Bariatric Rehabilitation: Call to Action

March 3rd, 2010

In the past years, the Canadian Obesity Network has hosted two think tanks on the importance of rehabilitation expertise in the prevention and management of severe obesity. The proceeding of the first bariatric rehabilitation workshop held in Edmonton, Alberta in 2008 was now published in the latest edition of Disability and Rehabilitation.

Participants at this think tank consisted of around 50 health professionals, administrators, researchers and even EMS professionals.

The main goal of this workshop was to identify gaps in research and professional training that need to be addressed in light of the burgeoning number of individuals with severe and extreme obesity in Canada.

According to this paper:

“Gaps in knowledge and research included the need for better understanding of the biopsychosocial causes and consequences of obesity and the role for novel and existing rehabilitation interventions to prevent and treat obesity. Research is needed to explore how existing rehabilitation interventions and technology impacts the patients with obesity, which also has physical and psychological impairments typically treated by rehabilitation practitioners.

Although the need for rehabilitation for persons with obesity is documented in the literature, the capacity in terms of human resources, funding for research and technology and the development of bariatric friendly, accessible environments is limited. Participants of this meeting reinforced the need to develop training programmes in the form of continuing education and the inclusion of topics in bariatrics in discipline specific training programmes.

Additionally, in order for patients, their families and healthcare professionals to have access to obesity prevention and treatment services, models of care and education that reach out to rural and marginalized communities must be used. These currently exist through forms of telehealth, webinars and online courses.”

Clearly a bariatric rehabilitation is a topic that deserves far more emphasis in the training of health professionals and an area where there is an urgent need for rehabilitation research regarding best practices in dealing with this rapidly growing vulnerable population.

Do Brains of Obese Individuals Respond Differently to Food?

March 1st, 2010

Readers of these pages are by now probably quite familiar with the complexity of ingestive behavior and the importance of understanding brain function in relationship to food intake.

A study, published in this month’s issue of Obesity, illustrates how differences in brain function between obese and non-obese people can explain important differences in response to food.

In this study, Laura Martin and colleagues from the Kansas Medical Center used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine changes in brain activity in obese and normal weight adults while they viewed food and nonfood images in pre- meal and post-meal states.

Both in the pre-meal and post-meal state, obese participants showed increased activation in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the medial pre-frontal cortex (MPFC), regions of the brain responsible for the reward response and impulsiveness, respectively.

In addition, activation of the ACC was associated with decreased levels of self-reported dis-inhibition while MPFC activation was associated with increased self-reported hunger amongst obese participants.

These findings clearly suggest that brain function associated with food motivation differs in obese and non-obese adults and may well explain the different susceptibilities to weight gain and variability in response to diet interventions.

Given the emerging science on brain plasticity, it is certainly of interest whether or not these differences in brain function are acquired or are indeed innate. Whatever the case, we need to understand and acknowledge that our brains respond differently to the same food stimuli which easily explain why some people may find it much harder to resist overeating in our current obesogenic environment than others.

As I have said before, the obesity epidemic is simply the natural response to our unnatural environment.

Childhood Obesity Kills Native Americans, says Dr. Sharma’s blog

February 26th, 2010

Dr Arya M, Sharma is Professor of Medicine & Chair in Obesity Research and Management at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. He is also the Scientific Director of the Canadian Obesity Network. He has published widely on the management of obesity and related health problems.

Besides being an expert in Obesity, Dr. Sharma also keeps the netizens updated with his informative blog posts related to Obesity. In one of the blog posts he talks about how childhood obesity may affect mortality.

The blog post reads as, “Despite the wide-spread concern about the health impact of the childhood obesity epidemic, there is actually not much data that directly shows how this excess weight may affect mortality.

Such data is now available at least for native American kids, from a study by Paul Franks (National Institutes of Health, Phoenix, AZ) and colleagues, just published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The researchers analysed data from a cohort of 4857 American Indian (Pima or Tohono O’odham Indian) children without diabetes (mean age, 11.3 years) born between 1945 and 1984.

During a median follow-up period of around 24 years, death rates from endogenous causes among children in the highest quartile of BMI were more than double those among children in the lowest BMI quartile.

Similarly, rates of death from endogenous causes among children in the highest quartile of glucose intolerance were 73% higher than those among children in the lowest quartile and childhood hypertension was significantly associated with a 60% increased risk of premature death from endogenous causes.

