Like everything in this post analog world we live in, fables and factoids abound about just about every topic you can think of. A fable is like an urban myth, something everyone believes to be true but it isn’t. A factoid is a small fact that is true, but not in the context it is being relied upon at that time.
Fasting Blocks Fat
I got this from a blog last week. The fable is that fasting is all you need to block fat from storing itself on your organs, in your thighs, buttocks or tummy. Not sure of the pseudo-science supporting this one but the answer…

No health plan should rely on just one, single ingredient or item to succeed. In fact it is not just risky, it can be lethal. You need to diversify, much like you would to protect your investments. One item that every health plan should include but too often doesn’t, is tea.
Tea Can’t Hurt
Unlike some supplements, even natural, organic ones, too much is a bad thing. Even a large amount can undo any good done. Not so with tea. Basically your back teeth start to float when you drink a lot and so you naturally stop and go to the bathroom, making room for more tea. We’re…

Tea helps you lose waist. Not weight so much as waist and that is what you want to shed, right? Tava Tea is one of the best on the market and drinking it may help you achieve your ideal weight sooner.
Waist or Weightloss?
We often mix the two up and really, fat weighs a lot less than bone and muscle and very often an exercise regime will burn off fat, but it might build muscle too. The end result is you weigh as much, maybe more than before. Of course that is a healthy kind of weight to have so let’s not think weight. Let’s think waist.
Tea Helps Your Waistline

Boxers have for many years gone for a run wearing a nylon sweat suit. If they didn’t have a proper sweat suit they would improvise with a plastic garbage bag. The result would be akin to a solar still, that desert survival trick where you use a plastic sheet and the sun to cause condensation to form and provide water. For a boxer this was a great way to instantly shed a few ounces, even a couple of pounds! So why don’t all us fat people take a hike every morning swathed in plastic?

Nothing is ever as easy as it seems and if it were simply a…

Your body is made up of mostly water, or fluid to be more precise. While some claim anything up to 95% water, you would have to be a jellyfish to qualify for that number. The authority on body water percentages is Arthur Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology. Guyton states “the total amount of water in a man of average weight (70 kilograms) is approximately 40 litres, averaging 60 percent of his total body weight. In a newborn infant, this may be as high as 75 percent of the body weight, but it progressively decreases from birth to old age, most of the decrease occurring during the first 10 years of life. Also, obesity decreases the percentage of…

Reading that title again I realise why my wife, who proof reads my articles, said it was ambiguous. This article isn’t a bunch of fast facts about fat blockers. It is about fat blockers when fasting, or more specifically taking a fat blocker while you fast.
Fasts Mean Nothing By Mouth, Right?
No, not at all. There are many ways to fast and you can fast by eating or drinking only a specific food or food group. While the true or most accurate meaning of fast, as in to fast, is to not eat or drink, this is not the only way to get some great fasting benefits. Those signs above sad looking patient’s…

Some people simply don’t understand what colon cleansing is all about. There is even a movement about that believes colon cleansing and colon cleansers are all hocus pocus, just another way to waste money. They are right, yet at the same time they are wrong. While there urban myth about a lump of month old mutton staying put in your colon is fanciful, the reality is that some food stuffs move through faster than others.

One of the sixty four million dollar Fat questions has to be ‘Are all fats created equal, like are they the same?’ The answer to that is pretty much in the ‘how long is a piece of string’ department. We need to look at these terms before we can form an educated and informed opinion.
What Kinds Of Fats Are There?
Fat refers to a wide group of compounds that all share one thing in common. They are usually soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. This is why you use a dishwashing detergent when washing your dishes and pots; you want…

Nobody wants to experience that horrible, sinking feeling in the pit of their stomach when they realise they may have just been ripped off. What makes it worse is when the rip off product is a fake health product they have already ingested! Most of us are pretty careful about what we swallow and take into our bodies. By the time we wake up to health, we give up on large amounts of caffeine, alcohol and nicotine and focus on nutritious, healthy products. Or at least we should if we are serious about burning fat and losing weight.
Health Products Must Be Trustworthy
We need to be able to trust the health products…

Some medical experts claim that detox programs and the products associated with them are merely marketing gimmicks. The Chief Dietician of St George’s Hospital Medical School in London, England, Dr Catherine Collins, says “The concept of ‘detox’ is a marketing myth rather than a physiological entity.” There are many people who do not make their living from selling detox programs and products who would disagree with the learned doctor. These are people who engage in detox programs and are convinced they can feel the difference. Dr Collins continues by saying, “the idea that an avalanche of vitamins, minerals, and laxatives taken over a 2 to 7 day period can have a long-lasting benefit for the body is also…

Although some might describe a juice fast as a fad, or the latest thing, it isn’t. Juice fasting has been around for generations, all that has made it ‘modern’ is the ease with which you can extract the juices from fruits and vegetables with modern kitchen appliances. The practise and the particulars remain the same. Particulars in this context refers to the results, both positive and not so positive, that can be had from performing a juice fast.
Consult Your Doctor First
While some people just do it, as the slogan says, others take a more measured, scientific approach and follow the instructions on the label, so to…
