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!
