Banishing soft drinks, fast food and increasing exercise would reverse Obesity Pandemic.

Breaking news from The Center For The Lack of Common Sense:

Five Philadelphia elementary schools replaced sodas with fruit juice. They scaled back snacks and banished candy. They handed out raffle tickets for wise food choices. They spent hours teaching kids, their parents and teachers about good nutrition.

What have they got to show for it?

The number of kids who got fat during the two-year experiment was half the number of kids who got fat in schools that didn’t make those efforts.

Juice Plus

Juice Plus Vitamin

With this supplement, many say it is a concentrated fruit juice powder or vegetable powder, referring to the final Juice Plus+ product that is put into a capsule. Like our Weight loss plan that is a doctor approved diet plan, this is a healthy choice. A diet and weight loss plan that is endorsed by healthy dieters around the world, you can always lose weight, but are you doing it the healthy way?

Medifast Diet

You can also use Medifast to support your weight loss efforts. Their meals are good for this purpose. Oprah's Dr. Mehmet Oz knows that a diet is temporary but a healthy lifestyle with a healthy diet plan in place is for good. Even Juice plus+ is made from the juice from an orange and many other fruit juices, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added - that doesn't make sense! Add fountain water without some breville and juice fountain, although if you had a tablespoon of the fruit juice powder, then adding more juice can be a convenient way to get nutrients but more convenient when it's in a capsule. (that may not make sense either!) When I can't have those healthy and fresh products, I use juice plus vitamin, and juice nsa plus is a way to get healthy with juice plus vitamin. If you are a distributor juice plus, then the gummies juice plus is juice plus supplement to look into. The juice plus scam that we see does not hold much credence - just a bitter old man that has nothing better to do with his time, but it is a problem.

Medifast

You may have read a juice plus review that is similar to acai juice plus. If you are interested in any juice plus product and you want to learn if there are any benefits, then look at the juice plus research - there's plenty. Breville fountain juice plus is not one of the things that is available, but a complete juice plus line can be found at www.jpsupplement.com. There is another common product by Breville -it's a fountain of juice products that have health benefits. If you have a complaint with juice plus, then any distributor for juice nsa plus can help you. Juice noni plus is not something you can find when you try to buy juice plus. Every single ingredient juice plus has fiber juice plus and can be found in the capsules. Don't get ebay juice plus because you can't be sure of the quality. You may use to find inc juice nsa plus for you diet, but don't expect to use a breville fountain. If you look for the capsules or the pills - don't be confused it's not a weight loss plan, Dr Oz Diet, be sure to consider thins, the vineyard, and even the gummy. There is dog juice plus and gummy juice plus, too. Use juice plus for any pregnancy as a perfect alternative to most vitamins on the market. There is a juice plus study, actually many that validate the quality and effectiveness of the nutrition. Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables, then with a cup of vitamins and a tablespoon of apples, you get a healthy Medifast start. When you start with a juice, and then you add another, you get a healthy combination. Juice plus is made with an orange, a lot of orange juice, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added. Also, there are many weight loss plans out there, but the one that most people agree is the best is a weight loss diet plan, Dr Oz diet approved diet plan. If you have used a plan endorsed by doctors such as Dr Oz, then you know it's a weight loss plan that is healthy, and if followed will lead to a permanent healthy and fit lifestyle! When I have fresh fruits and vegetables in my diet plan, I know I'm going to be healthy, but sometimes we just don't get enough. And one sure way to add more nutrition to your diet.

Ya think?

So what they learned is that if you teach kids about healthy eating habits and exercise and you make those foods available for them and GET RID of the junk; i.e. Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Snicker's bars (w/ or without caffiene aka Snicker's Charged and it's 60 MG of Caffiene!) that kids lose weight? well knock me over with a feather!

