			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Running is one of the best aerobic activities you can do, and its mental and physical health benefits are well-documented. The CDC recommends a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate intensity, or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise a week to get the optimum benefit— going for a run, especially on a bright sunny day, will benefit your body in a variety of ways.</p>
<h3>Improved Cardiovascular Health</h3>
<p>Running is aerobic by nature, and any aerobic workout will benefit your heart. Running causes your heart to pump harder, which strengthens it over time, improving its stroke volume and function, as well as lowering your resting pulse rate.</p>
<h3>Weight Loss and Management</h3>
<p>Running on a regular basis can help you lose weight and keep it off. Thirty minutes on the track has the potential to burn 400 calories or more; the more you run, the more calories you will burn and the more weight you will lose.</p>
<h3>Strengthened Muscles</h3>
<p>When you work your muscles, their mass and strength increases. Stronger muscles help you do everyday activities, and prevent age-related loss of muscle mass. Bigger muscles also mean a higher BMR (basal metabolic rate), so you burn more calories, even when you&#8217;re resting.</p>
<h3>Strong Bones</h3>
<p>After the age of thirty, bone density tends to decline (in both men and women). Any exercise considered &#8221;weight-bearing&#8221;— such as running— will help in the reversal and prevention of bone loss, and it can possibly prevent osteoporosis, according to Harvard&#8217;s School of Public Health.</p>
<h3>Less Stress</h3>
<p>Going for a fun run on a regular basis helps keep stress, depression and other mood-related disorders at bay, and it can reduce anxiety by up to 20%.</p>
<h3>Prevention of Disease and Increased Longevity</h3>
<p>Regular running can reduce your risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and heart disease. It helps to raise your body&#8217;s level of &#8221;good&#8221; cholesterol, it lowers your blood pressure, and boosts your immune system. Running can also increase your overall life expectancy; according to the CDC, people who work out about 7 hours weekly have a 40% lower chance of dying early.</p>
<h3>More Vitamin D</h3>
<p>If you run outside in the sunshine, your body&#8217;s production of vitamin D will increase, meaning healthier bones and teeth, as well as increased immunity to illness.</p>
<p>Running will make you feel great by boosting your self-confidence and self-esteem. There are many reasons why people start running; to lose weight, to train for a 5k run, or just to be healthier. No matter why you start, you&#8217;ll soon realize the physical, mental and emotional benefits, and you won&#8217;t want to stop.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those who are unaware as to what eczema feels or looks like, it is an inflammatory condition of the skin, where it becomes itchy and dry. Ultimately it can become very painful, especially for those who relieve the itch through scratching. It is common for redness and swelling to show up on affected areas, and for blisters to form and then erupt, covering the area in a thin film of discharge. It tends to affect areas where there are folds in the skin, such as elbow creases and the backs of the knees, but is in no way limited to these places.</p>
<p>Eczema can affect you in early stages of life as well as in adulthood. If you encounter eczema as a child – particularly atopic eczema, which has no well understood cause &#8211; then it becomes less active during adolescence in up to 70% of cases and sometimes disappears completely. However, this does mean that eczema does carry on in many cases into adulthood.</p>
<p>Contact eczema is more commonly developed in adulthood due to, as the name suggests, things that we come into contact with. For adults prone to eczema outbreaks potential irritants are everywhere. Harsh soaps should be avoided and some sufferers also find that it&#8217;s worth staying away from moisturizers and skincare products that contain parabens- look out for &#8216;paraben&#8217; free on the label.</p>
<p>The main course of action for long term use in adults is a good emollient. Used as and when needed, either as part of bathing or just general use, the emollient retains moisture in the skin and acts as a preventative against contact eczema. A good tip is to apply the cream just after a bath or shower, when the skin is already moist.</p>
<p>Should someone experience an acute flare-up of their skin, then corticosteroids or steroid creams are sometimes used. These preparations come in different strengths and types dependent on the severity of the flare-up and also on the affected area. Hydro-cortisone creams quite common and you&#8217;ll need to visit a GP for the right prescription if the condition gets severe enough to warrant this kind of treatment.</p>
