Superfoods That Help Heartburn
Heartburn and indigestion make millions of people miserable. Continuous digestive problems can be a symptom of overeating, bad food choices or something more serious. Thankfully simple changes in the foods you eat can provide relief. A number of foods can trigger heartburn or indigestion by relaxing the band of muscles at the end of your esophagus so it can't keep out stomach acid. By avoiding spicy foods with black pepper or chili powder, garlic and raw onions, citrus foods like tomatoes, oranges, and grapefruit, fried or fatty foods, alcohol or anything with caffeine such as coffee, tea, soft drinks, heartburn and indigestion can be greatly lessened or avoided. For overall healthy digestion and to minimize acid reflux, make sure you get plenty of fiber from a variety of vegetables, non-citrus fruits, and whole grains. Drink enough fluids to help your body absorb important nutrients and lubricate food waste, and use low-fat methods when cooking. Try drinking herbal chamomile tea after dinner or before bedtime, as it's believed to have a calming effect on the stomach. Smaller but more frequent meals can also help decrease heartburn and indigestion episodes. Be sure to eat your meals and snacks in a calm, relaxed atmosphere where there's little if any noise or distractions. Wear properly fitting clothing that isn't tight in the waist and abdominal area, and don't lie down immediately after eating a meal. Make your morning meal oatmeal. It's high in fiber, low in saturated fat and cholesterol and when combined with skim milk, gives you a calcium-charged boost to your day. By adding blueberries or raisins you'll be adding some extra iron and potassium into the mix for a well-balanced meal.
You can't beat turkey if you want a lean, nutrient-packed protein source that'll be easy on your stomach. Turkey is high in niacin, which helps lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Chicken without the skin is also a terrific low-fat source of protein. Both are easy to cook either indoors or out.
Apples and grapes are low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium, and are a great non-citrus fruit choice for vitamin C and fiber.

Cosmetic Surgery And Weight Loss
Are you looking to lose weight? If you are, you may also be looking for a little bit of help. Cosmetic surgery is often performed to improve one's physical appearance, but there are certain situations in which it could actually be a lifesaver. These situations often involve those who are overweight.
One of the most sought after cosmetic procedures performed is that of liposuction. Liposuction is designed to remove excess fat from the body. Often times, specific "problem," areas are targeted. Common areas on both men and women include the underarms, the thighs, and the abdominal area.
If you are interested in undergoing liposuction, it is important to know that you may not necessarily get to. Quality cosmetic surgeons, namely the ones you will want operating on you, have strict standards and qualifications for candidates. These typically include those of the age of eighteen, those in good health, and those who have the desire to lose weight. Good health and the desire to stay on a healthy path is important so that complications do not arise.
Unfortunately, those who are obese aren't always good candidates for liposuction. This is because only a small about of fat can be removed at once, as there are dangers to removing too much. Also, those who are obese are likely to have diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart problems. These all increase the risk of complications. If you are obese, there is good new though. You may be a candidate for gastric bypass surgery or another similar procedure, like the Lapband. Your primary care physician may be able to help you determine which surgery you are the best candidate for.
In addition to assisting with weight loss, cosmetic surgery can also be used to help those who have lost a significant amount of weight. If you had a large weight loss, like 100 pounds or more, you may have a lot of excess skin just, literally, hanging around. This may make you feel unattractive and scared to show off your great new body. It is ironic when this happens though, as one of your weight loss goals was to look good. Cosmetic surgery, as previously stated, can provide you with assistance. You can receive a full body lift, unless you have specific areas you would like targeted. Although there are a number of side effects, including pain and discomfort, you will likely be pleased with the results.
As a reminder, not everyone is the perfect candidate for cosmetic surgery. The first thing that you will want to do is find and choose a cosmetic surgeon or surgery center in your area. You can then schedule a consultation appointment for yourself. At this appointment, you will have the procedure explained to you and your surgeon will help you decide if cosmetic surgery is the best option for you.
Before proceeding too far, it is also important to examine the cost. If you are without health insurance, you will have to pay for the full costs of your surgery. Even if you are insured, you may still be responsible for the cost. Most cosmetic procedures, like liposuction and the removal of excess skin, are not covered. With that said, gastric bypass surgery and other similar procedures are about more than just improving physical appearance, as they can often be a lifesaver.

