Choosing Healthy Fats for Your Daily Diet

Monday, April 15th, 2013 by GDSEO

Whether you’re grocery shopping or sitting in line at your favorite drive-thru, making healthy eating choices is important.  While you might not have the time to sift through the nutritional information at lunchtime, there are several options to ensuring that your nutrient intake is far above a greasy cheeseburger.

America suffers greatly from obesity.  Dr. Frenzel is dedicated to informing and educating clients on healthy eating alternatives.  When you go to plan your meals, hint, hint, you should look for healthy fats.  You heard me right—your body needs certain fats.  But, in today’s society it’s not uncommon to only eat unhealthy fats at every meal.

To save you some extra pounds as summer approaches, here are some tips on how to choose the best fats for you.  There are two basic fats: unsaturated and saturated.

Dietary fats come from plants and animals.  Along with carbohydrates and protein, this macronutrient gives you energy.  Keep in mind, dietary fat.  Because fat is crucial in supporting bodily functioning, it’s important that you receive some in your daily meals.

However, don’t let this become an excuse to binge.  Like most foods, there is a pro and a con.  The con is that if not eaten proportionately, dietary fat can cause cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

Saturated fat is harmful to the body as it raises your blood cholesterol levels and your low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.  As scientific as it sounds, the main point is that if overconsumption takes place, saturated fat can cause cardiovascular disease.

Trans fat are most common in processed foods and is made through partial hydrogenation of unsaturated fats.  The goal of the food industry is to create processed foods that will not spoil and will make cooking easier for you.  Unfortunately, these foods are not healthy choices.  Trans fats are synthetic and can increase unhealthy LDL cholesterol while lowering healthy HDL cholesterol.

Trade in the unhealthy fats for healthier alternatives such as monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat.

Monounsaturated fat is found in oils and many foods.  By eating this healthy fat, blood cholesterol levels improve.  Polyunsaturated fat also improves blood cholesterol levels.  This healthy fat, omega-3-fatty acids, can be found if fish.  Protecting against irregular heartbeats, lowering blood pressure levels, and decreasing the risk of type 2 diabetes, healthy dietary fats are a much better alternative to saturated fats.

Eating healthy doesn’t happen over night.  A lot of planning and research is necessary until you’ve learned the differences and know what to look for.  If you are trying to improve your nutritional intake, begin by choosing healthier fats.  Change your diet to include fish, plants, and fruits and vegetables.  Substitute the French fries for fruit or veggies and enjoy the energy that comes along with healthy eating.

Looking at the nutritional information before each meal can really help you begin to learn healthy foods to consume.  Take time each week to plan out your meals for the week.  That way, you know exactly what you’ll consume and how healthy it is.

Incredible Abdominal Exercises for a Toned Silhouette

Monday, April 1st, 2013 by GDSEO

Woman across the country are looking for ways to lose weight and tone up before summer sets in.  Great news, ladies!  If you’re looking for killer abs that make men blush, keep reading.  From basic plank to lunges, your body will get the best workout, all in the comfort of your home.

This summer won’t be filled with cover-ups.  No, you’ll be sporting your bikini every chance you get.  Get ready for an intense workout that will leave your body sore and ready for more.

There are eight basic moves that will give you a complete abdominal workout.  Begin with a basic plank.  This is the first exercise of four.  After three weeks, you will be ready to complete the last four exercises.

Hold plank for at least 30 seconds, but try to keep the position for as long as your body can bear.  Once you complete the first exercise, rest for 30 seconds.  Then, move on to side plank.  Again, you’ll follow the same timing for plank, rest, and then move the your other side.

After side plank, rest for 30 seconds and begin the third exercise-glute bridge march.  This exercise works out your abdominal muscles and your buttocks.  And finally, move to the fourth exercise, a lunge with rotation.

Once you’ve completed the circuit, which is comprised of the four exercises with five repetitions of each exercise, rest for one minute, and begin again.  Do at least three sets of each exercise.

As your progress, make sure to intensify your workout.  That means, for week two, hold plank for at least one minute and up your repetitions to six.

For all of your exercises, you want to train on three non-consecutive days.  This will allow for the breakdown and rebuild of your muscles to the fullest extent.  It’s important that you complete each exercise with precision.  If you train improperly, you can do much more damage than good.

The next four exercises can begin on week four.  Begin with plank with an arm lift.  This exercise will not only intensity the ab workout, but will also test your balance.  Tune in to your workout and avoid distractions.

