Regulation of Obesity and Weight Gain – Exercise Can Help Control Weight

Regulation of Obesity and Weight Gain is possible by full engagement in physical activities. All ages must take part for success

Being physically active is one of the most used ways of controlling weight gain and the prevalence of obesity globally. The consequences of obesity are so daring that when proper measures are not taken timely then managing the problems associated with weight gain and obesity may not just be costly but also painful health wise. Generally obesity results from energy imbalance that is to say very little calories being burned. The burning of calories may be influenced by a number of factors including the body size, age and gene however the most noticeable and can also be easily modified is the quantity or amount of physical activity people need to get on a daily basis.

Being physically active helps people to stay at a healthy weight gain or lose and significantly reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and certain cancers, as well as reduce stress and boost mood while living an inactive (sedentary) lifestyles do just the opposite. What is surprising is that even with this knowledge people are not keen in being physically active and this cuts across the globe. On a daily basis the levels of activities at work, homes are getting down because people are comfortable with things around them. It is estimated that about one in every three gets very little that is if any of the physical activity further increasing the level of decline. And it’s evident that this decline in physical activity is a major contributor to the global obesity epidemic, and in turn, the rising rates of chronic diseases everywhere. In this article I will be defining physical activity and explains how it is measured, reviews the trends, and discusses the role of physical activity in weight control in fighting obesity.

Definitions

The two terms associated with activities are often taken to have the same definition which is not really the case. I am talking about physical activities and exercise they are all used in reference of the same thing but have different meanings as follows:

Physical activity – refers to any body movement that burns calories, whether it’s for work or play, daily chores, or the daily commuting so long as some calories is burned as a result of that particular body movement.

Exercise -is a sub-category of physical activity referring to planned, structured, and repetitive activities aimed at improving physical fitness and health of an individual.

Moderate-intensity physical activity – these refers to those activities which are strenuous enough to burn three to six times as much energy per minute as an individual would burn when sitting quietly, or 3 to 6 METs. However Vigorous-intensity activities will burn more than 6 METs.

Measurement

Experts measure the intensity of physical activity in metabolic equivalents (METs). One MET is defined as the calories burned while an individual sits quietly for a minute. For the average adult, this is about one calorie per every 2.2 pounds of body weight per hour; someone who weighs 160 pounds would burn approximately 70 calories an hour while sitting or sleeping.

The quantity of Activities needed to Prevent Weight Gain

Because weight gain increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes and many other chronic conditions making effort to preventing it is very necessary because different studies have established that those who stay active reduces their degree of contacting chronic problems. Physical activities also helps keeping you younger and keeping your weight steady however the more sedentary the more likely you are to gain weight over time. But this is still a hypothesis and a matter of debate exactly how much activity people need to bring weight gain to control. The latest evidence suggests that the recommended two and a half hours a week may not be enough and so the search continues.

While studying a sample of women of middle-age to certain how much physical activity is needed to remain within 5 pounds of their weight at the beginning of the study it was established that women in the normal weight range at the start needed the equivalent of an hour a day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity to maintain a steady weight and that vigorous activities seem to be more effective for weight control than slow walking.

How Much Activity Do People Need to Lose Weight?

We have just talked about prevention what of how to lose if you are already experiencing weight problem? Good exercise and proper calorie diet helps in weight loss. In a study where all study volunteers were asked to stick to their usual diets it was established that after six months, those assigned to the high-intensity regimen lost abdominal fat, whereas those assigned to the low- and medium-intensity exercise regimens had no change in abdominal fat signifying that exercise is very effective in weight loss.

Activity Prevents Obesity

Experts believe that physical activity prevents obesity in multiple ways for example:

Physical activity increases people’s total energy disbursement, which can help them stay in energy balance or even lose weight, as long as they don’t eat more to pay off for the extra calories they burn.
Physical activity reduces fat around the waist and total body fat, slackening the development of abdominal obesity.
Weight lifting, push-ups, and other muscle-strengthening activities build muscle mass, aggregating the energy that the body burns throughout the day even when it’s at rest and making it easier to control weight.
Physical activity reduces depression and anxiety, and this mood boost may motivate people to stick with their exercise regimens over time.

