Essential Source Launches Free On-Line Weight Loss Consultation for Consumers

Posted: May 30, 2012 at 10:20 pm

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) May 30, 2012

With the countless number of natural weight loss supplements on the market today, consumers are finding it difficult to determine which product or combination of products will work best for them. There are a number of personal factors that can effect weight loss results, including but not limited to how active they may be at home and work, their body type, and weight loss goals.

Now, with the development of PleaseHelpMeLoseWeight.info, consumers can easily complete a comprehensive 10 question survey, which assigns a point value to the consumer's answers. The total score will determine which product, or combination of products, will help them achieve their desired goals quickly, safely, and effectively.

Justin Zehrung, Vice President of Essential Source stated, "Dr. Oz has recommended many natural ingredients like Raspberry Ketone and African Mango Extract, to lose weight. We've made it easy for the consumer to determine which will work best for them. We've taken all of the guess work out of choosing the right supplement for the consumer, as well as the retailers who sell weight loss supplements to consumers. Regardless of a consumer's age, weight, eating habits, or stress level, the survey will provide an effective weight loss solution."

Essential Source is dedicated to developing more convenient ways for consumers to take their vitamins, while increasing the overall effectiveness of their nutritional supplements as a whole.

Beating diabetes via surgery, without weight loss

Posted: May 30, 2012 at 10:19 pm

NEW YORK Cristina Iaboni had the dubious distinction of being not quite obese enough. For all the pounds on her 5'5" frame, she did not meet the criteria for bariatric surgery to help control her type-2 diabetes.

Don't miss these Health stories

Becky Meltons friend request to Jerry Wilde, a complete stranger in dire need of a new kidney, came with a photo and a gift. The texted photo: a picture of Melton, 28, holding a hand-drawn sign showing two kidneys and a message -- Were a match!

Yet six years of medications and attempts at healthy living had failed to rein in her blood glucose, leaving Iaboni terrified that she was on course to have her kidneys fail "and my feet cut off" -- common consequences of uncontrolled diabetes.

Then the 45-year-old Connecticut wife, mother of two and head of human resources for a Fortune 500 company, lucked out. In 2009 she met with Dr Francisco Rubino of Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York. He had just received approval to study experimental surgery on diabetics with a relatively lean weight-to-height ratio, or body-mass index (BMI). Iaboni was among his first subjects.

Three years on, she has dropped 50 pounds to reach a healthy 145 and has normal blood pressure without medication. That isn't too surprising: Weight loss is the purpose of bariatric surgery and often reduces blood pressure. More remarkable, Iaboni no longer has diabetes.

She is not the first patient with diabetes, which can be triggered by obesity, to be cured by weight-loss surgery. But she is a rarity for having it with a BMI well below 35 and over. That's the level at which the American Diabetes Association says surgery "may be considered" and that Medicare and some private insurers cover. And Iaboni's diabetes disappeared months before she shed much weight.

Her experience has raised an intriguing possibility: that some forms of bariatric surgery treat diabetes not by making patients shed pounds. Instead, by rerouting part of the digestive system, they change what signals the gut sends to the brain and the brain sends to the liver, altering the underlying causes of diabetes.

If proven, bariatric surgery may help people with type-2 diabetes who are less obese, overweight or even of healthy weight. And it might be effective against the currently incurable type-1, or "juvenile," diabetes, too.

Updated Academy Of Nutrition And Dietetics Position Paper Confirms Safety And Benefits Of Low-Calorie Sweeteners

Posted: May 30, 2012 at 3:20 am

ATLANTA, May 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Consumers can safely enjoy a range of sweeteners, both full-calorie and low-calorie ones, as part of a healthy diet guided by current nutrition recommendations, according to a newly updated position paper by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association). The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (the Academy) is the world's largest organization of food and nutrition professionals.

In the "Position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: Use of Nutritive and Nonnutritive Sweeteners," published in the May issue of the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the Academy concludes: "It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that consumers can safely enjoy a range of nutritive sweeteners and nonnutritive sweeteners when consumed within an eating plan that is guided by current federal nutrition recommendations, such as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Dietary Reference Intakes, as well as individual health goals and personal preference."

According to the position paper, greater consumption of foods and beverages with added sugars is associated with higher calorie intake, yet lower diet quality. The Academy recommends limiting added sugar and states that nonnutritive (low-calorie) sweeteners are a safe way to restrict calories in the diet. The position paper details and supports the safety and benefits of acesulfame potassium, aspartame, monk fruit, neotame, polyols, saccharin, stevia and sucralose as sweeteners. On the topic of taste, the Academy offered that "liking of sweet taste is innate" and that "preference for sweet taste may be genetic," rather than due to the consumption of low-calorie sweeteners, as some have alleged.

The Academy offers suggestions for healthfully consuming nutritive and non-nutritive sweeteners, including:

An abstract, podcast and full PDF of the position paper can be found on the Academy's website. For more information, visit http://www.eatright.org.

Mediterranean diet is definitively linked to quality of life

Posted: May 30, 2012 at 3:20 am

ScienceDaily (May 29, 2012) For years the Mediterranean diet has been associated with a lesser chance of illness and increased well-being. A new study has now linked it to mental and physical health too.

The Mediterranean diet, which is characterised by the consumption of fruit, vegetables, pulses (beans, peas, chickpeas and lentils etc.) , fish, olive oil and nuts, has been proven to be beneficial to the health in terms of a lesser chance of chronic illness and a lower mortality rate.

A new study headed by the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the University of Navarra took the next step and analysed the influence of the Mediterranean diet on the quality of life of a sample of more than 11,000 university students over a period of four years.