<p>These creams generally need to be applied to the affected areas several times a day in order but there is a catch. Sadly, overuse of hydrocortisone could actually be a hindrance to long-term treatment of eczema, as they tend to thin the skin making further flare-ups more likely. There are alternatives to such creams and ointments, one of which is antihistamines – usually these are prescribed in tablet form. However, these have not been proven to be as effective as steroid creams and are instead used to reduce irritation as opposed to aiding fast recovery from a flare-up.</p>
<p>As there is no cure for eczema in adults, but correct and careful treatment is a must and most sufferers are able to find a combination that cuts down irritation and inconvenience to a minimum. Just don&#8217;t scratch- it won&#8217;t stop the itching and can lead to infection.</p>
<p>Ben has suffered from eczema since he was eight years old, and has tried and tested many different treatments in his time. He writes for Escentual.com, a company carrying high quality skincare products from brands like <a href="http://www.escentual.com/3lab/">3Lab</a> and Vichy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before the back pain you lived a full life:  playing with the kids, bicycling, going on walks, working in the garden. Now the pain is to the point where you can not sit, stand, or lay down for more than 30 minutes before it is to much for you.  You just want your life back.</p>
<p>This is the story of thousands of people whose daily life has become stressed with back pain to the point where they simply cannot function anymore. There are many medical treatments for back pain that you may be considering or have been through already such as spinal shots, surgery, and more. Another is decompression and realignment of the spine which many have achieved through inversion therapy, hanging upside down. A recent double-blind study found that 70% of surgery candidates were able to avoid surgery through inversion, but many people simply cannot hang upside down because of weak knee and ankle joints. For people who cannot hang on an inversion table because of this, we have found a solution that is just as effective.</p>
<p>This was the story with a customer who purchased an Teeter EP-550 inversion table from us. I worked with him for about two months before he decided that it wouldn&#8217;t the table was not for him. He felt great when using the table for just a few minutes a day, but could not handle the pain caused in his ankles and to a lesser extent in his knees. He really wanted the inversion solution to work and we tried different angles of inversion and tried upgrading the standard foot clamps with gravity boots. Still, the comfort level was not enough, and we took the table back after two months (note that Better Health Innovations has a 90 day no-risk return policy unlike the typical 30 days others have). Since inversion was working for the back pain, I recommended that he try a <a title="Teeeter Hang Ups DEX II" href="http://www.betterhealthinnovations.com/Teeter_DEX_II_Decompression_and_Extension_Machine_p/stl-dexii.htm">Teeter DEX II</a> for 90 days.  Unlike an inversion table the DEX II does not stress the ankles or knees at all, and as of the date of the writing of this post he has been using the machine at least twice a day to relieve his back pain.</p>
<p><a href="http://d3dyx1qt6eo1lh.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/teeter-DEX_invert-demo.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-16096" title="teeter-DEX_invert-demo" src="http://d3dyx1qt6eo1lh.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/teeter-DEX_invert-demo-239x300.jpg" alt="How to use a teeter hang ups DEX" width="239" height="300" /></a>So, why am I calling this &#8220;the best kept secret&#8221;? Well, the DEX II is not marketed as hard as inversion tables. Looking at an inversion table in use, it&#8217;s pretty obvious that by hanging upside down your back will be pulled an decompressed downward. There are infomercials and all sorts of information available on the web about inversion tables. With the DEX, it is not as obvious, but like with an inversion table the weight of upper part of your body is pulling downward on your back. The obvious difference is that the weight is not pulling at your knees and ankles.</p>
<p>It is actually fairly difficult to demonstrate how in pictures how a DEX II is used. The image here is of the Teeter DEX (commercial model), but the function is identical to the DEX II.  We should have a video up at some point to demonstrate.<strong> It is actually easier to mount and use a Teeter DEX II than an inversion table.</strong>  You simply walk up to it and lean forward, grasp the lower handles and hang with a 90 degree bend in the waist.</p>