Weight Control

Finally to achieve this purpose in your mind that staying active is not purely an individual choice. The built environment buildings, neighborhoods, transportation systems, and other man-made elements of the landscape influences how active people may be. We are more prone to be active, for example, if we live near parks or playgrounds, in neighborhoods with sidewalks or bike paths, or close enough to work, school, or shopping to safely travel by bike or on foot. People are less likely to be active if they live in sprawling suburbs designed for driving or in neighborhoods without recreation opportunities. But in all these whether your surrounding is favorable for exercise or not you may want to consult the experts to help you in your weight condition. Seeking the services of doctor Akoury of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center will be the best thing you can do for yourself because together with her team of experts, they will focus on Neuroendocrine Restoration (NER) to reinstate normality through realization of the oneness of Spirit, Mind, and Body, Unifying the threesome into ONE and your life will never be the same again.

Obesity Sitting in Offices

Obesity Sitting in Offices – Modern Office Comfort

Obesity sitting in offices. the kind of comfort we have in our offices are influences obesity in our lives most office chairs are not fit for good health.

Everyday around the world people are busy making efforts to be as comfortable as possible in all sectors of life. Both the old and the young, rich and poor, illiterate and literate virtually everyone you included. The only things not know to us in the rush for comfort is that we are using the same speed in acquiring health complications. Take a look around you beginning with your home, office, your car, your church hall, cinema halls name them what kind of seats are you using? This is what I am talking about. I will not object to the fact that these seats are indeed comfortable but are they comfortable to your health?

What you may not know is that these comfortable seats as you call them are a great threat to good health and are associated with the problem of weight gain and obesity meaning as we buy comfort we are at the same time paying for health problems related to weight gain and obesity. Have you ever wondered why our ancestors were very healthy and were living longer than we are today? There are several reasons but I will only talk about how they used to sit and what they were sitting on

Tracing the kind of life our ancestors lived in relation to today’s life style weight gain was never a problem and to be honest there was under weight. They were using firm wooden furniture without the arm’s length and back rest which is very uncomfortable for us today, what surprises me is that there was no weight related problem and less incidences of certain types of diseases that to an epidemical proportion affects the industrialized world today. Let us discuss further about these olden day’s seats.

Obesity Sitting in Offices – The traditional seats

The body needs to be active and because of the nature of life today most of the while collar jobs we do are done while sitting down of these modern seats. Studies have established that sitting for a long time as we do in our offices on the modern seats brings adverse musculoskeletal changes which causes excessive weight gain. In most societies in the developing world for example the kinds of furniture used consisted of very simple three legged seats without the back or arm rest. These industrious seats like the sofa, couch, armchair, rocking chair or even the chairs fitted with backrest were a luxury that could only be associated with a small population of the rich who could afford them. The point is that the majority of the world’s populations were using chairs with a wooden seat and wooden benches, and in the last few decades huge changes have happened.

Obesity Sitting in Offices – Upholstered furniture

Not so long ago, even in the industrialized world, the upholstered furniture was affordable only to rich people. Nowadays, due to the advancement in technology, production and economic prosperity, it is available to a great percentage of the world’s population because of the drastic reduction of their cost. The economic prosperity has come with great changes and diversification of how we live. We have replaced the traditional sitting furniture with modern ones consisting of chairs with an upholstered seat surface, like sofa, arm chair, couch, etc. if you were to interrogate technology of producing today’s upholstered sitting furniture is vastly different from the manufacturing technology that was used just a few decades ago. As a matter of fact not long ago all upholstered sitting furniture were made using spring systems. The expensive sitting furniture was made using eight-way hand-tied springs that offer a firmer seat and a sitting position. The less expensive sitting furniture was made using sinuous springs that offers a softer seat.

The current technology has tactfully eliminated the use of eight way hand tied spring and sinuous springs in a bid to cut on cost and has resorted in the cheap method of stuffing or padding with soft fuelling, mostly using polyurethane foam which are less costly. Even though a few furniture are still being made using springs these are very expensive and a preserved of the very rich leaving the majority with the upholstery of the cheap sitting furniture consists of high density polyurethane foams wrapped in fabrics that provides far softer seats compared with the sitting furniture that is made by using the spring system. The element of cost has drastically revolutionized the quality of seats in that it is less and less common for chairs to have a firm surface of the seat and most chairs have a soft upholstered seat.

This revolution has not only replaced the old sitting furniture with the less costly version of modern sitting furniture’s in households, but also in public places like schools, universities, restaurants etc. chairs with a firm seat surface are replaced with the less costly version of sitting furniture that have a soft upholstered seat. This has really increased the current generation vulnerability to weight gain and obesity and all other complications associated with the two.

