Depression and Obesity

Depression and Obesity – What you can do

Obesity

Depression and obesity put together can be very dangerous to you in all dimensions.

The rate at which obesity and weight related complications are growing in troubling the healthcare providers globally. Much as it is a health condition that can be avoided our life style has betrayed us in putting proper control to this health condition. If for example you have a considerable high body mass index which is significantly more than what is considered healthy for your body height then you are probably increasing the risk of many serious health conditions in your body. Some of the health conditions associated with obesity and overweight may include:

  • Hypertension
  • Heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Asthma
  • Sleep apnea and
  • Some forms of cancer.

For women, obesity can lead to problems in the reproductive system. And studies show that severe cases of obesity can reduce your life expectancy, particularly if you are a young adult. The causes of obesity are rarely limited to genetic factors, prolonged overeating or a sedentary lifestyle. What we do and don’t do often results from how we think and feel. For example, feelings of sadness, anxiety or stress often lead people to eat more than usual. Unless you act to address these emotions, however, these short-term coping strategies can lead to long-term problems.

Emotional interactions

In most cases obesity comes a long side depression, when these two conditions are put together, they can influence and trigger each other resulting to further complications. Although women are slightly more at risk for having an unhealthy BMI than men, they are much more vulnerable to the obesity-depression cycle. In one study, obesity in women was associated with a 37 percent increase in major depression. There is also a strong relationship between women with a high BMI and more frequent thoughts of suicide.

Depression is very dangerous because in many cases result in stressful life, and when stress is allowed in one’s life then this may bring alterations in you social life and feeding habits. Many people who have difficulty recovering from sudden or emotionally draining events (like demise of a close friend or family member, relationship difficulties, losing a job or facing a serious medical problem) unknowingly begin eating too much food (normally junk food) and forget about engagement in physical activities. With this kind of change of habit it becomes very difficult to change the new trend and more weight is gained and eventually obesity settles in.

Binge eating, a behavior associated with both obesity and other conditions such as anorexia nervosa, is also a symptom of depression. In a recent study of obese people with binge eating problems it was established that about 51% of the participant in the study had a history of major depression and yet in another study it was evident that obese women with binge eating disorder but who had suffered bullying and discrimination about their body size developed body dissatisfaction and depression.

What you can do

Dealing with obesity and similar weight-control problems requires adopting new habits that foster a healthier lifestyle. It is important that this is done progressively and not in haste. The body needs to systematically adapt to the new changes being introduced to it. For instance if you were to incorporate physical activities it must be done in an orderly manner and failure to do this will result in compounding your already risky health situation. You can train the body in adapting to these new changes by considering a team approach that involves several qualified health professionals. In this case doctor Akoury who is an expert in this line will help you develop a safe plan for losing weight that includes both diet and exercise. Doctor Dalal Akoury is not only experienced in weight loss but she is also a medical professional fellowship trained and certified in anti-aging functional and regenerative medicine, as well as having more than twenty years of accumulated experience in emergency medicine, pediatrics, addiction and a master’s degree in public health. She has also served fellowships in pediatric hematology/oncology and has performed research in leukemia and the effects of smoking and other addictive substances. Your condition will be sorted out professionally if only you can call this great professional today.

In an effort to trying helping yourself be free from being obese, the following are some hints to consider for yourself or your loved ones to take action against obesity:

  • Think about what you eat and why. Track your eating habits by keeping a journal of everything you eat, including time of day and amount of food. Also record what was going through your mind at the time of eating, like were you sad or upset with something? Or, had you just finished a stressful experience and felt the need for “comfort food?” Put such things down.
  • Cut down on portions while eating the same foods.  Along with making dieting feel less depriving, you’ll soon find that the smaller portions are just as satisfying. This will also give you a platform to safely curb your appetite even more.
  • Note that while treating obesity often helps decrease feelings of depression, weight loss is never successful if you remain burdened by stress and other negative feelings. You may have to work to resolve these issues first before beginning a weight-loss program.
  • Losing weight is always easier when you have the support of friends and family. Try to enlist the entire household in eating a healthier diet. Many hospitals and schools also sponsor support groups made up of people who offer each other valuable encouragement and support.
  • Use the “buddy system.” Ask a friend or family member to be “on-call” for moral support when you’re tempted to stray from your new lifestyle. Just be sure you’re not competing with this person to lose weight.
  • Don’t obsess over “bad days” when you can’t help eating more. This is often a problem for women who tend to be overly hard on themselves for losing discipline. Look at what thoughts or feelings caused you to eat more on a particular day, and how you can deal with them in ways other than binge eating.