<p>The Teeter DEX II, while not as well know, is an effective method to address back pain. At Better Health Innovations, we are with you each step of the way in your inversion experience, whether with a DEX II or with an inversion table, with our exclusive one on one coaching program. At Better Health Innovations, you can also try it for 90 days and return it in used condition with no restocking fees. You have nothing to lose other than your back pain!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The pressures of work and family can make you forget about your health. A packed schedule does not allow sufficient time for you to address your health issues. On top of that, the amount of junk food people consume these days only makes things worse. Here are some effective ways to manage a healthy diet while leading a busy life.</p>
<p><strong>Have Breakfast</strong><br />
As they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and for good reason. You need some food to get the energy you require to complete your work. Also, breakfast helps manage the blood sugar level, reducing risk of diabetes. Have a nutritious breakfast, complete with foods that are rich in fiber and proteins. A good breakfast is the perfect way to kick off your day. Make it a habit and you will notice how much it benefits you.</p>
<p><strong>Drink Water</strong><br />
The importance of drinking water is known to everyone. Yet, majority of the people don’t drink a sufficient amount of water. Drinking water is essential to sustaining your energy levels as well as keeping your body and mind in perfect working order. Your digestive system needs a lot of water to function properly. Drink at least 8 glasses of water. This is the bare minimum. You can drink more but not less. However, avoid drinking water before a meal. Stay hydrated to stay healthy.</p>
<p><strong>Try Healthy Snacks</strong><br />
It is time you throw away that bag of crisps and the sugarcoated donuts. Try healthy snacks if you feel hungry between meals. Keep a fruit or vegetable with you to have when you feel hungry. The best thing about fruits and vegetables is that some of them have high water content. They not only suppress your hunger but quench your thirst as well.</p>
<p><strong>Eat on Time</strong><br />
You have to consume your last meal at least three hours before going to sleep. Eating on time is essential for keeping your stomach and digestive system in order. The metabolism works slower towards the end of the day. Any food you eat will not be digested properly. This is one of the major reasons of weight gain among people today.</p>
<p><strong>Avoid Processed &amp; Refined Foods</strong><br />
As frequently as possible, eat organically. Sometimes you might want to indulge yourself but make sure that the food you eat is low-fat and high on nutrition. Avoiding processed and refined foods might be difficult for you but it is a change that will boost your health significantly. For a generation brought up on frozen food and fast food, making this transition is going to be challenging.</p>
<p>These are some of the best ways for managing a healthy diet while leading a busy life. Don’t let the lack of free time be the cause of health problems in the future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even a short 20 years ago, we were consuming a <em>fraction</em> of the sugar that fills up our diets today.  Practically every food we touch now seems to be filled with sugar.  Breads, cereals, yogurt, juice, soda, and desserts are all just a tiny part of the problem.  While a little sugar every day is perfectly fine for our diets, too much can lead to a variety of health problems that you may not be aware of.</p>
<p><strong>Sugar brings on the blues.</strong><br />
Feeling a little low lately?  It may be time to evaluate your diet.  Our moods respond naturally to the foods we eat.  While foods such as protein can give us a boost of long lasting energy, sugar does the complete opposite.  A traditional sugar-high will only last a few mere minutes, followed by a major slump in your energy level.  Sleepiness and fatigue are both natural side effects of too much sugar.  If you think your caffeinated soda is giving you a lift each time you drink one, try switching to another form of caffeine such as Green Tea.  You may be shocked at how much better you feel on something that is truly healthy for your body and naturally leaves out all the sugar.</p>
<p><strong>Sugar can be as addicting as smoking. </strong><br />
If you find yourself craving the sweet stuff every day, odds are you could be addicted.  Just like many other drugs or stimulants, sugar can lead to the same addictive behavior.  Some countries have even gone as far as classifying its devastating effects with smoking or tobacco.  Although our taste buds may love and crave it, sugar doesn’t provide anything useful for our bodies to work with.  If you wouldn’t consider starting up a smoking habit, you may want to reevaluate your sugar intake as well.</p>
<p><strong>Disease and illness love when you eat sugar.</strong><br />
This is especially true of cancer.  Every time you indulge in a food or drink laced with sugar, cancer cells are throwing a party.  The truth is that sugar causes cancer to grow and multiply.  With our chances of cancer higher than ever these days, we can’t afford to throw more gas on the fire.  Another disease that could land in your lap as a result of sugar is diabetes.  While you might feel great now downing that donut, just give it awhile.  A diet high on sugar most likely will leave you diabetic down the road.  Heart disease, bad eyesight, osteoporosis, high cholesterol, infections are just the beginning of what your sugar habit can leave you with.</p>
