Then came the cards. Depending on the fad diet you were following you might have had colored cards (eat 5 green item cards and 2 blue) today or you were moving cards from the right side of the book to the left side of the book and when you ran out of cards you simply stopped eating for the day.    

In the 1990′s the fad was the weight loss clinic. Every “counselor” was more like a sales person that was concerned on how long it would take you to lose weight and based your cost on time not real progress. So for 100 pounds of weight loss it would take you 1 year and $2300. Then you got a book of approved foods and were told to keep a journal that would come in with you once a week for 52 weeks where you would be weighed and your journal evaluated. Sounds a lot like the “meeting” only the person behind the desk wore scrubs and seemed a bit more official.  

For the 2010 era, the newest craze is to use a nutritional tracker that can monitor your progress, offer tips and suggestions, and personalized nutritional plans according to the foods you like, coaching, even a fitness buddy, and all with the ease of being able to access it from your phone or computer. No group meetings, no need to trek anywhere to any clinics. No colored cards, no embarrassing weigh-ins. You are safe in your own home (or via phone wherever you go) and for a small fraction of the costs associated with the precious weight loss fads.

The following are some Team Fitness America reasons that nutritional tracking works quicker and more efficiently rather than using any of the methods listed above:

Back then:  You had to trek to the nearest “weight loss clinic” and meet with a young sales person that called themselves a weight loss counselor. They handed you a mini book of “approved foods”‘ and stuck you on a scale. Now, you have privacy and choices with many more options.

Online nutritional programs: Weigh yourself in the comfort of your own home with no prying eyes. No group weigh-ins and no feeling belittled in front of a group of people. Choose your own foods, plug them into the nutritional tracker and it will give you menus, tips, and ideas while allowing you to track your calories with proper fat intake right before your eyes. Some of the programs even offer videos of food preparation so you can see how exactly to make a healthy meal.

Back then: You had cards that you moved from the left side of the portfolio to the right side and when all your cards were gone, you were done eating for the day. But what if you were still hungry? Tough!    

Online nutritional programs: Choices for food and how much based on your exercise outputs, weight, goals and body make up. Things that are different among us all are now taken into consideration. Now we know that not every person loses or gains weight at the same rate as the next person. We also know that each person may metabolize certain foods differently simply based on chemistry, past medical history and health conditions. With cards or mini books there is no way to discern any one person from the next person. With a customized, personalized online system you can see how different your food choices are from your friends and you both will benefit.      

Back then: A hardcopy journal that you better not lose or your “counselor” will not be happy.

Online Nutritional tracking: Now it is all electronic so you won’t lose the journal and you can make entries from any place discreetly. The dinner table, a restaurant, the office, the subway, or any place you choose and no one will know that you are counting calories like if you broke out the journal and a pen. Plus all of your information is stored electronically for ease of access and accountability. You can have a coach look at your information the same time you are to make suggestions, keep you motivated and provide all the educational tools you would need to understand how your metabolic rate affects your weight.

Back then: A monthly fee plus start up costs, all based on how much weight you plan to lose. This can be in the thousands depending on how long you plan to use the program.

Online Nutritional tracking: One set fee, or a small monthly fee depending on your level of service. So it is the same if you lose 10 or 100 pounds and it is very affordable even for a small budget.

The advent of the online nutritional tracker may just put the weight loss clinic out of business with more to offer, ease of access and comfort of access from your own home or any location. Long gone are the days of writing down your food intake calories in a journal and handing them to your personal trainer to review and make suggestions on what to add or delete form your daily food intake. Now you can plug it all into a computerized system, make changes as you need to and have a live representative review it on the spot.

When you couple the online nutritional tracking with a solid personal training program, like one at Team Fitness America, you will achieve maximum results in a fraction of the time it would take with a food program alone.

