			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Stress, perhaps everybody will agree, is public enemy number one. Not only does it makes a person look older than he or she already is, but it also slows down a person’s normal function when it comes to work. Aside from that, stress is also one of the biggest contributors why a person cannot think straight or make good decisions, because stress keeps you from properly sorting out your priorities and what you want to accomplish in life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some people try to cope up with stress by taking a rest or sleeping, but for <a href="http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/mcgraw-tim/let-it-go-20322.html">David Wayne Fish</a>, renowned gym trainer, he finds it hard to keep absolutely still when he is stressed. For him, the only way he can get rid of stress sis to move constantly. He finds it hard to not engage in any physical activity when he is really off kilter. Maybe it was his nature, since he is a physical fitness coach, to always pump up his blood and take sweat by jogging or running around the place.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">For David W. Fish, stress must be addressed in the way that you are comfortable. SO if you are like Fish who is always on the go, then running several rounds might also work for you so you can have a breather, but there are also some people who cope up with stress by taking a power nap or a full sleep to regain all of the energy lost so that he or she can think and function clearly as he wakes up.  So how do you know what type of stress eliminator among the two can you use?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are a person who is athletic, high-spirited and you feel that the stress you are having is brought about by an accumulated negative energy, hatred or any strong emotions and you feel like screaming to release the negative vibes, then doing some explosive movements can be good for you. You need to move a lot, you can play sports and exhaust all of the negative energy you are filling by performing actively. Nonetheless, if you are on the other side, a person who deals with a lot of stress from office work, then sleeping for longer hours might work for you better. As you sleep, you will be able to clear your mind from tension and stress and will be revived the next day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are still a lot of ways to cope up with stress, but according to <a href="http://davidwfish.com/">David W. Fish</a>, these two are the most basic and easiest to do without any professional help. So instead of continuing work in spite of the great deal of stress you are dealing, drop down what you are doing, breathe some fresh air and clear your head from any tension.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">In order to give those who are not familiar with, the process of digestion, a clear idea of that important operation, and the effect produced when alcohol is taken with food, we quote from the lecture of an English physician, Dr. Henry Monroe, on &#8220;The Physiological Action of Alcohol.&#8221; He says:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Every kind of substance employed by man as food consists of sugar, starch, oil and glutinous matters, mingled together in various proportions; these are designed for the support of the animal frame. The glutinous principles of food  fibrine, albumen  and  casein  are employed to build up the structure; while the  oil, starch  and  sugar  are chiefly used to generate heat in the body.<span id="more-396"></span>&#8220;The first step of the digestive process is the breaking up of the food in the mouth by means of the jaws and teeth. On this being done, the saliva, a viscid liquor, is poured into the mouth from the salivary glands, and as it mixes with the food, it performs a very important part in the operation of digestion, rendering the starch of the food soluble, and gradually changing it into a sort of sugar, after which the other principles become more miscible with it. Nearly a pint of saliva is furnished every twenty-four hours for the use of an adult. When the food has been masticated and mixed with the saliva, it is then passed into the stomach, where it is acted upon by a juice secreted by the filaments of that organ, and poured into the stomach in large quantities whenever food comes in contact with its mucous coats. It consists of a dilute acid known to the chemists as hydrochloric acid, composed of hydrogen and chlorine, united together in certain definite proportions. The gastric juice contains, also, a peculiar organic-ferment or decomposing substance, containing nitrogen something of the nature of yeast termed pepsine , which is easily soluble in the acid just named. That gastric juice acts as a simple chemical solvent, is proved by the fact that, after death, it has been known to dissolve the stomach itself.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is an error to suppose that, after a good dinner, a glass of spirits or beer assists digestion; or that any liquor containing alcohol even bitter beer can in any way assist digestion. Mix some bread and meat with gastric juice; place them in a phial, and keep that phial in a sand-bath at the slow heat of 98 degrees, occasionally shaking briskly the contents to imitate the motion of the stomach; you will find, after six or eight hours, the whole contents blended into one pultaceous mass. If to another phial of food and gastric juice, treated in the same way, I add a glass of pale ale or a quantity of alcohol, at the end of seven or eight hours, or even some days, the food is scarcely acted upon at all. This is a fact; and if you are led to ask why, I answer, because alcohol has the peculiar power of chemically affecting or decomposing the gastric juice by precipitating one of its principal constituents, viz., pepsine, rendering its solvent properties much less efficacious. Hence alcohol can not be considered either as food or as a solvent for food. Not as the latter certainly, for it refuses to act with the gastric juice.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;&#8216;It is a remarkable fact,&#8217; says Dr. Dundas Thompson, &#8216;that alcohol, when added to the digestive fluid, produces a white precipitate, so that the fluid is no longer capable of digesting animal or vegetable matter.&#8217; &#8216;The use of alcoholic stimulants,&#8217; say Drs. Todd and Bowman, &#8216;retards digestion by coagulating the pepsine, an essential element of the gastric juice, and thereby interfering with its action. Were it not that wine and spirits are rapidly absorbed, the introduction of these into the stomach, in any quantity, would be a complete bar to the digestion of food, as the pepsine would be precipitated from the solution as quickly as it was formed by the stomach.&#8217; Spirit, in any quantity, as a dietary adjunct, is pernicious on account of its antiseptic qualities, which resist the digestion of food by the absorption of water from its particles, in direct antagonism to chemical operation.&#8221;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">When the words oils and fats are mentioned, health-conscious individuals tend to run for cover. What they fail to realize is that there are good fats and bad fats. Complete avoidance of intake of oils and fats would actually be detrimental &#8211; rather than beneficial &#8211; to their health.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Truth about Fish Oil</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Essential fatty acids must always be part of our daily diet &#8211; without them, we take one step closer to our deaths. Essential fatty acids are divided into two families: omega-6 EFAs and omega-3 EFAS.