Your 1. 6- month- old may cower, cry, and act downright terrified at the sound of a vacuum cleaner, a thunderstorm, a siren, fireworks, or a popping balloon. Offer calm reassurance. A hug and an acknowledgement of his feelings – . Show your child how he can cover his ears to give him some control. Your toddler will eventually outgrow a fear of noises as he gains an understanding of where they come from and that they're harmless. My 1. 6- month- old wants my attention most when I am busy in the kitchen, so to keep him occupied, I give him empty plastic jars with screw- on lids. He can play with them for a full 2. Tuning in to temperament. You've been picking up clues to your child's temperament from the day he was born. The way your 1. 6- month- old interacts with the world around him will tell you a lot about how he'll probably respond to different situations, people, places, and things as he gets older. Your child might be flexible and adapt easily to change – or he may need a more predictable schedule and plenty of advance warning before transitions. Pay attention to what works best for him. You know your child better than any book does. For example, if your child functions best on a solid afternoon nap, try to make sure he gets one. If he's reserved in new situations, give him extra time to warm up rather than insisting that he hug people he meets. He's depending on you to help him feel comfortable. By respecting his needs, you can help him learn to deal with the world. Sometimes you can modify your child's environment in small ways to help him stay engaged and avoid meltdowns. That said, it's not your job to make life fun and free of frustration. Your child will get upset and dissolve into tears and tantrums. It's all a normal part of how kids learn and grow, so don't take it personally! The Amazingly Effective Carb Cycling ? I’m going to show you how carb cycling can be adapted to create a long- term lifestyle, and I’ve created a carb cycling calculator that will show you exactly what your fat, carb, and protein intake should be. To help you out even more I’m giving you a free bonus at the end of the article. It’s a sample carb cycling meal plan you can use, so be sure you download it. What is Carb Cycling? Carb cycling is a way to make your fat loss more effective by cycling your carbohydrate intake between low, medium, and high days. Many people assume carb cycling is effective due to its insulin sensitivity boosting effects. And this is definitely true to an extent. Any time you reduce carbohydrates you make your cells more receptive to carbohydrates when they are reintroduced. This is simply due to GLUT- 4 receptors being translocated to muscle cells. All this means is that when you are glycogen depleted, either through reduced carbohydrate intake or through intense exercise, your muscle cells are demanding carbohydrates and will preferentially store them in the muscle instead of fat. But I argue that this is not the main reason why carb cycling is so effective. Instead, I think carb cycling’s benefits lie its ability to coexist with your lifestyle. Carb Cycling For Weight Loss. Yes, there are the physiological benefits laid out in the section above. And those benefits will affect your fat loss to a degree, but that degree is much smaller than people think. Instead, the benefits of carb cycling are due to its flexibility in meshing with your social behaviors. What in the world does that mean? It means you now have the ability to structure your calories in a way that your social schedule and physique goals can coexist. It means calories can be lower when your day is more predictable and they can be higher when you let loose with friends and family. This way you can plan your meals so you eat less when it’s easier and more socially acceptable, and eat more when the situation makes it more difficult to control your calories. Note: If you’re getting negative numbers or numbers that don’t make sense, you’ve entered in your stats wrong. The biggest mistake is the “height” entry. Make sure you enter your height in inches or centimeters. That means if you are 5’7, you would enter 6. Now these guidelines are flexible. You don’t need to hit them on the dot each day. Nor do you need to do them in the exact order they are shown. Instead, notice there are 3 low, 3 medium, and 1 high carb day. Fat and protein remain constant day to day. These 7 days should be arranged in a way that fits your social calendar. For example, my family has a very predictable Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, so the low carb days would be best utilized on these days. My wife and I tend to go and get sushi on Wednesday, and we eat more relaxed on Fridays and Saturdays by eating ready- made meals. These days are best suited for medium carb days since they are harder to control. Then on Sunday we usually watch football or do something else and let go a little. Our meals reflect this behavior and the high carb days fit perfectly here. When you average out the calories for the week we are still eating in a calorie deficit, but the deficit is easier to adhere to since it meshes better with our social schedule. And that, in my opinion, is the biggest benefit to carb cycling – its ability to improve adherence to a caloric deficit due to its lifestyle- coexisting capabilities. Because when it comes to weight loss that’s what matters most – maintaining a caloric deficit over a long period of time. And it’s also where most weight loss programs fail. Carb cycling makes this easier on you, and if you follow the guidelines laid out when you used the calculator, you’re going to do great losing weight. Carb Cycling Meal Plan. To give you a better idea of what carb cycling would look like in real life with real meals, I’ve put together a free bonus for you. Download your free 1 week carb cycling sample meal plan by clicking here. It’ll show you exactly what to eat on what days so that you’ll get all the lifestyle benefits of carb cycling.

Small boned or asthenic – 6 inches or less (1. Medium boned or normosthenic – 6 to 7 inches (1. Large boned or hypersthenic – 7 inches or more ( 1. For men: 1. Small boned or asthenic – 6 . Medium boned or normosthenic – 6 . Large boned or hypersthenic – 8 inches or more (2. Step 3 – Adjust Your Ideal Weight To Your Body Type. After you determined what your body type is, you have to adjust your ideal body weight accordingly. If you are small boned subtract 1. Here is an example: my height is 1. Step 1: My ideal weight according to Broca method is: 1. Step 2: I measure my wrist: it is 1. Step 3: I subtract 1. Hence, my adjusted ideal body weight is 6.

Today I want to show a pretty entertaining diet plan that I found last night. Last night, as my girlfriend was digging around her kitchen cabinets searching for a baking recipe, she came across a seemingly very old suggestion for a diet. She gave it to me to check out and share with the rest of you. The first thing I noticed was that the paper was pretty torn up and it looks like it could have been written on a typewriter. The other thing that caught my eye was that it was recommended from Kaiser Permanente, a very large managed care organization. So this must be all true, right? This plan is titled: Lose 1.