Osteoporosis is an important factor in consequences and disease states. It can occur due to the lack of calcium intake, weight bearing activities, and estrogen deficiency. This disease affects over 25 million American women and causes about 250,000 hip fractures a year. It is called a silent disease, which causes bone density to slowly decrease and fractures to develop (Alexander, 2004 p. 267). After age 30, bone resorption speeds up faster than bone replacement can take place. When a woman reaches menopause she will experience approximately 20% of bone loss within a five to seven-year period. After age 50, one in two women will experience osteoporosis related fractures, which may lead to disability, chronic pain, and even death (Alexander, 2004 p. 399). The economic cost is overwhelming and significant for osteoporosis. This is why it is important to properly select the main focus point of long-term prevention or acute care of osteoporosis. It has been a complex decision, which has been a growing issue for women worldwide. Some issues that each program must over come in order to be an affective long-term prevention or acute care program are services reaching proper target audiences, maintaining ethics, effective budget spending, eligible health care services, increasing insurance coverage and personal knowledge.

In long-term prevention, preventive education of osteoporosis was a strategic tool to overcome this disease. Promotional education has been aimed at the premenopausal phase of women’s lifecycle. This phase represents promoting nutritional facts to help build stronger bones, which are aimed at children and adolescents as a general target audience. This is based on research of early lifestyle changes that promotes optimal adult peak bone mass. The specific target audience is low income and high-risk applicants who met categorical, residential, income, and nutritional risk requirements.

There are several Federal agencies as well as non-profitable organizations, which maintain ethics by providing strict guidelines. This allows participants to experience uncompromised services such as health education, specialized services, and sometime financial support (Food and Nutrition Service United States Department of Agriculture [FNS-USDA] n.d.). Some examples of these agencies are Women Infant Children (WIC), Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP), U.S Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and National Dairy Council (NDC).

Another issue of concern is individual effective budget spending, which is measured through cost effective services. There are multitudes of diverse governmental and non-profit agencies that are operating jointly or individually in support of healthy lifestyles and stronger bones. The combination of overall promotional efforts is justified by a 50% decreased risk of osteoporosis, according to the Milk Pilot Study by the National Dairy Council (NDC, n.d.).

  Other issues such as eligible health care services and increasing insurance coverage are intertwining problems. In 2001, 41.2 million U.S. citizens were uninsured. There were a million more that had limited insurance coverage, which were restrictive and prevented necessary health care services (Alexander, 2004 p. 18). There are a growing number of 44 million uninsured citizens, which is partially due to the increasing elderly population (Connolly, 2000).  Affective long-term educational prevention should help decrease the massive amount of patients who are at need of medical assistance. This is due to reinforcing positive lifestyle changes to help prevent chronic illness. Defining and reducing additional risk factors to provide better prevention techniques such as avoiding high protein intake to avoid urinary calcium loss. Another prevention technique to reduce a risk factor is avoiding high fat intake to avoid reduced bone mineralization due to elevated needs of bisphosphonates for metabolic intermediates of cholesterol synthesis (Hegsted, 2001).

Personal knowledge of providing educational support allows us to overcome learning barriers that must be faced such as cultural differences and body image. Cultural background influences the ways adolescents think about things and interact with others.   It is important to consider the cultural aspects in order to break down social barriers and provide adequate behavior modification tools.  Especially when reviewing the many factors that contribute to an adolescent’s culture such as socioeconomic, educational, family, ethnic, and racial background (Conflict Research Consortium, n.d.). The other barrier is body image, where proper support of nutritional education and counseling becomes necessary for adolescents’ development. This becomes evident as self-perception traits become defined in the preteens. If they carry their negative association of dairy products into adulthood, their risk of osteoporosis will become great. Surveys indicate dairy products are considered to be calorie dense food items (Adolescent Health Committee & Canadian Pediatric Society, 2004). Negative self-perception contributes to low calcium intake, which in turn contributes to a decrease in adult peak bone mass (DHHS, n.d. & Teegarden, 1999).

 I have learned in this class that today’s adolescent development could lead to tomorrows growing issues of chronic problematic illness such as osteoporosis. I question the overall effectiveness of long-term educational prevention of osteoporosis. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, more than 25 million Americans have osteoporosis (DHHS, n.d.). 50% of patients with hip fractures will be considering long-term disabled. 25% of those patients will require long term-nursing facilities (The Bone and Joint Decade [BJD], 2004).  If National Osteoporosis Foundation was able to receive stronger Federal support to coordinate state agencies in joint, local, as well as national effort, the overall program will become effective. This is why it is important to properly select the main focus point towards long-term prevention.

