Yesterday we discussed the link between lack of sleep and obesity, here. And today we examine reports that poverty is linked to weight gain. Why does this matter? Being overweight puts one at risk for many diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer. Anything that helps us understand and perhaps counter relentlessly increasing obesity is important. And so, in this HealthDay News article via Forbes, we learn that poor, older teenagers are more likely to be overweight than their well-off counterparts. In a study that appears in the May 24/31 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, HealthDay News reports that being overweight was more than 50 percent more likely in older teens living below the poverty line, compared to those living above the poverty line. What did the study feel were the reasons for this striking difference in weight profiles between the poor and the more affluent: according to the article: physical inactivity, increasing consumption of sweetened beverages and skipping breakfast? Significantly, the study authors report that this link of obesity to poverty has emerged recently. In the '70s and '80s, there was no difference at all. “The researchers didn't find any significant difference in the prevalence of overweight in young teens (12-14) based on income levels. However, the difference was clear in older teens (15-17). The rate of overweight in older adolescents from poor.
If you have tried to quit smoking and failed, it's not your fault. Every method from cold turkey to the patch focus you mind on smoking and actually make you want to smoke more. They focus your head on your but and that can't be good. Now, you can get your life back, become a first class citizen again and never be looked down on again by simply finding out about hypnotherapy.
I have used hypnosis for many changes in my life and I recommend it as a great way to quit smoking Unlike other quitting aids, hypnosis gently programs your mind to stop wanting to smoke through easy and enjoyable relaxation and where the mind goes, the body willingly follows.
You won't be fighting your body that craves a smoke, you will have diverted your mind and body for a guaranteed cure. You won't need patches, gum or drugs like Chantix.
Once your mind decides you do not smoke and don't want to smoke, you will no longer be focused on cigarettes and smoking. You won't be focused on what you're missing, your mind will tell you that you just don't smoke any more.
There are a few things to look for in a hypnotherapist for this important work.
Check to make sure they offer a free session for analysis. The goal of this meeting is for you to be sure you trust the therapist and want to work with him/her. Also, the therapist will determine if you are a good candidate for hypnosis and if so, what triggers your need to smoke.
Some people smoke when they are lonely, some smoke when they drink coffee, some when they are on the phone, some when they are nervous. A good hypnotherapist will find out what your triggers are and work with your unconscious mind to eliminate the cravings. You will no longer associate the triggers with a desire to smoke. You won't be struggling to get through withdrawals; you just will not want to smoke.
Hypnosis also prevents weight gain and using food consumption to repalce cigarettes. If you don't want to gain weight as you stop the smoking habit, hypnosis can help.
Be sure too that the hypnotherapist has a guarantee. Many offer a "we won't quit until you do" guarantee that allows you to keep coming back as often as necessary for additional sessions at no additional charge for as long as it takes until you quit for good. That means you cannot fail with hypnosis unless you stop coming for sessions. It's a guaranteed solution that can not fail.
Good hypnotherapists customize their therapy to the triggers that make you crave cigarettes. The goals is to customize your sessions to eliminate cravings. They guarantee you will quit without withdrawal and they stay with you until you quit and get your life back.
Some practitioners of hypnosis average a 95% success rate compared to 5% for cold turkey and 15% for the patch. You will be a non smoker the first day you visit and they will stick with you as long as necessary until you succeed. Get your life back. Be proud of yourself again.
