By Alex Rich No one knows the exact causes of breast cancer. Doctors are careful when discussing reasons why one woman would experience breast cancer while another, in the same family or circle of friends would be cancer free. American Cancer Society researchers have documented there is a growing connection between breast cancer and obesity - especially abdominal and upper-body obesity. For example, almost half of all breast cancer cases occur in obese women. Also, cancerous breast tumors are notoriously hard to find in young women with more than 15-20 percent excess body fat. Exactly how severe overweight leads to breast cancers is not yet known. The link between body mass index and breast cancer is mostly statistical. “We can see it, but we don’t understand exactly why it exists.” The potential health risks for women who are overweight or obese are not limited to breast cancer. Heart disease is a killer of more women than any other single malady. Take a look at a report from the American Heart Association: “Obesity is now recognized as a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, which can lead to heart attack. Some reasons for this higher risk are known, but others are not. For example, obesity; Raises blood cholesterol and triglyceride (tri-GLIS’er-id) levels. lowers HDL “good” cholesterol. HDL cholesterol is linked with lower heart disease and stroke risk, so reducing it tends to raise the risk. Raises blood pressure levels. Can induce diabetes. In some people, diabetes makes these other risk factors much worse. The danger of heart attack is especially high for these people. Even when there are no adverse effects on the known risk factors, obesity by itself increases risk of heart disease. It also harms more than just the heart and blood vessel system. It’s a major cause of gallstones and can worsen degenerative joint disease.” Lets get right to the heart of the matter. There are few who would doubt that being overweight is less than advantageous for a number of reasons, including the serious potential health risks. What complicates the issue is most individuals have little success with diets and other attempts at losing weight. When the question of long term weight loss success is asked there are less than 5% of all dieters who can report they have been successful at keeping weight off. What is not wide spread knowledge is there are so-called secrets of dieting that many in the mainstream have not tapped into. Take it from me, Ive been counseling men and women in weight loss techniques since 1980 and Ive had my share of losers in the finest sense of the word. Losing weight for most people is a conscious process from start to finish. What I mean by this is most people think of what they are going to do to lose weight and plan their approach in a focused manner that differs little each time they start a diet. The mind actually has two chambers that process information and provide for other functions. The problem for most dieters is they are placing too much of the focus for their success on the conscious mind. It is the subconscious mind that must handle the major part of the change process. To balance this process to help increase my client’s rate of success, I prepared a simple list of success tips. Using subconscious processes is much simpler when one has a coach. However, my clients have experienced great results with a tip sheet I provide. I give this list of 5 simple tips to newbies who are trying self-hypnosis or hypnosis for the first time. While no hypnosis is involved, my success rate has averaged 85% for those who follow the deceivingly simple looking tips for weight loss beginners. Take a look at the list and spend 10 to 15 minutes for the next 5 days just reading my 5 most important tips over and over to yourself. You will be amazed at what youll notice in the next 7 to 10 days. Decide on how much weight you want to lose over the next 30 days and write it down on a 3X5 card. Once youve written it down promise yourself to look at the number 3 times a day for the next 30 days (in the morning, at noon, and at bedtime work best). While you’re looking at the number you’ve written on your card, visualize yourself in your perfect size, shape, clothes you like, and the activity you would most like to enjoy as the New You! At first this might not be easy to do, however, your visuals will become clearer and more detailed each time you practice. Just Do It! Eliminate Guilt! If you’ve ever tried to lose weight you have most likely failed. Poor will power, a bad diet, working hours that only allow for eating fast food, or any of a million reasons could explain the failure. Nothing is accomplished by feeling guilty or mentally beating yourself up. Let it go. Be kind to yourself and start over. You’ll feel better and your next attempt will improve. Commit to giving up on guilt, not yourself. Unless your doctor has directed you to do so, stop weighing yourself every day or every week. Step on the scales when you start your weight loss program, write down your weight and put the scales into the closet. Don’t pull them out again for at least 30 days. Drink 3 to 4 glasses of water every day and load up on vegetable snacks. Have fun and enjoy yourself to the Max! Life is too long to mope around worrying and fretting about how it could have been. Enjoy yourself to the fullest exactly as you are right now. Being OK with yourself now, at this moment in time, is a very important idea for you to understand. Work on it daily.