Finally together we can defeat obesity and kick it out from our societies. With the right thing done and guidance from doctor Akoury the founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, a facility where treatment is administered by experts using natural means and focusing on Neuroendocrine Restoration (NER) to reinstate normality through realization of the oneness of Spirit, Mind, and Body, Unifying the threesome into ONE nothing will go wrong and you will have your life back living it to the fullest.

Medicines and Sex

Medicines and Sex – Not a very Good Combination

Sex

Sex is suppose to give people comfort and pleasure, when sex is delivering the opposite then you and your partner need to seek for treatment.

Many relationships, marriages are suffocating and happiness is literally missing and has no place in many relationships because of bedroom problems. I am talking about sexual discomfort experienced in most relationships today. This could be due to erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and inadequate flow of blood to the penis or any other malfunctions. It is true that both men and woman are equally affected and it takes a complex chain of events to move from arousal to satisfying orgasm. The following must be properly balanced for this to be achieved:

  • The mind has to stay focused
  • The nerves have to stay sensitive
  • The blood has to flow to all the right places

Much as we desire to have all these to function properly many at times this is not so and often things can break the chain including even the pills you were prescribed for to offer solution. The medical professionals will tell you that medicines often work by making alterations in your blood flow and the brain chemistry it is therefore no surprise that these medicine may affect your sexual function negatively. Careful attention should be taken when using medications because the truth is medications can rip off a person’s sex drive, delay orgasm or even prevent orgasm completely and may even cause an erectile dysfunction in men.

It takes great sacrifice to build a relationship and sexual matters should not be the reason why you are experiencing problems, therefore if you are noticing certain signs of drop in your ability to have or enjoy sex, you must take the most appropriate step of finding timely solutions to this problem before it is too late. Talking to doctor Dalal Akoury will be the best thing you can do for yourself and to your relationship. Doctor Akoury is available and she is only a phone call away, you don’t have to worry when you’re being attended by this great doctor who has been in this discipline for over two decades. It may not matter the kind of medication you were using before, during your one on one consultation with the doctor she will evaluate your situation and eliminate all your worries.

Medicines and Sex – Drugs affecting your sexual function

Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitor are a class of compounds characteristically used as antidepressants in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders and some personality disorders. These drugs are very common in television adverts for antidepressants such as Paxil (paroxetine) or Zoloft (sertraline) mention “certain sexual side effects.” The real point is that for some people, SSRI antidepressants can put their desire on hold and make it difficult for them to achieve orgasm. Recent findings have established that for every six women using SSRIs one will have fresh sexual problems. In another study reported in The American Family Physician it was established that up to one-half of patients taking SSRIs have reported sexual problems. Study results vary depending on the patients studied and the questions asked, but the final message is the same which is sexual side effects caused by SSRIs are common.

As I have already stated if SSRIs or any other kind of medication for that matter is affecting your sex life call and talk to doctor Akoury. As reported in the current Psychiatry Reports if you can get hold of it there are very many options to get you back on track and doctor Akoury will in your consultation with her help you regain your sex life upon evaluation and may advice on either Orgasm Shot® (O-Shot®) or Priapus Shot ® depending on your situation I recommend that you call this experienced doctor to not only regain your sex life but also to revive and add value to your fading relationship.

Medicines and Sex – Blood pressure medications

Are you suffering from high blood pressure and you are on medication? It must interest you to know that most drugs used in controlling high blood pressure like diuretics and beta blockers which are very common can affects ones sex life. These drugs can cause erectile dysfunction in men however when they are taken by women, they can diminish sexual desire. It is important to note that switching from one drug to another may not necessarily offer you a solution when it comes to high blood pressure’s medications. Doctor Akoury will help you determine the best medical solution for you based on your unique circumstances. For instance the following medications will work differently as follows:

Medicines and Sex – Opioid (narcotic) painkillers

Opioids such as morphine or Oxycontin (oxycodone) go beyond pain elimination. One of its side effects is that it is capable of reducing the production of testosterone and other hormones which are very essential in facilitating sexual drive desires in both men and women. The sexual side effects of opioids haven’t been thoroughly investigated; however preliminary studies paint a disappointing picture according to reported in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism where a study of 73 men and women receiving spinal infusions of opioids uncovered widespread sexual problems. 95% of the men and 68% of the women reported a drop in sex drive and all of the premenopausal women either developing irregular periods or stopped menstruating completely.

