  1. Stand up slowly.
  2. Try not to stand for long periods.
  3. Don't skip regular meals.
  4. Lie down on your left side when resting.
  5. Wear loose-fitted clothing.

Ten Best Diet Tips to Lose Weight

weight loss exercise classImage by ninahale via Flickr
Tip 1: Drink plenty of water. It is considered as one of the greatest health myths.  However, I still believe in the benefits of water, not only in its role for losing weight but also for being healthy.

Water is flushes out toxin in our body, and you won’t have to worry about calories for drinking more of it.

Start your day with a glass of water.  As soon as you wake up, gulp down a glass of cool water.  A glass of water lets out all your digestive juices and sort of lubricates the insides of your body. You may have your morning cup of tea but have it after a glass of water. It is good for you. 

Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.

Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again this is another way of making yourself full so that you can actually rise from the table eating less but feeling full just the same. Instead of drinking it one gulp, take sips after each morsel. It will help the food to settle faster so that you get that feeling that you are full faster


Tip 2: Avoid sweetened drinks such as sodas, soft drinks and the like.  These drinks are sweetened with sugar, which obviously gives you lots of calories.

You should also avoid commercial juices because, like any other sweetened drinks, these will give you lots of calories for its sugar content.  Additionally, these drinks are unhealthy for containing food coloring and artificial sweeteners.  Drink home made fresh fruit juices. 

Tip 3: Increase your fiber intake.  Fiber acts as body cleanser.  Go crazy over vegetables and fruits because these are good and natural sources of diet fibers.

Tip 4: Try to stick to black tea/coffee.  Black tea or coffee can actually be good for you. But personally I would like to recommend tea rather than coffee. The caffeine in the coffee is not really good for you because it is an alkaloid and can affect other functions of your body like the metabolism.    


Tip 5: Stay away from fried things. Fried things are an absolute no-no. The more fried things that you avoid, the lesser weight you will gain. Fried things are called so because they are fried in oil or fat. And even if the external oil is drained away, there is still a lot of hidden oil in it so stay away from it.

Tip 6: Fresh vegetables are better than cooked or canned vegetables. Try to eat your vegetables raw. When you cook them, you are in fact taking away nearly half the vitamins in them. And canned vegetables too are processed and are not nearly half as good as fresh vegetables. When you buy your vegetables it would be a good thing to see if the label says that it is pesticide free.

Tip 7: Do not eat egg more than 1 per day. The yolk of an egg contains many calories.  If you can avoid eating egg, then better.   For die-hard egg fanatics, you still can indulge to it however; it is advisable not to eat more than one piece a day.  

Tip 8: Make chocolates a luxury and not a routine. Chocolates are not or at least they should not be a part of your diet. So do not indulge too much in them. Even the bitter chocolates are not good for you because though the sugar is less there is still the cream in them.  

Tip 9: Choose white meat rather than red. White meat, which includes fish and fowl, is miles better than red meat, which includes beef and pork for those trying to lose weight. 

Tip 10: Try and adopt a vegetarian diet. A vegetarian diet is undoubtedly better for those of us watching our diet. There are a lot of advantages of keeping to a vegetarian diet but I don’t want to sing an ode to vegetarianism now. What I would suggest is keep to a vegetarian diet as much as you can. Make a non- vegetarian diet a week end event or something if you find it impossible to give up eating all those animals.


How Physiotherapy Can Help With Sports Injuries

Physiotherapy symbolImage via Wikipedia
When players have sports injuries, they turn to physiotherapy for rehabilitation.  Physiotherapy, also called physical therapy, offers help whether the player is having surgery to correct the damage or not

One example of the many sports injuries is an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.  This is an injury to the knee.  It is one of the common sports injuries in people who play sports that challenge their knees, such as hockey, skating, skiing, basketball, and of course, football.  It can limit the range of a player's motion in that leg, and make the leg weak.

Surgery is sometimes done for these sports injuries, but physiotherapy is always a part of the treatment.  The three major exercises done to start the healing process of ACL are heel slides, quad sets, and straight leg raises.

Heel slides are exercises for ACL sports injuries that are easy to understand, but may be painful to do at first.  One simply lies on the bed or floor with the foot down.  Then, one slides the foot slowly towards the buttocks until it hurts a little, and slides it back.  This and the other exercises help prepare the knee for surgery or to heal without it.

Another of the sports injuries that physiotherapy is used for is tennis elbow.  One might get tennis elbow from playing tennis, certainly, but it can also come about from any activity that involves twisting the wrist.

