The cool way to fight Fat

CoolSculpting: Fat removal by freezing

This year has seen some really exciting developments in the field of non-invasive weight, beauty and age management. Of these breakthroughs, the Zeltiq (pronounced Zel-teek) CoolTouch or CoolSculpting procedure is one of the most thrilling, because it is so completely different. Until now, procedures for fat removal have focused on melting, bombarding and sucking _ then came CoolTouch.



Where did it come from?

Two years ago, doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital noticed that a technique _ originally designed to cool the skin before undergoing other dermatological procedures _ was actually having a profound effect in itself.

They saw that by precise and controlled cooling, fat cells are destroyed without injuring the skin or surrounding tissue _ as with invasive procedures like liposuction. Read more...

Testosterone May Make Women Less Trusting

(HealthDay News) -- It turns out that testosterone might be responsible for more than masculinity and Hollywood action movies: A new study suggests that women who get doses of the hormone are less trusting of strangers, a possible sign that testosterone boosts levels of caution.

The research doesn't prove a direct connection between testosterone, which is found in both sexes. But it does appear to indicate that the hormone helps reduce trust in women and, "in our opinion, protects them from harm," said study co-author Jack van Honk, a psychologist at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.

The overall role of testosterone in the body remains something of a mystery. "We don't know a lot, to be completely honest," said Paola Sapienza, a professor of finance at Northwestern University who studies testosterone and how it affects decision-making. The hormone seems to be connected to aggression, she said, but "nobody really knows the mechanism by which testosterone changes behavior."

To make matters more complicated in the world of science, it's less clear what it does to women, she said, and there have been relatively few studies into testosterone's effects on them. Read more...

Doctor launches revolutionary continuing education program

In order to keep their medical licenses, doctors are required to participate in periodic continuing education programs to stay abreast of current medical knowledge. But most of these programs are funded by pharmaceutical companies, which means the curriculum is often little more than disguised marketing for drugs and medical devices. So Dr. Martin Samuels, a neurologist at Harvard Medical School, has decided to launch a new continuing medical education (CME) company that receives no funding from drug companies.

After recently being invited to yet another drug company-funded conference at a fancy steakhouse, Dr .Samuels decided that enough was enough. He told reporters at The Boston Globe that the class--and other classes like it--are "subtle marketing" rather than actual education, and that he would not be attending it. Read more...

Pumpkin May Fight Yeast Infections

(HealthDay News) -- As you carve your Halloween jack-o-lantern, consider this new finding: That pumpkin holds potential as a treatment for yeast infections in adults and babies.

Korean researchers, reporting online recently in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, examined whether proteins extracted from pumpkin rinds might stop yeast-infection fungus from growing.

Pumpkins have long been used as folk medicine in some regions of the world, and researchers have suggested they might have antibiotic powers.

In the laboratory, one of the proteins stopped the growth of a fungus called Candida albicans that causes vaginal yeast infections, diaper rash and other conditions. No side effects were evident.

The researchers report that the protein found in pumpkins could hold promise as a treatment for people and also help fight fungus that attacks crops. Read more...

Top soy-free protein bars

When it comes to finding the right protein bar to supplement a healthy lifestyle, it can be difficult to find one that is soy-free. Many health-conscious individuals have decided to skip the soy because, in its unfermented state, it mimics estrogen in the body. Excessive amounts of it, especially in men, can be detrimental to hormones and ultimately to health. Aside from organic, most conventional soy is also genetically-modified (GMO), which causes health problems of its own.However finding premium quality, soy-free protein bars can be a challenge since many of the ones available on the market tend to contain protein that is at least partially composed of soy, if not entirely. So where can one find a soy-free protein bar that is both nutritious and delicious? Read more...
