5 Facts You MUST Understand if You Are Ever Going to Lose Your Belly Fat and Get Six Pack Abs

5 Facts You MUST Understand if You Are Ever Going to Lose Your Belly Fat and Get Six Pack Abs
1. Many so-called "health foods" are actually cleverly disguised junk foods that actually stimulate you to gain more belly fat... yet the diet food marketing industry continues to lie to you so they can maximize their profits.
2. Ab exercises like crunches, sit-ups, and ab machines are the LEAST effective method of getting flat six pack abs. We'll explore what types of exercises REALLY work in a minute.
3. Boring repetitive cardio exercise routines are NOT the best way to lose body fat and uncover those six pack abs. I'll show you the exact types of unique workouts that produce 10x better results below.
4. You DON'T need to waste your money on expensive "extreme fat burner" pills (that don't work) or other bogus supplements. A special class of natural foods is much more effective. I'll tell you about these natural foods and their powers below.
5. Ab belts, ab-rockers, ab-loungers, and other infomercial ab-gimmicks... they're all a complete waste of your time and money. Despite the misleading infomercials, the perfectly chiseled fitness models in the commercials did NOT get their perfect body by using that "ab contraption"... they got their perfect body through REAL workouts and REAL nutrition strategies. Again, you'll learn some of their secrets and what really works below.

DRUG TO PREVENT STROKE

A new blood-thinning drug could end the use of rat poison as a primary medical treatment to prevent stroke, it was claimed today.For half a century, thousands of patients at risk of stroke have been given warfarin to prevent blood clotting. But treatment with the drug, commonly used to kill vermin, is risky.Doses have to be carefully watched and adjusted to prevent excessive bleeding from cuts or stomach ulcers, requiring frequent clinic visits. Warfarin can also interact badly with other drugs and certain foods.The new drug, Pradaxa, works in a different way and is far safer. Patients taking the pill twice a day do not have to be constantly checked for signs of overdosing, and can eat what they like. Results from a major trial showed that Pradaxa was 34 per cent better at reducing the risk of stroke and blood clots in at-risk patients than well-controlled warfarin. More than 18,000 patients from 44 countries took part in the three-year RE-LY (randomised evaluation of long term anticoagulant therapy) trial, the largest of its kind ever conducted.Participants had an average age of 71 and all suffered from atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder that greatly increases the risk of stroke. They were randomly assigned to treatment either with Pradaxa or warfarin.The findings were published online in the New England Journal of Medicine.Professor Stuart Connolly, one of the leading investigators from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, said: "We now have an oral treatment which offers superior protection from stroke with less bleeding and without the need for routine monitoring."At present the drug is only licensed in the UK for the treatment of orthopaedic patients at risk of clotting after surgery. An application for permission to use it for the prevention of stroke is pending.

HYPOGLYCEMIA - LOW BLOOD SUGAR

Hypoglycemia, also called low blood sugar, occurs when your blood glucose (blood sugar) level drops too low to provide enough energy for your body's activities.

Normal blood glucose ranges (mg/dL)

Normal blood glucose levels in people who do not have diabetes
Upon waking (fasting) 70 to 110
After meals Less than 140

Hypoglycemia: A Side Effect of Diabetes Medications

· In people taking certain blood-glucose lowering medications, blood glucose can fall too low for a number of reasons:

· Meals or snacks that are too small, delayed, or skipped
· Excessive doses of insulin or some diabetes medications
· Increased activity or exercise
· Excessive drinking of alcohol
SYMPTOMS

· Sudden dizziness, shakiness, or mood change (even combativeness)
· Headache, confusion, difficulty paying attention
· Pale skin, sweating
· Hunger
· Clumsy, jerky movements
· Possible seizure
FIRST AID

· Talk to victim and confirm diabetes
· Give victim sugar: 3 glucose tablets, ½ cup fruit juice, 1 or 2 spoon (not non-sugar) sweetener, or 5-6 pieces of hard candy (unless choking is a risk)
· If victim still feels ill or has signs and symptoms after 15 minutes, give more sugar
· DO NOT Try to inject insulin or put food into an unresponsive victim!

APPENDIX

It has long been regarded as a potentially troublesome, redundant organ, but American researchers say they have discovered the true function of the appendix. The researchers say it acts as a safe house for good bacteria, which can be used to effectively reboot the gut following a bout of dysentery or cholera. The conventional wisdom is that the small pouch protruding from the first part of the large intestine is redundant and many people have their appendix removed and appear none the worse for it. Scientists from the Duke University Medical Centre in North Carolina say following a severe bout of cholera or dysentery, which can purge the gut of bacteria essential for digestion, the reserve good bacteria emerge from the appendix to take up the role. But Professor Bill Parker says the finding does not mean we should cling onto our appendices at all costs. "It's very important for people to understand that if their appendix gets inflamed, just because it has a function it does not mean they should try to keep it in," he said. "So it's sort of a fun thing that we've found, but we don't want it to cause any harm, we don't want people to say, "oh, my appendix has a function", so I'm not going to go to the doctor, I'm going to try to hang onto it." Attractive theoryNicholas Vardaxis, an associate professor in the Department of Medical Sciences at RMIT University, says the theory put forward by the Duke University scientists makes sense. "As an idea it's an attractive one, that perhaps it would be a nice place for these little bacteria to localise in, a little cul-de-sac away from everything else," he said. "The thing is that if we observe what's been happening through evolution, the higher on the evolutionary scale we are and the more omnivorous animals become, then the smaller and less important the appendix becomes and humans are a good example of that. "The actual normal flora bacteria within the appendix, as well within our gut, are the same, so we've lost all of those specialised bacteria. "So it doesn't have that safe house type of function anymore, I don't think. "It's a vestige of something that was there in previous incarnations, if you like." Koala appendixUnlike the human, the koala is famous for having a very long appendix. It is thought to aid digestion on a diet made up exclusively of eucalyptus leaves. Professor Vardaxis says that is not likely to change any time soon. "Unless of course we have a massive blight and we get the eucalypt on which the koala thrives dying, then we may find some mutant koalas out there perhaps that will start eating other things, and as they start to eat other things, then over generations and hundreds of thousands of years of time, then surely, yes, the koala's appendix will shrink as well," he said. Professor Vardaxis says it is possible that at that point, koalas might be afflicted by appendicitis and have to have it taken out at times