Cheesecakes For Health Buffs
The last dish that comes to a dieter's mind is the cheesecake. It contains large amounts of calories due to its dairy content and more if toppings are added. However, no one ever said that you cannot have a cake and eat it too. No matter what the occasion is, be it holidays or birthdays, it is never complete without a cake.
Traditional cheesecake recipes are often loaded with sugar and fat aside from calories, which could be detrimental to the cardiovascular health. This can take away some of the joy out of consuming and enjoying a dessert. Fortunately, there are several ways of cooking cheesecakes, which have transformed the usual recipe by cutting back on the white flour and limiting the use of ingredients that have full-fat. These kinds of recipe create healthier substitutions that will surely satisfy anyone's sweet tooth.
About Healthy Cheesecakes
Although the calcium content of cheesecakes is good for the bone structure, almost all cheesecake treats are not exactly light cooking. For instance, the New York style cheesecake calls for heavy amounts of cream cheese, five eggs, two yolks and cream. It is hard to admit that cheesecakes are untouchable - and uneatable- for health conscious individuals.
The absolute triumph in cheesecake history is the creation of breakthrough recipes that still match the traditional cheesecake recipe in texture and richness while cutting the fat by half. Not only are the fillings healthy in these kinds of cheesecakes but the crusts too. There are also other kinds of cheesecake that are designed for diabetics. These kinds of culinary breakthrough are helpful to those who cannot enjoy the delight of desserts after a meal.
However, even if the cheesecake is safe enough to eat for dieters, the most important thing to remember is moderation. Limit the cheesecake consumption to a single slice per week. In this way, not only would you enjoy the delight that the cheesecake brings but also help you maintain your weight.
Healthy Cheesecake Example
A popular example of a healthy cheesecake is the low-fat baked cheesecake. In this kind of recipe, low-fat cream is used, as well as sugar and eggs substitutes.
For the ingredients, you will need nine-inch reduced fat graham cracker crust, one-fourth cup skim milk, one-half cup of egg substitute, two to eight ounces of fat free cream cheese bars, two tablespoons flour, six packets of artificial sweetener or one-fourth cup of Splenda sugar, two teaspoon lemon juice and one teaspoon vanilla.
In preparing the low-fat baked cheesecake, first preheat the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. By using a mixer, combine the flour and milk while keeping the mixing speed at low. Gently add the cream cheese and then increase the mixing speed to medium. While still mixing, add the artificial sweetener or Splenda, egg substitute, vanilla and lemon juice. Pour the batter into the crust and bake for at least forty minutes. Wait until the cheesecake's center is set. Always remember to chill the dessert before serving
Despite of it being fat-free and only uses one type of cheese, the low-fat baked cheesecake is actually edible. One-fourth piece of each ingredient have the nutritional facts of 256 calories, .9 grams of fat, 32 grams of carbohydrates, .9 grams of fiber and 22.7 grams of protein. This kind of cheesecake is absolutely essential for those who want to enjoy the delight of the cheesecake while avoiding health risks and probably weight gain.

What You Should Know About Weight Loss Medication
There comes a point in the fight with obesity where you may just say, “Forget diet and exercise, I need weight loss medication!” The good news is that there are a wide variety of weight loss drugs on the market today. The bad news is, there’s pretty much never going to be a circumstance where you can truly forget about diet or exercise. That doesn’t mean that weight loss drugs are useless, of course – far from it. Weight loss medication can be very helpful in your quest to lose weight.
There’s a big difference between over-the-counter diet pills and genuine, prescription weight loss medication. Anyone can buy diet pills. Usually, the only function that diet pills provide is a boost to a person’s metabolism through assorted herbal compounds and a generous dose of caffeine. This can be enough for some people when combined with diet and exercise, but it’s not always going to get the job done in severe cases.
Prescription weight loss drugs are, of course, tougher to obtain. When your doctor feels that weight loss drugs are the way to go for you, he’ll recommend them for you and write a prescription. Generally, weight loss medication is only prescribed to people with a body-mass index of over 27, and even then, sometimes only if that person suffers from obesity-related symptoms.
Obesity-related symptoms are numerous, and can include: heart disease and stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer and more. If you’re suffering from these symptoms, then you need to lose weight, and fast. Losing weight is more than just a matter of fitting into your summer swimsuit – the symptoms it can cause can be life threatening!
Most weight loss drugs are meant to only be used for a short period of time – a couple weeks, months at most. There are a few medications made specifically for longer-term use, but their safe use has not been tested past 2 years. Again, your doctor will be able to advise you of the dosage and length of time that you should use any weight loss drugs he or she prescribes.
Most of the weight loss drugs on the market today are one of two types: appetite suppressors or fat absorption inhibitors. Those are a lot of big fancy words for saying that these drugs either make you get hungry less or make less of the fat in the food you digest “stick.” Only one fat absorption inhibitor is legal in the United States, so most of the time a doctor will prescribe an appetite suppressant.
Ironically, appetite suppressants actually work on your head, and not your stomach. These drugs trigger the release of a natural chemical in your brain that helps keep your appetite in check. Basically, your brain believes that you’re not hungry or even full when you’re actually not. With these types of weight loss medication, you’ll have less desire to eat to fill yourself up, but you’ll still need willpower to avoid eating for pleasure, so hide those chocolate bars!

