Eating healthfully can help the person work more productively, perform better athletically, maintain or reduce weight, dramatically lower the risk for heart disease and certain form of cancer.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger118125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37469114.post-90415119937305767862019-12-03T20:40:00.000-08:002019-12-03T20:40:16.796-08:00Formula to Good Health<br />Most American today are overfed yet undernourished, which eventually leads to obesity and poor health.<br /><br />The answer to those pervasive problem is simply to eliminate the low nutrient to calories ration foods like processed grains, sugars, fatty processed meats, soft drinks and packaged snack foods, and increase the intake of high nutrient to calorie ratio foods like vegetables, fruits, seafood and whey protein.<br /><br />A diet with a high nutrient to calorie ration supplies with large quantities of beneficial vitamins, minerals and other antiaging phytonutrients, but at the same time it reduces your calorie intake.<br /><br />If you want to lean, fit, vigorous, and brought and happy, you must do what you are designed to do. People usually eat until they are full or satiated.<br /><br />If you consume natural high nutrient but low calorie foods like fruits and vegetables, you can eat more volume and thus will feel satisfied for a longer period after eating.<br /><br />It is very difficult to get fit by eating vegetables and fruit.<br /><br />If you also make sure to include healthy lean protein with each meal, you will stay full longer and be able to avoid cravings.<br /><br />If you trying to lose weight and not feel deprived, subtle changes can lead to realm lasting results.<br /><br />A study researchers tested whether they could fool people into thinking they were eating the same amount of calories even though they trimmed their intake by 800 calories a day.<br /><br />They did this by “super-sizing” the portions of foods with high nutrient to calorie like vegetable and fruits.<br /><br />At the same time they cut high calorie synthetic foods containing sugars and fats by about 25%.<br /><br />As turned out, the participant did not even notice that they were consuming fewer calories because they were eating more food and staying full longer.<br /><br />On the other hand, when the researchers cut calories by just decreasing portion sizes, participants complained they weren’t getting enough to eat.<br /><br />In other word, you will feel less deprived and have better luck losing body fat if you increase your intake of fruits and vegetables and cut out processed high sugar and high fat foods, rather than relying on cutting portion size alone.<br /><b>Formula to Good Health</b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37469114.post-11981867899456817872019-11-21T18:04:00.001-08:002019-11-21T18:04:18.600-08:00Trails and Belief of the BulimicLike the anorexic, the bulimic’s self-esteem is based to an excessive degree on her own body shape and weight. Like the anorexic, the bulimic tries to restrict food intake, but eventually fails, usually by engaging in a binge.<br /><br />Such a “failure” is perfectly normal behavior after period of self starvation, although the bulimic does not see this. A period of severe restriction often follows, usually ending in another binge.<br /><br />Binge are defined as eating far more than most people would eat during a discrete period of time. Binges can begin in one place and continue in another; for example, at a party at a restaurant and then in the privacy of the bulimic’s bedroom or bathroom.<br /><br />Different people binge on different sorts of food, but the binge usually includes sugary, high caloric foods.<br /><br />Once a binge begins, the bulimic eats rapidly, almost without thinking, until she feels discomfort or even outright pain from her excessive consumption. Unlike the anorexic, who may be proud of her ability to restrict her intake of food, the bulimic is usually mortified by and ashamed of her owned behavior.<br /><br />She tries to hide her own problem and is often highly effective at doing so. She may steal food to binge on in secret, use her allowance money to buy binge food, or make sure to run the shower when throwing up so no hears her.<br /><br />While anorexics revel in the feeling of total control over their own eating, bulimics during a binge feel a total lack of control.<br /><br />Their binges, especially during the early stages of the disorder, may put them into a state of frenzy, or even beyond that trigger a sense d dissociation – the feeling of not even inhabiting the body that is doing such damage to itself. The binge is usually followed a crash in mood and the return of depressive or self loathing feelings.