Your Brain on Potato Chips

Or, more accurately, a rat's brain on potato chips. Last week, PLoS One published a very interesting paper by Dr. Tobias Hoch and colleagues on what happens in a rat's brain when it is exposed to a highly palatable/rewarding food (1). Rats, like humans, overconsume highly palatable foods even when they're sated on less palatable foods (2), and feeding rats a variety of palatable human junk foods is one of the most effective ways to fatten them (3). Since the brain directs all behaviors, food consumption is an expression of brain activity patterns. So what is the brain activity pattern that leads to the overconsumption of a highly palatable and rewarding food?

Salt Sugar Fat

I'd just like to put in a quick word for a book that will be released tomorrow, titled Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us, by Pulitzer prize-winning author Michael Moss.  This is along the same lines as Dr. David Kessler's book The End of Overeating, which explains how the food industry uses food reward, palatability, and food cues to maximize sales-- and as an unintended side effect, maximize our waistlines.   Judging by Moss's recent article in New York Times Magazine, which I highly recommend reading, the book will be excellent.  I've pre-ordered it.


Protein Benefits For The Body




One of the most blame when your weight is getting bounced metabolism. However, do we know if the metabolism is it exactly?

Metabolism
In what sense is simply the body's rate of burning calories so that the resulting energy. The body produces energy to survive
life. Remember ... that your body needs energy all the time even when sleeping, so skipping meals is the worst thing in your life. In the diet program, you have to keep the metabolic rate to remain high, skipping meals will make
sluggish metabolism so that calories tend to be stored in the body.

What affects metabolism?
Is the main thing that affects the metabolism? Is day-to-day activities? Is Thyroid function? Does age? Thyroid, activity and age do affect metabolism, but not the main one. The most affected is the muscle metabolic rate. The more muscle you have, the more fat you will burn regardless of how much activity, age, etc.. Muscle tissue is a living tissue that burns fat at any time during the 24 hours non-stop
every day!
Things that affect metabolism, in order of the most affecting:

Network
Muscle: Muscle is a fat-burning machine, the more the muscles that form the burning of calories from fat is also growing. Frequency of eating: Eat in frequency often to avoid reduction in metabolism and keep blood sugar levels stable.
Level of activity: It is also important but it should be combined with proper diet and frequency of eating that often.
Choice of food: Fatty foods are metabolized so hard to make the slower metabolic rate.
Sufficient water: Water helps the body's metabolic processes.
Genetics: Genetic factors make each person's metabolic rate is different, but this is not the main factor. Function of hormones: Thyroid is a hormone regulator of metabolism, which keeps blood sugar stable so as to avoid reduction in metabolic rate. Stress: Excessive stress causes metabolic rate slows further. Why Can Slow Metabolism? Often people who want to lose weight will reduce the amount of food consumed, but by reducing the consumption of foods
day-to-day, your metabolism will be slow. The truth is setting the type of food. Reducing calories suddenly will ruin your metabolism.


Here are two main causes slow metabolism:
Decreased muscle mass due to lack of physical activity decreased activity with age was increasing, not because of the increasing age of the lowered metabolism Lack of food consumption will make the body will take the energy reserves of the muscle because the intake of nutrients that are lacking in the muscle when needed
A diet which is very less or consume foods that ruin your metabolism as high sugar foods, low in protein and high in fat metabolism Improving actually simple, but not easy. Need dedication and knowledge to improve your metabolism.
Begin to adjust your diet with high protein, high in fiber and start lifting weights. Undoubtedly your BB down, well formed muscle and fat will be lost.

The benefits of protein for the body is huge. The content of protein in the human body reaches 1/6 of the weight of the human body. Protein is essential for the development of every cell in the body and also to maintain immunity.

As one of the nutrients that are needed by humans, protein is very important in its infancy. Adequate protein intake can also help in the process of wound healing, cell regeneration to regulate the hormones and enzymes in the body.

    Protein also has a major function in the body to form a network with the amino acid content. Protein deficiency in children can cause growth disturbance. In addition, protein deficiency can also cause diseases such as kwashiorkor and marasmus.

  Some sources of protein such as milk, meat, fish, eggs, corn, potatoes, seed plants. Protein is also divided into two, namely vegetable and animal proteins. Both are equally important for the body.

