The economic benefits of losing excess weight: Waist, Fat Wallet

You may have read books written by great authors on how to lose weight without having to work out or promotional materials that give you the starting point in losing weight, these may be useful to some extent but the problem is that they are tailored to make you spend and in most cases spend big.

Overweight people tend to suffer much from knee pains due to the extra pressure posed by the extra weight. This will be eliminated when the healthy weight levels is achieved

With the extra diseases that comes with obesity and overweight, your immune system is likely to deteriorate making you vulnerable to several attacks and thereby spending heavily on medications like acid reflux, diabetes, high blood pressure, or elevated cholesterol. With a healthy weight, this will not be so because the cause shall have been prevented, remember the common medical phrase that prevention is better than cure.

What come into your mind when you read such information? The authors of those adverts are in the business to sell and make money from. Their primary goal is to maximize on their profit and your financial situation doesn’t matter so long as you are buying. With that insight doctor Akoury ask does lasting weight loss solutions really have to cost that much financially? It may be true that some of these adverts may promote a jump start, and trainers can certainly get you moving, there are ways we can use to spend reasonably and still get the desired result. The following are some of the practices you may want to consider doing:

The economic benefits of losing excess weight: Consume half or better still less

We all need to eat to keep fueling the body to operate normally. However we must be keen on what we feed on and to what quantity. Doctor Akoury has in several forums stated that it is not about the quantity but the quality. The body needs more of the nutrients for good health. Therefore if you are a costumed to a full plate of beef, you may want to consider reducing it to half progressively until your body is comfortable with the new portion. When this is achieved you shall have not only succeeded in reducing the weight but also made some savings on the cost of your food budget. In simple understanding if you were spending $100 on food and you have reduced the quantity by half, you will have a savings of $50.

Effects of alcohol and obesity in young women

Effects of alcohol and obesity in young women: Women are drinking at risky levels

Effects of alcohol and obesity in young women

Effects of alcohol and obesity in young women is a growing health concern to many health professionals. The kind of food we eat is not helping the situation and this should be the starting point.

The vulnerability of women to the effects of alcohol and obesity is something we cannot burry our heads on and pretend that nothing is happening. Research has it that women are the weaker parties when it comes to the outcome of the health conditions that are associated with alcohol abuse and obesity, According to the most recent National Drug Strategy Household Survey (2010), 29.8% of women over the age of 14 years, had consumed alcohol at risky levels (defined more than 4 standard drinks in one sitting) at least once in the previous year. This finding therefore introduces our topic of discussion which is the effects of alcohol and obesity in young women and generally the female gender. According to the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury the female gender is less advantage when it comes to substance abuse and weight related concerns. This fact has been confirmed by various studies including the one we have just mentioned above. Now let us look at specific risks women will be involved in when they consume alcohol beyond the limit.

Effects of alcohol and obesity in young women: Women have specific risks when consuming alcohol

The very first thing is that women tend to weigh less than men and have inadequate water in their bodies to dilute the alcohol consumed. This therefore, exposes a woman’s internal organs to more alcohol and to more of the toxic byproducts that result when the body breaks down alcohol. That’s explains why under normal circumstances women generally reach intoxication quicker, and may become addicted to the abuse much sooner, and thereby may develop alcohol-related problems more quickly as compared to men with similar drinking patterns. In view of this women are more likely than men to be affected by health problems including:

Effects of alcohol and obesity in young women: Safety risks

Doctor Akoury sounds the warning that it is very important for women to note that heavy drinking increases their risk of becoming victims of violence and sexual assault, including rape. This can be attributed to environmental factors (heavy drinking tends to occur in contexts where there are other people who are also drinking heavily); cognitive impairments (through alcohol reducing a person’s ability to evaluate risks effectively); and, motor impairments (through alcohol reducing a person’s physical ability to resist attack effectively).