<span id="more-430"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although there are only very slight differences to distinguish the two groups of essential fatty acids from each other, studies have revealed that too much intake of omega-6 EFAs can lead to inflammation, blood clotting and tumor growth. The good news, however, is that the opposite is true for omega-3 EFAs. Omega-6 EFAs can be found in vegetable oils while omega-3 EFAs can be found in fish oils among other foods.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Omega-6 vs. Omega-3</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Physicians and scientists are of the same opinion that the cause behind increasing cases of heart disease, hypertension or high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, premature aging and certain kinds of cancer is none other than an imbalanced intake of omega-3 and omega-6 EFAs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As mentioned earlier on, omega-6 EFAs can be found in vegetable oils. This includes but is not limited to corn oil and soy oil, both of which contains high amounts of linoleic acid. Omega-3 EFAs on the other hand can be found also in marine plankton and walnut and flaxseed oils. It should be significant to take note that fatty fish and fish oils contain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), fatty acids that have been observed to provide many benefits to the human body. In the early 1970&#8242;s, a study on Greenland Eskimos have revealed that one of the major reasons why they rarely suffer from heart diseases is because of their high-fat diet (mainly composed of fish).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The two essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA, are also helpful in preventing atherosclerosis, heart attacks, depression and various forms of cancer. Fish oil supplemented food has also proven to be useful in treating illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, Raynaud&#8217;s disease and ulcerative colitis.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Other Benefits of Fish Oil</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are a lot more illnesses and situations in which intake of fish oil has proven to be significantly beneficial.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Making the Heart Healthier</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The heart is inarguably one of the most important parts of our body and having an unhealthy heart means having to suffer a rather limited lifespan. Naturally, it&#8217;s in our best interests to keep our hearts happy and healthy and one way of doing that is eating food that contains fish oil.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In Athens, Greece, for instance, a study was made to show if there was a direct relationship between high fish diet and inflammation of blood vessels. The results revealed that those who ate more fish than the others had a lower level of C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, factors that are commonly used to measure likelihood of blood vessel inflammation. These benefits remained even when the various risks associated with high fish diet were taken into account.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fish to Become Thin</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In Perth, Australia, a study had revealed that fish consumption can be used against hypertension and obesity. Researchers of the UWA (University  of Western Australia) have discovered that a weight-loss diet which includes a regular amount of fish consumption can be quite effective in reducing blood pressure and improving glucose tolerance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fish Oil to Combat Asthma</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">People suffering from respiratory problems like asthma tend to be perceived as unfit and unhealthy. They should now be pleased to learn that certain studies have revealed the benefits of fish oil for asthma-burdened-individuals. Statistics show that approximately 20 to 25% of children today suffer one form of asthma or another at a certain point in their lives. And certain evidence reveals a regular diet of food with high linoleic acid content as the reason behind it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Researchers of UW (University  of Wyoming) conducted a study by subjecting a number of children to a high-fish diet while others continued with their regular diet. Results revealed that the participants who ate more fish were less prone to asthma attacks and were able to breathe more easily as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Consult Your Nutritionist Now</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nothing is good when consumed or used excessively but complete avoidance of a particular food type is equally harmful as well. Ask your nutritionist for the right amount of fish intake for your age and health status.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Lap band surgery or laparoscopic gastric banding procedure is a minimally invasive technique to aid in weight loss. The procedure involves a silicone band implant on the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch to control a patient’s food intake, appetite and digestion. It generally makes you feel full after just a small amount of food eaten and takes you a long time to get hungry again. Before you decide on having this procedure, consider first if <a href="http://www.lapband.info/">lap band</a> is right for you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lap Band may be for you if:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">• You have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 30 pounds, with 1 or more obesity related comorbid conditions<br />
• You have excessive weight for more than 5 years.<br />
• All your other attempts at weight loss have failed.<br />
• You are above 18 years old.<br />
• You do not suffer from a disease that causes obesity.<br />
• You are not pregnant. If, after lap band surgery you get pregnant, you can easily have it deflated during pregnancy and then restore once you have stopped nursing.<br />
• You do not drink excessive amounts of alcohol.<br />
• You are committed to make lifestyle changes after lap band.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lap Band is NOT be for you if:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">• You suffer from inflammatory disease or gastrointestinal tract conditions.<br />
• You have a lung or heart disease.<br />
• You have problems that can cause bleeding in the stomach or esophagus.<br />
• You have portal hypertension.<br />
• You have congenital conditions in the stomach, esophagus or intestine.<br />
• You have experienced intra-operative gastric injury at or near the intended location of the band.<br />
• You have cirrhosis or chronic pancreatitis.<br />
• You suffer from other illnesses that make you a poor prospect for surgery.<br />
• You are pregnant.<br />
• Your body cannot tolerate foreign objects.<br />
• You are not committed to change your lifestyle and the challenges involved after the surgery.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While these considerations may guide you in your decision to undergo lap band operation, they are inconclusive. You should consult a physician or surgeon to fully assess your medical condition and decide from there if the procedure is right for you. Remember that all medical procedures involve complications and risks and you should consider them before you make a decision. Although lap band surgery is statistically the safest and the least invasive weight loss surgery, problems can occur. It is up to you and your doctor to determine if lap band surgery is for you or not.</p>