By Jay Turner For those of you who have been racing your RC cars for years,and have a friend or two who you have been trying to get out to theRC tracks, this article is for you. Feel free to forward it tothem. For those of you who are fanatical bashers, and have avoided racingyour rc cars at the local track, hear me out, because I have 5 greatreasons you should take a run at it. 1) Hanging out with other RC car enthusiasts- You will absorb newideas on how to keep your RC cars running at peak performance, justby hangin’ out in the pits. Not all of them will be good, somecould even do more harm than good. but if you are careful who youlisten to, you can learn some terrific stuff that will make yourride handle better, run faster, and be more durable. 2) The game within the game- Its not just about racing, and beingfirst in the heats (altho, that is a huge thrill) but its alsoabout pushing the limits of your RC cars, and fighting agianst thetrack itself in a measureable way. When your bashing, you don’treally get a precise way of knowing how fast your vehicle is. Whenyou race, you will actually know to the millisecond what yourvehicle, limited by your driving skills, can do. 3) By being at the tracks, you get to see the latest RC technologyin action- You can go to the hobby stores and look at boxes of RCcars and buggies all you want. But if you really want to see whata Hot Bodies Lightning Pro or an XRAY T1′FK05 can do, there is nobetter, and cheaper, way to do it than hang out at the tracks. Youget an even better idea when you race against them. 4) Making new friends- Not that you need new friends, but it’s greatto have a friend who knows RC cars tips and tricks. Someone you canask questions, or bounce ideas off of. Or catch rides to the trackwhen your full scale car is in the shop. 5) Just like when your bashing and you finally nail that jump youset up in your backyard, mastering a track is a total rush-Everyone will tell you when you first start racing rc cars, justtry to do crash free laps. Isn’t that essentially what you aredoing in your backyard? Why not take your Monster truck to the track, and do some racing,and see if you can handle the track’s jumps and rhythm sections?I bet it will be months before you have a crash free lap. Howsethat for a challenge? If you have put off racing rc cars because it looks intimidating,your worried you will make a fool of yourself, or smash up your caror buggy, or piss off someone by smashing THIER car up… well,your right!! All of that can happen! In fact, when I first started racing my RC cars, I made everyracing mistake there is. I embarassed myself, I smashed my poorlittle car up, I was totally confused. Frankly, I didn’t have muchfun. But, I fought through it, learned from my mistakes, got some greatadvice, and now I enjoy every weekend at the track. I stronglysuggest you give racing a chance. I think it’s the best way toenjoy your RC cars hobby. J.P.

By Kimberly Floyd Are you making losing weight harder than it has to be? One of the most important keys to weight loss success is ensuring that you are not standing in your own way. When you eliminate self-sabotaging behaviors, you are free to focus on external challenges and temptations rather than wasting time on self-created issues. In this article, we will discuss three of the most common physical ways you can sabotage yourself. Booby trapping your cabinets One of the most common reasons for diet failures is bringing unhealthy foods into the house. You may bring a package of cookies home and say its for the kids, but admit it: Some of those cookies will probably end up in your mouth. Its best to leave the cookies on the store shelf and not lead yourself into temptation. Instead, make sure that you are setting yourself up to win in the nutrition arena. Be sure that you have plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and low-fat dairy products in your home. That way, you will reach for food that will satisfy you inside and out when you are hungry rather than go for the foods that just satisfy your tongue. Creating bottomless food pits A bottomless food pit is an environment in which a large quantity of unhealthy food is made available to you in one sitting. Examples are buffets, whole pizzas, tubs of buttered popcorn, boxes of cookies, and bags of potato chips. If you have a hard time controlling your food intake, then you will be more likely to overeat when faced with a bottomless food pit. I remember going to the movies on more than one occasion when I was overweight and sitting down with a tub of buttered popcorn. Id become so engrossed in the movie that I didnt notice the robotic way that I was taking popcorn from the tub and putting it into my mouth. I only became conscious of what I was doing when my hand scraped the bottom of the empty tub. You want to eat consciously and enjoy the experience. If you do want to enjoy popcorn at the movies, then order the smallest size. If you must have cookies or potato chips, then have the snack size (not the grab bag size, which can contain 2 servings or more). If you are going to a buffet, be sure to have an apple or other piece of fruit before you leave home. That way, you can decide which items you will have rationally rather than be at the mercy of a ravenous appetite when you get to the buffet! Sleeping with the enemy While it is true that some fast food restaurants are offering healthy items on their menus today, most menu items are still either fatty, salty, sugary, or a combination of the three. Be honest: If you go into Burger King and smell the hamburgers and fries, how likely is it that you will order a salad? Again, you dont want to lead yourself into temptation. However if you must go to a fast food restaurant, then I recommend that you check out the establishments Web site beforehand. Usually, they will post the menu and provide nutritional statistics on the items they offer. You can decide ahead of time what you will have. Then, go to the drive thru to get it. That way, you wont be tempted by the smells of the unhealthy stuff. The above pitfalls are just a few challenges you will need to handle on your way to achieving your goals. The better you can handle these challenges, the sooner you will enjoy the spoils of victory: A healthier, fitter body.

