Do You Crave Chocolate after a hectic day?

If you crave chocolate or Cheetos after a hectic day, it may be because you’re sleep-deprived, a new study suggests.

Researchers have found that lack of sleep may lead to increased appetite and an affinity for unhealthy foods.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, one in three U.S. adults don’t get enough sleep and roughly the same percentage are obese. Study author Erin Hanlon, a research associate at the University of Chicago, aimed to connect these two nationwide problems.

“Evidence from laboratory and epidemiological studies has started to consistently associate insufficient sleep with an increased risk of obesity,” she said.

Lack of sleep can be a risk factor because it boosts hunger, due to the delicate balance between the nutrients consumed and the energy costs of staying awake, which remain generally the same whether you’ve had enough sleep or not.

Hanlon’s study, published in the journal Sleep, compared 14 otherwise healthy young adults who had four nights of normal sleep (8.5 hours) with those with four nights of restricted sleep (4.5 hours). Both groups were provided with carefully prepared meals. On the final day, participants were given a healthy meal, followed by free rein at a snack bar containing tasty treats including cookies, candy and chips (what researchers dubbed “highly palatable, rewarding snacks”).

Those in the sleep-deprived group tended to eat snacks with more carbohydrates and nearly twice as much fat and protein.
The team’s previous research suggested that sleep deprivation affected levels of endocannabinoids, chemicals in the brain that are involved in regulating appetite and bind to the same receptors as marijuana.

Hanlon’s team, from the University of Chicago, Universite Libre de Bruxelles and Medical College of Wisconsin, was able to measure the concentration of a specific endocannabinoid called 2AG in the blood. For both groups, the researchers matched those levels with hunger and food intake.

Under normal sleep conditions, the concentration of 2AG endocannabinoids gradually increased in the blood during the day, reaching a peak in the early afternoon that coincided with the onset of early afternoon munchies.
But for subjects who had less sleep, not only did researchers note greater increases in 2AG concentration that lasted into the late evening, but participants were also hungrier and more likely to eat unhealthy snacks.
This study is an important step in understanding the relationship between the endocannabinoid system, sleep deprivation and weight gain, Hanlon said.

The alkaline Diet cannot work

 

Because of what I do …lecture on health sciences….. and because I am constantly researching new topics for my subscribers I continually come across so called diets that have no grounding in scientific fact. The Alkaline diet is one of those programs.

I know that it cannot work because of my job but I reckon that many people buy into these wild claims that programs make and to be honest how are you meant to know?

  Just read on and I will explain to you how this diet cannot work.

The Alkaline Diet is based on the acid/alkali theory of disease. When we break down the food we eat, we are left with some waste products, These waste products can be acidic or alkaline, depending on the protein, sulphur or mineral content of the food.  Promotors of the alkaline diet claim that eating foods which leaves behind a lot of acidic waste affects our bodies pH and leaves us vulnerable to disease.  They advise eating a diet high in alkaline forming foods, to promote health and wellness.

 

Do you remember your chemistry lessons when you learnt all about  PH.  A PH of 1-6 is acid and 8-14 is alkaline. All of the chemical reactions that take place in your body are controlled by proteins called enzymes. Enzymes are very fussy about the PH in which they work and so if the PH changes they will not work .Now here is the thing when enzymes do not work you do not work!

For that very reason we have a process in our body called homeostasis that always brings  the body back to its normal functioning PH. This means that no matter what food you eat the body will always remain at the normal PH….around 7.4 except for the stomach where the PH is 2.

Lastly the notion that you can test your bodies pH by testing the pH of your urine is also not correct.  Your urine pH is not a reflection of the pH of your blood (or any other part of your body). It’s just an indication that your kidneys are doing their job. Whatever the number on the pH strip, if you are healthy and well you can be sure that  the pH of your blood is around 7.4

So Take it from me the alkaline diet cannot work. If you need any other reasons as to why it cannot work then let me know and I will send them

The Top Five Worst Foods For your Joints

Every day, millions of people have a hard time exercising because of shoulder, knee, back and elbow pain.