    Animal protein is a protein derived from animals. Raw foods contain proteins such as meat, eggs, and dairy animals. While the vegetable protein is a protein derived from plants, such as fruits and nuts.

    Although protein is needed for the body, but the intake of other nutrients must keep your attention. Make sure your protein intake is adequate daily protein for maximum benefit.

How To Treat Hirsutism

Hirsutism is not a disease and it is rarely caused by a serious illness. Unfortunately in our society, excess hair growth in woman is considered abnormal and this can cause distress or embarrassment. At least 25% of normal middle-aged women have unwanted facial hair and many women do not realise the treatment options that are available.

In some cases, hirsutism may be as a result of an underlying medical disorder. This can easily be ruled out with a medical history and some simple blood tests. The treatment of hirsutism begins with a detailed description of the problem and ensuring that the patient does not lose their femininity. Then, direct intervention, if possible, is instituted for the underlying disorder.

In some cases, cosmetic measures may be sufficient. In others, the slow progress of systemic therapy may necessitate more immediate cosmetic treatment. If hirsutism persists (or the patient has idiopathic hirsutism), other cosmetic or systemic treatment may be necessary. The most effective strategy is to combine a systematic treatment that contains a slow onset of effectiveness, with mechanical hair removal (shaving, plucking, waxing and depilatory creams) or light-based hair removal (laser or pulsed light).

Hirsutism requires careful evaluation, systematic and rational approach to clinical treatment. Throughout this process, the patient must understand that even if the diagnostic tests can be a waste of time (and inconclusive), it is sometimes necessary to identify effective interventions. In other cases, it may be counseling and education all that is necessary. For the patient who wants treatment, a wide range of pharmaceutical strategies are available. 

As the current treatment system is not perfect it is very important for the patient to give informed consent after a complete explanation of the potential benefits and risks of a particular treatment and alternative approaches.  


Who should see a doctor?
Any woman experiencing difficulties in controlling body or facial hair by cosmetic methods should discuss this with a General Practitioner, as referral to an Endocrinologist (Specialist interested in hormone problems) may be beneficial. An Endocrinologist can provide reassurance, arrange appropriate investigations and discuss the options for treatment. 

What investigations may be needed? Blood tests can be done to check the levels of male and female hormone levels. These can usually be done at the time of visiting the outpatient clinic. Occasionally more sophisticated hormone tests are needed and these can be arranged as an outpatient at the Clinical Investigation Unit. An ultrasound of the ovaries and CT scan the adrenal glands may also be necessary in some patients.


What treatmentsare available?

  1. Cosmetic

  • Bleaching makes the excessive hair less obvious.
  • Depilatory creams
  • Shaving: contrary to popular opinion, shaving does not make the hair grow more thickly! Electric shavers are probably better than wet type, as there is less tendency to irritate or damage the skin.
  • Waxing pulls hairs out from the roots and needs to be repeated regularly.
  • Epilady removes the hair by a combined cut and pull.
  • Electrolysis may result in permanent hair loss, but takes time as a small area is treated every few weeks. Electrolysis can be expensive and unskilled treatment may cause scarring.
  • Laser therapy is useful for facial hair removal in certain skin types.

Food Reward Friday

This week, Food Reward Friday is going to be a little bit different. I've received a few e-mails from people who would like to see me write about some of the less obvious examples of food reward-- foods that are less extreme, but much more common, and that nevertheless promote overeating. Let's face it, even though they're funny and they (sometimes) illustrate the principle, most people reading this blog don't eat banana splits very often, much less pizzas made out of hot dogs.

So this week's "winner" is something many of you have in your houses right now, and which was also the subject of an interesting recent study... potato chips!

Did you know that the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there are approximately 180 million people in the world who has a visual impairment, and about 40-45 million of them blind? At least 7 million people worldwide become blind every year. Tragically, as many as 80% of cases of blindness and serious vision loss could have been avoided.

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of blindness in adults. Prolonged high blood glucose can lead to diabetic retinopathy and other eye complications such as glaucoma and cataracts. When you have diabetes, it is advisable for you to eat healthy foods, check blood sugar regularly and taking medicine or taking insulin injections as instructed doctors.

Vitamin A deficiency causes night blindness disease called (java: kotok chicken) where one can not see in the dim light. Carrots are a major source of pro-vitamin A.

