Is Chocolate A Natural Appetite Suppressant?

August 7th, 2010

There are many different supposed appetite suppressants out there, all claiming to give you amazing results. And there are many who have started to talk about how effective chocolate can be. They have talked about all of the health and wellness benefits of chocolate, and of course, chocolate has been known as the “love drug” by some. But the question is, what can chocolate really do? And while there have been rumors about this, can chocolate really act as a natural appetite suppressant for those who use it properly?

With chocolate, we think about chocolate as chocolate bars. But what I am talking about and what everybody else is talking about is the chocolate bean, which does not taste nearly as good as the chocolate bars we think of. In fact, it has actually been said to be quite bitter. IT’s all of the milk, sugar, and other calories that make it taste good. But the pure chocolate bean can work as a natural appetite suppressant.

It has an ingredient known as phenylethylamine. Phenylethylamine is a natural appetite suppressant that happens to work by telling the brain that you are full. It has also been formally known as the “love drug” found in chocolate And when it comes to phenylethylamine, you could actually get a potentially powerful and effective, yet all natural approach that has even been compared to prescription Phentermine.


Dangers of ExtenZe

February 12th, 2010

ExtenZe is an extremely popular male enhancement supplement. It has been used for various things, and they have made various claims about its generalized efficacy. The only question is, does it actually work? Does ExtenZe actually come through on all of its claims to give you real and lasting results? Is ExtenZe worth spending your money on?

This being said, one has to wonder, how does ExtenZe work, and accordingly, what are the dangers thereof? Does ExtenZe balance out in general terms? The reality is that ExtenZe has some good ingredients. It has Korean ginseng, which may cause some caffeine related side effects. But it has also been known to increase blood flow to the penis, improve erections, and otherwise give you the effects you are looking for.

Likewise, they have other natural aphrodisiacs such as yohimbine and for that matter horny goat weed. So in so many ways, it can actually work to give you certain results. However, while I would say that the side effects of caffeine or other stimulants are acceptable and even necessary, in part depending on how sensitive to caffeine the individual is, there are some that are not.

When it comes to someone who is especially sensitive to caffeine, obviously it can be more dangerous and inconvenient to say the least for them than others. Likewise, there is the fact that ExtenZe has yohimbine, an ingredient that has been known to cause heart attack and stroke. So obviously, that is never acceptable no matter the individual circumstances.

This being said, with the fact that this product doesn’t have the amounts or otherwise the complete story required to show greater results, I would recommend looking into a product called Orexis. Orexis has all of the right ingredients, it has the right amounts, and while it still obviously has some stimulants to increase stamina and blood flow, it is still relatively safe. So I would definitely recommend it.


Fiber & Hemorrhoids

September 22nd, 2009

I seem to have accedently come across the simpelest way to add more fiber to my diet a get some relief from my hemorrhiods.  I am not a cerial fan.  I do not usually like to eat in because once the cerial get wet it starts getting soggy.  I do not like mush in my mouth.  My husband brought home some frosted spoon sized shredded wheat last week.  I got a little snacky one evening and out of desparity I tried it. 

It seemed to stay firm in the milk and I really liked the flavor.  I found myself eating a small bowl each day.  I finally figured out yesterday that my bowel movement have been more frequent and allot easier.  I use to go only once or twice a week.  I did not know until about a month ago that that was not normal.  I saw a program that said that people with normal bowel habits go several times a day.  Usually routienly after meals.  I was shocked.   Yesterday I acctually went three times.   I was normal.   Who would have ever known that somthing as simple as eating a bowel of cerial could do so much for my little proble.


Home Remedies For Hemorrhoids

September 19th, 2009

In my search for relief of hemorrhoids I have looked into one of my home healing books.    I have recently studied the Homeopath methods.  First I want to let you know that all the recommendations are the sixc strength.  The homeopaths recommind different substances for different cconditions.  If it is a situation that you feel like you are passing broken glass when you have a bowel movement it is suggested that you try ratanhia six c’s. 

If you are bruised and sore with a bursting felling when you go try Hamamelis six c’s.  If you feel like you have a ball in your rectum you should try sepia six c’s.  If they are hot, burning and itchy, usually after being hot try sulphur six c’s.   Another thought on the subject is from the Hydrotherapy train of thought.it says to put four drops of peppermint essential oil and two tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda to a bath and sit and soak in it. 

I think every one who has ever experience the problem of hemorrhoids had dealt with each of the feelings that I have indicated.  I think you get to the point that you will try anything to get help.    Hopefully the things I have suggest will help.  I am going to try it.


Hemorrhoid Breakouts

September 18th, 2009

Another round of those good old hemorrhoidflair ups.  Usually I know what I have done to cause my little problem.  But this time I am clueless.  I have not been eating a very bad diet.  In fact it is much better thantypical.   I have been active for the most part.  The only accepting was the seventeen hours I spent at the hospital with my daughter.  Well now that I think about it maybe there is a connection. 

