Weight Loss

Loosing weight could save the you and/or the government thousands of dollars a year on your healthcare costs. According to the non-profit research group RTI International, "an obese patient has $4,871 in medical bills a year compared with $3,442 for a patient at a healthy weight." [1]

This current study also reveals that "Americans who are 30 or more pounds over a healthy weight cost the country an estimated $147 billion in weight-related medical bills in 2008, double the amount a decade ago." [1]

Since weight loss not only increases your life expectancy, and decreases the risk of heart disease, and diabetes, it makes sense to shed those extra pounds and start getting into shape.

In no way shape or form am I immune to this problem. I've added a few extra pounds over the past few year. Although I'm not yet considered obese, and I'm not yet 30 pounds over my normal weight, age has a way to increase your weight if you're not aware of it.

As you age your metabolism, a complex network of hormones and enzymes that not only convert food into fuel but also affect how efficiently you burn that fuel, slows down.

According to the WebMD web site, "Your metabolism is influenced by your age (metabolism naturally slows about 5% per decade after age 40); your sex (men generally burn more calories at rest than women); and proportion of lean body mass (the more muscle you have, the higher your metabolic rate tends to be)." [2]

So if you want to increase your metabolic rate, you need to increase your activity level, especially as you age. You may also want to consider some form of dietary weigh loss system like Leanology. Although many weight loss systems on the market are very effective in the short term, it's a long term weight management problem that we are after. In other words, keeping the weight off once you lose it.

If we are going to keep the weight off, we need to promote regular physical activity, healthy eating, and create an environment that supports these behaviors. Addressing the problem of long term weight management is crucial if we are going to lower the healthcare costs and keep the costs down. And I believe this starts on a individual basis; it has to start with each one of us.

Before we can point fingers at the President, the government, or the healthcare system, we need to look into the mirror, and ask yourself this question; do I look physically fit? If NOT, what are you going to do about it? In my opinion, if it's not some chemical imbalance that's causing someone to be overweight, the insurance companies should penalize the obese individuals by making them pay a higher deductible than someone that is within the "normal" category.

Healthcare costs are out of hand. Too many people are overweight. And it's costing the tax payers way too much money. $147 billion dollars could be used in more productive ways than "paying for weigh-related medical bills."

The need for a weight loss program like TriVita's Leanology™ is important to start the weight loss process, but it's not the total cure-all. There has to be a lifestyle change if you want to achieve long term results. These results will improve every facet of your life, and can carry over to other members of your immediate family. TriVita does have the right products, but the products alone are not going to change your lifestyle.

Understanding CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

Understanding CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), was brought about by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and not by evil programmers with too much time on their hands as originally believed, to develop a standard which could be interpreted by different browsers. This became a necessity as Microsoft and Netscape battled for world domination and kept adding html attributes which were only understood by their browser. Great for them, bad for us.

Now, through the implementation of CSS, we can design ONE website for all browsers instead of multiple websites, one for each browser. What started out as a way of standardizing the way code was displayed through basic things, like font and color tags, has quickly grown into something much more powerful, which makes sense because all of the not so evil programmers could now spend more time working on the one standard which could be understood by all browsers.

CSS can be utilized in your web pages a couple different ways.

The FIRST and the one that takes priority over the others is what is known as Inline CSS and is used inside the html tag directly and only affects what is inside that element. This is a useful method when you are doing something like adding a Drop Cap or something which will only be used once or twice and you don't want to clutter up your External Style Sheet.

The SECOND, and the one that takes priority over an External Style Sheet but not Inline CSS is the Internal Style Sheet which is placed in head of your page between the <head> and </head> tags. You might want to use this when you only have one page on your website or you need a page to look differently than the other pages which use your main CSS External Stylesheet. You could then use your Inline Style Sheets to overwrite anything on a line by line basis should you need to. Remember from above, the Inline CSS takes priority over the others.

The THIRD method is the External Style Sheet. This is a document that lives outside of your web page. By placing some code in the head of your web page between the <head> and </head> tags, you tell your web page to look for and use the instructions from that file to interpret how to display your page.

This method is useful when you have two or more pages and will allow you to control the look across all of your pages maintaining a consistent look throughout. What a huge time saver!

Just imagine what will happen when the guru's and "powers that be", decide the BIG, RED, BOLD HEADLINES are no longer cool! With External Style Sheets, you can just edit your .css file (external style sheet), and get ready for a night out, although you may find yourself lonely because all of your webmaster friends will be working feverishly through the weekend making this change on each individual page.

Weigth Loss

Desperate To Lose Weight

There is only one weight loss exercise that’s the best fat burning exercise for everyone by far, there’s not even a close second.

However, most so-called weight-loss experts don’t teach this exercise, either because they are ignorant of the facts, or more than likely, because they can’t make any money from it.

