To burn more calories 24 hrs a day is simple. Yes, I said simple but I did not say it is easy. That is because you must have a firm commitment and mental discipline to do it. However, it will get easier and easier when you adapt to your new lifestyle. By then, you will be able to burn off extra calories fast forever. You will no longer be fat and unhealthy.

So how do you burn more calories 24 hr a day? Here are some simple steps to burn more calories:-

•Build muscles. Muscles are active cells and they are great calorie burners. The more muscles you pack on, the more body calories you will burn because the calories you have eaten will be burned for energy by your muscles. It is estimated that with each pound of muscle you put on, you will burn an extra 35-50 calories everyday even when you are sleeping. You can see how much calories you will burn in a year just by multiplying these figures 365 days of the year. All these calories are burnt just because you have gained a pound of muscle. What if you have more muscles?

•Do your cardio exercises in the morning before breakfast. Make sure that your cardio exercises raise your heart rate sufficiently to burn more fat. The exercises must be intensive and will leave you puffing, panting and sweating. This is to make sure that you will continue to burn calories hours after you stopped your cardio exercises.

Do your cardio exercise 5-6 days a week. On top of that, because your carbohydrate store is low in the morning, your body will burn more calories from your body fat to fuel your cardio exercises so that you will lose weight and body fat consistently.

•Eat 5-6 times a day with about 3 hrs intervals between meals. Make the meals small consisting protein and complex carbohydrate. Complex carbs are carbs that are more difficult to digest so that they do not spike insulin quickly to be converted into body fat. So instead of eating white rice, eat brown rice. Instead of having white bread, substitute it with brown bread instead. Have plenty of fresh leafy fibrous vegetables.

The frequency of meals will tell your body that there is plenty of food and so your body need not store body fat for emergencies. On top of that, your digestive system will be constantly working to digest the food and so that means burning of calories.

•Do weight training 3 times a week with rest days in between. Do your weight workout in the evenings so that you will continue to burn calories in the night. Workout with compound exercises such as bench presses, squats, lunges, dead lifts etc to activate more muscle fibers and so that these large muscles will carry on burning calories for many more hours into the night. That means you will be losing weight even when you are sleeping.

•Take slow release protein supplement before bed such as casein protein. This is to feed your body throughout the night and help your muscles to recover from the day’s activities and at the same because casein protein is slow to digest, your body will continue burning calories even when you are asleep.

So with a combination of all these activities, you will be burning body fat calories almost 24 hrs a day. Simple? Great. Let’s start to lose weight by burning more calories round the clock now.

Breaking the Jinx of Obesity through Weight Loss Drug

‘Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fattest of them all’

Though my mirror would not magically utter my name, my eyes would move unconsciously to the ugly bulge that has formed near the middle part of my body. I know I am the one. For years, I have continued to hate the mirror. I even attempted a lot many times to do away with even traces of the thing. But, my wife wouldn’t allow (women and mirrors go hand in hand).

Finally, I understood that closing my eyes to the fat won’t make me less fat. Weight loss drug was one such step which I undertook to do away with the fat. A weight loss drug works by ddecreasing appetite, increasing satisfaction, decreasing fat absorption and increasing the rate of metabolism.

Weight loss drugs refer to over-the-counter medication or prescription drugs. The drugs are manufactured from a large number of chemical as well as herbal formulations such as amphetamines, appetite suppressants, benzene derivatives, herbal extracts, hormones and many more.

The use of weight loss drugs, to the confusion of users, does not offer exactly similar benefits to all. While some may benefit from it, others may not. This is a mystery that scientists till date are trying to decipher. Scientists have come to the conclusion that obesity or overweight is a complex illness. There is not only the physical determinant to it such as larger intake of food or more fat absorption. There are behavioural and psychological aspects to the illness as well. Therefore, it is imperative that obesity be treated by taking the entire picture in mind.