<br /><b>Trails and Belief of the Bulimic</b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37469114.post-45988483285483725322019-10-25T08:28:00.004-07:002019-10-25T08:28:53.354-07:00Food with Vitamin D content<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:RelyOnVML/> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings></xml><![endif]-->Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. This means that human body can store extra amounts of vitamin D. Vitamin D works with calcium and phosphorus for healthy bones, muscles and teeth. Vitamin D is a nutrient found in some foods that is needed for health and to maintain strong bones. It does so by helping the body absorb calcium (one of bone’s main building blocks) from food and supplements. Human body needs vitamin D to help absorb calcium. Vitamin D may help to prevent or manage some chronic diseases. <br /><br />Oily fish such as salmon, sardines, pilchards, trout, herring, kippers and eel contain reasonable amounts of vitamin D. Salmon, tuna, and mackerel are among the best sources. Beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks provide small amounts. Mushrooms provide some vitamin D. In some mushrooms that are newly available in stores, the vitamin D content is being boosted by exposing these mushrooms to ultraviolet light. <br /><br />Margarine, some breakfast cereals, infant formula milk and some yoghurts have added or are ‘fortified’ with vitamin D. <br /><br />People can get vitamin D from some foods including fortified foods and everyone is recommended to take a supplement, especially during autumn and winter.<br /><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext;">Food with Vitamin D

(Gotu Kola) is a nutritionally important plant and a valued traditional medicine in South East Asia. It is a brown and green leafy plant of the parsley family that grows in, or nearby, water. <br /><br />Oral use of C. asiatica and in vitro studies have improved memory and cognition, stabilizing diabetic symptoms, aid topical wounds and alleviate swelling. In vitro studies in animals have found C. asiatica to improve memory and increase reaction time, and assist with the wound-healing process. Dose-dependent amounts of aqueous extract of C. asiatica also decrease the appearance of aging skin, collagen, and topical scars, <br /><br />The use of C. asiatica in food and beverages has increased over the years basically due to its beneficial functional properties. Its potential antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, neuroprotective, and other activities have been widely claimed in many reports and is very much related to its properties and mechanism of action of the plant’s bioactive constituents, namely the triterpenic acid (asiatic acid madecassoside acid), triterpenic saponin (madecassoside and asiaticoside), flavonoids, and other phenolic compounds.<br

dietary supplement. It is an essential mineral needed to help red blood cells supply oxygen to our muscles for energy.<br /><br />Vegetarians need almost twice the daily recommended amount of iron compared with non-vegetarians. Iron from plant-based foods is not absorbed as well by human bodies as animal food sources. <br /><br /> Plant-based sources of iron include pulses and legumes (such as beans, peas, and lentils), dark green leafy vegetables (such as spinach, cabbage, and broccoli), tofu, nuts and seeds.<br /><br />Much of the iron in meat is heme iron, which is more easily absorbed from food and used by your body. Plant foods contain only non-heme iron. Although some plant foods are good sources of iron, it is often attached to compounds that reduce its absorption. These compounds are called phytates and are found in whole grains and dried beans. <br /><br /> Vitamin C enhances iron absorption from such plant sources, so eating vitamin C- containing foods (grapefruit, oranges, tomatoes, broccoli, and strawberries) in combination with iron-rich vegetables, fruits, nuts, etc. is recommended.<br /><b>Iron in vegetables diet</b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VqFDOGHYfbg/XZiuek1bK3I/AAAAAAAASYo/95BeUYNoWEUaWCgkkbUEmfp8H_I16w4JQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="370" data-original-width="411" height="288" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VqFDOGHYfbg/XZiuek1bK3I/AAAAAAAASYo/95BeUYNoWEUaWCgkkbUEmfp8H_I16w4JQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/1.jpg" width="320" /></a></b></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37469114.post-32681626000804560222019-08-22T20:03:00.000-07:002019-08-22T20:03:07.046-07:00Overeating due to boredom The number of people in the world, and in the United States, who are overweight is of concern because of the significant impact obesity has on health and the associated medical costs. Many people overeat out of boredom. With nothing else to do, they rummage through the cupboards to fill the time.<br /><br />Boredom is frequently considered inconsequential and has received relatively little research attention. Eastwood, Frischen, Fenske, and Smilek in 2012 stated that boredom can be conceptualized as the aversive experience of not being able to engage in a satisfying activity. “Boredom is the experience of being disengaged and stuck in an endless dissatisfying present”.<br /><br />Boredom has also been associated with food cravings and overeating. Study found that an increased sense of boredom clearly promotes eating.<span style="color: #999999;"> (<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>Eating and inflicting pain out of boredom Remco C.

