Hunger is Not Always Want to Eat

When the stomach is like singing, we tend to respond as hunger that must be filled with food to muffle the sound. In fact, the "hunger" does not necessarily mean we need food.

According to experts at the American Academy of Family Physicians, hunger signals are often the result of physical and emotional needs are felt. In general there are several conditions that could lead to hunger signals:

- Dehydration
The characteristics of dehydrated body is limp and sleepy. This is almost the same characteristics when we are feeling very hungry. And the body will react the same, that is asking us to include food as a source of new energy. Therefore, for those who are dieting, the body's fluid needs should be inadequate.

- "Craving" or wanted to eat something
Feeling of want to eat certain foods, like chocolate, ice cream, or salty foods, can cause persistent stomach "growling". Craving can be caused by many things, ranging from micro-body lacks substance because of the encouragement given to emotion.

- Moderate stress
When emotions are not stable, ranging from feeling angry, lonely, or sad, the stomach tends to feel empty because basically there is a need to find certain foods that can provide a calming effect.

Easy and Simple Ways to Increasing Metabolism

Metabolism is the process where food and calories are converted into energy to perform all body activities. Some related metabolic disorders frequently associated with decreased health status.

Actually, there are some easy and simple way to overcome the problem of metabolic disorders. Here are some simple ways to boost your metabolism through nutrient intake and nutritional:

1. Diet foods rich in iron
Iron intake is especially important to carry oxygen from the muscles to burn body fat. Shellfish, lean meats, nuts, cereals, and spinach are the best source of iron. But keep in mind, taking iron supplements is not the best idea, especially if it gets excessive. Too much iron intake has been associated with greater risk of heart disease in men.

2. Vitamin D
The researchers estimate there are still many people who have not quite meet the intake of vitamin D through their diet or eating patterns. In fact, vitamin D is essential for preserving muscle tissue metabolism. You can provide for the amount of vitamin D through food, especially salmon, tuna, fortified milk, cereals, and eggs.

3. Drinking Milk
There is some evidence that calcium deficiency can slow the body's metabolic processes. Research shows that eating calcium in the form of fat-free dairy foods and low fat yogurt can reduce fat absorption from other foods.

4. Watermelon
A recent study in the Journal of Nutrition claims, the amino acid arginine is abundant in watermelon fruit, can promote weight loss. The findings are based on the results of experiments on mice that are obese and arginine administered for more than 3 months. The result, researchers found that a decrease in body fat increased by 64 percent.

All the chemical reactions that occur in the body, including metabolism depends on water. If you're dehydrated, calorie burning process may be 2 percent less, according to researchers from the University of Utah - that monitor the metabolic rate of 10 adults related to the consumption of water per day.

Diet For Your Wide Hip, What is The Relation Between Wide Hip and Over Weight

Wednesday 7 December 2011 Labels: ,

Someone Asking
Doc, I have wide hips. During this time I am trying to maintain weight, but still just look fat, does it have a relation? Which is better, eat often or eating much at once? Because I work in a place that requires me to many in the area. Thank you...

Doctor Answered:
The size of the wide hip circumference is really related to overweight or obese. Why? This is related to the type of obesity, namely:

1. Abdominal obesity (android obesity, or upper body obesity) that have characteristics have more fat cells larger and more resistant to insulin. Usually associated with metabolic disorders such as diabetes, elevated levels of blood fats or cholesterol, high blood pressure and coronary heart disease.

2. Peripheral obesity (overweight ginoid, or lower body obesity) have characteristics more fat cells are smaller and more sensitive to insulin. Well, the size of your hips are wide, including in peripheral obesity.

Then how to assess obesity to determine whether a person include being overweight or not? There are several ways that can be used:
* General physical appearance.
* Calculation of ideal body weight using Broca's height according to the formula (ideal weight = 0.9 (height-100)).
* Determine your body mass index (BMI, weight: height (m 2)).
* The ratio of the circumference of your hips / waist circumference (men and women less than 0.9 less 0.8).
* The size of waist circumference (men less than 90 cm and women less than 80 cm).
* Determination of thickness of fat in the abdomen, usually performed by examination or a particular tool.

After knowing the assessment, what to do?
a. Perform a diet with a complete and balanced nutrition, which means that the food consumed still contain carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water balance of the body needs. The number of daily caloric needs for Princess must first be calculated based on ideal body weight. Usually given as much weight x 25 kcal.