4. Protect your eyes from the sun
Exposure to sunlight can continually cause cataracts and macular degeneration. This is due to the ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun penetrate the retina, causing eye damage. To prevent harmful UV rays, wear sunglasses designed specifically to protect the eyes when you're out in the sun for a long time. Glasses are generally provide UV protection up to 99% or 100%.

5. Use eye protection
If you work with hazardous materials, wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from injury, damage, and blindness. Wear goggles or helmet mirror when you are riding a motorcycle. Certain sports such as tennis, hockey and swimming can also harm or risk of eye damage. Wear eye protection such as helmets and goggles to protect your sport.

6. Make a good habit for the eyes
Although eye problems are generally associated with damage or aging, eye problems can also be caused by bad habits. Focusing on a fixed distance in a long time, like staring at a computer screen or reading for hours, is one of them. The muscles of your eyes will be locked in a fixed position so that the loss of flexibility, the objects are very close or very far to look blurry. Take rest breaks and shift your gaze on distant objects to help prevent this problem. Regular eye exercises can also help restore vision and prevent problems in the future. Examples of eye exercises are alternately focus on objects near and far, as well as focusing on the same object with different angles.

7. Visit your eye doctor.
Visit your eye doctor to monitor your eye health before problems arise. A visit to the eye doctor for regular checkups can be done every one or two years, more often if you wear glasses or contact lenses. Immediately visit the eye doctor if you experience eye infections or symptoms such as reduced vision, blurred vision, eye pain / redness and itching around the eyes or eyelids due to infection or chronic eye disease that can lead to permanent damage or blindness.

Know About Unwanted Hairs : Learn more about hirsute and look better

Unwanted hair appears all over the face, body, such as the legs, chest, back, armpits and feet, the normal amount of body hair for women varies. Most of the time, a woman only has fine hair, or peach fuzz, above the lips and on the chin, chest, abdomen, or back. If you have coarse, dark hairs in these areas, the condition is called hirsutism. Such hair growth is more typical of men.

Carefully take a closer look at the hair in question. To make a diagnosis of hirsutism, you need to know the type and location. There are two types of hair on your body. There is "terminal" hair that is relatively long, coarse and pigmented like those on the eyebrows, eyelashes, underarm and of course the scalp and pubic areas.    



The second type of hair is called "vellus" hair, is found elsewhere on the body. It is shorter, softer and lighter in color. Some people call this "peach fuzz" type of hair and may have it on their bellies, chins, legs and arms. In hirsutism, you have terminal type hair on the chin and/or upper lip, chest or back

In most cases, the exact cause is never identified. It tends to run in families. In general, hirsutism is a harmless condition. But many women find it bothersome, or even embarrassing. Excessive hair in woman can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, certain medications such as hormones or steroids; or even medical abnormalities, such as higher androgen (male hormone) levels or conditions of the endocrine system, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS) or problems with menstrual periods, trouble losing weight, and diabetes.

If these symptoms start suddenly, you may have a tumor that releases male hormones.

Males� hormones such as testosterone, which are also known as androgens and are produced by both males and females, can increase hair growth rate and also transform vellus hair to terminal hair. It�s not surprising, therefore, that in many women; hirsutism is due to elevated levels of androgens.

WHAT TO DO

You may not realize that there are many unwanted hair removal methods. Every option has different pros, cons, price points and may not be the best choice depending on where you want to remove hair.
Because the amount of body hair varies considerably from woman to woman and there is a wide range that is considered normal, someone may think she has excessive hair but not be considered hirsute. For example, heavy hair growth occurring on the calves or arms, areas where women normally have hair is not likely to be classified as hirsutism. Therefore, the initial step is evaluation via a physical exam to look at the pattern and type of hair growth.

If hirsute is confirmed, the next step is to determine underlying medical problems that may be causing the condition. This is accomplished by taking a complete medical history; administering a physical and if necessary pelvie exam and frequently ordering blood tests to determine hormone levels.

Slimming down can also help overweight women with hirsute because losing weight can decrease production of male hormones in fatty tissue. In addition weight loss can help women whose hirsutism is caused by PCOS. That condition puts women at increased risk for insulin problems, but shedding some extra pounds lowers the risk substantially. Plucking and waxing are other options but they may result in ingrown hairs. Lasers are the most permanent methods of hair removal- both methods damage individual hair follicles so the hairs do not grow back but they are little expensive and require multiple treatments.
