But as more long-term data become available about the generally positive outcomes for bariatric surgeries, more consumers are opting for these procedures than for any other non-cosmetic elective surgery.

With most of us normally so reluctant to go under the knife, what’s driving the popularity of bariatric procedures? Quite simply, as an investment in health, they offer a very high return.

Follow-up research on patients of earlier bariatric surgeries is showing that the prospects for long-term weight loss are better than with any other mode of treatment for seriously overweight people, those classified as morbidly obese.

The data also show that post-operative health outcomes for patients of bariatric surgery are remarkably good, with major improvements in diabetes, cardio-vascular health, musculoskeletal conditions and sleep disorders.

But perhaps the most important outcome shown is that these health improvements are lasting, specifically because patients of bariatric surgery have excellent chances of maintaining a much lower, much healthier weight for years to come.

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, bariatric surgery offers the best treatment to produce sustained weight loss in patients who are morbidly obese.

That assessment has been borne out by the statistics. The maximum weight loss is usually reached between 18 and 24 months after their surgery. The amount of weight lost tends to vary a little between the various procedures, but on an average, a loss of 60 percent of the excess weight was still maintained at five years after the surgery.

One study of over 600 patients reported that an average of 50 percent of the excess weight lost was still maintained at 14 years after the surgery. The numbers for weight loss maintenance in other treatment approaches come nowhere near these rates.

Roughly speaking, the morbidly obese are those defined as being 100 pounds overweight, or with a body mass index (BMI) of 39 or more. A score of 35 or more is used for those who already have associated health problems, such as diabetes or heart disease.

Also referred to as clinically severe obesity, it’s a condition that presently affects about six million Americans. And for these people, the risks associated with remaining overweight are simply much greater than the risks of going under the knife.

People at lower BMIs typically are not considered as candidates for bariatric surgery bariatric surgery without extenuating circumstances.

And sometimes people above a BMI of 40 are not considered because of other factors. Certain psychological conditions might preclude an individual’s candidacy, or an inability to commit to lifestyle changes necessary for weight maintenance.

For instance, people who consume lots of sweets and high-fat junk foods and who don’t really plan to give them up, won’t get the lasting improvements they want from the surgery.

And there are some patients who have delicate health complications such that they may have to lose weight in a supervised program before undergoing the surgery.

With rates for complications below 2 percent and mortality of less than one-half a percent, bariatrics surgeries have proven, safety-wise, to be comparable to other elective procedures, and far less risky than the heart bypass operations that are so common today.

That’s a remarkably low incidence of post-operative complications, particularly considering that the general health in this patient population is highly compromised by their excess weight to begin with.

Yet even as new techniques are developed that improve the safety and efficacy of bariatric procedures and minimize some of their unpleasant side effects experts worry that the public will get the idea that these are routine surgeries that offer a silver bullet solution to the problems of the gravely obese.

Surgery is a complex and demanding procedure for both the doctor and the patient, and like any surgery, it shouldn’t be taken lightly. Most bariatric surgery specialists will not agree to perform a bariatric procedure on a patient who hasn’t already demonstrated a concerted effort to get rid of some of their excess through more conventional weight-loss methods.

Surgical preparation usually includes weight loss and conditioning for the patient immediately before the operation, and then there is a lot of lifestyle and maintenance work afterwards.

That’s the investment. The return? Early death related to weight decreases markedly, and aside from the other specific medical improvements, studies also show that bariatric surgery patients get improved mobility and stamina, better mood and self-esteem, improvements in social interactivity and interpersonal effectiveness. And for overall quality of life, that means a real long-term gain.

Although I can also do my activities during autumn and winter, I find that spring and summer are more exciting, especially when it comes to burning off calories.

Here are some fun activities I do and the calories burned out of them. Maybe you’ll want to do the same. Check it out….

1. Gardening – I clean my garden, water the flowers, plant seeds, trim shrubs, watch my blooming flowers, etc. Gardening during these seasons is fun and gives me lots of enjoyment. It is like a workout as I burn about 100-120 calories in 30 minutes gardening.

