Couch potatoes beware, TV can kill

People Who Spend More Than 4 Hours A Day Watching TV Are At 46% Higher Risk Of Death: Oz Study

Sydney: People who spend more than four hours in front of the television each day have a far higher risk of dying early than those who limit their viewing, an Australian study said Tuesday. 
    Researchers from the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute in the state of Victoria tracked the lifestyle habits of 8,800 adults and found that each hour spent in front of the TV daily increased the risk of dying earlier from cardiovascular disease. 
    The study, published in 'Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association', found every hour in front of the TV was associated with an 11% increased risk of death from all causes, a 9% higher risk of cancer death, and an 18% increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) related death. 
    "Compared with people who watched less than two hours of television daily, those who watched more than four hours a day had a 46% higher risk of death from all causes and an 80% increased risk for CVD-related death," the researchers said in a statement. The researchers said this association held regardless of other independent and common cardiovascular disease risk factors, including smoking, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, unhealthy diet, excessive waist circumference, and leisure-time exercises. 
    Researcher David Dunstan said the study focused specifically on television watching but the findings suggest that any prolonged sedentary behaviour, such as sitting at a desk or in front of a computer, may pose a health risk. "The human body was designed to move, not sit for extended periods of time," said Dunstan, head of the institute's physical activity laboratory in the division of metabolism and obesity. 
    "Technological, social, and economic changes mean that people don't move their muscles as much as they used to — consequently the levels of energy expenditure as people go about their lives continue to shrink. 
    "For many people, on a daily basis they simply shift from one chair to another — from the chair in the car to the chair in the office to the chair in front of the television." 
    Dunstan said the findings applied not only to individuals who were overweight and obese, but also those of a healthy weight. "Even if someone has a healthy body weight, sitting for long periods of time still has an unhealthy influence on their blood sugar and blood fats," he said. REUTERS

SMALL SCREEN, BIG RISK? The findings apply not only to individuals who are overweight and obese, but also to those with healthy weight

Keep in mind these 10 simple and practical tips to prevent you from piling on the pounds

WEIGH TO GO

The holiday season spells indulgence. 

You starved yourself for months before the New Year's bash to fit into that slinky gown. But as the holidays draw closer you can't seem to resist the treats that are laid out at every party only to entice you. Help is at hand - Nutritionist Samreedhi Goel shares with you a few tricks of the trade that will help you keep your resolve, to some extent at least! 

1 
Go tighter and lighter: 
Pick out your dress in advance. And this time break away from the norm and dare to wear white. Darker colours tend to make you look slimmer. Go a step further and pick an outfit that shows off your curves. Merely investing in a light coloured, fitted outfit for New Year's Eve will make you more likely to watch what you eat prior to the party, if only to fit into that dress! 
2 
Dine before the do: Go semiloaded. Have a small high fibre snack like a soup and a salad or a plate of fruits before you go to the party. Snacking on high fibre foods will keep you fuller for longer and will prevent you from bingeing on high calorie foods at the party. 3 
Keep your diet under wraps: The minute you announce that you're on a diet, you will call attention to your eating habits. Chances are, people will tell you that you're eating way too little or that you can eat that chocolate pastry today and work it off tomorrow! So, try not to talk about your diet at all. It also helps to eat your food slowly so you don't finish way before the others. 4 
Can't keep a secret? Find a 
cheat buddy: If you are going to 
the party and are accompanied with a diet conscious friend/spouse make a pact to keep a watch on each other. See that each of you eats only a pre-decided number of starters and drinks. If the dessert seems too tempting, share it in a single plate. Each of you can motivate the other to stick to the 
plan. 
5 
Out of sight. Out of mind: 
Control where you are standing. If you are positioned close to the buffet table you will, in all probability, begin snacking on the food. Therefore try to pick a spot that's not too close to the buffet table. 
6 
Exercise your right: Use 
your right hand to hold on 
to a glass of a fresh fruit juice or just sparkling water and sip it slowly. If your dominant hand is busy you are less likely to fill up on the starters. 
7 
Toss the empties: Once you are done eating, don't hold on to the plate. The longer you stall getting rid of your plate, the more likely you are to go in for an extra helping even if you are no longer hungry. 8 
Treat yourself: When it comes to sweet treats, psychologists believe that the first three bites are all that's needed to be completely satisfied. So indulge your sweet tooth but stop at the third spoonful. 9 
Alternate the alcohol: Calories from alcohol are slower to burn off. Also alcohol slows down your metabolism and does not allow the absorption of vitamins and minerals. Every alcoholic beverage you drink, follow it up with a glass of water. This will help you pace yourself and keep you hydrated too. 10 
Don't starve 
post the party: Fasting 
the next day will not help you burn off the fat because when you deprive your body of essential nutrients you slow down your metabolic rate. Instead eat small sensible meals at regular intervals.