Likewise, difficulties in managing negative affect could lead to alternative and inappropriate ways of coping, like overeating.<br /><b>Overeating due to boredom</b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37469114.post-14812295840425452272018-11-02T07:36:00.003-07:002018-11-02T07:36:52.981-07:00What are the warning signs of an eating disorder?Eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and OSFED (other specified feeding or eating disorder) are bio-psycho-social diseases. Eating disorders produce warning signs. Obsessions with food, body weight, and shape may be signs of an eating disorder.<br /><br />People with anorexia may:<br />•Eat tiny portions, refuse to eat, and deny they are hungry. They have an extreme fear of gaining weight.<br />•Withdrawal from usual friends and activities<br />•Wearing loose, bulky clothes to hide weight loss<br />•Show abnormal weight loss-a much as 15 percent or more of body weight or a large weight loss in a short time<br />•Act hyperactive, depressed, moody or insecure<br />•Have an intense fear of being fat<br />•Preoccupation with weight, food, calories, dieting, and/or body image<br />•Seeing themselves as fat, wanting to lose more weight, even when they are very thin<br />•Exercise excessively and compulsively<br />•Suffer from constipation or irregular menstrual periods •Develop fine, downy hair on their arms and face<br />•Complain of nausea or bloating after eating normal amounts of food<br />•Binge-eat, then purge, perhaps by vomiting or using laxatives or diuretics<br /><br />Eating disorders tend to develop during the teenage and young adult years, and they are much more common in girls and women.<br /><b>What are the warning signs of an eating disorder? </b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-47qNM0ggMuo/W9xg8VTHJ4I/AAAAAAAASN8/QSciqe6zgRUSjEchKbbGkj-0wlaOuUK6wCLcBGAs/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="272" data-original-width="493" height="176" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-47qNM0ggMuo/W9xg8VTHJ4I/AAAAAAAASN8/QSciqe6zgRUSjEchKbbGkj-0wlaOuUK6wCLcBGAs/s320/1.jpg" width="320" /></a></b></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37469114.post-39132046865571607052018-09-19T09:37:00.000-07:002018-09-19T09:41:18.253-07:00Soft food diet after surgery After surgery, the swelling around the esophagus and stomach may stop large pieces of food from passing. However, to heal after surgery, the patient need to eat well. These foods are easy to eat and digest while providing needed nutrition.<br /><br />They also tend to be foods that will cause less irritation when they are digested. This diet is used for patients who are not ready for foods of normal consistency or with too many spices after trauma, surgery, or other treatments.<br /><br />A soft food diet includes foods that are both soft and moist. Typically, a soft diet is recommended for the first 2 to 8 weeks following surgery. Patient will then slowly advance to a regular diet; depending on the progress and tolerance for food. The foods patient tolerate can vary greatly from one person to the next.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jBrKUaCRzJ8/W6J649cvYQI/AAAAAAAAR-k/DcYZHsp14OAedqWnNwTi181jyO6rhX1owCLcBGAs/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="194" data-original-width="259" height="149" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jBrKUaCRzJ8/W6J649cvYQI/AAAAAAAAR-k/DcYZHsp14OAedqWnNwTi181jyO6rhX1owCLcBGAs/s200/1.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>Patient should take foods that are easy to swallow and digest.

