Obesity Reduces Brain Network
For all we know, will continue as overweight or obesity, diabetes and heart disease. But the latest research at UCLA has one, that is, the preponderance also make quick damage brain tissue.
On the basis of examination of 94 people aged 70 and overweight. Those who are obese, 8 percent of them had degenerative faster than normal. “Sometimes when degenartif of brain scanners, like to say that his brain seemed 16 years, “said study chairman Paul Thompson is professor of nervous is UCLA.
Although the category of those who signed a fat, 4 per cent of them experienced a reduction in brain tissue. This is the same as the brain ages of 8 years. When the brain loses the network or degenerative brain Alzheimer’s disease may be the next remains a mystery.
The brain tissue, where they picked? Thomson said that the temporal lobe of which is to say, our heart to listen, to give the perception and memory. Then a portion of the cingulate gyrus is in the middle or care function that we can concentrate on one thing. A part of the brain, the hippocampus also reduces the network is a partnership that is central, and basal ganglia, which is a key regulator of the circulation.
The study, published in the journal Human Brain Mapping, also occur when the brain has a network of these pieces are in danger in other brain diseases tection. “In other words, the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart not only alone, but brain aging occurs even faster.” So no more excuses, not with a balanced diet, which is equipped with sports facilities more

Nutrition Important To Fight Fat
Francine R. Kaufman, MD, medical adviser of the Diabetes Prevention dietary fatty food collection DTour fighting nutrients. “Even when food is consumed at the same time, it works best to break the blood lipid and sugar to maintain.”
Kaufman is also Chief of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at the Hospital of Los Angeles to explain to destroy the places where the accumulation of fat, abdominal fat is the hardest. “Not to mention, AFL-abdominal fat is easier to make the issue of inflammatory cells, as the hormone that makes us resistant to insulin leading to rockets blood sugar.
And we have to eat to fight fat, “” is persistent in the stomach as follows:
Calcium
In addition to its ability to burn fat, several studies, including calcium can affect the endocrine system of the production of calcitriol, the beginning of an activation type of fat steroids, “said Barbara Quinn, RD, who is also the author of The DTOUR diabetes diet.
According to the University of Tennessee, overweight people, foods with foods rich in calcium, 70 per cent reduction in body weight and 64 percent body fat. Foods that are rich in calcium, low fat milk, broccoli and spinach.
Vitamin D
Tufts-New England Medical Center announced in vitamin D when the risk of type 2 diabetes increases defective. It is clear from their research that 46 percent of diabetics according to the level of vitamin D is not sufficiently known.
And vitamin D that works the body needs calcium. Foods rich in vitamin D include fish, salmon, mackerel, tuna, cereal and cheese.
Omega-3 –
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that women who consumed omega-3 in the diet, the experience of weight loss for cancellation up to 2 kg each. The fat that most strongly reduced in the middle.
Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy, work slows down digestion. This allows us to fill. Quinn also mentioned, omega-3-suppressing inflammation and optimize the work of the pancreas. Foods high in omega-3 is known, eggs, shrimp, salmon, tuna.
Fiber
Fiber is a nutrient that has left us satisfied, but also low in calories. Therefore, all those who want to have a proportional body, forced to eat lots of fiber. University of Minnesota, did not even mention the consumption of fiber can eliminate the body fat of 1.5 kg per month.
How it works, how hormones control appetite fibers. Thus, in the digestive tract, the gel fiber carbohydrates then appropriate to decrease the absorption of glucose, “Quinn said. The gel will be until the end of the digestive tract held. Do not be surprised if your blood sugar is difficult to eat fiber is always stable. Foods that are rich in dietary fiber from cereals, bread, brown rice, oats, fruits and vegetables.

Food Right To Stomach Flat
No need to “diet” like crazy if you just want a trim without abdominal fat. Smart enough to choose foods and enrich our knowledge about the various types of food, the ideal flat stomach is in hand.
Do not ever expect to consume only 3000 calories in a matter of weeks, we can have a flat stomach. Stomach agreement not just about calories per cent, but is also associated with the intake of what goes into our bodies.