Obesity Sitting in Offices – Overweight and Obesity

Funnily enough the changes that have taken place in the life style and food is not too much in relation to the ones that took place in the sitting furniture revolution. Let us get a bit of insight of this aspect even as we try to understand the implications of weight gain and obesity in the whole process. Just not long ago (a few decades) the greater population of people suffering from overweight and obesity came from the bracket of the rich and wealthy people while it is the rich who could afford the upholstered sitting furniture. Nonetheless obesity was rare and morbid obesity was inexistent the reason for this being, the seats of the upholstered sitting furniture were far less soft compared to today’s cheap version of upholstered sitting furniture. What a contrast that:

Today the expensive upholstered furniture is made by using the same technology that was used a few decades ago.
Today the prevalence of obesity among the poor population is not much different than what was the case a few decades ago.
The primary reasons for that is that they still use sitting furniture that is manufactured using the same system that was used a few decades ago.

Things have really changed and today in the developed world the most obese and particularly morbidly obese people are mostly found among the less affluent population. The primary reason for that is because they mostly use the less costly modern sitting furniture. During the time when sitting furniture was made mainly from wood without upholstering and mostly without back support, at the same time among the poor and the middle class population, obesity was unknown. During those times, the problem among the less poor population was mostly being underweight and not overweight, and severe obesity or morbid obesity was extremely rare.

In the developed world, modern less costly sitting furniture is the main factor that has caused the less poor population to be affected with overweightness and obesity to a far greater extent than the rich population. Modern upholstered sitting furniture, particularly cheap versions that includes upholstered chair, armchair, sofa and couch are the main contributing factors for the increased prevalence of overweight and obesity throughout the world.

Finally dear reader modernity has brought with it a lot of good and bad in almost equal measure and we are privileged to be leaving in this modern world. I want to advice you not to be confused with what is happening around you. Take time and consult the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under Doctor Akoury’s care. At this facility you will get all that you need concerning weight gain and obesity and be able to live a life full of hope and comfort I am talking of healthy comfort. And if you are obese doctor Akoury together with her team of experts will help you get better while focusing on Neuroendocrine Restoration (NER) to reinstate normality through realization of the oneness of Spirit, Mind, and Body, Unifying the threesome into ONE.

Effects of Sugar on Obese People

July 28, 2014

Effects of Sugar on Obese People – The White Addictive Poison

Effects of sugar on obese people start from a very humble beginning. Be mindful of sugar it is a health poison

A part from those committing suicide no one would want to poison themselves for fear of the consequences and love of life. But did you know that on a daily basis you are willingly adding poison in your body system? This sounds strange to your ears but it is the truth. I am talking about the sweet things and food staff you love and a day cannot go without having a bit. It may sound unbelievable to you that the normal sugar you add to your coffee, tea or milk is more addictive than cocaine, in fact it is not just addictive but it is eight time more addictive. How would you feel if you are told that researchers and medical professionals the world over are now saying that if they knew the effects and destruction that this substance has on people they would have banned it and placed it on the same list as cocaine. This substance is the cause of a pandemic of health issues, diabetes, obesity, disease and death. And what if you are told that you and your children are probably already addicts?

It is not my intention to scare you this drug is consumable and in fact, it’s not only legal to push, pedal, distribute and sell, it is also commercially promoted and advertised openly as one of the world’s most traded commodities. It is one of America’s top exported products of mass destruction alongside with weapons of war, alcohol, tobacco and entertainment. It is omnipresent in almost every food type and major American food brand. This addictive drug is one of the world’s most valuable agricultural commodities and is traded in the world market in the tune of billions of dollars by more than 123 countries. The secret of its deadliness is out in most developed countries and its use however has increased in spite of this knowledge and has more than doubled in developing countries. So what is this addictive, omnipresent, legal drug of choice? You have probably guessed it by now its C12H22O11 and I am almost sure that you are a user on some level of sugar.

Effects of Sugar on Obese People – The Sugar you Love

Research has established that almost everything, delicious and very addictive stuff, called sugar or sucrose or fructose or many other names it now goes by to hide its presence. Ever since laws have been implemented to specifically state the amount of sugar in their products, manufacturers have been using various other names to hide the actual amount of sugar contained in them. For instance look out for these sly labels – barley malt, beet sugar, brown sugar, buttered syrup, caramel, corn syrup, confectioners’ sugar, carob syrup, caster name them, whatever their new nouns may be the all have a common denominator and that is sugar.

