Don't Believe The Media Flu Hype

paulfeilers@gmail.com (PaulsHealthBlog.com) — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:10:00 +0000

There are times when I'm leery of the news media. One of those occasions is during the flu season. The media has a vested interest in keeping us glued to the television. And one way they do this is through fear and hype.

Well, the recent flu hysteria is another case of where the hype did not meet expectations. In a recent Wall Street Journal article titled, "The Flu Season That Fizzled", experts are puzzled as to why the actual number of flu cases are well below normal levels.

"This is typically the peak of flu," said James Turner, executive director of the University of Virginia's department of student health. He said the Charlottesville, Va., student health center usually sees as many as 130 students a week complaining of flu symptoms this time of year. Recently, no more than three to five students a week have been coming in with fever, cough or other signs of flu, he said.

Your best defense against the flu is a strong immune system. You can accomplish this through a number of ways, including nine or more servings a day of fruits and vegetables.

So next year, when the flu season is near, don't believe the media hype.

Eat Well. Live Well.

Starchy Foods

paulfeilers@gmail.com (PaulsHealthBlog.com) — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 16:50:00 +0000

Starchy foods are difficult for your body to digest, slow down your metabolism, give you a feeling of tiredness and make your body retain water.

Starchy foods also make your body secrete serotonin, chemical that makes you feel drowsy and lethargic. It makes your thinking cloudy and foggy.

Did The Surgeon General Get It Wrong About Weight Loss?

paulfeilers@gmail.com (PaulsHealthBlog.com) — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 21:26:00 +0000

The 18th Surgeon General of the United States, Regina Benjamin, is visibly overweight. Now, she's a highly trained physician. She famously set up a medical clinic for Alabama's poor hit hardest by Hurricane Katrina. She's unquestionably knowledgeable and experienced.

But she's also overweight.

Does this negatively impact her role as the public face of health? Does her weight detract from the message? Should we always trust health authorities, regardless of their appearance?

You can find out more by checking out, TheTruthAboutObesity.com. You'll discover if the Surgeon General got it right about weight and weight loss, or not.

Fruits and Veggies Lacking in Teen Diets

paulfeilers@gmail.com (PaulsHealthBlog.com) — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 23:37:00 +0000

Teenage nutrition gets a failing grade according to findings from the CDC. Their research shows nine out of ten teens are not eating the daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables.

One possible reason is parents are doing a poor job of setting a good example. The CDC's adult survey showed only 27 percent get the recommended three servings of vegetables per day and 33 percent get the two servings of fruit.

Is The Internet The New Scapegoat for Obesity?

paulfeilers@gmail.com (PaulsHealthBlog.com) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 02:06:00 +0000

Is surfing the web to blame for obesity?

A new study points the finger for overweight risk squarely at the computer monitor.

According to published findings in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, people who spend more time in front of the computer have an increased risk of obesity - even if those people believe they get enough exercise.

Australian researchers found that frequent Internet users were 2.5 times more likely to be obese than those who didn't log on at all. Researchers' advice on the best way to minimize the effects of marathon web sessions? Limit other sedentary activities.

Dangers of Hidden Fat: Normal Weight Obesity

Can you be a normal weight, yet fat at the same time?

According to this article in the Wall Street Journal, the scale can indeed lie.

"A report from The Mayo Clinic suggests that fat in your body can get you and your heart into trouble, even if you don't look fat and if the scale tells you you're healthy."

I bet you already know the answer to reducing unhealthy body fat: Eat a healthy diet and exercise.

The Health Benefits of Coconut Oil

paulfeilers@gmail.com (PaulsHealthBlog.com) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:43:00 +0000

Coconut oil has many good virtues. Included in that list are a ton of saturated fat, strengthening of mineral absorption and helps improve blood sugar as well as insulin control. The rich flavor of coconut is another added bonus.

This tropical oil also can act as an appetite suppressant. Research indicates that about 700-800 calories of fat per day keeps hunger away.

You can find out more weight loss ideas like this one in the ER Fat Burn™ program.

(Note: Saturated fats are required for many crucial functions in the body. They make up part of the structure of cell membranes. They enhance calcium absorption and immune function. They aid in the body's synthesis of essential fatty acids and provide a rich source of fat soluble vitamins.)

Is Saturated Fat Associated With Heart Disease?

paulfeilers@gmail.com (PaulsHealthBlog.com) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 20:28:00 +0000

A recent study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, concluded that consuming saturated fat is not associated with cardiovascular disease.

A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD.

But what's really interesting is what they didn't find:

Insufficient evidence (2 criteria) of association is present for intake of supplementary vitamin E and ascorbic acid (vitamin C); saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids; total fat; -linolenic acid; meat; eggs; and milk.

No associations for total fat, saturated fat, or consuming meat, eggs and milk. They did find that vegetables and nuts may be protective.

Finally, a diet low in carbohydrates, especially sugar, starch and processed carbs, helps reduce the risk of heart disease too.

Score Another One For The Low Carb Diet

paulfeilers@gmail.com (PaulsHealthBlog.com) — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:30:00 +0000

Did you know a low-carb diet has many more benefits other than weight loss?

According to this new study, "a low-carbohydrate diet was equally good as the weight loss drug orlistat (the active ingredient in Alli and Xenical) at helping overweight and obese people lose weight."

However, people who followed the low-carb diet also experienced a healthy drop in their blood pressure levels as well.

"I expected the weight loss to be considerable with both therapies but we were surprised to see blood pressure improve so much more with the low-carbohydrate diet than with orlistat." - Researcher William S. Yancy, Jr., MD, an associate professor of medicine at Duke University Medical Center

In other words, you're much better off changing your diet and lifestyle in order to lose weight, rather relying on any sort of weight loss pill or drug.

The ER Fat Burn™ is a healthy, low-carb way to lose weight and get your energy back - without any pills, shakes or gimmicks. Best of all, you use real food that you can find at just about any grocery store.

How To Lose Weight: A Brief Summary

paulfeilers@gmail.com (PaulsHealthBlog.com) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:51:00 +0000

It's that time of year again. And everyone wants to not only be healthy, but lose a little weight to be lookin' good this summer!

Following is a short weight loss summary:

Eat real food. Eat a lot of vegetables and some fruit. If it comes in a bag, box or wrapper, it likely is not real food.

No sugar or grains, including corn, which is a grain. Grains and sugars stimulate the insulin response, which makes you fat. Long-term, it makes you diseased.

When eating meat, try to eat grass-fed meat. Make sure you consume enough good fats, like real butter, coconut oil, and fat from meat. Real eggs are a good source too. Good fats satisfies and decreases appetite.

Take a good whole-food supplement so you don't have a deficiency. Deficiencies cause cravings, among other things.

Drink a lot of water. Use Stevia for sweetener when drinking things like tea.

Walk, ride a bike or any other exercise you enjoy. If you like it, you'll do it long-term.

Finally, weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint. Losing two pounds a week is a good goal. That will help you change your habits and thought process. In six months to a year, you'll be looking good!
