Where does your state rank when it comes to obesity?

By Maia Szalavitz for MSN Health & Fitness

Although childhood obesity appears to be stabilizing, adult obesity is continuing its relentless rise, according to a new analysis of government statistics. Influenced, perhaps, by the example of our svelte president and his wife who head a campaign against childhood obesity, Washington, D.C. was the only area in the country to show a decline in the proportion of obese adults.

In contrast, 28 states continued the decades-long weight gain. Two thirds of Americans are now either overweight (defined as a body-mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher) or obese (A 30-plus BMI).

The new report, “F as in Fat,” was issued by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Trust for America’s Health—and contains policy recommendations, aimed primarily at coordinating the government’s response to the epidemic.

“The movement to reverse the epidemic is gathering force but we are not yet seeing measurable improvement,” said James Marks, MD, Senior Vice President of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, “At the national level, it looks like the rise in childhood obesity has leveled off. We’re hopeful that these first signs will be sustained or that we will start to see the numbers turn downwards.”

Antibody Finding May Help in Quest for AIDS Vaccine

Posted on July 9, 2010 by Lais Chai - Pollen

By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Editor Maggie Fox, Health And Science Editor – Thu Jul 8, 5:20 pm ET — Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Researchers have discovered antibodies that can protect against a wide range of AIDS viruses and said they may be able to use them to design a vaccine against the fatal and incurable virus.

The bodies of some people make these immune system proteins after they are infected with the AIDS virus, when it is too late for them to do much good. But a properly designed vaccine might help the body make them much sooner, the researchers reported in Friday’s issue of the journal Science.

“I am more optimistic about an AIDS vaccine at this point in time than I have been probably in the last 10 years,” Dr. Gary Nabel of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who led the study, said in a telephone interview.

Two of the antibodies can attach to and neutralize 90 percent of the various mutations of the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS, Nabel said.

Stomach Cramps and Queasiness on Zi Xiu Tang

Posted on July 8, 2010 by Lais Chai - Pollen

A popular question these days seems to be, “What causes stomach cramps and queasiness while taking Zi Xiu Tang Beauty Face and Figure Capsules?” This common, yet uncomfortable, side effect can be caused by any number of things.

Typically stomach cramps and queasiness are signals that the body is in starvation mode. The easiest explanation would be peristalsis, a series of intestinal contractions that force food through the intestines, much in the way you would squeeze toothpaste from a tube. Other contributors to stomach cramps and queasiness are: not drinking enough water, not eating, not eating enough, waiting too long after waking and taking pills to eat, and taking in too much fiber.

One thing to remember about ZXTBP is that first and foremost it is a DETOX! This means that it was designed to rid your body of all bad toxins, fat, and acidity to help bring your body back into good health. You have to keep your body hydrated so that it has a way to flush what Zi Xiu Tang is helping to remove. Most queasiness experienced is from there not being enough fluids within the body to efficiently flush the toxins. This is why it is so important for you to make sure you are drinking at the very minimum (2) two liters of water daily. Aside from not drinking enough water, not eating enough is an easy and sure fire way to bring on those nagging stomach cramps.

Not eating is going to cause your body to react negatively to not having the nutrients and energy necessary for the body to properly carry out the process of helping you to naturally lose weight. So though you are trying to lose weight, not eating will not help, but hinder your ability to do so ‘efficiently’. A helpful tip to making sure you are eating enough, is to prepare several small snack portions of fruits, veggies, meats, cheeses, and crackers that you can pick up and munch on at anytime. Trail mix is a quick and excellent way to provide the body with the fuel it needs to help keep those cramps and queasiness at bay, while giving you the energy you need to get things done.

Why You Can’t Lose Those Last 10 Pounds

Why traditional diets don’t work anymore

Because high school biology was likely a while back, here’s a quick refresher: The endocrine system is made up of all the glands and cells that produce the hormones that regulate our bodies. Growth and development, sexual function, reproductive processes, mood, sleep, hunger, stress, metabolism and the way our bodies use food — it’s all controlled by hormones. So whether you’re tall or short, lean or heavy — that’s all determined in a big way by your endocrine system.

But your endocrine system is a finely tuned instrument that can easily be thrown off-kilter. “Obesogens are thought to act by hijacking the regulatory systems that control body weight,” says Frederick vom Saal, Ph.D., curators’ professor of biological sciences at the University of Missouri. That’s why endocrine disruptors are so good at making us fat — and that’s why diet advice doesn’t always work — because even strictly following the smartest traditional advice won’t lower your obesogen exposure. See, an apple a day may have kept the doctor away 250 years ago when Benjamin Franklin included the phrase in his almanac. But if that apple comes loaded with obesity-promoting chemicals — nine of the ten most commonly used pesticides are obesogens, and apples are one of the most pesticide-laden foods out there — then Ben’s advice is way out of date.

The problem people have with losing weight is not understanding that the fact they are overweight or obese may have nothing to do with food! Many times the weight issues people experience is quite simply due to having an acidic or toxic system. Think of your liver, kidney, and spleen as if they were coffee filters.

In order to get the strong, full flavored goodness of the coffee you must use fresh coffee, a clean new filter, filtered water, and a pinch of salt. At the end of brewing your senses can be delighted by the wonderful aroma’s dancing along your palate. Now what happens to the taste of your coffee if you don’t toss the filter and use a new one the next time you brew? Your coffee is not going to be as tasty as the first pot. This same principle applies to your system as well.

Your liver, kidneys, and spleen are meant to be filters for the toxins in your system. When your body gets overrun and cannot process food and waste as intended, toxins get displaced back into your system. Higher amounts of toxins in your body create an environment of increased acidity. Your body now has no choice but to create fat as a way to protect your body from the harmful damages of the toxic environment your internal organs are now stewing in. Not understanding these facts about fat are the reason people hit a plateau and can’t lose the rest of the weight. Zi Xiu Tang Beauty, Face, & Figure Capsules is here to help.