Our world is really messed up. I got this email from a friend the other day:

Corporate America owns chain restaurants. Moms and Pops own smaller restaurants. The restaurants enter into contracts with soda manufacturers who pay out (sometimes large incentive amounts) to the restaurants to procure exclusive soda sales rights. The restaurants sell soda at prices cheaper than milk or even tea in some cases. The restaurants sell soda in larger servings than those accorded other drinks. The restaurants will provide free re-fills for the sodas, but not for the healthier alternatives, i.e. milk. This is especially problematic for parents on a budget.

Thus, their children end of being served larger quantities of the soda for a cheaper price, effectively "habitizing" the children to drink soda in rediculous quantities at an earlier age. My kids were charged $2.50 per glass of milk at a recent lunch. They each had two glasses. That is $20 for milk at lunch. Unlimited soda would have cost $5. The lunch for the four kids cost $24.00, excluding the drinks.

Lunch with soda: $29
Lunch with milk:$44
Tip with soda $6
Tip with milk $9
$35 gross cost of lunch with soda
$53 gross cost of lunch with milk
$18 increase in the cost of a lunch for four kids at a mid range restaurant just to avoid having the kids consume soda. That is an increase of over 50% to avoid having your kids poisoned by soda.
Something is not right in Oz.

No, something is indeed wrong in Oz!

Will Irresponsible Advertising Continue on TV?

This article appeared on MSNBC.com which clearly states to "Skip all Soda", a first step in a well known diet plan -The Vice Busting Diet - due to the high amounts of sugar and therefore calories and the unhealthy nature of those beverages. But with Coca-Cola being one of the biggest corporate advertisers in the world, you find it hard to believe that such a recommendation would be given on the network's website. These are good points in this article, but you don't usually here this one on such a site because they would not want to offend their big money advertisers. This is why you never see a 'Skip all Fatty Fast Foods" because the biggest fast food restaurant in the would never allow it. Nonetheless, here is an excerpt of the article --

Let it slip that you’re trying to slim down and suddenly everyone you meet is a weight loss expert. Don’t eat white food, they’ll say. Drink gallons of water. Don’t eat after 5 P.M.

It may be impossible to avoid unsolicited diet advice, but with SELF’s help, now you’ll know what’s worth listening to. We put nine diet strategies to the test, recruiting 27 women to try one tip for three weeks. The results were impressive—one woman lost 11 pounds in only three weeks! We learned not only what works but also which habits stick. Incorporate the behaviors that work for you and soon people will start asking you for weight loss advice.

Skip all soda
At roughly 225 calories a pop, a 20-ounce bottle packs nearly the same calories as a chocolate bar but is far less satisfying. Diet soda is no body bargain, either. For every can you sip daily, your risk of becoming overweight rises by 37 percent, researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio found. Other studies hint at why: Regular use of artificial sweeteners may interfere with the body’s ability to estimate calories you’ve ingested, so you eat beyond what you need. Read more...

Comments: There's no doubt that this is helpful advice on ways to reduce the unhealthy calories in order to reach a healthy weight. But be sure as you embark on any changes in your diet, that you're doing so with the intention that you're going to live a healthy life. The by-product of those changes will be a healthy body, and you'd certainly like to maintain that healthy and fit body for good. So start with some simple changes and work up to a permanently healthy lifestyle. You can help your efforts with a sensible meal plan.

To Use Medifast or Not, That is the Question

Those who have read our blog have asked why Medifast is recommended when we make it clear that a healthy diet should be all about natural foods like fruits and vegetables instead of someone else's diet plan. While that is true, people still don't take up the cause to improve their health and do the actions that would bring about a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, with a Medifast plan it is easier to follow the diet that is already organized in the hopes of getting weight loss going. Medifast is a meal plan, not so much a plan for building a healthy lifestyle. So while a healthy lifestyle is the goal, Medifast can at least be a choice that will help you move in that direction. And anything we can help you do that is better than what you're doing now, is going to help you get to where you want to go - weight loss and fitness and better health.