Effects of alcohol and obesity in young women: Risks while pregnant or breastfeeding

 

Drinking alcohol while pregnant can negatively impact on the baby’s developing brain and motor skills development and lead to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum. Disorders which are lifelong disabilities and women should take this seriously. At the moment there is no known safe level of alcohol consumption during pregnancy and breastfeeding what we have are just some recommended guidelines which may not be scientifically authenticated:

  • For women who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy avoiding drinking completely is considered the safest option.
  • In the same way for women who are breastfeeding, avoiding drinking is the safest option.
Effects of alcohol and obesity in young women: Alcohol consumption may also contribute to overweight and obesity

Alcohol adds calories to your diet. Alcohol has no nutrients yet has a high energy value, second only to fat which is the most energy-dense macronutrient. It is also a common occurrence that alcohol tends to increase appetite and encourage poor eating habits adding yet more empty calories into your diet. According to research there is a link between alcohol consumption and weight gain. Associations between the two are heavily influenced by a number of factors including: patterns and levels of drinking, gender, body weight, diet and genes, although the exact nature of these interactions are yet to be fully understood says doctor Akoury. With this information the question that all of us would want answered should be what is known about this situation?

Amount matters – Heavy drinkers (described in various studies as anywhere between two and four alcoholic drinks per day) are at higher risk of obesity than moderate drinkers.

Patterns of drinking matter – Heavy, but less frequent drinkers (binge drinkers) seem to be at higher risk of obesity than moderate but frequent drinkers.

Low carb does not equal healthier

‘Low carb’ beers and wines are becoming more widely available in the market and it may be tempting to switch to these varieties in order to reduce your caloric intake. You need to be aware, however, that while these low carb drinks are lower in carbohydrate than regular varieties, the alcohol and kilojoule content is often very similar to other types of beer and wine.

Effects of alcohol and obesity in young women: Things to consider if you choose to drink alcohol

Even though it may not be advisable to take alcohol, but if you choose to drink it is very important that you take note of the following:

  • Healthy adults should drink no more than two standard drinks on any day to reduce the lifetime risk of harm from alcohol-related disease or injury. The lifetime risk of death from alcohol-related disease more than triples when consumption increases from two to three standard drinks a day.
  • For any one occasion of drinking (an occasion being defined as a period of time at which the blood alcohol level does not return to zero), no more than four standard drinks should be consumed in order to reduce the risk of incurring alcohol-related injury from that occasion. Bear in mind that each drinking occasion also contributes to the lifetime risk of alcohol-related health problems.
  • Alcohol is a significant contributor to your daily kilojoule intake. The recommended daily kilojoule intake varies for individuals and depends on a number of factors such as gender, weight and your usual amount of physical activity. On average, a man requires 10,500kJ (2,500 calories) daily and a woman requires 8,400kJ (2,000 calories) daily to maintain their weight.
  • When drinking alcohol, take care that you are not robbing yourself of other essential nutrients. One very important nutrient that is often ‘replaced’ by alcohol is water. Even though alcohol is a liquid, it is also a strong diuretic and can increase fluid loss from the body therefore it is recommendable that as an adult you take at least eight glasses of water daily.

Finally dealing with the effects of alcohol and obesity in young women is not to be done in isolation. Like any other condition, the involvement to the experts is very important. And like I had said before, you can schedule for an appointment with doctor Akoury today for the commencement of your recovery treatment process.

The dangers of Excess Weight on Your Health

The dangers of Excess Weight on Your Health: Weight, heart disease, and stroke

The dangers of Excess Weight on Your Health

The dangers of Excess Weight on Your Health. Be very mindful of what you eat they may be the highway to chronic health complications

While addressing the topic of effects of excess weight on your health in the previous article, we mention depression as one of the know effect or consequence that come with excess weight and in this section we want to further on that discussion by looking at more effects and the dangers of excess weight on your health. It is true that most common problems seen in people who carry excess weight, such as high blood pressure and unhealthy levels of cholesterol and other fats in the blood, tend to occur together. Both can lead to concurrent health problems namely, heart disease and stroke.

Doctor Dalal Akoury says that high blood pressure is estimated to be about six times more common in people who are obese than in those who are lean. This has also been confirmed by various institutions and according to the American Heart Association, an individual with about 22 pounds in excess of weight will boosts systolic blood pressure which is the first number in a reading by an average of 3 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and diastolic blood pressure representing the second number by an average of 2.3 mm Hg, which translates to about 24% increase in stroke risk. And further still and according to another study conducted in 2007 in archives of internal medicine, they examined the connection between weight and heart disease by assembling results from an evaluation of some 21 different studies involving more than 300,000 people. The findings established that being overweight boosted the risk of heart disease by some 32% while obesity increased by 81%

One very important point to take home here according to the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center is that even though the adverse effects of overweight on blood pressure and cholesterol levels could account for 45% of the increased heart disease risk, the society should know that losing weight is very effective in correcting this condition. And as a matter of fact even modest amounts of excess weight can increase the odds of heart disease independent of those well-known risks. It therefore means that losing weight even just a minimal weight loss will have a great impact on your health.