High Protein & Low Carb Diet“What should I feed my Beagle and how much?” It was the first question that came to my mind when we first brought our Beagle puppy home. Unlike other dog breeds, Beagles are typically eating machines and can literally eat themselves to death if given the opportunity to eat freely. They just love food and can eat just about anything they can fit in their ample mouths. While most dogs will stop at the amount of food they normally need to maintain the level of exercise they usually get, Beagles, however, have a tendency to eat all the food they can get. If not supervised properly, Beagles can become overweight very easily and possibly obese. That’s why it’s very important, for your dog’s health and active lifestyle, to feed him according to a proper dietary plan. This article will not only give you insight on what is the best dog food for Beagles, but will also tell you what you need to know to make eating a pleasure for your little hound. Our Top Picks for Best Dog Food for Beagles*Note: Above ratings are based on our experience with the product and/or expert opinions. Click the link above to read customer reviews and see the current prices on Amazon. They are typically 1. Generally, Beagles need 5. But a lot of it depends on the activity level of your dog as well. ![]() Cal. Typical Adults Beagle. Cal. Active/Hunting Beagle. Note: The estimated calorie requirements below are primarily based on the average weight of Beagles. Before making any significant changes in your dog’s diet, please consult with a veterinarian. An average adult Beagle weighs around 2. This is the level of exercise apartment dogs usually get. But if you live on a farm or go on tracking or hunting very often where your dog also gets to run a lot, then you should increase the protein content in his diet. Hunting Beagles burn calories at a much faster rate and they should get as much as 1. However, Beagles over 7 years old are typically less active and need fewer calories. Older dogs should consume as few calories as 5. Spotlights the broad range of fraud and quackery in the weight loss field. Before you start feeding your dog, you need to understand the activity level of your Beagle. If you are not feeding your dog accordingly, you are pushing him towards being overweight or obese. Just like humans, being overweight puts dogs at higher risk of many health- related problems like arthritis, diabetes, heart diseases, breathing problems, respiratory distress and can develop serious joints/bones complications. This can also reduce the length and quality of your dog’s life. So, the food your dog eats plays an important role in his overall health and well- being. Micronutrient Requirements for Beagles. A typical Beagle needs about 6. You should divide the amount of food into two meals a day: one in the morning and one in the evening. But on days when you give him special treats, reduce the amount of food from his main meal. Always buy high- quality dog food for Beagles because it contains easily digestible proteins, vegetables, and fruits that usually result in less waste and smaller stools. ![]() Protein. Protein is made up of amino acids, which are responsible for creating strong muscles and repairing old body tissues. It’s one of the most important part of a Beagle’s diet. Typical sporting dogs, such as Beagle, require a protein- rich diet to fuel their active lifestyle, especially if your dog is involved in hunting or tracking. Most veterinarians and experts will recommend 2. Beagle’s diet based on the activity level. However, recent research undertaken by Dr. Dan Carey at Cornell University shows that extra protein helps reduce injuries in sporting dogs like Beagles. If your dog stays in an apartment environment, then we recommend giving 2. For a working and hunting Beagle, you must include at least 4. Extra protein in their daily diet increases their blood volume, a state that is very common among human athletes in their peak performance. The main sources of protein are meat, vegetables and grains, but not all protein sources are created equal. For example, most dogs can digest proteins that come from meat more easily than proteins that come from grains. Fats. Fat is another important component of your dog’s diet. Fats play significant role in keeping your dog’s hair and skin healthy and shiny. Fats also help promote healthy digestion and keep your Beagle’s body temperature stable. Adult dogs need about 2. But most of the time you don’t need to worry about giving the proper amount of fats to your dog because fat can easily and sufficiently be found in any dog food and treats as it is commonly added to increase the taste of the dog food. Vitamins and Minerals. Vitamins and minerals must be included in a dog food to help him maintain a good health. Vitamin A helps your dog in maintaining good and healthy skin as well as hair while vitamin E helps his immune system and prevents many health and behavioral problems. Vitamin B9 and iron help him with anemia. Fruits and vegetables are the main sources of vitamins and minerals. That’s why these are one of the major ingredients in almost all popular dog food brands. Carbohydrates. Traditionally, experts have included carbohydrates on the list of must- have nutrition for dogs, but these days, a large number of experts do not agree with it. Most veterinarians now suggest including none or very low carbohydrates in a dog’s diet because most common sources of carbohydrates, such as wheat and corn, are not easily digested by dogs and may cause some allergic reactions and gastric problems. That’s why there is no minimum recommended level of carbohydrates in dog food. Even excluding carbohydrates completely from a dog’s diet doesn’t deprive him of robust health. Although you can feed him higher quality grains, such as barley, brown rice, oatmeal and sweet potatoes, instead of feeding him wheat, corn and soya- based dog food. Water. It is a common misconception that your Beagle will only consume as much water as he needs since it’s very easily accessible. However, this is far from the truth. Sporting dogs such as Beagles, are very likely to develop dehydration issues which can affect their body and overall health. Typically, Beagles need 1 ounce of water for each pound of their body weight while puppies require a bit more than that. If an adult Beagle weighs around 2. Nutritional Ingredients to Avoid. As we all know, Beagles have a pretty strong appetite for food and are prone to eating whatever they can get their paws on. But there are some things that you should avoid feeding your beloved dog. If you buy dog food from the market, then read the ingredients carefully before you buy. Always go with high- quality dog food for your Beagle. Although high- quality dog food can be a little more expensive, you will save more money on vet’s bills in the long run. Always choose a dog food brand that does not include low- quality grains such as wheat, corn or soya as their top ingredients. Beagle’s digestion system does not sit well with grains because not only are these tougher to digest than any other food, they also may cause allergic reaction. Beagles need to eat real meat. Many manufacturers fulfill meat and protein requirement by adding meat by- products in their dog foods. Meat by- products are not healthy for dogs as they are mainly parts from animals that are not considered healthy for human consumption. Meat by- products are not only low in protein but also contain animal cognitive tissues and bones. Sometimes these come from animals that