So if you aren't following the transitional steps to lose the weight and build a healthy lifestyle with The Vice Busting Diet Plan, or maybe you aren't following it exactly and you need help with a meal plan, then by all means you can try Medifast. We'll continue to recommend fruits and vegetables and daily exercise, and drinking water over any other beverage, but Medifast will be there as an option to help you get started while you put all those other healthy actions in place.

If you are interested in a meal plan to assist with your weight loss and health, Medifast provides a diet that makes it easy to plan the foods and meals you will eat. Click here - Medifast - to try the Medifast diet meal plan to help you get started losing weight. Medifast is physician-developed.

Note: Because most people are not getting their daily recommended intake of fruits and vegetables, we recommend a supplement to make up for this deficiency.

World Health Day - Diet, Fitness, and Healthy Lifestyle Should be the Focus

While you may hear about World Health Day and the focus on such debatable claims like 'global warming' and the challenges faced with a rise in the Earth's temperature, but there are bigger issues at stake. For starters, the health of mankind needs to be mentioned from a diet and fitness level. Although this may sound much less important than trying to eradicate deadly diseases like AIDS or malaria, the fact is that many more diseases will be present and many more lives at stake in years to come, without a focus on a quality food supply. Just because mankind can be fed, doesn't mean that mankind is going to be healthy, only perhaps survive another day. Without wholesome foods grown on good quality soil full of nutrients and trace minerals and the like, the immune systems of all living things could be compromised to the point of making a common cold a common risk of death. Sounds extreme but even HIV positive patients see a great benefit to a very strict diet that enhances their immune system and leaves out processed foods that can deplete its strength.

How is it that food could be the basis for good health for all? Is it the hundreds of nutrients present in whole foods that we don't hear about or aren't talked about? Maybe these healthy sources of nutrition are overshadowed by marketing efforts of the big burger places and soft drink makers. It's not unrealistic to think that society will lose many of the nutrients that are very important to supporting good health and preventing disease much the same way that certain species are now extinct. Afterall, genetically modified seeds have made their way into the food system in a BIG way. What effect is this having? Will we know anytime soon?

A healthy diet and lifestyle should be the focus of World Health Day, instead of what citizens are doing that may be raising the temperature of the Earth. Sure we need to make diseases like Malaria and Small Pox obsolete. Anything that we have vaccines for should be practically non-existent with a concerted effort. But the big problem that supercedes these is the foundation of health - diet. What you decide to eat will determine whether or not we, together, the farmers that provide fruits and vegetables will still be in existence in years to come. They won't be needed if they have a product that no one wants. Make the choice to eat more fruits and vegetables. Increase the demand, while decreasing the demand for hamburgers, soft drinks, potato chips, or any other processed foods. The collective choices of the citizens of the planet is what ultimately will decide where the future of the World lies.

The World Health Organization (WHO) was (apparently) founded on this day, and I suppose that's the reason for this day as World Health Day. Maybe a healthy diet day should be started to help increase awareness of what a healthy diet really is. Is it french fries, hot dogs, pizza, soft drinks, cereal (and I don't mean Oatmeal here!), and pastries? Most of the foods offered that have been pre-packaged - that is, already made and can be eaten out of the box or heated - are missing hundreds of important nutrients for supporting your health. There isn't one food or soft drink manufacturer or fast food restaurant that would be behind a World Healthy Diet Day as described. They would lose hundreds of millions of dollars just in one day.

With a healthy diet you can expect weight loss if you need it; you can expect more energy if you seek it; you can expect your IQ to go up if you want it. You may see your income go up, your relationships improve (oh yeah? you don't think your sex life is better with more energy and a slimmer body?), your creative thoughts and productivity as a person may improve. These are all things, and more, that have been noticed by individuals who make the effort to improve their health by changing what they eat. A healthy diet plan is just the beginning to a healthy lifestyle.

If you really want to make World Health Day something to talk about, then give up the top contributors to the overweight and obesity epidemic - soft drinks, fast foods, and any other packaged foods that aren't made with the intent to IMPROVE and SUPPORT your health.

