The USDA recommends that our daily diet should include lots of grains and cereals. Those are at least three servings a day of whole gain breads, cereals, or and pastas.

Fruits are plenty of vitamins as well as phytochemicals which may possibly help prevent heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Avocado is a fruit which are relatively high in calories, rich in monounsaturated fat, vitamin B and fiber. Banana is also relatively high in calories, and you can add it to your morning cereal or desert like ice cream and pudding. You could also have a healthy and high calorie snack from dried fruits.

Teen Health: Too Much Exercise

Posted by drg Ardyan Gilang Rahmadhan On 9:10 PM 1 comments

Everyone knows that exercise could does many great things for your health. It can strengthen your heart and muscles, lower your body fat, and reduce your risk of many diseases. But, too much of a good thing doesn't always good for you.

Experts recommend that teens do some moderate to vigorous physical activity at least 60 minutes every day. Most young people exercise much less than this recommended amount (which also can be a problem for different reasons), but some people - such as athletes - do more than this recommended suggestion.

There are many reasons from young peoples by doing compulsive exercise. They are bombarded with images from advertisers of the ideal body: slim and thin for women; strong and muscular for men. To reach these goals, they sometimes develop eating disorder such as bulimia and anorexia. But some people who grow frustrated with the results from diets alone may overexercise to speed up weight loss.

To be healthy, your body needs exercise and activity. But, it also need rest. To much exercising could lead to injuries like fractures and muscle strains. Compulsive exercise, especially when it is combined with an eating disorder, can cause serious and permanent health problems, and in extreme cases, death.

How do you know that you have a compulsive exercise habit? Try to answer these questions below:
* force yourself to exercise, even if you don't feel well?
* prefer to exercise rather than being with friends?
* become very upset if you miss a workout?
* base the amount you exercise on how much you eat?
* have trouble sitting still because you think you're not burning calories?
* worry that you'll gain weight if you skip exercising for a day?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you may have a problem. Don't try to change your body into an unrealistically lean shape. Talk with your doctor, dietitian, coach, athletic trainer, or other adult about what a healthy body weight is for you and how to develop healthy eating and exercise habits.

Posted by drg Ardyan Gilang Rahmadhan On 12:17 AM 1 comments

A new study suggest that social stress may cause the body to deposit more fat in the abdomen. This condition could also increase the risk of heart disease.

According to principal investigator Carol A. Shively, a professor of pathology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, this findings could lead to new ways to combat rising rates of obesity.

In a Wake Forest news release she said that fat which is located in the abdomen behaves differently than fat in other location in your body. Too much fat in abdomen can have far more harmful effects on health.

This study was designed to see how social status affects the development of heart disease. And they found that social subordination causes the release of stress hormones that promote fat accumulation in the abdomen which could promotes the build-up of plaque in blood vessels that leads to heart disease, the leading cause of death worldwide.

Shively said the findings reinforce the wisdom of healthy eating, regular exercise and handling stress well.

Prevent the need for knee-replacement surgery by keeping your weight down through diet and exercise or maybe a weight-loss surgery. How it works? A new report in the August issue of Radiology said that being overweight or obese can cause rapid deterioration of the cartilage in the knee, leading to osteoarthritis.

The researchers were led by Dr. Frank W. Roeme, an adjunct associate professor at Boston University and co-director of the quantitative imaging center in the department of radiology at Boston University School of Medicine.

Roemer's team found that being overweight was associated with rapid cartilage loss. In fact, there are 11 percent of rapid cartilage loss chances for every one-unit increase in body mass index.

The association between obesity and rapid cartilage loss remained even after taking into account age, gender and ethnic background.

The main risk factors for cartilage loss were pre-existing cartilage damage, being overweight or obese, tears or other injury to the cartilage at the knee joint (meniscus), and severe lesions seen on an MRI. Also there are other factors such as inflammation of the membrane lining the joints and abnormal build-up of fluid in the joint, according to the report.

Roemer said, osteoarthritis is a disease without treatment at present other than symptomatic mostly pain therapy and surgical total joint replacement. And it is the most common musculoskeletal disorder with major health and socioeconomic impact in our aging society.
