Myths of Weight Loss - The Truth Exposed!

Myths as told by your forefathers up till this very day! Here goes -

- You have to count them calories, baby!

To a certain extent, yes. But if you focus on what you eat and the quantity on the table and the actual physical size of the food itself, what is there to count? Moderation is the key!

- You can reduce fat loss in certain parts of your body alone! B$llsh*@t! You can get a surgeon to do that if that's what you want. You should be losing fat in your overall body fat mass and this is in fact what is happening and should be happening! This is always the goal and your end point!

- Weight training will get you looking like Arnie the U.S. mayor or some World Federation Wrestling dude! Most women in their lifetime will not have the possibility to produce big muscles as it is not genetically possible. On the other hand, muscles actually tone your body to make it look smaller. Men are actually crazily attracted to women who have some muscle tone (not the extreme, of course) on their body as this makes them look ever so sexy!

- Sit-ups will get you 6-packs! Red alarm! It is the fat on your body that what does it. It is the proper diet and training that aids to the 6-packs.

- Reduce carbohydrates and fatty stuff = weight loss. Bullsh%t again! The problem with us is taking refined foods which is not good for our body in the long run. Your body still needs all types of nutrients. You should be reducing unhealthy carbohydrates like white rice and baked stuff and unhealthy fats like saturated, trans, hydrogenated oils.

- You must force your body to endure the workout in the gym for long hours and several days a week. When you apply appropriate intensity in your workouts, it only requires you some 20 mins or so! And it will have lasting effects!

Age Appropriate Foods - Review on What Foods to Eat at your Age!

Do you know what you eat should also go with your age group? When your body ages, the same foods might not be as useful as it would ten years back.

When I'm 20 years old I need 2000 calories on average

You are running at your peak and your body uses energy very quickly. Cook yourself pasta and baked potatoes and consume lots of vegetables and fruit servings. Have high omega foods like salmon which influence the development of your future baby's brain!

When I'm 30 years old I need 1900 calories on average

Having kids, you will now weight an extra kg or more and you are slowly losing your once tone and muscular body. As muscles use more calories than fat, your diet should involve fiber rich foods including whole grain products. Whole wheat foods, sunflower seeds which gives magnesium (which helps relaxing) and whole wheat bread instead of white bread.

When I'm 40 years old I need 1800 calories on average

Have soybeans, soy milk, tofu as they contain fat, protein, vitamins A and B. Soy = estrogen = menopause relief. At this point in your life, you need to reduce fat intakes as it will affect your future weight and health drastically. Berries, strawberries, tomatoes, melons contain antioxidants which enhance your youth and you will see less wrinkles. Moderation of nuts also help prevent heart disease as they contain vitamin E (another antioxidant aid)

When I'm 50 years old I need 1700 to 1800 calories

Reduce your intake of sugar like sweets. Reduce your intake of foods overall. Your hormones just cannot cope with your additional foods intake if you continue to be careless. Yogurt contains calcium to ensure healthy bones. Liver once a week gives vitamin D and B12 which is needed by older folks. As you get older, instead of staying slim, you need to adjust and take up more foods or else any disease will actually attack your fats and you need to keep yourself physically active or least your body will deteriorate even faster! Take essential oils and nuts (nuts are rich in selenium fighting against many types of cancer in old age). Asparagus and broccoli contain folic acid which continues to keep the brain healthy. When you hit the 70's, you need foods rich in zinc like red meat and seafoods and grain. This keeps your taste buds alive. And not to forget, lots of various vitamins!

How to lose Belly Fat? Easy!

