Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:48:42 -0400

At first it sounds like something out of some frustrated - and hungry! - dieter dream: you indulge in tasty, healthy food and the more you eat the more fat you lose! Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? However, there actually are foods that are scientifically proven to boost metabolism and help you burn excess body fat! Everybody will tell you that in order to lose weight you should burn more calories than you eat. That's a common sense and actually an effective way to lose weight in a shorter period of time. The problem is that many dieters take it too far. Maybe it sounds contra intuitively at first but it's a matter of fact that - to burn fat - you must eat sufficiently or you're risking crashing your metabolism! And that's what leads to dreaded yo-yo effect every "experienced" dieter knows well: after every "successful" diet the weight eventually comes back, often not only leaving you just where you've started but even with a few pounds extra! Your body will burn calories digesting whatever food you put in your mouth. **End Summary** Topics: metabolism boosting foods]]> foods that boost metabolism]]> food]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> More FREE metabolism boosters - http://metabolism-boosters.blogspot.com - waiting for you to discover!

Social Anxiety Disorder - What Is Social Phobia

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Social anxiety or social phobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by severe and persistent anxiety when in social situations, be it when interacting with others, or even only being observed. People suffering from social phobia fear of being amongst (unfamiliar) people, because they will feel under scrutiny and anxious of behaving in a way that might humiliate or embarrass them. People with social phobia are aware their fears are irrational and their anxiety over exaggerated, but apprehension will make them do whatever it takes to evade facing the feared situation. This greatly interferes with normal life activities of people suffering from social phobia. They will start avoiding all sorts of social situations - and when that proves inevitable, they will be extremely worried - sometimes for weeks in advance. This is called "anticipatory anxiety". When the dreaded event is over, they will continue worrying how they've appeared to others. Did they found them anxious, or strange, or...? This only increases the level of anticipatory anxiety they will feel the next time, and the vicious circle of social phobia continues... **End Summary** Topics: social phobia]]> social anxiety]]> social anxiety disorder]]> social phobia blog]]> social anxiety blog]]> social anxiety disorder blog]]> social phobia anxiety]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Social anxiety disorder - http://social-phobia-anxiety.blogspot.com - my social phobia blog.

Fri, 29 May 2009 00:00:00 -0400

So you've decided to do something with your extra weight and "go on a diet". You eat only from a restricted, bland-tasted assortment of "allowed" food, and in amounts insufficient to feed a rabbit. A very small rabbit. Your appetite, on the other hand, looks more like that of a famished elephant. You suffer. To your surprise, your weight keeps creeping up and up... You start to question yourself - are you really eating too much? Maybe you stuff your face while sleepwalking, or you're a split personality? Hmmmm... maybe:), but let's not go there:) Let me suggest something most unbelievable of it all: are you just eating - too little? If you want to stay fat, just keep on starving yourself. Your metabolism will slow down enough so that all you eat will go directly into that soft, pudgy stomach of yours! What a terrible fate! Okay, so you've heard of metabolism and you've seen for yourself that fad diets just don't work. But, what is exactly metabolism and what it has to do with weight loss?

Gender Selection Methods: An Overview

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0400

In ancient Greece, men used to have sex lying on their right side in hopes of conceiving a son. In medieval France, men would tie off their left testicle in order to produce a baby boy only. Sounds strange and unusual? Maybe, but the desire to choose gender of their baby is still strong among today's parents-to-be. They just don't want to rely on the same primitive (an ineffective) methods. Today, there are cutting edge technologies available which can literally allow parents to choose the gender of their baby. Sadly, one of those methods is - selective abortion. Mother can find out the gender of her baby using amniocentesis, and then decide to have an abortion if the sex of the baby turns out not to be what she have hoped to be. This gender selection method is most prevalent in those countries where, historically and culturally, boys were preferred. Fortunately, there are other options for parents eager to choose gender of their baby. None of them free of ethical considerations, though! In mid 1970's, geneticist Ronald Ericsson, PhD, developed the gender selection method that remains known as Ericsson method. **End Summary** Topics: gender selection]]> microsort]]> ericsson method]]> preimplantation genetic diagnosis]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> To find out what it takes to conceive a baby boy, go to How to conceive a boy - http://how-to-conceive-a-boy.blogspot.com - blog.

Thu, 29 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0500

Firstly, anybody who says that can guarantee you 100% that you will conceive a girl, and the procedure is not medically recognized, is either lying - or is misguided himself.

However, there are ways to sway your odds - somewhat - in favor of conceiving a baby girl, and they're fairly simple: 1. Remember the saying "You are what you eat"? Well, it seems what you eat can also have a determining effect on the gender of your unborn baby. To conceive a girl, you should be eating a diet rich in magnesium and low in sodium.

Oh, and you are officially granted permission to indulge yourself in sweets:) In a nutshell, that would be baby girl conceiving diet. 2.

Baby Girl Conceive Myths - Debunked!

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Have you ever been in a situation to ask (yourself, or someone supposedly knowledgable): 'How can I tell from early signs of pregnancy if it's a girl?', or anything along the lines of 'Is it true that I am having a baby girl if: my belly looks like a giant watermelon/I'm having terrible acne outbreaks/sooo craving sweets' etc. In that case, you must have noticed that there are a lot of so called old wives' tales concerning baby gender, and an equally large body of rumors floating around all claiming that can help you find out if you're carrying a so much wanted baby girl.

Real And Permanent Cure For Social Phobia

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

I’m sure you’ve heard the news already: it’s all over the blogosphere since BCC first broke the news. Yeah, this is about that nasal spray you sniff – and your social phobia is gone! If you haven’t heard about this “latest and greatest” social anxiety cure yet, let me regurgitate the news in brief. It all started when scientists from Zurich University found that people who inhaled the hormone called oxytocin continued to trust strangers even after they were cheated on. That discovery, they say, could lead to future treatments for social phobia. It didn’t take long for a long-sales-letter type websites to appear selling the new wonder drug: oxytocin. It has been called “the love hormone“, “the cuddle chemical”, "the mind reading hormone" and “the trust drug”. And for a reason. It’s the chemical that makes you feel what you’re feeling during an orgasm. It is also produced during labor and it’s responsible for the unique and unbreakable mother-child bond. When your brain is releasing oxytocin, you feel loved, relaxed and more open to trust – not only friends and lovers, but also strangers. **End Summary** Topics: social phobia]]> social anxiety]]> social anxiety disorder]]> social shyness]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Anita Bern is writing about her experiences with social phobia disorder at Social phobia anxiety blog.
