have been studied thoroughly by professionals in research and development domain. It is a proven fact that most of the organic fibers are extremely helpful in providing relief from a number of symptoms of menopause. For example, silk has the ability to regulate body temperature. This is the reason why silk pillows and bed comforters are recommended for women going through menopause.

Proper sleep is crucial for giving the body complete rest. Organic comforters like those made from bamboo encourage a good night’s sleep. Bamboo and other organic bedding are particularly meant for those who sweat profusely. Because sweating is a symptom of menopause, women experiencing trouble sleeping due to sweat can use bamboo organic bedding for getting a restful sleep. Additionally, bamboo bedding keeps the body cool by bringing down the body levels.

Apart from bamboo and silk bedding, natural latex bedding is considered to a premium sleep companion by women going through menopause. This skin-friendly fabric is also hypoallergenic as are other organic fibers – bamboo and silk.

In a sum total, bamboo comforters and other organic bedding is one of the wisest investments to make for those who wish to deal with menopause with least discomfort. Even otherwise, because of their innumerable health benefits, silk pillows and other eco-friendly bedding is a value-for-money purchase. Thinking about the style quotient? You have absolutely no need to worry. The market is flooded with designs beyond your imagination.

Health Care Certifcation Programs: Chemotherapy Article

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

The Big “C”: The 101 on Chemotherapy

 

Cancer is a disease that I was not very familiar with not until a friend’s family member was diagnosed with this deadly illness. Generally, I don’t like hospitals that much but when you need to show support to a dear friend or relative, you have to suck it up and become pillar of strength for them. During frequent hospital visits, I learned things about cancer that I never knew about before, especially when it comes to treatments. I had always assumed that chemotherapy was only through the use of radiation. Turns out, I was wrong.

 

Let’s Get Technical

 

According to wikipedia, chemotherapy (chemo in its abbreviated form) is “the treatment of cancer with one or more cytotoxic anti-neoplastic drugs (“chemotherapeutic agents”) as part of a standardized regimen”. If the medical/technical terms made your head ache, there is a simpler way of defining chemotherapy. To put it simply, it is the use of medication or chemicals in treating disease. More specifically, the term in the typical sense refers to cancer cell destruction. Chemotherapy, however, may be used in tandem with antibiotics or even other medications in order to treat not only illness but also infection.

 

How Chemo Works

 

Cell renewal is a constant cycle of the body. Whenever cells get damaged or when they die, the body produces new ones in order to replace them. This cycle of death and renewal happens in an orderly way that is balanced. However, when cancer cells come into the picture, this is where the cycle spins out of control. Cancer cell reproduction is not orderly. Cancer cells divide and grow at a rapid rate, gradually occupying more space until they eventually take over the space where useful cells are, pushing them out. Chemotherapy deliberately interferes with this speedy reproduction, impairing mitosis and preventing cancer cells from dividing and multiplying. It can also trigger the suicide of cancer cells, which is known through its medical term, apoptosis.

 

Treatment Goals

 

The ultimate goal of chemotherapy is total remission or completely curing the patient of cancer. In some cases, patients are lucky when chemo alone is enough to rid their bodies of the cancer completely. In other cases, chemotherapy can be used in tandem with other therapies, like radiotherapy or surgery to name a few, which when combined yield more effective results. Chemo helps delay and even prevent the recurrence of cancer especially after surgery when a tumor is removed. However, in advanced stages of cancer where cure is unlikely, chemotherapy is used to relieve symptoms and at the same time help in slowing down cancer and keeping it from advancing at a rapid speed. 

 

How Chemo is Administered

Chemotherapy can be administered in two ways and how it is administered depends on the type of cancer an individual has. Oral chemotherapy is done through swallowing of tablets–this is if the patient’s health will allow him or her to just take these at home. However, he or she will still be required to go to the hospital regularly so that the patient’s health as well as response to the treatment can be monitored. It is very important that tablets should be taken at the exact dosage and times specified. Failure to do so means that the patient should contact the medical team immediately for the proper course of action.

 

Another way that chemotherapy can be administered is through intravenous means like an injection straight through the vein or perhaps through a drip or what is known as intravenous infusion. Administering intravenous medication should be done with much care as hospital acquired infections are possible. The use of iv access ports can help in the prevention of bloodstream infections, which cancer patients may be vulnerable to especially since their immune system is compromised by chemotherapy treatments.

Program in Substance Abuse Counseling: Drugs and Drinking Fool People Into Thinking Everything Is Alright

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

The article “Using Drugs to Belong, Drinking to Manage Depression: Chiara de Blasio Tells Her Story of Substance Abuse.” by Dr. Tian Dayton states

“Chiara sounds like so many young people who struggle with belonging, or who hide feelings of depression or anxiety. She used pot and alcohol to manage emotional pain that she didn’t know what else to do with.”

American Institute Health Care Professionals’ insight:

In many cases, drugs and addiction mask many things.  In some cases its pain, suffering and despair that people do not wish to face.  In other cases, it is simply to fit in and belong in a certain setting.

Teens face enough pressure with their biological changes, much less finding out who they are.  Drugs, peer pressure and other external pressures can bring many teens to drugs.  Good parenting that is alert and aware of the needs of their children can help teens sort out the issues of how to belong.

In other cases where more severe depression exists, whether teen or adult, drugs can become a alternative that seems right.  This illusion has ruined many lives.  Again a certified substance abuse counselor can help.

AIHCP offers a program in substance abuse counseling.  The courses in this program help prepare qualified professionals to help others who suffer from addiction.  If you are interested in the program in substance abuse counseling, then please review the program

The Program in Substance Abuse Counseling covers primary courses that the qualified professional must take in order to become eligible for certification.  After taking these courses, the professional can become certified as a substance abuse counselor.  This certification lasts four years.