People who advise that…
You have to go through all the different exercise routines on all the different exercise equipment in a gym, or buy all this weird exercise equipment, or that you need to be running for weight loss, are just giving you the runaround.

Weight Lifting As a Weight Loss Exercise
Many people who call themselves experts, make the claim that since muscles burn fat, you need to build big muscles so that you can burn more fat, and so…

You should work with weights, because that builds the biggest muscles.

That’s totally misleading, but it sells a lot of gym memberships, and lots of exercise equipment.

Many people are looking for a quick weight loss workout, and also, many fitness professionals (note that I didn’t say experts), believe that the harder you work out, the more fat you will burn, but… That’s a Lie!

The people who make these kinds of claims, obviously haven’t a clue how the human body works as it relates to weight control, and they should probably look for some other line of work.

The Fat Burning Workout Or Sugar Burning

Yes it’s true that fat is burnt in the muscles, but so is sugar. All the really hard exercises where you sweat a lot and your muscles hurt, is burning practically nothing but sugar, and almost no fat.

Most professional teach that you have to work really hard to burn fat, and so the more motivated you are to have a fat burning workout, the harder you work, and the harder you work, the more sugar you burn, but practically no fat whatsoever.

You can go through all kinds of weight lifting routines for your weight loss workout, and even build big muscles, but they will be “sugar burning muscles”, not fat burning muscles.

If you’re a woman, you can build such big muscles this way, that you’ll begin to look like a Guy, but you’ll still be fat!

Walking for Weight-Loss

Realize that “walking for weight loss” is the absolute best weight loss exercise available. Unless you’re already very fit, walking for weight loss is a much better fat burning exercise than running for weight loss.

If you’re unfit and overweight, especially if you’re obese and a typical couch potato, then…

If you go running for weight-loss, you’ll burn almost nothing but sugar and you’ll probably be very sore the next day.

On the opposite extreme, if you’re an experienced marathon runner, then your body is a very efficient “Fat Burning Machine”, which burns almost nothing but fat during a run.

However…

Just ordinary walking won’t do it for you, you need to do power walking, which turns ordinary walking into a very efficient fat burning workout, but that’s not all…

Not only is walking for weight loss a fast weight loss exercise and the best fat loss workout, but it will also a rebuild your metabolism so that you burn more fat the rest of the day, even when you’re not exercising.

So you see, walking for weight loss, is really the best weight loss exercise available to you, because you really rebuild your metabolism, and that’s the key to permanent weight loss.

Nutritional Vitamin Supplements

It seems there's a controversy over vitamins and the benefits they provide to the human body. I know this may not be a new concept, because for every positive statement, no matter what the subject, you will always have someone to disagree, or have a negative comment. That's just a way of life. However, in this article, we're going to focus on vitamins and minerals, and the question, are there any health benefits to taking vitamins?

Let's look at some facts first. Everyone needs vitamins, which are critical for the body. I think we can all agree with that statement. Vitamins are essential to build healthy bones, and muscles. Vitamins are essential to keep the body's cells healthy.

"For most people, the micronutrients we get from foods usually are adequate to prevent vitamin deficiency, which is rare in the United States. That said, some extra vitamins have proven benefits, such as vitamin B12 supplements for the elderly and folic acid for women of child-bearing age. And calcium and vitamin D in women over 65 appear to protect bone health." That statement comes from a bog post back in November 2008, by Tara Parker-Hope. [1]

If you happened to read her article, it seems that Ms. Parker-Hope is not a proponent of vitamin supplements. As a matter of fact, in her article, she links to studies which have warnings and/or false hopes with regards to vitamin supplements, and questions regarding their benefits. Like I said before, for all of the positive information, you can always find someone to bash or discredit what has, for the most part, been recognized as good by the majority.

So, are vitamins beneficial, or is it a waste of money adhering to a daily vitamin and mineral regimen? Can we get the proper nutrition expressly from the food we eat?

I believe we cannot get the proper nutrition just from our daily intake of food. If what I say is true, we need to supplement our diet with vitamins and minerals in the form of supplementation. Given our diets and lack of access to healthy foods, and given the dwindling nutritional quality of food generally available today, our bodies need vitamin, mineral and other dietary supplements to fill in this nutritional gap. We also have guidelines to follow which are set forth by the government. These guidelines are helpful to us if we plan to attain the proper nutrition on a daily basis.

The guidelines come in the form of the US RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance), established by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council, National Academy of Science. The RDA has helped to educate people about the various vitamins and minerals they actually needed. However, according to Dr. Michael Janson, a leading authority on preventive and alternative medicine "The RDA is actually a useless guideline for today, because it was designed to prevent deficiency diseases such as scurvy and beriberi ... [not for] achieving optimal health and treating disease..." [2] Similar things can be said for the Daily Value (DV) that are referred to on many supplement labels.