It occurs when high levels of uric acid cause crystals to form in body joints and soft tissues, leading to inflammation, pain and swelling.<br /><br />Diet plays an important role in both causing gout and reducing the likelihood of suffering further painful attacks of gout. If the person already suffer from gout, eating a diet that is rich in purines can result in a five-fold increase in gout attacks.<br /><br />High dairy intake and coffee consumption may lower gout risk. Vegetable intake, regardless of purine content, may help remove uric acid from the body whereas fat intake, regardless of purine acid content, may increase uric acid secretion.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2ZWuVOIs5Xk/W2pT-C6xDJI/AAAAAAAARy4/ib4_Jfpjk9QJsezQmLB2hjiHhIlMHYu0QCLcBGAs/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1600" height="250" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2ZWuVOIs5Xk/W2pT-C6xDJI/AAAAAAAARy4/ib4_Jfpjk9QJsezQmLB2hjiHhIlMHYu0QCLcBGAs/s400/2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>According to the American Medical Association, purine-containing foods to be avoided include:<br />•Offal- liver and kidneys, heart and sweetbreads<br />•Game- pheasant, rabbit, venison<br />•Oily fish- anchovies, herring, mackerel, sardines, sprats, whitebait, trout<br />•Seafood- especially mussels, crab, shrimps and other shellfish, fish roe, caviar<br />•Meat and Yeast Extracts - Marmite, Bovril, commercial gravy as well as beer<br /><br />Other foods to avoid:<br />High fat foods such as cream sauses, fried foods and foods containing trans fat (partically hydrogenated vegetable oils) Avoiding purine-rich foods is only one aspect of tr eatment, drink plenty of fluids/water, exercise and maintain a healthy body weight.<br /><b>Food diet for gout patients </b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37469114.post-8654242058117122092018-07-14T09:17:00.003-07:002018-07-14T09:17:28.264-07:00What are the warning signs of eating disorders?

It is present when a person experiences such as extreme reduction of food intake or extreme overeating, or feelings of extreme distress or concern about body weight or shape.<br /><br />People of almost any age and either gender may develop an eating disorder. However some groups of people are more at risk than others.<br /><br />Eating disorders frequently appear during adolescence or young adulthood, but some reports indicate that they can develop during childhood or later in adulthood.<br /><br />Eating disorders affect some several million people at any given time, most often women between the ages of 12 and 35. Women and girls clearly are the most susceptible. In fact, approximately 90 to 95 percent of all people with anorexia or bulimia are women.<br /><br />Adolescent are at particular risk. Estimates indicates that as many as one of every 100 teenage girls in the United States will develop anorexia.<br /><br />Athletes such as dancers and gymnasts, who must control their weight, are susceptible. Eating disorders are being increasingly identified in males, as well as in adults and even in children as young as eight, nine and ten years old. In many cases, eating disorders occur together with other psychiatric disorders like anxiety, panic, obsessive compulsive disorder, and alcohol and drug abuse problems.<br /><b>High risk groups of eating disorder </b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gd-aRzgZDdQ/WuAZmNLrclI/AAAAAAAARJk/4M-WWH3Zoqc_RTGFXVWG7yeoEunNQmHvQCLcBGAs/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1075" data-original-width="895" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gd-aRzgZDdQ/WuAZmNLrclI/AAAAAAAARJk/4M-WWH3Zoqc_RTGFXVWG7yeoEunNQmHvQCLcBGAs/s320/1.jpg" width="266" /></a></b></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37469114.post-15285960377029499252018-03-23T03:38:00.002-07:002018-03-23T03:38:29.404-07:00What are the symptoms of acute gastric dilatation?

They need to practice good habits and have a positive outlook in life. Those who do not follow a good set of habits can become victims of many illness. <br /><br />One such illness is anorexia nervosa.

