Losing Weight With Hypnosis

Losing Weight With Hypnosis

Controlling your weight and avoiding weight gain as you get older are important ways to prevent a host of weight-related health problems. Indeed, if you are more than 20 pounds over your ideal weight, you are at greater risk for a rogues’ gallery of potentially deadly conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, endometrial cancer, obstructive sleep apnea, and breast cancer. What’s more, most people who are overweight tend to avoid exercise, and that avoidance just adds to the toll paid for extra pounds. If you have a sedentary lifestyle and are overweight, you are at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and other health problems. And, if you already have a medical condition such as high cholesterol, being overweight puts you at higher risk for complications. The good news is that even modest amounts of weight loss can improve your health significantly. Loss of 10% of body weight can reduce blood pressure, high cholesterol, triglyceride, and high blood sugar levels. Today, there are many procedures that can contribute and help people loss weight effectively. One of the known procedure in losing weight is through hypnosis. However, many misconceptions have come up with regards to the application of hypnosis in losing eight. And because it does not involve drugs or any kinds of medications and surgery, many people tend to think that losing weight through hypnosis seems to be one of the safest weight loss program. To know more about hypnosis and its effects on losing weight, here is a list of some facts that will give you an insight about what it can do to your body weight. 1. Hypnosis can be an imminently risky if not done properly and not utilize by people who are highly trained with the real concept of hypnosis. Even if many people tend to think that hypnosis will not pose imminent danger to their health, still, it is important to know that the person who will do the procedure is skilled enough and that he or she knows what factors to consider before doing the procedures. 2. Hypnosis alone cannot eliminate excess fat from the body and, therefore, make somebody lose weight. Most health experts contend that hypnosis should only be a part of a whole assimilated process. It should never be used as the sole weight loss procedure. Moreover, one session of hypnosis will only have very minimal results on an individual’s weight. When losing weight, hypnosis matched with psychotherapy will be more effective than hypnosis alone. This is because hypnosis is only a state of deeply relaxing the mind, in which one can still be in control of his or her own body. 3. Hypnosis is one way of getting into the subliminal state of a person. When a person is on the “hypnotic stage,” the body is more responsive to suggestibility because of its intensified state of concentration. However, this does not necessarily mean that through hypnosis, one can already “reprogram” the mind of an individual. In reality, hypnosis can only run the range from trouble-free relaxation condition to proper initiation managed by a professional hypnotists. Hence, it should not be considered paranormal and magical in its upshots. Boiled down, people should be more aware that hypnosis is not a sole effective process in losing weight. It is more of a facilitator of various treatment techniques. Therefore, it should be combined with other weight loss management program to be effective in making people lose excess weight. In this manner, people will be able to lose more weight with a more relaxed and refreshed state of mind. As they say, a healthy mind is a healthy body.

Crush The Cravings For Weight Loss by Dr. Leslie Van Romer

October 29th, 2008 by admin

“I’m an addict. I need help.”

That’s what Esther courageously confessed to me not long ago.

And what dark demon dominated Esther and drove her to do something about it?

Could it have been nicotine, pain killers, or cocaine?

Goodness, no, not that bad. But plenty bad enough. And very common.

For starters, it can cause early aging, high blood pressure, cataracts, diabetes, anxiety, cancer, heart disease, migraines, kidney damage, asthma, acid stomach, osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, and arthritis.

And, if that’s not bad enough, that little white devil likes to stick around. It turns itself into fat and hides in all those places we don’t want it to—our tummies, thighs, hips, arms, and butts. Oh, yeah, it makes us fat.

Esther’s addiction: sugar—those pure, white crystals that sit in a canister-of-honor on our kitchen counters and sneak their way into a lot of our foods.

Esther couldn’t imagine life without it. Yet, she wanted to be free, and she wanted to lose weight.

Like all of us, Esther grew up on sugar. Her father loved sweets: Sunday cinnamon rolls, white cake with lemon filling and whipped cream, cream puffs, cookies, all kinds of goodies; even tomatoes, lettuce, and vegetables were topped with sugar. Her mother, who catered to her father’s sweet tooth, was obese.

We created a doable-for-Esther food plan that wrapped around craving-crusher foods: whole, fresh, unrefined fruits and vegetables.

Esther, one month later…

“The cravings went away within the first week. I lost 8.5 pounds – 3x my goal. I am full and satisfied. I have detached myself from food.

“I love this way of eating! It’s easy and tastes good to me.

“This is the first time in my life that I’ve lived 100% without sweets. I never thought I could do that. My cravings for milk and cheese are gone too.

