How to lose those last few kilos the healthy way – Who

Posted: October 13, 2020 at 6:56 pm

1. Cut the alcohol

It's not rocket science most alcoholic drinks are fuelled by sugar. Alcohol is also adiuretic, which means when you drink, you're letting go of all the good liquids and water quicker, which can result in dehydration (and kind of explains the hangovers).

One of the easiest ways to cut-back on your daily calorie intake is to take a break from alcohol. Or, if you're setting the bar too high (no judgement here), try to at least make smarter drinking decisions: steer clear of high-sugar drinks and opt for soda water with spirits.

2. Rapid Loss meal replacement shakes

Rather than a restrictive diet, Rapid Loss Meal Replacement Shakesare a weight loss tool that's based on the concept of burning more calories through exercise, activity and metabolism, than you consume, in food and fluid intake.

Formulated by Accredited Food Technologists, the shakes are high in fibre and packed with protein, helping to keep you feeling fuller for longer and rule out the temptation to overeat. They are also formulated with energy-boosting Guarana extract and B Vitamins, Iron and Magnesium tohelp reduce fatigue and tiredness. Plus, they also come withVitamin C to help with the production of natural collagen for beautiful skin. (Win.)

The shakes come in six different flavours and can be used in recipes, meaning you'll never get bored of them. Rather, you'll actually love having them as a part of your diet and will achieve your weight-loss goals a whole lot faster.

Rapid Loss Meal Replacement Chocolate Shake, $27.95

Counting Chocolate and Salted Caramel among her favourite flavours, Rapid Loss customer Veronica lost 5.6 kilograms in just six weeks from using the meal replacement shakes.

"Over the six weeks I watched and took measurements, my waistline has returned," she said. "Im looking slimmer, is amazing with what and where the weight has gone from.

"Besides [losing] weight, I have noticed that my energy levels have increased; I am becoming more active, which is great to see, and another benefit of the program. Starting to rebuild my strength also."

3. Change-up your approach to exercise

If you're one of the lucky ones who loves to get physical every day, good for you. For the rest of us, squeezing in a workout each day can feel like a chore. While exercising may never be your favourite thing to do, a change in perspective could see you enjoying it a lot more.

On the night before you workout, pinpoint the exact time you are going to exercise. When you make workouts a part of your regular routine, rather than something you hope to get around to, you'll be more likely to do it.

Find a physical activity youactuallylike if you can't stand walking, look to group classes that will help to motivate and challenge you. Also remember that if you aren't having success in your chosen activity straight away, don't get down on yourself. Fitness levels develop overtime and each day is one step closer to reaching your goals.

Lastly, stop looking to exercise as a solution to weight-loss and see it for the gift it is: a regular hit of endorphins.

4. Get kitchen adventurous

FACT: good-for-you meals don't have to be boring or bland. Thanks to social media, there's now plenty of opportunities to find recipes that tick both the healthy and delicious boxes.

Not a cook? There's plenty of simple recipes that cater to beginners. Look up your meal favourites and Google substitution ingredients that will make meals lower in calories.

To kick start your weight-loss journey, try eliminating refined carbohydrates and replacing them with lower-in-calorie-but-just-as-nutritional carbohydrates from fruits and veggies. Easy dishes such as spaghetti Bolognese and homemade pizzas can be made using veggies such as zucchini and cauliflower.

Who knows? You may end up loving the kitchen!

5. Prepare for the snack attack

No matter how good our weight-loss intentions are at 9am, come 3pm, we can be feeling a lot less motivated. Rather than hit the vending machine or chocolate cabinet, rule out any temptation by preparing delicious treats and having them on standby.

Be realistic with yourself and listen to your cravings. If you are tempted by chocolate in the evenings, a standby banana won't cut it. Rapid Loss offers a bunch of tasty snack recipes that will satisfy you without ruining your diet, such aslow-calorie peanut butter protein balls, which are made withRapid Loss Chocolate Shake rather than real chocolate, making them 100 per cent guilt free.

