The lifestyle questionnaire is designed to get info about your personal health situation and the team use this in order to give you personal advice on what you can do to improve you quest in weight loss. The Diet Generator was fantastic and allows you to tell it what food you like and dislike, then transforms this information into a 2 week eating plan!

The forum was a good community full of people with the same goals who where sharing their experiences and achievements.

There are many sites out there that claim to help you lose weight, but I can tell you from my knowledge that most are scams, and a lot are very unhealthy. The Simple Diet Guide is none of these and it is definitely worth the small investment as they claim, and I back them up on the fact that you WILL lose weight if you stick to this plan.

  • Hair Loss and its Treatment

    Posted on November 18th, 2009 joediv No comments

    We’ve all heard about the marvels of lasers, from the technological breakthroughs in laser surgery to whitening teeth. But did you know that there have been breakthroughs using lasers as a hair loss treatment using low-light lasers? In fact, the technology behind lasers as a hair loss treatment, also called “laser hair regrowth therapy” has been around for more than twenty years, and has been used extensively in Europe successfully treating hair loss.

    Causes:

    1. Over-styling – Hairstyles like cornrows or ponytails that pull or tug on the hair follicles (Tension Alopecia) can have a devastating effect on hair roots, causing them to weaken, miniaturize (thin) and eventually die. Once dead, a hair follicle will never regrow. Use of harsh chemicals and straighteners on hair run the risk of scarring the scalp and damaging or killing hair root leading to hair loss.

    2. Stress – Stress has been shown to directly impact losing their hair. Scientists believe stress can change hormone levels that affect the hair follicle.

    Treatment:

    1. For graying of hairs, add black sesame and eclipta alba in equal quantity, chew one teaspoonful of this mixture in the morning on an empty stomach and drink fresh water over it. Take daily for six months. It is successful for all persons up to 40.

    2. Iron is one of the other most important parts of the body. Iron deficiency can cause anemia and hair loss. Good sources of iron are red meat, clams, dried fruit, cream of wheat and broccoli. These will keep you diet well balanced is key to growth of your hair.

    3. Greasy or oily hair will benefit from a rinse made with lemon balm, rosemary, lavender or mint. All these herbs will calm the scalp and reduce the sebum production. Learn more about natural remedy or shampoo for oily hair.

    4. Before you wash your hair, apply uncooked egg yolk on to your scalp and massage gently. Keep massaging for about 45 minutes to an hour. You will start to feel more relaxed as the tension releases under your soothing hands. Do this for 2 to 3 times each week before your hair wash.

    5. Take several limes and rub over the whole scalp. Follow up with egg white. Then wrap your hair in a clean towel overnight. The next day, wash your hair with lukewarm water, and rinse with cold water. Try this at least twice a week.

    6. A good alternative is to use natural hair loss treatments. For example, Saw Palmetto is an herbal DHT inhibitor, which is not only cheaper than commercial drugs but also has no side effects. Currently there are natural treatments available in the market, which include Saw Palmetto as a primary ingredient. Another natural ingredient, which prevents conversion of testosterone to DHT thus reducing the overall DHT level, is zinc.

    7. Consult an expert in laser hair regrowth therapy – There are many less-than-legit treatment clinics opening up, claiming to know the business. Anyone can purchase a low light laser and call himself an expert. But an expert clinic will employ both doctors specializing in treatment, and knowledgeable consultants on their teams. When you decide to look into laser hair regrowth therapy, be sure to check the pedigree of the clinic you’re visiting.

  • Stop Alcohol Intake to Improve Sexual Health

    Posted on November 15th, 2009 joediv No comments

    Alcohol intake creates sexual health problem like sexual dysfunction, scarcity of mature sperms, pregnancy problems, and sexual dysfunction in women. To stay away from these sexual health problems, there is only one solution i.e. to stop alcohol intake completely. Otherwise you may get prone to one of these sexual health problems. This would lead to the further ramifications of the problems in the health of the person. Even the relationship between man and woman is being considerably affected due to the sexual health problems.

    Ingestion of alcohol is never good for the health. In few studies or in research articles it has been recommended that alcohol intake in limit can turn out to be good for the health. But, I totally discard all these claims because nobody is able to keep the alcohol intake in limit. Once the person starts drinking alcohol he gets addicted to it and you never know when you cross the limits. This is why I recommend staying away from the alcohol. You will be surprised that every year 7% of deaths are noted to the diseases caused due to the alcohol intake. Alcohol puts lot of negative impact on the health of the individual. As the overall health is affected it ultimately puts adverse effect on the sexual health of the individual.

