Houston, TX (PRWEB) May 20, 2013

When developing diet plans, many factors such as lifestyle preferences, age, gender and personality, are taken into consideration to help patients discover the best ways to lose weight fast. Researchers have previously determined that there is a clear connection between certain personality traits and weight gain. Diet Doc considers the science behind these studies and others when creating their personalized hCG diet plans. Now, a new study exploring the effect weight gain may have on an individual?s short term and long term personality traits may offer even more information for Diet Doc patients that want to lose weight fast.

The study, just published in the Journal of Psychological Science, investigates the deep connections between the mind and the body in the report, ?I Know Not To, but I Can?t Help It: Weight Gain and Changes in Impulsivity-Related Personality Traits.? In the ten-year observation, researchers were eager to determine if weight gain was associated with personality changes in the same way that personality traits often influence weight gain. They found that significant weight gain is associated with increases in impulsive decision making as well as deliberation. More specifically, researchers found that subjects gaining more than 10% of their baseline body weight were more likely to give in to temptation. Most studies on the effect of weight gain and weight loss provide insight to weight loss professionals who develop diet plans, but this study in particular may help patients understand how to control their temptations to overeat and provide motivation to lose weight fast and gain control of their impulses.

One main focus of Diet Doc?s hCG diet plans is to help patients control appetite and cravings thereby helping them lose weight fast, and keep it off long-term by creating healthy habits. Learning that weight gain itself affects personality traits for impulse control will help patients lose weight fast and regain control of their eating habits. Diet Doc understands that achieving this initial weight loss can be difficult to many because of uncontrollable between meal cravings and hunger, and offers patients medical assistance to relieve those temptations to overindulge and create new healthy eating habits.

Diet Doc's hCG diet plans incorporate the use of the naturally occurring hormone, hCG, where appropriate to help patients lose weight fast and overcome those personality traits that often derail fast weight loss. When used as a weight loss tool, hCG treatments act as a powerful appetite suppressant while also mobilizing unnecessary excess fat storage that often doesn?t respond to diet change alone. In addition to hCG treatments, Diet Doc?s hCG diet plans teach patients how to lose weight fast through low-calorie, nutrient rich snacks and meals. Patients work closely with a team of professional weight loss experts to develop a healthy eating plan that works around their lifestyle and food preferences. Diet Doc believes that personality traits do not have to determine weight gained or lost and patients can take control of their weight and their lives through Diet Doc?s hCG diet plans.

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 17, 2013

One of the United Kingdom's most senior doctors, Professor Christopher Hawkey, warns to an English newspaper that obesity will overtake alcohol as the main cause of liver cirrhosis in the not too distant future with more than five out of six people unaware that the disease is linked to excess weight. The Guardian reports that obesity has already become the main cause of less serious forms of liver damage and disease, but cirrhosis is the end stage, an irreversible scarring that causes the organ to deteriorate. A BSG poll of 1,959 people found that while the majority understood that obesity could cause diabetes, high blood pressure and infertility, few understood its link to certain cancers or liver damage. The study revealed that the average age of death from liver damage is 59 compared with between 82 and 84 for heart and lung disease and strokes.

The liver, the body?s largest internal organ, is responsible for a variety of functions, including detoxification and production of bio-chemicals necessary for digestion, as well as playing a major role in metabolism. Lying below the diaphragm in the abdominal-pelvic region of the abdomen, the liver produces bile, aiding in digestion. Without the liver, survival is not possible. Stored, trapped, and built-up fat hiding in the cells of the liver causes injury and inflammation leading to severe liver damage, cirrhosis, or even liver failure. Those suffering from diabetes are far more likely to have fatty liver disease and those who are overweight are far more likely to develop diabetes. Losing weight can help control blood sugar levels and can also reduce the build-up of fat in the liver, preventing further injury to this vital organ.

Diet Doc recognizes that obesity is a controllable factor in the risk for liver damage and disease and offers tailor made diet plans that fit comfortably into each dieter?s lifestyle. Offering practical and sensible weight loss, Diet Doc remains committed to helping all Americans lose weight and avoid liver damage while learning to make healthy food choices and lifestyle changes to assure a future of long term weight maintenance and good health.

Diet Doc's improved hCG diet plans offer one of the safest and most successful methods to lose weight fast, reducing risk of many weight related complications. Benefiting from decades of fast weight loss research combined with the knowledge and expertise of specially trained doctors, nurses and nutritionists, Diet Doc has revolutionized dieting with the development of the nation's leading medically supervised prescription hCG diet plans.

The combination of prescription hCG, which is prescribed subsequent to a detailed, yet simple, medical evaluation and doctor consultation, and individualized diet plans that are customized to each patient's personal nutritional requirements signals the hypothalamus to target stores of "abnormal" or trapped fat to be released into the bloodstream to be burned as a primary source of energy. ?Abnormal? fat refers to fat which should normally be used as energy reserves, but is trapped in areas of the underarms, thighs, hips and belly. Diet Doc's prescription hCG diet plans help the body reestablish a healthy basal metabolism through proven weight loss and proper nutrition, also triggering the body to burn abnormal body fat while retaining muscle mass. Because Diet Doc's prescription hCG is enhanced with energy-boosting Vitamin B12, its hCG diet plans promote safe and fast weight loss while offering the dieter a feeling of satiety without loss of energy, a common side-effect of a reduced calorie diet.

