Are You addicted to Carbs?
It has been estimated that three out of every four overweight
people are addicted to carbohydrates. But what does this mean?
In essence, it means that you have too much of the hormone
insulin in your system. This insulin prompts you to eat often
and to consume the wrong types of foods. Some of the tell-tale
signs of carbohydrate addiction include fatigue, mood swings,
and migraines which can be caused by low blood sugar.
A carb addiction can lead you to consume a whole bag of
pretzels at one sitting, or to indulge in half a cake at dinner
time. Your body is conditioned to eat as many carbs as possible.
Thus, it may seem that at times you're never really

All you need to know about carbs
Carbs are a part of nearly every dieter's vocabulary. A number
of diets are famous for fighting carb consumption. But you
should know that not every carbohydrate is created alike. While
it is true that you can lose weight by cutting carbs, carbs are
also necessary for a good diet.
To begin with, we should define our terms. Carbs are derived
from a number of different sources. They are present in bread,
pasta, fruits, and vegetables. There are also a number of
different types of carbs. For instance, carbs come in the form
of sugars, starches, and fiber.
For the most part, the digestive system divides carbs into
sugar molecules which can be taken into (read full article) |

The Hidden Secrets to Weight Loss After Pregnancy
Sarah is a pregnant mother of three who continues to
breast-feed her 18-month-old. After each of her pregnancies, she
has had difficulty losing weight. With all of her
responsibilities, weight loss isn't a priority. Still, she
wishes that, once this pregnancy is over, she will be able to
return to her pre-marriage weight.
The average woman gains more than 25 pounds during her
pregnancy. The procedure of childbirth may result in a weight
loss of up to 14 pounds, which means that new moms still have
considerable weight to lose once they leave the hospital.
However, some women simply assume that this "baby fat" will
never go away. Yet, it (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Are you addicted to food? |
| |
|
You may overdose on potato chips or tortilla chips once in a
while, but would you consider yourself to be a food addict? The
answer is important, because it could be the key to determining
what course of action you need to take in order to lose weight.
A number of medical experts say that food addiction is just as
serious as nicotine or cocaine addiction--and can potentially be
just as deadly.
When you suffer from food addiction, you have an overwhelming
desire for a particular food. The desire is so strong, in fact,
that if you are unable to consume that food, you suffer from
withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and depression.
Food addicts crave the comfort that a particular (read full article) |

Prescription drug coverage is an important aspect of overall
health care coverage. This article will briefly discuss the
types of coverage that are available, as well as some things you
should be aware of when choosing a plan.
Most people obtain their prescription drug coverage as a part of
their overall medical insurance plan. Most medical plans include
some form of prescription drug coverage, and some states
actually require employers to include this coverage in the
medical plans that they offer to employees. Whether purchased
independently or in combination with other coverage, the
available types of coverage are similar.
Traditional, or fee-for-service coverage is the most common form (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Weight Lifting Exercises & Their Affect On Different Muscle
Fibers |
| |
|
Weight lifting exercises cause your muscles to generate heat and
strength. Your muscles need to be strong, in order to help you
move, breathe and so on.
This article on weight lifting exercises will look at the
relationship between the exercises you use when weight lifting
and your muscles.
Your actual muscle tissue is made up of 2 types of muscle
fibers, actin, which are a slim fiber and myosin which are
substantially thicker. Both of these fiber types help to give
your muscles a striated look about them.
When performing any exercises used in weight lifting the muscle
being exercised must be able to contract properly. To do this
they need to become stimulated by motor neurons. These are (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Why most health professionals can only give temporary back pain
relief |
| |
|
Copyright 2006 Rick Rakauskas
In the last article, one of the key points was: When muscles
along our spine are injured, the nerve paths to those muscles in
many cases are NOT restored without undue delay. (We at the
Better Back system believe this happens because most of us most
of the time DON'T use our backs as Nature intended.)
So when our muscles are out of balance ... pulling strongly on
one side of the spine ... when there is little or no resistance
on the other side ... because the muscles have been switched off
by the brain ... and have not yet been switched back on again
(sometimes years later) ... is it any wonder we experience
constant or regularly recurring back pain? Now to a (read full article) |