Promoting Medifast - World Health Day Needs a New Diet

You've heard World Health Day is April 7th, or maybe you haven't.

Not many people may because news services may just make this a quick mention that isn't given much airtime or print space. But this blogger's purpose is to try to wake up the world to the real threat of mankind (no, it's not global warming!). That threat is our food supply.

How many people are there on the Earth? How much food is needed to feed them? If you said there isn't a problem with enough food, it's getting the food to people who don't have access to it, then you're only partially right. The problem goes much further than just not getting food to those who need it. You don't see Coca-Cola having a problem getting their product into third-world countries - ok, other than a few political hurdles. You also see a rise in tooth decay, overweight citizens, and an entire gamut of health problems show up within 1 year of soft drink introduction in these countries. Same goes for fast food restaurants (names you know, obviously!)

The food supply is not the issue. The quality of foods and our water supply is the issue. Health problems can be traced to a poor diet - one that is void of fruits and vegetables and filled with high-fructose corn syrup-filled products and fatty foods and processed foods and everything else that's not fruits and vegetables. Even fruits and vegetables are seeing a compromise to their quality, due to poor soil conditions, environmental pollutants, and probably even competition to turn out an inexpensive product so consumers won't be deterred from purchasing them.

So while we have the ability to feed the world - and some reports say many times over every day - we do not have the proper supply of nutrient-rich food to supply the entire population on Earth. Think of the numbers of fruits and vegetables that have to be available everyday if every citizen on Earth was to consume just 5 servings per day - that would be something close to 20 Billion pieces of fruit or vegetables? If you haven't seen this world clock that shows some interesting figures about the Earth's population, check it out.

It's time to wake up and realize that each person's diet choices each day is important to the future health of our planet. Choose fruits and vegetables more often and more quality fruits and vegetables will show up (eventually). Keep choosing fast foods and soft drinks and those companies will keep making them and keep counting their money while we all get sicker. It's the law of supply and demand. A healthy diet demands healthy foods, and healthy foods will become more predominant than unhealthy ones. The choice is yours, it's ours. The future health of our planet depends on all of us and our choices.

If you need to make a transition to a healthier lifestyle, there are some things you can do to get moving in that direction. If you are interested in a meal plan to assist with your weight loss and health, Medifast provides a diet that makes it easy to plan the foods and meals you will eat.

Do this and add more fruits and vegetables to your diet and help support a healthy planet.

A Healthy Lunch part of a Healthy Diet

Lunch is a very important meal - one that needs to keep your metabolism going and provide you the energy for the afternoon stretch. Most people we find not bringing their own lunch to work, but instead buying. In my experience, not only is buying more expensive to you and adds up quickly if you're on a budget, but it's most often compromising to your health, especially when you can better control what you're going to eat when you make your own at home. You can get what you need at the supermarket, prepare it exactly how you like it, and be sure that the fruit and or vegetable that you want is included. And believe me, all of this is going to be cheaper than going somewhere and having someone prepare your sandwich. And if it's not more expensive, then be assured that it is certainly "garbage" that you're eating (i.e. fast food?).

Here's more from Michael Pollihan who agrees about most of what we consume being less-than-healthy-food -

According to Michael Pollan, most of what Americans consume isn't food. He calls it "edible foodlike substances." He also says that the way we consume it is not really eating. It's something we do pretty unconsciously as we work or drive or watch TV. We all know about the U.S. epidemic of obesity and diabetes over the past 25 years, on top of the steady rise of chronic diseases over the past hundred. Paradoxically, this happens just as Americans and the food industry are ever more aware of nutrition. What's going on here? Pollan claims that in the Western diet, good old food has been replaced by nutrients, mom's good advice by nutritional experts, common sense by confusion, and for most, a relatively good diet by a bad and dangerous one. The book in which he makes all these claims and advises us simply to "Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly plants," has topped the New York Times bestseller list. (from AlterNet.org)

Comments: Bottom line, most of what is offered at supermarkets, sporting events, bowling alleys, quick shops, fast food restaurants, and everywhere that has a shelf with a food item on it, is just not the best nutrition for our health. Start with those items that come from the garden, or the orchard.