What most people — and even most doctors — don’t know is that one of the major causes of pain is actually… food.

Here’s what you should focus on removing from your diet if you want to double your recovery process and get pain-free faster than with just pills:

1) Sugar. This one is obvious. Nothing damages the digestive track like sugar.

The medical community is starting to agree on the fact that chronic inflammation often starts in your gut, the biggest part of your immune system.

2) Alcohol. I also like my Friday night drink-out, but keep in mind that beer or any other alcoholic beverage damages your gut flora and liver when consumed in excess.

3) Grains. Refined or not, grains are inflammatory. That’s even worse if you’re gluten sensitive, like 10-15 % (depending on the sources) of the world’s population.

The phytic acid and lecithins in grains are a problem for most people, even without allergies or intolerance.

4) Refined vegetable oil. Canola, soy, safflower, corn, sunflower, you name it.

Even though these oils are advertised as healthy and trans-fat free, turns out the heavy refining which they go through destroy the healthy fats and turn them into highly inflammatory by-products.

5) Pasteurized dairy. 75% of the world’s population is intolerant to lactose.

That’s because the pasteurization process destroys the healthy bacteria and enzymes in raw milk, and make this popular beverage very hard to digest.

In my experience, most people feel like a million bucks when drinking less pasteurized milk or ditching it altogether.

===========================

These are just some of the inflammatory foods most people are consuming on a daily basis.

But there are also a ton of superfoods that can REDUCE your pain and help you heal your joints.

 

So, if you suffer from any kind of joint or muscle pain, then make sure you check out the best resource on the subject:

Bring our Children back to Nature…is that so hard?

I turn 61 this year and although my childhood was almost half a century ago I still have vivid and fond memories of being in the country and exploring nature.

To remind me of those days is a large painting of a young girl and boy in a river catching sticklebacks with a small net and jam jar. It is in my brother’s house and it takes pride of place above the fireplace. I know my brother bought it because it reminded him of when we were young and used to trawl the rivers for small fish.

My summer memory is a vivid one of running among the clusters of daffodils that surrounded the cathedral in the local town. Then there is the feeling of sand between my feet as we ran up over the dunes of the beach chasing and hiding among the scattered dune grass that provided us with cover.

I remember the excitement of adventure when my father told us we were moving to Africa. We dreamed of fierce lions and elephants and my brothers and I would sit for hours and ponder on the wildness of the country we were moving too. Our stories were exaggerated ones of bravery and intrigue.

Africa was wonderful. The smells, the wildlife and the closeness to the natural world changed us as children. As my father was a Vet we lived in very rural situations.The different tribes of Africans affected us, their simplicity and joy in all kinds of situations made us very appreciate teenagers who looked at life with a global perspective and a thirst for knowledge of anything that moved and was deemed wild and interesting. It’s no wonder that I became a Biology and Animal Health lecturer and one brother became an Ecologist.

I grew up with nature and I still crave it. I think about children today and their learned priorities of socializing on the computer or playing games. Their time with nature sometimes seems organized instead of natural and that is a real shame.

Children today suffer from many physical and mental problems that could be helped by encouraging our children to experience nature. In N. Ireland where I live I hear of a teenage suicide every few months.

What brings someone so young to those depths?

Nature takes away our stresses.When we walk in a forest the trees and the plants disperse out negative energy. The smells affect our brains making us feel good and the exercise reduces our waistline. In the UK 28% of girls aged 2-10 are now obese and the figure has doubled since 1998. We push our Education system to achieve excellence at the expense of our natural being. Research has shown that playing in a natural environment improves a child’s concentration,social and mental development and physical and mental health.

Maybe if we got that right first the rest would follow.

Facts about Genital Warts

 

 

Genital warts, also known as condyloma, or condylomata acuminata, is a highly contagious sexually transmitted infection. It is spread during oral, genital, or anal sex with an infected partner. Genital warts are the most easily recognised sign of genital HPV infection.