“The greatest reward of all is knowing I can do it and the weight loss. I amaze myself.”

Esther amazes me too. She amazes me with her awareness of herself. She amazes me with her courage to stand up to her demon. She amazes me with her openness, willingness, and sheer guts to make changes.

Change is tough. Esther forged ahead anyway.

Above all else, Esther amazes me with her innate gift to inspire others just by being her lovely and genuine self, no matter what size she wears.

I noticed the bracelet on her beautiful, delicate wrist. I have to say—I am not a big fan of jewelry, but that bracelet caught my attention. It sparkled with light and color.

Esther had created it herself.

“Every different color crystal represents a different disease. Now I think differently about my bracelet. I think of what I am doing for myself to prevent getting cancer or heart disease.”

Esther created two bracelets for me—one for me and one for my daughter, Erin, one of the three loves of my life—my three children. This is my first jewelry purchase in over twelve years.

When I sat on my bed and gave it to my 27-year-old beauty, I explained what each colored crystal represented.

“Erin, when you wear this bracelet, think about what it represents. It represents the circle of life, the circle of love, and the circle of heath. Think about the most precious gift of all—your body. Think about what you are doing every day to take care of yourself.

“Your body must come first and everything else second, or there are not seconds.

“If you don’t take care of yourself for you, then please, Sweetie, take care of yourself for me. Know in your heart of hearts how much I love you, and I cannot live my life without you.”

After a tear or two, we hopped on our bicycles and embraced our magical moments together – made even more magical by those sparkles on our wrists.

Thank you, Esther, for being a spark in our lives, all of our lives. The circle of love goes round and round.

Be Active! But How?

Check out the benefits of being active, how much activity is best for you, and get a few tips to be more active now.

Copied from the American Diabetes Association web site

As you can see 9 out of 10 of people are overweight when suffering from type 2 diabetes, therefore, it is imperative that body weight must be controlled.

One must look at the percentage of people overweight on this continent today; it wasn’t like that 40 years ago was it? A person doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to know why this is so, we live in a different world today.

Our whole atmosphere, soil conditions, eating habits, are so different. The toxins we collect in our bodies which effect our organs do not allow our systems to work as the should.

I recall, a couple of years ago a show on Oprah Winfrey. Oprah had as a guest some sort of specialist, what he was doing was cutting up cadavers. Not the best subject for a show I think you will agree. The whole thing wasn’t very pleasant.

The specialist opened the subjects stomach and took out I would suggest about 10 lbs of pure fat. Right in the middle of the fat was the liver.

We have to ask ourselves how apart from the man carrying all this extra weight around all his life, how ever did his liver or his kidneys work to full efficiency.

You can well understand, Oprah had a lot to say about this as you can well understand.

They went into a long discussion as to why this was happening way more than it ever did.

They brought things up how thousands and thousands of people were suffering with so many different illnesses, which included diabetes due mainly to the toxins.

I quote from another article I wrote, “Why we have to get rid of toxins”

Victims of a Toxic Colon

Have you ever considered this simple question: Are you clean inside? We shower, brush our teeth and wash our hair on a daily basis, but we tend to ignore cleansing our insides until some form of disease sends us a wake-up call. Believe it or not, our insides, especially the colon which functions as the “sewer system” of our body, also requires regular cleaning.

Constipation, parasites, IBS, gas, bloating, stomach pain, chronic fatigue, digestive problems can all be signs of a toxic colon. Don’t be a victim, suffering silently from these painful and often embarrassing health conditions. Find out the truth about colon cleansing and how it can help you.

Why Is Colon Cleansing So Crucial?

We are all exposed to thousands of toxins and chemicals on a daily basis at work, in the home, through the air we breathe, our food and water supply, and through the use of pharmaceutical drugs. In addition, we are eating more sugar and processed foods than ever before in human history and regularly abuse our bodies with various stimulants and sedatives.

“Death Begins in the Colon”

These toxins and “dead” foods lead to poor digestion, constipation, toxic colon build-up, weight gain and low energy.

These common symptoms are more than just an inconvenience – they can lead to long-term health problems and serious disease.

The combination of environmental toxins, an unhealthy diet and parasites poses a grave danger to humans. “In fact, parasites have killed more humans than all the wars in history”, reported National Geographic in its award-winning documentary, The Body Snatchers.

In order to rid ourselves of these toxins it was required someone came up with a body cleanse which would be able to clean out the fat particles, and the toxins from the colon, liver, kidneys and lungs,plus all the other organs. I am happy to say I used John Anderson’s natural cleanse, after I used it I felt 100% better.