<p><strong>A diet high in sugar can leave you much heavier than you’d like.</strong><br />
Realistically speaking, it’s a nightmare to lose weight when eating sugar is a regular habit.  If you are ready to shed some pounds…find another behavior to take the place of sugar in your life.  Fitness like swimming, running, drinking protein packed smoothies, using a natural sweetener like Stevia, all promote body wellness.  In the end, steer clear of sugar and indulge on something that could end up much healthier and sweeter for your body.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently attended a camp in West Virginia &#8211; wild, wonderful West Virginia! I must say that it was wild, but not so wonderful. Their water supply was transported and stored in tanks. Well, to make a long story short, the tank was empty. When they tried to fill it, their pumping system broke. So about a hundred people were without water to shower, water to cook with, and water for the bathroom necessities. There was a limited supply of water bottles for drinking.</p>
<p>This was not a camping adventure, it was a seminar with studies ranging from creative writing to administration. A varied group of people attended; teachers, preachers, investors, office personnel, etc. What began as an educational experience turned into an EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE! Of course, it rained and there was mud everywhere. Our group quickly took the appearance of back woodsmen that you normally associate with the hills of Appalachia.</p>
<p>I quickly learned how <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> prepared our group was in general. I can only surmise that well water was not an option because of the mountainous regions. There was a nice stream flowing at the base of the mountain, but it was not fit to drink.  It was then that I wished I had the <a href="http://www.betterhealthinnovations.com/SteriPEN_Portable_Journey_LCD_UV_Water_Purifier_p/hp-jy-rp.htm">SteriPEN Journey LCD Handheld UV Water Purifier.</a></p>
<p>Water is a necessity of life that most take for granted until they are faced with extreme conditions. Our source of safe drinking water can be compromised at any time. Weather conditions can affect our supply; contamination is another possibility that people may have to contend with. Public water supplies are affected with water main breaks from out of date systems.  Private wells can be affected by ground water contamination from the run-off from fertilizers, pesticides, and the various underground activities (gas well, mining, etc.).</p>
<p>People have increasingly decided to take matters into their own hands when it comes to caring for your loved ones. There are too many things out of our control. One way to reduce our dependency on others is to purchase a water purification system. The latest in technological advances are water ionizers like the <a title="Tyent Rettin MMP-9090 TURBO EXTREME Water Ionizer, TYT-MMP-9090-EXTREME" href="http://www.betterhealthinnovations.com/Tyent_Rettin_MMP_9090_TURBO_EXTREME_Water_Ionizer_p/tyt-mmp-9090-extreme.htm">Tyent Rettin MMP-9090 TURBO EXTREME Water Ionizer</a> .  This in house purification system helps to give peace of mind in the event of a natural or man-made disaster.</p>
<p>No matter what different scenarios that we face, water is precious and must never be taken for granted.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Early this week Teeter Hang Ups released their new EP-560 and EP-560 Sport inversion tables.  For those who follow this sort of thing, it&#8217;s pretty exciting news since it&#8217;s been a few years since Teeter has had a major redesign.  I first saw this table at the 2011 fitness equipment trade show in Vegas, and have been eagerly awaiting it&#8217;s release.  Here, I give you a quick review of the table in case you are considering it.  I will follow up with a more complete review shortly.  Also, the video below is from Teeter, we will have our own which goes into more detail and will be less of a commercial.</p>
<p><a href="http://d3dyx1qt6eo1lh.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/teeter-ep-560-inversion-table.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-16066 alignright" title="teeter-ep-560-inversion-table" src="http://d3dyx1qt6eo1lh.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/teeter-ep-560-inversion-table-216x300.jpg" alt="Teeter EP-560" width="216" height="300" /></a>As you may already know, Teeter Hang Ups has been around for 30 years, longer than any other inversion table manufacturer.  In fact, they are the only manufacturer that only manufacturers inversion tables.  They are widely recognized as the leader in inversion therapy and innovation.  Looking at their track record, warranties, UL certified tables, etc, it would be easy to conclude that purchasing a different brand would be almost foolish (you are suspended upside down on the thing, you know).</p>