Addressing the issues of effective osteoporosis therapy in an acute care setting is an ongoing process.  This type of health care service is always changing towards more efficient techniques. Currently doctors recommend healthy lifestyle of nutritional dense foods and weight bearing activities. They prescribe medication for bone resorption such as Fosamax and Calcitonin (Alexander, 2004 p. 403). They also prescribe hormone therapy such as Raloxifene, which reduces 50%-70% vertebral fractures (Alexander, 2004 p. 402).

Services reaching proper target audiences in the past were questionable. According to multinational study of orthopedic surgeons, 95% fracture patients were not properly screen for osteoporosis (BJD, 2004).   Another target audience that has been over looked were patients who were experiencing celiac disease. It is common for these individuals to be lactose intolerant as well, which puts them at risk of osteoporosis (American Academy of Family Physicians [AAFP], 2005). Screening is an important tool to reach, as well as confirm, proper target audience.  Currently, selecting patients for screening has drastically improved, making it possible to catch osteoporosis in the beginning stages. Individuals who are experiencing estrogen deficiency, vertebral abnormalities, long-term glucocorticoid therapy, or hyperparathyroidism can be properly screened (Albert Einstein Healthcare Network [AEHN], n.d.).

When maintaining ethics, there should be a clear path of treatment for patients.In the pastOrthopedists were not consistent in treatment or referrals. It was an experimental practice, which was vastly growing through trial and error. Medical decisions were made by doctors without long-term clinical research (BJD, 2004). Currently patients are being offered choices of preferred treatments. The diverse pharmacologic prevention consists of teriparatide, raloxifene, bisphosphonates, and salmon calcitonin. Bisphosphonates were recommended as the most effective pharmacologic prevention for osteoporosis (Wright, 2004). 

Effective budget spending of related osteoporosis costs were from admirable. In 1995, the cost of treating osteoporosis acute and long-term care was 13.8 billion American dollars. Currently more high-risk patients are experiencing early detection and treatment through advanced screening and medical attention. This will have a plausible influence on budget spending. The increasing number of geriatric needs will always be a growing challenge for effective budget spending (DHHS, n.d.). Eligible health care services and increasing insurance coverage were a challenge for people when faced with chronic diseases such as osteoporosis. Individuals often struggle to pay for appropriate treatment for long-term illness. Most people were forced to turn to Medicaid as a public insurance program (Alexander, 2004 p. 398). Currently conditions have been improving for patients with osteoporosis. According to National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF), Medicare will reimburse bone density tests such as DEXA scans. Due to the direct reimbursement of Medicare, insurance will be able to cover these types of testing, which allows for early detection of osteoporosis (AEHN, n.d.).

Personal knowledge of providing clinical research allows us to overcome barriers such as cultural differences and body image. Cultural differences could develop into issues for osteoporosis patients such as 54-year-old raw food vegetarians who are at high risk.  This is due to alternative dietary lifestyles of high fiber, low vitamin D and calcium intake.  Clinical research indicates lactovegetarians have decreased risk factors compared to raw food vegetarians. A transition from raw food vegetarianism to lactovegetarianism is smooth and advisable for individuals (Hitti, 2005). Another barrier is body image. In 1998 the Gallup poll found 59% of women ranging 35-49 years of age were on some kind of diet.  These diets are known as yo-yo diets, which are hazardous to your health. This is due to overall decreased food intake, which affects macronutrients as well as micronutrients.  This includes important needed items of the bone matrix such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, Vitamin K, and Vitamin D.  Another growing concern dealing with body image is individuals who are currently seeking weight loss through Bariatric surgery. This procedure pertains to a partial bypass of the duodenum, which is an important part of the small intestines. This causes a deficiency of calcium due to chronic malabsorptionand puts the patient at risk for osteoporosis. Clinical research indicates progressive atrophy of the unused duodenum, which stresses the importance of corrective surgery to prevent significant chronic damage (Strong Health Bariatric Surgery [SHBS], n.d.).   