Taking a supplement based only on a label that says it fulfills your daily mineral and vitamin requirement may not mean your body is getting what it requires. In order for the the supplement to be effective, it has to be properly absorbed in to the body. That's where some problems arise when trying to test and/or compare vitamin supplements. Not ALL supplements are the same. There have been cases where the supplements pass right through the body and never get absorbed.

Consuming nutritional vitamins and minerals in a liquid or powder form is easier for your body to breakdown and absorb the nutritional content, which in turn, gives your body the daily mineral and vitamin requirement it needs. Liquid and powder supplements start entering your system in your mouth as soon as it comes in contact with your saliva. The next best option is gelatin-free capsules that easily dissolve in stomach acid. Supplements in hard tablet form - especially time released varieties - are most likely to pass through your system relatively intact.

What type of foods do we need to eat to get the recommended daily requirements of vitamins and minerals? Are vitamin supplements only needed in cases, like child-bearing years, women over 65, and extreme vitamin deficiency cases?

Searching Google for the most nutritious foods to eat, I found this article on about.com called Healthy Foods Instead of a Diet. Here is a quote from that article:

"The closer a food is to its natural state, the better it is for you. Fresh fruits and berries are great and will satisfy a craving for sweets. Whole vegetables have lots of vitamins and minerals, so eat more green, orange and yellow vegetables. Steam them to retain the most nutritional value and be careful with sauces, they may be high in calories and fats that aren't good for you."

"Any pasta or baked goods should be made from whole grains. Avoid sugary snacks and pastries as well. An apple is good for you, an apple pie really isn't."

"Shop for lean meats and don't forget the fish. The omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in ocean fish are often deficient in our diets, so serve seafood two or three times per week. Baked fish and chicken are healthier than fried, and lean meats like bison or venison may be healthier than higher fat beef." [3]

How many of you have time to eat the types of foods listed above? Yes, I know it all sounds good and healthy, but quite often (ok, everyday) our hectic schedules get in the way of eating the proper food. We have more of a tendency to stop at a fast food restaurant to grab a quick "processed food" lunch. Or we may make slap a sandwich, made of processed lunch meat, together before we leave for work. "Processed lunch meats, hot dogs, bacon, and sausages have a lot of saturated fat and nitrates in them you don't want in your body." [3]

Sticking to a healthy and nutritious diet can be tough. I know there are people whom are not advocates of vitamin and mineral supplements. I also understand there are different points of views regarding the types of supplements we need to take. However, if I've learned one thing over the years it's you only get what you pay for. So a one-a-day multiple vitamin is not the same as a high quality vitamin and mineral supplement.

So it only makes sense that when comparisons between supplements are being done, or better yet, when doing scientific research, we need to know the types of supplements that are being used. Are they ones that can be purchased in the drug store, or are they from a top notch nutritional company like TriVita? The bottom line is, it's up to us to make a decision based on the facts and information we receive.

As mentioned earlier, any good information found, may have a counterpart. It's up to each of us to draw our own conclusion to the information we receive. It's also good to consider the source when it comes to your health and wellness. With that said, the best source would be your doctor or healthcare professional. As a matter of fact, before starting any vitamin supplementation regimen, always check with either of the individuals listed above.

Weight loss

Desperate To Lose Weight

If you are desperate to lose weight,there are so many diet and exercise programs out there it can be difficult to decide on the best weight loss plan to use. Choosing a weight reduction program is no easy task but you can make a reasonable selection if you consider your goals and your lifestyle before jumping into what you may think is the best weight loss plan for you.

First of all you need to consider the core of your weight problem. Do you want to drop ten or twenty pounds? Are you fighting a life-long obesity problem? Is your weight associated with a recent pregnancy? Does depression or mood adversely affect your weight? In order to find the best weight loss program, it is crucial that you consider the source of your problem.

For example, depression is a serious matter. Rather than trying to find the best weight loss strategies to use, a person who is depressed is better suited to research his mood condition. This individual may find that once the depression is treated, the pounds melt away. Treating the depression itself is often the best weight loss plan available.

A person who wants to drop some vanity pounds after giving birth would want to take a very different approach than someone who needs to lose a lot of weight that she has been carrying around for years and years. The best weight loss program for one person may not be the best for another. The new mom could benefit from taking on a trendy six-week fat burning exercise program while the lifelong obese problem will need medical intervention.

Speaking of medical intervention, make sure that you talk to your doctor about the best weight loss program for you. You can save a lot of time and effort by simply asking your physician about which program would be best for you. Your doctor can help you start off in the right direction.

You doctor can also suggest whether you should start and exercise program. The best weight loss strategy for many individuals is to simply start a reasonable exercise routine. You may find that you don’t really need to diet as long as you increase your activity.

Others might not benefit from the exercise approach. Some people are not healthy enough to engage in many exercise routines while others can injure themselves if they engage in rigorous activity. While it is always a great idea to exercise to lose weight, always talk to your doctor about the best weight loss program for your needs and lifestyle.
