FDA: HCG Weight Loss Products are Dangerous
Weight loss seekers, listen up: Today the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) issued a warning stating that HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), a hormone found in some weight loss products, could be very dangerous, not to mention ineffective and illegal as well.
HCG is found naturally in pregnant women’s urine, and has been touted as the active ingredient in a variety of over-the-counter weight loss products that are offered in the form of sprays, tablets and oral droplets.
Seven HCG weight loss product companies, all of whom have received warning letters from the FDA and the FTC (Federal Trade Commission), sell over-the-counter products containing HCG, advertising them as “natural” metabolism boosters.

Eating Fish May Help Prevent Alzheimer’s, Study Suggests
If you enjoy eating fish on a regular basis, you will be happy to know that you are already eating a natural whole food that prevents alzheimers, and are actively taking steps towards preventing the onset of Alzheimer’s disease altogether, a new study suggests.
Fish has long been considered a “brain food,” or a food whose consumption naturally improves brain functionality. However, until recently, there was a lack of clinical scientific evidence to conclusively prove that this was indeed true.
In fact, the aforementioned study presented recently in Chicago at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America was the first to determine how eating fish might change the brain’s structure.

8 Ways to Battle Sugar Cravings this Holiday Season
With the holiday season fully upon us, the upcoming months will be filled with the temptations of sugary desserts, bars, candies and cookies. For many weight loss seekers and health-conscious individuals, this can spell trouble.
If you start letting go of your dietary regimen during the holiday season, the trend may very well continue into the following year, potentially erasing any fitness gains you have been able to achieve in previous months.
Likewise, you will want to regularly perform your exercise routine with as much consistency as you were able to in prior months. Even more importantly, is the necessity that you equally ensure that both your nutritional dietary regime and your exercise routine stay on track and as scheduled.
Certain Apple and Grape Juices Contain Harmful Arsenic
With so many food and beverage manufacturers to choose from, it is important for health conscience parents to take the time to thoroughly read the food labels to determine if the ingredients meet their health guidelines and criteria.
In addition, it is also important to, at least marginally, understand the various manufacturing processes that the food or beverage product undergoes, from the initial growing and harvesting steps to the final packaging process.
When many parents choose a healthy drink to feed to their young children, they often reach for the nearest bottle of apple or grape juice. Unfortunately, a recent study conducted by Consumer Reports indicates that some samples from manufacturers of apple and grape juices contain harmful arsenic levels.
Arsenic is a compound that has been proven to increase the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Arsenic in juice brands like Gerber, Gold Emblem, and Mott’s have been shown to be at levels that are considered to be dangerous, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Are Morning Snacks Ruining Your Weight Loss Efforts?
With so many individuals, from adolescents to the elderly, either overweight or obese in today’s society, it’s no wonder that there is no shortage of “so called” expert advise on how to safely and effectively lose excess body weight.
With so many approaches being touted as the latest and greatest way to lose weight, how is an individual to determine what they believe to be the best approach?
For example, there is a difference in weight loss approach where some individuals recommend regularly consuming three square meals per day, while others say that you will better stabilize your blood sugar level, feel less hungry and ultimately lose more weight by grazing, defined as consistently eating six smaller meals throughout the day.
Additional examples include differences in what types of foods should be consumed when trying to lose weight and should individuals looking to lose weight eat breakfast – and to top it off, now there is a new study that is suggesting that healthy morning snacks may reduce the effectiveness of your weight loss efforts.