<p>Teeter talks at great length about the ComforTrak Bed. They highlight the comfort and durability of this new design.  I see the new bed as being the next design iteration of the Flex Technology bed found on the EP-550, but is not a step-change like when the Flex Technology bed was introduced.  That said, the new bed is plenty comfortable, and I particularly like the &#8220;tracks&#8221; that will accommodate accessories (more on that later).  Also, the three hand grips near the top of the table are very nice for aiding in stretching.</p>
<p>The biggest change, and possibly the most compelling reason to consider purchasing a <a title="Teeter hang ups ep-560 inversion table" href="http://www.betterhealthinnovations.com/Teeter_Hang_Ups_EP_560_Inversion_Table_p/stl-ep-560.htm">Teeter Hang Ups EP-560</a> over an EP-550 are the foot clamps.  The old design supports the feet from the back of the feet (heal and Achilles tendon area) and the top of the feet.  This was a proven design, and is still comfortable.  The new EP-560 design changes this by incorporating the &#8220;Ergo-Embrace&#8221; supports that clamp around your ankles kind of like Gravity Boots.  These were formerly found only on the more expensive <a title="teeter hang ups EP-950 inversion table" href="http://blog.betterinnovations.com/2010/10/30/teeter-hang-ups-improves-the-ep-950-inversion-table/#axzz1txUNTo1C">EP-950 inversion table</a>.   Both are secure and comfortable, so it&#8217;s up to you whether you want to be suspended by your feet (get the EP-550 if that&#8217;s the case) or suspended by your ankles (go with the EP-560).</p>
<p><a href="http://d3dyx1qt6eo1lh.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/teeter-ep-560-inversion-table-features.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-16064" title="teeter-ep-560-inversion-table-features" src="http://d3dyx1qt6eo1lh.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/teeter-ep-560-inversion-table-features-216x300.jpg" alt="Features of the Teeter EP-560 Inversion Table" width="216" height="300" /></a>Two new accessories have been introduced that work with the EP-560 new bed design: Acupressure Nodes and a Lumbar Bridge.  I think that the image shows the possible benefit from these accessories pretty well.  I do wish that Teeter had simply made these standard rather than making them an add-on.  For the Lumber Bridge, if a lumbar cushion or pad makes you feel more comfortable then you should consider it.  Certainly if your car has seats with lumbar support that you keep on a high setting, then get the lumbar bridge.  The benefit of Acupressure Nodes is a little less obvious to most people.  Use of these nodes is a bit like trigger point therapy, but they won&#8217;t go deep enough into the muscle to really be trigger point therapy.</p>
<p>Missing from the new table is a chrome plated main shaft.  This is an obvious cost reduction, but Teeter had always touted the chrome plated main shaft with their previous tables.  Really, it may not be such a big deal.  The advantage of the chrome plating is that the finish will not wear off as the shaft is adjusted for different user heights (chrome is an extremely hard finish).  If only one person will be using the table (or more than one persons of similar height), then the shaft will never be adjusted and wear is not a concern.  To some, the non-chrome shaft may look a bit nicer.</p>
<p><script type="text/javascript">
var playerhost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://biblog.s3.amazonaws.com/ezs3js/secure/" : "http://biblog.s3.amazonaws.com/ezs3js/player/");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + playerhost + "flv/1DF4A118-0D79-ECE7-CA465D5F0E8FF0F8.js?t="+(Math.random() * 99999999)+"' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script></p>
<p>Bottom line is that you really can&#8217;t go wrong with either the EP-550 or the newly designed EP-560.  They are currently the same price, so consider the manner in which your feet are secured and the importance of accessories and a chrome main shaft when deciding between the two.  After all the consideration, you will end up with a very high quality table and your back will thank you for getting it whether you go with the 550 or 560.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Losing belly fat is not that hard a task to accomplish provided all the basic steps are followed with dedication. In order to make your lives simpler, there are 8 steps given below that helps in burning your belly fat.</p>
<p><strong>1.  </strong><strong>Exercise to fight belly fat:</strong> Aerobic workouts facilitate fat loss in the overall parts of the body including the belly area as well. When you perform aerobic exercises, your belly area is the prime target regardless of the body size or shape. Always ensure that you are focusing on calorie burning workouts rather than crunches or sit ups. If your abs muscles are covered with fat, muscle strengthening exercises will not help but aerobic exercises certainly will.</p>