have died during transportation, expired supermarket meats and diseased animals, which is unhygienic too. Also avoid fillers at any cost. Fillers are ingredients with zero nutrients and zero calories. They are added to make dog food bag look bigger and to fill your dog’s stomach. As these don’t possess any nutritional value, they pass right through dog’s stomach and can cause gas problems. You must also avoid dog food products containing salt, sugar, artificial coloring and flavor as these cause allergic reactions in dogs. Common Health Problems in Beagles. Beagles are generally a healthy breed but there are some problems that you need to be informed about. The most common health problems in Beagles are epilepsy, allergies, cherry eyes, hypothyroidism, hip dysplasia and back problems. While some of the health problems cannot be eliminated from the breed, there are many that can be avoided by feeding him healthy and balanced diet. Hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is caused by a malfunction in the Beagle’s thyroid gland where it is no longer capable of producing sufficient hormones to sustain the dog’s clinical health. The symptoms are rapid weight gain, dull coat, hair loss, extreme intolerance for cold weather and chronic skin disorders. If you notice rapid weight gain in your Beagle without changing diet or exercise, then your dog might have Hypothyroidism. This condition can be treated with daily thyroid hormone supplement and by avoiding low quality carbohydrate sources such as wheat and corn. Allergies. Just like humans, Beagles can also have allergic reactions for a number of different reasons. In some dogs, it can be a seasonal issue while in others it can be caused by diet. The common symptoms are constant scratching, long- term ear infections, loss of fur and dull coat. This can be treated by antihistamines and changes in high- quality, low- carbohydrate diet. Anemia. A decrease in red blood cells count in blood stream is commonly called Anemia. Red blood cells in blood are responsible for carrying oxygen to cells and tissues of the body. If your dog is anemic then his body parts will not be able to get sufficient oxygen that they need, resulting in weakness, depression, loss of appetite and any other serious problems. Your Beagle should get enough iron in his diet to avoid anemia. Fish, beef and animal liver are good sources of iron in dog’s diet. In the case of severe anemia, you should consult with your vet immediately. How to Increase Leptin Levels and Reverse Leptin Resistance. What is Leptin? The hypothalamus then stimulates metabolic processes that results in weight loss. It is produced by fat cells (adipocytes) which specialise in storing energy as fats, so the more overweight you are, typically, the higher your leptin levels. Researchers now realise fat is actually an active organ that produces leptin and other hormones as well as various inflammatory molecules. In turn, your appetite is controlled and reduced and you will eat less and your weight does not increase. Your body fat cells continue to produce more and more leptin, creating a vicious cycle. This physiological problem is called leptin resistance. Leptin resistance is now believed to be the main factor of fat and weight gain in people. Leptin and ghrelin are two hormones that have been recognised to have a major influence on energy balance. Leptin is a mediator of long- term regulation of energy balance, suppressing food intake and thereby inducing weight loss. As a growing number of people suffer from obesity, the circulating level of the hormone leptin is increased, whereas surprisingly, the level of the ghrelin is decreased. When leptin level is low, we get hungry and crave food. The level increases as we eat food. Eventually, when the level is high enough, our brain receives a signal that we are full. Uncontrollable cravings, late night and stress eating are the most . The other symptoms may include. Weight gain. Urge to snack soon after meals. Fatigue especially after eating. Increased blood pressure. Frequent anxiety. Sugar cravings. Increase in triglycerides. Trouble falling or staying asleep. Inability to lose weight no matter how much you exercise. Lack of motivation. Recent research clearly indicates that leptin resistance is the key risk factor for obesity. High leptin levels are also associated with high blood pressure, heart disease, as well as blood sugar related problems and consequently another import health issue . They concluded that leptin levels may be used to identify the cardio- metabolic risk in obese and overweight population. Leptin is probably much more important to your heart health than cholesterol but generally doctors know very little about it. It can eventually lead to obesity and all the problems associated with it. The more fat a person has, the more leptin they have in their system. But carrying excess fat can actually make you more hungry. The brain also becomes less sensitive when the levels remain high for long periods of time. This reduced sensitivity is known as leptin resistance. Leptin levels are less sensitive to overeating and much more sensitive to starvation. When a person is dieting, their leptin levels will decrease rapidly, causing hunger but when a person overeats, the levels respond much slower, making it easier to eat too much. This physiological response helps the body to prevent starvation, but it is not helpful in preventing excess weight gain. This makes it more difficult to lose weight and maintain the metabolism at a proper, healthy level. They have found that the key to reversing it, is making lasting health changes through good diet and exercise. The body takes a long time to adjust to the proper leptin level when a person reduces calories which causes a person to feel hungry because they are dieting. Diets high in alcohol, sugars and carbohydrate- rich foods, such as breads, pasta, rice, and potatoes, raise triglycerides considerably. This idea was tested in a clinical study in 1. Although leptin did induce small weight loss in some obese people who were given the highest doses, the amount of weight loss was not significant. The study also showed that there was no difference in weight loss between lean and obese patients, which questioned the theory that obese people are more leptin- resistant and demonstrated that leptin pills simply are not effective for weight loss. For the vast majority of people, the treatment does not result in any weight loss. Instead, these supplements contain ingredients that are aimed at total wellness or general optimum health e. The research, published in the June 1 issue of Nature Neuroscience, can eventually lead to development of treatments for metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have found that the hormone also acts on other types of cells (other than neurons) to control appetite. Wallace professor of biomedical research at Yale School of Medicine. The good news is that leptin resistance can be reversed over time by following a good diet and exercise plan. The key to reverse leptin resistance is to adopt a diet that will restore leptin sensitivity. You need to change your eating habits that typically lead to being overweight. Cut down on sweets and starchy foods, processed foods and fried foods as these result in the loss of sensitivity to leptin. Just follow the following steps to combat this problem. They won't help you lose weight. You will be hungry and unhappy and any weight loss will be temporary. Avoid Very- Low- Calorie Diets (1. By eating more