Active-living passions draw family doctor… – Bothell-Kenmore Reporter

Posted: October 13, 2020 at 6:56 pm

When Dr. Jimmie Stewart finished his residency in Kansas and was ready to begin his medical practice, the Pacific Northwest quickly captured his attention. Yes, there were the professional opportunities, but what really captivated the primary care physician was the ability to stay active outside year-round, pursuing fitness and recreational pastimes like hiking and kayaking.

Today, Dr. Stewart brings those passions to his family medicine practice at the Pacific Medical Centers (PacMed) Canyon Park clinic in Bothell, where, in addition to caring for patients from newborns to seniors, he brings a special interest in sports medicine, fitness, weight loss and preventive care.

I really enjoy taking care of everyone in the family and building those long-term relationships with children, their parents and grandparents, Dr. Stewart says. It feels good to help people, and to help them find success in their goals, whether thats improving their fitness, losing weight or getting back to an activity they love.

Families that play together can stay healthy together

By building those relationships, Dr. Stewart can more easily support patients in their wellness goals, whether its disease prevention through nutrition and fitness or charting a course back to the playing field following an injury.

Dr. Stewarts accessible approach underscores how building trust with patients is key to their success, as is a practical, mindful care plan. I think its important to have a realistic approach and come up with a plan that can be maintained, such as building in rewards for success, he explains.

Similarly, improving fitness while reducing the chance of injury also benefits from a plan. After all, adds Dr. Stewart, we know that keeping moving definitely helps keep you healthy.

When the unexpected does happen, the right care is key.

I enjoy working with the patient to figure out exactly what happened and how to get them back to their activity, Dr. Stewart says. We can make the assessment, create a protocol for getting back to play safely and help address the symptoms theyre experiencing.

Numerous resources at hand

While Dr. Stewart enjoys providing hands-on care as much as possible, with a full suite of specialists, surgeons and physical therapists on the PacMed team, referrals are simple when more specialized care is required.

We have all the resources here to assess the injury and, if necessary, connect you with the experts you need to get you well, he says.

Make an appointment with Dr. Stewart online or by calling 425-412-7200. Find Dr. Stewart at PacMed Canyon Park, 1909 214th St. SE, in Bothell.

Temperature and air flow critical to broiler performance year-round – The Poultry Site

Posted: October 13, 2020 at 6:56 pm

The concept of hot or cold is determined by a birds perception of its environment. In reality, hot and cold relate to the rate at which heat is being lost by a bird. A bird is always losing heat to the environment around it because its deep body temperature, approximately 106o F (41o C), is greater than house air temperature. The greater the amount of heat a bird is losing, the colder it will feel.

If a bird is not losing enough of the heat it is producing, its body temperature will start to rise and it will feel hot. If a bird is losing just enough heat to maintain its body temperature with little to no effort on its part, it would be considered comfortable.

Obviously, temperature has a major impact on the rate of bird heat loss. The lower the air temperature, the greater the amount of heat a bird will lose to the air surrounding it and the cooler it will feel.

Relative humidity is another major factor that affects heat loss. As much as 60% of a birds heat loss is through the evaporation of moisture from its respiratory system. Every time a bird breathes it is removing heat from its body. This is true whether it is a day-old chick or a 50-week-old broiler breeder. A birds respiratory system is essentially a miniature evaporative cooling pad. The lower the relative humidity, the greater the amount of moisture that will evaporate from a birds respiratory system. The greater the amount of heat removed from a bird, the cooler it will feel.

So, even though you may be maintaining the recommended house temperature, you could be chilling a day-old chick if the humidity is too low (20%). Conversely, a house temperature of 65o F (18 o C) could be perceived by a market-age broiler as hot if the humidity is too high (80%).

These might be the most obvious issues that affect a birds perception of hot and cold, but there are other equally important factors.