Thus, at least in native Americans, childhood obesity is a significant risk factor for premature death – certainly a warning for those who believe that early obesity is something you can simply grow out of.

Given the raging epidemic of childhood obesity amongst the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis populations in Canada, these data should certainly prompt decisive action to address obesity amongst its native peoples.”

Brits Opt For Healthy Takeaway Dishes to Aid New Year Weight Loss

January 14th, 2010

Increased orders of healthy takeaways since New Year’s Day have prompted the UK’s leading online takeaway portal, which services 35,000 meal orders a day, to release a list of the healthiest takeaway option for each of the most popular cuisines, including calories.

Since New Year’s Day, the UK’s leading online takeaway portal www.just-eat.co.uk estimates that 36% of its orders have been healthier option takeaways, due to customers still wishing to enjoy takeaway food whilst also trying to lose the Christmas pounds.

In order to aid hungry consumers with their takeaway choices, Just-Eat has released a list of the healthiest takeaway options for people looking to trim down this New Year whilst still treating themselves, all available from restaurants across the UK online.

Here are Just-Eat.co.uk’s healthiest takeaway options by the five most popular cuisines, including vegetarian options:

Indian

Chicken Tikka with half a Naan Bread = 390 Calories

Dhakla (Lentil dish) with half a Naan Bread = 335 Calories

Chinese

Lemon Chicken with Steamed Rice = 210 calories

Mushroom Chow Main and a Vegetable Spring Roll = 250 calories

Pizza

Two slices of Thin Base Pepperoni (medium pizza) Pizza with half a Garlic Bread and Salad (no dressing) = 380

Two slices of Cheese and Tomato (medium pizza) Pizza with half a portion of Potato Wedges and Salad (no dressing) = 410 calories

Thai

Thai Green Curry with Chicken, stir fry Vegetables and a Spring Roll = 550 Calories

Soup, Tom Yam (Hot & Sour) followed by Thai Banana and Green Chilli Salad with one Spring Roll = 310 Calories

Turkish

Small Chicken Shish Kebab with Pita Bread and Salad = 240 Calories

Small Kofta Kebab with Pita and Salad = 260 Calories

A user-study by Just-Eat.co.uk of 1,086 people found that 92% of women are aiming to lose weight in the New Year, compared to 48% of men. Despite the fact that 72% of women said they’d happily replace their takeaway favourites with a healthier option, just 18% of men agreed that they’d do the same.

David Buttress, UK MD of Just-Eat.co.uk said:

“The New Year will always bring new aims and goals; however these healthier takeaway options are available all year round and are a fantastic option if you are looking for low-fat alternatives. Certain fast food chains have given takeaways a bad reputation, but when you order from independent restaurants such as the 4,000 we are partnered with, you are getting hand prepared food, with no longevity-enhancing additives.

He continues:

“There has been a noticeable rise in healthy options being ordered via our site since the New Year, a time when many decide they’d like to get into better shape. Treats are an important part of any weight loss effort, so I hope this list of healthy takeaway options is of some use!”

Know the Type of Exercise for Weight Loss

November 14th, 2009

Loosing weight forever, is a dream for many but they are not sure if is even possible. It is not tough but definitely possible if take care of certain important things. Exercising is one of the best sort ways to shed weight. Exercise is an important weight loss tool, but how much you need varies from person to person.

One can choose from a varied range of exercises from best weight loss programs, what suits their body type not hurting themselves. There are several exercises that are like ordinary activity that one can follow in order to have a healthy lifestyle. These will help you to be fit physically as well as to be mentally sound. To keep the weight under control, keep the energy intake (food) and energy output (physical activity) in balance. To lose weight, you must burn more calories than you eat. But first we should know the type of exercise that helps in weight loss.

Eccentric Exercise: Aerobic exercises are referred to as eccentric ones. Jogging, rope skipping, swimming, bicycling, brisk walking and aerobic dance Walking is a better alternative to running or jogging as it is easier on the body. Moreover, is a natural part of our lives. The amount of calories you burn while walking is the same as the calories you burn while you run or does any other type of exercise. This will burn carbohydrates but will increase metabolism to burn fat faster at rest.

Isometric Exercise: An Isometric contraction occurs when there is tension on a muscle but no movement is made causing the length of the muscle to remain the same.

  • Attempting to lift an immoveable object
  • holding a weight at arm’s length
  • some wrestling movements

Isotonic Exercise: All lifting exercises require isotonic contractions.

