Which Weight Loss Method Is Most Effective In the Long Run?

More and more people are aware of the negative consequences that overweight and obesity will bring to them. Therefore, people who are overweight and obese will use whatever weight loss methods and tactics to help them getting rid of the extra weight they have. Unfortunately, not many of them would succeed in keeping their weight off in the long run.Some health experts believe that losing lot of weight quickly at the outset would make the dieters gain most of the weight back. Hence, overweight and obese patients have often been encouraged losing weight in small increments. But others found this more of a myth. In fact, scientists have found that no matter how much weight people initially lose, they seem to gain back a similar percentage of that weight over the next year.According to a new study...

For decades, health experts have blamed junk food for causing obesity epidemic, especially among the youngsters.On July 7, 2010, Australian and Vietnamese researchers from Sydney's Garvan Institute of Medical Research warned that the growing popularity of Western junk food is the culprit responding for the diabetes boom across Southeast Asia.The study showed that about 11 percent of men and 12 percent of women in Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City had Type-2 diabetes without even realizing it, in addition to the 4 percent of people who had already been diagnosed with diabetes. Their findings were based on testing a random sample of more than 2,000 people including 721 men...

Protecting your heart with fiber helps protect your whole body, study shows

I'm just back from my Valentine's Day speaking engagement at the U.S. Army War College, which was an unforgettable experience. I got to give my message "Protect Your Heart, Protect Your Life --It's that Simple," to more than 100 of our country's finest military officers and spouses. I will write more about my experience at this historic site in the coming days.Returning today, though, I logged on and found fresh news this morning that points out my key message -- that when you take action to keep your heart happy, your whole body is better off. This comes from a new government-funded study, which shows that eating fiber, which helps prevent heart disease, also helps you live longer. And, while the results were good for both men and women, the effect was even more pronounced in women.The study,...

A Valentine's Day Message

This Feb. 14, I am spending Valentine's Day with our men and women in uniform at the U.S. Army War College. This is a very elite institution and alumni include Generals George Patton, Norman Schwarzkopf, Tommy Franks, and many other men and women who have gone on to take strategic posts overseas.I will be sharing these statistics with our men and women in uniform: *Cardiovascular disease kills more women than men *About 454,600 women die from cardiovascular disease each year *About 370,000 women suffer first or recurrent heart attacks each year *About 83,000 women who suffer heart attacks annually are under age 65*Women heart attack survivors are more likely to die than are men*Women who have heart attacks under the age of 50 are twice as likely to die*Women are more likely than me to die...

New Study Shows Importance of Doing Research on Women

A study published this week is hailed as good news for women, because it found that a certain kind of implantable pacemaker/defibrillator works a lot better in women than it does in men. This indeed was good news for women, but it was also valuable for men as well, because researchers can now use this information to improve on the device for men.This study held a double meaning for me, because it yet again pointed out the importance of including women in medical studies. When I first began writing about heart disease in women, this was a very hot-button topic. It literally took a Congress to force researchers to include women routinely in their studies. This lack of research on women is also one key reason why heart disease was considered a "man's disease" for decades. Most of the studies...

Protect Your Heart 12 Months a Year

Today is Feb. 1, which is the start of Heart Month and my own National Women's Heart Health Day.I first began writing about women's heart health after my own open-heart surgery back in the ancient days of the mid-1990s. Back then, there were no Women's heart observances; indeed, when I turned my focus on this topic, the American Heart Association wasn't even keeping statistics on women. It literally took an Act of Congress to get women included in medical studies. Now, of course, it's much different. I lecture around the country on heart health and visit hospital with established cardiac programs for women. Wearing red in February is a national craze, and there are major promotions, at Macy's and the like.The downside of all this? The fact is that heart attacks don't strike women only in February;...
