			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you suffering from any form of chronic back pain? Looking for a cure for chronic back pain? Don’t put it down to “old age is catching up with me” and things like that. If you are suffering from some form of chronic back pain, there’s a great new book that I came across the internet that I would like to bring to your attention. </p>
<div id="attachment_886" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 260px"><a href="http://www.wilsonchia.com/recommend/losethebackpain.htm"><img class="size-full wp-image-886 " title="7daybackpaincurebook" src="http://www.wilsonchia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/7daybackpaincurebook.jpg" alt="7 Day Back Pain Cure" width="250" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">7 Day Back Pain Cure</p></div>
<p>It’s a booked called <span style="color: #000000;">&#8220;The 7-Day Back Pain Cure&#8221;. </span>Written by Jesse Cannone, recognized as one of the leading back pain relief experts in the world. </p>
<p>He is giving away FREE copies of this book, mind you, it’s not an Ebook but a real book for on sale on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. But don’t buy it because he’s giving it away on his website right now and all you have to do is to a small shipping fee for it. Not only that, a portion of your shipping fee will be donated to one of two great charities: Habitat for Humanity or St. Jude&#8217;s Children?s Hospital. You choose. </p>
<p>He has done a fantastic job by explaining what are the many things that causes back ache in this easy to read and understand book. It’s a real eye opener and at the end of the book, there’s a portion that I like most, the &#8220;7-Day Action Plans&#8221;. Based on your condition, you choose the action plan and follow the steps that&#8217;s best for you. If you are suffering from any form of back pain, I highly recommend you go grab yourself a free copy of the book now.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have back or neck pain, but you do know of someone who is suffering from some kind of chronic back pain symptoms, please be sure to forward this to them about this “cure for chronic back pain. I’m sure they&#8217;ll thank you greatly for this piece of information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Can Obesity shorten your life? That&#8217;s what we have been told and read about but I have been reading the news recently about how obesity can shorten your life by 10 years and the dangers associated with being obese. There&#8217;s also another contradictory article about Being Slim is not in!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Being obese in some cases can be a</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">s bad as smoking, so should obese smokers forget about quitting altogether!? I read about how the obese </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">are also more likely to develop diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc as age catches up. <strong><a href="http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/health/display.var.2496105.0.obesity_can_shorten_your_life_says_new_study.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">You can read all about it here.</span></a></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">However there is this contradictory article that says <strong><a href="http://www.straitstimes.com/vgn-ext-templating/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=809b527c2ccdf110VgnVCM100000430a0a0aRCRD&amp;vgnextchannel=8c52758920e39010VgnVCM1000000a35010aRCRD" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">slim is not in if you have had a stroke</span></a>.</strong> Those who have a low BMI had a higher mortality rate that patients who are overweight and even obese! Doesn’t this contradict what we have been hearing about fatter people being in the higher risk group of dying from heart and other diseases?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">There are different BMI chart to follow depending if you are Caucasian or Asian. Asians are at greater risk compared to Caucasians with similar BMI because an Asian have more body fat compared to a Caucasian of similar build.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Based on the articles, I summarized that BMI is not created equal. Besides BMI which is often used as rule of thumb to gauge “fatness and obesity”, it does not measure body fat percentage. What is this! Another factor to take into consideration? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Well rather than try to figure out can obesity shorten your life and by how much, trying to calculate what’s your BMI and body fat percentage to see where you fit in, counting your calories, etc don’t you think it’s better to get on with life without further worrying? Life is short, live it to the fullest.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">However, if you are interested in getting your weight down, in my opinion, it&#8217;s better to focus on ideal weight management than weight loss, maintaining a healthy weight and building muscle mass. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">There are these 2 programs that I have came across recently where one claims that you can <strong><a href="http://tummyfatnomore.com/calorieshiftingdiet.htm" target="_self"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Lose More by Eating More and Actually Lose 9lbs Every 11 days</span></a></strong>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The other program tells you how to <strong><a href="http://tummyfatnomore.com/" target="_self"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Burn off Stubborn Ugly Belly Fat and Avoid the Mistakes that Most People Make in choosing the wrong ab exercises</span></a></strong>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">So if you are concerned about, can obesity shorten your life, hop over to those 2 programs to check them out. How effective are those programs? I guess the best prove would be for me or you to purchase the products and try them. For those who have tried, do let me know if it works. Thanks.