I have learned in this class there could never be enough research in order to make a precise decision. This is why additional financial aid through governmental and non-profit agencies is greatly needed for proper clinical research. Completing additional research will make acute care for osteoporosis more affective.

In conclusion, acute osteoporosis therapy is dependent on long-term prevention success. This is due to promoting awareness and managing risk factors that are modifiable. These techniques have been proven to decrease a large demand on acute care.   This directly causes a decrease in potential target audience for acute care. Maintaining effective budget, providing eligible health care services, and available insurance coverage is easier when there are less demands due to decreased needs of medical services. Both programs are necessary in order to provide optimum health care of women nationally.

Gastrointestinal diseases often lead to discomfort while eating, also causing malabsorption and anorexia. Diseases like sepsis, trauma, and cancer may induce muscle wasting and weight loss due to altered nutrient utilization. Also, in conditions associated with critical illness or surgical mechanical trauma, delay in feeding can postpone recovery and further lead to bacterial translocation from the intestinal cells into the lymphatic circulation, causing complications like sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

Specialized nutritional support needs to be administered to maintain the nutritional status of the patient and to promote recovery. The most common specialized therapeutic nutritional systems are enteral and parenteral.

Enteral nutrition (commonly known as tube feeding) is suggested for patients whose gastrointestinal tract is functional and who have diminished oral nutrient intake. The nutrients are delivered directly to the gut by the use of naso-gastric, naso-duodenal or naso-jejunal tubes.

The feed can be given as a bolus (at one go), continuously, cyclically, or intermittently based on the patient’s requirement. The enteral feeds that are commonly used are homemade blenderised foods (low cost, especially used in developing countries) and other commercial feeds, which may be polymeric or elemental.

On the other hand, parenteral nutrition is used to feed a person intravenously (directly through the blood stream). It provides nutrients to the patients whose gastrointestinal tract is nonfunctional due to either interference in its continuity or because of its impaired absorptive capacity. Predigested elemental formulas containing salts, glucose, amino acids, lipids, and added vitamins and minerals are administered. The gastrointestinal tract is completely bypassed.

In some cases, parenteral feeding can also be combined with enteral feeding to meet the food requirements. When there is no food given by other routes it is termed as total parenteral nutrition (TPN). However, if these feeds are given for a very long duration, provided inappropriately, or without proper precautions, they may lead to severe adverse side-effects.

The 2 essentials of a weight loss nutrition plan

The resulting health issues were serious. At the time there was very little understanding of food nutrition and how to supply the body with everything it needs to function properly. It was thought that food was just energy, just like any mechanical engine needs fuel. There was no understanding of micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals, etc. They had limited knowledge of the complex nutritional needs of the human body and therefore health declined rapidly.

Defining the problem

Over the last few decades in particular we have become increasingly health conscious. The only problem is that a lot of what we are taught about nutrition is blatantly not true. With the discovery of micronutrients health has not got better, instead it has got worse. When vitamins and minerals were first discovered it was thought that they were the cure for the wide-spread health problems. The solution seemed simple, just add vitamins and minerals to our food.

Has it worked?
Since vitamins and minerals were discovered cancer rates have increase 75 years in a row! Obesity and diabetes have also increased dramatically.

Defining optimum nutrition and the 2 keys to good health

Optimum nutrition is simply where you give your body enough nutrients so that it is able to function at an optimal level.

The benefits of optimum nutrition include:

- Increased physical and mental performance
- Better moods
- Better sleep
- A longer, healthier life span
- etc…

The thing to understand is that everything that we do nutritionally nowadays is completely different to what it used to be like and this is a big problem. Even cooking food should not be a regular thing in your diet. Fire is a destructive force on nutrients and creates harmful substances. For millions of years before fire was discovered, everything was eaten raw.

1. Eat the majority of your foods raw

This is something that I have covered briefly in a previous post. All foods are at their most nutritious when eaten raw. The majority of your diet should be raw fruit and mainly vegetables. The nutritional quality of green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, etc is far higher than any other food.