2. Bicycling -I love doing this activity. I can go anywhere I want as far as I can reach. This is like a low impact workout. But I don’t really go far, most of the time it is just in the neighborhood area. After riding about 30 minutes, I will have burned about 300 calories. This is a great way to stay in shape.

3. Trekking – I like to go trekking at a conservation park. It is fun and I enjoy the nice scenery; I also burn off some calories. For these activities I need more preparation because I have to wear a special outfit and need to do more warming up exercise to avoid cramps while climbing high area. For 30 minutes of trekking I burn about 350 calories.

4. Swimming – This is a fun way to stay cool during hot season. I go to the beach and indoor pools, depending on my schedule. However, I prefer swimming in the sea. It burns off my calories at about 300 in 30 minutes.

5. Water Skiing – This is a more rare activity I do. But, once in a while I go with my friends. It can help me build my upper and lower body muscles. From this activity, I’ll lose about 200 calories in 30 minutes.

If you have any other activities you like to do outdoor, just enjoy them.

Don’t forget to wear sun cream to protect your skin from sunburn. Have fun…

Several differences exist between the effectiveness, downtime and costs for each of these laser therapies. So, as you shop around for a laser treatment, be certain to ask these eight questions to make your laser experience affordable, healthy and positive.

1. What are the costs?
Although you are not looking for the cheapest service because that could prove unwise, you need to ensure that you can afford a complete series of lasser treatments. Typical costs range from $150-$2500 per treatment depending on the type of laser used, session time and the size of the treated area.

In some cases, you make require only one laser session to treat acne scars.

2. How many treatments will you need to get the results you want?
In most documented medical studies, patients needed 5-10 laser sessions before noting a marketed improvement in their skin.

3. How far apart will the treatments need to be?
With clinical trials for the Nd:YAG and Fraxel lasers, the time between treatments could vary between every three days to once a week.

4. Is there any downtime?
Reasons for downtime could include swelling and redness. Blue light therapy and nonablative lasers like Nd:YAG typically have little or no downtime. Since the Fraxel laser makes microscopic wounds on the skin, the recovery period could last five to seven days.

Also, inquire if your doctor will need to use an anesthetic during the laser session. If so, you may need to make arrangements to have someone pick you up after the treatment because of possible anesthesia induced drowsiness and/or weakness.

5. What type of improvements can you expect?
Ask to view some before and after images of the laser service you are considering. Make certain that these procedures were performed by your candidate doctor and are not clinical images supplied by the laser manufacture.

Providing laser surgeries, especially with the Fraxel laser requires much adeptness. Chances of post-treatment scarring soar with incompetent administration of the Fraxel laser.

6. What are the potential side effects?
Typical post-laser side effects could include hyperpigmentation, swelling and redness.

7. What type of post-treatment skincare regime will you need to follow?
Must you avoid direct sunlight for an extended period? Do you need to limit makeup usage?

8. Is there a more affordable and safe alternative including chemical peels?
Chemical peel alternatives and compliments to laser surgery include deep phenol-based peels or a series of alpha hydroxy peels.

Prices for peels can range from $150-$1550 depending on the depth of the peel applied.

If you are not yet a vegan, but long considered, you probably also have not eaten much tofu. Actually, people most frequently hear about tofu in jokes aimed at vegans and vegetarians.

What do you think draws vegans and vegetarians to tofu? It may be in part due to the lack of choices for a vegan diet.

Adhering to a vegan or vegetarian diet does not mean you have to eat tofu. In truth, quite a few vegetarians and some vegans do not eat veggie burgers or barbeque tofu.

With a bit of investigation you can identify healthy nutritional meals for a vegan diet. Eating healthy does not have to be a punishment. Because it can be prepared in a variety of consistencies and textures as well as flavors it truly is versatile.

Tofu is commonly viewed as an exclusive vegan or vegetarian meat replacement. That is unfortunate since it can be used in so many different dishes and it is a healthy and highly-nutritional meat substitute.

Besides being a close replacement in taste, tofu is a smart nutritional choice when it comes to eliminating meat from your diet. When it comes to eating tofu, vegetarians and vegans alike know the dietary value of tofu dishes.