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Is it possible to eat more and lose more weight? As age catches up and our metabolism slows down, our midriff also seems to play catch up with our mid life crisis too.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">In today’s world with the far reach of the world wide web of the internet, lots of people are searching for instant fulfillment, expecting to lose weight instantly. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">So let me ask you, which is a better choice?</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Diet to lose weight? Or</span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Eat More and lose more weight?</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Isn’t that obvious? If we can choose to continue eating what we want and still lose more weight, wouldn’t that be wonderful? But is that possible?!</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">I chanced upon this program while surfing the internet and it made a bold promise that you can lose <a href="http://wilsonchia.com/fatloss4idiots.htm" target="_self">9 lbs in 11 days</a>. Here’s the gist of that program.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">It tells you:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Why low calories diet do not work</span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Why low FAT diet do not work</span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">How Low Carb diet makes you miserable</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">And the truth is, Food is NOT the enemy!Can you believe that!? </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Do you know that our brain controls the release of Fat Burning Hormones after each meal? </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Eating more often is the solution to weight loss!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">So it’s telling you that eating less is not the solution to weight loss. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">It’s telling you that you need to eat more and lose more weight! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">In fact, you need to eat more than 3 meals per day during the next 11 days to a slimmer lighter you! </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Does it work or not? Choice is yours. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">I am sticking to my present self and shape. I am in shape, Round is a shape!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">For those that are interested, the title of the weight loss program may or could be insulting to some. You can choose to eat more and lose more weight by following the program at <a href="http://wilsonchia.com/fatloss4idiots.htm" target="_self">“Fat Loss 4 Idiots”</a>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Here’s a look at the relationship between Melamine and Protein. Guess this must be a hot topic with the recent worldwide recall for China dairy products.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The recent worldwide recall of Chinese diary products and the “relationship” between melamine and the high protein in the milk products has frighten some people into believing that both melamine and protein are related. The actual fact is, they are not and a world apart. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">However, they share one common feature – high nitrogen content.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Melamine is relatively cheap industrial chemical, readily available, fairly non-toxic, water soluble and most significantly, super-rich in nitrogen. It is normally used to make plastics but it can also make milk and other food products appear to have a higher protein content than they actually do leading to the use of melamine as a cheap “high-protein” fake to boost protein readings.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Besides melamine, there are also other ingredients that are rich in nitrogen including urea and ammonium nitrate. There are known cases of urea and its derivatives being put illegally into products such as wheat. And we know ammonium nitrate is widely used as fertliser and can make its way into the food chain. <img class="alignright" title="food" src="http://wilsonchia.com/images/food.jpg" alt="" width="234" height="204" /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Their uses as illegal food additives escapes routine detection because many commercial quality control processes merely test for the total nitrogen content of the proteins, not the protein itself. Other proven methods to detect melamine and other non-protein nitrogen are available but they are not part of routine checks.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Melamine is not a potent toxin and most healthy adults can get rid of it by metabolism or passing it out in urine. With its combination with cyanuric acid when it degrades, they combine to form a crystalline complex that turns into a solid</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">This can lead to kidney stones and poses a serious health problem and death threat for infants and pets who are less efficient in getting rid of the chemicals.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Given the fact that relationship between melamine and protein has nothing in common except for their nitrogen rich content, we just have to be more watchful about what we eat and have a more balanced diet. With the possibility of ammonia nitrate passing down the food chain because of its wide use as fertilizer, perhaps protein rich vegetables and other vegetables with reported protein content may not be what they seem anymore??? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">And you thought it would be safe to be a vegetarian?</span></p>
