"Learn Secrets The Health Industry Don't Want You To Know About Losing Weight"

Many years ago I was obese. My weight was over 150kg and my health suffered drastically.
Breathing was a problem because of the excess weight on my chest also,

• Sleeping was a problem
• My back and legs actually ached

Can you imagine how I felt? I had no self esteem and as a consequence I didn't go out into the world, and so my friends and family disappeared.
"I was totally alone."
Then one day all my problems came to a head. My spinal disc fused onto my hip because of all the weight.
Doctors informed me that in the near future I would be wheel chair bound.
"This was my darkest time."
After years of devouring pain killers and realising I was not getting any better I changed my lifestyle.

• I started walking for many hours a day.
• I also went to the Gym and participated in equipment workouts as well as Aerobics.
• I became an expert in Yoga and worked on this as well, every day.
• I tried every diet known to man; from Antioxidant diets to Dr. Zuess diets.

In all honesty, I felt great. My energy levels were more than I ever possessed. There was only I problem-I was still 150kgs. All my fat had converted into muscle. BUMMER, I still found it difficult to find decent clothes and when I looked in the mirror I STILL LOOKED FAT.
I was devistated. I decided to learn about my condition. There must be something I am missing. I studied Nutrition and eventually became a Nutritionalist. I feverishly learnt everything I could about being over weight or obese.
It was at this time I learnt a very important concept about weight management. You can diet and exercise as much as you wish but if your body has a low Metabolism or a slow Metabolism it is almost impossible to lose weight.
At last I had an answer to my problems and I was determined to see if this was the correct answer. Through my study I found there were many vitamins and minerals that can help with this condition. To me this was Very Exciting.
Many years have passed. I have learnt a great deal. Yes, vitamins, minerals and a great diet can help but many companies provide these much needed things in pill form that actually cost a fortune to buy. The problem is that most vitamins and minerals are sold separately and as such you need to buy each-which is incredibly expensive. Also, it takes time to work out which tablet you need, take it (which is usually like taking a horse tablet) and then the next day repeat the process.
"NO WONDER PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TAKING VITAMINS AND MINERALS'.
A few months ago an advertisement came across my email. A product that is naturally made. All essential vitamins and minerals are together in a -----Drink, which is taken during the day. Because all the vitamins and minerals you need are in one refreshing drink the purchase cost is incredibly low.
The taste is more like a sparkling fruit drink it is brilliant. It has a very low percentage of sugar and natural caffiene.
IMAGINE NO MORE EATING TRUCK LOADS OF HORSE TABLETS, NO MORE EXPENSIVE SEARCHES OF THINGS YOU MAY NOT NEED.
A PRODUCT THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND IS CONSUMED IN OVER 50 COUNTRIES ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Since using this wonderful product I have lost over 70kgs. I have not experienced any pain, my body feels wonderfully healthy and I have excess energy.
"I FEEL WONDERFUL"
After many years of trying so many diets and physical pursuits that did not help in actual weight loss I finally found a reason why I didn't lose the weight and things I can do to help-without changing my lifestyle.
Even though the Vitamins and Minerals from many nutritional companies help with this problem it can be hard to find what you need, expensive to buy and incredibly difficult to swallow.
The product I have found is very inexpensive and all the essential vitamins and minerals are found in one refreshing, sparkling drink. The product is all natural with low sugar and caffiene. I am now my perfect body weight and have energy to burn.
This product is guaranteed to work. If you are sick of the expense and eating horse tablets contact me through my website. You will be totally amazed and impressed with the product-I guarantee it. More information is provided when you click here.

Diabetes 101 - Is Diabetes the New Epidemic?

By Georgina J Goodwin

What does it mean to you if you have the condition called Diabetes? The answer to this is complicated. You could be predisposed to various conditions such as:

• Heart Disease, Stroke
• High Blood Pressure
• Blindness
• Kidney Disease
• Nervous System Disease
• Amputation

These conditions sound terrifying and truthfully they are. However, I believe the best way to overcome such fear is to learn about them. I have written down some information that everyone should know if they have Diabetes.
TYPE 1 DIABETES:
Type 1 Diabetes is when the body stops producing insulin altogether. The body's immune system attacks and destroys insulin producing cells made in the Pancreas. Diabetes Type 1 mostly occurs in children and young adults but can occur in maturity. Approximately ten to fifteen percent (10-15%) of all diagnosed Diabetes is actually Type 1 Diabetes.
TYPE 2 DIABETES:
When the body does not make enough insulin or the insulin is not properly absorbed in the cells, this is called Type 2 Diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes can be controlled if diagnosed early and adhering to these general rules.

• A healthy Diet
• Exercise (up to 30 minutes, 3 times a week)
• Use the medications given by a professional.