The fact that tofu is made from steamed and compressed soy beans and offers low-fat, low cholesterol and low calorie content once again means that it provides an important part of a vegetarians nutrition. Soy beans are noted for their protein content, which is something vegans commonly lack in their diet. Soy is known to be a heart healthy food with links to a decreased risk in cancer.

As well as being served as a meat alternative, tofu is frequently served in many spicy and ethnic dishes. A number of Eastern Indian meals have sizeable quantities of tofu cooked and spiced in a variety of ways.

Please accept my suggestion concerning tofu for your vegan or vegetarian diet. Although a healthy alternative to meat, cooking with tofu is not mandatory to maintain a vegan lifestyle. However, I do recommend giving it a try before writing it off. It greatly expands your chocies of meals and helps keep your health and nutrition in check. Find a good vegan or vegetarian website and read about the many ways of cooking with tofu.

Inside these canals is a membranous sac filled with a fluid called endolymph. Surrounding the sac is another fluid, perilymph. These two fluids bathe the vestibular and hearing organs, enabling balance and normal hearing. When there is too much endolymph the condition is called Meniere’s disease.

This overabundance creates pressure, which builds until the sac bursts. Then the endolymph and perilymph mingle, sending an unbalanced message down the vestibular nerve to the brain. The resulting severe spinning, vertigo, nausea, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the ear are the symptoms of Meniere’s disease.

As the disease progresses, hearing loss increases. In 85% of cases one ear is affected; both ears are affected in just 15% of cases. In half of all cases the attacks will subside after two years; in 70% of cases, they will disappear in eight years. However, in all cases hearing loss may become progressively worse.

Medical treatments
Although the exact cause of Meniere’s disease is unknown, we do know that there are various triggers, including stress, allergies, excessive salt intake, caffeine, migraine headaches, and barometric changes in pressure. Common treatements of Meniere’s disease include prescribing a diuretic such as Dyazide, reducing dietary salt, and using of anti-vertigo drugs like Meclyzine (Antivert), Compazine, or Phenergan suppositories. One of the best drugs for stopping attacks of vertigo is sublingual Ativan (Lorazepan) three times a day. While these may help quell nausea and shorten the episodes, they cannot cure the disease.

Patients should also be skin tested for inhalant and food allergies, as 50% are found to have allergenic causes of Meniere’s that can be treated by injections. If migraine headaches are found to be the cause, they are usually treated with medication.

Surgical treatments
If medical treatment fails to stop vertigo, hearing loss, and ringing and pressure in the ear, surgery must be considered. In the past the only treatment was total destruction of the ear, which cured the vertigo but resulted in total hearing loss. In 1978 a different procedure was developed, one that cut the balance nerve to the brain yet preserved hearing and relieved vertigo in 95% of cases. But because it involved operating near the brain, only the most serious cases were treated in this way.

Development of minimally invasive procedures
With the advent of minimally invasive surgery for many surgical procedures, a search was made to find an effective office procedure to treat Meniere’s, one with minimal risk and discomfort. One such solution is the MicroWick, a procedure that is not only minimally invasive but can be implanted in the office and used for patient self-treatment at home. Patients place medication in their ear canal, and the MicroWick absorbs the medication and carries it to the inner ear. With the MicroWick two eardrop formulations are used: antibiotic and steroid.

For patients that have persistent vertigo attacks, gentamicin (an ototoxic antibiotic) is used as an eardrop in dilute concentrations three times a day. The patient is usually tested and seen once a week to titrate the amount. The results of this treatment are good: while some patients need to have repeat treatments, 81% are free of vertigo for four years after treatment. In some patients the inner ear is resistant to gentamicin and a vestibular neurectomy (cutting the balance nerve) or a labyrinthectomy is necessary. Fortunately, this happens in only 6% of patients

For patients whose main complaints are hearing loss, pressure, and tinnitus, dexamethasone is used in drop form. Dexamethasone is a powerful steroid that reduces inflammation, decreases allergic reaction, and may reduce fluid pressure in the ear. With this treatment, hearing is monitored at two-week intervals during the course of the four-week treatment. In many cases symptoms are relieved, and the risks and complications are minimal. Rarely does hearing worsen with this treatment, but occasionally after the MicroWick is removed the ear drum fails to heal and requires patching in the office.