food, you. Embrace high- protein foods and low- glycemic carbohydrates. Increase Protein. Protein reduces hunger despite the typical decrease in leptin and increase in ghrelin that occur with dieting. Research also suggests that protein improves leptin sensitivity. Increase Healthy Fats. Eating more fatty fish such as sardines, herring or salmon may help. Studies have shown that omega 3 fatty acids may help fight leptin resistance. Exercise plays an important part in reversing leptin resistance. When you do exercise, make sure that you concentrate on high intensity training (HIT) and weight lifting. This type of exercise has been proven to be great for weight loss and building your muscles so you can have trim and firm body. Sleep is another important factor in reversing leptin resistance. Sleep deprivation can wreak havoc with leptin levels. Getting at least seven hours of sleep per night is important for maintaining good health and also proper leptin levels. In a study of over 1,0. BMI). Those who slept only 5 hours a night produced 1. Ensure Healthy Gut. Science is starting to learn that our gut health can impact many areas of our health, including regulation of weight. A healthy intestine can help control appetite; conversely, leptin and ghrelin imbalances have been observed in gut disorders like colitis. So take good probiotic as this can be helpful as well. The following are some examples of healthy foods that you can include in your diet to reverse resistance to leptin. Oatmeal is low- glycemic (low GI) carbohydrate and it lowers insulin levels and is loaded with fibre. Great for breakfast, oats also lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease, which is a serious problem for obese people. This helps the body to digest food more quickly and efficiently which results in less calories being stored as fat. It also helps you burn more calories. They contain capsaicin, which is a chemical that causes the metabolism to rise. Capsaicin also gives peppers their spiciness. Eating hot peppers causes the metabolism to remain higher for hours after eating them. Whether Greek or regular yogurt has many benefits and is loaded with protein and calcium. It also helps to regulate the digestive tract. It provides energy to help the body burn more calories. That causes the body to burn a lot of calories when digesting these meats. Meats supply proteins which aid in building muscle. Muscles burn more fat per pound than fat does. Salmon, mackerel and trout are also good sources of omega- 3 fatty acids. It may be difficult to get enough fish in the diet, so taking a high quality (purified) omega- 3 supplement can help increase metabolism as well. The caffeine causes the heart rate to accelerate slightly which increases the metabolism. Unlike coffee, which has a much higher caffeine level, it does not cause insulin to spike. Green tea also has a chemical called EGCG which causes the body to burn more calories by stimulating the nervous system. However, eating them in moderation will increase the metabolism because they are loaded with essential fatty acids. Nuts make a great snack food. They also make a great addition to a salad. Broccoli is high in vitamin C and calcium. These nutrients work together to help the body burn calories at a higher rate and more efficiently to promote weight loss. Some people believe that this product is very beneficial and helps as an effective appetite suppressant, however it is not likely to have a great effect unless it is used in conjunction with a healthy diet. Exercise is also vital as well as reducing stress and getting enough sleep every night.

If the Sacred Heart Diet is too hard to follow, we’re not sure if the dieter will stick around long enough to actually lose weight. Is The Science Solid? There is plenty of science that connects a reduced- calorie diet with weight- loss, but there is a limit. You need to consume enough food to provide the nutrition you need and stave off hunger. In the case of the Sacred Heart Diet that may not be possible. At Diet. Spotlight, research is important. This program just doesn’t have the backing we want to see. Does the Sacred Heart Diet Really Work? Well, we like that the Sacred Heart Diet encourages you to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and that a lot of water is consumed daily. On the other hand, we’re worried because it. There are four ingredients and all are clinically tested.

Foods to Significantly Improve Your Vision. By Dr. Mercola. Aging is inevitable, but are age- related problems such as poor vision absolute givens? Contrary to popular belief, your vision is largely dependent on your lifestyle. You may even be able to turn back the clock, as it were, and improve your vision. Foods Can Protect and Improve Your Eyesight. In a recent BBC article,1 Dr. Michael Mosley discusses his own vision problems and his experiences with nutritional intervention, featured in an episode of the BBC program . Your retina, located at the back of your eye, also contains light- sensitive cells that are critical for good vision. Your macula — the part of your retina responsible for central vision — is protected by a yellow pigment, made up of lutein, zeaxanthin and meso- zeaxanthin. These compounds absorb light and protect your macula from blue light and ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun and other light sources. Lutein, zeaxanthin and meso- zeaxanthin are plant compounds with potent antioxidant capacities. Your body cannot make them, so you must get them from your diet. As noted by the BBC: 3. Meso- zeaxanthin is generally not found in plants — it is thought to be made in our bodies from lutein (although it is also present in some fish . My detection of yellow and blue colors was extremely poor — something that . My night vision and perception of details were also poor compared with younger people — but consistent with my age. The Trust Me team then handed me a 9. Three months later, follow- up tests revealed remarkable improvement. Not only was his night vision and protective macular pigments improved, but his blue and yellow color perception was now within the normal range. How Much Lutein and Zeaxanthin Do You Need? Meanwhile, studies suggest American adults get, on average, only 1 to 2 mg of lutein from their diet each day. Research evaluating the effect of lutein, zeaxanthin and meso- zeaxanthin in combination, using a dose of 1. Well, the research certainly shows that supplements work. However, some researchers believe that diet can simply be enough, if we eat the right things.? You'll also find these nutrients in orange- and yellow- colored fruits and vegetables. According to one 1. According to a study published last year,8 adding a couple of eggs to your salad can also increase the carotenoid absorption from the whole meal as much as nine- fold! Dull, pale yellow yolks are a sure sign you're getting eggs form caged hens fed an unnatural grain diet, and hence will have low amounts of these valuable nutrients. How Much Lutein Can You Get From Your Foods? Most of these also contain zeaxanthin, albeit in lesser quantities than lutein. Ideally, you'll want to consume these foods as close to raw as possible. Once you heat spinach or egg yolks, for example, the lutein and zeaxanthin become damaged and will not perform as well in preventing degeneration of your macula. Accessory micronutrients in the foods that enhance their action also tend to get easily damaged. Lutein Content of Foods. Food. Mg / serving. Kale (raw)Mg / serving: 2. Kale (cooked)Mg / serving: 2.

