Obesity is at epidemic proportions in this country and around the world. It is estimated that it is responsible for 300K deaths per year in the United States alone. It also can cause other serious conditions such as heart disease, stroke and osteoarthritis. In order to loose weight and keep it off you need to make a commitment of eating a healthy diet, exercising on a regular basis and supplementation. Hoodia has sparked a lot of interest in recent years for its ability to act as an appetite suppressant. Hoodia is a natural supplement that can aid us in our goal to shed those unwanted pounds.

Sometimes when you're desperate to lose those extra 10 or 12 pounds for a special reason, you're tempted to look around for what seems like the quickest weight loss method that sounds like it may work. This is the main reason why the 3 day tuna diet is so popular, if you already enjoy eating tuna, then it can't be so bad to eat a little more of it in order to drop those stubborn pounds, right?
For those of you who don't like or can't eat tuna, you may be wondering: is there a substitute for tuna in the 3 day diet? Well, you are allowed to have a very small amount of chicken, peanut butter and vegetables, if that counts.

Most of us have a tendency to put on weight in one particular place. Whether we have fat thighs, flabby arms or a potbelly, it's important to tackle these problem areas - not just to look better but, more importantly, to avoid the health risks associated with them.
Ankles
Chunky ankles are often the result of water retention before your period. Check by pressing your thumb against your ankle - if the skin springs back when you remove your thumb, it's fat; if you can see a dent, it's fluid. Persistently swollen ankles can be a sign of heart disease, liver problems, kidney failure or thrombosis.

We have all been wondering where is the magic bullet - the one pill that does it all? If only we could take one tiny inexpensive supplement that not only improved health but also fought disease.

Well, a tremendous amount of research points to vitamin D quite possibly being a vital key to health for many of us. Vitamin D plays an extremely important role in the maintenance of all (yes all) of our organ systems!

We all have been on the low carbohydrate wagon at one point in our quest in the battle of the bulge but does a “controlled” carbohydrate diet work to shed excess body fat? The answer to this in many research studies is yes it does work and is an effective way to also control cravings. The real answer though is does it for you the individual? Some people do not do very well with a controlled carbohydrate diet and thus it is important for these individuals to do what works best for them.
We really do not know about all the factors that cause food cravings. More research is needed to help us understand more about our appetites and satiety. Many researchers state that a decrease in blood sugar stimulates hunger. This may explain cravings for high carbohydrate foods, which are a quick energy source.

Squats can become a test of strength and endurance, proving to be a lot of hard work especially for beginners. That’s why we have squat machines. They are used to help us in doing squat exercises to tone and develop our leg muscles. Usually, they consist of back rests, handles, and foot rests that are in different positions depending on the type of squat they are designed for. Most of them are made of steel tubing with padded seats and they are not just for strength trainers and weightlifters, because they can also be used with any kind of exercise program.
Different squat machines
Choose your ideal squat machine depending on your exercise needs, levels of strength, and the space you have in your home or gym.
