Have you ever wondered why some healthy-looking people drop dead from a heart attack after exercise?
It’s never when they are exercising — it is when they stop and rest. It’s not the exercise that killed them, it’s the poor recovery time. Exercise is stress to the body, and a healthy body is supposed to adapt to stress and rebound or bounce back.
I’ve observed an interesting finding in our testing with many overweight people and even unhealthy thin people. Healthy people can adapt to stress and unhealthy people cannot. You could …

Spring is just around the corner. Are you thinking about losing a few pounds before you put on that swimsuit? There’s a program called “Targeted Weight Therapy,” created by Eric Berg from the Health and Wellness Center in Alexandria, Va. He has done extensive nutrition research.
Berg claims identifying “where” you gain your weight, based on your unique body structure and lifestyle can help you determine what to eat in order to burn more fat and shed pounds. The program is based on his book The 7 Principles of …

When damaged, the liver causes a potbelly appearance. This protruding abdomen is not necessarily fat — it could be fluid. If the liver is not functioning well, it can leak fluid into the stomach area within the abdomen. This characteristic is called ascites, which comes from the Greek askos, meaning bladder, belly or wineskin (animal skin used to hold wine).

Its distinct feature is feeling more awake in the morning but ready for bed at 8:00 p.m. The thyroid …

Fat cells also produce estrogen. Problems that can be caused by the ovaries include PMS (premenstrual syndrome), cravings at certain times of the month, bloating at certain times of the month, extra painful cramps and excessive menstrual bleeding, as well as depression during the menstrual cycle.

One of the main functions of the adrenal glands is countering stress by the production of several hormones. The adrenals don’t know the difference between physical and mental stress — they treat both with the same stress hormones.
The adrenals can overwork and underwork. Depending on the state they are in, you will experience different symptoms. I have frequently observed that a person will start with their adrenals in overdrive due to stress, then burn them out into an underworking adrenal situation. But it’s not always that cut and dried, as …

Could it be that the diet program you’re doing is the wrong one for your body?
When I first got married, I surprised my wife by making here an incredibly delicious desert. It was my first attempt and really didn’t have time to read all steps in the cookbook, which was a small omission, later turning into a huge disaster. I accidentally used baking soda instead of flour. As she took her first bite, I was all set be labeled as the ˜great cook’ but to my surprise, I was …
