NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A small study adds to mounting evidence that MRI scans may be safe for people with pacemakers or implanted defibrillators. Manufacturers currently warn against putting the devices into MRI scanners, whose strong magnetic field might in principle cause the metal wires from the devices to heat up and burn the heart tissue. Apart from injuring the heart, that could also upset the electric properties of the delicate devices. But more and more research suggests those worries, which are entirely theoretical, could turn out to be unfounded, said Dr. ... read more..

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Two in five adults in the U.S. are getting general Healthcare from specialist doctors, according to a new study showing that figure held steady for nearly a decade. Researchers found that in 1999 and 2007, approximately 59 percent of visits in the U.S. for primary care were to family physicians.

Weight Loss Program-Body Fat Percentage-Weight Loss Plateau-Weight Training

HOW TO STILL LOSE POUNDS WHEN WEIGHT LOSS SUDDENLY STOPS AND FLAB IS JIGGLING: W...

HOW TO STILL LOSE POUNDS WHEN WEIGHT LOSS SUDDENLY STOPS AND FLAB IS JIGGLING: When you start a new weight loss program, especially if you have significant amount of weight to lose, the pounds often fall off rather easily the first few weeks. However as your journey progresses its common to hit a point where even though you're still exercising and dieting, the scale stops showing results. This is commonly referred to as a Weight Loss Plateau. There are a couple of different reasons why the scale isn’t budging. With a few tweaks to your routine, you’ll find that you can start losing weight again. Take a look at some of the most common reasons why you may not be losing weight:
1. YOU ARE UNDERESTIMATING THE CALORIES YOU EAT. When you start a diet, you’re probably quite strict about counting your calories. You may even use a scale or measuring cups to make sure that you are eating the right portion size. However, as time goes on, you tend to get less rigid, eyeballing portions instead of being accurate. This could be adding extra calories without you realizing it.
2. YOU ARE OVERESTIMATING THE CALORIES BURNED. If you’re following the calories burned guide on the exercise machine or relying on estimates from the internet, you may be overestimating how much you are burning when you work out. Get yourself a heart rate monitor that tracks calories and to make sure you’re working at your target heart rate. PS: How Many Calories do You Burn as per Activity http://www.indiadiets.com/Calculators1/Activitycalburn.htm
3. YOU ARE NOT EATING ENOUGH. People who are more active need more calories just to survive. If you eat too few calories, your body thinks that it’s starving and it tends to hold on to the fat. The barest minimums are 1200 calories for women and 1800 for men. People that are larger, more active, or breastfeeding may require much more. I’d venture to say that most people need much more than the 1200/1800. Calculate how many calories you should be eating http://www.indiadiets.com/Calculators1/Total_caloric_requirement.asp
. YOUR BODY IS IN A RUT. Our bodies are made to be efficient. If you’ve been doing the same exercise routine since you started a diet, your body may have adjusted to the activity, so that it’s not burning as many calories as when you first started. To remedy this, try switching to a different aerobic exercise, or increase your frequency, duration or intensity. If you’re weight training, try different exercises and be sure to increase the weights if the exercises are too easy.
5. YOU ARE LOSING FAT BUT GAINING MUSCLE. If you’re new to exercise (or getting back into it after a long layoff), you may be losing body fat but gaining muscle at the same time. I’ve had this happen to me several times. If this is the case, rejoice! That’s the holy grail of fat loss. How can you tell if you’re losing fat and gaining lean body mass? Track your body fat percentage over several weeks. You may see your weight staying the same but your body fat percentage dropping.
If you don’t think that any of these reasons apply to you, you may want to discuss your concerns with a Nutritionist. Be sure to keep a detailed log of your foods and activities so that your nutritionist can get a better idea of the whole picture.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - In a small new study, pregnant women who fasted during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan were no more likely to give birth prematurely than women who didn't observe the fast. Lebanese researchers found no significant differences in the rate of births before the 37th week of pregnancy among 201 pregnant Beirut women who fasted during the daytime compared with 201 women who didn't. The babies of women who fasted were smaller, on average, however, which the researchers called "alarming. ... read more..

Ontario Soccer Association-The Ottawa Royals Soccer-Tournament Organizer-Tobacco Products

Kickin' in the Capital's Jane Dennis Recognized

Today, Ottawa Public Health recognized the leadership of the Ottawa Royals Kickin’ in the Capital tournament organizer, Jane Dennis for her efforts in making this sports event tobacco-free. The Ottawa Royals Soccer Club, which is affiliated with the Eastern Ontario District Soccer Association, established their tobacco-free policy at the beginning of the 2009 season, requiring that all players, coaches and spectators refrain from smoking or using tobacco products during league games and activities.The tobacco-free policy not only prevents second-hand smoke exposure from cigarettes at games, but also prevents other forms of tobacco use, such as chew, spit or snus. Tobacco-free events serve as positive role-modeling tool for both youth taking part in the competition and for spectators. Smoke-free events remove the some of the triggers that can signal a person’s craving for nicotine. As well, smoke-free environments support people who have quit or who are trying to quit and can help make quit attempts more successful.To ensure that the Royals tobacco-free policy was widely known and followed, it was explained to players by coaches, advertised in the schedules and promoted throughout the season with banners advertising a healthy lifestyle. The Ottawa Royals Soccer Club’s tobacco-free policy helped earn its Silver Level Club Excellence Award from the Ontario Soccer Association.The City of Ottawa recently amended its smoke-free by-laws to create smoke-free outdoor spaces on all municipal property, including: all city parks; beaches; playgrounds; sports fields and outdoor areas around city facilities; the ByWard and Parkdale Market stands; and all restaurant and bar patios. The Ottawa Royals Soccer Club’s tobacco-free policy and the City of Ottawa’s by-law compliment each other to ensure that sporting events, young athletes and spectators remain tobacco-free.The boy’s tournament takes place August 11-12, while the girl’s tournament runs September 8-9, 2012.Congratulations Jane! read more..

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A spoonful of honey before bed may help little kids with a cough - and their parents - sleep through the night, a new study suggests.

Coughs are one of the most common reasons kids go to the doctor, said Dr. Ian Paul, a pediatrician from Pennsylvania State University in Hershey. But, he said, "The therapies for cough and cold symptoms… have problems in that they're not very effective, or not effective at all, and they have the potential for side effects. ... read more..