By Mona Spencer There are different kinds of fishing. You can fish for sport if you want to keep it and put it on the wall as a prize. You can catch fish and throw them back. You can catch fish to eat. You need the proper supplies, some know how and good company. There are different styles of fishing and each one uses different equipment. There is bait casting, spinning, pole and line, spincasting, and flyfishing. You need to choose between different types of poles, rods, hooks, and bait. Depending on what type of water you will be in, saltwater, freshwater, or ice you will choose a pole with different types of reels and line spools. Depending on what type of fish you will be catching, you have to choose from a variety of hook sizes. You also can choose between various kinds of sinkers and bobbers, to keep your line steady in the water so the fish aren’t startled away. You also have to keep in mind what kind of fish you will be trying to catch. If you are going to fish at a specific location and don’t know what fish you are looking for, it can make it more difficult to catch the fish. Using certain types of bait will attract certain types of fish. You should learn which fish are in the type of water you will be fishing in and what kind of bait they will respond to. There are also different lures available. A lure is what a person fishing uses to get the attention of the fish not scaring it away, but drawing it closer. There is certainly a lot to learn about fishing. All states have different regulations regarding this. Before you go fishing, you should find out if the place you would like to fish allows fishing. Sometimes, you might be required to show your fishing license in order to be permitted to fish. You should take an expert along with you to help you learn the skills and local regulations. This is also a safety precaution, as it is a very good idea to bring a partner along with you just in case something goes wrong. Even though fishing itself is not a dangerous sport, there are some mishaps that are possible. Pack a first aid kit, and always wear a personal floatation device. If you are wading, you need to know how deep the water is and you should wear long boots and protective pants. Fishing is a fun way to kick back and enjoy yourself. Sometimes you can even caste your line, and set it down and read a book, or tap a nap. When there is a nibble, it will be sure to get your attention. You can catch a whole new hobby, hook, line and sinker! Mona Spencer was brought up near Amazon river.

By Jenn Farrell Itching, flaking, and the dread that comes with wearing a dark-coloured shirtit may not be life-threatening, but dandruff can certainly be an embarrassing condition. Dandruff is quite commonthose flakes are simply dead skin cells created when the bodys natural shedding process becomes overactive. An overly oily scalp (seborrhea) is usually to blame. Less common is dandruff caused by the blocked oil glands of a very dry scalp, giving the hair a dull, lifeless appearance. The good news is that most dandruff is not serious. Its easy to treat with a trip to your health food store and a bit of consistency and patience. Shampoos and conditioners Frequent shampooing will help alleviate dandruff by clearing away dead skin cells. Choose a gentle product thats free of sulphates and strong detergents. Gently massage shampoo into the entire scalp with the fingertips (not the nails) to loosen flakes and rinse thoroughly so no follicle-clogging residue is left behind. Many all-natural brands have created products especially for dandruff sufferers with these healing ingredients: Tea tree oil soothes the scalp with its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger is a powerful stimulant that will loosen and help shed accumulated flakes. Herbs like thyme, burdock, lavender, and rosemary are all beneficial to the skin and hair. These can also be obtained as tinctures and used as a soothing scalp massage. Treatments Apple cider vinegar is one of the most popular and effective home treatments for dandruff. A natural antiseptic that cleanses and refreshes the scalp, apple cider vinegar also helps to relieve itching. For a prewash treatment, apply one-quarter to one-third cup (60 to 80 ml) apple cider vinegar to the scalp and massage in. Leave it on for a few minutes, or up to an hour before shampooing; then wash hair as usual. After shampooing, rinse hair with a solution of one-part apple cider vinegar to one-part water. This solution will combat the effects of hard water and leave hair soft and shiny. Use either of these treatments daily until dandruff is under control. To prevent flare-ups, continue the treatment approximately once a week. Experiment with different treatments and frequency until you find the combination that works best, and youll be reaching for your favourite navy-blue shirt in no time.