Health Includes Vitamins and Minerals

While vitamins and minerals are the foundation for good health, most people do not consume enough each day. One vitamin that is essential for eye health is lutein. The human body is completely unable to produce enough lutein to sustain the eye so it is necessary for you to get this vitamin elsewhere. It is believed that your body needs at least 6mg of lutein each day for optimum eye health. Since it is difficult to get enough lutein in your diet through eating healthy foods, it is important to take lutein supplement. You can go through the manual in the package or bottle to make sure it contains the essential amount of lutein.

Vitamin C, Vitamin E, beta-Carotene (pro-Vitamin A) and Carotenoids (Lutein & Zeaxanthin) are strong antioxidants i.e. they protect the eye against free radical damage. It seems reasonable to assume that strengthening of the eye defences by increasing the intake of these vitamins would be helpful in preventing the chronic AgingEye diseases. Recent well designed and controlled studies seem to support this assumption. Lycopene (a different type of carotenoid found in tomatoes) protects against prostate cancer and heart disease - therefore the protective effect of these vitamins is not just restricted to the eye.

Among these are the antioxidant vitamins. The eye, especially the lens and the retina is particularly vulnerable to the effects of unchecked free radicals which are a byproduct of oxygen, cellular processes and environmental contaminants. Antioxidant vitamins help to combat free radicals. The primary antioxidant vitamins include Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. in addition to their important action against free radicals they promote healthy cells and tissues in the eye. Lutein and Zeaxanthin are two more valuable antioxidants that recent research has found to be especially effective in maintaining the good health of the eyes. read more...

Diet Plan

There are many benefits to getting to a healthy weight, but it all starts with the right weight loss plan. A cup of other vitamins and a tablespoon of apples, all for health. When you start with a diet from a fruit or vegetable, and then you add plenty of other healthy actions, you improve your overall health. If you delay your efforst for a life that includes more fitness and happiness, you may find that you cut your longevity short. But when you delve into a health - like our

weight loss plan

Medifast diet

with plenty of nutrients makes your diet plan much easier. When I can't have those healthy and fresh products, I know that I am not going to do my body much good. Because a diet that doesn't include a good balance of the right nutrition will leave me short of my weight loss goals. If you look for other products or pills for losing pounds - don't be confused by all the otherweight loss plans like Medifast that many people are familiar with. Now we also recommend if you are having trouble getting your diet plan situated, and you need some structure provided by someone else, then you consider using Medifast for your meals and snacks. It is a healthy alternative meal plan, although we don't necessarily recommend that you count on making it a permanent fixture in your life. Fresh fruits and vegetables are a necessary part of a healthy diet and that's what will support your health, and that you won't get from Medifast diet. That is also why we recommend other products to support your diet plan.

Comments: While a healthy diet includes plenty of vitamin and mineral-rich foods, the fact is that most Americans are deficient of the types of foods that will provide these nutrients, namely fruits and vegetables. There are plenty of reasons that the overall health of a nation will deteriorate over the years, and it's mainly due to a lack of good nutrition. If you'd like to learn about a healthy diet plan, and the way to make weight loss easy, with a plan that allows you to make a transition to a healthy and fit lifestly, visit www.juliahavey.com and learn more. This just may be the best thing considering the habits of most dieters.

Weight Loss and Diet Study - Calories Trigger Brain Response

A new study is pointing to calories as the culprit of the brain response that triggers an "addiction" to food. That is, more calories creates more "pleasure" as a response in the brain, and therefore more calories would be desirable again. This may be an oversimplification of the process, but the bottom line is that too many calories may trigger a response in the brain of pleasure, and the cycle of wanting more calories when it's time to eat again continues. While the wrong types of calories are too often consumed, the body then becomes deficient of healthy nutrients. For this reason, you may want to consider adding Vemma liquid nutrition to your daily diet. Vemma stands for Vitamins, Essential Minerals, Mangosteen, and Aloe. These are all great sources of nutrients, with a large percentage coming from plant based sources.

