The Double "O" Of Poor Health

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 16:26:00 +0000

For many people around the world, the struggle with being overweight is more than just an issue of aesthetics or physical appearance. It is a very real health concern for almost 300 million people around the world. What is even more alarming is that 22 million of the world's children below five years old are classified as obese or overweight. Based on a 2000 study released by Media Awareness Network, eight out of 10 Americans above 25 years of age are overweight. The actual figures show that 58 million Americans are overweight and 40 million are obese.

To the average person, being overweight is visually judged and not measured accurately based on medical or scientific parameters. Having the so-called love handles, beer belly, and other bulges around the body are often the obvious signs of being overweight. Being overweight generally indicates that a person has more body fat than what is considered useful for the body's functions. Obesity, on the other hand, is defined as a condition in which the stored fatty tissues in a person's body are increased to a point where it is already a health risk.

There are actual standards set by nutritionist-dietitians using the Body Mass Index (BMI), which is a statistical measure of the weight and body fat of a person scaled according to height. BMI is used by health professionals to discuss a patient's "thinness" or "fatness." However, there are limits to the use of BMI as a health assessment tool since it may overestimate body fat in athletes and other individuals who are well-built; and it may underestimate body fat in the elderly or those who have lost muscle mass. Another method used to as a health assessment tool is called Waist Circumference Factor, which is simply the measurement of the distance around a person's abdomen. Based on an advisory released by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, those who are at risk of developing heart problems and other chronic diseases are women with a waist circumference of over 35 inches; and men with a waist circumference of more than 40 inches. For Asian populations, the World Health Organization has recommended that women maintain a waist circumference of not over 31 inches; and not more that 35 inches for men.

But what does waist line circumference or body mass index all add up to? Why do we need to know our weight or the measurement of our waistline? Researches and studies all point out that overweight or obese individuals are more prone to heart disease, diabetes, kidney problems, and a host of other serious illnesses.

The good news is that many people are now more conscious about their weight and health in general. The remarkable growth of the sports and fitness industries point out that more and more people are taking their physical health more seriously. Enrollment in gyms and other health clubs have risen over the years. The popularity of the fitness franchises like Gold's Gym and Fitness First not only in America but in other parts of the world have made weight lifting and aerobics household words. Even in places where gym memberships are considered as luxuries, minds are being changed as awareness about the need for regular physical exercise is made more widespread and in-depth. In fact, a number of fitness programs have sprung up and have become the latest fads followed by fitness buffs and regular people alike. Pilates, boxing, tae-bo, yoga, and even belly dancing are among the most popular routines utilized by professional fitness experts to teach people who want to lose weight or those who want to improve their physical appearance.

Still, doing physical exercise may no longer be an option for certain people. Those who are extremely overweight or obese need more help in losing unwanted pounds. The use of a weight loss pill is one of the options that can be taken to shed the extra weight. If properly used under the supervision of a health care professional, a weight loss pill can work like a miracle drug. It is important to know that not every

weight loss pill works the same. There are as much number of unfounded claims as there are brands of herbal or dietary pills in the market. These claims can range from the decreasing a person's appetite to ensuring the increase of calorie and fat metabolism. Quite curiously, almost all of these products claim to be the "best weight loss pill." Some of these products contain herbs, botanicals, laxatives and even caffeine. The safety or efficacy of these ingredients when taken together has not yet been properly established. Therefore, it is important to be fully informed about the weight loss products they purchase.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a weight loss diet pill called Orlistat (commonly marketed under the brand name Xenical) that is used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie or low-fat diet and regular exercise. This product works by blocking fat absorption in the intestine. In capsule form, this rapid weight loss pill is taken three times a day with meals.

Indeed, one need not become part of the statistics. Weight loss is not an impossible goal especially if one gets adequate advice from a health professional. The combination of regular exercise, low-fat diet and, if necessary, the use of weight reduction medications can put an overweight or obese individual on the road back to health.

The Quest For The Fountain Of Youth

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 15:58:00 +0000

Aging is inevitable. But it seems age is always an issue most especially to women who would go to such length as exhausting all means to hide or delay the proof of age. Some people are gifted with firm, supple and naturally blushed skin that they can convincingly lie about their real age with less effort. However, some people are not as lucky and may suffer from dry skin, crow's feet and wrinkles that add more years to their appearance and look older than their actual age.

