Pediatric Obesity and Vitamin Deficiency- Developments to fight future diseaseWritten by Lauren Jackson
Obesity, especially in children, is a matter of rapidly growing concern in United States. For first time in decades, we are projecting a decline in life expectancy for current generation of pre-teens and children! This crisis has attracted attention of everyone from former president Bill Clinton to Surgeon General to pediatricians and parents everywhere. Not only is childhood obesity decreasing life span of today's kids, but it's also affecting their quality of life. Diseases that we used to see primarily in adults are cropping up in children, even toddlers. Diabetes, emphysema, and other troubling health issues are beginning to plague people at younger and younger ages.Solving Crisis of Childhood Obesity New research tells us that primary cause of our obesity problems is, ironically, malnutrition! Although our kids are eating a lot more food, they are simply not getting vitamins and minerals they need. This means that their bodies will continue to crave food, desperate for necessary elements of survival. Dr. Anhalt is a world-renowned endocrinologist and childhood obesity expert. He has studied problem, and found a way to reverse it. "EssentiaLean" is a product he has created to offer our children's bodies vitamins and minerals needed to finally satiate bone-deep need for building blocks such as antioxidants and vitamins B12, E, and D. When human body is getting what it needs, compulsive search for more and more food can be eliminated. Vitamin And Nutrient Deficiencies The causes for obesity are proving to be more complex than were once thought, and more and more researchers are looking to vitamin and nutrient deficiencies to explain problem. It used to be that obesity, especially in children, was thought to be a result of lack of willpower, even lack of parental supervision. Now, however, there is new information coming to light that is dramatically changing how we think about weight and weight gain. Our bodies need real, complete nutrition in order to function, to process oxygen, to think, and to act. This means adequate amounts of vitamins like B6, E, Folic acid, and Biotin. Proper nutrition also means getting quality minerals into our systems like copper, manganese, and zinc.
| | What Helps Insomnia?Written by Jason Rickard
To answer question of what helps people with insomnia you must first look at cause of condition.Many people can not go to sleep at night or it may take them a long time to fall asleep, this can be brought on by many different things. It can be stress, worrying about tomorrow’s schedule, or wondering what that new sound outside could be. If you are among this group, like I am, then you must find ways to turn off your brain. If you are just lying there and aren’t sleepy at all, get up and do something to take your mind off of whatever is occupying it. Read a book or take a warm bath. You need to relax before you go to bed. If you always go to bed at let’s say 10pm, but your mind is still racing, you may not be in state of mind required for a good nights sleep. You must be in a relaxed state to drift of into that deep sleep necessary to tackle day ahead.