  • Flex the bicep muscle.
  • Stand with one arm straight and the palm of the hand facing up.
  • lifting objects above the head – front shoulder (anterior deltoid) shortens
  • lifting object up from lying position – chest muscle shortens
  • lifting body up from squat position – quadriceps muscle shortens as legs extend
  • doing a sit up
  • throwing a ball
  • swinging a bat

Isokinetic Exercise: Similar to the isotonic contraction, the Isokinetic contraction causes the muscle to shorten as it gains tension. It requires special equipment to exercise properly.

  • Swimming

But the thing is how much exercise it takes, types of exercise and exercising with health conditions. To get started with, one should be motivated for bringing new change in one’s lifestyle. It makes you feel better while shaping and toning your body. Exercise is an important step in restoring, maintaining and increasing strength along if you put your hand on the best weight loss programs in the market. It can provide a diversion and help build self-confidence by providing a positive self-image.

“Giving to Those Who Give”: oBand Surgery Centers Award Four Morbidly Obese Humanitarians With a Life Saving Surgical Procedure

August 10th, 2009

oBand Surgery Centers Vow to Continue to Award Their Life Changing Lap Band Surgery to Deserving Individuals to Promote California’s Health And Welfare

LOS ANGELES, CA–(March 31, 2009) – In an effort to improve the health and welfare of California’s residents and as a way of ‘giving back’ to the community, oBand Surgery Centers announced the award of its lifesaving Lap Band surgical weight loss procedure to four morbidly obese humanitarians in California. The four awardees are: 32-year old, 402-lb. Lance Skier of Simi Valley; 35-year old, 260-lb. Tobin Pierce of Trabuco Canyon; 40-year old, 306-lb. Joel Villarreal of Brea; and 51-year old, 290-lb. Robert Spina of Azusa. All were nominated for their selfless actions in helping others and giving back to their communities. The four awardees were chosen from hundreds of qualified candidates.

The Lap Band procedure is a safe, noninvasive surgical procedure that helps obese patients lose weight and significantly reduce or eradicate co-morbid conditions like diabetes, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure. To date, oBand’s highly accomplished surgical team has performed over 6,000 procedures with stellar results. oBand is the only outpatient Lap Band facility in California fully accredited by the American College of Surgeons and is an Accredited Outpatient Bariatric Surgery Center by the Bariatric Surgery Center Network (BSCN).

In launching its “Giving to Those Who Give” campaign, oBand founder and CEO Isaac Verbukh, M. D. notes that oBand plans to continue to reward individuals who are selflessly making a difference in their communities.

“Choosing our four finalists amongst the many truly giving and selfless people was both difficult and rewarding. Obesity is the second most common preventable cause of death in the U.S. By helping our winners, who are suffering from obesity, we are making a small but significant difference in the lives of not only these individuals but their families and their communities.”

The medical community recognizes that over 11 million people in America suffer with the disease of obesity and it is growing at epidemic proportions. For thousands, it is a challenging, painful way of life — socially, emotionally and physically.

“oBand is committed to restoring the members of our community to nearly normal body weight by giving them the opportunity to benefit from the oBand Lap Band procedure. By doing so, oBand is giving back to those who give to help them pursue their dreams and inspire others to take an active role in helping themselves and their communities.”

In the coming months, oBand plans to establish a charitable organization for the purpose of education and research. A portion of the proceeds will go to providing Lap Band surgeries to obese individuals who are actively involved in their communities.

oBand Surgery Centers is headquartered in Westwood, CA. oBand is the certifying body for all its surgery centers ensuring a consistent high level of medical care, quality assurance, and humanitarian commitment. For more information, go to: www.obandcenters.com.

Wellbox, a Celebrity Beauty Technology, is the ‘Little Black Dress’ of Holiday Beauty Buys

February 21st, 2009

Miami, FL According to Techno-Derm, LLC, the US distributor of Wellbox Beauty Technology, there have been double digit increases in the number of women buying costly Wellboxes for themselves this holiday season – despite the economic fallout. Why? It’s the ‘little black dress’ phenomenon – when women spend lots of cash on an uber special little black dress knowing it’s going to be a wardrobe staple – a classic ‘go to’ dress for every occasion. In the long run, it’s cheaper than a special occasion dress because it’s worn so much, so often. According to women, Wellbox gives women the same kind of long-term value beauty investment.