Tips For You On Weight Loss Products
In this day and age, if a you want to lose weight, you can do so with a lot of outside help. You can do this in the form of exercise, food regulation, weight loss products and programs and weight loss medicine. A ton of weight loss products are now readily available in the market for your use. But with the numerous products for losing weight available in the market, which ones are effective and which ones are not?
Choosing the wrong ones can be dangerous and create more problems than you just trying to lose weight. There are weight loss pills, drinks, patches and weight loss diets. Which ones work and which ones work longer?
Weight loss products include drinks usually marketed as diet supplement drinks, meant to replace food for a meal. Herbalife products are meant to replace 2 meals everyday with the Herbalife shakes, mixed with nonfat milk, and Herbalife tablets. Ultra Slim Fast recommends drinking two shakes a day and food intake of a snack and dinner of 500 to 650 calories and an exercise plan.
Other supplement drink products are also available in the market and offer the same things as Herbalife and Ultra Slim Fast. However, these products do not come without side effects. Many users have reported that they still feel hungry after drinking these products. And because these products do not really aid in teaching users about proper and healthy, long-term eating, most users give up these products and eventually gain back the weight they’ve already lost.
There are also weight loss products in the form of pills as supplements. Diet pills containing Ephedra claim to aid in weight loss simply by taking a certain number of pills daily. Green tea extract supplements are pills with ingredients extracted from green tea and enhances weight loss. There are other products like this but one thing they have in common is that these products do not automatically guarantee weight loss.
Most of the time, these products are not even proven to be safe and effective for losing weight. There are some weight loss pills that are better than most pill products. These are usually diet pills that contain PPA, glucomannan supplements and chitonan supplements. These products have been effective because they usually instruct users to pair the weight loss pills with a low-fat, calorie-reduced diet.
Before deciding to try these weight loss products or deciding what to try, make sure you do research on the product and its ingredients first. Be sure to consult with the US Food and Drug Administration for the safe ingredients and the ones to watch out for. Once decided, make sure to follow instructions carefully.
Misuse or mishandling the product can result in having more health problems. And users must also remember that these weight loss products are not the only factor in losing weight. They simply aid in weight loss and will not do all the work. The work still has to come from a determination to lose the undesired weight.