Genital warts often occur in clusters and can be very tiny or can spread into large masses in the genital or anal area. In women the warts occur on the outside and inside of the vagina, on the cervix, uterus or around the anus. While genital warts are approximately as prevalent in men, the symptoms of the disease may be less obvious. When present, they usually are seen on the tip of the penis.

They also may be found on the shaft of the penis, on the scrotum, or around the anus. Rarely, genital warts also can develop in the mouth or throat of a person who has had oral sex with an infected person.

 Genital warts often disappear even without treatment. In other cases, they eventually may develop a fleshy, small raised growth that looks like wadi. There is no way to predict whether the warts will grow or disappear. Therefore, if you suspect you have genital warts, you should be examined and treated, if necessary.

 

Depending on factors such as the size and location of the genital warts, a doctor will offer you one of several ways to treat them.

* Imiquimod, a topical immune response cream which you can apply to the affected area

 

* A 20% podophyllin anti-mitotic solution, which you can apply to the affected area and later wash off

* A 0.5% podofilox solution, applied to the affected area but shouldn’t be washed off

 

* A 5% 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) cream

 

* Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)

 

* Pulsed dye laser

 

* Liquid nitrogen cryosurgery

If you are pregnant, you should not use podophyllin or podofilox because they are absorbed by the skin and may cause birth defects in your baby. In addition, you should not use 5-fluorouracil cream if you are trying to become pregnant or if there is a possibility that you could be pregnant.

If you have small warts, the doctor can remove them by freezing them, burning them or with laser treatment. Occasionally, the doctor will have to use surgery to remove large warts that have not responded to other treatment.

Some doctors use the antiviral drug interferon-alpha, which they inject directly into the warts, to treat warts that have returned after removal by traditional means. The drug is expensive, however, and does not reduce the rate that the genital warts return.

Although treatments can get rid of the warts, they do not get rid of the HPV virus, so warts can recur after treatment. However, the body’s immune system typically clears the virus anywhere from 6 months to a year. There is even some suggestion that effective treatment of the wart may aid the body’s immune response.

Have you heard of Wartol? …it actually works!

6 So called “Health Foods”

 

One of the modules I teach in college is Nutrition. In the teaching class we have many interesting discussions on the different food groups and we also do a dietary analysis on what we eat each day. When we start  analysing foods it becomes obvious  that many foods out there marketed as “healthy” are anything but healthy.

Here are 6 foods that fall into that category

  1. Organic Crackers

According to food researchers from the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University, organic crackers deserve a place as a  top offender.  When we see the name “organic” we kind of assume the food would contain fewer calories and have less fat than the non-organic boxed crackers at your local grocery store.

Well that is not the case.  Processed foods are just that—processed and that means They means they usually contain a lot of sodium to make up the difference, and we usually end up eating twice as much because of that fact.

  1. Organic Cookies

These have all the right words that spell healthy and they may not have chemicals and artificial sugars  but they have natural sugars and these will add the pounds

  1. Diet Soda

This is a debate that has gone on for a while .Are diet soda any good  and are they better for you over regular sodas . the truth lies that neither are good for us. Diet sodas are full of artificial sweeteners which have the effect of making us want to drink more. They also contain aspartame which is a poison and over time can result in symptoms like those of Multiple sclerosis.

  1. Bottled Juice

These are marketed as green juices and health smoothies. Some of them can contain as much as 50 grams of sugar ..about 10 spoonfuls!

Drinking these drinks on a regular basis can lead to all sorts of problems like heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

.

  1. Granola

This is my favourite. So many people think that this is a healthy muesli but  let me assure you that Granola is full of sugar and fat.

Some people will argue that it contains nuts and seeds and also oats which give us fibre but the problem comes from the fact that the recommended amount is a quarter cup and most of us would eat an awful lot more.

  1. Lean Frozen Cuisine

This are easy to pop into the oven when you get home after a days work. The servings are small and so sometimes one is not enough .To preserve frozen meals they are packed with chemicals and artificial ingredients like sugar and MSG  [Monosodium glutamate]

Both of these 2 badies effect the hypothalamus,the message centre which tells the body it is full