Rest for 30 seconds in between exercises.  The second exercise in this circuit is side plank with a rotation.  Again, this requires balance and focus.  Next, move on to the hip and thigh raise.  This exercise requires you to alternate legs, meaning double the workout.

Finally, end with a reverse lunge with a single-arm press.  Again, this exercise requires alternating arms.  As you progress through each week, increase your maximum effort and your repetitions.  At week six, you should be at 90 seconds for your maximum effort and completing at least 10 repetitions.

These exercises are designed to build endurance and give you tight abdominal muscles.  When you’re finished, you’ll be begging for a bikini.  Enjoy your workout, focus on the positions you need to hit, and make sure you rest in between.  In six weeks, you’ll love your body.

To Tone or Not to Tone

Friday, March 15th, 2013 by GDSEO

While each person wakes up and looks in the mirror, self-confidence and self-image reflects something different for different people.  Whether you want to see a flat stomach or defined abs makes all the difference.  If you’re looking to sculpt your body, here are some tips you may want to consider.

There is a difference between being toned and bulking up.  While you might want a flat stomach, you may not want to have abs of steel.  And while some find joy in protruding biceps, others simply want to be toned and tight.  Here is the difference between muscle tone and muscle mass.

To tone up your body simply means to become leaner.  To be toned, you want to be tight, which inevitably means you must lose fat and add muscle.  However, the amount of muscle mass added makes the difference between being toned and bulking up.  Toning up is the end result of exercising and dieting.  You combine losing fat and building muscle to end up with a toned, tight body.

Bulking up, however, is much different.  Have you ever seen the Hulk?  Hulk Hogan or the superhero, your choice.  Both are examples of men, or action heroes, who have bulked up.  This means that past the toned stage, once you’ve lost the necessary amount of fat and have a tight body, you continue to build muscle.  If you’re looking for more examples of the two, consider football players as those who have bulked up and aerobics instructors as those who are toned.

When exercising, it’s important to have a goal in mind.  The way you want to look in the long run will determine how you will look in the long run.  A long standing myth of toning is to do a couple of sets of many repetitions.  However, using lighter weights is not better than heavy weights.  No, you won’t become a Hulk overnight, but using heavier weights and doing fewer repetitions until you’re fatigued helps you to build the strength of your muscles, increase your metabolism, and burn fat.

If, however, you think that lifting light weights is ineffective, you might be surprised to learn that light weights can add muscle to your body.  Time is a huge factor in using light weights.  If you have plenty of time to spare, the way to gain muscle with light weights is to complete as many repetitions as possible until you reach fatigue.  You can accomplish the same goal with heavier weights and fewer repetitions, though.  So you can choose your method of muscle gain.

It’s important to find a strength-training plan that challenges you without hurting you.  Men and women are genetically built differently, but that doesn’t mean that women should suffice for five pound weights.  Lifting heavier weights does not mean you will end up with a bodybuilder shape.  Find a strength-training plan and enjoy your time in the gym.  Whether you’re looking to tone up or bulk up, focus on good technique and balance.

Finding Healthy Foods on Vacation

Friday, March 1st, 2013 by GDSEO

When you take a vacation, you want to enjoy every aspect of your break.  From experiencing a new culture to finding the local hotspots, the true challenge of your dieting and exercise will be whether you can find healthy foods to eat while on vacation.

While you might want a well-rounded break during your vacation, it’s crucial that you keep a consistent, healthy diet.  Instead of sticking to the normal diets you feed your body at home, look for fun ways to incorporate different cultures in your adventures.

Here are some tips for eating right on your vacation.  First of all, you want to plan ahead.  Check out your destination online and look for the different restaurants near the hotel as well as local restaurants you’re interested in trying out.  Look at their menus and see if the foods offered will meet your healthy standards.

If you decide against spending time on planning foods, let the concierge be your eyes.  Ask the concierge to see if chefs in the surrounding restaurants can accommodate a healthy lifestyle.  From whole foods to whole grains, be general, but make sure it’s healthy!  During your vacation, spend time trying new things.  Restricting your chef to your daily routine isn’t the way to “vaca.”  Step out and look for new healthy meals.

