B Vitamins Reduce Obesity Proneness
Monday, July 28, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A novel animal study has shown that nutrition can influence the ways genes are expressed during pregnancy, so that the newborn is less likely to become obese. This study has far reaching implications for public health because right now many overweight mothers are predisposing their children to be overweight through improper gene programming. Appetite Drives Obesity in ChildrenThursday, July 17, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study closely tracks the relationship of appetite to the development of obesity in children, hoping to shed light on why some kids don’t get fat and others do. The researchers found that as a child’s waistline gets larger, the full signal is blunted or delayed and the desire for food intake increases. Carnosine Helps Fat MetabolismTuesday, July 15, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study shows that carnosine promotes the normal function of nerves to stimulate the breakdown of fat via histamine receptors. Nutrients Safely Boost Metabolism in Diabetic RatsSaturday, July 05, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) New concepts in the management of diabetes are taking center stage in our society because widespread dietary and lifestyle abuse has led to an epidemic of type II diabetes in children, teenagers, and young adults. The use of drugs to manipulate numbers and gene function within cells has thus far proven to be a miserable failure. Drugs do not restore health, and as a recent clinical trial proves the more aggressively they are used to treat diabetes the higher the risk for death. Calcium and Vitamin D for Fat BurningThursday, July 03, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study in overweight women shows that 900 mg per day of supplemental calcium increases their ability to burn fat for fuel. This ability is enhanced by vitamin D status. Train Your “Bitter Tooth” to Prevent ObesityWednesday, July 02, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Too many Americans are addicted to sweet taste and have an adversely altered taste perception. On the flip side of this coin is a more neutral reaction to bitter-tasting vegetables. New research in children shows that those with an increased aversion to bitter taste are six times more likely to become obese – a problem that is aggravated if their mother is also overweight. Weekends Add Pounds – Healthy Tips for the 4thTuesday, July 01, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) New research confirms what many of you already know: whatever weight you managed to lose during the week is gained back on the weekend, resulting in Monday morning gloom as you look at the scale. Saturdays are king of fat intake, topping all other days of the week. Obesity, Immunity, and Premature DeathFriday, June 27, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It is convenient for modern medicine to separate a patient’s problems into neatly divided specialty areas so that problems can be micro-analyzed by various specialists. This is convenient for treating, diagnosing, referring, and drug dispensing. This system generates income for the sickness industry but it often fails to understand the highly integrated nature of any problem you may be having. Waist to Height Ratio – Is your Stomach Too Large?Thursday, June 26, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new simple way to judge waistline size and health has emerged that applies to children, adults, and either sex. The goal is to keep your waist size to less than ½ your height. Just figure out your height in inches and divide by two. Does Low Leptin Doom Dieting?Sunday, June 22, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The drug industry is doing everything in its power to get leptin drugs on the market for some type of widespread weight-loss angle. The problem is that such drugs don’t work, because just about everyone who is overweight makes too much leptin. This was apparent back in 2002 when there were only 5000 leptin studies, now there are 14,000. Consumer beware – researchers paid by Big Pharma are actively and intentionally creating a twisted misrepresentation relating to how leptin works, solely to sell drugs. AMA Condones High Fructose Corn SyrupSaturday, June 21, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Embarrassingly, the AMA has voted in defense of high fructose corn syrup, making its entire organization look like a ship of fools. Regular Aerobics Decreases Appetite, Boosts BrainWednesday, June 18, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Researchers documented that a potent brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was significantly boosted by 3 months of aerobic exercise – and the higher its level the less a person wants to eat and the greater their weight loss. This is the first time BDNF levels have been linked to appetite suppression – a significant finding. Hunger Hormone Helps Alleviate Stress and DepressionMonday, June 16, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) In a strange twist of events your stomach’s hunger hormone, ghrelin, may help to protect you against stress-induced anxiety and depression. This “gift” of protection comes at a price – eating too much food in response to stress. This new information shows just how powerful stress eating can be, as this type of survival signaling is wired to your core subconscious brain. Lack of Sleep Causes Excess Carbohydrate ConsumptionThursday, June 12, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Fail to get enough restful sleep and the next day you will crave and eat too many carbohydrates – even getting drawn into the evil of snacking. High Protein Meals Reduce AppetiteMonday, June 09, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Studies detailing the effects of protein on rat brain neuro-circuitry have shown that higher protein meals increase your subconscious brains satiety signals, helping you feel full. Dairy Prevents Bone Loss During Weight LossFriday, June 06, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A diet of lean protein and low fat dairy, along with vegetables and fruit, was able to stop bone loss during weight loss – something that our government’s food pyramid guidelines could not do. Study participants consume 30% of their calories from protein, while the food pyramid recommends only 10% of calories from protein. Sugar Addiction Drives Childhood ObesityWednesday, June 04, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It’s obvious to just about anyone that excess sugar consumption makes you fat. Now we even have data to prove that excessive sugar consumption, mostly from sweetened drinks like soda, is up at a rate that would require a 1 hour jog per day just to burn of the extra calories. Pine Nut Oil Reduces Food DesireMonday, June 02, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Two new studies confirm the helpful role of Pine Nut Oil to reduce the desire to eat larger portions. Do You Eat What You Know You Should Be Eating?Saturday, May 31, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) There appears to be a very large disconnect between what a person knows they should be eating and what they tend to eat. New research is demonstrating that emotional states of feeling, otherwise known as stress eating, take priority over logic when it comes to consuming food. Refined Carbohydrates and the Fast Track to DiseaseThursday, May 29, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study shows just how deadly refined carbohydrates are – even for a healthy person. One serving given to a lean and healthy young adult is adequate to triple the inflammatory response to the surge in glucose. MSG Can Make You FatWednesday, May 28, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study involving Chinese citizens found that MSG intake of 330 mg a day doubled the risk for obesity, independent of diet and exercise. Refined Carbohydrates Linked to Breast CancerWednesday, May 21, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study demonstrates that both estrogen positive and estrogen negative breast cancer in post menopausal women is linked directly to the size of their waistline and consumption of junky carbohydrates. Stress, Subordination, and CravingsSaturday, May 17, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Research on female monkeys shows that those in a subservient role and under chronic stress ate significantly more food resulting in weight gain, compared to the female monkeys in the dominating role. New research on humans does show that women with poor stress management skills will keep eating after they are full simply to make negative emotional feelings go away. Your Stomach and Cardiovascular HealthThursday, May 15, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Just about everyone now realizes that the size of your waistline reflects your degree of cardiovascular risk. A new angle on the issue has emerged and it has to do with your stomach itself, as opposed to the amount of extra belly fat. It has to do with your stomach’s hunger signal, ghrelin. Digestive Inflammation and Food CravingsThursday, May 15, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Several new lines of research are showing that ghrelin levels are elevated during digestive distress in an effort to coordinate repair of your digestive tract. The adverse side effect of elevated ghrelin is that your appetite will elevate and you will eat more food, making you gain weight.