Some women are bingeing and purging (bulimia nervosa) on the campuses colleges and universities, while many in corporate America are crash-dieting and abusing laxatives in a dangerous, sometimes deadly, attempt to control their weight. <br /><br />But why are women slowly killing themselves to be thin? What's behind the deadly cycle of eating disorders that is quietly engulfing some of the community? <br /><br />It is hard to disentangle the myriad assumptions that circulate around anorexia. The assumptions have a strong hold in the public imaging of the disorder and it seems as if everyone has some familiarity with and hence an opinion on the topic.<br /><br />Each person who self starved or who had a diagnosis of anorexia as striving toward the attainment of thinness. It was the thin body that was the focus of attention, the marker of illness or of succumbing to patriarchal ideals.<br /><br />In American culture, being thin is in. Being overweight is out. TV and billboards show beautiful, thin people having fun. People are told that being thin is desirable.<br /><br />People with anorexia may see thin as the key to success and happiness. Food is the enemy that prevents them from achieving their goal.

However, when they combine with protein they became lipoproteins and are able to dissolve in and be carried by blood throughout body.<br /><br />Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is cholesterol packaged in a protein and phospholipid coat. Cholesterol is insoluble, so it must be encased in this coat to facilitate transport in the blood. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VCdnAVa7zb8/WeQN1cPFNhI/AAAAAAAAPto/LvzbHNtOfw4sSI01qvb0YCuSh_IcrCQ9ACLcBGAs/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="269" data-original-width="362" height="296" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VCdnAVa7zb8/WeQN1cPFNhI/AAAAAAAAPto/LvzbHNtOfw4sSI01qvb0YCuSh_IcrCQ9ACLcBGAs/s400/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>LDL is the major cholesterol carrier to the periphery and supplies the cholesterol essential for the integrity of nerve tissue, steroid hormone synthesis, and cell membranes. It circulates throughout the body and is available to all cells.<br /><br />As LDL circulates in the blood it may adhered to arterial walls which feed the heart and brain. When there is too much LDL cholesterol circulating in the blood, it can slowly build up in the walls of the arteries that feed the heart and brain. It forms plaque and may result in a blockage in the artery which may lead to arthrosclerosis.<br /><br />The association between elevated plasma cholesterol carried in LDL and the risk of coronary heart disease has been well established.

HDL is comprises of a heterogeneous group of lipoprotein particles. HDL has a higher protein content and a smaller triglyceride and cholesterol content than LDL<br /><br />HDL is a cholesterol-carrying protein. It often referred to as the “good” cholesterol. LDL cholesterol carries cholesterol from liver to invade the arteries, sparking atherosclerosis. HDL cholesterol does the exact opposite. It takes cholesterol out the arteries and delivers it back to liver to be packaged into bile and excreted from the body. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BtS5kn7eDG4/WcR1Yor1VHI/AAAAAAAAPdo/9eWg-nJM97keD09nzil-gcRVqz5l8eu4QCLcBGAs/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="254" data-original-width="253" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BtS5kn7eDG4/WcR1Yor1VHI/AAAAAAAAPdo/9eWg-nJM97keD09nzil-gcRVqz5l8eu4QCLcBGAs/s1600/1.jpg" /></a></div>Very low-fat eating plans can lead to a lowering of HDL levels. Therefore, individuals should follow a moderate-fat diet, with 20-35% of total calories coming from fat and a strong emphasis should be placed on the unsaturated fats.