Often because we are already overweight tend to avoid eating carbohydrates or fats. This is a less precise sense because carbs are still required by the body at least 100 grams a day for the activity of brain cells and red blood cells. Likewise, the fat, which is still required as much as 25 percent of the total daily requirement.

b. Feeding schedule should be divided in 5-6 times a day, or a little but often. The goal is that hunger can still be handled so it does not happen "rapel" on foods that will result in a person eat more than they should. As a result the number of calories consumed to excess.

Therefore, for the Princess that many working in the field, sharing best to eat as much as 5-6 times a day, and not eating well. Princess does not have to worry about the hassles that can be tricked by bringing fruit such as apples, oranges, pears, bark, wine, etc. as a snack.

c. Do exercise regularly and measured every day for at least 30 minutes. Since the daughter did not provide data on body weight, height, and type of routine activity that is done, then I expect the possibility of Princess needs about 1200 kcal, and I give one example for 1200 kcal diet with 5-6 meals a division as follows:

* Breakfast (07.00): 2 pieces of wheat bread, peanut butter 1 tablespoon.
* Snack morning (10:00 hours): apple 1 piece, about 200 grams.
* Lunch (13:00): rice 100 grams, 50 grams of yellow fish seasoning, stir-fried tempeh mushroom 50 grams, 100 grams carrots spinach cah.
* Snack afternoon (16:00 hours): banana pancakes 1 piece of content.
* Dinner (19.00): 75 grams of rice, chicken satay spice 50 grams of soy sauce, tofu spice bali 30 grams, 100 grams of vegetables lodeh.
* Snack night (21:00): fruit jelly 50 grams, but can be omitted if you already feel full.

Running a slimming program does not mean that you should reduce your intake of food or even not eat. If you want to slim the healthy way and not painful, try the following strategies:

1. More chewing
Studies show that the longer time you spend to chew, the less amount of calories you consume. Chewing longer prevent a person to overeat by giving the brain more time to receive signals from a full stomach. It is not only good for digestion, but also helps in limiting your portion sizes. Try to chew your food 35 to 50 times in the mouth.

2. Do not miss breakfast
Dense as any activity or work, you should squeeze in time for breakfast. Remember, your body is not the brain. The body needs to refuel several times each day. If you skip breakfast, you will feel so hungry at lunch time so you tend to overeat or may choose unhealthy foods. Skipping breakfast can slow down the metabolic processes in the body.

3. Concentrating on the food
How many times have you reprimanded by parents not to speak, read or watch TV while eating? Reprimand is not without reason. Because, when you eat while talking or watching television, your brain will not focus on the amount of food you consume and you are more likely to consume more food.

4. Do not cook too long
Cooking food for too long will kill or reduce the amount of nutrients. And when you're not getting enough nutrients, you will not feel satisfied and start looking for an unhealthy snack. To overcome this, try eating more raw foods such as salads, and avoid using the microwave.

5. Consumption of fruit before eating
Encouraged to eat fruit at least 30 minutes before a heavy meal. In this way, the fruit will be digested quickly. Eat fruit when stomach is empty will help detoxify and supply more energy to lose weight.

6. Little to eat, but often
Ideally, you should eat 5-6 times per day. Eat more often better to keep your metabolism to keep working at higher levels throughout the day. But, do not use this rule as an excuse to overeat.

7. Stop eating after 8 pm
Stop eating after 8 pm through is the best way to prevent the habit of snacking in the middle of the night. If you find it difficult to apply it, try drinking a cup of tea or brush your teeth after dinner, and switch your mind off of eating.

Wrong Diet Method: Seven Common Mistakes About Diet & Nutrition

Friday 18 November 2011 Labels: ,

Here are the seven common mistakes about diet & nutrition diet that would make you fail.
Did not consume any fatExperts agree that low-fat diet is a great way to scrape off excess weight. But, a research recently showed that eating a little healthy fat (especially monounsaturated fats), which combined with a diet high in fiber and protein, can help you lose weight. In this way, as it says Penny Kris Etherton, Ph.D., RD, nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, will make you feel full longer. You were much more determined to keep running weight loss program.


Too many 'ban'Many women stop their favorite foods. The reason is because there are several types of diets say all food is dangerous and can make their bodies 'bubble'. "You can not see the food partially," said Dayle Hayes, MS, RD, nutrition consultant from Billngs, Mont. "When you get rid of a bunch of foods, then you throw a variety of important nutrients." "Creating a 'list of foods that should not be eaten' style diet is arguably the oldest in the world," adds Robyn Flipse, RD, nutrition consultant. Yet what is important is the way to shop or prepare food for himself and doing regular physical activity. For instance, if you do not drink milk, diary products or eating peanuts, means you lose some of the best sources of protein. If you avoid eating fat-rich fish like salmon, sardines or tuna, then you get rid of sources of omega-3 fatty acids are very important.

