5 Ways Fat Burners would Deteriorate Your Health

Hello today I am gonna write about how fat burning supplements would deteriorate your health. The market of fat burning supplements is progressing and flourishing in the modern era and most of the people are preferring these supplements considering a shortcut of getting rid of those extra calories that has accumulated on them, but they had never thought about its side effects and its functioning.
The work of fat burning supplements is to speed up the metabolic rate of an individual which leads to rapid weight loss due to fast consumption of calories and hence unwanted fat disappears from one’s body.
Now let me come to the issue of concern, i.e. side effects of fat burning supplements.

  
1. Remarkable Rise in Blood Pressure
As had previously described that fat burners heat up body by increasing metabolic rate causing weight lose. Some institutions like Vanderbilt University claims that fat burners containing caffeine and ephedrine lead to a remarkable increase in blood pressure. This may lead to risk of decreased circulation.

2. Dehydration
Dehydration can no doubt occur in people using these fat burners especially in summers. Many institutions like Vanderbilt University claims that fat burners containing ephedrine and caffeine can lead to dehydration leading to excess loss of water especially during workout time. 

3. Mental Instability
It has been also noticed that these fat burning supplements may lead to psychological imbalance. It may cause cause nervousness, anxiety and mood disorders. They person may develop an aggressive nature and sometimes mood disorder causing self-harm.

4. Insomnia
As these fat burners increase metabolism which results in burning lot of calories hence making you fatigue and sleepy.

5. Death
Now this can be the worst scenario which fat burning supplement can cause. Body building expert Margie James claims that that fat burning supplements can be fatal. Moreover FDA has banned the usage of fat burners containing ephedrine. This happened as fat burners containing ephederine were partially responsible for the death of prominent athlete in 2003.

Apart from all these side effects there is one more thing which I want to make clear that long term use of  fat burner may make your body used to them and when left there would be drastic fall in your metabolism making you gain more fat at a faster rate.
Now its all up to you to decide whether to take this shortcut which may become a wrong turn for you.

Breast cancer is a type of cancer which originates from the tissues of breast commonly from the mammary tissues, what happens is that simple tissues grow abnormally which leads in the formation of malignant tumor(s) which leads to breast cancer.
Though breast cancer is the safest among all the cancers. As it can be diagnosed as it is easily palpable while in other cancers it isn’t diagnosed early stages as no symptoms are seen. Secondly it is localized i.e. it hasn’t spread as its growth isn’t rapid. Thirdly it can be easily amputated (mastectomy).Hence if properly treated properly life can be prolonged.
Breast cancer can occur in both male and female, though the ratio of men to the women are very less. In men it is more dangerous as it shows late symptoms.
Its symptoms can be easily seen as its symptoms show some nodular deformities.

Get Rid Of Fatigue – Live A Healthy Life

My friend always says me that he gets fatigue very fast and that’s why everyone makes fun of him. I hope many of  you may be like him and want to get rid of it as he wants, I can suggest some ways by which you can get rid of fatigue.

Bring change in your lifestyle

Let me tell you fatigue is common in people of middle age and those having a lifestyle of couch potatoes and one can easily get ridof this problem if he uses a healthy life style and analyze the changes he requires to get rid out of this problem.

Relate it with your health problems

Sometimes fatigue is a common symptom of many diseases like diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, anemia, thyroid disease, and sleep apnea, if you have any of these health problems then it may be the cause of your fatigue and in that case you must consult a doctor and discuss your problem with him, so he may diagnose you properly and gives you the proper medications to overcome your problem.

Sometime many subscribed drugs e.g. anti epileptic drugs may cause fatigue and if it happens you must go for the alternative of drug or make a change in your drug. Same happened with me too till the time I used Zonegran(anti epileptic drug) but later when I changed it with Epilive and my fatigue reduced a lot.

Utilize free time for workout

You may be thinking I am not serious and joking as exercising makes us feel tired. Studies and researches all over the world have proved that exercising and working out boosts up one’s energy level.

“Exercise has consistently been linked to improved vigor and overall quality of life,” says Kerry J. Stewart, professor of medicine and director of clinical and research exercise physiology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “People who become active have a greater sense of self-confidence. But exercise also improves the working efficiency of your heart, lungs, and muscles,” Stewart says. “That’s the equivalent of improving the fuel efficiency of a car. It gives you more energy for any kind of activity.”

It also increases once metabolic rate by increasing the efficiency of our vital organs and makes one self confident.

Drink plenty of water

Water also plays an important role in maintaining the energy level of our body. As we all know lack of water in our body leads to dehydration which is a phase in which more energy is utilized and causes fatigue, not only me but many scientists have claimed it.

“Our research shows that dehydration makes it harder for athletes to complete a weight lifting workout,” says Dan Judelson, PhD, assistant professor of kinesiology at California State University at Fullerton.

It’s reasonable to think that dehydration causes fatigue even for people who are just doing chores.” Dehydration has

Role of Physical Education And Exercise In Maintenance of Health

Hello readers I am back to share some of my thoughts with you that how physical education and exercise maintains our health and keep us physically fit.
Though this topic came to my mind when I came to know that what misconceptions people have for Physical education. Many people think that Physical education is just a subject that has nothing except of playing in ground while some say that it is just wastage of time, many people have the misconception that people concerned with physical education have no status in society.
Now it’s time to make people realize how much importance this subject has in our life and how it affects our health.

Refreshes person’s mind
Physical exercises like aerobics, cardio and many other such exercises refreshes our mind and it is also said that

“If mind is sick then the whole body gets sick”

Increases muscular strength
Heavy exercises such as working out in gym, going for training and adventure sessions which increase muscle strength and endurance of a personality.
As it is also said that

“Sound mind rests in sound body”

Gives you self confidence and maintains your status in society
As I have already said many people have misconceptions that physical education and exercise doesn’t improves one’s status but its totally wrong because the strength and full shape body makes one more confident and hence he has a stable psychology and which provide one with a proper status in society.

Makes you get rid of anxiety and depression
As I have earlier also said that physical exercise is the best way to get rid of anxiety and depression as it diverts our mind and refresh our whole body.

This was all I want to say now you have to decide weather to take it as a serious matter or not.

“Dengue Fever”

Hello dear readers, it has been so long to talk to you due to some of my personal issues, but now I am back with one of the most burning topic related to health i.e. Dengue Fever which is spread in many tropical and subtropical regions.

Dengue Fever
It is a disease which is caused due to a family of virus spread by mosquitoes. It severely effect the platelet count of the person and weakness is felt in whole body, though I also had experienced this a week ago but recovered from it as it was in early stage, let me not be more personal as this blog is for the awareness of the people not a blog for my personal issues.

Symptoms of Dengue Fever
1. Continuous high fever
2. Severe headache
3. Severe joint pain
4. Muscle pain
5. Rashes on whole body
6. Drop in platelet count (Normal range 250,000-200,000)

Prevalent areas
Though the most prevalent areas of Dengue fever are Tropical and subtropical regions and in U.S.A. it is prevalent in south of Virginia.

Treatment
As I have already said it is caused by a family of virus spread through mosquito bite so there no medicinal treatment but as treatment one can:
1. Treat symptoms
2. Increase intake of fluids
3. Keep on going for a blood test to check weather platelet count may not fall as prescribed by the doctor.

In the end I want to say that if diagnosed timely Dengue fever can be easily cured but I would rather say

“Prevention is better than cure”.