Fatal cases of acute gastric dilatation in people with chronic quadriplegia may be due to vagally mediated respiratory arrest, aspiration pneumonia or gastric rupture.<br /><b>Acute gastric dilatation </b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37469114.post-63689929654888944462017-06-07T02:27:00.000-07:002017-06-07T02:27:08.097-07:00Food with high antioxidantsFood oxidation regularly causes a decrease in consumer acceptance, but in some cases, oxidative reactions of specific food components lead to an improvement in the product quality.<br /><br />Antioxidants are compounds that can delay or inhibit the oxidation of lipids, nucleic acids or other molecules by inhibiting the initiation or propagation of oxidizing chain reactions. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S-u_KuGDybQ/WTfGzOMCI0I/AAAAAAAAOqI/MnJoHuwXg0MvmkjpG4GeTsslKW_0Stl9wCLcB/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="782" data-original-width="938" height="332" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S-u_KuGDybQ/WTfGzOMCI0I/AAAAAAAAOqI/MnJoHuwXg0MvmkjpG4GeTsslKW_0Stl9wCLcB/s400/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Fruits showed a remarkably high scavenging activity of chemically generated active oxygen species. The range of hydrophilic antioxidant capacities was large among the different fruits such as prunes, raisins, blackberries, blackcurrants, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, grapes, pomegranates and some varieties of apples.<br /><br />Many natural products such as plant phenolic compounds, spice extracts, amino acids, and proteins have significant antioxidant activity. Food processing may also result in the formation of antioxidant compounds such as Maillard reaction products.<br /><br />Antioxidants such as vitamin C is found in many fruits and vegetables,; vitamin E in grains and vitamin A in yellow vegetables like squash. Many nuts and seeds contain the minerals selenium and zinc.<br /><b>Food with high antioxidants </b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37469114.post-45221814588627928892017-05-09T17:31:00.000-07:002017-05-09T17:31:57.748-07:00Obesity can cause obstructive sleep apneaObstructive sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by repetitive collapse of tea upper airway during sleep resulting in complete (apnea) or partial (hypopnea) restriction of airflow.<br /><br />Obstructive sleep apnea severity is typically quantified using the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) which measures the number of apneas and hypopneas per hour of sleep. Obesity is very common in the obstructive sleep apnea population. Although being overweight is not necessary for obstructive sleep apnea, truncal obesity predisposes patients to sleep apnea. In patients with a small airway diameter at baseline, even a modest weight gain can cause obstructive sleep apnea. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JC34uh9RcHY/WRJe5d5hXaI/AAAAAAAAOeU/IIPcQrxkdnEkvvrOL5HpwyrRH0S1R0pBQCLcB/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JC34uh9RcHY/WRJe5d5hXaI/AAAAAAAAOeU/IIPcQrxkdnEkvvrOL5HpwyrRH0S1R0pBQCLcB/s400/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Mechanisms by which obesity may cause obstructive sleep apnea:<br />*Reduction of upper airway caliber due to fat deposition<br />*Alteration of upper airway compliance (increase in collapsibility) due to changes in muscle tone<br />*Decrease in lung residual volume<br /><br />Obstructive sleep apnea patients have severe daytime somnolence, frequent nocturnal awakening, loud snoring and morning headaches. Severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome can be associated with prolonged sinus arrest, premature ventricular contractions and sudden death.<br /><b>Obesity can cause obstructive sleep apnea </b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37469114.post-58564318382768331272017-04-23T19:59:00.000-07:002017-04-23T19:59:00.197-07:00Healthy diet component: FatsFat is an essential component of a healthy diet. Human brains are made up of 70 percent fat and layer of fat surrounds the heart and acts as an emergency source of energy. Fat is a component of a human cells. Human need it to absorb fat-soluble nutrients. <br /><br /><div>Fats are glyceryl esters of fatty acids. Fats, as do carbohydrates, contain the elements carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, but the proportion of oxygen in fats is less, and it can be can said that fats are fuel foods of a more concentrated type than are the carbohydrates. <br /><br />Carbohydrates and fats are interchangeable as fuel foods, but it can be shown, by calorimeter, that fats produce more than twice the heat energy produced by carbohydrates. One gram of fats yields 9 cal, while 1 gram of carbohydrate yields 4 cal. An additional advantage of fat form viewpoint of energy availability is that it stores well in large amounts in adipose tissues. Thus fat, considered to be a reserve form of fuel for the body, is an important source of calories. <br /><br />Paradoxically, this is not advantageous in affluent societies where the problem is not the availability of food for energy, but rather the health hazard of obesity. Fats may occur in foods as materials that are solid at room temperatures or as oils that are liquid at room temperatures. Solid fats contain comparatively small amounts of fatty acids with two or more groups of adjacent carbons that are not fully saturated with hydrogen. <br /><b>Healthy diet component: Fats</b><blockquote></blockquote></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
