The End of Ghrelin! Those of us that are formerly obese or still fighting obesity know we got ourselves in that mess because we just couldn't keep our mouths shut.To soften that approach, wouldn't it be great if our bodies told us we were hungry when we truly need to eat? Well in reality that's not how it works, our hunger pangs really have little to do with our need to eat. Severely obese people suffer from an appetite that cannot be controlled, hunger never leaves them. Many people battle their hunger and weight 02/09/2019

Protein and Weight Loss Protein is extremely important in the weight loss battle. I notice that if I don't make an effort to get to my 60 grams of protein each day I'll see a couple new pounds on the scale which disappears when I get back on track with my protein. Proteins promote muscle building, that's important because muscles burn more calories than fat. High protein intake can help increase your overall metabolism. Proteins are found in many foods, vegetarians and vegans also have many protein rich options in 02/06/2019

Bleeding Gums is the Least of the Problem Gum disease goes far deeper that bleeding gums - REALLY! Bleeding gums are not the sign of healthy gums, they're the sign of a problem that will only get worse if ignored and left untreated. From strictly a dental point of your worsening gum disease will cause increasing pain, and an eventual loss of teeth and bone, and an infection that produces a nasty taste and fowl bad breath.

Knee Pain is Agony We recently had the opportunity to view a live surgical event which was a knee replacement surgery. It was fascinating to watch but I couldn't help being thankful that I don't have knee problems and sure hope it stays that way. We viewed the procedure in a viewing area streamed live, following the completion the surgeon spoke to the group and took questions. I asked the doctor what role obesity plays in knee damage.

Does Menopause Cause Weight Gain? I'm not sure the question "does menopause cause weight gain?" is a completely fair question. Perhaps a better query on the discussion of weight gain and menopause would be "Is the deck stacked against us in menopause?". Many years ago while in my 30's I asked my gynecologist if I would gain weight during menopause, he instantly and abruptly said "if you eat too much and don't exercise you'll gain weight" and while that statement is true it didn't address women's struggles with their weight in 01/16/2019

Poor Dental Health can be Life Threatening We usually think of our teeth either for the way they look and for their ability to chew food, in reality our dental health plays a much larger role. Being embarrassed and self conscious about the way our teeth look brings about poor self esteem and even depression. Being unable to chew our food restricts our food choices and often means we many not be getting a balanced diet, our food fuels our body - without the right food our bodies can't do their job.
