Popular Diets Carry Hidden Dangers, Warns Joel Fuhrman M.D.
Flemington, New Jersey (ContentDesk)
October 16, 2003 ? Joel Fuhrman, M.D. tells the truth about today's best-selling diets, no matter how strong or unpopular his message.
As the weight loss and nutritional expert on The Discovery Channel's Second Opinion with Dr. Oz, Dr. Fuhrman joins Mehmet Oz M.D.
and Oprah to discuss the obesity epidemic, which has been caused in large part by dangerous dieting.Popular diets such as the Atkins diet, the Zone, and the South Beach Diet result in short-term weight loss, emphasizes Dr. Fuhrman, and "the critical question is whether these diets are safe."
He cites the medical journal Angiology, where a study of people on the Atkins diet for one year experienced a decreased blood flow to their heart by 40 percent and increased inflammatory markers.
Ketogenic diets?like the Atkins plan?can also cause cardiomyopathy or dilation of the heart.
Scientific research shows a six-fold increase in certain cancers at the level of saturated fat seen in some of these popular diets.Dr. Fuhrman's nutritional approach to reversing conditions such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, allergies, and other diseases runs counter to the practice of conventional physicians highly reliant on drugs.
Joel Fuhrman, M.D., an expert in nutritional medicine who specializes in preventing and reversing diseases, has always spoken against the concept of "dieting."
According to Dr. Fuhrman, "Eating less to lose weight for a limited time period is of no benefit.
In fact, yo-yo dieting is not health promoting and increases coronary deposits leading to heart attacks."
Dr. Fuhrman, in his latest book, Eat to Live, speaks of a "diet style" or way to eat for the rest of one's life.
This diet style is based on his 90% rule ? that a diet should be made up of at least 90% unrefined fruits and vegetables, with animal products or processed foods constituting no more than 10% of total caloric intake.
Dr. Fuhrman's patients have experienced dramatic weight loss, averaging 18 pounds in the first month and 10 pounds each month after.For additional information about Dr. Fuhrman's interview on The Truth About Diets, see Second Opinion, premiering on The Discovery Channel at October 20, 2003 at 5:00 p.m. EST..
Don't Get Weighed Down by Temporary Water Weight Gain
Health and fitness go hand-in-hand. They are so intricately related to each other that even a small disturbance in one tends to directly affect the other! Health implies a lifestyle which is carried out in a balanced way and is aimed at leading a disease-free life. Fitness refers to the state of your body and mind
wherein both are stress-free and relaxed. Fitness is directly reflected in the way you look-- your body shape and size.
All of us dream of getting a beautiful figure.
But often, due to over-indulgence and a sudden increase in calories our body may
bulge in some areas due to an over accumulation of fat. This results in "cellulite" that is often stubborn and slow to react to any kind of treatment.
Many believe that becoming slim will decrease their weight. It is not true in all cases. Slimmer people can sometimes weigh more than apparently larger people due to the weight of their bones.
On the other hand,...

Colon Cancer and Colon Cancer Prevention
The colon is one of the most important organs in the body.
It's intended purpose is to return water and nutrients into our bodies and help us eliminate waste. American diets are low in fiber and digestive enzymes. This causes the body produce digestive enzymes at the expense of immune system enzymes.
The low level of fiber prevents the colon from cleaning itself and causes a buildup of toxic matter in the colon.
The buildup of toxic matter in the colon can lead to many health problems, the most serious of which is colon cancer.
The weakened immune system is unable to fight the disease.
Colon cleansing helps the body rid itself of toxic matter.
This in turn allows the colon to aid in the digestive process and allows the production of immune system enzymes to return to normal.
There are several ways to cleanse your colon. One is hydrotherapy, where a small disposable plastic hose is used to irrigate the colon.