Vestibular neurectomy
If minimally invasive procedures fail to alleviate vertigo symptoms and hearing is still present, a vestibular neurectomy may be necessary.

The original approach, the retrolabyrinine approach (RVN), was improved in 1985 to become the combined retrolabyrinthine/retrosigmoid vestibular neurectomy (RRVN). RRVN offers immediate and permanent relief from the vertigo caused by Ménière’s disease in over 95% of patients, and preserves hearing in 99% of patients. The procedure involves making a small opening just behind the mastoid and exposing a small portion of the mastoid bone. This gives the surgeon quick access to the hearing and balance nerve, which he or she micro-surgically severs.

The surgery is delicate. The hearing nerve and balance nerve are close to the facial nerve, which controls facial movements and expression. To prevent facial nerve damage, a facial nerve monitor is often used. This device warns the surgeon when he or she is close to the facial nerve. In over 9,000 procedures utilizing this monitor, no facial weakness has occurred.

After the RRVN, a patient’s unaffected ear takes over the balance function, and vestibular and balance rehabilitation helps them recover quickly. While vertigo is usually cured, hearing sometimes continues to deteriorate do to the progression of the disease.

Being intelligent matters. Despite the negative stigma given to intelligent people and so called nerds, society now understands that intelligence often counts more than muscle power, especially in this day and age.

Suddenly, being smart is cool. People want to develop brainpower these days. This means not just being smart in the sense of having a wealth of raw knowledge, but being smart where it counts, with practical application.

Here are five tips you can use to increase brainpower and boost your minds capacity to absorb and process information faster:

1) Choose supplements wisely
Yes, there are supplements that actually work. These may include memory-enhancement pills or medications that stave off mental fatigue for adults; there are also IQ enhancement milk supplements for children. A good number of these supplementary products on the market can actually give children a mental edge and help improve learning. Both children and adults need to follow a good, balanced diet and avoid vices that literally destroy brain cells such as smoking, drinking alcohol, and using illegal drugs. This will help keep your mind sharp over time.

2) Try speed-reading
This is a good way to bump up your learning curve. Speed-reading courses not only allow you to cover data faster, but they also train your mind to pick up visual details at a greater speed.

Another benefit you’ll gain by learning to speed read is that you train your brain to pick up the important details of the written text. Contrary to claims of some self-help courses, however, you cannot acquire a photographic memory if you don’t have one to begin with; however, speed-reading is the next best thing for those of who were not born with a photographic memory.

3) Test yourself often!
Here is a good memory enhancement drill. A study conducted by several colleges separated students into two groups. One group was given 5 minutes to study a text, and was then immediately given three 5-minute tests. Another group was given four 5-minute periods to study the same text, but was not immediately given a test afterwards.

A week later, they were all given a test on the same subject. The group that studied only once but took three tests outperformed the group that had studied the text four times but had taken no tests. The results are clear: don’t try to learn by just reading. Apply the knowledge you acquire and test yourself repeatedly.

4) Do drills on some basic math drills
Drilling basic math drills by using flashcards may seem like something that belongs in grade school, but even adults can benefit from it. Face it; most of us are spoiled by having calculators to do our addition and subtraction. At its core, math embodies the purest form of logic. Letting your basic math skills deteriorate is similar to letting your logical and deductive reasoning take a downslide.

5) Take Abstract Logic Tests
There are test books available in bookstores that give extensive tests on abstract logic. These tests present one with sets of 3 pictures; the test taker has to extrapolate from the first three pictures what the fourth logical concluding picture will be.

Buy a few of these books and try them out! Abstract logic may not be a direct help in concrete learning, but it actually improves your deductive reasoning capacity.

Try any of these activities and see how they boost your brainpower. Increase your minds capacity to absorb and process information faster.