In related news, higher intakes of vitamin C have been shown to prevent cataracts, the second leading cause of vision loss. According to the National Eye Institute, more than half of all Americans end up getting cataracts by the time they're 8. The study,1. 0 which compared vitamin C intake and the progression of cataracts in more than 3. C- rich foods lowered their risk of cataracts by one- third. Interestingly, vitamin C supplements were not associated with a reduction in risk. Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruits are well- known for being high in vitamin C, but the fruit with the highest concentration of all is actually acerola cherries (also known as Barbados cherries.) They are not as sweet as a regular cherry but about the same size. Each cherry only has 1 calorie but 8. C and the associated micronutrients. I have two of these trees in my front yard and for months I am able to gather 5. It is by far my favorite and healthiest fruit. It's the most common cause of blindness in diabetics. This significant risk reduction was primarily attributed to lower inflammation levels. Animal- based omega- 3 fats also provide structural support to cell membranes that boost eye health and protect retinal function. Earlier research. A 2. 00. 9 study also found that those with the highest consumption of omega- 3 fats were 3. C, vitamin E, zinc, lutein and zeaxanthin, had a lower risk of macular degeneration. Foods rich in animal- based omega- 3 are most naturally raised sea food, which means you need to be mindful of mercury contamination levels. Not all fish are high in omega- 3 fats, and most fish are severely contaminated to boot, so it's important to be selective. Marine sources that are high in omega- 3 and low in environmental pollutants include: Wild Alaskan salmon (which also contains astaxanthin — one of the most potent promoters of eye health; see below)Small fatty, cold- water fish such as herring, sardines and anchovies. Fish roe. Krill oil. Astaxanthin — The Most Powerful Promoter of Eye Health. Astaxanthin is produced by the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis when its water supply dries up, forcing it to protect itself from UV radiation. Besides the microalgae that produce it, the only other source are the sea creatures that consume the algae (such as salmon, shellfish and krill). Astaxanthin is far more powerful an antioxidant than both lutein and zeaxanthin, and many researchers believe it to be the most powerful antioxidant ever discovered for eye health. It's been found to have protective benefits against a number of eye- related problems, including the two leading causes of blindness in seniors: ARMD and cataracts, as well as: Cystoid macular edema. Diabetic retinopathy. Retinal arterial occlusion and venous occlusion. Glaucoma. Inflammatory eye diseases (i. Research shows it easily crosses into the tissues of your eye and exerts its effects safely and with more potency than any of the other carotenoids, without adverse reactions. Specifically, astaxanthin has been shown to ameliorate or prevent light- induced damage, photoreceptor cell damage, ganglion cell damage and damage to the neurons of the inner retinal layers. I recommend starting with 4 mg per day. Krill oil also contains high quality animal- based omega- 3 fat in combination with naturally- occurring astaxanthin, albeit at lower levels than what you'll get from an astaxanthin supplement. How Anthocyanins in Berries Benefit Your Eyes. Dark blue or purplish, almost black- colored berries like black currants and bilberries contain high amounts of the antioxidant anthocyanins. Black currants contain some of the highest levels. They're also rich in essential fatty acids, lending added support to its anti- inflammatory properties. For medicinal purposes, many opt for using black currant seed oil, but eating the whole food is always an option, especially when they're in season. Bilberry,2. 0,2. 1 a close relative of the blueberry, also contain high amounts of anthocyanins, just like the black currant. Research suggests the bilberry may be particularly useful for inhibiting or reversing macular degeneration. A 2. 00. 5 study. According to the authors: . A prudent level of intake would be on the order of 9. Patients should target 8. Those seeking prevention of eye disease, or just protection of the cells, can target 4. Sunglasses that block blue light have the benefit of making objects appear sharper, but mounting research suggests blocking blue light also serves an important biological purpose by regulating your internal body clock, which controls your sleep patterns and other body functions. Indeed, exposure to artificial light is likely one of the most often- overlooked health risks of living in the 2. One of the simplest and least expensive ways to protect your body's internal rhythm, and thereby support healthy sleep and a lowered risk of many chronic diseases, is to wear amber- colored glasses that block blue light — not just at night but anytime you are exposed to fluorescent or LED lights. This is because LEDs and fluorescents, although far more energy efficient, are not analog thermal light sources but digital ones. They have unbalanced wavelengths that are very different from the sun. They have a predominance of blue frequencies that contributes to free radical production, and lack the red, infrared and near infrared healing frequencies that stimulate repair and regeneration that are present in thermal light sources like clear incandescent bulbs. The now- banned- in- the- U. S. These bulbs have a similar wavelength pattern as the sun, but lack the blue and violet frequencies that can be so damaging to your circadian rhythm and melatonin at night. So a clear incandescent bulb is the best bulb to use at night for any light you may need. Even though you will use more energy, the health benefits far exceed paying for the extra energy. Additionally, one of the best strategies to establish your circadian rhythm is to spend some time outdoors shortly after sunrise. The red and infrared frequencies will help prepare your retina for the blue light emitted a bit after sunrise, which will produce a reactive oxygen signal to produce melatonin later that night — assuming you sleep in complete darkness. ![]() ![]() High School Sports High School Sports.

