Here’s a quick riddle for you. It’s everywhere because almost everyone wants it. Yet, most never achieve it. What is it? It is weight loss. You can’t flip through the pages of a magazine or the channels on cable TV without being bombarded by advertisements for a new breakthrough miracle weight loss solution. It seems like everyone has the answer yet there are so many people that are still overweight.
Being overweight for a long time can have many detrimental health issues, such as Stroke, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes Type 2, and Osteoarthritis. Statistics say that 2 out of every 3 people are overweight. Some of us are even severely overweight…obese. Why does carrying extra weight matter? It matters because it jeopardizes our good health and our very lives. Many of us are motivated to lose weight because we hope to look better. That’s a normal aspiration, but looking good is not as significant as our health.
At New Century Spine Centers in San Diego, the chiropractors perform nutrition and back stretching classes once a month for their patients. Back pain affects many people. Up to eighty percent of all adults will have at least a single episode of back pain during their life. 50% of those people will never find out the cause of their pain. The most common cause of back pain is a muscular strain or sprain. This is the culprit in around 85% of the cases. Many people will try a variety of home remedies for their back pain, some with very limited success. Others may go to the doctor, however, they will find that the doctors think that 80-90% of all episodes of back pain will clear up on their own, usually in six to twelve weeks time. Sometimes, however, back pain can lead to long term disability.
Have you been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and still don’t understand where the causes of your symptoms came from? Were you just put on antidepressants or anti-inflammatory drugs? Fibromyalgia did not emerge in the medical literature until the late 20th century and to this day does not have clear diagnostic criteria. In 1990 the American College of Rheumatology published their criteria for the classification of Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS). These criteria consist of only two parts: (1) chronic, widespread pain that has been present for three months, and (2) pain elicited by palpation of specific tender points, more specifically 11 of 18 predetermined sites. Today FMS include chronic pain, specific tender points, fatigue, irritable bowel, headache, cold sensitivity, atypical patterns of sensation, exercise intolerance, anxiety, depression, dysmenorrhea, bruxism, and other symptoms associated with increased nervous system activity.

British scientists examined 300 people who became severely obese at a young age. This research was done to determine whether a faulty gene was involved that may have caused them to become obese. Researchers were looking specifically at the gene in charge of the leptin receptor. Leptin is a hormone in the body that controls appetite and can influence how much we feel like eating. It has been formerly implicated in animal obesity studies.
In Texas, a United States Representative named Ron Paul introduced a bill that would potentially curb restrictions imposed by the Food and Drug Administration and the FTC regarding health claims for diet supplements. Why would he do that in this instance? Aren’t these restrictions good for the consumer to make sure they don’t get ripped off by snake oil salesmen making false claims to the public?
If someone you love or you are a “worry-wart”, reading the rest of this article may prevent several deadly diseases and add years to your life. Allow me to explain. Why some people are healthy and others get sick has been a researched and heavily debated topic for a long, long time. Some give almost all the credit to genes. Basically you are pre-programmed at birth. Mother nature has dealt you a certain “hand” and that’s it. You will either be healthy, or sick, and there is nothing much you can do about it.
