Women and Eating Disorders

It is commonly said that when a person is under some form of stress, the release is usually through eating. In this, there are two possibilities: eating too much and eating too little. In both cases, the result is likely to be detrimental to one’s health. Compounding the problem is the fact that most people are not aware that they have eating disorder until their health suffers too much.

In women, eating disorders is a very real problem. This is not only due to hormonal changes in her body during menstruation but also to factors that are commonly considered as social. In fact, even peer pressure can cause a woman to alter her eating habits.

The Causes of Eating Disorders in Women

1)The most common cause for eating disorders in women is hormonal changes. Hormonal changes are brought about by the menstrual cycle in women. Because of her menstruation, a woman commonly experiences mood swings and various other changes, which pose a great possibly of transforming into eating disorders.

2) After giving birth, a woman may feel differently from the time before she gave birth. Because of this, a woman may think that her body has changed, and this requires certain amount of acceptance—something that is sometimes difficult to have.

3) Due to social and peer pressure. In some places, there is an extremely strong pull on women for physical beauty. For example, beauty is commonly decided by a sexy appearance, a slim figure, and an overall attractive physical nature. In this case, a woman may think that in order to maintain being attractive, she must either bulk up or cut down on food consumption.

The Effects of Eating Disorders in Women

Eating disorders in women cause various effects, all of them harmful to one’s health. In order to better understand the effects of eating disorders, it is better to distinguish the effects of eating disorders based on the symptoms of disorder.

1.Anorexia. This eating disorder occurs when a woman becomes too conscious with one’s appearance especially in maintaining a slim figure. As a result, a woman tends to eat less and less until it reaches a point when a woman may refuse to eat at all. Because of the reduction in the amount of food that a woman eats, this results in the body being deprived of essential nutrients, thus causing health problems.

2.Bulimia Nervosa. Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder that is characterized by a woman trying to hoard food. This results in a woman eating too much, which causes her body to become bigger. Moreover, in some cases of bulimia nervosa, a woman may not eat the food she hoards, thus resulting to waste.

When a woman becomes bigger due to eating too much, there is the risk that she may experience heart problems due to cholesterol accumulation in the body.

Eating disorders in women is not just a personal issue. It is more of a social concern because social factors can also cause eating disorders. As such, societies must also learn to cope with the problem to supplement individual efforts.

Other foods that are high in zinc include lamb, turkey, red meat (great news for meat lovers), barley, wheat, beans, nuts and pumpkin seeds.

Florida Foster Care Child Drugging

The Foster Care children of the State of Florida are one large segment of the Medicaid population. Current records from The Florida Department of Children and Families show that more than 1,700 prescriptions of antipsychotics were given to Foster Care children in 2006 and again in 2007.

In order to understand the scope of Foster Care child psychiatric drugging in the state of Florida, it is essential to draw a timeline of what concerns have arisen in the past and what, if anything, has been done to effect a positive change.

In 2003, the Statewide Advocacy Council (SAC), a Governor appointed office, issued a report that closely examined the considerable increase in the prescription of psychotropic drugs to children in Florida’s Foster Care System.

At the time of that report, the SAC stated that “more than 9,500 children in Medicaid in Florida had been treated with psychotropic drugs in the year 2000.” The SAC had many concerns at the time, some of which included the use of psychotropic drugs for preschoolers without FDA approval to back up using these drugs on such young children; the diagnosing of such young children; and little documentation to show that appropriate written informed consent was given to administer these drugs.

The SAC brought up the issue of the serious side effects of psychotropic drugs and listed some of them to be “decreased blood flow to the brain, cardiac arrhythmia, weight loss, permanent neurological tics, psychosis, depression, suicidal tendencies and more.”

They stated: “In many of the records reviewed there was no psychiatric diagnosis or the diagnosis was so vague that it would be difficult to justify the use of psychotropic medications.”

44% of the children had no medical evaluation prior to receiving medications. Regarding proper informed consent, the SAC found that 38% of the cases had no authorization obtained and 15% had unauthorized signatures.

The SAC recommended that the State of Florida should closely monitor the children.

The SAC’s concern about this issue and their recommendations may have come to no avail. In 2006, 3,974 Foster Care children in the state of Florida were given a prescription; 1,874 children were given 2 or more prescriptions at one time. In 2007 the numbers are almost identical and reveal that 3,694 children were given a prescription and 1,785 children were given 2 or more prescriptions at the same time.

