Weight Loss Can Boost Your Libido

If you have lost your mojo, replacing certain foods in your diet and dropping a few pounds can increase your libido therefore not needing to take Viagra according to a new study.

The risks associated with obesity are widely known, and adult-onset diabetes is the largest risk associated with it. But did you know that the disease can cause male impotence? It's true. According to The National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse, nerve damage or reduced blood flow puts male diabetics at risk for sexual problems and bladder issues some 10 to 15 years sooner than their healthy counterparts. In fact, as many as 75 percent of men with diabetes suffer from such problems, and most of the time, the symptoms go undiagnosed. 

A recent study in The Journal of Sexual Medicine points to some good news: Losing just 5 percent of body weight can improve erectile function and enhance sexual desire in obese men with Type 2 diabetes. Only a small number of men were studied, but the results were remarkably consistent across the board. Whether they lost 5 or 10 percent of their original body weight, the subjects showed increased testosterone levels and better erections for as long as they maintained their weight loss. 

So how do I lose the weight without taking Xenical I hear you saying, well I will list a few easy pointers to guide you in the right direction to losing that midriff.

Limit Tran’s fats

A little fat won't hurt you, unless its Tran’s fat. According to a Harvard University study in the US, you could cut your risk of a heart attack in half by eating just 4g less of Tran’s fat each day.

Swap to Olive Oil

It's one of the richest sources of oleic acid and everyone should have a bottle of olive oil in their kitchen to cook with, instead of butter, margarine & Vegetable oil. Olive oil also contains vitamin E, an antioxidant that will strengthen your immune system and may lower high blood pressure.

Eat Porridge

Pretty simple this one, just eat it at least twice a week and it's full of B vitamins. Studies have also shown that adding a spoonful of antioxidant-packed honey will improve spatial memory, according to studies by the University of Waikato, New Zealand.

Stock up on Fish

Try and eat fish as much as possible especially Sea Bass which tend to be very low in fat, so are an excellent choice for people who are trying to lose weight

Eat your greens

What ever your favourite vegetables maybe add them to your meals, meaning you will be eating more food but fewer calories especially if you swap them for chips.

Exercise

Exercise is a must for weight loss even if it is just 15mins per day. Try and work out as hard as you can for those 15mins and within a month you should notice some toning.

Follow these guidelines and within 2-3 months noticeable weight loss and toning should be showing, and not only that your erectile problems may have gone altogether.

Many UK women face cancer risk 'due to Obesity'

Nearly fifty percent of women in England are at increased risk of some cancers because of their large waistlines, says a cancer charity.

The World Cancer Research Fund warning is based on data from the Health Survey for England suggesting 44% have a waist size exceeding 31.5 inches (80cm). Research has found that these women are particularly at risk from bowel and breast cancer. A third of men had a larger than recommended waistline.

The Health Survey for England, which monitors trends in the country's health and is commissioned by the Department of Health, was published earlier this month. It contained information and statistics on obesity and raised waist circumference in men and women in England. Previous scientific studies have shown that excess body fat increases cancer risk.

Strong evidence

There is strong evidence that a large waistline is particularly harmful and raises the risk of cancers of the bowel, pancreas, breast (post-menopausal) and womb lining, the World Cancer Research Fund says.

Dr Rachel Thompson, deputy head of science for WCRF, said it was often thought that men were more likely to put on weight on their stomach. "But these statistics show that, actually, women in England are more likely to have a raised waist circumference than men.”This is why it is important that we let women know that this is just as relevant for them, particularly as breast and endometrial cancers account for about a third of newly diagnosed cancers in women," she said. Dr Thompson added: "Over the last few years the evidence has become increasingly strong that excess body fat and particularly fat carried around the middle, is a cancer risk factor."

What treatment is available for Obesity?

So far there are only two treatments that are available in the UK which are Xenical and Alli, both are the same drug Orlistat. Orlistat works in the digestive system in the small intestine as a fat absorber. It blocks out a third of the fat in food eaten in a patient's diet.

Xenical is the stronger of the two medications which is double the strength of Alli which is why it is only available on prescription for people who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of over 28. To Buy Xenical Online please click the highlighted link

Anti-Obesity Drug Contrave Gains FDA Advisory Approval

Orexigen Therapeutics has had their weight loss drug Contrave passed by the FDA Advisory Board. 

Orexigen achieved a major milestone for the two out of three Americans who are overweight or obese. There has not been a new weight loss medication introduced in the last 10 years leaving Xenical as the main weight loss aid. and several drugs that were on the market have been withdrawn due to safety concerns. Two other drug makers submitted NDA applications for anti-obesity treatments earlier this year, but the same advisory panel that approved Contrave rejected their applications because of side effect concerns. The difficulties faced by others in gaining approval further demonstrate the significance of this achievement. 

Contrave combines the anti-craving drug naltrexone with the antidepressant bupropion in a single tablet. The combination boosts metabolism while curbing appetite and cravings. 

Weight loss business growing at fast pace

As obesity remains a health concern for most of Europe and especially the UK, the market for weight loss supplements or diet pills has grown strong in the UAE.

"Despite the economic crisis across the globe, the weight management market is still accelerating as the core targets of this market are the consumers for whom health and beauty is of higher importance than the cost. Such impulsive consumers are driving the growth of the market," Dr Safeek Ali, a dietician at Welcare Hospital, told Gulf News.

"The market players are therefore formulating attractive advertisements and brand promotions to gear up their product revenues amongst the numerous other alternatives and substitutes that are available in the market."

Big names

The two biggest players in the UAE weight-loss pills market were Xenical, produced by Swiss giants Roche, and Reductil, made by the US's Abbott Laboratories.

At the beginning of this year, Reductil was recalled from the shelves of 300 licensed pharmacies across the emirates due to risks they carried of increasing the chance of heart attack and stroke. Following this, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched a campaign against weight-loss products that contained certain prescription drugs and chemicals, many of which were being sold as dietary supplements.

They issued warnings about more than 70 products found to contain undeclared chemicals. According to pharmacists, Xenical is the only chemical product on the market. According to recent national statistics, more than 60 per cent of Emiratis are overweight.

The World Health Organisation estimates that more than 25 per cent of men and almost 40 per cent of women aged over 15 in the UAE are obese. Health experts have put it down to diet, lifestyle and education.

Obesity in the UK

More than half of the adult population in the UK is either overweight or obese. About 2 in 5 adults in the UK are overweight while 1 in 5 adults are obese. The number of obese people in the UK is rising, particularly among young adults.
