Rest Periods Probably Do Not Increase Weight Loss

post from Fitness & Health with Dr. Gabe Mirkin on 22 September 2007 05:41:00 PM. © Fitness & Health with Dr. Gabe Mirkin

Researchers at the University of Tokyo claim that they have shown that intermittent exercise will help you to lose more weight than continuous exercise at the same intensity. Seven men participated in three different trials: 1) one hour at an intensity equal to 60 percent of maximum oxygen uptake; 2) 30 minutes at the same intensity followed by a 20-minute rest, followed by 30 more minutes of exercise at the same intensity; and 3) one hour of rest. The trial with two bouts of 30 minutes separated by a 20-minute rest burned the most fat. This intermittent exercise trial resulted in higher blood free fatty acid, glycerol and epinephrine levels, and significantly lower values of insulin and glucose.

If these researchers are correct, scientists may need to revamp their ideas about the best exercise regimen for weight loss, recommending multiple bouts of exercise with intermittent rest periods. However, there may be another way to explain the results of this study. Fat cells release fat during exercise and then reabsorb some of that fat during rest. During the intermittent exercise trial, fat cells would release fat in the first bout of exercise, some of the released fat would return during the rest period, and then during the second bout of exercise, the fat cells would appear to have released more fat because they released new fat and some of the more-soluble fat that had returned to the fat cells. The increase in fat loss would be due to the fat that had re-entered the cells during the rest period, and would not make any difference in total weight loss.

Unless the researchers can show that intermittent exercise burns more total fat than continuous exercise, there is no need to change your exercise routine. Weight loss is determined by how hard and how long you exercise, not by the timing of your rest periods. Journal reference; more on exercise for weight loss

Parkinsonâ€™s Disease - Diagnosis, Symptoms and
Treatments

post from Aging Disease and Health on 22 September 2007 05:01:45 AM. © Aging Disease and Health

Tip! Rinse with mouthwashes or oral rinses daily. These products help kill bacteria lodged beneath the gums and aid in reversing gum disease.

Sitting opposite a doctor and trying to listen as you are handed a Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis is a life defining moment.

Even if your physical symptoms:

Tremor/shaking

Unsteadiness/problems with balance

Uncoordinated movements/clumsiness

Impaired walking ability

Muscle rigidity

had aroused suspicions within you, it is still shocking to hear the words spoken out loud. Shock causes a kind of mental paralysis that can prevent you hearing and processing the words being spoken and you leave the consultation in confusion and distress.

Tip! Visit your doctor and have an annual medical check-up to prevent diseases.

Parkinson’s Disease is notoriously difficult to diagnose, especially in the early stages and mis-diagnosis is not uncommon. The important thing is to learn as much as you can about the syndrome; the causes, the risks, the treatments and the things you can do for yourself. Having full information can reduce stress levels and this is important as high stress levels have been shown to increase the severity of the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease.

New treatments for Parkinson’s Disease are at the cutting edge of current research with experiments being conducted with stem cells and gene therapy. However, in the first instance you should not be surprised if no treatment is offered when you are diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Some doctors are reluctant to start medication for mild symptoms as the effectiveness of current prescription drugs has been shown to reduce over time and some also have associated side-effects. It is often the case that medication is not commenced until the symptoms begin to severely impact daily life.

Tip! Make sure to have great water quality. Since poor water quality is the greatest case of fish disease and death you’ll want to be diligent about your tank maintenance and partial water changes.

It is true that, at the moment, there is no cure for Parkinson’s Disease but this is not a cause for despair. There is an enormous amount individuals can do for themselves to supplement drug treatments by making adjustments to diet and lifestyle; symptoms can be minimised and controlled for many years and research is uncovering more possibilities on an almost daily basis.

Symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until between twenty and fifty years after exposure, which explains why so many new cases of this form of cancer are coming to light now, even though the dangers of asbestos were realized long ago and measures taken to reduce the risk of the disease.