Diet Doc urges those that have been unsuccessful at losing weight in the past to join the thousands who have achieved safe and fast weight loss and are enjoying improved health by losing dangerous excess fat with medically supervised prescription hCG diet plans.

Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) April 30, 2013

1-800-PetMeds?, America?s Largest Pet Pharmacy, donates items to the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society located in Newnan Georgia. The Newnan-Coweta Humane Society works hard to house homeless pets, and educate the public about pet over-population. The humane society holds a low-cost spay/neuter clinic the third Saturday of every month and PetMeds? contributed.

In order for the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society to offer such affordable spay and neuter rates, they count on sponsors to donate goods for their annual Fur Ball fundraiser. So this month, PetMeds? helped out by donating items for the fundraiser?s silent auction, which helped make the fundraiser a true success.

"1-800-PetMeds? has been a great help with our 'Fur Ball Event' and has always helped me/NCHS when in need.

I want to say thank you all," said Tammy Morningstar, Newnan-Coweta Humane Society.

PetMeds? is no stranger to helping pets in need. In fact, the company also donated traditional goods such as flea and tick preventatives, vitamins and supplements, which help keep pets living in the humane society in optimal health until they find their forever home.

"Humane Societies like the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society really inspire us to give back to individuals who make it their duty to take care of needy pets. In addition, just like PetMeds?, the Newnan-Coweta Humane Society strives to educate people about the importance of pet health, so we jumped at the opportunity to help them," said Dana Baca, PetMeds? Donations Coordinator.

Memphis, TN (PRWEB) July 14, 2012

Bikini Body Fat Burning System, the curvy woman?s secret to weight loss, has launched a new website to promote an extreme fat burning series of videos and e-books online. The timing of this website launch is helping to making it much easier for women to get the naturally sexy body that they search for in part through the Internet. The website, http://www.AbWorkoutsforWomen.co, is a global effort to help ladies that want to look like a knockout in a bikini to lose excess weight that they have carried through winter and spring. The informative e-books and videos that are provided are both free and premium content. Ladies that have been searching for easy workouts to do without leaving home can benefit from this new fat burning system.

According to the Health Resources and Services Administration, over 62.1 percent of women in the U.S. over the age of 18 are considered overweight or obese. This data has been compiled through measurements of the Body Mass Index system showing a scale of 25 or more points. Health and fitness centers nationwide have opened up or expanded efforts to attract more women to become fit.

?No woman wants to get into a bikini and have someone think she is fat,? said Marsha Doan, Creative Consultant for Bikini Body Fast Burning System. ?The mood swings, depression and obsession that women can face when struggling with excess weight is hard for a man to understand,? added Doan. Part of the new fat burning system offered online at AbWorkoutsforWomen.co helps women deal with stress and anxiety about being overweight.

Studies published in medical journals around the world have concluded that most diets are not the most helpful way to lose extra pounds. Each woman has a different internal system that includes her family history, personal metabolism and eating habits that all work together for or against weight loss. A large majority of the dietary supplements, crash diets and exercise routines marketed to women are frequently blasted by medical doctors that know the real secrets to shedding pounds and feeling more youthful.

The downloadable e-books, audio podcasts and streaming videos that are available from the AbWorkoutsforWomen.co website were put together from years of medical research and interviews with top doctors and nutritionists around the world. The information that a woman can take away from these learning aides can be the change that is needed to keep weight off for good. Women that are interested in getting a toned and sexy body for the summer in a new bikini can learn more information by visiting http://abworkoutsforwomen.co/?leads=shocking-fat-burning-trick-for-women.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) June 26, 2012

The Doctors Health Press, a publisher of various natural health newsletters, books, and reports, including the popular online Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, supports a study at the UCLA School of Medicine on how information technology could help improve outcomes for patients with diabetes.

As reported in Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin (http://www.doctorshealthpress.com/diabetes-articles/how-the-internet-is-helping-diabetics), researchers are studying the effectiveness of information technology on diabetics, mainly through enhanced education and 24-hour support. The researchers discovered that the Internet is a rich and effective place for diabetics to turn to.

The Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin article says one of the problems with treating diabetics is that it requires a daily effort?an often constant monitoring of symptoms. Many diabetics simply lose track of things after a while. There are too many medications and too many appointments, and symptoms start to worsen. Now there is help and support for those caught up in this daily struggle, and it comes via the internet.

For the first time, with online tools, clinicians are in a position to have a major impact on diabetes outcomes by providing affordable and ?just-in-time support? to large numbers of patients who want to improve their diabetes symptoms. Patients with diabetes often need a complex set of services and support including glucose monitoring, insulin and other medication management, psychotherapy and social support, physical activity promotion, nutrition counseling, and more.

The Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin article also reports that according to researchers, patient self-management of diabetes enabled by information technology has become an important factor in the way providers deliver health care. Patients now want an active role in managing their own health, and they also want a more collaborative relationship with their health care providers. The Internet is helping in this regard. Widespread, low-cost internet access is erasing existing geographic, economic, and demographic barriers to obtaining health information online. And now, with advanced web technologies, high levels of interactivity can engage a patient.

It seems the internet is good at delivering just-in-time tailored messages and experiences that speak to each person based on their unique characteristics; their performance on key behaviors, such as nutrition, blood pressure, and insulin levels; and their needs at that moment in time.

The internet is also providing diabetics with ways to easily and accurately keep track of their performance and use that knowledge to plan and implement new approaches to reaching their goals. The web offers ways to link directly to family and friends for critical support, and to link health care providers to help integrate medical care into everyday life.

Internet services now contain self-assessment tools and ways for someone with diabetes to monitor changes in blood sugar, insulin dosage, physical activity, weight, blood pressure, and mood. Someone with diabetes can now access their information online, input their data, and receive support 24 hours a day?all at a time and place most convenient for them.

One other important change that the researchers noted was that web-based learning and support technology helps diabetes patients learn to overcome barriers. And when it comes to diabetes, that?s what it?s all about: removing those barriers to symptom improvement and making every day just a little bit easier.

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) May 06, 2012

Could sleep disorder be inhibiting people from getting the promotion they have been reaching for or simply enjoying the quality of life that people are working so hard to achieve?

According to the National Sleep Foundation, it is recommended that adults get between 7-9 hours of sleep each night, and that 7 out of 10 American adults have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep at night.

Despite these statistics, The National Institute of Health still reports that there are 50-70 million Americans affected by sleep disorders, which may significantly diminish health, alertness and safety. Untreated sleep disorders have been linked to hypertension, heart disease, stroke, depression, diabetes and other chronic diseases.

The Institute of Medicine recently estimated in its report, Sleep Disorders and Sleep Deprivation: An Unmet Public Health Problem, that ?hundreds of billions of dollars a year are spent on direct medical costs related to sleep disorders such as doctor visits, hospital services, prescriptions, and over-the-counter medications.?

Sleep problems and lack of sleep can affect everything from personal and work productivity to behavioral and relationship problems. In fact, fatigue caused by sleep deprivation costs the U.S. economy a shocking $ 136 billion per year in health-related lost productivity alone. [1]

So where do the hundreds of thousands of people plagued by Sleep Disorders begin their search to find a solution? After medications fail to provide lasting relief, and alternative approaches such as yoga and meditation do not deliver all desired results, people with sleep disorders are in search of a permanent solution that will allow them to sleep without recurring disturbance, and without the side effects that over the counter or prescription medications may bring.

Several participants in the Trivedi Master Wellness? programs who have previously suffered from chronic sleep disorders are now claiming that their ability sleep peacefully throughout the night and wakeup feeling rested has been restored, after having received the Energy Transmissions associated with these programs.

The Trivedi Effect? integrates consciousness with scientific research and aims to vastly improve the human condition. Transmitting energy through mere thought intention, Mr. Trivedi?s gifted abilities have been measured, validated and documented in over 4,000 scientific studies and experiments to date, and published in a number of leading international Peer-Reviewed Journals.

The main objective of Mahendra Trivedi is to transform humans? lives for a higher purpose, ultimately bringing happiness to the lives of all people. Over 150,000 people have received Energy Transmissions to date, and thousands of these individuals claim that after their first transmission they are able to reach a state of peaceful sleep, and wake up feeling rested.

Here are some testimonials that illustrate the difference occurring in the lives of many participants of Trivedi?s Programs:

????"The sleep I do get is deeper than it used to be. My mood is almost always good.?
????"I noticed a big change in my sleeping habits at the Chicago retreat. I slept no more than 4-6 hours a night for over 20 years. I tried many items, including herbal remedies. Since Chicago, I have been averaging a full 7 hours a night. My focus is much clearer now.?
???? ?With seven hours of sleep a night, I feel a deep restfulness and wake up feeling rested and happy. I wake up feeling human again. The quality of sleep is so much deeper and I am more relaxed when I wake up. The ?brain fog? has gone away; I am a much more loving person and can extend love to others more than before.?
?????I sleep very soundly and feel fresh when I awake. My memory is much sharper and I focus on tasks at hand.?
???? ?I am getting so much better sleep than before and my energy level is so much better.?

If people were told that the negative repercussions in their life resulting from poor sleep might significantly subside or disappear, what would they say? Thousands of skeptics have been freed from their enslaving sleep patterns and are enjoying the life that they have built for themselves.

Berger, "Fatigue in the U.S. Workforce: Prevalence and Implications for Lost Productive Work Time," Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine 49 (1) (2007): 1?10.
