Hidden Dangers of Soy: Soy Product Dangers

If you have been hearing all about how good soy products are for you, and how much the soybean can benefit your health on so many levels, then you might be very surprised to hear that soy is not any of these things!The truth is that soy could even be killing you and your family, and you may not even know it. Do you know what is in soy and soy protein? Did you know that if you are experiencing unusual weight gain, bloating and / or nausea, it could all be eliminated just by removing soy products from your diet?Today’s families are consuming soy and soy products much, much more than we ever were, all throughout history. Is it just a coincidence then, that today’s families are also seeing many more cases of obesity, thyroid problems, osteoporosis, cancer and many more diseases than our ancestors?I bought into the soy fad just like everyone else – until I went into anaphylactic shock! I discovered I was allergic to soy (deathly allergic!), and this prompted me to do some research into the subject. What I found out about soy shocked me into writing a book about it.You may be reading this and thinking, ‘they wouldn’t have put anything on the market if it wasn’t safe – aren’t these things tested and regulated?’ Well, they are not supposed to put things in the stores that aren’t safe, but I’m afraid that they are anyway! In 1966 they did a lot of research into soy and the harmful substance in the soybean. They found that there are naturally occurring compounds within the bean that are toxic to humans and animals. Soy has even been linked with breast cancer, Down syndrome and brain damage in infants!I guess the food manufacturers did not care about the research that was done in 1966. The soy industry makes $70 billion per year today, and whenever we buy soy and soy products we are giving them more reasons not to care!By now you may be wondering why I keep referring to soy products; did you know that due to advances in food technology, they are now isolating soy proteins, isoflavones and other substances found in the soy bean and adding them to foods where soy does not occur naturally? The stunning truth is that almost all processed and manufactured foods today have some form of soy in them.This is a highly disturbing fact, especially because soy actually takes away the nutrients in other foods, not allowing the body to benefit from them. There are many claims made about soy by the soy industry. We have all heard how soy will reverse your child’s obesity, how soy contains less calories and fat, how soy will prevent cancer, and the list goes on. However, there are many hidden dangers with soy products. Keep your family safe from soy protein danger. Do not feed your children soy products. Do not give your baby soy infant formula. Remember to research claims and “health products” before serving them to your family.Dangers of Soy More Articles:Soy Health Risks

Hypothyroidism Weight Gain by Zandra Jones

October 29th, 2008 by admin

Hypothyroidism weight gain is caused by an under active thyroid. It afflicts millions of people every year. It is a result of a decrease in the production of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). The pituitary is the gland that produces this hormone. The thyroid regulates the metabolism which helps to control weight. Without TSH in inadequate amounts, weight gain occurs.

Although hypothyroidism weight gain is very easy to treat with medication, symptoms of gaining weight are often very subtle. As a result, physicians do not look to the thyroid first as the cause of weight gain. Often hypothyroidism weight gain is overlooked or attributed to some other underlying ailment.

In order to get weight gain under control, you will need to work with your doctor to develop a medication and exercise plan. The two are interconnected, meaning that one will not work without the other. The good news is the symptom of weight gain is one of the most treatable afflictions of the disease. It is just a matter of finding the right medication and exercise routine.

When you suffer from hypothyroidism weight gain, it is possible to lead a normal life. Your doctor will order blood tests usually every month for the first six months, then after six months and at one year intervals unless there is a change. This will help to make sure that the disease is being properly controlled.

It is important to notify your doctor if you experience any sudden weight gain as it could be a sign that your medication needs to be adjusted. It is important to notify your doctor if you feel that you are loosing too much weight, as this could be an indication that your medication dosage is too high. This is also very dangerous to your health.

Whether your medication is too high, too low or you are not taking any at all, the possible consequences are the same – heart attack or stroke. So you need to be sure that you follow up on regular blood tests to be sure your dosage is at the right level and stay on a strict schedule with it.

The Ins and Outs Of Erectile Dysfunction - How Does This Disorder Victimize Men?

October 28th, 2008 by admin

The Ins and Outs Of Erectile Dysfunction - How Does This Disorder Victimize Men?

Erectile dysfunction, the disorder that restricts blood flow to the penis and makes the patient unable to facilitate erections required for sexual intercourse, can occur on account of a plethora of factors. What I want to state here is that impotency may be the direct consequence of your addiction to smoking, drinking and other similar vices. And even without your own responsibility, accidentally or incidentally you can become an erectile dysfunction patient.For instance, if on a car accident while driving down the road, a guy is hurt in the spinal cord, there are chances that he would fall prey to erectile dysfunction. Spinal cord injury prevents blood from flowing down to the penis and as a result it is highly probable that the person suffering from injury in the spinal cord would not be able to trigger off the erections necessary for satisfactory sexual intercourse.In the same league, the deficiency of the male sex hormone testosterone in the body can also lead to erectile dysfunction in a man. To clear the facts on this matter, it is to be mentioned that as a person reaches 30 or crosses this age, testosterone production may automatically decline in his body and the scaling down of the testosterone level in the body may lead to erectile dysfunction. Alongside all these factors, there are other causes also, namely diabetes, artery problems and thyroid diseases that can trigger off erectile dysfunction in a man.Whenever you are afflicted with impotency due to any of the aforementioned causes or any cause for that matter, always make it a point to consult a renowned urologist. Treatments, anti-impotency medicines such as Levitra, Viagra and various other therapies are available to treat this disorder. Just follow the instructions of your doctor and live a healthy and happy life.