The cosmetics industry is a multi-billion dollar business thanks to the men and women around the world who are continuously searching for the fountain of youth. And since the aging process is unavoidable, skin care treatments and anti-aging products will continue to sell like hot cakes.

The Aging Process

For both men and women, the aging process transforms the skin in relation with hormonal activity, environment as well as one's personal hygiene and skin care habits. When people reach the age of puberty, hormonal changes occur as the body quickly and excessively produces testosterone which results to acne breakouts. Stress, certain diets and medications can also trigger hormonal disturbance which may cause skin irritations. Sun exposure, wind and climate may cause sun burn, dryness, even skin cancer. And poor hygiene will definitely encourage bacterial skin infection which could lead to more serious conditions.

Skin care treatments can help prevent visible signs of aging, if not totally retaining the supple, toned and youthful skin texture. Men are just as prone to skin ailments and premature aging as women. And regardless of gender, there is so much more to skin care treatments than just a desire to look youthful.

Skin Care Solutions

Healthy skin begins from the inside and is projected outside. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can hold-off premature skin aging. A well-balanced diet filled with natural vitamins and minerals will promote healthy skin for a lifetime. Keep your body and your skin hydrated by avoiding smoking and drinking a lot of water or fruit juices. Doing some exercise can relieve stress, thus, helps fight aging.

Cleansing with cool water and mild skin cleanser product twice daily can keep the pores clear of dirt and oil, allowing the skin to breathe. It can also minimize the appearance of unsightly blemishes. Be sure that your skin cleanser matches your skin type. For oily skin, use oil-free products. For sensitive skin, use hypoallergenic cleanser. Never use deodorant soap on your face as it may dry your skin out and cause it to become irritated.

Applying moisturizers on your face twice daily can also help hydrate the skin. People in their forties should consider using an anti-aging or anti-wrinkle night cream to help preserve or restore smoothness and texture of the skin. It is important that men should use moisturizer particularly after shaving. Lubricating ther skin will help stave off wrinkles and discoloration. Aftershave should only be applied to the neck as it may irritate or burn the face, particularly if it contains alcohol. Body lotion, on the other hand, is advised for people of all ages.

Sun protection is vital to prevent damage to your skin. No matter how young or old a person is, too much sun exposure may result in sunburn due to the UV rays emitted by the sun. Wearing sunblock or moisturizer of at least SPF 15 can reduce chances of developing wrinkles and age spots. The sun's radiation is at it's peak from 10 AM - 4 PM even during cloudy weather.

Spa Treatments

Nowadays, it is much easier to take care of one's skin than in the past due to the availability of new and improved skin care solutions and products out in the market as well as the proliferation of spa clinics everywhere you go. Media hype helps in conditioning the mind set about skin pampering outside of your homes. These spa treatments cater not only for women but even to men as well. It should not make the male population feel less of a man by indulging in a massage or facial treatment after work. Most men are very much into the trend nowadays more than you might think. There are treatments created with men in mind that will guarantee a refreshed, rejuvenated and healthy feeling afterward.

Natural Skin Care

More often than not, we can find remedies to most skin care problems from nature itself. As the cliché goes..."the world's largest forests act as Mother Nature's pharmacies". They contain all the important skin care solutions we need to ward off disease, cure minor ailments and nourish our skin and bodies.

Healthy Lifestyle

Caring for your whole body is the most effective way to achieve healthy skin. Relax and find ways to unwind at the end of each day to eliminate stress from your life. It is important to exercise regularly and make sure to eat a well-balanced diet. Avoid smoking and cut down on fatty foods, alcohol, caffeine. These simple guidelines can help you achieve healthy skin as well as your whole well-being for years to come.

Anna Nicole Smith: Accidental Overdose?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 10:02:00 +0000

She was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood at 2:10 p.m. where she died,Tiger said.(Watch how Smith's death leaves daughter's fate undecided )

Anna Nicole Smith's body is carried into the church in Nassau, Bahamas, Friday, March 2, 2007, for her funeral, three weeks after she died.

There's just no argument about it. Drug overdose can either be accidental or intentional. It happens when an individual takes more than the usual medically recommended dose. However, some people may be more sensitive to certain medications that their metabolism cannot stand the potency of the drug resulting in adverse effects such as overdose.

