Doctor explains 3 ways to get rid of belly fat and reduce coronavirus death risk – Mirror Online

Now, more than ever, we need to change our eating and health habits to boost that all-important immune system.

With COVID-19 cases back on the rise, it seems only sensible that we do all we can to get fit and healthy and that means focussing on losing weight.

Frightening statistics have revealed that men are twice as likely to die from coronavirus than women, and obesity increases that risk.

COVID-19 attacks vital organs, specifically the lungs, and the more overweight you are, the lower your lung capacity. But why is it men who are worse off?

Studies have revealed that men are more likely to think they are leaner than women think they are, so might be less likely to take action when it comes to their weight, explains Dr Michael Mosley.

They take less care of their health and yet are at greater risk of things like diabetes and heart disease.

Here, Dr Mosley, creator of The Fast 800 intermittent-fasting plan, tells us how to shape up in his own words.

One of the main challenges as we age is that our metabolism slows right down. Men, on average, put on around 0.5 kg for every year between 40 and 60.

The waist to height ratio is a useful indicator of health ideally your waist circumference should be at most half of your height.

Grab a piece of string that is as long as you are tall. Fold it in half and see if it fits around your waist. If it doesnt, dont worry.

We come in all shapes and sizes, but an increased waist circumference can indicate a higher risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.

Even the slimmest of men can suffer with belly fat one of the most dangerous places to store fat.

As if this were not bad enough, fat cells deep in your abdomen also known as visceral fat are reluctant to let go of their energy stash.

To find the extra energy needed to fuel a small energy deficit, or a standard gym session, your body will look to other reserves first, like your glutes.

Fortunately, recent breakthroughs in medical and sports science have shown that it is possible to throw this gradient into reverse you can lose belly fat and you can lose it fast.

Follow the guidelines below

1) Low sugar, simple carbs and more protein

To make a serious impact on your belly fat, cutting out sugar spikes is key. When people cut carbs, their appetite goes down and they lose weight.

Not all carbs are created equal; there are good carbs and bad carbs. The trick is not to cut carbs completely, but to be choosy about the ones you regularly eat.

White bread, white pasta, potatoes and sugars, including maple syrup and agave nectar, are best eaten sparingly, if at all.

They are easily digestible carbohydrates, rapidly absorbed by the body, creating a big spike in blood-sugar levels.

Instead, eat carbs that contain lots of fibre. Fibre reduces the blood-sugar spike, provides protection against bowel cancer and feeds the good bacteria that live in your gut.

Examples include vegetables, legumes and wholegrains, such as barley, oats, buckwheat, wholegrain and rye.

Limit your intake of any food or drink containing more than 5% sugar to no more than twice a week. This includes sweet fruits like mango and pineapple, and sugary smoothies and juices.

2) Intermittent fasting

The idea that fasting slows your metabolism is a myth. When you eat fewer calories than you burn you create a calorie deficit, also called an energy deficit. You must create a calorie deficit to lose weight.

Eating 800 calories per day or less not only helps you lose weight because youre eating fewer calories, but your body responds to the stress of fasting by producing more of the hormone noradrenaline, which is known to burn fat.

Short-term fasting can lead to changes in the body that make fat-burning easier. These include reduced insulin, increased growth hormone, more adrenaline and a small boost in metabolism.

The Fast 800 diet (click HERE to find out more) combines intermittent fasting with time-restricted eating, which is very straightforward.

Simply ensure that for at least 12 hours within each 24-hour period, you do not consume any calories. Some people prefer to shorten their eating window further to 10 or eight hours.

Finally, cut down on booze. Try to follow a 5:2 pattern, taking a couple of days off drinking each week.

3) HIIT training

Exercise is key for various reasons. It is among the best things you can do for a long and healthy life.

I recommend just 10 minutes on a static bike three times a week, plus quick strengthening exercises, which dont require special equipment.

In case youve never tried HIIT (high intensity interval training), it involves a few very short bursts of exercise carried out in succession.

If you dont have an exercise bike you can try pedalling on your road bike furiously up a hill, running up the stairs, or doing short sprints when out on a run just pick up your walking pace until you are breathing hard.

The main thing is that these bursts should be brief (30 seconds maximum when it comes to the stairs or running), but hard enough to get your heart rate up.

Xavier Wood reveals whether he will continue streaming following WWEs third-party… – The Sportsrush

Xavier Wood reveals whether he will continue streaming following WWEs recent edict imposing a third-party ban on its wrestlers and performers.