While I was at the hospital I ate three meals.  Dinner, Breakfast, and Lunch.  For dinner I had a fried fish sandwich.  It was the best choice available for the late our in the cafeteria.  I ans a small order of fries with it.  I also had about three teaspoons of pudding.  Along with that I had a twenty four ounce Coke.  For breakfast I had two scrambled eggs, three slices of bacon, one slice of toast and a Coke. 

At lunch I had a fried chicken breast sandwich.  This time it was not the only choice available but I just plain wanted it.  I had another small order of fried and a Coke.  I have been drinking Coke as my beveridge of choice for the last four days.  I have been taking a glass of water to bed with me, drinking about half of the glass throughout the night.  Bingo, there it is.  The root of all my evils.


Preparation H For Hemorrhoids

September 17th, 2009

Hemorrhoid cream is not just for hemmi’s any more.  I found out years ago that preparation H was a good face cream for firming the skin.  It has recently been brought up in the beauty industry again as a new miracle trick.  Not so new and not a miracle.   Now I got an e mail from a fried of mine today about another use for preparation H.  It may not be new really, but it is the first time I have ever herd of it.  She was telling me that Preperation H is good to use on bug bites and stings.  Yet another use for the big H.  I suppose if you get a big bug bite on your butt you are really in luck.  Kill two birds with one tube.   

If your butt has allot of wrinkles on it its triple your luck.  You get to kill three birds with that one little tube.  I know it sounds silly I wonder if it would help stings like scorpion stings.  My son got stung by one in Gatlenburg  Tennessee and had nothing to help relieve it.   I was surprise to know that there were even scorpions there.  It was climbing up his shower curtain in a rustic cabin.  He was surprised to know that there were scorpions in Tennessee too.


High Fiber Diet Prevents Hemorrhoids

September 17th, 2009

Did you know that cultures were their diet in unrefined and high in fiber rarely see cases of people with hemorrhoids.  Eating a diet that is high in fiber and full of whole grains, fruit, vegetables and low in fats is the biggest reason why.  In order to prevent the problem of hemorrhoids this is the recommended diet.  Instead of the egg McMuffin and coffee from MacDonald’s try something on the leaner side.  Having a regular routing for bow movements can help also.   You should never try to hold it.  You should always go when you need to. 

Once you do have some of those little devils pop out use a soft bath room tissue or a moist wipe type of tissue to prevent irritating them.  Always wash and dry the area after each bowel movement.  It is advised to is cool water or a cool water spray to help alleviate any discomfort.  Avoid   extremely tight clothing that might pinch the area or cause discomfort.  Sitting for too long can be extremely uncomfortable.  It would be a good idea if you are traveling to get out of the car and walk a bit to relieve the pressure on them.  Occasionally on a trip it is a good idea when you stop for your little walk to go into a bath room and use a quick with hazel compress.


What Are Piles?

September 10th, 2009

I just read the hemorrhoids are also called piles.  The symptom description of Piles is a more accurate description of what really goes on than any other thing I have read.  Their description is pain and bleeding when having a bowel movement.  It also says soreness and itching around the anus and possibly a mucus discharge for the hemorrhoid.  Exactly!  I had no Idea that so many people had problems like this. 

I knew there were allot but not as many as the literature says.  The article says that piles effect fifty to seventy five percent of the people in the United States  It also says that it happens to more people as they age.  This information has some rather odd things to try for relief.  It suggests cutting a red potato into cigar shaped pieces and inserting it into the rectum.   It also recommends sitting on a cold bowl of water for relief. 

I suppose that bight be a little more tolerable than the ice packs that were previously recommended.  Another thing they suggest to reduce swelling and to soothe the area is a compress of witch hazel.  It suggests leaving it in place for as long as possible.  I might try two of the three, can you guess which one? It definitely does not include veggies.


Hemorrhoid Relief

September 10th, 2009

There is nothing that can help me today.   I need some relief  now.  I have tried all my old tricks and nothing has helped.   I have taken the laxatives and the stool softeners.  I am just waiting for them to work.  I hope they work soon.  The longer it takes the worse my little problem will be.  I finally was on the mend from last months attack and here I go again.  I have looked on the net for information but all the information is selling one product or the other.  I can’t use most of them.  I’m afraid of the others.   I think I will start those doctor recommended warm soaks tomorrow, before it gets too bad. 

The ice packs on the other hand, I don’t think so.  I am cold enough all the time with out putting the chill on there.   Te warm soaks might be nice to thaw out the rest of me.  I don’t understand it it is the middle of summer and I am a mom cycle.  I wear pants and socks all the time.  I always have a sheet or afghan when I sit down.  I even take an afghan to the movies.  I think if t wasn’t for my dog laying on my feet all the time they would snap off, they are so cold.   I just want to be comfortable.