Effects of Sugar on Obese People – Yes we need Sugar But

Yes we do need sugar (glucose) and our bodies cannot function without it. We can however get our required amount from healthy fruits and foods and we need not add the extra 4kg of refined sugar every month, over and above what we require. It is important to note that sugar is found in most of our food but the adding of extra sugar and the creation of sugary products has grown exponentially. Researchers tell us that the most efficient way to deliver a sugar fix is via the soft drink industry. Apart from the effects on your health, a sugar researcher tells us that drinking one sugary soft drink a day will increase your weight by 6kg per year. A bottle of Coke a day will increase your weight by 11kg per year. And don’t get me started on sugar substitutes and “diet” cold drinks. According to medical professionals they are nothing more than poisons. Medically most, if not all sugar substitutes are referred to as neurotoxins.

Effects of Sugar on Obese People – Benefit of Behavior Change

So it will be important that you make a decision to limit your consumption of sugar and realize the benefits. For instance listen to this confession my mother became a diabetic (no surprise) she then stopped eating sugar and lost about 20kg in 6 months with no much physical activities and no change at all in her diet. After several hardest days (40) of my life I lost 5kg and now on day 71, am down 8kg. I have to add that I have been weight training and not eating bread.

I never started my sugar stoppage for weight loss. I really did it because I got to a stage when my health started to suffer and I was out of control. I needed an intervention and the opportunity to kick my own ass. My waist had gotten so big I was asked to participate in a commercial audition for an organization and believe it I was literally struggling to tie my shoelaces in the morning without a respirator. I was on thyroid medication and Nexium for gastro oesophageal reflux, I fought hard to sleep, I had no energy and by 3 o’clock in the afternoon wanted to take a nap, I always got colds and flu, I got muscle cramps and injuries and I felt all round crappy.

Today because a decision to change my behaviors I feel 100% healthier, I have stopped all of my medications, I sleep well, have more energy than ever before and I have lost 8 kg in fat. Not bad for just stopping and looking out for sugar. The most important and significant change is the fact that I have taken back control of my life from my drug of choice, beautiful, deadly, Florida icing – sugar.

Effects of Sugar on Obese People – Relapse

Unfortunately I have found that one of the only ways to beat an addiction is to be placed in situations of temptation again and again and having to say no. Every time you are tempted and you say no, you take back the power. You take the power away from the addiction one temptation at a time. You will find, like I did, that the universe will, with love and kindness, put you into situations of mass temptation the exact day and week you decide to take back your power. It is perfectly designed because you cannot take back your power unless you are tempted. Taking yourself out of a situation does not allow you to exercise personal control. It’s the hardest most satisfying ride you will ever take. I challenge you to be and obtain your superpower of self-control and you will have the best of your like I did.

What is your feeling of that confession? As you reflect about it, you will not find it to be smooth all the way and so you will need to seek for help from the experts like talking to Dr. Akoury of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center will help you achieve optimal weight loss if sugar brings obesity to your life. At this facility we focus on Neuroendocrine Restoration (NER) to reinstate normality through realization of the oneness of Spirit, Mind, and Body, Unifying the threesome into ONE.

Facing the reality of obesity and weight gain is the starting point. Fighting obesity and weight depend on what you feed on.

If you are gaining weight rapidly it may interest you to take a moment and face the realities of changes happening on your body. The sooner you do this the better for you and everyone as well otherwise you could be sacrificing the precious years of your life. You need to stop pretending and begin to take corrective measures to control your feeding habits.

To help you make this worthy step take a keen look you yourself in the mirror and see if what you see is what you want for yourself. If what you see is not impressing then I am addressing you and your weight condition directly. It will take great commitment and skill development to avoid ever looking into a mirror and by hiding from reality, you will be accommodating fat and unhappiness, you will be tired, miserable and lonely it is these feelings that will influence your willpower to saying good bay to your weight condition.

Facing the Reality of Obesity – Defined By Circumstance

Did you know that your life might be defined by your weight condition? Take for example before your mates and the people around you, you could be that fat person always standing out and very different and your weight could be used to make easy identification of you. In a bid of trying remaining comfortable, you may pretend that there is no problem but the reality is it’s right there plain as day. Take note, being a child may be hard enough, but being the overweight child is next to impossible.