The WWE are currently in hot waters over their decision to ban their wrestlers from engaging in third-party platforms. Several WWE performers can be on found on platforms such as Cameo, Twitch, YouTube and more and have not taken kindly to the company dictating what they can and what they cant do.

Xavier Woods is the most notable one of them all. He monetized his gaming stream on YouTube and Twitch long before anyone else in the company thought of doing the same. He has 2.2 million subscribers on his UpUpDownDown YouTube Channel. However, the new edict has left fans worried for the future of his channels.

I dont have any answers, Woods said addressing the situation with the WWE on anewLEGACYinc Twitchstream. I have no answers, I have no idea what is going on. I think Im fine, I think most people are fine, but well find out. I dont know, Im not the person to ask.

I wish I knew more, but I dont, unfortunately. Were gonna stream as much as we can, for as long as we can. Im just trying to build an audience so that when I get my G4 gig, we have a built-in crew. Keep my game name alive.

WWE Stars such as Paige, Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks have begun using their real names on third-party platforms. This has led to many wondering if reverting to their real name can help stars bypass the order. However, there is very little clarity and a lot of furore on the situation at the moment.

Considering the classification of WWE Wrestlers as Independent Contractors many including former Democratic Presidential candidate Andrew Yang have questioned the WWE over how much control it has exhibited over workers who arent legally their employees.

Masterchef’s Gregg Wallace says he lost weight to be ‘attractive’ for young wife – Mirror Online

Masterchef host Gregg Wallace says losing his love handles is keeping the romance alive with his younger wife.

Gregg, 55, who used to weigh 16 stone, says he was motivated after falling in love with a younger woman, then wanting to be physically attractive for her.

He met Anna, 33, in 2013, and went on to shed four stone through exercise and healthier eating because he did not want to be the older and fatter partner.

Gregg said: Ive got more energy and stamina and Im stronger and leaner than I was at 25.

"If someone cant get a jar open, I want to do it.

A big wake-up call for Gregg was being told he had dangerously high cholesterol, which is when he signed up with a personal trainer.

His goal, he said, was to look more like a Love Island star because he hated seeing how tubby he looked on screen.

Ditching the conveyor belt of takeaways and fry-ups really helped the weight drop off, and now he loves buying clothes that I like, not clothes that will cover me over.

Catching the fitness bug also led Gregg to launch a website, showme.fit, to help others achieve their fitness goals.

It includes his own tips, exercise routines from his personal trainer, wife Annas healthy recipes and advice from a nutritionist and psychologist.

But Gregg reckons the key to getting fit is to be patient.

He said: When we slip up we tend to chuck it all in, but thats not the way. Youre going to slip up. Youre going to go to the pub, drink too much and get a kebab on the way home.

What I have learned is being good most of the time is good enough.

You dont have to go crazy. You dont have to be hungry. There is no way Im going through the week without a pint of beer. But Im careful most of the time and here I am, as fit as a butchers dog.

Gregg refused to go down the 5:2 fasting plan route, finding the idea uncomfortable.

He said: Why do people put themselves through that? It might make you lose weight short-term but its not sustainable.

You need to gradually move yourself to a better place. In the end your body craves the good things. If you put a fry-up in front of me now, I wouldnt want it.

Gregg recommends starting by making simple changes.

So the roast potatoes go from a pile to two and a boiled one, the rib eye steak becomes fillet, fish in batter becomes grilled fish, a chocolate bar becomes an apple Have a gammon steak and a poached egg, it will fill you up longer than a bacon sandwich.

He says tinned and frozen food can even be the healthy choice.

I dont know one single chef who doesnt use frozen peas once in a while, he said.

Gregg exercises for an hour at the gym, five days a week, and kept up his regime at home in lockdown.

He has also been enjoying walks near his home in Kent and cooking healthy lunches for Anna, his daughter Libby, 23, one-year-old son Sid and Annas parents.

But the crisis has made Gregg reevaluate life.

He said: Im a workaholic. I want to slow down a touch. I loved being at home. It made me appreciate what Ive got.

Why sleep is so important for losing weight – The Conversation UK

When it comes to weight loss, diet and exercise are usually thought of as the two key factors that will achieve results. However, sleep is an often-neglected lifestyle factor that also plays an important role.

The recommended sleep duration for adults is seven to nine hours a night, but many people often sleep for less than this. Research has shown that sleeping less than the recommended amount is linked to having greater body fat, increased risk of obesity, and can also influence how easily you lose weight on a calorie-controlled diet.