Anti-Memory Problem, Anti-Aging

When we are young, we sometimes forget things as a part of normal, daily busy life. But when we age, this happens more frequently. However, there is no need to become worried about this phenomenon; after all, it is a natural part of the aging process for a human being. It is somewhat understandable and normal, though may cause occasional problems, for older people to do things like leave doors open, forget to turn TV’s or stoves off, or forget to pay bills.Normally for those who are experiencing memory problems, long-term memory adulthood may still be vivid, even as short term memory is faltering. Therefore, memory loss is usually diagnosed by a severe loss in short-term memory, as this is the kind of memory usually affected in old age. Most memory problems develop and progress gradually over time. Many women start experiencing memory loss during menopause, but may not notice the symptoms until later. As memory loss progresses, you may want to take steps to lesson it as much as possible, the natural way.When a memory problem becomes worse, this might indicate Alzheimer’s disease. With Alzheimer’s disease, daily activities such as eating and washing may not be able to be performed independently. Slighter memory problems, such as the “his name is just on the tip of my tongue, let me think” phenomenon, do not really affect daily life much. Memory problems can be caused by Parkinson’s disease, large and small strokes, depression, and medical problems such as thyroid disease.It may be necessary for you to seek treatment for a memory problem before it worsens. If you are over a certain age, you should look out for potential memory problem. Be alert for any sign of short-term memory decline. Forgetting your plan, for forgetting what you just did are often such signs. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you need to go and see a doctor, have him/her evaluate your memory changes and possibly get a prescribed treatment. What’s more, you should take extra nutrients to enhance your immune system, such as vitamins, herbs and supplements. Or you can take supplements for the natural treatment of memory problems. Those supplements are designed to support nervous system health and may help to improve a number of different aspects of brain function which may be important in the treatment of memory problems.

Reshape and Remodel Your Physical Performance with Clen

Clenbuterol is known as a sympathomimetic, a drug that mimics noradrenaline and adrenaline. As a selective beta-2 agonist, clenbuterol stimulates our body’s beta-receptors in the muscle and fat tissues. It does not only help a person lose weight but it also helps the body maintain a good figure when it is coupled with exercise. The effects of clenbuterol are best shown on the stimulation of type 2 beta receptors. It is effective in helping burn body fat. Clenbuterol comes in a 20mcg %26 40mcg tablets (though many reports of fake 20mcg tablets, so always try and buy 40mcg), it is also available in liquid, though this is mean for the treatment of Asthma in horses. Most users take 80-160mcg a day of Clenbuterol every day. Over the span of 3 weeks, Clenbuterol is more effective than most other drugs when used for fat loss, because of it’s thermogenic properties. You will notice the difference in your body temperature, it will be slightly raised, your body will burn about 5% more calories for every 1 degree of raised body temp. Several medical reviews have made note of Clenbuterol’s outstanding potential to enhance muscle gains, increase the rate of fat loss and weight loss. Buying clenbuterol is getting easier, many shops are now open on the internet selling Clenbuterol and other drugs like T3 Cytomel and Ketotifen. They have products that are very much needed by any individual that is conscious about their health—athletes, body builders, those taking diets, and others who want to improve performance or physical appearance. When you combine Clenbuterol with T3 Cytomel and/or Ketotifen tablets, you get even more weight loss power from your pills. Clenbuterol can only be taken for 3 weeks normally, but if taken with Ketotifen it can be used for 6-8 weeks without a break. T3 Cytomel is a drug that makes your thyroid work harder and therefore your metabolism is raised. T3 Cytomel also can only be taken for 3 weeks, so you can stack Clenbuterol %26 T3 (use them together) or alternate between 3 weeks of each.