Hear what the experts are saying. visit http://theteam.isagenix.com Please click on the ISAVIDEOS on the left, listen to Dr Becky Natrajan, M.D.For full information why we have to get rid of Toxins.You can also take the opportunity to see what ABC and FOX television thought of this cleanse.

These Television giants felt that Isagenix was so far ahead in their thinking and their results, and were impressed enough to give this company the best advertising anyone could ever receive and that is free advertising.

Health Care Supplements

Health care supplements are nutritional supplements that the body requires in routine day to day life. Health care supplements are made from plant extracts, vegetables, fruits and medical herbs. Health care supplements ensure effectiveness with minimal or no side effects. A dietary supplement (also known as food supplement) is a preparation intended to supply nutrients (such as vitamins minerals, fatty acids or amino acids) that are missing or not consumed in sufficient quantity in a person’s diet.”DSHEA” or Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act is an act defining dietary or nutritional supplements as products taken by mouth, containing ingredients intended to supplement the natural diet. These ingredients may include vitamins, minerals, ‘botanicals’ (plant extracts), amino acids or other substances to increase the nutrition in the diet. Health supplements are specially made pills, powders or syrups which offer extra nourishment or medicinal benefits. If taken along with a healthy diet, these supplements can go a long way producing excellent health effectsAssuring the qualities of herbs and integrating them with vitamins, minerals and special extracts has led to the birth of these health care supplements which have, in a way, a boon the medicinal industry.

5 Step Diet To Lower Cholesterol!

October 28th, 2008 by admin

If you’re worried about lowering your cholesterol level you’re not alone. Changing your diet to lower cholesterol is usually the first step in cholesterol maintenance, before medicines are added. People who have high cholesterol may be able to lower their cholesterol levels with these simple lifestyle changes:

Step 5) The School of Medicine at Stanford University did a study consisting of 377 men and post-menopausal women, with high cholesterol. First they put them on a low-fat diet, and then had half of them to do aerobic exercise, and the other half did no form of exercise at all.

After one year, the exercising group had significantly reduced their cholesterol levels – while the sedentary group showed no such reduction in their cholesterol. So the 5th step is to add aerobic exercise to your lifestyle.

Step 4) Did you know that the average person makes about 75% of their blood cholesterol in their own liver, while only about 25% is absorbed from food. So you should be able to further reduce your cholesterol with dietary changes.

A low-fat diet with no trans-fats will lower your cholesterol anywhere from 8% to 20%. There are several very good low-fat diets – the Dash Diet, Mediterranean Diet, the South Beach Diet, Ultra metabolism Diet, and Weight Watchers Diet are all great diets to reduce your fat and trans-fat intake. All of these diets have either online programs or manuals and books to provide step-by-step instructions and menu plans. So your 4th step is to add a reduced fat diet.

Step 3) One of the reasons your body produces Cholesterol is a self preservation tactic. Your arteries develop cracks and stress fractures as a natural occurrence. Your body must patch these cracks and fractures or you will bleed to death.

The substance of choice for your body to use is Collagen. However, if the raw ingredients needed aren’t present in sufficient quantities to produce this miraculous elixir, cholesterol can also be used instead.

So to keep your collagen production at its peak, rather than giving your liver a reason to produce additional cholesterol, give your body plenty of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Your 3rd step is to add vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to your diet.

Step 2) 60 recent heart bypass surgery patients were divided into groups. The first group had no dietary restrictions, while the second and third group had one white or one red grapefruit each day.

The second and third group had significantly lowered cholesterol levels while the no grapefruit group showed no reduction. But the red grapefruit group also had a reduction in their triglycerides. So step 2 is “Eat Red Grapefruit”, which will incidentally help with step 3 as well.

Step 1) A study of 14,600 men and women ages 45 to 75, recently showed the participants’ total cholesterol declined as their number of meals per day increased. Those who ate five or six times a day had the lowest total cholesterol, on average approximately 5% lower, while the highest measurements were found among those who ate only one or two meals a day. So your number 1 step, and incidentally the easiest, is to eat five or six small meals a day, rather than one or two large ones.

If you find a diet to lower cholesterol and follow these 5 steps, you should have your cholesterol to healthy levels as quickly as possible.