Children as young as 4 years old were prescribed drugs such as Abilify, Risperdal, Seroquel, Zoloft, Concerta and Depakote.

Tax payers can help to affect a change for the better! Contact your legislators, local reporters and Florida’s Agency for Healthcare Administration and let them know that you have the facts, you have concerns and want better solutions for the care of our Foster Care children, including full informed consent which would include information on the risks as well as the alternatives to psychotropic drugs.

Art and Science of Bodybuilding

See full size image
This article is meant to be informative and should answer some of the questions which are misunderstood about bodybuilding as a sport. It will clear up misconceptions and give you the basic principles to apply that will totally change your physique. You should note that bodybuilding is an exercise in discipline. It requires hard work. Here are some tips on the training schedule, diet and other requirements need to make you increase those muscles.

It is wrongly assumed that bodybuilders spend hours a day working out in the gym. It will surprise you to discover that most of these big guys spend no more than an hour a day for four to six days in a week. The best way to gain muscle is by breaking down muscle fiber through intense workouts, eat healthy foods with the right nutrients and allow your body to have enough rest time for recovery which results in growth. Since the body wants the next workout to be less strenuous it will make the muscles bigger and strong for it to accomplish this effort. Thus it means that growth takes place at home on the rest days but not in the gym. Working out acts as the stimulus for growth but growth mechanism takes place when you are done working out.

Dieting is another very important aspect of bodybuilding which is also highly misunderstood. It is critical to consume a diet heavily loaded with protein. To get better results, eat at least 6 small different meals well spread out. In other words you have to eat a considerable amount of protein after every three hours. This routine should be followed through no matter how busy or occupied you might be. Amino Acids which are the building blocks of life are contained in protein. They are also very critical in muscle recovery which only takes place in their ample presence. The only source for amino acids is dietary protein. When you consume an oversupply of protein, your body gains a positive nitrogen balance which helps in repairing damaged muscle cells. However amino acids get utilized in three hours so you will need to re-supply your body with more amino acids otherwise your body could get into a negative nitrogen balance. This could result in your body removing amino acids from the muscle cells causing muscle growth and repairs to cease.

The other requirements which may be useful to achieve that muscular look is by taking supplements. This is especially important to those people who are not registering any change through food, rest and training. The best supplements should contain creatine, glutamine, whey protein and multivitamins. Avoid anabolic steroids which are powerful drugs that could cause harmful side effects. Should you need to use steroids make sure you know what you are doing by making a thorough research so that you will understand the changes which are likely to take place both in the short and long term. Improper use of steroids could destroy your kidneys and liver.

Signs and Causes of Sleep Deprivation


Sleep deprivation and sleep disorders are becoming a standard way of 21st century life, with approximately 25% of US citizens taking sleeping pills or other sleep-inducing medication to help them nod off each night. We all know that even two hours less sleep a night makes a huge difference to the way we feel in the short term, but what about long term too?

Babies and teenagers need the longest night's sleep of all humans and the elderly need the least. There's a simple answer tSee full size imageo why this is and it's directly linked to what sleep actually does for us. When we are unconscious our brain repairs itself and the nervous system too. Because babies and teenagers are going through a period of intense growth (especially babies whose nervous systems are still developing) they need to sleep a great deal and they even have different sleep patterns to adults.

Sadly for adults it's a baby's different sleeping patterns and different feeding routine that causes sleep deprivation, especially with infants under 6 months. Then again with teenagers, their reluctance to come home at the specified time means parents are awake and worrying until the unsightly hours of the morning. While this doesn't have such a devastating effect as it might on a young infant, sleep deprivation can cause depression and mood disorders in the short term and increased susceptibility to serious health conditions in the long term. /even our immune systems don't get a chance to recharge so we may find ourselves catching colds and stomach bugs more often.

This area of science and cognitive psychology is certainly not one that's been neglected. Studies have linked low levels of sleep with high risk of coronary heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. Then again, our stress levels have been rising on the whole and this affects CHD, diabetes and high blood pressure too. Is there a link? Most probably! While parents and primary caregivers might suffer from sleep deprivation they may benefit from a calmer and less demanding lifestyle, compared to business managers who are constantly struggling against deadlines and keeping disgruntled employees happy. Couple going home and lying in bed awake worrying about a meeting in the morning with a poor diet of fast food and takeaways to save time and you have a recipe for disaster in later life.