A few drugs have had enough research; certain others are still remaining to be studied in depth. The key to the use of weight loss drug is to examine properly if the drug is effective. Only properly researched drugs must be used to avoid side effects.

Weight loss drugs demand perseverance on the part of user in his dietary and workout habits. It is all the more important that user reduces intakes of fatty foods and consume more of low carb diets. Daily exercise is also important. Muscles are an important method of burning calories. Besides, it gives a good shape to ones body.

Weight loss drugs are not entirely free from drawbacks. Many weight loss drugs have been investigated to result into side effects such as cardiac arrest. Besides, it is often quite tricky to pinpoint if a particular weight loss drug was behind the weight one lost. Any weight loss program is often accompanied by diet and exercise; thus making it difficult to decide the contribution of the drug. Despite these criticisms, the desire of humans to find a magic pill for weight loss continues.

Herbal Medicines- How they work
Wednesday April 23rd 2008, 11:45 pm
Filed under: Hall Of Medical Resources

The medical use of herbs is widespread. In a multi-ethnic group of patients attending an emergency department in New York 22% reported that they used herbal medicines; use was highest among Asians, 37%. It is important therefore for clinicians to document use of herbal medicines as part of the patient’s drug profile. Plants synthesize complex (organic) molecules for their structure and function, and therefore are a rich source of chemicals. Active chemicals purified from plants are accepted effective medications e.g. digoxin, and morphine. When parts of plants or crude extracts of plants are used for medicinal purposes they are called herbal medicines.

What is the active ingredient in herbal medicines?

Most herbal medicines contain hundreds of chemicals and there is often no agreement as to which is potentially active. An example is garlic, comprised of many sulfur compounds, several of which are candidates for possible therapeutic activity.

How can one be sure that herbal medicines contain what is on the label?

The only regulatory requirement in The US markets is that all products intended for medicinal use, including natural health products, are issued a Drug Identification Number. However, these numbers are not required for raw materials such as bulk herbs. Herbal medicines are not required to pass any regulatory analysis to be sold as a health food supplement. There are many examples of herbal medicines that have been adulterated with other (more toxic) herbs, potent drugs (e.g. phenylbutazone, synthetic corticosteroids and other prescription drugs), or heavy metals.

How are herbal medicines standardized?

The chemical constituents of plants vary depending on the species, variety and part of the plant, with conditions of growth (soil, water and temperature), and with the age of the plant. These complexities and variations of chemical content make standardization essential. In some cases standardization is attempted, but it is difficult and seldom accomplished.

Plants are rich sources of chemicals and potential sources of effective herbal medicines. However, more research, regulation, and standardization are required before herbal medicines can be recommended as effective and safe therapies.

4d and 3d scans - baby ultrasound company
Wednesday April 16th 2008, 6:38 pm
Filed under: Children + Parents, Hall Of Medical Resources, Health Improvement

The method know as three dimensional ultrasound scanning is used in early pregnancy, it provides 3d pictures of the unborn baby. Most times these ultrasound samples are collected and combined and animated to produce a 4d scan.

Three dimensional scanning works in the same manner to the normal scanning methods except that the ultrasound scanning pulses can be directed from multiple directions. The ultrasound pulses can be reflected back and captured and provide information to construct a 3-dimensional image in much the same way as 3d movies. 3 dimesional ultasound scanning was devised by olaf ramm and stephen smith.

It’s important to understand that sonologists worldwide have always conjured 3d pictures of the body in their minds while doing 2d scans. However, until recently it was not possible to do this kind of reconstruction on on data using ultasound scanning. With the introduction of baby scans for the first time allowed us a peek into the brain of a sonologist and so allowing us see the images on the ultrasound machine.

3d/4d imaging should utilize ultrasound energy following the same limits as conventional 2d ultrasound to create the 3d images. While there is no information of harm due to 3d ultrasound, its use in non-medical situations needs to be undertaken with an understanding of the risks that may exist.