Here's more about the connection with calories and the brain as reported on Food Navigator --

A new animal study indicates that food calories, not just sweetness, can trigger a positive response in the brain - a breakthrough that could have implications for anti-obesity strategies and the food industry. Scientists have long known that there is a link between sweet taste and production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that provokes feelings of pleasure. Dopamine is produce in two areas of the brain - the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) of the ventral striatum, and the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC).

Weight loss

starts with a healthy diet with fruits and vegetables. Exercise is also an important if you want to get fit for the long haul. When you are at a healthy weight, your life may be a lot better - you can experience more things, have more energy, go to the doctor less, make more money, and even be happier. There are many benefits to getting to a healthy weight, but it all starts with the right weight loss plan. A cup of other vitamins and a tablespoon of apples, all for health. When you start with a diet from a fruit or vegetable, and then you add plenty of other healthy actions, you improve your overall health. If you delay your efforst for a life that includes more fitness and happiness, you may find that you cut your longevity short. But when you delve into a health - like our

Juice from Fruits and Vegetables Provides Nutrients

Many people are juicing their way to better health. The health benefits of eating five portions of fruits and vegetables a day are well known but despite our best efforts, it can be difficult to guarantee that you and your family stick to this all-important number. Finding the time to prepare nutritious meals can be hard with a busy schedule, and today it is more difficult than ever to maintain good health.

Studies have shown that vitamins and minerals are essential for overall health since they help us to ward off disease, increase our vitality and improve our mental performance. And, while there is no substitute for a healthy diet, many people are using juicing as a way to get their fruits and vegetable nutrients.

With the juice from fruits and vegetables containing plenty of healthy nutrients, there is an easier way you can create your own fresh, great tasting vitamin cocktail at home through juicing.

When you make a juice, you aren’t simply making a delicious drink; you are creating the ultimate health tonic packed with vitamins, minerals, the right sugars, the right fats, the right salts, water and amino acids (the building blocks for protein).

Now, the biggest drawback that we have found when juicing is... the cleanup! With so many parts and pieces of 'equipment' to rinse and clean, the task of juicing can be tedious and can get old. But using it once in awhile can be an enjoyable experience and even a nice Spring or Summer treat.

Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables into a vitamin supplement all in a capsule form. A cup of other vitamins and a tablespoon of apples and many other fruits, all for health. When you start with a juice from a fruit or vegetable, and then you add others, you get a healthy mix of nutrients with the water and sugars removed. But when you dry the mix, you are left with the nutrients and that is what goes into a Juice Plus+ Capsule. Many people are looking at grapefruit juice as an option. But can get what some say is the juice powder - that is, what's left when the sugar and water are removed through a drying process, and you are left with only healthy nutrients. Do you know the juices from which the fruit juice plus blend is made? Apples, oranges, pineapples, cranberries, peaches, cherries, and papaya juice - and that's just the fruit juices! Add the vegetables with carrots, parsley, beets, kale, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, and tomato and you've got the vegetable juice plus product, that is a healthy product that supports your health! It helps you get nutrients you need. When I have fresh fruits and vegetables, I feel good, but I don't always get enough. So the only one way to add more fruits and vegetables is to add more nutrition to my diet plan, weight loss plan, diet. With this supplement, many say it is a concentrated fruit juice powder or vegetable powder, referring to the final Juice Plus+ product that is put into a capsule. Like our Weight loss plan that is a doctor approved diet plan, this is a healthy choice. A diet and weight loss plan that is endorsed by healthy dieters around the world, you can always lose weight, but are you doing it the healthy way? You can also use Medifast to support your weight loss efforts. Their meals are good for this purpose.

