Healthy Weight Loss

No matter how peaceful your nature, when it comes to the battle of the bulge, you have to put up a good fight. In our eat-and-run, massive-portion-sized world, maintaining a healthy weight can be hard enough, and healthy weight loss can be a real struggle. Adding to the difficulty is the abundance of fad diets and “quick-fix” plans that tempt and confuse us and ultimately usually do not work.

Weight management not only makes you look and feel better, it influences your future health. A healthy weight decreases your chances of developing serious health risks such as heart disease or diabetes.

If your last diet attempt wasn't a success, or life events have caused you to gain weight, don’t be discouraged. The key is to find a plan that works with your body’s individual needs so that you can avoid common diet pitfalls and instead make lasting lifestyle changes that can help you find long-term, healthy weight loss success.

A study published in the November issue of Mayo Clinic Women’s HealthSource articulated that a daily aspirin can help lower the risk of heart attack and clot-related strokes.

According to the study, Aspirin reduces the clumping action of platelets, the blood’s clotting cells. Clotting helps a cut or wound stop bleeding. But clots also form within blood vessels that supply the heart and brain. If the vessels are already narrowed from a build-up of fatty deposits, a blood clot can quickly block an artery, causing a heart attack or stroke.

Previous studies on aspirin therapy only involved men, but the New studies confirm that women may benefit from aspirin therapy, too, but not exactly the way men benefit.

Recent studies identified the following differences and similarities between the sexes and showed that aspirin:

- Helps prevent a first stroke for women. There’s no risk reduction for men.

- Helps prevent a first heart attack for women over age 65 and for all men.

- Helps prevent a second heart attack for men and women, regardless of age.