By Jane Flinders The GI diet, based on the Glycemic Index, has recently become very popular, but the GI ranking system has been around since 1981. There have been several books published on the success of the GI diet, but is it really a diet or a lifestyle change? The glycemic index Dr. David Jenkins, from the University of Toronto in Canada, developed the glycemic index to measure the speed at which foods break down in the body to produce glucose. While originally intended to help diabetic patients control their glucose levels, it was soon used to help individuals trying to lose weight to control their eating habits and hunger. The key was to decrease the fast breakdown of foods into glucose. Glucose is the natural source of energy for the body. It produces a rush of energy when the food is broken down, and then when it is burned up, it leaves a feeling of hunger and fatigue. Depending on how fast they elevate the blood sugar level after eating, foods are considered high, medium and low GI foods. Low GI foods rank less than 55 on the glycemic index scale, medium GI foods go from 55 to 70 and high GI foods rank higher than 70. High GI foods break down very quickly in the body and make you feel hungry again soon after consuming them. Low GI foods are slowly digested and absorbed so you feel fuller for a longer period of time after you eat. High GI foods include: white flour products like white bread, croissants, doughnuts;heavily processed foods like corn chips, potato chips or pretzels;foods high in sugar like cookies, rice krispies, ice cream;high starch vegetables such as potatoes and parsnips;fruits high in sugar - watermelons, dates and other dried fruits. Medium GI foods include: most types of pasta;rice;some fruits like mangos, apricots and raisins;some vegetables like baked beans. Low GI foods include: most fruits and vegetables;legumes;cereals that are high in fibers but low on sugar;dairy products like low fat plain yogurt, whole, low fat or skimmed milk;whole grain breads. The Low GI Diet The low GI diet focuses on changing eating habits so that the majority of the foods consumed are from the low GI food group. These foods take longer to break down into glucose in the body. This does two basic things: Produces a more even level of glucose throughout the day to avoid those high glucose times followed by the low glucose slumps.Stops cravings and hunger from occurring as much. When these two components combine, they allow the dieter to eat a balanced meal and not experience the “energy slumps”. The whole grains and unprocessed foods take more time for the body to convert to glucose and keep the feeling of being full for longer. It also prevents those cravings which tend to cause overeating or consuming foods that are not on the eating plan. However, the diet should not rely exclusively on the glycemic index as low GI foods aren’t necessarily healthy. Foods should be chosen based on their overall nutritional value. The glycemic index is influenced by a sum of factors like: the nutrient content of the foods, the extent to which they are processed, the cooking method, food combination or ripeness in the case of fruits and vegetables. Products that are high in fat have a low GI as they don’t break down as easily as the ones high in carbs. That doesn’t mean you should choose to eat high fat foods in order to stick to the index. As an example, whole milk is ranked lower than the fat free or low fat one. The glycemic index doesn’t rank foods that do not contain carbohydrates, like fresh meat, chicken, fish, eggs and cheese. However, it includes processed foods that include meat and diary products. For a healthy low GI diet you should choose lean or low-fat meats that have been trimmed of visible fat, skinless poultry, fish and low-fat dairy products, even though they aren’t ranked. The nutrient content is also very important. Between dates or watermelon and a bag of crisps the obvious choice is the fruit even though the watermelon is considered high GI because of the sugar content and the crips are considered low GI as they are high in fat and slow down the absorbtion process. It is also important to remember that the glycemic index ranks invidual foods only, not whole meals. Depending on how the foods are combined, the overall GI value of the meal can change and cannot be measured accurately, but the main idea is that including low GI foods in your meal will result in lower GI value overall. The low GI diet does not lead to rapid weight loss; rather it results in a steady and constant decrease in body weight. The individuals who use this plan find that they have more energy and therefore are more likely to exercise. So is the low GI plan a diet or a lifestyle? Most experts agree that it is a diet plan that leads to changes and becomes a lifestyle. Eating low GI foods just makes good sense for weight control and maintenance, energy levels and healthy eating.

By Brandi Simon Every person that thinks something is amiss in their relationship wants to know, what are the signs that my partner is cheating on me. Well guess what! These signs can leave you with more doubts than anything else. You’ve seen some. Shoot, if you’ve subscribed to The Injured Heart you’ve even seen a list of signs on this website. I included them as a thank you for subscribing to my newsletter because they can be beneficial and get you thinking about things you might not have thought of. However, some of the lists that I’ve seen both here on the web and in magazines has just left me with a hundred more doubts. My husband spends a lot of time on the computer. Does that in and of itself mean that he is cheating on me? Also, just because he may increase the amount of time he spends on the computer, does that mean that he’s cheating on me too? Do you see what I mean by these lists creating more doubts. Here’s the thing, you know what you marriage is normally like. Do you notice changes? Do things appear to be different than they were? Is this just because the two of you are settling into a comfort zone and allowing your relationship to slip or is it something more? As I said, you know what your relationship is normally. How far from normal do you think things are right now? If you feel that things are way off base in your relationship then they probably are. That does not mean that your partner is cheating. It means there is something wrong and you need to figure out what that is. Is it on your end or your partners end? Try to open the lines of communication with your partner! Many, many affairs happen because partners stopped communicating. Don’t just use the lists that are circulating out there! They are not concrete signs that tell you for sure if your partner is cheating. Their useful purpose is in the fact that they get you thinking!
