Your Meds Could Be Making You Fat

The effect of drugs on the body's ability to burn body fat and glucose.

Most people forget that any medication, or drug, you take affects your entire body. Some medications increase appetite and food cravings, especially for sweet foods. In contrast, other medications reduce appetite and result in weight loss. Drugs alter taste, mood, ability to digest food, ability to burn fat and ability to maintain a normal workout.

How medications affect nutrients in the body is complicated and poorly understood. For example, some drugs mimic the shape of, and are mistaken for vitamins, so they block any real vitamins from participating in metabolic reactions. Some bind to a nutrient and limit its absorption or, because a drug can reduce the time that food is in the intestine it can limit the absorption time of nutrients.

Chromium picolinate has generated a lot of interest in the strength building environment because limited research shows that moderate increases in chromium picolinate might maintain or even increase muscle mass while fat is lost. Although chromium is essential in protein and carbohydrate metabolism and thus may participate in muscle growth and function, there is no evidence that these "anabolic" effects are significant. In fact, the study that precipitated interest in this product was conducted on six college male body builders. The study has not been replicated and it's mostly media hype, not research or statistical data that supports the strong sales of this compound that is readily available in diets that are high in green, leafy vegetables.

Cancer caregiving at home? Here’s a guide from A to Z

Cancer Caregiving from A to Z By Peggy Sarlin If you're a caregiver to someone with cancer, you're forced to be a hero. Suddenly, you're the Comforter-in-Chief, consoling your loved one through hours of anxiety and pain. You're the Master Scheduler, supervising appointments, treatments, and transportation. You're Chief Financial Officer, handling insurance paperwork, while keeping the family finances from vaporizing. And that's just for starters. Cancer patients often need skilled nursing care when they come home – and you might have to provide it, even though you lack training. You may be so tired that you finally understand the phrase "bone-weary": your bones really do hurt. You may just want to fling yourself down on your bed and cry. But you've got to pull yourself together and give your loved one his medications, or monitor his symptoms, or hook up his intravenous antibiotics. If any of this sounds like you, or someone you know, I can help. . . Continued below… Breast Cancer Breakthrough BANNED! U.S. Government Blocks Release of Doctor's Life-Saving Book A mammoth discovery is wiping out most breast tumors better than anything seen yet in modern medicine. It makes surgery, radiation and chemotherapy look like something from the Dark Ages. A Cornell-educated doctor followed more than 25 years of case studies and PROVED this treatment can cure breast cancer. With the discovery I'm going to tell you about, almost every woman makes it and without losing a breast to surgery or taking any toxic chemicals. Even those with late stage cancer! You've got to include this treatment if you want to have any REAL hope of defeating breast cancer. Click here now and watch a new video presentation about this important discovery…

 

You need all the help you can get, so I want to recommend a book. I asked my friend Cindy, a home care expert, to find a truly useful book on cancer caregiving. She recommended Cancer Caregiving A-to-Z: An At-Home Guide for Patients and Families, and now that I've read it, I can see why. It's surprisingly tough to find a caregiving book that feels user-friendly. Most of them are filled with thick, technical paragraphs that give you a headache just looking at them, or they contain encouraging, but empty fluff.Cancer Caregiving A to Z is different. For one thing, it's organized in the easiest possible way, alphabetically addressing topics from Anxiety to Weight Changes. (They cheated; there is no Z.) Each section gives you crucial background information, then lists "What the Patient Can Do", "What Caregivers Can Do"; and "When to Call the Doctor." Even if you're so exhausted that you can barely open your eyes, you'll still be able to read this book. Order on Amazon, if you're interested. I'm glad I did. I found much here to interest me, since I'm the caregiver to my husband, who's recovering from a major stroke that paralyzed his left side. I need to learn as much as I can about Poor Appetite, Pressure Sores, Seizures, and lots of other topics that are well-covered here. But I'm also impressed by the plentiful advice on problems specific to cancer caregiving. For instance, suppose your family is facing chemotherapy. You can quickly read the chapter devoted to that topic for a good overview of what's coming, and to learn how patient and caregiver can make informed decisions during treatment. But, in addition, you'll find separate chapters on each of chemotherapy's most common side effects, with expert advice to help ease their difficulties. When should you call the doctor if your loved one is vomiting? What kind of grooming techniques will help you minimize hair loss? What is the optimum time for giving pain medications to a patient with mouth sores? This book's straightforward, easy-to-find answers could make all the difference for your loved one. As the introduction points out, cancer patients are now living longer, which is good news indeed. But patients are receiving treatments in outpatient settings that used to be performed in a hospital. And often they get discharged early from the hospital, while still suffering from the side effects of the treatment. These policies force patients to come home in pain and discomfort, putting tremendous demands upon their caregivers. Even if you're already acting as a skilled nurse, home health aide, housekeeper, cook, and chauffeur, you can't neglect your crucial role of medical researcher. Cancer Caregiving A to Z will help to make that role a bit easier, and caregiving heroes need all the help they can get. Click here to order the book from Amazon.

The 21 day fitness solution

Hey, Nate Lewis here,

I've been getting a lot of emails asking if we have a fast solution to help with the shrinking the waist, hips and buns area...

... while there is no quick fix (I don't care what the infomercials claim) I did go to the drawing board and crafted a new 21 day rapid fat loss program that's right up your alley – if you want fast results.

You probably know that our Online program is pretty much full, but we do have room for another small group so I thought I'd let you know that my NEW 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss program starts Monday May 12, 2014 and the best part is that the 21 day program is FREE for that period and INCLUDES a 21 day meal plan program.

The only catch is that this online fitness boot camp is almost full and we can only take on 12 more participates. So if you're ready to fit into your skinny jeans again and want to firm and tone your body all while dropping inches and pounds then make sure to register for our 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss Online Bootcamp.