Vegetarian diets can improve your health

October 28th, 2008 by admin

Vegetarian diets can improve your health

They happily munch on carrots, chew on celery sticks, eat tofu, and throw veggie burgers on the grill. People decide to give up meat, and become vegetarians for a number of reasons, including medical issues such as allergies, or high cholesterol. They change their way of life for nutritional reasons, such as food safety, weight loss, or general health improvement and most commonly, because of their determination to not consume living animals. Animal products contain fat and cholesterol, which is what many of today’s health conscious people try to avoid. Chickens, pigs and cows are often fed growth hormones and injected with antibiotics, which ends up in meat bought at the supermarket, or served in restaurants. Healthy, sensible vegetarian diets consists primarily of plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes like soya beans, lentils, nuts and seeds. Because the emphasis is on nonmeat food sources, a vegetarian diet typically contains less saturated fat and cholesterol, and will usually incorporate more fiber. Medical studies have shown that individuals following a vegetarian regimen seem to have a lower risk of obesity, coronary heart disease (which causes heart attack), high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and some forms of cancer. A well-planned vegetarian diet is loaded with nutritional values. Plant proteins can provide enough essential and non-essential amino acids a body needs, as long as the sources of the dietary protein are varied and a caloric intake is high enough to meet the individual%26rsquo;s energy needs. Soy protein, for example, has been proven to be equal to proteins of animal origin, and can, in some cases, be a sole protein source. When following a vegetarian diet, the risk of iron deficiency may be greater than for meat-eaters, and iron levels in the body may have to be monitored closely. The richest sources of iron are found in red meat, liver and egg yolk, all foods which are also high in cholesterol. That does not mean that iron cannot be retrieved from other foods. Dried beans, spinach, enriched products, brewer’s yeast and dried fruits are all excellent iron suppliers. The human body cannot survive without an ample provision of vitamins and minerals. Most of what the human body requires can be found in a vegetarian diets, but when it comes to vitamin D and B-12, vegetarians and vegans (they do not eat animals or animal by-products such as eggs, dairy, etc.), may need supplements. Vitamin B-12 can be found in some fortified breakfast cereals, fortified soy beverages, some brands of nutritional yeast and other foods (check the product labels), as well as vitamin supplements. Choosing a vegetarian lifestyle will improve your health and lower the risks of getting diabetes, heart disease, or cancer. Many wonderful dishes can be created with different kinds of beans - from Lima, kidney, pinto, garbanzo, soy beans, to black-eyed peas. These can be served with rice, added to delicious soups, stews, and mouth-watering salads, or made into a variety of casseroles, and ethnic dishes. Tofu, or soy bean curd, can be added to dips and spreads, or served with stir-fried vegetables, and pasta. For the grand finale, meals can be topped off with wonderful desserts made from juicy fresh fruits and a variety of exotic nuts. In conclusion, if you are concerned about your health, it may be worth while checking into a vegetarian diets. It is a healthy lifestyle with many benefits, which can also work for you!

Fast weight loss and rapid weight loss

October 28th, 2008 by admin

Fast weight loss and rapid weight loss

The idea of fast weight loss is one that many of us find quite attractive. We want to look good and have model bodies within a few days, or weeks. To attain a healthy, yet quick weight loss we should consult multiple diet guides and judge each one by their own merits. Ask yourself, what are you willing to eat during your diet, how much variation do you need, and will you be exercising? Rapid weight loss diets state that you can lose lots of weight in a short period. Of course, that comes with a price; your calorie intake is severely limited and you may have to prepare meals that are not as appealing as a piece of fried chicken or a slice of pizza. Also, often recommended during fast weight loss diets, are strenuous exercise programs, which will help you to burn off extra calories and tone some muscles. Diets, restricting certain types of foods and drinks, are also popular because of their fast results. During a specific time frame you are allowed to eat, for example, only certain kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables. The diet does allow you to alternate between having these foods either raw or cooked. Leafy green vegetables, such as kale, mustard greens, or spinach come highly recommended, because they are rich in vitamins and minerals. They contain few carbohydrates and are packed in layers of fiber, making them very slow to digest. Drinking lots of water during a quick weight loss plan is also a top priority. Benefits of drinking water are: it regulates your appetite, increases metabolism, boosts energy levels, makes for less water retention, helps to reduce blood pressure and high cholesterol, can ease joint pain, will release toxic waste products and can improve your skin texture. Do not give up, if one rapid weight loss plan does not work. What do you have to lose by trying another? If you are one of those people looking for a quick fix body make-over, then study all rapid weight loss options and set your goals, before deciding which one will suit you best. If you opt for diet pills, know they can suppress appetite, increase metabolism and reduce the body%26rsquo;s ability to absorb specific nutrients in fats. Some kinds are non-prescribed, but to obtain the more effective types, you will have to make an appointment with your physician. Diet pills will be successful only until your body has adapted to their effects. Check with your doctor if you notice any side effects. A quick weight loss plan may not always be the healthiest weight loss solution. If you are concerned, you should consult a doctor or dietician before trying it out. If you do go ahead with the diet, stop immediately if you feel any discomfort or faintness. Each body will respond differently to a diet, like it does with any kind of treatment, and remember, nobody but you will be able to figure out what sacrifices you are willing to make, and how much time you are willing to give yourself to reshape your body!