Medicines and Sex – Antihistamines

Several over the counters medications can affect your sex life negatively. A very good example is Antihistamines. A study established that these drugs can cause erectile dysfunction or ejaculation problems in men and as for women, antihistamines can cause vaginal dryness. This is only a partial list I have given but other drugs that can affect a person’s sex life include oral contraceptives, tricyclic antidepressants, antipsychotics, and cholesterol medications. I do not know what you are using but one thing I know is that medicine and sex is not a very good combination and I strongly recommend that what you’re using call or visit AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under Doctor Akoury’s care for proper evaluation and lasting solution that will restore your relationship and sexual pleasure for a very long time.

Sex Addiction and Substance Abuse

Sex Addiction and Substance Abuse – Chemical changes in the Brain

Sex Addiction and Substance Abuse when the two are put together there will be the danger of broken relationship and even unpleasant sex life.

The rate at which sex addiction is growing in our societies today is worrying and the moral fabric is under serious threat of decaying each passing hour. Today with the accessibility of internet nearly every ware the growing speed of sex addiction and other illicit activities is almost getting out of hand. Little controls is being put to safe guard this and many are falling victims of thanks to the advancement in technology. Because of internet accessibility in many different forms sex and porn addicts receives their drugs of choice in the comfort of their leaving rooms, kitchen and bathroom let alone in their bed rooms.

Sex Addiction and Substance Abuse – Sex Changes Brain Chemistry

There is no difference between drug addicts with sex addicts; both are dependent on the chemical changes in the brain which create a euphoric feeling. Having an orgasm facilitates a neurochemical change in the limbic system of the brain which is responsible for:

  • Emotions
  • Drives
  • Impulses
  • Desires
  • Decision making
  • Happiness
  • Survival

Dopamine is the primary neurochemical that triggers your reward circuitry which is normally released through various activities including sex, eating, taking risks and even drinking water. Once the reward activity is stopped, dopamine activates cravings for it. For instance dopamine will create the urge for taking chocolate cake because consuming chocolate cake activates natural opiods found in the brain producing “feel good” sensations. It is important to note that dopamine will not be satisfied and will continue to crave opiods. Nevertheless when it comes to sex, dopamine drives the desire for an orgasm even though it is opioids that are responsible for the production of the orgasm.

It is important knowing that all substances and any addictive activities will have great influence and increase dopamine levels unnaturally. Deregulation of dopamine levels happens through various activities such as:

  • Cocaine intake
  • Meeting extremely attractive casino hostesses or attendant
  • Searching through the porn links
  • Consumption of junk food filled with fat and sugar

The consistent indulgence in activities which can trigger dopamine together with the feelings that come along with it can cause an individual who is defendant or an addict to progressively engage in self-defeating activities. With this tolerance builds as a result of repetitive behavior and the addict needs to increase the rate of behavior to realize the desired euphoric effect. The cycle of addiction is prolonged by the physical and psychological cravings produced by the addiction.

Sex Addiction and Substance Abuse – Sexual Addiction

Ideally sex is a good thing meant for good pleasurable feelings, it is never addictive however when the chemical changes that takes place in the brain during sexual intercourse are highly addictive then the desire for this change in the brain chemistry is what drives an addict to do things that would ordinarily be considered out of character and unacceptable. Such unacceptable behaviors may include the following:

  • Unsafe and unwanted sex
  • Consistent use of pornography and any related porn literature
  • Use of prostitutes and/or escorts for sexual pleasures
  • Use of dating ads for sexual hookups
  • Sexualizing all conversations even when it is not necessary
  • Crossing sexual boundaries with coworkers, friends and acquaintances