To lose some belly fat, you may get extra help from these foods -
Let's go whole grains, especially oats and barley. The soluble fiber in these grains slows down the entry of sugars and fats into your bloodstream. This helps your body respond to insulin. Fatty adults who have a diet rich in whole grains for 12 weeks lose more tummy fat than those who ate refined grains as reported in a US state.
Are you eating the right fats? Researchers found that in people with insulin resistance, a high-carbo diet redistributed their body fat to their bellies, whereas a diet rich in monounsaturated fat did not. Good sources of healthy fats - avocados, olive oil and walnuts.
Eat Foods rich in water. These water-rich foods like tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, melons and oranges reduces your waist, as suggested by research centers. Just drinking more beverages didn't help, but water in foods helps you feel fuller faster.
Purple is the way to go! The secret consists of anthocyanins, antioxidants found in many purple and purplish fruits and vegetables like red purple grapes, blueberries, red cabbage.Think of purple, that is the idea!
Go Japanese! Reduced your waist line with green tea! Add green tea extract into your drinks and you will reduce your waist line in 3 months (with proper exercise of course), as studies have shown.

Knee Arthritis Striking at Younger Ages, But Weight Loss May Help

SATURDAY, Nov. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Arthritis of the knee is striking Americans at younger ages, new research has found, but shedding a few pounds if you're overweight may reduce your risk.

The studies were to be presented Saturday at the American College of Rheumatology annual meeting, in Chicago.

Nearly 6.5 million Americans between the ages of 35 and 84 will receive a diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis in the next decade, according to these new projections.

"The diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis is occurring much earlier," said study author Dr. Elena Losina, co-director of the Orthopedics and Arthritis Center for Outcomes Research at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

When she compared the age at diagnosis in the 1990s to ages in the 2010s, "the average age at diagnosis has moved from 69 to 56," she said.

It strikes some earlier than the average age, of course. Losina found that adults aged 45 to 54 will account for nearly 5 percent of all knee osteoarthritis (OA) cases in the 2010s, while they represented only 1.5 percent of the knee OA patients in the 1990s.

Losina suspects that obesity and knee injuries, both of which have become more common in the past decade, may be helping to drive the increase in knee OA among younger people.

Injuries to the knee have been linked with an increased risk of knee arthritis. And certain sports are riskier than others, said another researcher, Dr. Jeffrey Driban, an assistant professor of rheumatology at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. He reviewed studies that looked at a link between sports participation and knee OA. He focused on 16 studies, and then honed in on 10 that looked at athletes and nonathletes.

While there were not great differences later in the amount of knee OA for former sports players and nonathletes, he did find a risk linked with the type of sport and level of participation.

Soccer players, whether elite level or not, had a greater risk of knee OA, he found. So did elite long-distance runners, competitive weight lifters and wrestlers.

The increased risk of arthritis in these participants varied from about threefold to more than sixfold compared to nonathletes, he said.

For those who already have knee OA, the best medicine may be weight loss if they are overweight, and exercise.

In another study, Dr. Stephen Messier of Wake Forest University found that a program of diet and exercise reduced pain and improved mobility by as much as 50 percent in those with knee arthritis.

He assigned adults with knee OA and pain to one of three groups for the 18-month program. One group dieted only, one group exercised only and one group did both.

In all, 399 overweight or obese men and women, average age 66, completed the study. The diet and exercise group lost the most weight, averaging 11.4 percent of their body weight. The diet-only group lost 9.5 percent; the exercise-only group lost 2.2 percent.

When they compared pain and mobility, the diet and exercise group reported much less pain and had greater walking speed than the other groups.

Driban suggested that those who want to minimize the risk of knee OA later should consider sports with a lower knee injury risk, such as swimming and cycling.

However, a sports medicine specialist took issue with that suggestion. "There is no evidence that impact sports like running causes arthritis in a healthy knee," said Dr. Stephen Nicholas, director of the Nicholas Institute of Sports Medicine and Athletic Trauma at Lenox Hill Hospital, in New York City.

Like other experts, he does agree that once a knee injury occurs, a person is at higher risk for knee arthritis.

However, if someone has a healthy knee, Nicholas said he would tell them to pick the sport they enjoy.

Losina's research was funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. All three studies should be viewed as preliminary, as they were presented at a medical meeting and not yet peer-reviewed.
