Obesity is the generalized accumulation of excess fat in your body. The carbohydrates and protein stores in the body are limited. Increased fat intake, on the other hand, doesn't stimulate fat oxidation; thus, long standing positive fat balance results in Obesity.

Fat is overeaten because it is highly palatable and because it provides a high level of energy in a given volume of food.

You become overweight by eating more than you need, and the easiest foods in which to overindulge are fatty and sugary ones. Once you are overweight you only need to eat a very little extra - if any - to serve your excess weight

Are you Overweight? If yes then do read On

Nobody wants to be fat or obese. A fat person not only looks older, he/she is also prone to diabetese, heart attacks, high blood pressure, back ache, breathlessness, sexual problems, immobility, gall bladder diseases, osteoarthritis etc. A fat person is always the cynosure of all eyes. People look at him with suspicion and comment on his appearance, thus causing undue stress. A fat person is difficult to operate upon and takes longer to recuperate. Obesity leads to untold problems and shortens the life span. Consequently a fat person often finds himself depressed and worried.

It is important to remember that nothing is impossible if the will to succeed dominates. Success comes automatically and once success is tasted, it changes the entire lifestyle and makes you the role model for others.

Women Health Care

Whenever there is a talk on health issues, women health is one of the elements, which is often left unnoticed. The fact is taken for granted that women are by nature strong and therefore it is always assumed that they will have the least number of ailments. This is not a correct view at any point. The truth is that, women folk suffer from scores of illnesses but the only thing is that most of them never really reveal the fact. Women health care is essentially important so that women can remain fit and healthy.

The ability of the women to undergo all the pain and to sustain still makes the fact unrevealed that they also need health care to the core. In very few instances women health care is given importance and this is the reason, major ailments in women are detected in the last stage in most of the cases and at that time there remains very limited scope to treat them well.

We can take a small example in this regards. In most of the cases, we think that, the mother who is an absolute homemaker is the luckiest individual to live in utmost bliss, away from all the stressful work loads and deadlines. It is only when after a long stretch of gap when she falls sick momentarily, then we realize that to what greater horizons she has managed the entire home affair satisfying each and every inmate of it.
The household almost comes to a standstill, if the woman of the house becomes ill. Many times, its also been seen that she has turned seriously ill and it had been a matter of a long time and no one ever knew it. Hence women health care is very important. The cause is not that, she never told but it is our sole negligence that we never wanted to know or attempted taking the extra bit of care.

Women health care always needs extra attention in regards to their health especially after they reach the age of 30. They should follow healthy diet regimen otherwise they will be suffering from different types of disease and illness. So try to maintain a healthy diet to avoid any kind of health complications. Some of the common illness which women suffer from is migraine, osteoporosis, anemia, weakness, anxiety, and depression. Do not neglect your health and delay treating your ailment if you have one, you may be badly affected with time.

How to Improve Your Nail Health : The Quick Way?

Whether it is fingernails or toenails, nail is dead tissue (can we say tissue?) as there is no nerve ending in a nail. But these are made up of a protein known as keratin. Interesting this dead part grows at the rate of about 2.5 to 3 millimeters in a months’ time and to grow to a full size a time of about 5-6 months is needed. Toenails although require one to one and half years of time for full growth and development. It should be understood that nail growth is linked to general health of an individual, season, heredity as well as exercise. It indeed would be surprising to note that a person’s health used to be ascertained in the earlier days with a look at his nails. A discolored, thickened, brittle nail indicate that the person is suffering from major illness.

Even today, when a diabetes patient walks into a physician’s room, More…he first gives a look at his nails to make sure all is well with his blood sugars and that is the impression a nail can give about your health or anything thereof! Truly reflecting your health. Therefore, one cannot ignore these no-silly no-nerve-ending horn-like structures and take a good care of them.

Beauty Tips

Highlight your lips with color-rich lipsticks

                                 Lipsticks bring out your smile and can make your lips look totally kissable. No makeup has to power to transform like long lasting lipsticks and most women say they feel naked without it. A necessary part of a polished look and often the last thing a woman will do is apply lipstick before leaving the house. No other cosmetic is easier to apply and lip liners, lip gloss, and lipsticks help make a woman feel sexy and self-assured. If you can color in a coloring book, you can color your lips and with enough practice you won't even need to use a mirror.

