Bariatric Surgery Found to Lower Risk of Death
Obesity is on the rise, and so are associated health risks like diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and sleep apnea. Although once believed to be a risky and rare procedure, bariatric surgery is becoming a prevalent option for people who suffer from morbid obesity. Over 175,000 patients underwent bariatric surgery last year and the number is expected to grow this year. Although there are risks in undergoing these procedures, the surgery death rate has fallen over the years as the technique becomes more sophisticated and less invasive.

Remedy or Rip Off: Relacor
No doubt, a lot of us are stressed out, and a lot of us have unwanted belly fat.
But are the two linked?
And can an over the counter supplement called relacore help battle both problems at the same time?
The thinking is this: that stress causes a stress hormone called cortisol to be released, which in turn causes one to accumulate unwanted belly fat.
So, if you reduce the stress, you reduce the belly fat.
The question is, where’s the proof relacore can do any of that?
The relacore ad says, “Relacore, the feel good pill that helps reduce belly fat. Relacore, its easy.”
Sure, a pill is easy. (Read more about Remedy or Rip Off: Relacor)

Obesity and Weight Loss Surgery
Severe obesity is a chronic condition that is difficult to treat through diet and exercise alone. Bariatric surgery is one of the best options for people who are severely obese and cannot lose weight by traditional means or who suffer from serious obesity-related health problems. The surgery promotes weight loss by restricting food intake and, in some operations, interrupting the digestive process. As in other treatments for obesity, the best results are achieved with healthy eating behaviors and regular physical activity. (Read more about Obesity and Weight Loss Surgery)

Drinks and Diet
As the Fahrenheit soars during these dog days of summer, what better way to beat the heat than with a cool icy beverage. But, according to new research, while you’re quenching your thirst, you may also be gulping down hundreds of unwanted calories. Everything from that frosty coffee mint-mocha chip slurpie to that super-sized bottle of soda, can pack on unwanted pounds.
“Widespread consumption of soda is part of the American fabric and studies are showing us more and more that that is part of our obesity problem, both weight and gain and medical issues,” says nutrition and weight expert, Dr. Jana Klauer.
The World Health Organization recommends that people consume about 10 percent of their calories from liquids, yet, consumers are racking up more than 20 percent. For the millions of Americans who are trying to lose weight, the solution may be not in what you eat, but what you drink. (Read more about Drinks and Diet)

Gastric Banding
Millions of us are fighting the battle of the bulge. While diet and exercise work, for many it doesn’t cut it. But aggressive surgery is too much for most. This is really intended for those considered morbidly, or extremely obese, so much so it’s an immediate risk to one’s health.
Now, maybe, there’s something in between.
Ed Schauder has struggled for years with his weight…
It’s been a recurring cycle of failed diets. “Just about every single one of them, slim fast, weigh watchers,” says Ed.
And when he hit his forties, he realized, he was in trouble.
“I probably was more than 370 pounds when I first cam here in May of 2005. I couldn’t register on the scale,” says Ed. (Read more about Gastric Banding)

New GERD Procedure
For Julie Bayley there’s nothing better than cooking up an exotic home cooked meal and pairing it with the perfect bottle of wine. But, Julie says that for years her epicurean indulgences left her paying the price…unrelenting vicious heartburn. “It is like a river of lava coming up into your throat and just burning relentlessly and at the same time that is happening there is this pressure on your chest, it is just unbelievable pain,” says Julie.
Julie suffers from GERD…gastroesophageal reflux disease. This chronic reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus is often due to a weakening of tissues that make up the valve-like barrier between the esophagus and stomach. Most GERD patients have abnormal functioning of this valve allowing stomach contents to flow freely into the esophagus causing severe heartburn. (Read more about New GERD Procedure)

Women, Obesity Rates, and the Fountain of Youth
The fattening of America is so out there, so obvious, the question has become how do we get the message that we need to reverse the trend?
Perhaps, the message is sinking in, at least among women.
New research released by the CDC shows, among women, no significant increase in obesity was observed between 1999 and 2004…roughly a third of females remain obese (Read more about Women, Obesity Rates, and the Fountain of Youth)

This is one of those studies that makes people wonder whether time and money haven’t been invested in deducing the obvious.
What makes the study important is that the research comes out of a comprehensive survey of obesity trends in a community over decades. The message is very clear- most of us are headed down a fattening road of destruction to our health. (Read more about Fat Study)