The Connection Between Weightloss And Thyroid

October 26th, 2008 by admin

The Connection Between Weightloss And Thyroid

Your thyroid dictates much of your metabolism, any malfunction or disease afflicting this area may cause you to have problems in metabolism leading to a drastic problem with your weight - you may either gain weight, lose weight, or may find that losing weight is harder than usual. Those that plan diets do not take into consideration how their thyroids and metabolism may affect their weight loss program. Most experts and even the media pitch in and recommend that the best way to lose weight is cut calories. Those with a condition called hyperthyroidism suffer from an overactive thyroid leading to one having his or her metabolism skyrocket. If this is the case, then you will probably lose weight fast. This is a nice proposition for some who wish to lose weight. However, this is actually hazardous to the health. Aside from the medical difficulties such a disease brings, one will also notice weight problems as a result. These people have trouble keeping on weight and may notice weakness and bulging of the eyes. This disease may need special treatment from doctors. Hypothyroidism on the other hand works in the other direction - slowing metabolism until the body gains weight at an incredible rate. Like hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism causes a general weakness in the body. It too may need special treatment and may cause serious health problems if left unattended. While cutting calories in itself can be very hard for most people - imagine, the people involved in life and death struggles at the supermarket regarding whether to buy that extra box of sweets, some have exactly the opposite problem. Instead of eating too much calories - which is a problem in itself, they eat too little calories instead. Problem? What Problem The problem with some is that they believe that since the experts say that they have to cut calories, cutting calories to an inordinate amount will reap greater results. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. While cutting calories helps diets, consuming too little calories pushed the body into a hoard mode, the body’s metabolism slow to adapt to the lesser amount of available energy. If your body enters this mode, your body will work at such slow metabolism that losing weight becomes impossible. The technique here should be to reduce calories without the body slowing its metabolism. Only then can losing weight become easier. Another problem that can arise from decreased metabolism is that when your metabolism slows due to a drastic reduction in metabolism, and then you suddenly eat a good, hearty, calorie-filled meal, you are bound to gain more weight owing to the increased surplus of energy. This is why an imbalanced meal is highly discouraged among those that seek to lose weight. The sudden loss and increase of calories will cause an imbalance in one’s energy consumption directly affecting fat deposit. Here is a simple computation to help you get to the right amount of calories you will need per day so that you get your nutrients in the right balance. First of all, multiply your weight in kilograms by 30. If you only know your weight in pounds, divide it by 2.2 to get to its English equivalent. We divide this number by 30 because that is the number of calories you need to maintain your weight per pound of weight. For example if your weight in pounds is 150, divide it by 2.2. That will give you a figure of 68.18. This is your weight in kilograms. Multiply this by 30 and you will arrive at the amount of calories you will need per day to maintain 150 lbs. You may consult a nutritionist to help you come lose weight. In the end it all comes down to math. If you consume more that your body needs, it stores it as fat. Now is probably a good time to start studying the back of those grocery cartons. Try to keep your diet at a 40% protein, 25% fat, and 35% carbohydrate meals at 300 calories per meal. Spread out these meals in a day for optimum results. While it may be simple computation to get at numbers, do not forget the earlier mentioned fact that the body adapts to its condition. Expose it to extreme ones and you may find yourself getting results you never wanted. Consult a nutritionist for more advice.

Natural Therapies for Fat Loss

October 25th, 2008 by admin

Natural Therapies for Fat Loss

There are several methods to achieve fat loss like dieting, workouts, supplements, natural therapies as well as surgeries. Surgeries for shedding extra fat are not very popular due to their high cost and complications. Fat again get deposited after some duration of time. So people prefer natural therapies as compared to surgeries. These natural therapies are not only safe but cost effective too. Here we will discuss two common natural therapies that are beneficially used for fat loss.Magnet therapy for fat lossIn this therapy, magnets are used for curing a patient’s disease. Every magnet has two poles: North Pole and South Pole. When a magnet is tied to a string and suspended in the air, the end that points to the north is called the North Pole and the end that points to the south called South Pole. This is a universally accepted convention. Each pole has its own distinct characteristics. The South Pole is cold and it slow down various processes of the body. The North Pole is hot and it stimulates various processes of the body. In the treatment of obesity, the characteristic of the North Pole, that it stimulates the processes of the body, is very useful. As we know, in a fat person’s body, metabolism is slow and consequently the food, instead of being burnt away, gets transformed into fat. If the process of burning away the food can be stimulated in some way, the obesity can be prevented or removed.Metabolism of the body is directly related to the thyroid gland, which is located at the base of the throat, is stimulated with a North Pole, the basal metabolic rate goes up and the food is burnt in a larger quantity and that too faster. For this purpose, a fat person should keep the North Pole of a medium powered (1500 to 2000 gauss) magnet at the base of the throat for about 15 minutes. This should be done twice or thrice a day after meals. Besides this, he should drink 3 to 4 times during the day, the water treated with the North Pole of the magnet. Each time the quantity of the water should be about half a cup.Note: If a glass or a bottle filled with water is kept in constant contact with the North Pole of a magnet, at least for twelve hours, it becomes properly magnetized.Massage therapy for fat lossMassage is extensively used in the treatment of obesity and for removing the excess fat from particular parts of the body. It increases heat in the body and causes profuse perspiration. As a result of this, the basal metabolic rate goes up and health of the skin also improves.A person who massages his body himself gets enough exercise and consequently his excess calories are consumed. Besides this, massage improves the health of the skin. While massaging, care should be taken to ensure that the flow of the blood going towards the heart should be assisted and not vice versa. For instance, while massaging the arm, pressure should be applied in the direction from wrist to the elbow, but not from the elbow to the wrist.Disclaimer: This article is not meant to provide health advice and is for general information only. Always seek the insights of a qualified health professional before embarking on any health program.