<p><strong>2.  </strong><strong>Include resistance training:</strong> Combining aerobic exercises with resistance training is more beneficial than performing only cardiovascular exercises to get rid of belly fat. This statement has been proven as per the study published in 2006 in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition &amp; Exercise Metabolism. You can perform resistance training with resistance bands, <a href="http://www.betterhealthinnovations.com/Fitness_Equipment_and_Exercise_Equipment_s/128.htm">workout machines </a>or with free weights.</p>
<p><strong>3.  </strong><strong>Decrease the calorie intake and interchange the foods:</strong> When you are hunting ways on how to lose belly fat, you must always remember the basic fact that unless you gain control over calorie intake, it is hard to lose belly fat. There are few tactics that helps in losing belly fat faster provided you have restricted the calorie intake consistently.</p>
<p><strong>4.  </strong><strong>Cut off refined grains for whole grains:</strong> As per scientific studies, people who consumed whole grains along with appropriate servings of vegetables and fruits, low fat dairy, lean meat, fish or poultry lost more fat than people, who consumed the same diet with refined grains. Whole grains change the insulin and glucose response in the body that fastens the process of melting belly fat faster. Go <a href="http://bellyfat360.com/how-to-lose-belly-fat/">here</a> to know more on this.</p>
<p><strong>5.  </strong><strong>Consumption of appropriate fats:</strong> A diet that consist a high ratio of monounsaturated fats such as soybeans, seeds, nuts, avocados, MUFAs prevents the storage of belly fats. This has been proven as per studies and consumption of these fats is highly essential to get rid of belly fat</p>
<p><strong>6.  </strong><strong>Include more fiber in your meal planning</strong>: Soluble fiber such as cherries, oats and apples decreases the insulin levels thereby speeds up the fat burning process. You can add fiber onto your diet gradually. If you are consuming 10 grams of fiber per day, do not instantly add 35 grams the next day. You need to help the digestive system to get accustomed to the fiber content.</p>
<p><strong>7.  </strong><strong>Self motivation: </strong>Motivate yourself by analyzing the risks linked with belly fat. Losing abdominal fat need not have to be entirely a cosmetic motive. One needs to understand the health risks associated with belly fat. Belly fat can lead to diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, necessary precautions need to be taken in order to get rid of belly fat.</p>
<p><strong>8.  </strong><strong>Drink plenty of water:</strong> This is one of the most vital parts of the fat burning process. Water cleanses your body from toxins and helps in increasing metabolism. As a result, the body becomes more capable of burning good amount of fat. Drinking plenty of water makes you less hungry. Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water is very important in order to lose belly fat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone knows that eating chocolates and other candies can make you fat. How would you feel, however, if we told you that this widely believed fact weren’t actually a fact? In fact, we’re going to tell you the opposite.</p>
<p>What if eating chocolate could help make you slimmer?</p>
<p>It’s true; chocolate does contain a whole lot of calories—especially when compared to other healthier foods. So why do studies show that people who eat chocolate on a very regular basis are the ones with less body fat compared to those who don’t?</p>
<p>Several researchers suspect that chocolates contain a different form of calories. Apparently, ingredients found in chocolate appear to make an individual’s metabolism work hard—counteracting or canceling out any fat that would have otherwise stayed around. Yes, that’s right. Certain ingredients in chocolate have metabolic effects that make chocolate a calorie-neutral slimming food. Basically, an individual’s weight is not simply dependent on the number of calories a person consumes a day—but also the basic composition of these calories.</p>
<p>Dr. Beatrice Golomb, a professor at the University of California – San Diego and the lead researcher of this study, considers chocolate to be a plant food, as it is primarily comprised of cocoa butter and chocolate apart from sugar and milk. Cocoa butter is believed to be rich in stearic acid, which is a saturated fat that has favorable effects on a person’s cholesterol level.</p>
<p>In order to study statins, which are cholesterol-lowering drugs, the chocolate-eating habits of over 970 men and women were studied, with the average age of 57. None of the participants knew of any heart problems, and were extensively asked questions related to their lifestyle and diet. Of course, they were asked questions about how often they eat chocolates. Their Body Mass Indexes were also recorded.</p>