It makes sense to conclude that while sleep deprivation is less than ideal, it has also been proven to not hurt a great deal. A study of over one million US citizens showed that those who got 6 or 7 hours sleep a night rather than 8 actually had a longer life span. So if we're losing a couple of hours sleep every night we should try and make sure it's for the right reasons. Of course, the ironic thing is that lying in bed worrying about not getting enough sleep is still the worst thing to do. Our advice is to get up, read a book and snack on a healthy banana until you drop off naturally.

Symptoms of Autism

See full size image

When you first hear the word Autism it conjures up a lot of images and none are good, in this article we hope to explain exactly what is Autism and also to offer so positive images of Autism and Autistic behaviour.

Autism is described in almost every medical book as an acute or severe developmental disorder, which begins at birth or between birth and the age of two and a half.

It is the case that almost all Autistic children and adults look absolutely normal and appear on the surface to be like everyone else ‘ordinary.’ However for the majority of Autism sufferers the world is an odd place full of confusion, and puzzlement and they spend their time busy in their own world exhibiting strange, odd and often disturbing behaviour. These displays of strange behaviour are radically different to the behaviour of ordinary people.

Autism is a condition that is not very well understood by the medical profession and layman alike and misdiagnosis often occurs because there are basically three differing types of Autism. Less acute cases if correctly diagnosed should either be labelled PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder) or indeed Asperger's Syndrome.

Sufferers of Pervasive Developmental Disorder or indeed Asperger's Syndrome usually or typically display Autistic problems such as social or behavioural problems that may include aggressiveness and antisocial behaviour, however the sufferers of Pervasive Developmental Disorder or Asperger's Syndrome usually have normal speech.

One advance that has arrived as a result of the study of Autism is the belief that Autism is not just something that you have to live with. Several biomedical treatment options have been developed which though of course don’t offer a cure will help to reduce the impact of Autism on the sufferer and of course their family.

It is as well that the treatment of Autism is becoming ever more useful to patients because the disorder appears to be increasing at an alarming rate. Before the last decade of the previous century Autism was considered to be rare, indeed at one case in every 2,000 births it was close to being statistically non-existent, but things have changed.

Since the 1990’s the number of cases in new born babies has increased five fold with the number of girls being born with the disorder being four times less than in boys.

And it appears to be getting worst figures from the US Centers for Disease Control reported that "one in 150 children is diagnosed with Autism," and that is a worrying level for a brain disorder.

Can Autism be treated? The sad and irrefutable fact is that today’s medical science cannot treat Autism so there isn’t a pill for Autism, however there are some drugs that have been developed that may be effective in some cases. Autistic people treated with therapies include Seratonin Reputake Inhibitors a range of behaviour controlling drugs.

Not all drug treatments are well received by the groups that have been set up to defend Autistic people’s rights and welfare, they offer other treatments and these include diet, speech therapy, social skills therapy and probably most important of all integration into the community.

Fast Weight Loss Diet Pills

What is bad for you? How do fast weight loss diet pills actually work? Look no further, you have found the answers you seek.

Each fast weight loss diet pill is different so they work differently. Generally, though, these pills contain appetite suppressants that help you feel full quicker and not as hungry throughout the day. A lot of the pills also contain fat blockers that prevent your body from absorbing up to 30% of the fat in the foods you are eating. Many diet pills also contain stimulants to help you feel energized throughout the day even though you are eating less and bringing in fewer vitamins and proteins.

When consider which fast weight loss diet pills might be right for you, you should talk to your doctor. I know a lot of people think their doctor is going to talk them out of trying a diet pill, but your doctor is knowledgeable about these things and can tell you which ones might work better for you.

There are also prescriptions only diet pills that your insurance will cover if you take this route. Talking with your doctor is the best way to go. In addition to recommendations or prescriptions of diet pills, he or she can also tell you if a minor diet change or short term exercise program would work just as well. Diet pills can get expensive if you use them over a long period of time and it may be better to just change your diet and start exercising.

However, fast weight loss diet pills are a great way to boost your metabolism to get you going. If you have a lot of weight to lose and are having a hard time finding the energy or motivation diet pills may be a great way to get you started. Once you get started and find a pattern and routine and are able to change behaviors and eating habits, you probably won't need to keep taking the pills.

Top diet pills can work to get you going. It is important to remember though; there is no magic in a pill. Every ingredient in any pill has potential side effects and can harm if you if taken beyond the recommended lengths or taking more than recommended. Talk to your doctor first, maybe they can point you in a good direction.