Typically, the goal for weight loss is usually to decrease body fat while retaining as much muscle mass as possible. Not obtaining the correct amount of sleep can determine how much fat is lost as well as how much muscle mass you retain while on a calorie restricted diet.

One study found that sleeping 5.5 hours each night over a two-week period while on a calorie-restricted diet resulted in less fat loss when compared to sleeping 8.5 hours each night. But it also resulted a greater loss of fat-free mass (including muscle).

Another study has shown similar results over an eight-week period when sleep was reduced by only one hour each night for five nights of the week. These results showed that even catch-up sleep at the weekend may not be enough to reverse the negative effects of sleep deprivation while on a calorie-controlled diet.

There are several reasons why shorter sleep may be associated with higher body weight and affect weight loss. These include changes in metabolism, appetite and food selection.

Sleep influences two important appetite hormones in our body leptin and ghrelin. Leptin is a hormone that decreases appetite, so when leptin levels are high we usually feel fuller. On the other hand, ghrelin is a hormone that can stimulate appetite, and is often referred to as the hunger hormone because its thought to be responsible for the feeling of hunger.

One study found that sleep restriction increases levels of ghrelin and decreases leptin. Another study, which included a sample of 1,024 adults, also found that short sleep was associated with higher levels of ghrelin and lower levels of leptin. This combination could increase a persons appetite, making calorie-restriction more difficult to adhere to, and may make a person more likely to overeat.

Consequently, increased food intake due to changes in appetite hormones may result in weight gain. This means that, in the long term, sleep deprivation may lead to weight gain due to these changes in appetite. So getting a good nights sleep should be prioritised.

Along with changes in appetite hormones, reduced sleep has also been shown to impact on food selection and the way the brain perceives food. Researchers have found that the areas of the brain responsible for reward are more active in response to food after sleep loss (six nights of only four hours sleep) when compared to people who had good sleep (six nights of nine hours sleep).

This could possibly explain why sleep-deprived people snack more often and tend to choose carbohydrate-rich foods and sweet-tasting snacks, compared to those who get enough sleep.

Sleep duration also influences metabolism, particularly glucose (sugar) metabolism. When food is eaten, our bodies release insulin, a hormone that helps to process the glucose in our blood. However, sleep loss can impair our bodies response to insulin, reducing its ability to uptake glucose. We may be able to recover from the occasional night of sleep loss, but in the long term this could lead to health conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Our own research has shown that a single night of sleep restriction (only four hours sleep) is enough to impair the insulin response to glucose intake in healthy young men. Given that sleep-deprived people already tend to choose foods high in glucose due to increased appetite and reward-seeking behaviour, the impaired ability to process glucose can make things worse.

An excess of glucose (both from increased intake and a reduced ability to uptake into the tissues) could be converted to fatty acids and stored as fat. Collectively, this can accumulate over the long term, leading to weight gain.

However, physical activity may show promise as a countermeasure against the detrimental impact of poor sleep. Exercise has a positive impact on appetite, by reducing ghrelin levels and increasing levels of peptide YY, a hormone that is released from the gut, and is associated with the feeling of being satisfied and full.

After exercise, people tend to eat less, particularly when the energy expended by exercise is taken into account. However, its unknown if this still remains in the context of sleep restriction.

Research has also shown that exercise training may protect against the metabolic impairments that result from a lack of sleep, by improving the bodys response to insulin, leading to improved glucose control.

We have also shown the potential benefits of just a single session of exercise on glucose metabolism after sleep restriction. While this shows promise, studies are yet to determine the role of long-term physical activity in people with poor sleep.

Its clear that sleep is important for losing weight. A lack of sleep can increase appetite by changing hormones, makes us more likely to eat unhealthy foods, and influences how body fat is lost while counting our calories. Sleep should therefore be considered as an essential alongside diet and physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle.

People with obesity in the UK wait much longer before discussing weight with a healthcare provider – Science Codex

A detailed analysis of UK data from a global obesity study (the ACTION-IO study) has shown that, on average, people with obesity (PwO) in the UK were struggling with their weight for 9 years before they sought help from a healthcare professional/HCP, much longer than the global average of 6 years found in this study.

This delay puts PwO at additional risk of developing obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and cancer. Additionally, more than half of the PwO had never discussed their weight with an HCP.

Reasons identified for the findings were that PwO felt that it was their own sole responsibility to manage their excess weight, and UK doctors incorrectly perceived their patients to be not motivated to lose weight. Short appointment times were also a barrier to weight loss conversations in the UK.