Medications can be either in a oral form or injections. It is noted however, that most people that contract Type 2 Diabetes will eventually be using injections as they get older.
There are many risk factors that can cause Type 2 Diabetes. These include:

• Family History
• Obesity
• Inactivity
• Other health conditions, for example, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

A high percentage of people have Type 2 Diabetes, eighty-five to ninety percent (85-90%.)
Gestational Diabetes:
This is the third type of Diabetes. Gestational Diabetes is usually a temporary form of Diabetes. It is thought that hormones produced during pregnancy block the mother's insulin from being absorbed or formed from the pancreas.
Gestational Diabetes can be controlled with diet and insulin injections or via insulin pumps.
Even though Gestational Diabetes is a temporary form of Diabetes it can re-emerge as the woman matures. This Diabetes is called Diabetes Type 2. Factors that can re-emerge Type 2 Diabetes can include family history.
As noted there are three types of Diabetes. While they are incurable, they can be controlled through; diet,exercise and the use of the proper medications.
Exercise:
This should be Cardio Vascular in nature, for example walking, jogging, going to the gym. Professionals recommend you do exercise for thirty minutes (30min), three times (3) per week.
Diet:
There is a large amount of controversy, regarding this subject. Some say to eat whole foods such as Brown Rice and Wholemeal pastas, for example. Whilst it is true to watch your diet and not over indulge in such foods as cakes, chips, greasy takeaway meals, the general conception is that you may eat whatever food you wish, just don't over indulge.
Natural Products:
There are a large source of Natural Products that can help in the control of Diabetes. Being natural these products do not aggrevate your condition. There are many types of natural products from pill form to once-a-day drinks. They are made organically and are regarded highly by the American Industry Codes. Unfortunately, you cannot buy many of these natural products over the counter, many are bought and sold directly from the business.
In summary, yes Diabetes is now in epidemic proportions. Even though this disease has quite a few terrible side effects the good news is there are ways to control it. As stated exercise, diet and medications can definitely bring your Diabetes under control. Remember,

Diabetes is not a death sentence!

I wish to thank many excellent researchers in this field including the American Government that allowed me to research statistics and the NDSA (Australian Diabetes Association). It is my hope that people will accept my information and use it to promote health and vitality within their lives.

WHAT IS BIPOLAR DISORDER?

Bipolar disorder affects the normal use of the brain.  It can cause severe mood swings from elation to deep depression.  This condition used to be called Manic Depression.

Whilst it is unknown why Bipolar Disorder has come about it is thought to be more common within families.

Bipolar Disorder usually affects one in two hundred people within their lifetimes and usually the affects are shown in young adults.  Treatment usually includes mind stabilizers that helps ease depressive episodes and manic episodes.

There are two types of Bipolar Disorder:

Bipolar 1 Disorder

Is when there is a high manic episode followed by depression

Bipolar 2 Disorder

Is severe depression followed by a less extreme manic episode.

Bipolar disorder can affect relationships, working environment and school.  Even though this ailment is treatable many people cannot recognize the warning signs.  Bipolar Disorder can show worse affects without treatment as such those that suffer from this should know the signs.  Recognizing the signs is the first steps of getting better.

Bipolar Disorder self-help

Bipolar Disorder shows itself by being dangerously manic in one instance to very depressed in the next.  This disorder can last days, weeks and months.  Unlike other mood swings Bipolar Disorder can affect ways of thinking and life situations.

During a manic episode the sufferer can indulge in such things as quitting a job on impulse, spending huge amounts on credit cards or feeling fresh after two hours of sleep.  On the other hand the sufferer can feel self loathing, can’t get out of bed, or even feel suicidal.

This disorder can easily be overlooked by the medical profession hence the sufferer does not know what it is they have.  However, with the right diagnosis and treatment the sufferer can have a happy life.

Bipolar disorder can be affect people differently.   Some people suffer more from manic episodes than depression and vice versa.

The mania part of bipolar disorder makes the person on top of the world with heightened feelings of grandiose.  They can feel all powerful and destined for greatness.

Unfortunately the effects of mania can spiral out of control.  These people can start acting extravagantly; gambling away money and inappropriate sexual behaviors are just some of the examples that can happen.  They can become angry and lash out at others, blaming them for wrong doings.  Some people even become delusional and start hearing voices.

In the past Bipolar Depression was thought of as normal depression.  However, professionals now say that they are very different.  Many people with Bipolar Depression do not feel better with antidepressant medications.  Antidepressants can make the bipolar patient feel a lot worse and can interfere with other mind altering drugs.

Following are 10 natural antidepressants:

·         Exercise helps with depression so take a walk or join a gym etc.

·         Omega 3 can help the brain work more effectively. Try taking salmon or walnuts these can help with the nervous system as well.

·         Daily vitamins and minerals are a must.  Experts recommend vitamin B-12, thiamine, and vitamin D-3 to name a few.  You can get such vitamins in leafy vegetables, proteins, and nuts.

·         Light therapy seems to help a great deal.

·         Caffeine, alcohol, smoking can make the effects worse.

·         Make sure that the patient has a decent sleep

·         Have a healthy breakfast in the morning

·         Meditation and yoga are great ways to bring a peaceful mind into the fore.

It is known that vitamins and minerals are excellent in calming down the effects of manic and depressant states.  Now a-days such nutritious needs can be found in all natural drinks that are inexpensive and very tasty.  Please go to  www.energy2burn.weebly.com

It is very important for a Bipolar Disorder sufferer to know the symptoms and causes of their episodes.  With proper medications, exercise and nutrition the symptoms can relinquish and they can have a very fulfilling life.  No matter what the excuse Bipolar Disorder must be understood by those close to the sufferer so they can get support.