It may not take you long to identify a sex addict in your midst, for instance one such indicator that will expose that an underlying sexual addiction may be present is when someone is willing to continue engaging in known risky behaviors that have negative consequences. To understand this better let us take this illustration of a husband who will lie to his wife in order to get a free moment to meet an escort for sex even if it is for just one hour and after the act, he feels tremendous shame, guilt and remorse about his behavior. Over time, the negative feelings decrease and he repeats the same act out again and again not because he wants to sleep with other women, but just to satisfy the dopamine cravings for excitement, risk and satisfaction of sexual urges. At this point the husband is not looking to have an affairs but he is simply seeking for sex. Therefore sex addicts are not looking to have a relationship with the individual they are acting out with but are often making impulsive decisions based on insatiable urges that are very similar to drug or alcohol cravings. The consequences of impulsive decisions related to sex addiction are far reaching and may include:

  • Loss of job
  • Loss of relationships
  • Contraction of sexually transmitted diseases
  • Sexual dysfunction.

In many occasions most sex addicts will also use drugs or alcohol to escape from uncomfortable feelings and the reality of dealing with the consequences of their addiction which further compounds the whole addiction problem.  It is at this moment that you will need to seek the help of a professional to help you recover from these multiples of addictions. At AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under Doctor Akoury’s care you will not only get to recover from drug addiction but doctor Akoury will also help you even with your sexual problems in the most natural way while focusing on Neuroendocrine Restoration (NER) to reinstate normality through realization of the oneness of Spirit, Mind, and Body, Unifying the threesome into ONE all you have to do is to call and begin the recovery journey right away.

Sex Addiction and Substance Abuse – Warning signs of sex and drug/alcohol addiction are:

  • When use of drugs, alcohol and sex increases over time
  • Behavior is self-destructive
  • Excessive use of drugs, alcohol and/or sex affects the person’s physical health
  • Addiction negatively effects relationships
  • Behavior causes harm to others
  • Drugs, alcohol and/or sex are used to alter moods
  • An individual is unable to be satisfied by the behavior
  • Attempts to stop or end the behavior are made but are not successful

In conclusion there is nothing good about being an addict of any substance, matters could be complicated if you have multiples of addiction like sex addiction and drug or alcohol addiction. This will for sure have an unfriendly impact on each other.  For instance if a sex addict will indulge in use drugs and alcohol to cope with underlying painful feelings related to their behaviors and on the other hand, an alcoholic or drug addict who is trying to quit using may turn to sex or masturbation as a way to elicit euphoric feelings without the use of addictive substances. These conditions are incompatible and it is very important that you call doctor Akoury right now to book an appointment with her. She will evaluate both your addiction conditions and help you overcome all these frustrating conditions using painless natural methods to bring you back to life in a very short time.

How Obesity Affects Your Skin

How Obesity Affects Your Skin – Prevention Tips

Obesity

Obesity has great influence on your skin negatively. Obese people may not reach some parts of their body when cleaning and this can lead to infections

Getting that good looking body size is not only essential for your general body health but also has great influence in the improvement of your appearance. The dangers of obesity are no secret as it causes health conditions like raising the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other life-threatening conditions. Besides these obesity also has a way of affecting your skin negatively, for poor diet will bring in trouble from the inside which eventually affects the skin on the surface. Excess consumption of sugar and fats creates an overproduction of sebum, or oil, in your skin, which can lead to breakouts. Keeping your skin clean but not overly clean and having a balanced diet with plenty of fiber and protein can help.

In an attempt of trying to eliminate obesity, you may want to ride on the weight-loss rollercoaster a decision which can cause another undesired skin conditions like stretch marks. They result when skin can’t keep up with the expansion of weight gain or the contraction of rapid weight loss. Many times, stretch marks can be reduced in appearance by lotions, scrubs and other products, but you can avoid them and other unattractive skin conditions by staying at a healthy weight and eating a balanced diet.