The study is by UK obesity experts, including medical doctors and a patient representative, and is led by Dr Carly Hughes, Fakenham Weight Management Service, Fakenham Medical Practice, Fakenham, Norfolk, UK, and Professor Jason Halford, University of Leeds, UK. It is presented at this year's European and International Congress on Obesity, held online from September 1-4.

In the ACTION-IO study, an online survey was conducted in 11 countries: Australia, Chile, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Spain, UAE and the UK. This particular study looks at the UK results, where 1500 PwO and 306 HCPs (156 primary care physicians/PCPs, 150 in secondary care/SC) completed the survey (with a response rate of PwO 14%, HCPs 28%). Respondents were recruited through email via online companies to whom they had given permission to be contacted for research purposes.

Two-thirds of PwO and most HCPs (84% PCPs, 89% SC) agreed that obesity is a chronic disease. PwO (81%) believed that obesity has a large impact on health, similar to diabetes (82%), cancer (82%), and stroke (88%). However, only 68% of UK HCPs (compared with an average of 76% of HCPs from all 11 countries) recognised the impact of obesity on health, and it was rated less serious than diabetes, cancer and stroke by 40%, 65% and 62% of HCPs, respectively.

Around 8 in 10 PwO (78%) had made 1 or more serious weight loss (WL) efforts in the past, and 18% had no plans for WL within the next 6 months. Only one in 10 PCPs (10%) and one in six SC (17%) thought their patients were motivated to lose weight.

A WL of 5% or greater in the past 3 years was reported by 37% of PwO; of those, 28% maintained this for at least 1 year (representing 10% of the total PwO). A total of 85% of PwO assumed full responsibility for their own WL; 41% of PCPs and 25% of SC also placed the responsibility for WL on PwO.

Among the 47% of PwO (compared with 54% across all 11 countries) who had a discussion with an HCP about weight in the past 5 years, it took a mean of 9 years (versus an average of 6 years across all 11 countries) from the start of struggles with weight until a discussion took place. PwO who had a weight discussion with an HCP reported positive (56%) and negative (45%) feelings, while 4% felt offended.

PCPs discussed weight (61%) and provided a diagnosis of obesity (64%) with a smaller proportion of their patients with obesity than SC (73% and 71% respectively). More UK HCPs (68%) than the average across all 11 countries (54%) selected short appointment time as a top reason for not discussing weight management.

The authors say: "UK health care providers underrate the impact of obesity on health, with few believing their patients are motivated to lose weight. In the UK, the time from the start of struggles with weight until the initial discussion with their doctor - which is the gateway to treatment in the UK NHS - was longer than the global average, and we believe addressing this time gap is key. Such a delay puts people with obesity at increased risk of developing obesity related conditions."

They add: "The narrative around obesity must be changed in the UK for the whole population, including people with obesity, with less focus on individual responsibility which encourages self-blame and stigma. Obesity education should address the barriers to weight loss discussions which may include doctors' perceptions and misconceptions regarding the motivations of people with obesity, knowledge of treatments and time barriers in consultations."

Losing weight with detox teas – Popular choices, health benefits and side effects – Times Now

Losing weight with detox teas - Popular choices, health benefits and side effects  |  Photo Credit: iStock Images

New Delhi: Losing weight is a long process that requires consistency and perseverance. More than just a process that lasts for a few days, weeks, or months, it is a commitment to stay healthy and make certain lifestyle changes forever, to ensure you live a long and healthy life. While a balanced diet and regular physical activity are key to losing weight, certain foods and beverages can act as catalysts of the process, ensuring that other factors are taken care of.

One such beverage option is that of detox teas. Known for many health benefits, especially of reducing oxidative damage to the body due to stress and free radicals, detox teas have become a common part of many people's diet to stay healthy and fit.

Detox teas, as the name suggests have antioxidant properties, which can help in the elimination of toxins from your body. This is important to ensure a reduction in free radical activity, which leads to oxidative stress and increases your risk of diseases. Detoxing has been a popular practice since centuries, and detox teas are the newest trend in the picture. Detox teas are also very popular on social media, and among celebrities, social media influencers, and models.

While it depends on personal choice, some of the most popular choices when it comes to detox teas are -

These teas are mostly consumed by people on a weight loss diet.

Detox teas can be seen as dietary supplements taken to reduce oxidative stress in the body. However, like almost all dietary supplements, ingredients in these are not approved by the FDA or other regulatory bodies in respective countries specifically, which can lead to certain problems.

Some experts suggest that some of these detox teas can contain laxatives, which causes the food to pass through your body quicker, to give a slimmer effect. The use of these teas can also trigger eating disorders such as anorexia.

