Cold Temperatures And Chili Peppers Boost Fat-burning Weight Loss, Reveals Study
Clifford Rosen, a professor of medicine at Tufts University who wasn’t involved in the study. He noted that the research is unique in providing a way to induce brown fat activity in people who seemed to have very few or no brown fat cells. To conduct the study, researchers exposed eight people with little or no brown fat cells to two-hour daily sessions in cold rooms (63 degrees Fahrenheit). After six weeks, those people had a five percent reduction in overall body fat and burned more calories.

Cancer treatment shows promise for rapid weight loss
While the liver uses PPARalpha to burn belly fat, the hippocampus uses PPARalpha to process memory. And that’s a problem for people with excess belly fat. In such individuals, the liver works frantically to metabolize the fat, thereby using up all of the essential PPARalpha. After consuming that protein located near the liver, the liver seeks sources in the rest of the body, including the brain, explained the scientists. For obese individuals, the new study shows the danger to their ability to learn and remember, potentially leading to dementia and memory loss as they age, warned the researchers at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. The study places emphasis on the risk of abdominal fat because it is linked to literally starving the hippocampus of PPARalpha.

Arap and Pasqualini own stock in the company and founded the subsidiary, Ablaris Therapeutics Inc., that aims to bring the weight-loss agent to a potentially gigantic market. Adipotide was designed to attach itself just to the blood vessels that feed the body’s fat deposits. Then it attacks them, causing them to wither and die. Apparently robbed of much of their blood supply, fat deposits respond by shedding fat cells.

Latinos Struggle To Find Help For Mental Health Issues
But if you have a chemical imbalance, prayer won’t help you.” Even though the teasing in high school was bad, one of his worst memories is translating for his parents at the psychiatric ward because they only knew Spanish. “I wish the hospital had translators or even someone who understood us culturally,” Acosta said. Eventually, Acosta overcame his mental illness, got into college, majored in psychology and became a social worker. He’s since made it his mission to change Latinos’ apprehensive perspective on mental health issues and better the health care system in hopes others won’t have to go through what he did.

The shutdown, the debt and health care: a primer
Obamacare launch: What does it mean for you? In addition to expanding access to insurance coverage, another goal of the law was to lower the nation’s overall health care costs. Each year Americans spend more than $2 trillion on health care, with about a third of that going to unnecessary hospitalizations and tests that are not backed up by the latest scientific evidence. For the latest edition of Morning Rounds , CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook sat down with Sherry Glied, dean of the NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, to find out just how much costs are expected to be curbed under the law. She points out provisions in the law that aim to cut costs. For example, it requires insurance companies to keep administrative costs below a certain threshold , or pay customers the difference.

Federal health agencies probing Salmonella outbreak
A: Republicans were happy because it was a mess and they could barely hold back from saying, I told you so. Millions went unserved because of website hang-ups. Rep. Trey Radel of Florida said a 14-year-old could build a better website “in an afternoon in his basement.” This, they suggested, is what government health care looks like. See?

Excessive Weight Gain In Pregnancy Linked To Childhood Obesity
Using a within-family design (testing associations within each family), the researchers found that for every kilogram of weight a mother gained during pregnancy, their child’s BMI would increase by 0.02 kg/m2 (8%) by age 12. Because childhood body weight predicts adult body weight, the study authors say their findings suggest that over-nutrition in pregnancy may program the fetus for an increased lifetime risk for obesity, although the magnitude of this effect may be small. Healthy weight gain in pregnancy Healthy weight gain in pregnancy is determined by how many babies you’re carrying and your weight (specifically your BMI) when you become pregnant. The Mayo Clinic gives some good guidelines for pregnancy weight gain for carrying one child: Underweight at pregnancy (BMI less than 18.5) – 28 to 40 pounds Normal weight (BMI 18.5 to 24.9) – 25-35 pounds Overweight (BMI 25-29.9) – 15-25 pounds Obese (BMI of 30 or more) – 11-20 pounds Overweight women are not receiving proper advice on healthy weight gains or appropriate exercise levels during their pregnancies, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers , which could lead to unnecessary weight gain before birth.

Pregnancy Got You Down? No Problem, Outsource Your Babymaking To India
(Couples requesting Dr. Patels services pay around $28,000 for a pregnancy that results in a healthy birth). Dr. Patel chafes at suggestions that what she is overseeing is a baby factory. But of course thats what shes doing. And its perfectly fine, a big win for everyone involved. Though few would find it morally problematic or exploitative to hire a redcap to carry their baggage, Patel can expect to be besieged by scolds who will never quite be able to put their finger on why what she is doing is wrong. Perhaps, as is so often the case, government will find an excuse to destroy a new and innovative marketplace that brings together willing buyers and sellers.

Overeating During Pregnancy Predicts a Lifetime of Obesity for Children
Learn More About Nutritional Needs During Pregnancy Feed the Mother, Feed the Child The study results confirmed what Ludwig had already seen in animal studies: a mothers overnutrition during pregnancy made her children more likely to be overweight or obese as middle-schoolers, independent of genetics and diet. This distinction is important, explained Ludwig, director of the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Boston Children’s Hospital, in an interview with Healthline. If maternal overnutrition has an independent effect on childhood body weight, the implications would be major: obesity could accelerate through successive generations, unless this vicious cycle is interrupted. When an expectant mother overeats, her bloodstream becomes saturated with surplus calories, which reach her child along with all the nutrients the child needs. Although the exact mechanism is still unknown, nine months of exposure to an overly-rich diet programs the child’s body to retain calories as an adult, making him or her more likely to be overweight. Get the Facts: When Is Obesity Genetic?

Multi-sectoral Approaches To Nutrition
Let’s Retire These Damaging Mainstream Nutrition Beliefs, Please

Similarly, the disturbing fact that it is now “the norm” to nuke dinner in the microwave or get takeout a few times a week does not mean we as health professionals should encourage that as long as portions are small. It has become the norm for Americans to have credit-card debt, but you’d be hard pressed to find a financial advisor who will say, “Eh, $4,000 in credit-card debt is no biggie. Most people have $20,000!” Our public health situation is so fragile that bland toothless nutrition messaging will not do the trick. The American public deserves helpful and accurate information that can help guide them to health. Let’s be part of a much-needed paradigm shift rather than fall back on outdated and reheated advice that serves little purpose.

Mead Johnson Nutrition Rating Reiterated by Credit Suisse (MJN)
While the company is still struggling to get its arms around the volatility in the Chinese market, we continue to believe that there is some upside to consensus estimates owing to share gains from the temporary recall of competitors Danone and Abbott. This gift along with the easy comparisons to last years missteps will give the stock some cover over the next two quarters while the Chinese market stabilizes. Several other analysts have also recently commented on the stock. Analysts at JPMorgan Chase & Co. upgraded shares of Mead Johnson Nutrition (NYSE:MJN) from a neutral rating to an overweight rating in a research note to investors on Tuesday, September 17th. They now have a $88.00 price target on the stock, up previously from $78.00.