You hit 'amnesia'Research shows that many people forget what it has eaten all day long or pretended not to know what is not so visible on his food (such as sauce, sugar or fats are hidden in food). In addition, it is easy to 'forget' the calories that you can pass snacking. But remember, the body never lies. The results will you look at the size of the buttocks, abdomen and thighs are enlarged.
"I once took my friend all day and was so stunned by how easily he forgets what he has to eat," said Ann Litt, MS, RD, LD, a nutritionist and author of The College Student's Guide to Eating Well on Campus (Tulip hill Press, 2000). "Too many small bites and sips if collected can be equal to one full meal if you're not careful," he added.

Diets that do not fit to your lifestyleHaving the desire to eat healthier and lose weight is certainly very good. But, if not handled with a proactive attitude and personal, then the diet with the best goals can lead to failure.
To make it real, try to look at your lifestyle and determine how what would be successful and what is not for you. When you work around where there are no healthy food available, it would not hurt you bring lunch from home. Or try subscribing rantangan diet to get healthy and low calorie foods. Or always order a half portion of food when you eat out.

Being a vegetarian? To be slim?You think not eating meat at all will make you lose body fat? Think again. Because the truth is much better reasons to become vegetarian, and weight loss is not one of them. Why? Many women who get rid of meat do not lose weight because they do not eat meat in large quantities.
In fact, many of the 'vegetarian instant' actually gain weight because they replace the meat with a large serving of noodles, rice, or pie. Though all of these foods contain calories which is almost as large as the meat, do not even contain a protein that makes you more powerful. To become a vegetarian need more than just replacing meat with tofu or always eat vegetables every day. Being a vegetarian is a process that creates patterns which include among others a new shopping and cooking habits.
To change slowly, try to buy the book cooking vegetarian menu. That sounds good if you consult with a dietitian to create meal plans that satisfy your taste buds and simultaneously meet your nutritional needs.

Your weight increased 2-digitIt is easy to gain weight as much as 2 pounds, but also quite easy to cut back. You can scrape the excess weight of 2 kg within a month without making any adjustments that are essential to the calories you consume each day. To remove 1 / 2 pounds, you simply reduce 3500 calories can cut down the amount of calories you consume or by exercising harder to burn more calories. By reducing about 500 calories each day, you can discard 1 / 2 pounds a week, or about 2 pounds in a month.
But, if you increase the weight of 5 kg or more, then you need to make a greater commitment. That will at least take two months, or you have to reduce more calories from food each day and increase your exercise schedule. And obviously this is not a realistic scenario.

To stop the weight gain at first, make a diet diary to track calorie intake and your emotions are associated with food. Then weigh yourself at the same time each week.

6 Amazing Thing of Sweat

Friday 21 October 2011 Labels:

Many people especially women, feel lazy to move physical or sunbathe for fear of sweating. Sweat makes the body feel sticky, so limp hair, makeup will melting. But, you know that behind the sweat there are many amazing things?

Sweat production is affected fitness levels. After finishing move, the body will be heat and sweaty. This sweat is serves to cool your body. According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, the athletes sweat more than others because the athlete's body has to adjust itself to maintain its body temperature to keep them cool by increasing the amount of sweat. The same study also published in the Journal of Experimental Physiology, which says that when the body is feeling unwell and her temperature heat, the sweat gland activity will work harder to produce more sweat than healthy people.

Men sweat more than women. According to David Pariser, MD, secretary of the International Hyperhidrosis Society, men sweaty four times or more a day. Both men and women have the same number of sweat glands, but the larger male sweat glands so that sweat produced was also more. Larger body also affects the more surface area to be cooled, and in addition it also causes male hormonal variations sweat more. A study published in the Journal of Experimental Physiology found that in healthy men and women also produce a different amount of sweat.

Two types of sweat. You may assume that all the sweat is the same. But Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, director of the Center for Excessive Sweating center reveals, there are two types of sweat, the sweat produced by glands ekrin, and produced by apocrine glands.

Ekrin gland responsible for producing "sweat" water which is composed largely of water and salt. These glands are found throughout the body, but usually concentrated on the hands, feet and face. This serves to cool the sweat of your body, either because of sports or hot temperatures.

While the apocrine glands produce less sweat, and located where there are hair follicles (one in the armpit), and usually sweat is odorless because it is often exposed to bacteria that cause odor. Consequently, we smell the sweat that stung.