Research from the Framingham Nutrition Studies explains that there are some foods that have the potential accumulation of fat in our belly. Women who reported eating 400 fewer calories each day, it was risky to have a protruding belly 2 ½ times higher. Combined with a high risk of suffering from many serious diseases, like diabetes and heart attacks. Why? Because they consume less nutritious foods. This is the intake to the stomach that we can eat and practice immediately.
1. Eating fruits and vegetables
To become thinner, the latest research from Copenhagen University Hospital advised us to leave the food in the white group (bread or white sugar) and replace it with carbohydrates derived dati fruits and vegetables. Fiber in fruits and vegetables make us feel full longer. To maintain caloric intake, multiply the new vegetable consumption of fruit afterwards. Try the fruit in the form of a whole and not in the form of juice.
2. Expand selenium
Mineral that works against cancer is also often associated with the ability to reduce excess fat in the abdominal area. People who have high levels of selenium and antioxidants that have a high waist circumference is smaller. Selenium can be found in many foods, such as button mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, shrimp, salmon, tuna, cod, and calf liver. But, it is difficult to know whether we have obtained in accordance with the recommended intake of selenium 55mcg/hari. The way to be sure, we can consume or supplements have a lot of variety in our diet.
3. Add the amount of protein
Eating more protein can make us more fully and berenergi.Dan can be a major contribution in the success of our weight-loss. However, excessive protein can worsen kidney work. Therefore, we set the menu for 25% of calories come from proteins, such as low-fat yogurt, non fat dairy, fish and chicken meat. Because of the high calories in nuts, limiting the intake of protein, also from nuts, enough with the 25 grams a week.
4. Drinking a glass of wine every day
Several studies have stated the wine drinking habits can help you keep your weight increases, especially in the stomach. If you are allowed, drink red or white wine a few days. A maximum of 20 times a month, due to excess consumption will make the stomach larger.
5. Choose the right fats
Consuming monounsaturated fats and omega-3 are both found in olive oil, fish oil and flaxseed (linseed), can keep us slim. Avoid fats, trans fats found in many calorie dense foods. According to research from Wake Forest University, Kylie Kavanagh, DVM, eating trans fats can make us fat, 4.5 kg more than those who only ate monounsaturated fats. Why, 30% of trans fat will be lodged in the stomach and increase the risk of diabetes.
The miracle pill, reduce body fat in half in a week
This is called, “The miracle pill”, supposedly a new wonder medicine in which scientists are working and have the ability to reduce excess fat stored on people, almost half in a week, resulting in an advance against obesity.
Tests were conducted in laboratory animals and have shown that the medicine could reduce body weight by a quarter and its fat content to 42 percent after seven days.
After a month, the weight of mice was reduced by 28 percent of their fat mass and 63 percent overall, however, experts warned it could take several years for potential medicine use is reached in patients.
But they say the findings suggest a new approach to treating obesity and diabetes in adults because the medcine is an artificial hormone that regulates glucose metabolism.
Previous studies have found that this substance may suppress appetite or lead to weight loss by increasing the use of calories by the body.
Richard DiMarchi and colleagues at Indiana University in the U.S. created the synthetic hormone and conducted the testing, said, Obesity and its consequences, including diabetes in adults, today represent a major economic and health treatment of modern societies.
He added that the administration of glucagons reduces acute food intake in animals and humans, thereby promoting weight loss.
He concluded: “I have high hopes for the discovery of safe and effective therapies for obesity,” and Professor O’Rahilly said patients treated with the drug may have to take one pill per day or by injection.

Why Apple Should The body diet?
In our bodies, there are two types of fat. First, the fat on the skin and more often we call cellulite. Fats in the waist line, hips and thighs and then make our body called the owner of pear, also falls into the category of fat under the skin.
The second is fat which accumulates in the abdomen and other internal organs. Pressed fats in the muscle layers and then make our bodies round the middle like an apple.
Actually both these fats we need for energy resources and protect the organs in our body. The problem arises when the two fats that accumulate in excess. Fats especially around the abdomen. Why?
• Given the position of the fat in internal organs, it could pose a risk to organs like the pancreas responsible for producing insulin and regulate blood sugar regulation. From this comes the risk of diabetes.
• Not only the pancreas, liver we also become more quickly produce aka bad cholesterol LDL. This cholesterol can be a plaque to the blood vessels to the risk of heart attack and stroke.
• The number of fat makes the brain produce more hormone neuropeptide Y (NPY) that make our appetite appears more often.
