The importance of a healthy diet

Posted by Matthew | Diet, Food, Health, obesity | Sunday 8 August 2010 2:00 pm

It may seem shocking, or not so shocking to some but a quarter of women are now a size 18 or bigger which is an increase of 45% in five years which is more than 6 million women now on the verge if not are obese. This means there has never been a better time to get people to understand the importance of a healthy diet, it doesn’t have to mean you go on a diet where you count calories and never eat a chocolate bar again which is what stops most people, instead it’s about having a better understanding of food and what it does to you.

A health balanced diet must consist of:

Carbohydrates – You need these to provide energy.
Proteins – These are important for growth and repair.
Fats – These aren’t as made as they are made out to be, fats provide energy and also contain fat soluble vitamins.
Vitamins – You need small quantities of these to help keep you healthy.
Mineral salts – If you want health teeth, bones and muscles you must make sure you incorporate these.
Fibre – Is very important, your body needs it to help your intestines function properly.

It is important to make sure you consider these as part of your diet however you need to remember that you shouldn’t consume anything to excess as this can have a detrimental effect, so although the above are good for you, you need to remember everything in moderation.

If you follow a healthy diet you will protect yourself against numerous problems such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer, healthy eating will also help control your weight, cholesterol and blood pressure as well as preventing blood clots and fatty deposits building up in your arteries.

Women’s sexual problems

Since the arrival of Viagra on the market talking about men’s sexual dysfunction is not the taboo subject it once was, and now it is much more widely known about and much more widely discussed about however the same cannot be said yet of women’s sexual dysfunction problems. Sex is a natural part of being a women, however as it is with men the body can be ‘upset’ by a number of different causes that make sex either painful, hard to orgasm, or just not make you want it at all.

There are a number of medical reasons why as a wan you feel unable to have sex or do not get any satisfaction from it, these include: diabetes, high blood pressure, and depression, now you can take drugs to combat the medical problems, however many women are still left with some form of sexual dysfunction.

However there are available on the market now, wither online, from your pharmacist or your doctor medication that can be taken to combat the sexual problems you suffer from. Intrinsa for example is a great medication if you are a female suffering from low sexual desire, it is a patch (much like a smoking patch) that is worn on the skin and releases small amounts of testosterone into your bloodstream on a time delay through absorption. You will then be able to feel more sexually aroused something which you may not have felt in a long time.

Posted by Matthew | Diet, Travel, Weight loss, obesity | Monday 2 August 2010 11:37 am

Getting on top of your weight problem and combating it is a huge milestone for anyone who is overweight, the next one is keeping up with your healthy diet and lifestyle, and this is where many people struggle. Anyone who has had weight problems knows only too well that once you have lost the weight you need to keeping it off is very hard and trying not to go back to your old bad habits.

As summer is upon us one thing that many people worry about is sticking to your diet when your away, if you don’t you run the risk after enjoying ‘treats’ whilst away not been able to get back into your old routine. Just because you are on a diet or you are on a new healthy eating plan doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your holiday whilst keeping your healthy eating habits intact and lose pounds.

Because you are away, either here in the UK or abroad you will have to modify your eating habits and be creative and smart about your choices, you will find yourself dining out a lot, eating at different time to when your body is use to or just having a huge range of food in front of you.

The main thing to remember is that you are on holiday and your are there to enjoy yourself, and being on a diet shouldn’t stop that, you just need to make good choices such as go for foods that are baked, grilled or barbequed and never anything that is deep fried, if you’re going somewhere tropical, make the most of the fresh foods available such as fruit, salad, vegetables and fresh seafood. You also need to remember portion control especially if you are dining at a buffets tempting as it maybe to put all this lovely fresh food on your plate you need to remember your intake, especially if you are doing less exercise than you would do at home.

You can also make the most of exercise when you are away, bring your trainers and explore where you are by foot, or if you have a hotel gym make the most of it, you don’t have to do as much as you would at home but a little is better than nothing, but most of all remember to have fun and don’t let your diet dominate your holiday.

Weighty issues – Part 3

Posted by Matthew | Diet, Doctors Surgeries, Food, Weight loss | Saturday 24 July 2010 3:57 pm

For many obese people losing weight can seem like an uphill struggle, no diet seems to work and you find it hard to exercise, so what else can you do? Many people find that their doctors struggle to provide them with specialist advice on diet and exercise, which is why an increase in the number of prescription weight-loss drugs being given out in England is continuing to rise.

For many taking diet pills such as Acomplia, Reductil and Xenical is a last resort after many years of struggle, research shows that weight loss pills cost the NHS £47 million last year, an average of £32 per prescription. Steve Field, chairman of the Royal College of GPs, said: “Dealing with patients who are grossly overweight is very difficult, but pills are not the solution. What these patients need is a balanced diet and expert dietary advice from a dietician and often psychological support, to change their behaviour long-term. But the availability of these services is not great and doctors resort to prescribing medication under patient pressure.”

Whatever the solution being overweight and obese causes long term health problems and often the damage cause can be irreversible, but because there is no quick fix solution this will be a matter that won’t go away which is why weight loss is serious buisness.

Weighty issues – Part 2

Posted by Matthew | Health, obesity | Saturday 17 July 2010 2:04 pm

Weight for many is a big issue, there are many health problems now been linked to obesity, one of which is an obesity gene that causes excessive weight gain may also be linked to Alzheimer’s disease, according to recent research scientists have found that that people with the FTO-AA gene had a 58 per cent increased risk of Alzheimer’s, which is the most common form of dementia. They found that obese people with the gene their overall risk of developing dementia was increased by 48 per cent and the risk of Alzheimer’s doubled in people who had both the obesity gene and the most common Alzheimer’s gene, APOE4.

1,000 elderly people were tested by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden for the genes before monitoring their progress for nine years they then recorded any new cases of Alzheimer’s or dementia. These findings have been presented at the International Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease in Hawaii. The director of research at the Alzheimer’s Society, Professor Clive Ballard, said: ‘We need a greater understanding of the link between genetic and lifestyle factors but until then, there are things we can all do to lower the odds of dementia. Eating healthily and exercising regularly will protect your head as well as your heart.’