The dangers of Excess Weight on Your Health: Weight and diabetes

Overweight and obesity are so closely linked to diabetes to the point that experts have today introduced an adjective or a noun whichever way you look at it to the term “diabesity” to describe the phenomenon. About 90% of people with type 2 diabetes which is the most common form of the disease are either overweight or obese. The incidence of diabetes rose dramatically by nearly 65% in just one decade (from 1996 to 2006).

A high blood sugar level, the hallmark of diabetes, is one of the features of metabolic syndrome. If untreated or poorly controlled, diabetes can lead to a number of grave health problems, including kidney failure, blindness, and foot or leg amputations. Diabetes is currently the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. This is not something you want to gamble with. Your life and that of your family are the most valuable assets that you can spend on to the last dollar. We do not want you to spend all your life savings in settling medical bills. That is why doctor Dalal Akoury founded this health facility (AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center) to help you get better at very minimal cost. Talk to us if you are struggling with any weight related health conditions and we will fix that problem for you very professionally and with a lot of confidence. You may schedule for that appointment today with doctor Akoury for commencement of treatment.

The dangers of Excess Weight on Your Health: Do you have metabolic syndrome?

Metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that occur together, also increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. One of the key features is abdominal obesity. If you have that problem, you’re more likely to have the other characteristics. If you have any of the three or more of these traits, then chances are that you are having or developing a metabolic syndrome:

  • Big waist – A waist circumference more than 35 inches in women or 40 inches in men.
  • High triglycerides – A fasting blood triglyceride level of 150 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) or higher.
  • Low HDL – A HDL (“good”) cholesterol of less than 40 mg/dL in men or less than 50 mg/dL in women.
  • High blood pressure – A systolic blood pressure (the top number of a reading) of 130 mm Hg or higher, or diastolic (the lower number) of 85 mm Hg or higher.
  • High blood sugar – A fasting blood sugar level of 100 mg/dL or higher.

The dangers of Excess Weight on Your Health: Weight and cancer

Some experts believe that obesity ranks as the second leading cause of cancer death, after cigarette smoking. According to a study by the American Cancer Society published in The New England Journal of Medicine followed more than 900,000 people for 16 years. From this study it was established that there is a significant link between excess body weight and many different cancers. Some of the findings included the following:

  • Among people ages 50 and older, overweight and obesity may account for 14% of all cancer deaths in men and 20% of all cancer deaths in women.
  • In both men and women, higher BMIs were associated with a higher risk of dying from cancer of the esophagus, colon and rectum, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, or kidney.
  • In men, excess weight also increased the risk of dying from stomach or prostate cancer.
  • In women, deaths from cancer of the breast, uterus, cervix, or ovary were elevated in women with higher BMIs.

We all have a duty to bring to manageable levels this problem of obesity, overweight and all that which is associated with them. The formation of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center is on but one way of going about this issue. A lot more can be done and it all begins with you and me. Time has come when we need to forgo some of the comforts we have for the sake of our health. Take for example the use of elevators instead of taking the stair case, it is something we can do and the result will be very positive on our health. We will be discussing more as we progress with the discussion, but in the mean time I can only advice you to talk to the experts by scheduling for an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury today tor real time treatment.

Effects of Excess Weight on Your Health

Effects of Excess Weight on Your Health: The health Complications associated with Obesity

Effects of Excess Weight on Your Health

Effects of Excess Weight on Your Health are realistically dangerous, you can help reduce these by feeding well and healthily.

It is no secret that any human being must live within some reasonable quantity of body weight. The term reasonable is very important to us in this discussion, because we are going to be for casing on the effects of excess weight on your health. When the body weight exceeds or is under what is considered to be normal then there is a problem. This is what doctor Dalal Akoury and her team of experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center are going to help us come to terms with. But just before we get into the discussion, doctor Akoury is one of the most proactive professionals in medicine and has been in practice now for more than two decades making her to be one of the most experienced in her area of specialization. Seen how the prevalence of obesity and overweight was eating into the societies wellbeing, she made a very bold decision of forming this health facility to contribute in the national and international fight against obesity and overweight. This makes her to be very qualified to attend to both your individual and group weight related complications. Therefore as we progress into the discussion, you can schedule for an appointment with her at any time of the day and she will be of great help to you and your loved ones.