              

             Lipsticks are composed of pigment, which determines its color; wax, which gives lipstick its shape and emollients or oils which moisturize and carry the color. The five basic formulas are sheer, shimmer, cream, matte and long-lasting. Flavored lip-gloss and moisturizing glosses are also desirable for a different twist and shiny lips. Lip liners shape your lip and make it easier to apply the lipsticks.

The lips are an extremely vulnerable part of the body, and lipsticks should provide protection. A good lipstick will moisturize the lips and shield them from the sun. These days the most lubricious lipsticks contain moisturizers like Vitamin E, collagen and amino acids and some contain sunscreen for protection. Women over 50 usually look better with a cream lipsticks rather than a matte or gloss and in a pinch your lipsticks can double as a blush. Carry a stash of different lipsticks in daring shades in your purse for different occasions, outfits, and moods.

 

Chiken pox tips

Chicken-Pox Vaccine 

Risks or side effects of the new chicken-pox vaccine?

Answer: 'The chicken-pox vaccine is usually well tolerated,' says E. Lawrence Hoder, MD, from the Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine at Lahey Medical Center in Burlington, Massachusetts. 'The most common side effects associated with the vaccine are pain and redness at the injection site.'

Other reported side effects include respiratory tract illness, chills, fever, irritability, fatigue, sleep disturbance, gastrointestinal disturbance, rashes, itching, and joint and muscle aches, although these symptoms have not yet been positively identified as being vaccine related. Approximately three to five percent of vaccinated individuals develop a chickenpox-like rash within 5 to 30 days from vaccination. 

Causes
Chicken pox is caused by exposure to a highly contagious airborne varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The illness typically begins with fever, malaise and a rash. The rash begins as flat red patches that evolve into patches with a central blister, the classic “dew drop on a rose petal.” These patches then dry and scab. New eruptions occur daily for four to seven days. The average child gets a total of 500 chicken pox sores.

Complications in healthy children are unusual but include secondary skin bacterial infections, neurologic complications, hepatitis and Reye’s Syndrome (a serious illness that can cause recurrent vomiting, liver problems and seizures). For most children, chicken pox will be a fairly benign illness. The economic consequences due to lost time at work for caregivers usually far outweighs any health risk. For adults and immunocompromised persons, however, infection with chicken pox may cause severe complications, such as pneumonia that requires hospitalization.

“Once a person has had chicken pox, he or she will usually have a lifelong immunity to the disease,” says Dr. Hoder. “Rarely, however, a person will experience a second, milder case of chicken pox later in life.” It is important for parents to understand that having the vaccine may not provide such protection. The need for revaccination has not yet been determined. Similar to measles vaccine, a “booster” dose may be required.

Vaccinations
Currently, the American Association of Pediatricians recommends a vaccination for all susceptible children greater than one year of age. As of August 1998, the State of Massachusetts requires the vaccine (or a physician-certified reliable history of chicken pox) for entrance into daycare or preschool for children who are 19 months or older and who were born on or after January 1997; by the 1999-2000 school year, vaccinations will be required for entrance into kindergarten or for those children already in school, for entrance into 7th grade.

When Not to Vaccinate
The chicken pox vaccine should not be administered to adults or children who have the following conditions:

•          A history of hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine, including gelatin
•          A history of an allergic reaction to neomycin
•          Blood disorders (other than simple anemia) or cancer
•          A condition or treatment resulting in an immunosuppressed state, for example, immunoglobulin deficiency, AIDS, or corticosteroid therapy
•          A family history of an immunodeficiency
•          Active, untreated tuberculosis
•          Any illness that produces a fever
•          Pregnancy (or a considered pregnancy in the three-month period following administration of the vaccine)

Precautions
Individuals who receive the vaccine should avoid taking aspirin (salicylate) for at least six weeks after the vaccination. Because vaccinated individuals may be able to transmit the virus to close contacts, vaccinated persons should avoid close association with susceptible, high-risk persons. This risk of transmission is probably small and is more likely to occur if the vaccinated individual developed a rash after vaccination.

Weight Loss

Although it is very important to know exactly what you are putting into your body, this is especially true for the person that has committed to achieving a weight loss goal through dieting.

Knowing the foods that you plan to eat and the vitamin content that they hold can be very important to achieving your weight loss goal, and all the while also being able to maintain a strong and healthy body.

 Part of the information that can be important during weight loss is various items that contain fat soluble vitamins, which would include vitamins A, D, E, and K.

These fat soluble vitamins these fat soluble vitamins are then used by the body as they are needed. Consuming too many can be toxic and cause heart and liver problems, vomiting, and nausea.