Professor T Fujiyama, after successfully conducting tests on plants, discovered that the waves are capable of penetrating all kinds of matter, including non-conductors such as wood, glass and rubber. As such, it can penetrate the human body and stimulates the cells.

It improves the nervous system and internal functions of cells.

His theory includes:

1) Our cell’s magnetic pole is the same as the waves from Magnetic Therapy. This causes a push between the two. Thus it results in increased productivity in the cells.

2) The ionized blood cells will become more active and its blood will flow more smoothly. Therefore, it improves the healing of wounds.

3) Magnetic Ultra Long Wave produces 60 vibrations per second to revive inactive lymph and immune system.

Experiments have shown that this Magnetic Therapy increases the growth rate of small animals. It also increases the diameter of its capillaries up to twice its size to lower the blood pressure. The functions of Magnetic Ultra Long Wave include:

1) Penetrates our body to uproot the cause of sickness

2) Gives heat to the body and stimulate the metabolism of cells.

3) Improve blood circulation by vibrating the red blood cells

4) Stimulates the synthesis of new and old cells. It improves body’s immune system.

5) Improve healing process together with intake of medicine.

6) Take care of kidneys and enhance hormone excretion

Ultra Long Wave Magnetic Therapy enhances the cell’s immunization against radiation. For more than ten years, Magnetic Therapy has been used to improve patients suffering from high blood pressure, apoplexy, heart diseases, asthma, unstable hormone secretion and fractured bones. Today Magnetic Ultra Long Wave can be used for almost any ailment.

This type of therapy does not produce any side effect. On the other hand, one may feel the following after receiving this therapy:

1) Feel refreshed with active metabolism

2) Adequate blood circulation and ample oxygen

3) Fights fatigue and improve body immune system

4) Clears discomforts such as headaches and phlegm

5) More stamina, better concentration and healthier body

Professor Ouchi of Taiwan National University, Dr Tulai and Pohtolei, lab biologist of New York University and Showa University of Japan, found that Ultra Long Wave Magnetic Therapy produces amazing results. They used this therapy on their patients with chronic diseases.

Acne scars can be treated, but it can be difficult. Actually, until recently, most would say it was impossible. However, modern medicine has developed treatments that effectively treat acne scars and give acne patients the clear, beautiful skin they’ve always desired.

Prior to Your Scar Removal Treatment

Before starting an acne scar removal treatment, your skin must be free of any remaining acne lesions. Your doctor will discuss your options with you based on the type of acne scarring you have and how severe it is. There are a few different types of acne scarring, each requiring different methods of treatment, so this pre-treatment consultation is vital to be sure your doctor can assess your situation and that you’re aware of how the treatment will proceed.

Dermabrasion for Scar Removal

Among the types of acne scar treatments, dermabrasion was the first to be developed. It removes damaged skin, allowing the body to repair itself with fresh new layers of skin in its place. This is typically a pretty quick procedure, perhaps taking an hour or so, and performed in the dermatologist’s office. Afterwards, most patients report excellent results.

Laser Resurfacing for Scar Removal

Laser resurfacing is another type of acne scar removal treatment during which a laser is used to remove damaged skin. Unfortunately, this procedure is so new that there aren’t many studies to pull from to evaluate the results or long-term effects. However, those that are available indicate that the power in this procedure is the fact that the laser actually penetrates several layers of skin, making it more effective at removing acne scars. This is also about a one hour treatment, though for smaller areas it can take just minutes. Although it is still a new procedure, laser resurfacing is becoming one of the most popular acne scar removal treatments.

Deciding Which Scar Removal Treatment Is Right for You

If you’re interested in looking into your options for acne scar removal, it would be a good idea to speak with your doctor to see which method might be best for you. You can also do research online to get more information on the various techniques, their effectiveness and expected results. But whichever option you choose, acne scar removal can give you the look you’ve been hoping for and finally get rid of those last remnants of acne outbreaks from long ago.

FACT: Acne affects 90% of people worldwide. Why are some people able to stop acne dead in its tracks while others continue to suffer? Discover how you can quickly and easily find more information on
