A study presented at a recent American Heart Association Conference (www.americanheart.org) has found that candy in wrappers might help indulgers eat less as opposed to eating unwrapped candies.  Researchers found that people who ate candies and kept the wrappers in plain sight ate only about half as many as those who did not.

Lead author Brian Wansink (author of Mindless Eating, www.mindlesseating.org) says, “Having a visual reminder of how much [you eat], keeps you honest and eating less.  Your stomach can’t count, but your eyes can when they see the empty wrappers.”

It also helps to keep the candy in a less convenient location as opposed to a more convenient location, Wansink says.  So for instance, in the office, you wouldn’t want to keep the candy on your desk where it’s easy to get to.  Move it at least 5 or 10 feet away so that you have to get up and walk for your treats.

Not sleeping well can lead to problems, especially for older adults, research has found.  Depression, attention and memory problems, excessive daytime sleepiness and nighttime falls can all occur as a result of poor nighttime sleeping.  According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, some of the more common sleep disorders in older adults include:

• Insomnia, which affects almost half of adults 60 and older.
• Obstructive sleep apnea, which can elevate the risk for high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and cognitive problems.  Snoring, a symptom of OSA, is a very common condition affecting nearly 40 percent of adults, and is more common in older people.
• Restless legs syndrome, which can cause people to jerk and kick their legs every 20 to 40 seconds during sleep, is evident in almost 40 percent of older adults.

• Establish a routine sleep schedule.
• Avoid using the bed for anything other than sleep and intimacy.
• Avoid substances that disturb your sleep, like alcohol or caffeine.
• Avoid daytime naps.  If you must take a nap, limit the time to less than one hour and no later than 3 p.m.
• Stick to rituals that help you relax each night before going to bed.  This can include things like a warm bath, a light snack or a few minutes of reading.
• Don’t take your worries to bed.  Bedtime is a time to relax, not to hash out the stresses of the day.
• If you can’t fall asleep, leave your bedroom and engage in a quiet activity.  Return to bed only when you are tired.
• Keep your bedroom dark, quiet and a little on the cool side.

Losing some healthy pounds can really change the way our body looks. But to lose those healthy pounds, we have to make continuous efforts and follow a healthy diet with exercise for some months at least. Although I have so far shared lots of weight loss tips with you on my fast weight loss blog, but today post is going to share some proven weight loss tips that an average person can implement in his/her daily life and make a big difference in his/her body look. So here is the list of weight loss tips to follow to lose some healthy pounds:

• Studies show that drinking high amount of water promotes weight loss. One should aim at drinking 8 – 10 glasses of pour water per day. You know 70 percent of our body weight is made of water only. And water plays a big role in the functionality of everything in our body together with metabolism and muscles.


• Some people have the idea that skip breakfast will help to lose weight. This idea is totally wrong. Never skip your breakfast. If you skip breakfast, you end up eating lots of unhealthy stuff during the day.


• Take small and frequent meals during the day. Make it a habit to eat five to six small meals in a day. This way you will be eating some healthy food after a gap of 2-3 hours. But keep your calories consumption within limits. Your calorie intake should not exceed the amount of calorie you burn.


• Do not forget to include high amount of proteins in your diet. Eating high amount of proteins will bring big changes in your body and it’s really easy to implement.


• You need to cut their sugar intake as a way to lose weight. If you go for sugar free versions of everything you drink, please check the amount of calories you will be able to save.


• Including high amount of fiber in your diet is a good idea. When you have included fiber in your diet, you don’t feel hungry for longer interval of time. It also helps in keeping our system clean and we feel better.


• If you are finding it hard to get time for running and exercising at home, best idea will be to join a gym you’re your house. And if you can afford to pay some money, you can think of hiring a personal trainer that can properly guide you about the ways to lose weight in a healthy way.

Manuel Uribe, Heaviest man in the world according to the book of "Guinness World records" had been able to drop his weight by 230 kg which is approximately the half of his original weight and he had got success in losing this amount of weight in less time than what the doctors had expected.

"I'm going to throw a big party," Manuel Uribe, who lives in Monterrey, northern Mexico, said.

"I'm getting out of my house and going for a walk," he said.

Manuel Uribe age 42 who was having 570 kg as his heaviest weight has been bedridden for the last five years where he has been taken care of by his mother and fiance. Many doctors from US, Italy and Mexico are giving dieting and exercising tips to Manuel for losing weight for two years.

Manuel said that his goal was to drop to a slim 120 kilograms in four more years.

On 9th of March, Mr Uribe will be lifted from out of his house on his bed with a crane and driven around on a flat-bed truck.

"I feel great," he said. "The doctors say I'm healthier than ever."

Husband see, husband do, and vice versa, a study has found.  Researchers say that if one spouse adopts a new health behavior, if one the other is likely to do the same.  So if one spouse exercises, quits smoking or drinking, or gets a flu shot, the other spouse is likely to follow suit.

Yale University researchers, who looked at data from more than 6,000 individuals and their spouses from the Health and Retirement Study, conducted the study.  The changes in health habits were most noticeable when it came to smoking and drinking, often spurred by outside cues, and patient-directed preventive behavior, such as a doctor’s referral to get a flu shot, researchers say.

Smokers were five times more likely to quit smoking if their spouse quit, when controlling for other relevant factors.  Drinkers were also five times more likely to quit drinking alcohol if their partner didn’t drink.  The good news is that the health of a family can be enhanced by the behavior of a spouse, but the opposite can also be true: A spouse can mirror destructive behaviors as well.  These facts should be considered in trying to help families reach optimal levels of health.