One example is growth rate: The faster a bird is growing, the greater the amount of feed it consumes and the greater the amount of heat it will produce.

So, whether 75o F (24o C), for instance, is perceived as hot to a 4-pound bird will depend to some extent on its growth rate. A fast-growing bird, being fed a high-energy diet, may not be losing enough of the heat it is producing, possibly causing heat stress.

Conversely, a bird that is not consuming as much feed, such as a broiler breeder pullet, may feel cool at 75o F because it may be losing too much of the relatively small amount of heat it produces. This holds true for young chicks too. If a chick is consuming a lot of feed and growing quickly, the house temperature will generally need to be decreased more rapidly over the first week than for a bird that is growing slowly. This is because the fast-growing chick produces more heat and therefore requires a lower house temperature to help it feel comfortable.

Breed is another factor that can affect a birds perception of hot and cold. For instance, some breeds become fully feathered at a younger age than others. The lower the level of feather coverage at a given age, the greater the heat loss will be from a bird and the colder it will tend to feel.

Density can have a major influence on a birds perception of its thermal environment, especially toward the end of the flock. Studies have shown that the higher the density, the lower the rate of heat loss and the warmer it will feel, regardless of house temperature (see sidebar).

For instance, a temperature of 70o F (21o C) would be more appropriate for a 5-week-old bird that is soon to be processed than for one that is being grown to a weight of 8 or 9 pounds to be processed at 8 weeks of age. One is at maximum density in terms of pounds per square foot at 5 weeks of age, while the other is at a considerably lower density (30% to 50%) at the same age.

The amount of air moving over a bird also contributes to the rate at which heat is lost. In general, higher wind speeds result in greater heat removal. However, to complicate matters, the amount of heat removed depends on the difference between the birds body temperature and the air temperature. The closer the air temperature gets to the birds body temperature, the less effective the movement is at removing heat from a bird.

Studies have found that even at wind speeds of about 600 feet per minute, the amount of heat removed from a bird can be halved as house air temperature increases from 75o F (24o C) to 88o F (31o C). If the air temperature increases to near the birds body temperature of 106o F (41o C), no heat will be removed from the bird as air moves over its body, regardless of the speed of the air.

Bird age will also affect how easily heat is lost. A young birds feather coverage has a relatively low R-value, and therefore it will lose heat quicker than an older, fully feathered bird. Furthermore, a young bird has a higher surface area per pound of weight than an older bird, which further increases the rate at which heat is lost from a chick compared to a market-age bird.

A young chicks rapid heat loss is the primary reason we typically start off a flock at around 90o F (32 o C) and decrease it to 65 F (18 o C) to 70o F (21o C) as the birds reach processing age. We want to help reduce the rate of heat loss of a poorly insulated chick and increase it as it gets older and has difficulty losing the heat it needs to feel comfortable.

Unfortunately, these arent the only factors that affect rates of heat loss: Radiant heat gain or loss from poorly insulated ceilings or curtains, level of bird activity, night versus day, bedding type and depth can all have an impact, too. To make matters more complicated, all of these factors interact. As a result, determining how a bird feels with any given combination of environmental or management factors would literally require thousands of studies.

So, what is the most accurate way to determine if a bird is comfortable?

First, start off with your primary breeders recommended house-temperature guidelines. Then take time to study the general relationship between the previously mentioned factors and heat loss.

Realize that as humidity increases, a bird feels hotter. Higher growth rates will generally require lower house temperatures.

As air speed increases, a bird will feel cooler. Feather coverage as well as density will affect heat loss. Make small adjustments to the recommended house temperature based on your specific situation.

Then, most importantly, take the time to sit in your houses and observe your birds. Dont be in too much of a hurry to pick up mortalities or adjust feed and drinker lines; simply enter the house, take a 5-gallon bucket, turn it upside down and spend 10 minutes or so watching your birds.