So there is no reason to keep the apple shape. To discard the fat on the body parts, especially the stomach we need to commit to apply the consumption of healthy foods. This commitment must also be equipped with a regular exercise schedule. Many studies have revealed, when the whole abdominal fat is a risk of excess insulin production, high LDL, and NPY decreases.
Not only that, we will receive a bonus from the success of abdominal fat. The flexibility of our bodies better and we will always have a more stable emotional because the quality of our sleep better. So from now bernazarlah to “break up” with a fat belly.

Weight Loss Newborn
Please note, within 1-2 weeks after birth, little weight is generally shrinking. Why? Because the baby’s body contains enough water as a “by-by” which he brought from the womb. Well, in a 1-2 week period, the liquid gradually out through the urine. Automatic weight babies so down. Of course not drastic. Yes … about 10% of BB when first weighed at birth. So weight loss 1-2 weeks after birth is a natural thing.
In the following weeks, little weight is relatively increased. Increase per month to around 350-600 grams, or even to reach 1-1.5 kg depending on the plant flowers each baby is unique.
NORMAL INCREASE
Once again, weight gain is not black and white issue. That is, if your baby weight and then she was considered mild sickly or when the baby looks fat she summed directly as a healthy baby. BB increase in general can be categorized in the following calculation:
* First Quarter : 500-600 grams per month
* The second quarter : 350-450 grams per month
* Third Quarter : 150-250 grams per month
* Fourth Quarter : 600 – 1200 grams per month
Of that number appeared generally in the first 3 months after birth increased the greatest weight. At the age of 3-6 months, the addition of even high enough to reach 2-fold than when the age of 0-3 months. Well, at the age of 6-9 months of additional weight begins to slow. Likewise, when your baby 9-12 months old, not too flashy penambahannya.
If you want to count, count again, the average weight of babies when 6 months to two times birth weight. Meanwhile, at the age of one year to 3 times birth weight. For example, if the birth weight 4 kg, at the age of 6 months has reached 8 kg. At the age of one year was 12 kg. It’s not set in stone but merely a calculating for parents to estimate the weight of your baby. Stay with notes, calculations are only estimates, aka no fixed prices. So babies born weighing 4 pounds is not necessarily at the age of 1 year reached 12 kg. Could be weighed only 10 kg.
Well, after one year of age, weight gain usually begins to slow again. That does not mean a decline. Continues to increase, only slowly. Obviously, parents do not have to be surprised or worried if your child finds the weight up and down. That means normal. After all, from various studies of a number of normal infants of different races also showed a decrease in body weight in 0-12 months age range.
Receptions GROWTH
Well, if found little BB down, not just be a nuisance. It could be kept indicating the normal progress of growth. On the other hand, genetic factors also determine the baby’s growth. This means that weight can also be seen how the history of BB family.
Because of that, to ascertain whether it was within the normal category, lack of or excessive, parents can check or compare the Lubchenko curve contained in a book developed to monitor the baby grows, or KMS (Toward Health Card) from the health center or hospital. Well, based on these curves, the parameters to find out your baby’s growth is not only seen from the increase BB, but also height and head circumference size.
Can be known whether the weight of your baby is still hand in hand with the increase curve height and size of a normal head circumference. So parents are encouraged to constantly monitor your child BB regularly every month through its control to the doctor or nearest health center.
IF has fallen dramatically
Parents are sometimes considered if the BB down means babies are malnourished. As a result, little was forced to eat more, or give him vitamins so fat fast. In fact, the decline BB should not signify the growth of small problems. As long as still within the normal range on growth charts earlier.
Only if the growth curve was decreased dramatically, parents need to be alert. Especially when there are symptoms of appetite dropped, often cranky, and wants feeding decreased. Or if in two consecutive months there is no addition of BB. If this happens to consult whether the child might be suffering from the disease. To be sure, if the additional weight does not match with the chart, then it might be little impaired growth.
Disturbance of growth can occur in the short term and long term. In the short term, weight reduction can be caused due to the decline of the small appetite, less intake of food or illness. Meanwhile, the decline in long-term BB disebakan abnormalities usually fail to grow. The definition of failure to thrive is the inability of infants to achieve BB or TB as a normal growth path. When that happens, then there may be a particular disease or disorder in the child. Or for example, good appetite, but the weight never increases. It is necessary to consult in case your child was experiencing metabolic diseases like diabetes.