An obese person runs the risk of developing skin problems. The bigger a person is, the more skin he has, and this increases the chance of issues. Obesity is widely recognized as an epidemic. The prevalence has significantly increased among the US population over the past 30 years. Approximately 119 million Americans, nearly two thirds of adult Americans, are either overweight or obese. Recent research estimates that between one fourth and one third of American adults are obese, and one in six children and adolescents is overweight, however the impact of obesity on the skin has received minimal attention. Obesity is related to a number of effects on skin properties and how it functions, including the skin’s barrier function, sebaceous glands and sebum production, sweat glands, lymphatics, collagen structure and function, wound healing, microcirculation and macro-circulation, and subcutaneous fat. Insulin and certain growth factors altered in obesity and metabolic syndrome also influence on the skin physiology too. To make a more comprehensible classification, the skin problems can be:

How Obesity Affects Your Skin – Skin diseases directly caused by obesity

  • Acantosis nigricans – The most common manifestation of obesity characterized by a velvety dark colored skin especially on the armpits, groins, neck, elbows and knees.
  • Skin tags – Another very common manifestation characterized by tiny pedunculated warty, soft, brown growths most commonly seen on the neck, the axillae and groin.
  • Keratosis pilaris -“Goose bumps”, “spiny pimples” or “acne” lesions on the extensor parts of arms and thighs, also related to dry prone skin.
  • Hyperandrogenism – Increased production of male hormones by the excess fat which in turn produces acne, hidradenitis, male pattern baldness and/or increased hair growth especially in the face of women.
  • Stretch marks -They begin with a red phase before turning violet, then finally becoming white and depressed. They are the result of a very high tensionated skin.
  • Adipose dolorosa: Painful fat tumors more commonly in postmenopausal women.

Skin diseases aggravated but not directly caused by obesity

  • Lymphedema – The impedance of lymphatic flow which presents as initially soft, pitting edema most commonly beginning in the feet and spreading upwards.
  • Psoriasis – Red lesions with silver scale, most commonly located on the scalp, elbows, knees and back especially in patients with metabolic syndrome.
  • Chronic venous insufficiency – Due to increased intra-abdominal pressure found in obese patients causing an oppositional force to venous blood return from the lower extremities.
  • Plantar hyperkeratosis or calluses Most commonly as a horseshoe callous due to higher plantar pressures during walking and standing.
  • Infections – Fungal or bacterial due to increased occlusion, moisture, heat and/or macerated skin especially in the skinfolds of abdomen and breasts.
  • Hidradenitis suppurativa: Abscesses and scarring tracts due to inflammation in the armpits and groins.

Skin care is important in general; however, in an obese person it is of even more importance due to these factors:

How Obesity Affects Your Skin – Hygiene

Obese individuals may have problems with keeping high standard of hygiene occasioned by large skin circumference of skin to clean and difficulties in reaching certain parts of the body when bathing. The consistency of this habit may lead to bacteria growth and infection thereby causing injuries to the skin. Very extreme obese people may need assistance when bathing to avoid instances of such infections or bacterial growth.

How Obesity Affects Your Skin – Moisture
  • An overweight person has more problems than a smaller person with issues such as excess moisture and perspiration.
  • Moisture in body folds can cause bacteria and fungi to grow, and also sweat can become an irritant.
  • These can then cause skin rashes and infections like intertrigo.
  • To avoid this, an obese individual should keep the skin dry by using an anti-perspirant and even use it in his skin folds.
  • It is important for him to keep his groin area dry.
  • Urine on the skin from inadequate hygiene can cause a rash.
  • The individual with this issue may benefit from using a barrier cream.
  • In certain areas where the skin becomes too dry like the legs, a moisturizer is suggested and used as needed.
How Obesity Affects Your Skin – Friction

The folds of the skin sometimes run against themselves in overweight people. When this happens, the skin becomes irritated. This can cause blisters and chapping. Many individuals believe that powder can help with this, but powders actually have an abrasive effect. Rather, an obese person should use oil- or silicone-based products to minimize friction.

How Obesity Affects Your Skin – Skin Breaks

An obese person may develop breaks in the skin especially on very dry or hyperkeratosis skin. Anytime the skin has a wound, infection can occur. This risk is increased due to the circulation problems and possible diabetes of an overweight person. Such an individual needs to inspect the skin regularly and if needed with assistance by someone else. If there are any problems or concerns, consult your physician to aid in treatment.

From the discussion obviously there is a growing numbers of various skin conditions, therefore it is important that patients must work with experts like doctor Dalal Akoury who is also the founder of AWAREmed Health and Resource Center where people suffering from obesity and weight related conditions are treated in the most natural way by focusing on Neuroendocrine Restoration (NER) to reinstate normality through realization of the oneness of Spirit, Mind, and Body, Unifying the threesome into ONE.
