Obesity and Excess Hair

January 1, 1970 on 12:00 am | In Diet tips | Comments Off

There is evidence that high levels of insulin in the bloodstream  caused by obesity or by an underlying condition such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome  (PCOS) can cause excessive hairiness in women. 

Apparently the  insulin stimulates ovaries to produce excessive male homones which then act on the hair follicles.

Unfortunately conditions such as PCOS make it difficult to lose weight as the excess insulin causes your body to hang onto fat but it is all the more important that you make additional effort to eat healthily and reduce your weight because increased insulin can lead to insulin resistance and ultimately diabetes.

If you are struggling to lose weight despite eating healthy food in moderate portions and taking exercise and you have excessive amounts of facial or body hair be sure and see your doctor.

The Insomnia Diet

January 1, 1970 on 12:00 am | In Diet tips | Comments Off

With lack of sleep leading to the temptation to eat too much (probably in a keep yourself going by injecting lots of energy way) it makes sense to do all we can to get plenty of sleep when trying to lose weight.

This article lays out an eating plan which will help us sleep peacefully through the night. Actually the diet in this article sounds pretty healthy anyway and could well lead to losing a few pounds especially if you normally eat a lot of junk.

Just watch those portion sizes - eat only what you realy need. And move a bit more throughout the day (no strenuous exercise just before bed though) and it should all help in a delicious vicious circle - better sleep, better diet, better health, better shape.

Weight Loss Struggles

January 1, 1970 on 12:00 am | In Diet tips | Comments Off

Good sensible advice in thsi article from The Sacramento Bee about losing weight. Maybe you've heard it all before, maybe not - but the important thing is are you doing it?

Only action brings reward in weight loss - wanting to lose weight, hoping to lose weight or planning to lose weight just don't cut it.

And the saying goes "Just Do it" not "Just Think about It."

Of course not all the advice you hear about weight loss will be right for you. You need to adopt the kind that works and drop what doesn't suit you and your lifestyle but don't knock it until you have given it your best shot.

Tim Berners-Lee and media misrepresentation

January 1, 1970 on 12:00 am | In Media, Internet | Comments Off Like Norm, when I read the BBC and Guardian reports of Tim Berners-Lee’s comments about the internet I was somewhat surprised. In the Guardian: He singles out the rise of blogging as one of the most difficult areas for the continuing development of the web, because of the risks associated with inaccurate, defamatory and uncheckable information.