One of the more esoteric but much beloved tools in the paleo dieter’s tool- kit is intermittent fasting. What is intermittent fasting? IF is the practice of maintaining overall caloric intake while consuming those calories in fewer meals or in reduced time windows throughout the day. The goal is to create conditions of fasting in the body, but not for extreme lengths of time. Some examples of intermittent fast strategies include 1. The evolutionary premise — the argument that proponents of intermittent fasting make — is that humans evolved to optimize their health under less- than- optimal conditions. Fasting, they say, is a natural and perhaps even necessary part of being human. Amazingly enough, this happens without any of the psychological crippling side effects of cravings and food obsession that practictioners of. ![]() ![]() It is wholly understandable that fasting is all the rage these days. Sort of. I have a specific interest in intermittent fasting because of what I have witnessed both in myself and in working with literally thousands of women in the Pf. W community. Many women report to me (read more about that in this awesome book) that intermittent fasting causes sleeplessness, anxiety, and irregular periods, among many other symptoms hormone imbalance, such as cystic acne. I have also personally experienced metabolic distress as a result of fasting, which is evidenced by my interest in hypocretin neurons. Hypocretin neurons are one way in which intermittent fasting may dysregulate a woman’s normal hormonal function. After my own bad experience with IF, I decided to investigate intermittent fasting. I looked into both a) the fasting literature that paleo fasting advocates refer to, and b) the literature that exists out in the metabolic and reproductive research archives. Intermittent fasting and women: problems in paleo. What I found is that the research articles cited by Mark’s Daily Apple. This startled me because the article MDA cited was for me one of the strongest proponents of sex- specific differences in response to fasting. Sex differences were relevant. Still, the mere fact of being more sensitive to fasting simply by being a woman is, I would assert, pretty important for a woman who is contemplating or already practicing IF. This goes nearly unmentioned in the blogosphere. Intermittent fasting and women: problems in the literature. Beyond reporting biases in the blogosphere, there remains an even greater problem of a significant testing bias in the fasting literature. Searching “men” + “intermittent fasting” in a Harvard article database yields 7. Searching “women” yields 1. The animal studies are more equitable, but also a bit less applicable to human studies. There is an infertility condition – called hypothalamic amenorrhea – that millions of women suffer from due to being overly restrictive. But what of fasting? Intermittent fasting and women: should women fast? The few studies that exist point towards no. It is not definitive, since the literature is so sparse, and it necessarily differs for women who are overweight versus normal weight (and who have different genetic makeups), but when it comes to hormones, women of reproductive age may do well to err on the side of caution with fasting. ![]() What follows first is a brief review of what can be gleaned in sex- specific responses to fasting in animal studies. Afterwards I talk about what has been concluded by the few relevant human studies.——————————————————————- Mice and Rats. First up is a study that demonstrates the. Comparatively, the males’ genetic response was less specific, suggesting that the males respond to a general stressor but they seem to lack the ability to discriminate between a high energy and low energy stressor.”Moreover, “IF down- regulated many gene pathways in males including those involved in protein degradation and apoptosis, but up- regulated many gene pathways in females including those involved in cellular energy metabolism (glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, pentose phosphate pathway, electron transport and PGC1- . Female reproductivity down- regulates. In the researchers’ own words: “our data show that at the level of gonadal gene responses, the male rats on the IF regime adapt to their environment in a manner that is expected to increase the probability of eventual fertilization of females that the males predict are likely to be sub- fertile due to their perception of a food deficient environment.”——————————————————- In the final relevant IF rat study I could find, researchers subjected rats to the same diets– to 2. Calorie- Restricted (CR) diets, as well as to alternate- day fasting diets, and monitored them over the long term for hormonal responses. To elucidate the physiological basis of sex differences in responses to energy intake, we maintained groups of male and female rats for 6 months on diets with usual, reduced . In response to 4. CR, females became emaciated, ceased cycling, underwent endocrine masculinization, exhibited a heightened stress response, increased their spontaneous activity, improved their learning and memory, and maintained elevated levels of circulating brain- derived neurotrophic factor. Additionally, there was no significant change in the cognitive ability of the males on the 4. CR diet. Males and females exhibited similar responses of circulating lipids (cholesterols/triglycerides) and energy- regulating hormones (insulin, leptin, adiponectin, ghrelin) to energy restriction, with the changes being quantitatively greater in males. The high- fat/high- glucose diet had no significant effects on most variables measured but adversely affected the reproductive cycle in females. Heightened cognition and motor activity, combined with reproductive shutdown, in females may maximize the probability of their survival during periods of energy scarcity and may be an evolutionary basis for the vulnerability of women to anorexia nervosa. They also found this: The weight of the adrenal gland was similar in rats on all diets; however, when normalized to body weight CR and IF diets caused a relative increase in adrenal size, the magnitude of which was greater in females, compared with males. In contrast, both CR diets and the IF diet caused a decrease in the size of the ovaries. And this, bearing in mind that “daytime” for nocturnal rats is “nighttime” for humans: The daytime activity of females was doubled in response to IF, whereas the IF diet did not affect the activity level of males. Nighttime activity levels of males and females were unaffected by dietary energy restriction. And this. Women experienced no significant change. After 3 weeks of ADF, women but not men had an increase in the area under the glucose curve. This unfavorable effect on glucose tolerance in women, accompanied by an apparent lack of an effect on insulin sensitivity, suggests that short- term ADF may be more beneficial in men than in women in reducing type 2 diabetes risk. Feelings of fullness were significantly (P. That’s all that exists! Women don’t have much to go on. There are a few rodent studies. They found that when alternate- day fasting,female rats and found significant negative hormonal changes occurring in the females. There are even fewer human studies. Human studies on alternate day fasting have not been conducted on women of reproductive age at all, nor have any studies analyzed reproductive responses to fasting. Another important distinction to make is between different body weights. Overweight and obese patients appear to experience significant improvements with IF regimes, but normal weight patients do not show the same across- the- board benefits. For women this may be a particularly sensitive issue. Overweight women may experience metabolic benefits, whereas normal weight women do not. I suspect that that may roughly be the case, but who knows. Honestly, no one at this point. The practical solution, then, I believe, is to look at options, to be honest about priorities, and to listen to one’s body with awareness and love. Is fasting worth trying if a woman is overweight and trying to improve her metabolic markers, and so far hasn’t had much success? But the literature is so sparse in this area that we cannot make any real statements or predictions about the effects of fasting, other than that we just don’t know, and that we should continue to. There are boatloads of others.