    Alcohol intake is generally done through the form of the drinks. As the alcohol enters the body the person feels the euphoria like feeling. His brain is unable to control the activities that it generally controls during the normal state. Alcohol when taken in excessive amount, the digestive system is not able to cope with it. This way it gets mixed with the blood and gets circulated to the different parts of the body. These body parts sometimes react abnormally to the alcohol because they are not used to it. When the alcohol reaches the male reproductive system, the organ reacts abnormally to it. The nerves in it are affected adversely, which looses the control over the system. In this sexual health problem, the man loses the control over the ejaculation i.e. he ejaculates too quickly within 1 to 2 minutes.

    The negative impact of the alcohol is observed on the sperm production. Alcohol suppresses the sperm production. It even destroys the mature sperms. This ultimately makes the person infertile. The alcohol content in the body disturbs the enzyme production process in the male reproductive system. Due to this some enzymes are produced in excess and production of few enzymes is stopped completely. The enzyme PDE-5 is produced in too much quantity that ultimately results in the lack of required blood supply to the male reproductive system that causes Sexual dysfunction problem in the men. So, this way the sexual health of the men is completely damaged, thus making him impotent.

    Women also face the lot of sexual health problems due to the alcohol intake. Women who drink a lot generally face the problem in conceiving. This is because there ovulation process is being disturbed due to the alcohol intake. The problem of sexual dysfunction is noted commonly among the alcoholic women, which means that the sensitivity of their intimate parts is completely lost. Due to this these women feel completely disinterested in the sex. They fail to attain the orgasm and any sensation during the sexual activity. Alcohol intake should be strictly prohibited by the pregnant women because it may lead to the miscarriage. So, to safeguard the sexual health one should give up the alcohol intake completely.

  • The Complete Guide To Good Food For A Diet

    Posted on November 4th, 2009 joediv No comments

    So many people want to know what is good food for a diet. When I say: “the complete guide to good food for a diet” most will probably think that I am taking a fat change here! It will surprise you though, to find that “good food for a diet” is not that difficult. Most common everyday foods are excellent weight loss food.

    1. What is the secret then?

    If you want to lose weight, you have to follow a well balanced diet combined with moderate exercise. This will ensure long term healthy weight loss.

    2. But, I promised you a guide, so here it is:

    Pig our on veggies, yes you are reading this right, pig out on veggies. Most vegetables are very low in calories and packed with nutrition. There are some though, that are better for fat loss than others.

    * Green vegetables:

    Most green vegetables are excellent for weight loss. Take note though, that peas are very high in carbs and must rather be considered a carbohydrate than a green vegetable. You also have to take care that you do not add calories with your cooking methods; for instance, spinach can be considered a free vegetable, but as soon as you make creamed spinach it becomes very high in calories and are completely unsuitable.

    * Yellow vegetables:

    Here you can go overboard. Carrots are a very good choice and even pumpkin, if you do not add anything can taste very good and be very satisfying.

    * Salads:

    Especially in summer, when salads really taste good, eat as much salad as possible. Here, once again, beware of adding calories. Most salad dressings simply crawl with calories. Make your own with fresh ingredients so that you can control what goes into it.

    * Meat:

    When it comes to meat, good food for a diet is mainly chicken and fish. Low fat beef and pork can be eaten in smaller quantities. As far as the chicken goes, try and stick to the breast as it contains the smallest amount of fat, it is almost fat free. Once again, do not add calories with your cooking methods, grill or steam are the best.

    * Legumes:

    Legumes are excellent food for a diet. They are low fat, contains lots of fiber to make you feel satisfied and combined with small amounts of carbs they supply your body with complete proteins to use as building blocks.

    * Carbohydrates:

    Do not cut out carbs completely. Your body needs them to burn for energy. You have to cut down though and eat no more than five small portions a day. Keep to whole grains and low fat options. Remember that you can include rice, potatoes and peas here.

    * Dairy products:

    Here you have to be careful. Only eat low fat or fat free dairy products and beware of hard cheeses as they normally are very high in fat and crawls with calories! A good choice as food for a diet is fat free, unflavored, unsweetened yoghurt. Use it in your cooking and as salad dressings.

    * Fat:

    Normally fat can not be considered as food for a diet. Your body does need some fat, though, to be able to use the fat soluble vitamins so you need to eat about three teaspoons of fat or oil a day.

    So, there you have your complete guide to food for a diet! I hope it will help you in your weight loss efforts.