If you can’t call the concierge, there are basic healthy rules you can live by.  Each meal, say goodbye to the bread and ask for a salad or vegetables.  Skip the appetizer and substitute it for a side veggie.  For your main course, ask the chef to skip the added butter and oils.  You don’t need the extra salt or sugar.  These small added ingredients cause a lot of additional calories.  Be brave in your outings.  Don’t choose a meal because you don’t see anything on the menu.  Ask about how each meal in prepared.  Avoid any food that is fried, crispy, sautéed, breaded, creamed, or drenched in Alfredo or cheese sauce.  Instead opt for steamed, charbroiled, grilled, roasted, stir-fried, or dipped in tomato sauce or marinara sauce.

Knowing the foods that you need to be healthy, you can go on vacation any day of the week.  Remember the key words and stick to the healthy foods.  If you go to a restaurant and don’t see any healthy options, make friends with the chef.  Ask for a healthy version of the dish of the day.  Use the good words, like steamed or grilled in your description.

When you’re in the airport waiting to board the plane, grab a healthy snack.  In most airports, you can find a sandwich shop or Starbucks.  Choose a nonfat milk or soymilk drink or opt for a wheat sandwich with healthy spreads.

Choosing healthy alternatives during your vacation can save you hundreds, if not thousands, of calories.  Remember to be courageous in your choices.  Build relationships, talk to the chef, request information from the concierge, and enjoy your vacation in every way.

New Procedure Can Double Breast Size with Grafted Body Fat

Monday, June 20th, 2011 by Newswriter

Doctors have developed a new fat grafting procedure that can double a patient’s breast size without the need for foreign implants. But it’s what happens in the weeks before the surgery that makes the difference.

The results of a new study published in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery indicate that the use of a bra-like vacuum device for several weeks before surgery can stretch and expand the breast tissue. When a patient enters the operation, her stretched breast tissue has more room for the fat, which is liposuctioned from another part of the body (usually the thigh) and grafted into the breast.

Fat grafting procedures don’t use foreign implants and often offer more natural and less risky results to breast augmentation patients. However, one of the biggest drawbacks of the procedure is that it usually can’t increase a patient’s breast by more than one cup size. Drs. Daniel Alexander Del Vecchio and Louis Paul Bucky, who authored the study, found that this problem could be overcome with pre-surgical breast expansion: “Pre-expansion to the breast allows for mega-volume (over 300 cc) grafting with reproducible, long lasting results that can be achieved in less than two hours.”

Study Highlights

  • 46 breasts belonging to 25 women
  • patients had first-time enhancement, implant removal, or deformity correction
  • average amount of fat transplanted was 300cc

Study Results (After 6 Months)

  • significant improvements in size
  • soft and natural appearance and feel
  • no cysts, masses, or other abnormalities found under MRI

The surgeons were able to perform a breast fat transfer procedure in less than two hours after some practice. No significant complications were reported.

More research is needed to determine what the long-term implications and safety concerns might be with fat transfer techniques such as this one. New procedures and techniques are constantly being developed, and women who may be considering full, natural breast enhancement in the near future will likely see an expanding range of options available to them.

Nasal Deviation Contributes to Depression

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011 by Newswriter

People who regularly feel depressed or anxious may be surprised to find that a deviated septum could be contributing to their unhappiness. A study published last month in the journal Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery reveals that nasal deviation can adversely affect a person’s quality of life and be a contributing factor in feelings of depression.

What is nasal deviation? It’s an irregularity in the septum, which is the bone and cartilage that separates the nasal passages and divides the nostrils. When the septum leans left or right, rather than lying symmetrically, it can block one of the air passages and cause a number of complaints, including nasal congestion, frequent nosebleeds, frequent sinus infections, headaches, and sleeping disorders such as snoring or sleep apnea.

How can this contribute to depression? According to the authors of the study, the nose, as a central facial feature, “strongly influences the facial appearance and social impression formation…. The body plays an important role in the self-concept, and body dissatisfaction may be associated with low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, depression and reduced quality of life.”

Previous studies have proven that certain negative personality traits have been associated with nasal deformities, and that patients even undergo changes after receiving a nasal deformity, becoming more introverted, immature, and more concerned about their self-images. Another study revealed that “psychological gender differences have been observed in candidates to rhinoplasty. Females with nasal deformities have been found to be egocentric, immature, impulsive, and perfectionists, while male candidates were stubborn, skeptical, pessimists, rigorous and perfectionists.”

Other studies have shown that candidates for rhinoplasty report lower-than-average mental health scores, and that psychologically stable patients typically experience “a reduction of anxiety and increase in self-esteem” after their rhinoplasties.