"The progressive aging of the population in developed countries makes it even more interesting to find out those factors that can increase quality of life and the health of the population," as explained by Patricia Henrquez Snchez, researcher at the centre in the Canary Islands and lead author of the study.

Dietary intake data was taken at the beginning of the study and self-perceived quality of life was measured after the four year monitoring period. In order to ascertain whether the Mediterranean diet was followed, consumption of vegetables, pulses, fruit, nuts, cereals and fish was positively valued whereas consumption of meat, diary products and alcohol was negatively valued.

Published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the results reveal that those who stick more to the Mediterranean diet score higher on the quality of life questionnaire in terms of physical and mental well-being. This link is even stronger in terms of physical quality of life.

The Mediterranean Pyramid

Henrquez states that "the Mediterranean diet is an important factor associated with better quality of life and can be considered as a healthy food model." Its food pyramid combines food to be eaten daily, weekly and occasionally.

Main meals should never lack three basic elements: cereals, fruit and vegetables and dairy products. Furthermore, it must include a daily intake of 1.5 and 2 litres of water. Olive oil constitutes the main source of fat for its nutritional quality and moderate consumption of wine and other fermented beverages is recommended.

Furthermore, fish, lean meat and eggs are sources of high quality animal protein. Fish and seafood are also sources of healthy fats.

Didier Drogba Weight Loss 2012 Didier Drogba Diet Programs - Isn't amazing how all of the celebrities you see have a celebrity diet plan for weight loss to maintain their weight. Some of them are shapely and healthy looking, and look good on camera. Others look like they haven't eaten in weeks, like they just got back from the famine in Ethiopia for a few weeks. Like they had been starving themselves to lose weight, and that is probably what they have been doing. You see it in all the tabloids, this person lost 100 pounds again, this one gained 100 pounds, and then lost 150 pounds. Some are not as dramatic; this one lost 40 pounds and is a television spokesperson, because the previous celebrity diet spokesperson gained the weight back. The fact is they may be starving themselves to lose weight, fasting like they are going through a famine.

Celebrities make dieting look so easy, don't they? One month they're on the cover of US Weekly for gaining too much weight and the next they're headlining the "sexiest beach bods" story. It is true that seriously overweight people can lose large amounts of fat in a quick amount of time, because of the large fat content in their cells. But those that are only a few pounds overweight, losing 40 pounds in a month, is not only starvation, it is malnutrition and can have serious side effects. Our body weight can fluctuate day to day and the best diets take the weight off gradually, the way it came on.

Researches indicate that individuals who indulge in a weight loss program by taking prepared meals end up losing an additional 31% weight as against those who cook their own meals. With help, losing weight is made easier and at times much faster as against doing it on your own.Diet delivery is gaining popularity in a big way as it is fairly affordable by even the common man, roughly around $20 a day with an increasing variety to choose from. A few of which include: Zone-compliant meal, low carbs plan, veggie meals, and gourmet too.

With the rapidly increasing epidemic of obesity and increasing BMI levels, there is an array of products and diet plan to aid in combating obesity. Celebrity slim diet, the basic idea is to educate people and not to depict food as an enemy. Like a lot of famous diets in Hollywood, if your body thinks you are starving, it is going to hold on to every calorie you take in to keep you from starving to death instead of burning them for energy. When you follow a properly balanced weight loss diet, your metabolism will hardly notice the decrease in calories and continue to burn fat it doesn't need to store. This is a more long-term weight loss strategy.

Celebrities do not have secrets about dieting. They are normal people like the rest of us but, unlike most of us, they have people working for them such as diet advisors and personal trainers. Celebrity diets involve a level of commitment and dedication which we struggle with. The best celebrity diets involve eating sensibly and limiting our calorie intake. Having these factors in mind will allow you to have safe and easy weight loss that will provide you with short term and long term consistent results.

AS a busy nurse, Sam Wiles found her hectic lifestyle and shift work was causing her to reach for calorie-laden snacks and quick fat-filled meals.

Description

But since joining a new weight management programme, which was piloted in Carlisle, she has transformed her life, dropped several dress sizes and shed 19lbs.

The Momenta programme was started by Jonathan Scott, an ambassador for national weightloss scheme MEND.

The healthy living consultant, from Houghton, Carlisle, moved into his current career following his own battle with obesity. As a teenager it drove him to the brink of suicide, weighing more than 19 stone by the time he was 15.

But he has since shed almost half his body weight and is now helping others make healthier, happier choices.

After hearing about the new Momenta adult weight management programme, he decided to pilot it in Carlisle.

28 MAY 2012

Andie Macdowell, Salma Hayek, and Naomi Watts are just three of the beauties we've seen working it at Cannes 2012.

And they are all looking in fantastic shape for their forty-plus years.

The good news is that whilst you can't stop the ageing process, you can slow down, halt and even improve some of the physiological changes that take place through regular exercise.

Keeping healthy and active through regular exercise and eating sensibly is important at any age. As we hit our 40's and beyond it becomes vital to our well-being to maintain regular exercise and daily activity.

Sohere aretop tips for staying fit and fabulous over forty! 1. Set yourself a goal Having a vague notion of wanting to stay fit is unlikely to be enough to keep you focused. Setting a specific goal can be great for motivation and gives a purpose to each training session. It can be as simple as improving your distance over a given time on an exercise bike, rowing machine or treadmill in the gym, or taking part in a more ambitious event such as a 5 or 10km run.

There are plenty of fitness charity events to take part in too such as Race for Life, The Moonwalk, and The Three Peaks Challenge. Taking part in a big organised event can offer a huge incentive and the camaraderie and sense of achievement afterwards will do wonders for your social life and self-esteem!

2. Ditch the diet A recent survey showed the average woman has been on 61 diets by the age of 45.