Study links body odour, confidence

Mumbai: Twenty nine-yearold engineer, Sanjay Sharma, worked to the best of his ability and tried to be on his best behaviour while dealing with colleagues and clients. Yet, each time he passed a co-worker's cubicle, he could see them suppress a squirm behind their smiles. The youth, whose superiors were all praise for his work, couldn't fathom his colleagues' behaviour.      One day, while flipping through a magazine, Sanjay chanced upon an article on body odour and suddenly everything fell into place. Sanjay started using a deodorant but couldn't be sure if his presence was a source of discomfort to those around him. This started affecting his confidence levels.  Sanjay, however, is not alone. A recent survey conducted by Centre for Health and Hygiene—an agency which works towards awareness of various health issues which are otherwise overlooked—has revealed that people with body odour are less confident. The survey was done on 800 people across Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore.  The survey revealed that 70% of people consider body odour a stigma, while 88% feel that it affects their confidence. "Many a time, people suffer from body odour not just because of lack of hygiene, but also due to increased metabolic rate, obesity or increased thyroid,'' said dermatologist Dr Satish Bhatia.  "In a humid city like Mumbai, fungal infections can cause body odour. Uncontrolled diabetes can also be a factor,'' said Dr Hemant Thacker, general practitioner, Jaslok Hospital. "But, it can be controlled."

PUTTING ON WEIGHT AT WORK?

BT tells you how to make sure that you don't let your office be the source of your weight problems You're working 12 hours a day at a stressful job, barely eating four meals and haven't lost an ounce. In fact, the weighing scale pointer tips further to the right every week! A recent study says that a worker in a sedentary career may end up with a      Body Mass Index 3.3 units higher than someone in a highly active job. But apart from the fact that you don't have much activity in your daily routine, there are several reasons why you are piling on the pounds:  You skip breakfast:  You have to get to work on time and you didn't turn in early last night. All you can manage in the morning is taking a bath, dressing up and making a dash for work. But skipping breakfast isn't an option. It won't help you with your diet either because those who miss breakfast tend to overeat the rest of the day.Health tip: Opt for an easy-to-prepare breakfast like cornflakes and milk or a brown bread sandwich. Or order breakfast from the cafeteria at work.  You have a late lunch: With all those meetings, your lunch gets postponed. This causes weight gain because your body gets the message that you're starving it and so it creates reserves for you by storing the food you eat as fat.Health tip: Try to accommodate a half an hour lunch break into your schedule somewhere between 12 and 1 pm. Or arrange a working lunch with colleagues.  Your meal time is too short: You need at least 15 to 20 minutes to eat your meal after which your brain gives a signal that you're full. If your eating time is too short, your body will still be in hunger mode and you will binge later on.Health tip: Get to work a few minutes early so you can spare a little longer time for lunch.  Your meal is too heavy: If you're tired of the canteen food, it's not an excuse to try out every new restaurant in town. Restaurants will do anything to make      their food tastier and couldn't care less about your weight. Health tip: FIf you've been eating out, try a healthy tiffin service for a change.  You drink one too many cups of coffee: By 4 pm you've started to feel drowsy after a heavy lunch and make a dash for the coffee machine. The caffeine may keep you awake but the sugar will only keep you from losing weight. Health tip: Often, lethargy and tiredness is caused due to lack of water. Make sure you have a bottle of water on your desk the moment you switch on your computer. The more water you drink, the less coffee you will need.      TNN (Above) Eat a healthy breakfast so that you don't binge during lunch. (Right) Caffeine may keep you awake but the sugar will only keep you from losing weight

LIVER DAMAGE:Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.

The main causes of liver damage are:
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are the main cause. 
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener. 
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit. 
8. Consuming overly done foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store. 

We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our body to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule.' 


Because: Evening at 9 - 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (de-toxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on her health. 


Evening at 11pm - 1am : The de-toxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state. Early morning 1 - 3am : de-toxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state. 

Early morning 3 - 5am : de-toxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the de-toxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process. 
Morning 5 - 7am : de-toxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.


Morning 7 - 9am : Absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 -10am rather than no meal at all. Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. 

Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.