As a child you could be able to trace your history with weight gain say from your fifth grade you probably decided to stop wearing shorts because your legs were bigger than everyone else’s. In seventh grade, you developed stretch marks on upper arms and your friends would enquire to know from you what those marks were, and you would have to come up with new ways to rebound the question. By high school, you deliberately stopped wearing short sleeve shirts. And at a time when most girls are noticing boys and starting to date, you were now feeling even more disconnected from your friends. They were receiving attention, and considering being in serious relationships. All you could do is to keep distance.

If you were feeling this way in the lower levels of education how about the experience at College level? Was it a nightmare? Every new class brought with it the horror of having to select a seat you wouldn’t fit in. When you began pressing on your professional career, every job interview became a scavenger hunt for acceptance. You probably walked into meetings with your mind divided as to whether the organization will be comfortable with fat people further demoralizing your willpower. Probably shortly after teenage you adopted life of avoiding change, ensuring that you’re not being noticed, and continuing to accumulate more weight. Despite the efforts you are putting the hard work, food and sleep still nothing close to resembling a life is seen. It turns out the longer you try to blend into the shadows and go unnoticed, the more comfortable they become. Then one day you come to find yourself alone in the dark with no chance of escape spending a few years struggling to address your weight issues. You were committed to learning about habit changes, life, work balance, and other such lifestyle improvements. Things got fairly better, but still you knew deep down in your heart that you weren’t addressing the real issue and so you had to step into the light if were was going to save yourself from the real problem. Therefore you mad a personal revolution.

Facing the Reality of Obesity – Personal Revolution

After long struggle one moment came in your life and you began the journey of recovery. On your own you got out and just started taking life each day at a time. Instead of thinking about all the “good” things you are letting go you made it an adventure to discover new and exciting food that was actually good. Getting back into the kitchen after far too long away and preparing a meal for yourself and committing to respect your body each day by giving it exactly what it needed to be at its best. By now you are learning about creating balanced meals, left behind the junk you used to know and because you did not intend to flop you decided that in case you craved for something say ice cream, you would just have it to keep up the commitment and only selecting an all-natural ice cream, checking the ingredients list instead of relying on the packaging to make sure.

Every passing day, you were making a renewed commitment to the cause. You used to feel like crap after meals from a mixture of overeating and choice of food. As an added bonus you have also discovered a lot about the power of commitment and intention. It turns out when you’re fully engage in change it isn’t as scary as you thought it would be.

Facing the Reality of Obesity – Great Motivation

By now you are feeling like on top of your weight problem and I agree with you because the most important thing you ever did for yourself was standing up, and deciding that things would be better and for sure they are you’ve just lost some 80 pounds because you made a choice. You are now creating the life you have always wanted because you made a choice. Desire choosing to be fearless every day in life because you want the adventure not the shadows.

Facing the Reality of Obesity – When You’re Ready

I think you need the moment. That single second when everything shifts, and you see yourself with renewed clarity. It is different for everyone, but it is the game changer. In the beginning you tried and failed a lot of diets along the way. But this time you’re sure of succeeding before you even started. Why the motivation? It’s because you were not eating frozen food out of a package, or taking a magic pill, or drinking food through a straw. You were not trying to trick, or deny yourself anything. You only made good choices that are repeatable, sustainable and are going to be with you for the rest of your days.

Your moment wasn’t about losing weight, it was making a commitment to create the life you wanted to live by supporting that commitment every day through good food, positive change, and facing the mindsets that were holding you back. You stepped out of the shadows, and you let the light shine on you for the first time. You now have gained so much from this experience that it has inspired you to help others achieve this for themselves. If this is your moment, and you are ready to create the life you have always imagined for yourself, take some time to sign up for AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under Doctor Akoury’s care where focus is on Neuroendocrine Restoration (NER) to reinstate normality through realization of the oneness of Spirit, Mind, and Body, Unifying the threesome into ONE.

Sleep and Weight Gain

July 26, 2014

Sleep and Weight Gain – What you should do

Sleep and Weight Gain. Studies have indicated that sleep deprivation is related to weight gain. Sleep well and keep fit.