And now back to the discussion, doctor Akoury says that if you are harboring some extra pounds, you stand a greater risk of contracting some health problems. These health conditions can be very chronic depending on the intensity of your weight levels. Some of the health conditions we are referring to may include the nation’s leading causes of death like various kinds of heart diseases, cancer diseases stroke and diabetes. Besides these there are also some less common ailment like the gout and gallstone. The presences of these health conditions will certainly make you understand the effects of excess weight on your health. And even as you come to terms with that, one may choose to look at the health complications in a different dimension, like the very strong link between overweight and depression. Doctor Akoury explains that this will cause mood disorder which can translate to a profound negative impact on an individual’s daily life.

According the findings of a Harvard study that combined data from more than 50,000 men (participants in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study) and more than 120,000 women (from the Nurses’ Health Study) revealed some sobering statistics about weight and health. During the study the participants provided their height and weight alongside the details of their diet, daily routines and medical histories. Using these facts the experts followed very closely the participating volunteers for a whole decade. The findings showed that there were some occurrences of illnesses and compared those developments with each subject’s body mass index (BMI)—an estimate of an individual’s relative body fat calculated from his or her height and weight. The findings then revealed that obesity increased the risk of diabetes 20 times and substantially boosted the risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and gallstones. Among people who were overweight or obese, there was a direct relationship between BMI and risk: from the study it was then concluded that the higher the BMI, the higher the likelihood of disease.

Effects of Excess Weight on Your Health: Weight and depression

A few weeks ago a client asked me a very important question which I want to share with you so that we can get some medical tips out of it. The question was under normal circumstances do people gain weight because they’re depressed, or do they become depressed because they’re overweight? This is not very clear however looking at the review of some 15 studies done previously, it was established that both scenarios bears some degree of truth. In fact according to findings of the study, published in 2010 in the Archives of General Psychiatry, it was established that obese people have about 55% higher risk of developing depression over time compared with people of normal weight. Doctor Akoury shares with us some of the possible reasons why obesity may increase risk of depression:

  • Both conditions that is obesity and depression demonstrate a stem (at least in part) from alterations in brain chemistry and function in response to stress.
  • Psychological factors are also plausible. In our culture, thin equals beautiful, and being overweight can lower self-esteem, a known trigger for depression.
  • Odd eating patterns and eating disorders, as well as the physical discomfort of being obese, are known to foster depression.

Besides that, the studies also found that majority of all depressed people have an estimation of about 58% risk of becoming obese. The following are some of the reasons why it is believed that depression is closely associated with obesity:

  • Elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol (common in people with depression) may alter substances in fat cells that make fat accumulation, especially in the belly, more likely, according to one theory.
  • People who feel depressed often feel too blue to eat properly and exercise regularly, making them more prone to gain weight.
  • Some medications used to treat depression cause weight gain.

Finally the effects of excess weight on your health is not something you can take lightly, and as a matter of fact, being overweight is very dangerous just as has been mentioned before. It would have been better if preventive measures are taken to keep us free from all the health complications that come with being obese or overweight. Nonetheless doctor Dalal Akoury establishment (AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center) is one such facility where you can get all the professional help you needs to be free from the dangers of obesity. Therefore if you or any one you know is struggling with weight related problems, then this is your opportunity to help and be counted as an ambassador of change.

Facts about relationship between obesity and cancer

Facts about relationship between obesity and cancer: Obesity and Cancer Risk

Facts about relationship between obesity and cancer

Facts about relationship between obesity and cancer. This relationship has no good to offer to human health and must be prevented by all means

The common understanding of obesity is a condition where an individual person or persons has an abnormal high and unhealthy proportion of body fat. The measurement of obesity is often done using the BMI scale. This is believed to provide a more reliable and accurate measure of obesity or overweight as oppose to the use of weight alone. Now of what interest do we have in the ascertainment of peoples’ weight? This is because the prevalence of obesity and overweight is growing into a catastrophic situation and people’s health is at risk. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is giving an estimation of about 68% in US alone as the adult population age 20 and above to be struggling with either obesity or overweight. With this impact and the complications that come with being obese or overweight, it has become necessary that both the professionals and the laymen take a position in fighting the scourge. To this effect, we want to discuss some of the facts about relationship between obesity and cancer with a view of creating awareness to the society to be on the look out of the consequences that are attached to these two conditions.