Sports injuries like tennis elbow are treated with a comprehensive plan of physiotherapy.  Exercises are explained and assigned.  Another common procedure for sports injuries is the use of ultrasound.  Ultrasound is a way of applying heat deep into the muscle for pain relief.

Electrical stimulation can be used to keep pain from being felt through the nervous system.  It is used for tennis elbow and many other sports injuries.  Massage and manual therapy can also be used for physiotherapy.

Massage is one of the forms of soft tissue manipulation.  However, soft tissue manipulation is to muscles what chiropractic is to bones.  It deals not only with muscle, but with tendons and connective tissue as well.  It is a specialized field of physiotherapy that has been used for people with sports injuries on many occasions.

As many children's sports teams are becoming ever more competitive, sports injuries among youngsters is increasing.  Often, a well-meaning parent will tell the child to shake it off and keep playing.  It is even more important for children to get adequate physiotherapy than it is for adults.  Children are just developing, and a problem in childhood can lead to lifelong pain.

Some sports injuries happen because something physically traumatic happens to your body.  Someone runs into you as you run with the football towards the end zone, for example.  Other times, it is simply a matter of the physical demands you put on your body.

Physiotherapy is instrumental in the healing of many sports injuries.  Many professional sports teams have physiotherapists on their staffs.  In fact, either ACL or tennis elbow can become permanent conditions without the use of physiotherapy procedures.

First-aid for dog bites

During my rotation in the Department of Surgery at the Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center, I’ve encountered quite a number of lacerated wounds secondary to dog-bite referred by San Lazaro Hospital for suturing.   However, we don’t advise these kinds of wounds to be sutured because they are considered dirty.
                      
Instead, we just advised the following:

  1. Wash the bite area vigorously with soap under running water for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Apply any anti-septic like povidone iodine or 70% alcohol.
  3. Do not cover the wound with bandage of plaster.
  4. Do not put anything over the wound like pounded garlic, plant juices, coffee or chilli powder that are believe as cures.   These things are nonsterile and may just result to infected wounds.
  5. Go to a nearest health center, physician or any hospital to get shots of vaccine immediately.

DOH New Dengue Strategy

The Department of Health has recently devised their new D.E.N.G.U.E. strategy. Instead of confining patients in a hospital facility, parents and caregivers can practice the D.E.N.G.U.E. strategy. D.E.N.G.U.E. stands for:
D - daily monitoring of patient’s status,
E - encourage intake of oral fluids like oresol, water, juices, etc,
N – note any dengue warning signs like persistent vomiting and bleeding,
G – give paracetamol for fever and NOT aspirin, because aspirin induces bleeding,
U – use mosquito nets and
E – early consultation is advised for any warning signs,

This new strategy aims to educate the public on home treatment of mild dengue cases which comprise a greater part of the number of patients with dengue. This is to also help decongest hospitals by giving an assurance that not all dengue cases require hospital confinement but can be managed at home using the said strategy.

Dengue News: Death toll from dengue rises to 501

MANILA, Philippines – Climate change could be one of the reasons behind the alarming rise in the number of dengue cases in the country, which has so far killed over 500 people, a health official said Saturday.

Dr. Eric Tayag, head of the Department of Health’s (DOH) National Epidemiology Center, said mosquitoes carrying the dengue virus now have more areas to breed.

He said rapid urbanization and overpopulation also contribute to the outbreak in several areas around the country.

Tayag explained that mosquitoes breed either in stagnant water or inside containers where people store water.
The insects also thrive in flood waters.

The DOH has recorded 69,594 dengue cases across the country from January to August 28  this year.

It is the largest number of dengue cases in a single year, the DOH said.

Tayag told radio dzMM that 501 people, mostly children, have died from the illness. In 2009, there were 369 deaths.

Most of the dengue cases were recorded in Western Visayas, Southern Luzon, Central and Eastern Mindanao, and Metro Manila.

Tayag said dengue cases are rising in Metro Manila while the provinces are seeing a decrease.

He said DOH tests detected 3 different dengue strains that are now causing havoc in affected areas. ABS-CBN News

•    To treat some diseases
•    To boost your immune system
•    To improve general wellness
•    To prevent certain illnesses.

Taking probiotics to improve your general health is greatly beneficial. They help you absorb and use the nutrients that are already present in your body like calcium, vitamin B, iron, copper and zinc. Your immune system will also improve when you have an adequate amount of probiotics as they regulate antibodies and lymphocytes, which are known to fight harmful bacteria and protect you from serious illnesses.

Uncertainty Surrounds Tooth White Smile Treatments

How long will Tooth White lightening last?