Reverse dieting is the single greatest way to restore your metabolism to its fullest potential. Below you will find everything you need for incorporating reverse dieting into your nutrition program so that you can prime your metabolism for long- term fat loss. Why Should You Be Reverse Dieting? Tell me if this sounds like you: You’ve been trying to lose weight for a while now, and the weight loss starts off going really well. Eventually though, it slows down or stops altogether. So you decide to cut your calories further or do more cardio, and while that works for a little while, your progress plateaus yet again. This cycle is repeated until you are likely eating an absurdly low amount of calories and doing quite a bit of cardio. You probably feel worn down, hungry, achy, and have little energy in the gym. Both your workout progress and weight loss have stalled. The thought of cutting calories even further sounds like a nightmare. But you still have quite a bit of weight to lose. None of this makes sense to you because eating less and exercising more is supposed to result in weight loss. So then, why is all this hard work not getting you results? At the end of the article I’m going to give you a checklist to help you implement reverse dieting for your own situation. Keep an eye out for that. The Case for Reverse Dieting. The reason for your stalled progress is quite simple, actually. When you cut calories, however small your deficit might be, your metabolism begins to down- regulate. In an effort to conserve its energy for survival, your body begins to manufacture less metabolism- friendly hormones like thyroid, testosterone, and leptin so that your body can reach homeostasis. For a simple picture of how this happens, take a 5. This is supposed to result in about a pound of weight loss per week. But that is not going to happen forever, or you would obviously wilt to nothing. Along the way in the weight loss process your body begins to slow down its metabolism to conserve valuable energy (fat, glycogen). Eat at that original 5. Reverse dieting helps you restore your metabolism to a much higher level so that you have a better “base” to cut calories from. Starting your weight loss at 2. The former will result in slower, yet more sustained weight loss over time. The latter will likely result in fast weight loss, quickly followed by stagnation, frustration, and then a falling into the yo- yo dieting trap. How to Reverse Diet. The idea is simple and the name explains it all. What you do is slowly start adding calories back into your diet. I would recommend adding in about 5% more calories on a weekly basis. This equates to about 5. Many people immediately cringe at the thought of adding calories into their weight loss diet. They are flat out afraid of putting on weight. These people are usually the ones who are already eating very low calories, and the concept of reverse dieting (eating more to lose more) just doesn’t “click” with them. But let me tell you what you can expect, and this comes from my own personal experience as well as seeing hundreds of other people implement reverse dieting into their own nutrition. You immediately notice a boost in energy. Your motivation returns and you start looking forward to your workouts again. Your hunger decreases, and all the feelings of extreme restriction start to moderate. Your weight, surprisingly, starts to slowly decrease again – completely flying in the face of all logic. You feel warmer as you stoke your metabolic flame, and your sleep quality greatly improves. You seem to handle stress better, your mental well- being is improved, and life in general just seems a little easier to handle. Sounds pretty great, huh? The problem is that most people don’t have the patience or the courage to give reverse dieting a try. They fear weight gain and they want their results to keep moving forward. Adding calories into their diet seems to go against their goals. However, time and time again I have seen people add calories back into their diet only to see their weight loss pick right back up again. It’s one of the most exciting moments in a dieter’s life when he eats more and sees the scale tick downward. You too could share in this excitement. More Thoughts on Reverse Dieting. You likely have many questions about implementing reverse dieting, and I’ll be more than happy to answer your questions in the comment section, but before I end this article, I want to touch on a few of the intricacies of reverse dieting. Reverse dieting is a slow and methodical process. You must be patient, and you must understand that weight and fat are not always one- in- the- same. Extra calories can result in modest weight gain, but you are not going to gain fat eating under your maintenance calories. Instead, this added weight gain, if any, will be intracellular water retention – otherwise known as muscle glycogen. This is good weight. It is fuel for your muscles. It will boost your energy in the gym and help increase your strength, and it will make your muscles feel fuller. If there is an increase in weight, it usually happens the first couple of days after increasing your calories and then levels off and starts decreasing again towards the end of the week. Weigh yourself, but pay closer attention to the way you look and feel. I recommend you continue with the reverse dieting process for as long as you can handle it. Continue adding in calories (5% per week) until you notice a true weight gain over two weeks. When you finally get to that point, you will have found your true maintenance calories. You will be shocked at just how high you can go. From there, you can cut your calories by 1. One that will provide you with a great high base to cut calories from so that you can achieve sustainable long- term weight loss. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? Why not give reverse dieting a try? You really have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Why not take it one step at a time and just try adding in 1. I think you’ll be surprised with the results! If you’re ready to give it a try I’ve created a 4- step checklist to ensure you’re getting started right. It will walk you through the entire reverse dieting process and will let you know when and how much you should increase your calories in order to optimize your metabolism. You can download that checklist right here. Two Meals a Day Are Ideal. By Dr. Mercola. How many meals a day is ideal? There are many answers to this question, but if you want to optimize your lifespan and decrease your risk for developing chronic degenerative diseases, the answer is becoming very clear. Other less obvious risks are biological changes that result in metabolic dysfunction, subsequent weight gain, and diminished health. In fact, a number of beneficial effects take place when you go for periods of time without eating. Valter Longo,1 director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California, where he studies meal timing and calorie restriction, even three meals a day may be too much. As reported by Time Magazine: 2. They often look only at the short- term effects of increasing meal frequency. While your appetite, metabolism, and blood sugar might at first improve, your system will grow accustomed to your new eating schedule after a month or two. When that