Indeed, factors can lead to disease weight babies stunted growth. For instance, because congenital heart disease. The heart has a role that carries blood nutrients. If the heart leak, the body will be starved of oxygen that cause growth disorders due to blood mixed with clean and dirty. In fact, congenital heart disease also affects the suction power so that the intake of infant nutrition or eating less, too.
Disturbance of growth can also be caused diarrhea due to food is not absorbed by the body. In fact, a disease that causes coughing shortness of breath was caused not strong suction power so that the income to eat less. In the end affect the body’s metabolic processes. As a result, little weight was lost.
Digestive problems can also cause growth disturbances. Absorption of food due to disruption of digestive enzymes or bowel movements are not good, or there is damage to the intestinal tuft. Food is not absorbed properly, it will quickly go out again. Or for example, because there are no digestive enzymes of carbohydrate, the carbohydrate substances from the food consumed can not be absorbed by the body.
THE IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION
Brief already mentioned that the role of nutrition is very important for child growth. In other words, the balance of intake and nutritional needs affecting the little BB is growing normally or not or even continue to shrink instead. Especially for babies first 6 months, the best food and milk main. In fact, the study also noted a big role in breast milk increase weight infants. In the first two months, the increase BB so much faster. Then, from the ages of 6 months, also provide fiber foods that stimulate the growth of the intestine become more optimal and digest better.

Monitoring the Infant Size
Understand the physical size of the standard baby. This is important for early detection of health problems.
There are many ways to monitor your baby’s health. But the easiest and clearest is to measure the physical condition. For that, you need to know the ideal size – so you can expect little kesehataan status. This all can be done through anthropometric measurements (related to the body), such as body weight, body length (height), and head circumference. Well, the Ministry of Health has set the standard or ideal number of nutrition status of infants by weight and wide body, and head circumference size. Of course, age and sex of the baby must also be determined. This standard is a formal decision to guide the doctor in Indonesia to monitor the baby’s health. You also should be “educated” these standards.
Weight Loss by Age (BB / U)
When your weight is not in accordance with age, or no weight gain in a certain period (1-3 months), could be indicative of health problems.
Head Circumference
Many studies have shown, there is a correlation between the size of the baby’s head and brain that are stored in it. That is why, also head circumference measurements should be done regularly and periodically. Moreover, through this measure, roughly the doctor can see the picture later intelligence.
Unfortunately, until now, there is no standard measure of the circumference of the head. However, in several books on child health or Card Towards Healthy (KMS) can be found curves that describe the development of the child’s head circumference size. For example, babies born will have a month head circumference measures approximately 35 cm.
If you are not sure of the status of child nutrition, do not hesitate to consult with your doctor. To remember, all the anthropometric measurements have normal range. So your baby may look thinner than your friend’s baby the same age, weight and sex. This does not mean your child is not normal, because it could be your baby’s body length on average. What is important, as long as your baby is always active, happy, and the characteristics of the growth of normal, do not be too concerned with her figure!

Increased fiber intake against abdominal fat
Eat more fiber can have a major impact in reducing the waist of the young United States, new research shows.
Adolescents who increased their consumption of fiber in their diets over a period of two years had a significant decrease in the amount of fat around their waists, while young people who reduced their consumption to increase, said Dr. Jaimie N. Davis, of the Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California in Los Angeles and colleagues.
Davis and his team were investigating the belly fat, which is the most dangerous type of body fat, since the higher accumulation of it in the waist, the greater the risk the possibility of diabetes and heart disease.
The investigators evaluated 85 overweight children and girls 11 to 17, who had to fill out a questionnaire about their eating habits and then report on their diet two years later, at this stage of life, the diets of some young people tend worse, Davis said.
The fiber intake was reduced by 3 grams per 1,000 calories consumed on average 46 of the study participants, while it increased by the same average amount in 35 others.
Abdominal fat increased by 21 percent of study participants were eating less fiber, but young people who increased their fiber intake had a 4 percent reduction in belly fat.
Fiber intake is recommended for young people, is 14 grams per 1,000 calories consumed, or about 25 to 30 grams per day.
The study findings appear in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