Thus, if you have tired-looking eyes, your overall appearance will surely suffer. If you want a makeover and you want to be fabulous this holiday season, the facial features that you need to prioritize are your eyes.

Eyebrows play an important role in heightening the beauty of eyes. Perfect eyebrows almost transcend the beauty of the face and make an immediate visible impact in a makeover session. The most coveted eyebrow shape is the one that starts directly above the inner corner of the eye, while its highest point is little beyond the outer corner of the iris. Plucking or threading should start with a point near nose and end towards the outer end of eyes.

A unibrow or mono-brow is the presence of abundant hair between the eyebrows so that the eyebrows seem to join above the nose to form one long eyebrow. In Western culture, the growth of such facial hair is seen as having a lack of grooming, as if embracing a "primitive" appearance. Unibrow separation is the only form of eyebrow grooming for men. Among women, the space between the brows is plucked or treated with electrolysis or other forms of depilation.

The way your eyebrows are groomed can make a considerable difference in your appearance as your eyebrows help shape your eyes and give you character. It is important to keep your eyebrows trimmed and well groomed. Bushy eyebrows require ongoing care and attention. Still everyone needs some kind of maintenance of his or her eyebrows.

Eyebrows are shaped and colored all the time. Today, there are a variety of pencils for the eyebrows, in different colors and brands. Using pencils for the eyebrows also enhances the beauty of the face. This is the most standard way to fill in the brows. The shape of your brow should follow the natural line of your brow bone. The arch should be highest at the outer corner of the pupil. To determine where the brow should begin, place a pencil straight up from the side of the nostril. To determine where it should end, hold the pencil diagonally against the outer corner of the eye pointing up to the brow bone. Brow should extend slightly beyond the eye at which point it should taper slightly down.

Never shave your eyebrows as a quick fix. When your eyebrows start growing back, they will require constant maintenance. The continuous need for grooming will be obvious. Eyebrows require their own special care. Use your razor for grooming your beard.

Perfect Eyebrows Tips

1. Do not pluck your brows too much.

2. Before tweezing your brows, you must prepare your skin by wiping the brow area with a cotton ball soaked in astringent.

3. Brush your eyebrows using small amount of gel.

4. Color mascara will be great on your eyebrows.

5. Do maintain your eyebrows on a regular basis, say, once in a week or fortnight.

6. If you have little longer brow hairs, trim using manicure scissors.

7. Pluck your brows after taking shower. This will make your task easy, and it is less painful.

8. Take precaution while plucking, so that holes will not appear on your eyebrows after plucking.

Top 6 Tips for Successful Weight Loss

The first thing that people consider doing when they realize they need to lose weight is to stop eating; or at least drastically reduce what they have been eating. Although this will have an immediate effect on your weight it is a short lived effect and any weight loss will quickly stop once the body has adapted to a lower intake of calories.

So what most people need are guidelines or weight loss tips so they can effectively and safely lose weight and this is what this article will provide you with.

1. Beware of Crash Diets:

Crash diets are not good for your health. By lowering the intake of calories, sometimes by enormous amounts depending on the diet followed, can cause serious problems to your health. What happens is that your body begins to digest the fat that is stored as there is no energy being consumed in the shape of food.

This in itself sounds great, but the fat the body burns uses what little energy has been taken onboard. As a result you will suffer from extreme tiredness, illness and a weak immune system that leaves you less able to fight off even minor strains of infections.

A good way to avoid this problem is to use a weight loss program that uses a method called calorie shifting. This method encourages eating the right types of food, the foods in turn maintain a high metabolism and this in turn results in increase weight loss with the negative effects of a low calorie diet!

2. Eating properly:

This was touched on briefly at the end of point one. There are two types of food, good and bad. The good food contains lots of foods that have, what are known as, negative calorie values. A food with a negative calorie value is a food that contains fewer calories than what the body uses to digest it.

Therefore, if you take an apple for example that has a calorific value of 100, and eat it, you will burn off 50 more calories than the apple contains, as it takes 150 calories to digest the apple! A diet that comprises completely of negative calorie foods will practically guarantee weight loss.

On the other hand though there are many foods that contain empty calories, and these are the nemesis of the negative calorie foods and are very much what we are looking to avoid or limit in our diet. All foods that contain empty calories are referred to as junk foods; and amongst these are items like red meat, white bread, cakes, biscuits, anything that has a high sugar count, chips and many more besides.

