Health issues related to weight loss http://weightlosstips.tv/weight-loss-tips/health-issues/ en-us If you want your body to become an efficient fat-burning machine you need to get adequate sleep every night of the week. You must give your body time to rest itself both physically and mentally. If you are feeling tired it's your body's way of saying go to bed! Feeling tired also limits your performance during exercising which is really limiting your fat-burning potential. http://weightlosstips.tv/fromfeed/tip/health-issues/Get-a-good-night-sleep.html http://weightlosstips.tv/fromfeed/tip/health-issues/Get-a-good-night-sleep.html Adam Mon, 19 Nov 2007 02:03:17 +0900 Take measurements from your thighs, arms, hips, waist, and other areas you want to improve. These measurements can be more telling than your weight which can fluctuate. http://weightlosstips.tv/fromfeed/tip/health-issues/It-s-not-all-about-the-scales.html http://weightlosstips.tv/fromfeed/tip/health-issues/It-s-not-all-about-the-scales.html Todd H Tue, 11 Sep 2007 09:44:56 +0800 Do not eat Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel, or Tilefish because they contain high levels of mercury. Nearly all fish and shellfish contain traces of methylmercury. However, larger fish that have lived longer have the highest levels of methylmercury because they've had more time to accumulate it. http://weightlosstips.tv/fromfeed/tip/health-issues/Beware-of-mercury-content-of-fish-like-Shark-and-Swordfish.html http://weightlosstips.tv/fromfeed/tip/health-issues/Beware-of-mercury-content-of-fish-like-Shark-and-Swordfish.html Todd H Tue, 11 Sep 2007 09:29:10 +0800 Drink lots of water throughout the day.

A healthy weight is measured by your body mass index (BMI). A BMI of 25 or more is considered overweight. A BMI of 30 or more is obese. If your BMI is over 25, you are at higher risk. In addition to how much you weigh, where your extra fat is stored can also affect your health. Having an "apple shaped" body (extra fat around your middle) rather than "pear shaped" body (extra fat around your hips) raises risk for heart disease. http://weightlosstips.tv/fromfeed/tip/health-issues/Obesity-and-fat.html http://weightlosstips.tv/fromfeed/tip/health-issues/Obesity-and-fat.html The Doc Sat, 24 Mar 2007 09:51:55 +0900 High blood pressure and type 2 diabetes often go hand-in-hand. High blood pressure, or hypertension, increases your chances for heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. At least 40% percent of people with diabetes have high blood pressure, which often leads to stroke. High blood pressure may make stroke more likely in people with diabetes. http://weightlosstips.tv/fromfeed/tip/health-issues/High-Blood-Pressure-and-Diabetes.html http://weightlosstips.tv/fromfeed/tip/health-issues/High-Blood-Pressure-and-Diabetes.html Doctor Sat, 24 Mar 2007 09:51:32 +0900 Your body stores fat for future use for energy. Some of these fats, or lipids, are stored in your blood. Some are good for the body, like HDL cholesterol, which helps protect your heart. In general the higher your HDL, and the lower your LDL, the better. Triglycerides are another kind of blood fat that raises your chances for a heart attach or stroke if your levels are too high. http://weightlosstips.tv/fromfeed/tip/health-issues/Blood-fats.html http://weightlosstips.tv/fromfeed/tip/health-issues/Blood-fats.html Christopher Sat, 24 Mar 2007 09:50:46 +0900 Please consult your doctor before beginning an exercise or weight loss program. http://weightlosstips.tv/fromfeed/tip/health-issues/see-your-doctor-first.html http://weightlosstips.tv/fromfeed/tip/health-issues/see-your-doctor-first.html Jonathon Tue, 19 Sep 2006 11:09:16 +0800