Could lack of sleep be causing you to gain weight? Do you have any idea how this is happening? Confusing indeed but in a moment I will be telling you how sleep is associated with weight gain and from the information you are just a bout to get you will be able to tell whether your weight problem is related you your sleeping patterns on not and depending on your findings you will make very informed decision going forward. Now let me ask you as we start the discussion how often do you sleep or dose at your workplace? Ponder about that for a while and if your answer is yes then what are you doing about it?

In order to fight that sleep a way probably you may have reached out for a cup of coffee or more and some doughnuts for an immediate shot of energy and before you know it you have just forgot your day’s schedule of exercising and on your way home you pick some junk food home for dinner because time for home cooking is not there. When all these are finally done you are back in bed too wound up to sleep. This then becomes consistent and ultimately the consistency of inadequacy of sleep sabotages your waistline and your health. Wait a minute you’re facing the challenges of weight gain. My dear reader it normally starts in unnoticeable ways like that. With the problem of sleep deprivation and low energy, you will repeatedly go for a portion of potato chips or other comfort foods.

The ultimate result

Unwanted pounds due to poor food choices together with lack of exercise set the stage for obesity and further sleep loss. To illustrate this further the debt of sleep is the replica of credit card debt where all accruing credit card debt you will settle with high interest rates and if you don’t, your account will be shut down until you pay it all off. Therefore accruing too much sleep debt only leads your body crash. You must ensure that you do not brag about your strength of staying up all night because it is not in fact it is a weakness because you do pay a price for staying up late and getting up early.

Understanding the Sleep-Diet Connection

Hardly will you find sleep-diet connection being addressed by most diet authors and probably you have even heard about the sleep diet, which suggests you can lose weight while you catch your ZZZs. Have you? It’s worth noting that not so much that if you sleep, you will lose weight however when you are sleep-deprived (i.e. meaning that you are not getting enough time of sleep or good quality sleep), your metabolism will not function properly. On average people need about 7.5 hours of quality sleep per night and if you are getting this already, a slight increase of say half hour will not help you lose 10 pounds, but on the other hand if you are used to sleeping for say five-hour and you increase this to seven hours a night, you will start shading off some weight.

How specifically will lack of sleep affects one’s ability to lose weight will have a lot to do with our nightly hormones. We have two hormones which are very instrumental in this process and they are ghrelin and leptin.

Ghrelin is the ‘go’ hormone that tells you when to eat, and when you are sleep-deprived, you have more ghrelin.

Leptin is the hormone that tells you to stop eating, and when you are sleep deprived, you have less leptin.

More ghrelin plus less leptin equals weight gain i.e. you are eating more, plus your metabolism is slower when you are sleep-deprived.

The Sleep-Weight Loss Solution

The big question here is, what can you do about sleep deprivation?

First, look at how much you sleep vs. how well you sleep – Some people such as new mothers may only get to sleep for a four-hour stretch. And there are some people who get 7.5 hours of sleep that is poor quality because of pain or an underlying sleep disorder, and this has the same effect as if they got less sleep.

Trouble-shoot both with improved sleep hygiene and for beginners avoid any caffeine in the afternoon because it will keep you in the lighter stages of sleep which are associated with poor sleep at night.

Exercise also helps improve sleep quality. How soon before bed should you exercise? It depends with the individuals because everyone is different. It’s more important that you exercise than it is when you exercise and to be safe avoid exercise right before going to bed even though some people exercise better before bed and it doesn’t affect their sleep.

Take interest on what you’re feeding on before bed time like for instance foods and drinks like pizza and beer before bedtime is not a good idea. It is also not recommended that you eat a big meal moments to bedtime instead eating a few healthy snacks and then having a light meal like a bowl of cereal if you’re running close to bedtime. Heavy, rich meals before bed can also increase risk of heartburn, which will certainly keep you up all night.

Finally I ask what if you are getting enough hours of sleep but wake up and feel sleepy the next day? Talk to your doctor about seeing a sleep specialist. After conducting a thorough evaluation and sleep study, in which you are monitored while sleeping, the sleep specialist can help identify any underlying problem. Together you can develop a treatment plan so that you get more high-quality sleep and maybe even slim down. But generally in all these doctor Dalal Akoury of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center will be there for you for any obesity and weight related problems you may have. Together with her team of experts they will focus on Neuroendocrine Restoration (NER) to reinstate normality through realization of the oneness of Spirit, Mind, and Body, Unifying the threesome into ONE.