It can happen to people of any age. Accidental overdose is most common in very young children (from crawling age to about 5 years) while intentional overdose involves mostly adolescents and adults in order to harm themselves. Those who do it on purpose may be suffering from underlying mental health conditions, as well as emotional problems such as depression and anxiety disorder.

Celebrities are prone to drug overdose due to the stress and pressure their career and lifestyle bring. Take the case of River Phoenix who collapsed and died of a drug overdose on the pavement outside of a rock club during Halloween night in 1993 at age 23. Don Simpson, who was one of Hollywood's most successful producers of the 80's & 90's with hits like Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop, Flashdance, The Rock, died of a drug overdose Jan 1996. Actor John Belushi of Animal House & The Blues Brothers died of a drug overdose at 33 years old. And just recently, reality t.v. star and heiress Anna Nicole Smith.

She was hotness personified. She did not only grace the cover of Playboy but even bagged that coveted title of "Playmate of the Year" in 1993. The bunny mag made her into an overnight sensation that sent men everywhere to keep asking for more. And that included Paul Marciano, Co-Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of one of today's most recognized and influential brand names in the fashion industry, Guess?, who gave Anna her ticket to the glamorous life of modelling, and eventually, showbiz.

Anna Nicole Smith, who was born Vicki Lynn Hogan on November 28, 1967, in Houston, Texas rose to fame and headed in the same direction as the screen goddess legend, Marilyn Monroe. And just like her idol, Anna Nicole experienced celebrity status as well as a life of tribulations. At the age of 17, Anna (then Vicki) married Billy Smith who sired her a son they called Daniel. The relationship was short-lived so Anna began working as a topless dancer in one of the clubs in Houston to be able to raise her son and to pay the bills. She was discovered by a photographer and made her realized that she could use her body to fulfill her dreams.

Unfortunately, after a series of controversies such as marrying a very senior citizen, 80-year old oil tycoon Howard Marshall II, bitter court battles between her secretary, son-in-law, an ex-lover, and a slimming product, Anna Nicole Smith was found unconscious in her Florida hotel room on Feb 8, 2007, and was pronounced dead upon arrival to the hospital.

The headline reads: "An accidental overdose of prescription drugs killed former reality TV star and Playboy playmate Anna Nicole Smith". According to Seminole tribal police Chief Charlie Tiger, the case was already closed. "We are convinced, based on extensive review of the evidence, that this case is an accidental overdose with no other criminal element present," said Tiger at a news conference announcing Smith's autopsy results.

Howard K. Stern, Smith's lawyer and rumored lover, sent a statement calling the death a tragic accident. Read by his own attorney, Lilly Ann Sanchez, "At no time was there any indication of wrongdoing, whatsoever," she said. "It's horrible, it's painful, it's tragic, but it is an accident." Media reports implicating Stern in the overdose accident of Smith was considered "outrageous speculations" by Sanchez. She said that Stern did not feel vindicated for he lost the most important person in his life, emphasizing that he loved Anna completely.

Several prescription medications were discovered inside the hotel room and were all under the name of both Smith and Stern. Joshua Perper, Broward County medical examiner, said prescription and over-the-counter drugs were found in Smith's system, including three antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs. Toxicology testing also revealed the presence of human growth hormone and chloral hydrate, a depressant to induce sleep.

According to Perper, the drugs in Smith's system acted on the respiration and circulation systems and basically shut them down. Contrary to speculations, he did not believe that Smith tried to kill herself due to the large amount of chloral hydrate remaining in the bottle, and the normal levels of the other medications in her system.

Autopsy results showed evidence that Smith had an abscess in her left buttock that had been perforated by a needle, probably caused by the injections of either the growth hormone or vitamin B-12. Such perforation allowed the bacteria entry into Smith's blood causing a high fever in the days prior to her death. She was being treated with Tamiflu and Cipro, an antiviral medication and the other an antibiotic. Perper theorized that this would have not happened had Anna Nicole sought treatment for the fever and infection at a hospital where she wouldn't have had the opportunity to take the chloral hydrate.

The remains of Anna Nicole Smith was buried in the Bahamas last March 2, 2007 next to the grave of her son, Daniel, who died in September, shortly after the birth of her daughter, Dannielynn. It is interesting to know that his son's death was also ruled as an accidental overdose of three antidepressant medications: methadone, Lexapro and Zoloft.