Discover How Easy A 3 Day Detox Diet Will Make You Feel And Look Better
Have you been looking for the fastest, safest and easiest way to feel better and look better? This article will provide you the right way to go about it.
A 3 day detox diet is a fantastic way to quickly clean out your system without committing to a long term diet change. Diets that go for any longer than a few days are notoriously hard to stick to, but if you know in your mind, that you must only stick to it for three days then amazingly it becomes more of a pleasure than a chore.
Actually the overall plan is extremely simple and very easy to execute. There are several varieties of this diet and it’s up to you to choose the one that suits your tastes and lifestyle. However, you must stick to the exact diet though; otherwise your detoxification process will be ruined.
Day 1
This is the day to cleanse the system. Getting rid of all that build up is the toughest part, but you start by drinking water first thing in the morning. After that, water is all you drink besides some fresh fruit juice (and ONLY fresh, no added sugars!). Breakfast should be a light wholegrain cereal and fruit, lunch can be some veggies and fresh fish (grilled) and dinner a similar menu. Salad is allowed as are fruits but the order of the day is vegetables and water - these are fantastic elimination products. You should be exercising on day 1 - a brisk walk for 30 minutes will do the trick.
Day 2
Today is the day to build upon the detoxification process that is well underway. You don’t want to stop it now, so it is impetrative to keep drinking water and lots of it. No coffee or tea are allowed during this entire process, nor is junk food (obvious but should be pointed out!). Did I hear a groan on that last one? Get over it! You want to feel good and look better don’t you?
Breakfast today should consist only of fresh fruit and water. A green salad is great for lunch and steamed fish and vegetables for dinner. After today you will start feeling amazing and your skin will start to look clearer after just two days on this ultra healthy diet. You'll also lose the bloated feeling around the stomach.
Day 3
Water and fruit rule day three. You may feel very hungry today but that’s ok, your body is finally cleaning out all those toxins. Keep going and get through today without exerting much energy. Vegetables for dinner will ensure your body does not crave food overnight.
Your 3 Day Detox diet seems very sparse, but remember it is only for three days and the whole idea is to cleanse your body. By not eating foods which have chemicals or other unnatural substances in them, you’re giving your body a totally natural diet, the way it was intended to be. Now go take a look in the mirror, give yourself a high five, because you’re feeling better and you’re looking hot.

A 3 day detox diet is a fantastic way to quickly clean out your system without committing to a long term diet change. Diets that go for any longer than a few days are notoriously hard to stick to, but if you know in your mind, that you must only stick to it for three days then amazingly it becomes more of a pleasure than a chore.
Actually the overall plan is extremely simple and very easy to execute. There are several varieties of this diet and it’s up to you to choose the one that suits your tastes and lifestyle. However, you must stick to the exact diet though; otherwise your detoxification process will be ruined.
Day 1
This is the day to cleanse the system. Getting rid of all that build up is the toughest part, but you start by drinking water first thing in the morning. After that, water is all you drink besides some fresh fruit juice (and ONLY fresh, no added sugars!). Breakfast should be a light wholegrain cereal and fruit, lunch can be some veggies and fresh fish (grilled) and dinner a similar menu. Salad is allowed as are fruits but the order of the day is vegetables and water - these are fantastic elimination products. You should be exercising on day 1 - a brisk walk for 30 minutes will do the trick.

Common Disagreements And Bad Effects Of The Atkins Diet On People
There are many disagreements and bad effects of the Atkins diet that have been created and focused on since its original introduction to the world. Many feel the Atkins diet does not adequately provide the nutrients needed for what the body needs on a daily basis. Others feel that it is downright destructive to the body and will eventually destroy all semblance of good health the person has.
A common disagreement over the Atkins diet is whether it is actually good for someone. Those who believe in the Atkins diet say it is a great way to become healthy and lose weight. They claim they lose around 10lbs. the first week, which in turn slowly increases over time, especially if they take supplements and exercise the right way. Furthermore, they state that they are able to enjoy meat more often and other fatty foods.
Those who disagree with the Atkins diet state the aforementioned individuals are losing weight due to a combination of water, fat, and lean muscle loss. Lean muscle loss in any form is not good for an individual, as they only need to lose fat and not healthy lean muscle. They state the 10lbs. that were claimed was very damaging to the individual and was not the results that they believe. In addition, while the meat does help build lean muscle, it is the supplements and exercising that help the person lose weight, and not the diet itself.
Disagreements and bad effects of the Atkins diet will continue to be a hotly debated topic for as long as the Atkins diet is around. The bad effects continue to be debated for the damage it does to the human body, which goes beyond the loss of lean muscle. It is believed that if a person is unaware of having certain health conditions and begins the Atkins diet; by the end of the week, that person may fall into a coma and possibly even die. While this may be correlated only to extreme cases, almost all interviewed participants of the Atkins diet state that by day three or four they have begun to experience light headedness and dizziness, often followed by collapsing or passing out.
There is a consensus that the Atkins diet does work, but that the bad effects far outweigh any good effects that it can have. Still, there is evidence that the diet does work and there is proof of this. Disagreements will continue about the Atkins diet for as long as it continues to exist, despite new evidence that there may be some true pros to the diet. No matter how good something is, if it causes you harm people are not interested.
In the end, people will have to determine the pros and cons for themselves. If they choose the Atkins diet, there is sure to be more disagreements and bad news of the Atkins diet for many years in the future.
