Statistics from the United States indicate that the rate of obesity and overweight people have reached epidemic proportions. 11% of children, for example, are obese, according to the World Heart Federation Fact Sheet, 2002. 50% of women aged 20 to 74 are overweight or obese, according to The National Women’s Health Information Center. The statistics for men in all age groups are no better. A solution to weight loss is necessary.
Being overweight carries certain health risks, the main one being heart disease and the possibility of heart attacks. Of course, the determination of obesity should be left to a doctor that everyone is different because of the fat and muscle on a body weight basis. So do not try diet automatically if you are about 20 pounds overweight; your doctor to establish the existence of a prior solution to weight loss is necessary.
Do not make the mistake of following the traditional methods of trying to lose weight. It is not necessary to substantially reduce your calories, or nearly starve yourself, combined with vigorous exercise.

In the system Shifting Calories certain types of calories are handled at each meal. Fat calories are not manipulated, just carbohydrates and proteins. You are presented with an extensive list of foods and then demonstrated how to manipulate these to gain maximum weight loss. There is no skimping at mealtime; you eat only until you are satisfied.

The danger of an intense aerobic work output is discussed. How do these work output burn mostly carbohydrates, not fat. Over student exercise your own breathing and heartbeat and then your body burns primarily carbohydrates.

The plan for the transfer of calories, then, could be an effective and permanent weight loss solution.

Exercise May Relieve Menopause Symptoms
November 1st, 2009
Your New Year’s resolution to exercise more often could also help relieve some common symptoms of menopause. A new study done in Pennsylvania suggested that regular physical exercise may help reduce many of the menopausal afflictions that women deal with, including stress, anxiety and depression.
This approach seems much safer than hormonal replacement therapy for women afflicted by the effects of menopause, although the researchers admit that there doesn’t seem to be a significant relationship between exercise and the elimination of hot flashes.
There is, however, a substantial reduction in the levels of depression, anxiety and stress among women who are physically active. Women who do not engage in regular physical activity are much more likely to suffer from these negative symptoms.
The study is significant for several reasons. While exercise does not appear to impact some of temporary symptoms, such as hot flashes, it has a much more substantial effect on many of the long-term ailments that are associated with menopause.
The surprising aspect of the study was that the level of physical activity necessary to decrease the symptoms of menopause was minimal. Just walking a short distance as a part of a daily routine, for example, was enough to have a positive impact.
It was interesting to note that, as a group, black women tend to suffer more from menopausal symptoms than whites and that moderate exercise seems to have a more significant impact for this demographic as well.
One reason for hot flashes in women is a fluctuation of hormone levels which affect the brain’s center controlling body temperature.
Other research indicated that while exercise does not appear to reduce the number of hot flashes that menopausal women experience, those who are physically active tend to “care less about having them.”
This finding supports the psychological, as well as physical, benefits that exercise offers. The reduced levels of estrogen that accompanies menopause does lead to an increase of stress, anxiety and depression. The mental benefits of physical activity is significant in terms of reducing the intensity of these symptoms.