2. Chew your foods well

When you eat your foods raw you need to chew them well. This is because chewing is the first step in the process of digestion. If you don’t chew your food well then a lot of nutrients will pass through undigested.

The main point here is that we are designed to eat certain types of food. Unfortunately a lot of these foods are replaced with alternatives that the body struggles to deal with. A lot of the symptoms that most people think are normal are strong indicators that something needs to change.

Our body I made up of chemical component such as water, proteins, lipids, DNA, and carbohrdrates. We neeed to take all the supllement in a proper and balance manner. When nutrition supplement is take in amounts greater than the recommmanded dietary allowance they will no longer will be nutrition and they will be considred as durgs.

Many people eat anything and anytime which is unknowly or knowly effect your health and diet which will result in health problems, over wieight and lazyness. Nutrition products are alawys fresh and well sealed and always make you feel better.

Currently, too many nutritional benefits are processed, cooked or fried out of what we eat, which leaves us little choice but to supplement our diet with nutrients such as vitamins and minerals to regain health and to stay healthy. If you add to this the pollution and other toxins you have to put up with, nutritional supplements become even more of a necessity

Once you give your body a hand by giving it proper fuel, such as a diet high in fruits and vegetables, along with a sensible set of nutritional supplements, you will soon notice a difference. Healthy food and good nutritional supplements will restore your engine to optimum working order. It will thrive and so will you. DO NOT self-medicate with large doses of vitamins, minerals, or other nutritional supplements without seeking medical advice.

Many of us start taking nutritional supplement with any advice on dietician which affect our body and which is realized by us. So be careful before you feel you need to take nutritional supplements, first discuss your concerns with your doctor, pharmacist, or other qualified health care professional, for example, a registered nurse or dietician.

No doubt the personal health and wellness of your senior loved one is important to you, but you don’t want them choking on vitamins that come in the form of pills. If this is the problem, then one ounce nutrition in liquid form may be just the thing that they need, and while it is definitely no traditional gift, it makes a very unique senior gift that will show that you care. The right supplement that comes in liquid form can help provide the important senior in your life with all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and fatty acids that they need as well. So you can provide your loved one with the nutrition that they need with the right supplement.

So, you may be wondering why a nutritional supplement is such a great unique senior gift. Believe it or not, today there are many people who are suffering from a variety of different health problems, especially seniors. Many people in America die from chronic diseases, almost a million people die of cardiovascular disease every year, and one of the top disabilities in the US is arthritis. One of the reasons that researchers believe that this is happening is because many Americans do not get all the important nutrients that are needed, especially older people. Even trying to eat the right foods may not help, since many foods being raised don’t have the minerals that are needed because of soil depletion. So, since most people are not getting what they need through food, a nutritional supplement is needed to give the body the needed vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients needed.

While studies show that most pill forms of supplements are not effectively absorbed by the body, with only about 10-20% being absorbed, there are liquid nutritional supplements that are available that have been proven to be 98% absorbed. This means that you get the nutritional supplements your body needs best when a liquid supplement is taken. Not only is this a great reason to consider a liquid nutritional supplement for the senior in your family, but it also takes away the difficult of swallowing a pill that so many older people deal with. So, these liquid supplements really do make a great unique senior gift for your loved ones.

Wondering what you can really gain from these liquid supplements. Well, they contain everything you need, including the essential minerals and vitamins your body needs, essential fatty acids, enzymes, and even 21 different amino acids. Even the dietary fiber that is needed is provided by these supplements. Liquid supplements are also easy to digest, and within a few minutes of taking them they are absorbed into the body, which saves a huge amount of energy on digestion.

Not only will you find that there are great general nutritional supplements available, but there are special supplements available that are particularly designed to help make sure you get the specific nutrients needed to keep your joints and bones in great health as well. These supplements are especially helpful to seniors, since they often tend to deal with bone degeneration and forms of arthritis. Usually these products contain calcium, chondroitin, and glucosamine, which all work together to improve bone and joint health. Other nutrients included in these supplements include Vitamin K1, magnesium, and Vitamin D-3. You can also find these supplements in liquid form for the best absorption as well. As people grow older, keeping cartilage, bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments health and strong are important, so a supplement that can keep these parts of the body healthy is quite important.