3. Building your muscles:

We are not talking Arnold Schwarzenegger here, but weight training is by far the most effective fat burning exercise you can undertake. Muscle is heavier than fat, so using weight training as a method for weight loss can be disconcerting as you may not see your scales showing you getting any lighter.

What will happen however is that you will lose inches from problem fatty areas and your body fat levels will decrease rapidly Lean muscle uses a lot of calories both when working and at rest so the more muscle your body has the greater your body's metabolism will be, and the greater your metabolism the more fat will be burned. The best way to start building muscle is by using simple resistant exercises like press-ups and sit-ups.

4. Extra calorie burn using aerobics:

Aerobics are exercises that train the body to oxygenate for endurance, this oxygenating process requires a constant but steady burn of calories in order maintain muscle activity. Although aerobics do not induce the building of lean muscle they are excellent for your immediate well being and fitness levels but they are an excellent way of burning fat. Always ensure that you remain as hydrated as possible throughout aerobic exercise.

5. Extra stimulants and help:

There is a belief that caffeine or smoking assist in weight loss and there may be an element of truth in this as both are appetite suppressants, but neither are good bedfellows if you are looking to improve your health and lifestyle. Instead, you could look at the many natural supplements that target appetite suppression and readily available on the high street.

6. Diet Pills?

My advice would be to check out with your doctor first, whatever it is you are looking at taking. Even if what you are looking at using has had a number of rave reviews elsewhere. My own personal opinion is that if you combine a good exercise routine with a weight loss program structured using a calorie shifting method, you will not need any stimulants or pills to help you reach the weight you have targeted for yourself.

Losing weight is about being sensible, and obtaining and using good information. It doesn't necessarily mean sacrifice or suffering but will need you to apply a certain degree of compromise in order to achieve your weight loss goals.

Support Hair Growth

Human beings on an average lose about hundred hairs a day from the scalp. Most of them grow back over a period of time. But due to some reasons which could be general health, hormonal imbalance, deficiencies, hairstyle changes, extreme climatic conditions, water contamination and many other internal and external factors, hair loss is more than the new hair which grows back. This results in baldness or scanty hair over a period of time.

The following are a few simple tips to prevent hair loss.

Everyday natural tips

• One hour before you go to bed, open a clove of garlic and rub the slices on the hairless area. Massage the scalp thoroughly with olive oil and then cover your head with a cap before going to bed.

• Massage the scalp everyday with a teaspoon of honey and half a cup of onion juice.

• Before going to bed every night, rub the scalp with sesame oil. Rinse with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and wash thoroughly with a good shampoo.

Periodical tips

• You can soak fenugreek in tepid water overnight and massage the liquid on your scalp. Cover your head with a cap and leave it for 3 hours. Rinse it thoroughly. You can repeat this process at least once in a month to promote good hair health and growth.

• Take half of raw onion and massage the scalp before going to bed. Cover your head with a cap and go to bed. Rinse it with mixture of warm water and apple cider the next morning and wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo.

• Massage corn oil on the scalp and wrap you head with a cloth soaked in warm water. Leave it for one hour. Rinse your hair with a mixture of tepid water and apple cider and wash it with shampoo.

• Massage your scalp at least for three nights in a week with olive oil and leave it overnight. Rinse with a mild shampoo the next morning. It removes the trapped dirt, grease and oil in the hair and clears the pores allowing the hair to grow. This also gives thicker hair.

Lifestyle tips

• Drink green tea every day. Target at least taking four cups on a daily basis. Some people may not like the taste or not have the time. In this case, it comes in the capsule form and can be consumed for hair growth.

• Consume foods rich in the vital nutrients required for hair growth - vitamin b, vitamin d, biotin, protein, copper, zinc, magnesium and iron. Spinach, chicken, eggs, almonds and turkey are good sources of these nutrients and promote hair growth.

Choosing shampoos

Shampoos containing a chemical called Sodium Laureth Sulphate have to be avoided. Though it removes oil and dirt, it affects hair growth. Hence, while purchasing your favourite brand next time, read the product label and check whether this ingredient is present.

Hair loss prevention products in the market

• There are various hair loss prevention solutions in the market. You can try out ‘natural products’ free of chemicals as they are safe to use and do not cause any adverse reactions on the scalp.

• Try and avoid products which have chemical content in them in order to reduce the risk of adverse reactions.