Are they spread out? Are they bunching? How many are lightly panting? Are they too noisy? How many are eating? How many are sleeping?

It may be a cliche, but if you take the time to listen to your birds, they will tell you all you need to know.

The study illustrates the simple fact that the higher the density, the lower the rate of heat loss from a bird and the warmer it will tend to feel, regardless of house temperature. As a result, the optimal house temperature at a given age will depend to some extent on the age at which birds are being processed.

Earlier pubertal timing predicts higher psychosexuality in adulthood – PsyPost

Posted: October 13, 2020 at 6:54 pm

New research from Penn States Behavioral Endocrinology and Evolution Lab provides evidence that pubertal timing is associated with psychosexuality in men and women. The findings have been published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology.

We are interested in how sex hormones influence the development of the brain and behavior, said study authors Talia Shirazi and David Puts, a PhD candidate and associate professor, respectively.

There is growing evidence that sex hormones have permanent effects on the brain and on psychological traits during least two windows in development the first is during gestation and right after birth, and the second is during puberty. Studies in laboratory animals show that testosterone exposure earlier in the pubertal window has a larger effect on male sexual behaviors than hormone exposure later on, but little is known about whether this is also the case in humans.

For their study, the researchers examined 72 men and 32 women with isolated GnRH deficiency (IGD), a rare disorder in which individuals have absent or nonfunctional gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons in the hypothalamus. GnRH is a neurohormone that controls sexual maturation, the appearance of puberty, and fertility in adults.

Because individuals with IGD are unable to produce endogenous gonadal hormones, they require hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to initiate puberty and must remain on HRT across adulthood. By utilizing data on the timing of initiation of HRT, we are thus able to pinpoint the precise age at which pubertal hormone exposure began for this clinical group.

The study also included 231 healthy men and 648 healthy women, who provided estimates of when they first started experiencing pubertal changes.

The participants completed a measure of sociosexuality, which assessed attitudes, behaviors, and desires regarding casual sex, along with a general measure of sexual desire. Many participants also provided saliva samples, which were used to statistically control for variations in hormone concentrations.

The researchers found that earlier onset of puberty was associated with heightened psychosexuality.

Earlier puberty was associated with greater sexual interest in both sexes, but it was more strongly associated with interest in uncommitted sex in men and with general sexual desire in women. This pattern may reflect decreasing sensitivity of the brain to sex hormones across the pubertal time window, Shirazi and Puts told PsyPost.

Beyond having implications for our basic understanding of behavioral neuroendocrinology, our results have clinical implications. There are several cases in which doctors will medically block or induce puberty. In these cases, the top concern is usually the physical health of the adolescent. What our research suggests is that altering pubertal timing also has long-term psychological effects, the researchers explained.

The extent to which these psychological effects should be considered when creating treatment plans is up to clinicians, patients, and their families, but it is our hope that our research provides information for people to make better-informed decisions.

But, as with all research, the new findings come with some caveats.

Correlation doesnt mean causation, so we cannot be certain that earlier pubertal timing causes higher psychosexuality in adulthood. To better understand relationships between pubertal timing and adult phenotypes, we need longitudinal studies that recruit children before puberty and follow them throughout puberty and into adulthood, Shirazi and Puts explained.

If studies continue finding links between pubertal timing and adult phenotypes, an important next step will be to figure out the neurobiology underpinning these relationships. How do the neural regions and circuits responsive to hormones at puberty differ between individuals based on the timing of puberty, and can those neural differences predict differences in psychological traits? Theres a lot of exciting work to be done.

The study, Pubertal timing predicts adult psychosexuality: Evidence from typically developing adults and adults with isolated GnRH deficiency, was authored by Talia N. Shirazi, Heather Self, Khytam Dawood, Rodrigo Crdenas, Lisa L.M. Welling, Kevin A. Rosenfield, Triana L. Ortiz, Justin M. Carr, Ravikumar Balasubramanian, Angela Delaney, William Crowley, S. Marc Breedlove, and David A. Puts.