As you can see, there are many great reasons to purchase nutritional supplements, especially those that come in liquid form. They are filled with the nutrients that most people don’t get on a regular basis, and taking them can help to reduce the risk of serious diseases and other physical problems. If you have a loved one that is a senior and you are worried about their health, then consider giving them these supplements. No doubt it is a unique senior gift, but it is also a gift that can make a huge difference in their life. Just an ounce of the right liquid each day can drastically improve your life and the life of your loved ones, so if you want to keep your body in great health, consider a nutritional supplement for seniors and see what it can do for you.

As a brief explanation, it is regarded as an ancient and modern practice of attempting to get rid of impurities and pollutants from inside body tissues and fat stores.

Many alternative healthcare professionals and a fair amount from the mainstream side of healthcare believe that these impurities and toxins can be the trigger mechanism in many ongoing diseases in the world today. In fact, some believe all you have to do is look at the rising numbers of autoimmune diseases, arthritis, migraines autism and obesity and know something other than genetics is causing the startling rise with these statistics.

Nutritional Cleansing can do what dieting, fasting , and a colon cleanse can not, and that is remove these deep seeded pollutants and impurities from within the body, thus reducing free radical activity and allowing the body to be able to heal itself in the process! Powerful stuff indeed, as you think about the positive implications of it.

How to earn part time income this is ground-breaking science? It is really simple. Set yourself up a business that specializes in helping people lose weight that they are having a hard time with or helping people gain better vitality and well being.

Personally, I like the weight loss side of it because we all know people who are struggling with this issue. Once they have completed a nutritional cleanse and see the fat literally melt off they are blown away!

The secret behind the nutritional cleanse is that it is removing those trapped impurities from the body fat once they are gone there is now reason for the fat that was once serving as a protective mechanism to stay around so it literally melts off!

Important note: This is not a magic bullet! This is simply the use of a scientifically advanced revolutionary practice brought to modern day standards in terms of super high quality nutrition that the body is being given in order to create an environment by which it can reach a state of normal balance and start the healing process.

With so many people looking for a way to lose weight and also having a host of other health problems, this is being presented as an option for you to get yourself healthy and at the same time earn part time income by showing people the way to a healthier lifestyle.

I am writing this article because being in the field of health and nutrition, I personally know of many people who have drop some serious poundage and earn strong part time income to their bank account monthly from sharing information with people on the benefits of a nutritional cleanse.

In closing, I hear this question a lot regarding the nutritional cleanse and it goes something like this – “Who should do a nutritional cleansing?”

The answer is – Anybody who eats food to live, drink fluids for thirst and breathe air to oxygenate their blood should do nutritional cleansing and that is why there is a huge market and the wide-open opportunity to earn excellent part time income with this as a business.

Nutritional deficiencies can manifest themselves in a number of ways, including physical changes in hair, skin and nails, as well as changes in sleep, energy levels and the frequency or severity of headaches. Nutritional deficiencies can be the underlying cause of any number of conditions, or may be present without any major symptoms at all. Since nutritional deficiencies can be difficult to detect, it’s important to see your natural health care professional not only when you’re sick, but also for periodical follow-ups to ensure you’re in a state of optimal health.

Every day, your body is trying to share information with you about how it’s doing and what it needs (or needs to get away from) to stay healthy. Such communication is extremely valuable, and should be recognized and respected. By listening to your body, you may be able to identify a problem before it becomes more serious.

The key to balanced nutrition is not only in how much food we consume, but also the quality of the food that we eat. There are certain “powerhouse” foods that everyone could use more of to improve their nutritional profile. These are foods that have a high antioxidant (ORAC) value, including blueberries, red cabbage, cranberries, spinach, plums, prunes, avocados, rapini, kidney beans and pecans, to name a few. Adding a few of these foods to your regular diet is a great first step towards a more nutritionally balanced lifestyle.