The Tooth White lightening consequences of different bleaching methods can persist for one or two years, but this varies from individual to individual. Research on dentist prescribed “home” bleaching treatment has revealed that for folk who achieved a brighter shade, only half of them still had better teeth six months later. Your eating, drinking, smoking and brushing habits may have a repercussion on how long these Tooth White treatments last.

It’s important to keep in mind that bleaching doesn’t always imply the whiteness that you predict. The results change from individual to individual and rely on the shade of your teeth before bleaching. For this reason, it’s important to discuss all of the possible options for making improvements to the appearance of your teeth with your dentist before you decide on the Tooth White treatment for you.

Special issues

There are some examples when a dentist may recommend that you do not have bleaching. As an example, if you have tooth decay, this should be treated before starting any Tooth White lightening treatments. Similarly, your gums should be healthy, so if you’ve got any gum illness this could be treated .

If your teeth are intensely sensitive to cold and hot food or drinks, bleaching won’t be advocated because to obtain that Tooth White smile, a degree of sensitivity might need to be endured.

Some types of staining ( for example tetracycline antibiotic staining ) doesn’t reply to bleaching as well as others. Bleaching, if successful, may take longer on tetracycline discolored teeth.

Bleaching will not work on false teeth, crowns, veneers or fillings ( including tooth colored fillings ). Instead, your dentist may be in a position to replace these with lighter ones.

Bleaching isn’t usually recommended for children whose teeth are still developing or for pregnant or breastfeeding girls.
Deciding on treatment

There is no evidence to show that Tooth White bleaching is damaging to the gums, but it is not clear what the long-term effect on the nerves and arteries inside the teeth are.

All dental treatment carries a risk of complications, which are the unwelcome, but mostly non permanent effects of a successful treatment. Complications include temporary sensitivity of the teeth to hot and cold, a sore throat, tender gums and white patches on the gums. These complications should vanish after a few days. Contact your dentist if the symptoms persist.

How To Quench Your Hunger Thirsts

One of the keys to maintaining a fit and trim body is by controlling how you react to your hunger. It is possible to maintain a healthy lifestyle even if you do indulge your cravings occasionally. The problems begin when a person overindulges their cravings and cannot say no to them. Here are a few simple tips on how to deal with food cravings. Weight loss programs such as the one at six pack ab exercise program can produce tremendous results, but any program can be quickly derailed if a person does not exhibit any type of self control when faced with the desire to eat something.

Don’t give in to the feeling that you need to snack. Believe it or not, you can simply wait out a craving. By saying no to yourself, you can avoid mistaking a urge to eat something for a need to eat something and simply waiting it out might solve the issue. It is possible that after a few minutes pass, you may still feel the need for food and this could mean that you are truly hungry. Or, you may find the craving disappears altogether. Get your mind on something else, take a walk, write in your journal, play a game or go online to the $LINK2% and see how other people are avoiding giving in to their cravings. The only thing you have to lose is the feeling that you had to have food that was not going to help your weight loss program.

Get a drink.
A glass of water, that is. Something as simple as a tall cup of ice water is one of the easiest ways to resist other temptations. A lack of water is often mistaken as a need for some other type of nourishment or urge. If you can soothe the urges for food that you might have with water, you will be adding something to you body that does not add to your fat. It may be just what you need.
Give in, but limit it to a small amount. By succumbing to our wants, we have acted without thought. When you act impulsively you have lost some control. It is difficult to gain the control back that is required in a weight loss program once you have fell for the urge. Don’t give in to the craving without thinking about it. Try putting some mindful eating techniques to use. If you decide to satisfy your craving, do it on a smaller scale. Never allow yourself to sit down with an entire carton of ice cream or a whole bag of chips. Take some out of the bag and put it into a small bowl to control the portion size. Better still, purchase small portions to begin with. You will see that the urge disappears just as well with a small piece as it does with a full plate. By putting smaller amounts on the plate you can stop yourself from overindulging. Don’t forget that you cheated a little when you exercise later and extend the length of your http://www.fatlossfactor.com to make up for the extra calories that you took in. It might give you the incentive to skip the food the next time you have the urge to snack.

Keep it real. Try to make the right choice for yourself. Don’t try to fool yourself into believing that your diet snack is as good as a piece of cake. You won’t believe yourself and should think about having a little of what you really want. Allow yourself to indulge in what you really want and you will not feel deprived. The problem people run into when they are dieting is that they are constantly telling themselves no so that when they do give in to their urges they lose all control and overdo it and ruin all of the work they have done. If a person gives into the urges for food they might not be able to lose the weight they want, however if they control them they can get the results they want.