Care New England opens new weight loss center in SK – The Independent

Posted: October 10, 2020 at 10:56 am

SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. The journey of weight loss is very different for every person.

We know that obesity can be a difficult disease to live with and a frustrating problem to treat, said surgeon Jeannine Giovanni, director of bariatric surgery at Care New England.

Care New Englands Center for Surgical Weight Loss wanted to provide patients in South County with easier access to consultation and treatment. After more than a year that goal became reality Tuesday, when the center opened a new location at 49 South County Commons Way to patients.

Were here and were ready to help anyone struggling with weight issues take back their power to live their best life, Giovanni said. Obesity affects all kinds of people. Its not uncommon that we see entire families that are affected.

The center complements its flagship location in Warwick, offering complete and comprehensive bariatrics services to patients. Surgeries are performed at Kent Hospital in Warwick.

Were bringing everything here thats up there, minus the actual operating room, Giovanni said.

Located within a second-floor suite of medical offices at South County Commons, the center offers private exam rooms for the doctors to consult with their patients.

Patients also have to do a series of follow-ups, up to five years. We have the ability to do all that follow-up in a patients own neighborhood, Giovanni said. The center also has an on-site lab and works with the monthly nutrition group at South County Hospital.

Theres no other program in southern Rhode Island, said surgeon Lindsay Tse, who works with Giovanni in the South County location, which is open on the first Tuesday of every month, for now.

We talk with patients about the surgery about what to expect after the surgery, the risks and benefits, and what to do pre-operatively and what you can expect post operatively as well, Tse said. Were hoping to expand into the southern part of the state and have more patients that maybe wouldnt have access to bariatric surgery come and see us.

The surgery itself has evolved over many years, and become safer than when initially developed, they said. Five small incisions are typically all it takes, Tse said. Patients are usually up and moving around right after the surgery, with most going home within 24 hours, she said.

Surgery, though, is just one small piece of the whole procedure and treatment of the disease.

What we find more challenging for patients is just the amount of follow-up, Giovanni said. What weve tried to do is streamline it and keep it all in one location, to try to make it one-stop shopping.

The doctors hope that once COVID-19 wanes, theyll be able to offer live, in-person seminars to the patients.

I think its a nice opportunity for the patients to get comfortable with us, to ask questions and to really understand what its about, Giovanni said.

Obesity is a complex disease involving an excessive amount of body fat, the doctors point out. Its a medical problem that increases ones risk of other diseases and health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the state of Rhode Island alone, between 25 to 30 percent of people fall into the category of being obese.

Giovanni said anyone with a body mass index of greater than 40, or greater than 35 with other weight-related factors such as diabetes, sleep apnea or high blood pressure should consider weight loss surgery.

And additionally anybody thats struggled for a while with weight. Theyve tried diet, theyve tried exercise and they feel its just not helping enough.

One such bariatric patient, featured in a video of Center for Surgical Weight Loss success stories, is Richard Corso. He had experienced teasing and mocking about his weight from the time he was a child on the school bus.

At his heaviest, Corso weighed 423 lbs., and simple things such as walking were difficult.

I hated flying. I had always wanted to do zip lining, he said.

Research and word of mouth led Corso to the Center for Surgical Weight Loss and to Giovanni.

She was so easy to talk to, and thats really important, he said. One of the things that stuck out to me that she said was that willpower doesnt work.

Prior to the surgery, Corso and other patients had to attend a free webinar before setting up an in-person consultation, and undergo routine testing before surgery and commit to a healthier lifestyle.

After surgery, Corso weighed 230 lbs., and his outlook had changed.

Things are so much better now, said Corso. Ive done zip lining, I dont fear flying anymore. I dont even fear going back to the doctor.