<p>The findings were surprising. People who ate more than average amounts of chocolate statistically had a lower Body Mass Index compared to those who didn’t. These participants were overweight with an average BMI of 28, and enjoyed some chocolate at least twice a week. These participants did not engage in more exercise, nor did they consume less calories overall.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, studies have not yet concluded which type of chocolate is best for those who do not wish to gain weight. Also, no link has yet been discovered between a person’s chocolate intake and a lower or higher Body Mass Index.</p>
<p>Also, researchers warn the public that this study may not necessarily apply to all products that contain chocolate. It is still very possible that others can gain weight from chocolate consumption.</p>
<p>What does this study tell us about our food consumption and dieting? Researchers have concluded that although it is important to track the total number of calories one consumes, it definitely shouldn’t be the sole focus of one’s diet. Indulging in a regular chocolate habit doesn’t need to cause as much guilt as it used to. If you never were much of a fan of chocolates, now’s a great time to be one!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you often have pain that seems to travel down your back all the way down to your feet? This could be sciatica and it is a very common condition. Most people think that they have to live with it and treat the symptoms, but a chiropractor can actually treat the problem to allow you to live a pain free life.</p>
<p>Even if you have never visited a chiropractor before, it is something to be considered, as they can restore health to your body. I had never been to one, but it was the best decision that I could ever have made for myself.</p>
<p><strong>Why should you go to a chiropractor for sciatica?</strong></p>
<p>If you are unsure about going to a chiropractor, let me give you some advice. Do your research. You will find a great deal of scientific basis behind the care that a chiropractor can give you. You will also find testimonials from people who have overcome major conditions and pain to finally be able to live their life. I did my research on sciatica and chiropractic care and even though I was still a little hesitant, I decided to make an appointment. I am so glad I did.</p>
<p><strong>What Is Sciatica?</strong></p>
<p>The doctor first explained what sciatica is. “The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in the body. It goes from your lumbar region all the way down to the back of your knee and if there is any entrapment anywhere along the nerve, you will feel pain and/or numbness all along the nerve region,” says Dr. Brian Abelson.</p>
<p>This made sense to me for the first time. I had not understood why I could hurt all the way down my leg, but he made it make sense for the first time, which gave me hope.</p>
<p><strong>How Do Adjustments Help?</strong></p>
<p>After he had explained everything, he explained the process of adjustment to me.</p>
<p>Manipulating the body and putting it into the correct position is the goal of a chiropractor. Due to normal wear and tear on the body, it can get out of alignment, which causes pain and a myriad of other problems. This was the reason for my sciatica and the doctor was able to treat much more than just the symptoms. He could treat the cause, so that I would not have to worry about it again. This was the answer I was looking for.</p>
<p>After a few weeks of adjustments, I really started to feel better. I had no more tingling or numbness and my pain has been alleviated as well. I could not believe that I had waited so long to get help. The doctor said that waiting is common for most patients. In fact, some patients wait too long to get help for their sciatica, thinking that there is nothing that can be done, and cause long term damage to their body, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Damaged nerves</li>
<li>A Weakened Bladder</li>
<li>Deteriorated Calf Muscle(s)</li>
<li>Unrelieved Pain</li>
</ul>
<p>I was so glad that I had no long term damage. I was finally getting back to my life.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t Live With Pain</strong></p>
<p>Living with pain is not something that anyone should have to do. Even if your regular doctor says that there is nothing that they can do without surgery, get a second opinion to find a way to <a href="http://www.ottochiropractic.net/t2/services.html">relieve lower back pain</a>. A chiropractor may be able to treat the cause, rather than the symptoms, to finally get you back to living the life that you were meant to lead.</p>
<p>Find a chiropractor in your area and ask for references. If they check out, then make an appointment for a consultation and see what they have to say. You may be surprised to learn that they deal with this condition all of the time and are able to help you to finally feel better. Do not just settle for living with the pain. Get the help you need to head off any long term damage and to get back to being active. You will be glad you did.</p>