It is psychologically proven that for a certain amount of food when we pick the bigger plate, it is the human tendency of perception that makes that amount of food look smaller in relation to the size of the plate, which makes us pile on more food. Whereas the same amount of food on a smaller plate would visually signal our mind to feel like we are eating enough, stated Prachi Purii in one of her YouTube videos.

Put Snacks in Opaque Containers Instead of Transparent ones

Most of the time it happens that when you cannot see food put in a container, you would not mindlessly want it or eat it. So, it is advisable to keep your snacks in opaque containers.

Dont Fall For the Guilt of Having a Cheat Meal

When we restrict ourselves too much, we get into the mindset of extreme dieting. This means you are restricting yourself to a point that even if you have one unhealthy food, you feel like you have ruined your entire progress and you have failed yourself so much that you might just binge and eat everything and thats what creates a very unhealthy relationship with food. Binge eating out of guilt is like slashing the other three tyres of your car because one of them got punctured. You are not going to become fat by eating just one unhealthy food. So, do not beat yourself up. Just, go back to eating as you would.

Here’s How This Couple Lost 220 Pounds Together and Changed Their Lives – MSN Money

Provided by Best Life Growing up, Jasmine Parenthas always been athleticnot to mention tall. Hitting 5'10" at an early age, her above average height and natural athletic ability made basketball the obvious sport of choice. And it was one she excelled at greatly, even playing at Arcadia College in Nova Scotia. But it wasn't long after graduating that real life started to become overwhelming. Missing the piece of her identity previously fulfilled by basketball and dealing with the loss of her father, Parent found herself struggling with a lack of purpose. She turned to food as a means of coping, and in just a couple of years she put on over 100 pounds. She also got married to her now-husband Jeremy and gave birth to two girls. As a wife and mother of two, she found little time to focus on herselfcausing both her physical and mental health to fall by the wayside."I looked at myself in the mirror and saw a photo of myself with some friends, and I didn't recognize myself at all," Parent, now 31, told Best Life. "It was like I blinked and two years had gone by."In late 2017, with New Year's Eve quickly approaching, Jasmine and Jeremywho was also significantly overweightdecided it was time to commit to turning their lives around. In order to be the best parents possible to their two young girls, they needed to get serious about their health. So, they did what millions of people every year dothey made a resolution to lose weight. But, they'd made resolutions in the past and tried an array of trendy diets. What would be different this time? After all, according to a survey by Statista, only 4 percent of people who made New Year's resolutions in 2018 reported keeping them for any reasonable length of time."We made a point of emphasis to say that this wasn't going to be like other New Year's resolutions before. We need to make this real," Parent said, adding that having two children to think about gave the couple the extra edge that had been lacking in previous attempts to change their lifestyle. "Instead of just making some short-term changes, we want to make life-long changes." And that's exactly what they did.On the morning of Jan. 1, 2018, Jasmine and Jeremy rid their house of any and all junk food deemed to have the potential to prevent the couple from achieving their goal. That was the first step of their plan, which also included cutting out all beverages besides water, getting regular exercise, and, perhaps most importantly, tracking their food with Lose It!, a popular weight loss app that allowed them to monitor their food and water intake."We didn't have a clue how much food we were actually consuming," Parent said. "You don't have to starve yourself. We decided to eat cleaner and track our foods. That's how you make long-term changes."That's not to say that there weren't challenges along the way, but based on trial and error, they figured out what worked for them. When two cheat days a month seemed to be pushing them too far off track, they narrowed it down to one day per month in which they allowed themselves to indulge in some less restrictive diet decisions.A few months into 2018 and already showing signs of success, on a whim, Parent began documenting her weight-loss journey on Instagram. Though she hoped her story would inspire others in similar situations, she never thought it would take off the way it did. After quickly growing her following on social media, by the time Dec. 2018 rolled aroundjust a year after the couple made their resolution to get healthyParent had not only dropped more than 100 pounds, but she was also able to leave her job and start her own business, I Am Worthy Wellness.Now a certified nutrition coach and behavior change specialist, Parent helps people overcome the hurdles standing in their way of achieving positive lifestyle goals, especially those posed by mental health issues, which she has a personal passion for."I had been on anti-anxiety medication for five years," Parent told Best Life. "And before this all started, my anxiety had reached the point of crippling." But after talking with her doctor, she was able to get off medication only a year after beginning her weight-loss effort. "I'm thankful to say I've never had to go back on them," Parent said. Though theirs is an incredible story, Parent swears it's not an unrealistic one for those who want to make a similar change.