Testosterone for Fat Loss

Although many people are familiar with the importance of testosterone for male sexual health and body building, few know that this hormone plays a role in the metabolism of fat too. Men and women who have a low testosterone level are usually predisposed to overweight. Testosterone also prevents weight gain in support of the HGH action too, which is an extra role it plays at the cellular level.

The best way to use testosterone for fat loss is to first determine whether your overweight is in any way related to an imbalance of hormones. And only a specialist can pass a diagnosis on the basis of the tests. If indeed the testosterone level is below the normal rate, your health care provider will advise for some course of action. Diet and natural supplements often stimulate the natural hormonal secretion so that you don’t need to follow any extra treatment.

Both men and women should keep an eye on testosterone for fat loss, particularly since lifestyle often triggers imbalances in the hormones. Did you know, for example, that improper night rest impairs the secretion of testosterone? The adrenal glands, the ovaries and the testes will only secret enough hormones if you sleep well. Another issue that could be related to testosterone for fat loss is a zinc deficiency in the body system.

The body shape bears the actual impact of testosterone for fat loss. The shoulders broaden, the waist narrows, the face features become better defined, and all these happen because the androgen receptors in the fat bear the influence of the hormone. Not everybody who suffers from overweight has a testosterone imbalance. There are other hormones in the body and their fluctuations could also lead to weight gain. It is important not to treat by the ear, and take things seriously.

Muscle increase goes hand in hand with the role of testosterone for fat loss. This explains the reaction of the system to heavy gym training and body building work-outs. The more you train, the more testosterone is secreted and the fat deposits are replaced with pure muscle mass. Keep the process under control by medical checks and a balanced, holistic approach to weight loss. If you avoid weight gain naturally as part of your daily routine, the impact on health and the personal physical condition will be all the more significant.

Indigents and Dental Service

Because he did not give much attention to infection control a dentist with HIV found himself in the middle of multiple lawsuits from patients who contracted the virus but new findings prove his innocence.Another dentist was found guilty of spreading the virus to his patients a few years back and in contrast to this current issue the other dentist was really the one to blame.

New findings came about when federal centers and the state’s health department were able to determine the strain of HIV that infected the dentist through DNA sequencing.A lot of opposing elements emerged from the strain of HIV carried by the dentist and the strain that infected his patients.Help on braces sydney is easy to get.

The poor maintenance of dental implements did not do anything to cause the virus to spread and patients were also informed that they probably contracted HIV from external sources separate from the dental clinic.This follow up helps put the investigation in better perspective.Mandatory health assessment exams for physicians should be the least of a patient’s worries as this study proves how low the risk of getting a virus from a dentist is.

Mandatory testing for physicians was the brainchild of a female patient who was infected by the first dentist who ended up infecting a total of six people before succumbing to the disease.Populations of indigents had the second dentist to thank for the many years that he spent providing them with treatment regardless of their AIDS situation.Sadly he contracted HIV and after three years spent his dying days in a hospice.

During the last five years that he treated patients he served quite a number of people and 19% of them got tested for HIV with 24 contracting the virus.HIV was also able to reach four more of his earlier patients.To see if behavioral issues are present in those who were HIV positive studies were done and 24 of the patients came out to be potential risks.The dentist had a different strain of HIV from his patients and the information resulted from the DNA sequencing that was applied.Detailed teeth braces sydney resources can be found there.

The absence of any similarities among the tested HIV strains strengthens the impossibility of having the dentist as the transmitter.But instead, we found that each of the infected patients and the dentist had distinct strains, suggesting that each was infected independently.It was still crucial to verify that dental implements possibly exposed to the virus did not have the capacity to transmit HIV.

A patient dying will always come as a shock but according to AIDS experts having new explanations may help people overcome their fear with regard to the dental field.One HIV sequence database and analysis project director is anticipating the possible effects on the center for disease control of the recent turn of events.Isolating HIV strains is the purpose of having the quasi governmental organization that never disregards the chances of experiencing another case like this taking into consideration the HIV epidemic that still exists today.A campaign for safe practices was developed by the American dental profession and research like this one will definitely support their efforts.

A lot of changes have been happening in the dental field with the case finally being closed and with more efforts to implement infection control procedures.In line with safety procedures being implemented the same should apply for mandatory testing as said by the lawyer for the AIDS victim as false security is never ethical.It is possible that negligent behavior was the cause behind these patients contracting HIV but nevertheless public health services did not succeed in providing these people with the security they are due.