Cholesterol In Young Adult

October 28th, 2008 by admin

Cholesterol In Young Adult

Parts of adolescent’s body are filled with a waxy stuff identified as cholesterol. It helps to produce vitamin D, cell membranes and certain hormones. Blood cholesterol comes from two different sources, liver within the body and food. The adolescent’s liver produces enough cholesterol to carry out proper functioning. The blood acts as the carrier of cholesterol and transports it to different parts of the body. They are transported in round particle form known as lipoproteins. There are two types of lipoproteins called the low density lipoproteins or LDL and high density lipoproteins or HDL. Low density lipoprotein or LDL cholesterol is commonly known as bad cholesterol. It helps in the building up of plaque in arteries and this condition is known as atherosclerosis. The LDL level must be low in the blood and if it is high it must be decreased. Healthy weight must be maintained and exercise should be done regularly. Food items which have high contents of calories, dietary cholesterol and saturated fat must be avoided. High density lipoprotein or HDL cholesterol is the good cholesterol. It is actually a kind of fat in blood which helps to remove bad cholesterol from the body and stops the build up of plaque in the arteries. The more the HDL cholesterol in the blood the better it is. The HDL can be raised by at least twenty minutes of exercising daily, decreasing body mass and keeping away from food with saturated fat. Some adolescents need to take medications in order to increase HDL. In such cases, increasing HDL can be a complicated procedure and the physician can make a therapeutic plan to increase HDL in the blood stream. Cholesterol screening helps to determine the cholesterol and fat levels in the blood. Children and adolescents with normal cholesterol level is a thing of the past. Because of the changing lifestyle and junk food trend, even they have a high risk to develop high levels of cholesterol which also increases the risk of developing heart diseases which can affect the blood vessels and the coronary arteries. The main cause of this change is obesity, junk food high in fat, fast food diets, sedentary lifestyle and high cholesterol level in family history. Keeping the blood cholesterol levels at normal is a good way of avoiding high blood pressure and coronary artery diseases. The blood cholesterol level can vary from individual to individual. Healthy levels of LDL is less than one hundred and thirty milligrams, HDL is greater than thirty five milligrams. If the HDL is less than thirty five milligrams then the adolescent is at a higher risk of developing heart diseases. And LDL more than one hundred and thirty milligrams is dangerous. But a high level of LDL cholesterol is a problem in many citizens of America. And there is an expected increase in number, the figure is unknown, of adolescents who have a family history of high cholesterol levels. An adolescent or a child who has a parent having high levels of blood cholesterol and family history of heart diseases at an early age, should take cholesterol test from the age of two. Adolescents who are obese also should have lipid test along with cholesterol test. The lipid test shows levels of kinds of fats in blood such as triglycerides, LDL and HDL.

Mediterranean diet

What is the next phase in healthy eating? According to Robert Ancill, President of The Next Idea, Los Angeles based Restaurant Consultancy consumers are taking increasing interest in Mediterranean cuisine. In 2007, The Journal of the American Medical Association reported, a combination of the Mediterranean diet, moderate exercise and drinking, and no smoking can lower mortality rates by 65 percent. What is the Mediterranean diet? It%26rsquo;s heavy on the olive oil and light on meat and dairy. It also includes lots of fish, vegetables, seeds, grains, nuts and legumes. The first study was conducted over 12 years (1988%26ndash;2000) by researchers at Wageningen University in the Netherlands and other European universities. Twenty-three hundred healthy people between the ages of 70 and 90 were surveyed about their eating habits and physical activities. Another study conducted at the Second University of Naples found that people who suffered from %26ldquo;metabolic syndrome%26rdquo; improved after following a Mediterranean diet. Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Symptoms include being fat around the middle, having high cholesterol and high blood pressure, and improper processing of glucose. After two years, only 44 percent of those on the Mediterranean diet still suffered symptoms. Ancill reports that The Next Idea has experienced a larger than normal interest in Mediterranean concepts both from entrepreneurs and restaurant investors. In a recent interview Robert Ancill commented; %26ldquo;Possibly we will eventually see a Healthier consumer if such a trend gains traction in the market place, the question is whether operators will understand the unique economics of executing a Mediterranean menu%26rdquo;.