Facts about relationship between obesity and cancer: Obesity and Cancer

Experts have established that obesity is closely associated with increased risks of various types of cancer including the following among many others:

  • Esophagus
  • Pancreas
  • Colon and rectum
  • Breast (after menopause)
  • Endometrium (lining of the uterus)
  • Kidney
  • Thyroid
  • Gallbladder

According to of the studies done using NCI Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data, estimated that in 2007 in the United States alone, about 34,000 new cases of cancer in men representing 4 percent and 50,500 in women representing 7 percent were due to obesity. Even though there were some cases attributed to obesity, there were some variances in the cancer types with endometrial cancer and esophageal adenocarcinoma being as high as 40%. Experts while analyzing this, could make a projection that if the trend continues as it is now, then in the next two decades the future health and economic burden of obesity will lead to about 500,000 additional cases of cancer. On the other hand, while analyzing the same findings, it was established that if the average adult was to reduce their BMI with just 1%, then this would translate into preventing an increase of the number of new cancer cases by about 100,000. That is how closely obesity is related to cancer.

In the meantime, we spoke to the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury and she says that several possible mechanisms have been suggested in the past to explain the association of obesity with increased risk of certain cancers. The following are some of the tabled suggestions:

  • Fat tissue produces excess amounts of estrogen, high levels of which have been associated with the risk of breast, endometrial, and some other cancers.
  • Obese people often have increased levels of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in their blood (a condition known as hyperinsulinemia or insulin resistance), which may promote the development of certain tumors.
  • Fat cells produce hormones, called adipokines that may stimulate or inhibit cell growth. For example, leptin, which is more abundant in obese people, seems to promote cell proliferation, whereas adiponectin, which is less abundant in obese people, may have anti-proliferative effects.
  • Fat cells may also have direct and indirect effects on other tumor growth regulators, including mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and AMP-activated protein kinase.
  • Obese people often have chronic low-level, or “sub-acute,” inflammation, which has been associated with increased cancer risk.

Other possible mechanisms include altered immune responses, effects on the nuclear factor kappa beta system, and oxidative stress.

Facts about relationship between obesity and cancer: Obesity and breast cancer

Many studies have shown that overweight and obesity are associated with an overbearing increase in risk of postmenopausal breast cancer. This higher risk is seen mainly in women who have never used menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) and for tumors that express both estrogen and progesterone receptors.

Overweight and obesity have, by contrast, been found to be associated with a reduced risk of premenopausal breast cancer in some studies.

The relationship between obesity and breast cancer may be affected by the stage of life in which a woman gains weight and becomes obese. Epidemiologists are actively working to address this question. Weight gain during adult life, most often from about age 18 to between the ages of 50 and 60, has been consistently associated with risk of breast cancer after menopause. The increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer is thought to be due to increased levels of estrogen in obese women. After menopause, when the ovaries stop producing hormones, fat tissue becomes the most important source of estrogen. Because obese women have more fat tissue, their estrogen levels are higher, potentially leading to more rapid growth of estrogen-responsive breast tumors.

The relationship between obesity and breast cancer risk may also vary by race and ethnicity. However, there is limited evidence that the risk associated with overweight and obesity may be less among African American and Hispanic women than among white women.

Facts about relationship between obesity and cancer: Obesity and Endometrial Cancer?

Overweight and obesity have been consistently associated with endometrial cancer. This is the cancer of the lining of the uterus. Obese and overweight women have two to four times the risk of developing this disease than women of a normal weight, regardless of menopausal status. A number of studies have also found that the risk of endometrial cancer increases with increasing weight gain in adulthood, particularly among women who have never used MHT.

Although it has not yet been determined why obesity is a risk factor for endometrial cancer, some evidence points to a role for diabetes, possibly in combination with low levels of physical activity. High levels of estrogen produced by fat tissue are also likely to play a role. In conclusion to part with the prevalence of obesity and all the relationships we are observing with different kinds of cancers, we all have a duty to perform in the realization of good health. It begins with the mutual acknowledgement that these two conditions are a threat to our health. Up on that we can begin to talk to the experts both at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center and other institution where professionalism is practiced in offering treatment of the same. You can schedule for an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury today and she will be there to help you overcome whatever challenge you may be having.