happens, your body will start expecting and craving food all day long instead of only around midday or dinnertime. More recently, I have refined my views on skipping breakfast. The key to remember is to only eat within a window of six to eight consecutive hours each day, and avoiding food for at least three hours before bedtime. As long as you restrict your eating to this window, you can choose between having breakfast and lunch, or lunch and dinner, but avoid having both breakfast and dinner. I have recently appreciated that this is another important factor that can help optimize your mitochondrial function and prevent cellular damage from occurring, which I'll review in the next segment. That said, none of this probably applies to normal weight teens or growing children. They likely need three square meals a day unless they're overweight. For kids and teens, the type of food they eat would be a primary consideration. Ideally, all of their meals would revolve around eating REAL FOOD — not processed foods, fast food, and sugary snacks. Drinking plenty of pure water and avoiding sugary beverages is another key consideration. This is due to the way your body produces energy. Many don't realize that your mitochondria are responsible for . Your cells have between 1. When you don't have insulin resistance this energy transfer works quite nicely, but when you are insulin resistant or you eat excessively, dysfunctions tend to emerge. These excess electrons leak out and wind up prematurely killing the mitochondria, and then wreak further havoc by damaging your cell membranes and contributing to DNA mutations. Simple: resolve your insulin resistance as soon as you can, and do not eat for AT LEAST three hours before you go to sleep. Personally I stop eating around 4 PM or even earlier and typically go to sleep around five to six hours later. This is one of the reasons why I now believe skipping dinner may be an even better strategy than skipping breakfast. Clearly skipping dinner is more difficult to implement from a social perspective, but it might be a superior biological strategy. Obese participants who . All participants, including the control group, received a weight management consultation on how to improve their diet and exercise. Those who ate three meals a day and drank water prior to each meal lost an average of nearly 9. Those who only pre- loaded once a day, or not at all, lost just over 1. In all, 2. 7 percent of the treatment group who pre- loaded with water lost more than five percent of their body weight, compared to just five percent of the control group. This makes logical sense, as thirst is often misinterpreted as hunger. Drinking water before settling down to eat will also make you feel fuller, so overall this strategy could result in eating less. Interestingly, research. So one reason why calorie restriction may lengthen lifespan appears to be due to the positive effect it has on gut microbiota. Earlier research has demonstrated that calorie restriction helps extend the lifespan of animals by improving insulin sensitivity and inhibiting the m. TOR pathway. This was demonstrated in a 2. Research included in that review, and other published studies, indicate that intermittent fasting can help: Limit inflammation, reduce oxidative stress, and cellular damage Improve circulating glucose Reduce blood pressure Improve metabolic efficiency and body composition, including significant reductions in body weight in obese individuals Reduce LDL and total cholesterol levels Prevent or reverse type 2 diabetes, as well as slow its progression Improve immune function,1. Improve pancreatic function Improve insulin and leptin levels and insulin/leptin sensitivity Reproduce some of the cardiovascular benefits associated with physical exercise Protect against cardiovascular disease Modulate levels of dangerous visceral fat Boost mitochondrial energy efficiency Normalize ghrelin levels, known as . Fasting can raise HGH by as much as 1,3. HGH plays an important part in health, fitness, and slowing the aging process. It's also a fat- burning hormone Lower triglyceride levels and improve other biomarkers of disease Boost production of brain- derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), stimulating the release of new brain cells and triggering brain chemicals that protect against changes associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. For starters, it's a lot easier to comply with, and compliance is everything. The calorie restriction route is also extremely dependent on high quality nutrition — you want to sacrifice calories without sacrificing any important micronutrients — and this can be another hurdle for many who are unfamiliar with nutrition and what actually constitutes a healthy diet. Most people fail to appreciate that there are many intricate biochemical dynamics that occur that are unaccounted for when you just count . As pointed out by Fight Aging: 1. Thus only the mouse evolves a relatively large plasticity of life span in response to food scarcity. Ancel Keys demonstrated this in the mid- 1. Thirty- six young healthy male volunteers were placed on a 2. They also had to walk for about 4. But instead of resulting in continuous weight loss, at 2. The men became obsessed with food to the exclusion of everything else in their life, and when the calorie restriction ended, they all over- reacted. Within a few weeks, they regained all of the lost weight plus about 1. Other studies have come to similar conclusions. So starvation- type diets may not be ideal for the average person. Your body will tend to shut down various processes in order to survive. For example, by reducing thyroid function, your body will not burn as many calories. On the one hand, calorie restriction promotes beneficial biological changes that tend to extend life; on the other, there are built in mechanisms that when triggered by chronic calorie restriction can trigger other health problems. These are complex issues, and any extreme measure is likely to cause more problems than it solves. The best we can do is come up with some general guidelines that replicate ancestral patterns. In my view, daily intermittent fasting and avoiding eating for a number of hours before bedtime has many advantages over general calorie restriction and other radical diets, while providing many of the same benefits with a minimum of risk. It's important to recognize that, with few exceptions, you cannot burn body fat if you have other fuel available, and if you're supplying your body with carbohydrates every few hours, your body has no need to dive into your fat stores. When you apply intermittent fasting you not only avoid this but also will typically decrease your food costs and increase your health. If you're not insulin resistant, intermittent fasting is not as crucial, but may still be beneficial. If you're among the minority of Americans who do not struggle with insulin resistance, then my general recommendation is to simply avoid eating at least three hours before bedtime. That automatically allows you to . To that, I would add avoiding sitting, engaging in non- exercise movement throughout the day, and getting regular exercise. Exercise will not produce significant weight loss without addressing your diet, but when done in combination it can be significantly beneficial. |