Sweat as a stress signal. Do not think that facial expressions, body language, and voice is the only way that can express your feelings. The sweat that comes out of the body is also one sign that you're stressed. If you are sweating due to stress, then you do not realize that you can submit a tension for those around you.

"When you're stressed, would sweat out through both of these glands. However, apocrine glands which causes the smell of sweat will work first," said Dr. Pariser. In other words, when you feel stressed, you will emit the scent of sweat that can be smelled by others.

A study published in the journal PLoS One (scientific journal published by the Public Library of Science) indicate a change in brain activity when participants smelled the sweat of others in a given situation. This will cause them to raise awareness of a condition they would have done.

Excessive sweating can be a disease. One thing that is excessive is not good. According to Dr Karamanoukian, about 1-3 percent of people around the world have hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating because sweat glands are overactive. Although the exact cause of hyperhidrosis is unknown, the symptoms of excessive sweating began since their teens.

"People will be sweating for no apparent reason, and it makes no difference if they are in the room is cool or hot, stressed or relaxed. The areas most affected by hyperhidrosis are the armpits, hands, feet and face," he added. However, hyperhidrosis can be treated with a variety of ways, such as using deodorants, botox, liposuction, and so forth.

Sweat can be controlled. Deodorants typically contain aluminum or zirconian as their active ingredient. Both of these materials after contact with water will clog and stop the sweat glands to produce sweat glands.

"Antiperspirant most effective when applied to dry skin. If you are using this antiperspirant in the morning, you will definitely be sweaty or wet armpits," said Dr. Pariser.

If skin surface is wet, a chemical reaction that formed from aluminum in deodorants will occur on the skin surface and not in the pores. Instead, use this deodorant at night when sweat production is at its lowest. Even this deodorant will still work when you shower the next morning and could last for several days.

Easy Healthy Diet Tricks

Sunday 16 October 2011 Labels: , , ,


Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, and keeping yourself as healthy as possible– all of which can be achieved by learning some nutrition basics and using them in a way that works for you.
Healthy eating begins with learning how to “eat smart”—it’s not justwhat you eat, but how you eat. Your food choices can reduce your risk of illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, as well as defend against depression. Additionally, learning the habits of healthy eating can boost your energy, sharpen your memory and stabilize your mood. You can expand your range of healthy food choices and learn how to plan ahead to create and maintain a satisfying, healthy diet.

Healthy eating tip 1: Set yourself up for success
Simplify. Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety and freshness—then it should be easier to make healthy choices. Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that incorporate a few fresh ingredients. Gradually, your diet will become healthier and more delicious.

Start slow and make changes to your eating habits over time. Trying to make your diet healthy overnight isn’t realistic or smart.  Changing everything at once usually leads to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan. Make small steps, like adding a salad (full of different color vegetables) to your diet once a day or switching from butter to olive oil when cooking.  As your small changes become habit, you can continue to add more healthy choices to your diet.

Every change you make to improve your diet matters. You don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to completely eliminate foods you enjoy to have a healthy diet.  The long term goal is to feel good, have more energy and reduce the risk of cancer and disease. Don’t let your missteps derail you—every healthy food choice you make counts.
Try not to think of certain foods as “off-limits.” When you ban certain foods or food groups, it is natural to want those foods more, and then feel like a failure if you give in to temptation. If you are drawn towards sweet, salty, or unhealthy foods, start by reducing portion sizes and not eating them as often. Later you may find yourself craving them less or thinking of them as only occasional indulgences.

Think smaller portions. Serving sizes have ballooned recently, particularly in restaurants. When dining out, choose a starter instead of an entrée, split a dish with a friend, and don’t order supersized anything. At home, use smaller plates, think about serving sizes in realistic terms and start small.  Visual cues can help with portion sizes—your serving of meat, fish or chicken should be the size of a deck of cards. A teaspoon of oil or salad dressing is about the size of a matchbook and your slice of bread should be the size of a CD case.

Greens: Greens are packed with calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, zinc, vitamins A, C, E and K, and they help strengthen the blood and respiratory systems. Be adventurous with your greens and branch out beyond bright and dark green lettuce—kale, mustard greens, broccoli, Chinese cabbage are just a few of the options.

Sweet vegetables: Naturally sweet vegetables add healthy sweetness to your meals and reduce your cravings for other sweets. Some examples of sweet vegetables are corn, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes or yams, winter squash, and onions.

Fruit: A wide variety of fruit is also vital to a healthy diet. Fruit provides fiber, vitamins and antioxidants. Berries are cancer-fighting, apples provide fiber, oranges and mangos offer vitamin C, and so on.