Even Juice plus+ is made from the juice from an orange and many other fruit juices, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added - that doesn't make sense! Add fountain water without some breville and juice fountain, although if you had a tablespoon of the fruit juice powder, then adding more juice can be a convenient way to get nutrients but more convenient when it's in a capsule. (that may not make sense either!) When I can't have those healthy and fresh products, I use juice plus vitamin, and juice nsa plus is a way to get healthy with juice plus vitamin. If you are a distributor juice plus, then the gummies juice plus is juice plus supplement to look into. The juice plus scam that we see does not hold much credence - just a bitter old man that has nothing better to do with his time, but it is a problem. You may have read a juice plus review that is similar to acai juice plus. If you are interested in any juice plus product and you want to learn if there are any benefits, then look at the juice plus research - there's plenty.

Weight loss and drug claim to help hypertension

While weight loss and a healthy diet will help hypertension, a weight loss drug is being touted to help as well. A word of caution to anyone with high blood pressure - don't be lured by the marketing of a hypertension drug to help your blood pressure without considering whether or not your diet and lifestyle is the primary cause. The reason for the majority of HBP cases in the US is a diet high in fat and salt and a lack of exercise.

If you are overweight, your heart is going to work harder to pump blood throughout your body. The consequences of this most often leads to high blood pressure. The diastolic pressure is the pressure in your arteries when you are at rest, while systolic is the higher reading that is a messure of the pressure put on the arteries when the heart is beating. Systolic will fluctuate with exercise, among other factors (like being frightened!).

The best step to take when diagnosed with hypertension is to alter your diet and lifestyle. Too many processed foods (most!) contain too much salt, and even the wrong type of salt when present at acceptable levels. Your body is not deficient of Orlistat or any other medication. It is deficient of proper nutrition and exercise, and is being fed unhealthy foods and/or beverages.

Here's more from Science Daily on how diet and weight loss help with reducing blood pressure --

Adults with hypertension may be able to lower their weight and their blood pressure by following a weight-loss diet or using the medication orlistat, according to a meta-analysis of previously published studies. High blood pressure (hypertension) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is responsible for approximately 7 million deaths worldwide each year, according to background information in the article. Lowering blood pressure levels in those with hypertension has been shown to reduce cardiovascular risk, with corresponding decreases in illness and death. "Weight reduction is recommended in major guidelines as an initial intervention in the treatment of hypertensive patients," the authors write. "Among the possible means of reducing body weight are lifestyle modifications and pharmacologic and invasive interventions." read on...

Comment: When it comes to any medical condition, the first place you should look to improve your health is you - your diet, exercise habits, and overall lifestyle. You can manage most conditions just by diet and exercise alone, and if not, at least provide a majority of the benefits you seek to realize.

Diet Plans, Weight Loss Plans - Throw out the Fads

When it comes to weight loss, the public may just be having an awakening to the truth about the flavor of the month diet. Turns out that fad diets are becoming less popular than they once were. Of course, this may be a sign of the fact that there are no fad diets on the market right now that have that dieters' appeal! We hope the first explanation holds more truth, though. The message needs to continue that healthy choices and a healthy diet that is rich with nutrients from fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources is the way to not only weight loss, but a healthy weight and lifestyle. Lifestyle is what it's all about, permanently. As reported overseas, let's hope the same holds true in the US. Here's more from The Independent on the fade of fad --

Celebrities from Beyoncé to Victoria Beckham still swear by them, but for the mass of the British population it seems that the fad diet has lost its allure. Despite soaring obesity rates, research shows that people are turning their backs on so-called miracle diets that promise much but deliver little more than bad breath and short-lived relief in the tight trouser department.

The death of the diet is revealed in a report by Mintel, the market research firm. Sales of quick-fix slimming products have slumped by a third over the past five years to £79m in 2007, while the annual rate of growth in reduced fat, calorie or sugar products has slowed almost to a standstill. Manufacturers have cottoned on to this and are changing how they market diet versions of popular brands. The yogurt maker Muller is to start marketing Muller Light on its contents and taste – "thicker, creamier-tasting and even fruitier" – instead of its diet credentials. read on...
