Heart Disease Costs Set to Triple by 2030

Posted on January 29th, 2011 by admin  |  Comments Off

The costs associated with heart disease are expected to triple by 2030, totaling more than $800 billion a year, says a new report by the American Heart Association (AHA).

According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death worldwide; an estimated 17.1 million people died from heart diseases in 2004 (29% of global deaths).

Treating hypertension (high blood pressure) will be the most costly, accounting for $389 billion of the projected $818.1 billion.

The AHA predicts the number of cardiovascular disease cases will grow by 10% over the next 20 years, unless actions are taken to improve national health. Obesity rates and tobacco use continue to fuel the increase.

Overall healthcare spending also continues to rise in the United States; increasing from 16.6% in 2009 to 17.6% in 2010.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 631,636 people in the United States (one in four Americans) died due to heart disease in 2006. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S.

The AHA says cardiovascular disease is very preventable; recommending better diet and more exercise. Cutting salt is also an easy way to reduce risk.

Dennis Kucinich Suing the Congressional Cafeteria

Posted on January 29th, 2011 by admin  |  Comments Off

Representative Dennis Kucinich, of Ohio, is suing the United States congressional cafeteria for dental damage he suffered, after busting his teeth on an olive pit, hidden in a sandwich wrap he purchased there.

And it’s not just for the price of a filling. Kucinich is seeking $150,000 in damages. The suit says he suffered “serious and permanent” injuries.

It might be bad public relations for a congressman to sue congress over a sandwich, but Kucinich has a point here. Clamping down on an olive “stone” is no joke.

Starbucks Trenta: Bigger Is Not Always Better

Posted on January 28th, 2011 by admin  |  Comments Off

Looks like Starbucks is jumping on the supersize bandwagon along with McDonald’s and other fast food chains with its reveal of the Trenta.

Trenta, which means “30″ in Italian, is the cafe chain’s newest size at 31 ounces. That’s about four to five cups of coffee in just one drink. Chicago analysts said that the larger-than-life drink could pack as many as 230 calories and lead to weight gain of more than 20 pounds a year in regular consumers.

“People need to realize that when they do choose these larger sizes, it’s going to lead to excess calories,” Dr. Jessica Bartfield, an internal medicine and weight loss specialist at Loyola’s Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, told AOL Health.

In addition to the caffiene overload, additives like sweeteners, sugars, cream and whole milk make it significantly unhealthier.

Supersize drinks at food and beverage chains have recently come under fire for their role in the U.S. obesity epidemic.

“They’re often a significant source of calories but not of nutrition,” Bartfield said. “All they’re giving you are empty calories.”

Starbucks reported that the Trenta size is available only for iced coffees, lemonades and Tazo iced tea drinks.

“Unsweetened, the beverages have fewer than 90 calories, and sweetened iced coffee or tea in a Trenta cup has fewer than 230 calories,” the company said in an e-mail sent to Nestle, Bartfield and others. “The unsweetened iced tea and iced coffee options are only five calories and fit the needs of customers looking for a refreshing offering at Starbucks.”

The new size was unveiled Jan. 18 in 14 states. It will be available in California next month, and by May, the whole nation will have the Trenta option.

“Be careful what you’re ordering,” Bartfield warned. “It’s not an innocent drink in that it can contribute to extra calories that will, in turn, contribute to weight gain. Bigger is not always better.”

Lose Weight With NLP

Posted on January 28th, 2011 by admin  |  Comments Off

With the vast array of diets on the market these days, you probably feel like you’ve seen it all.

However, “losing weight with NLP” is likely to be something a little different from the norm.

The original founders of NLP, or Neuro-linguistic Programming, Richard Bandler and John Grinder, claimed that,

NLP would be instrumental in “finding ways to help people have better, fuller and richer lives”. They coined the term “Neuro-Linguistic Programming” to denote their belief in a connection between neurological processes (”neuro”), language (”linguistic”) and behavioral patterns that have been learned through experience (”programming”), and can be organized to achieve specific goals in life.