Focusing on This Can Help Increase Weight Loss, Study Finds – Yahoo Lifestyle

Posted: October 10, 2020 at 10:56 am

Weight loss, when done in a healthy way, takes time. Quick fixes can trim the waistline in the short-term, but finding lifestyle changes produce long-lasting results. This is true even if it takes a little while to master them, and a new study proves it. Researchers at Yale and Cornell University say celebrating the smaller victories along the long journey is the key to helping increase weight loss. They compare it to paying off debt. You put a little money in over time until you don't owe any more!

In the study, 36,245 people use an app called Lose It! that tracks goals users set for daily activity and calories. The authors of the study found people were more inclined to follow daily calorie and exercise budgets when using the app. This suggests the smaller goals the app notes help to keep people on track. (Making your own meals puts you in charge of the calorie count, and here are the 21 Best Healthy Cooking Hacks of All Time.)

"Even though there was no kind of punishment attached to going over the budget, people worked to follow it," Kosuke Uetake, an associate professor of marketing at Yale and co-author of the study, says about the daily goals. "We saw this positive spillover where short-term success led to longer-term success."

Uetake and Nathan Yang, the other co-author, describe static goals, or ones that don't change, as less effective compared to adaptive goals that shift based on progress. Their data confirms it, too. Adaptive goals that celebrate the small victories show an increase in weight loss more than uniform goals. Like debt, the daily, weekly, and/or monthly wins soon add up to reaching bigger goals.

Hopping on fad diets that promise to help you lose weight in two weeks isn't the best route to go. For more expert-approved ways to see a smaller number on the scale, here are the 25 best weight loss tips from doctors. And don't forget to go over your goals with your own doctor!

Weight Loss: 5 Eating Habits That Do More Harm Than Good – NDTV Doctor

Posted: October 10, 2020 at 10:56 am

Weight loss: From unhealthy snacking to not drinking enough water, here are the eating habits you need quit as soon as possible!

Weight loss: Avoid keeping long gaps between meals

Weight loss: As we have mentioned several times before, you need to focus on how you eat, over and above focusing on what you eat. Your eating pattern, which includes the time of your meals, the gap between meals, your snacking pattern, portion size and behaviour towards food are all important determining factors for your health, weight and fitness goals. In this article, we are going to talk about eating patterns that you need to quit, for good. Keep reading to know about them.

You may be not be aware that some of these eating patterns may actually by ruining your diet or weight loss regime. Here are some of them:

1. Overeating: Just because you are eating healthy food like oats, salad or fruits, doesn't mean that you overeat them. Portion control is the key, especially if you are trying to lose weight. According to nutritionist Ishi Khosla, you must eat till you are 80% full.

2. Keeping long gaps between meals: Believe it or not, keeping long gaps between meals, to eat less or reduce your calorie intake, can do more harm than good. It can cause acidity, bloating and may increase risk of overeating. Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar is of the opinion that you must consume small and frequent meals. Eating in this way will leave no room for cravings and untimely hunger.

3. Drinking water only when thirsty: Now this is something many people end up doing. Firstly, develop the habit of drinking water. Secondly, drink enough water that your pee is pale or nearly colourless. Staying hydrated by drinking sufficient water is important for your weight, digestion, blood pressure and even energy levels. Make it a point to drink 2-3 litres of water every day.

4. Fasting and not eating right: This is for people who are following intermittent fasting. During the eating phase of this diet, you need to not overeat and not consume junk, processed or packaged food either. Also, you need to ensure that you consume a nourishing and filling diet during the eating phase. Otherwise, it can lead to nutritional deficiencies and an increase in cravings.

5. Unhealthy snacking: What you eat for snacks is an important determinant. Snack right by eating healthy foods, at the right time, and in the right portion size. Nuts and seeds, roasted black chana, ghee-roasted makhanas, roasted chickpeas, etc make for healthy, protein-rich snacks. Eat a handful of them an hour before your main meals. Make sure that you don't end up missing your main meals because of snacks.