Based on professional-grade treatments like Lipomassage, Endermologie and Facial Fitness, Wellbox offers a huge array of incredibly effective, value-added treatments for both face AND body beauty. And although the gentle micro-pulsation is superficial, it acts on the deep skin tissues to chemically stimulate cellular repair. What’s that mean? Long-lasting results.

When applied to the delicate tissues of the face, neck and décolleté, Wellbox helps activate fibroblast collagen production to restore aging skin’s resilience and elasticity. It has applications for beautifying forehead wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet, dark undereye circles, baggy eyes, slackening jawlines, nasogenial furrows, laugh lines, double chins and loose facial contours. It’s an all-in-one anti-aging beauty treatment that’s ideal for every woman.

This little black dress of a technology literally helps women fit better in their little black dress. How so? The body beauty applications of Wellbox attack fat, specifically the kind that won’t respond to exercise or dieting. So along with inch loss in treated areas, women’s cellulite is dramatically reduced if not eliminated. It’s great for any woman wanting dimple-free skin for bathing suit season – or a little help fitting into her too tight skinny jeans. And for new moms, Wellbox is a fast-track solution for getting back in shape and smoothing loose, post-pregnancy skin.

Not only is it simple to use, it’s also au-natural. That’s why a few years ago, Wellbox was super popular with big-name celebrities (like Catherine Zeta Jones, Tyra Banks, Sharon Stone, Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Linda Evangelista, Uma Thurman, Daisy Fuentes, Bai Ling, Paris Hilton, Katherine Heigl, Paula Abdul, Daryl Hannah, Julie Delpy, America Ferrera, Debra Messing, Judi Dench, Felicity Huffman and Nicolette Sheridan). In fact, beyond it’s facial and body rejuvenation benefits, Wellbox is used to soothe a variety of body aches and pains – from tight spots and knots in the neck and shoulder, to overworked muscles. Women probably find that useful after all this holiday shopping…

Wellbox Technology is marketed and distributed by Techno-Derm, LLC, (DBA: LPG America), 10800 Biscayne Blvd., Ste. 850 in Miami, Florida. For more on Wellbox and LPG’s FDA-cleared medical devices, visit Wellbox.com. Cost $1699.

Weight Loss Formula Pi2 launches to rave reviews from users. A dynamic food control and weight loss dietary aid designed to naturally and effectively with a dieters own metabolism.

March 20th, 2008

Dieters who have previously been de-railed from their diets due to hunger and a lack of satiety (a feeling of completeness or satisfaction through eating) are ecstatic with the results from using “Weight Loss Formula Pi2”. “People don’t fail diets, diets fail people” states L&L Technologies CEO Lezlie Leier “Studies show that the main reasons people go off a diet is they feel hungry and deprived of something or that the diet regimen is simply too complex or time consuming to sustain for long periods of time” Weight Loss Formula Pi2 totally reverses that trend and makes dieting easier with it’s all natural active ingredient of a Proteinase Inhibitor II and supporting ingredients of white tea and elemental Calcium.

Over 11 clinical studies site the effectiveness of proteinase inhibitor II in assisting with significant weight reduction and reduction in hip, thigh and buttock measurements in the groups studied. L & L co-founder Lisa Leier-McHugh states, “We spent many years of research for a product that actually worked with the human body to promote a natural and healthy weight management profile, we found that with proteinase inhibitors and created Weight Loss Formula Pi2” “The goal to Eat Less, Feel Great and Lose Weight has been achieved” Proteinase Inhibitors initiate a series of bio-chemical reactions in the body that quickly relay to your brain a real and sustainable feeling of fullness or satiety. A video of the process can be viewed at www.formulapi2.com Studies have also shown that blood glucose levels remain more static and stable for longer periods of time with the use of Proteinase Inhibitors such as those found in Weight Loss formula Pi2.

Weight Loss Formula Pi2 does not trick or stimulate a person’s metabolism, those who have used the product report a general “good feeling” but not jitters or hyper stimulation associated with many diet aids today. The easy delivery system is another contributor to success, since Formula Pi2 is not a pill, but rather a soft chew that is delicious, fun to eat and effective at battling hunger. Weight Loss Formula Pi2 is designed as a tool that works well with any food program or diet and exercise program one may be following. It combats the enemy all people trying to change their lifestyles face, hunger.
