Dental Hygiene Preferred Complete Day/Night Mouth Guard Kit, Colors may vary

Product Description

As a Registered Dental Hygienist, this is the same model night guard I wear and recommend to my patients! Excessive grinding and clenching of the teeth can be extremely damaging. Premature failure of Dental restorations, breakage of teeth and gum line recession are common problems associated with the grinding/clenching habit known as bruxism. In our Dental practice we make custom fitted guards that sell for hundreds of dollars but we offer these as an alternative when cost is a concern. After trying dozens of OTC (over the counter) mouth guard models these have proven to be the best fitting most comfortable day/night brux/clench/grind guard. These will double as a sports mouth guard but are intended to be used as a protective device for people who grind and clench their teeth and are wanting a better more comfortable fit than a sports mouth guard can offer.

Natural Treatment Options for Prostate Bph

If your prostate diagnosis leaves you free of cancer, you may still have Benign Prostate Hypertrophy (prostate BPH). Rather than using hormonal or alpha blockers, many men have opted for a natural approach to avoid some of the unpleasant side effects of the drug therapy. The two prescription drugs, inasteride (Proscar) and terazosin (Hytrin) make lots of money for drug companies because they are the only two approved by the FDA to prevent prostatic proliferation (the growth of new prostate cells that cause prostate BPH in men over 50).

First we will look at 7 different therapy options for prostate BPH. These options are Ayurveda, Reflexology, Food Therapy, Imagery, Hydrotherapy, Vitamin and Mineral Therapy and Yoga. We present you with a brief synopsis of each therapy as it relates to prostate problems.

Ayurveda

The Ayurvedic approach to all disease is to first make certain that you have received an appropriate diagnosis from a medical professional. If the prostate diagnosis is benign the ''flowing'' approach can be used. Mix the following herbal powders: Punarnava, Gokshura and Shilajit. Ingest just 1/4 teaspoon a day either dry or added to warm water. An alternative is to drink any one of horsetail, ginseng or hibiscus tea, consumign as much as you wish each day. All of these herbs should be available at your health food store or by mail order.

Reflexology

Reflexology is the pratice of directing energy toward specific pressure points in the body. Reflexology sessions begin with relaxing the total body then shifting the focus of the reflex to those areas of greatest need. For our purposes that would be the prostate, endocrine, pituitary, parathyroid, thyroid and adrenal glands as well as the pancreas with the reflex in the hands or feet. You can find reflexology charts that give you the reflex points at most health food stores or schedule a session with a professional reflexologist.

Food Therapy

The key to affecting positive change in the prostate by eating specific foods is including any foods high in zinc. The properties in zinc have been proven beneficial in shrinking an enlarged prostate. Take a daily supplement of zinc. In addition to a low-fat diet, particularly avoiding saturated fats, consider adding one or two tablespoons per day of flaxseed oil to your diet as well as pumpkin and sunflower seeds, both know for their high content of zinc.

Imagery

Imagery is closely associated to hypnosis, both practices incorporating positive visualization techniques to effect positive changes. Here is one exercise proven beneficial for our purposes here:

Close your eyes breathe out three times and imagine entering your body through any opening you choose. Find your prostate and examine it from every angle. Next, envision putting a thin golden net around the gland. This net has a drawstring that you can tighten. Cinch the drawstring so that the net is wrapped snugly around the prostate. As you do this, picture the prostate shrinking to its normal size. Then imagine using your other hand to massage your prostate. Sense that urine can now flow evenly and smoothly. The recommendation for this exercise is to practice it twice a day, three to five minutes per session for six cycles of 21 days on and 7 days off.

Hydrotherapy

A hot sitz bath comes highly recommended for the treatment of an inflammed prostate. Sit down in a tub filled with comfortably hot water to a depth of your navel. Soak for twenty to forty-five minutes and follow with a cold bath or shower. This treatment should be done once a day for thirty days or until the symptoms are gone.

Vitamin and Mineral Therapy The ideal vitamin and mineral treatment for prostate problems incorporates herbal medicine. The following regimen is recommended to help control symptoms:

a) 400 international units of Vitamin E per day b) 30 milligrams of zinc twice a day c) 1 milligram of copper twice a day d) One tablespoon of flaxseed oil a day e) 160 milligrams of saw palmetto twice a day.

Flaxseed oil and saw palmetto are easily obtainable in any health food store.

Yoga

Certain Yoga poses can increase blood flow to the groin, thereby relieving certain prostate problems. You can find books on Yoga that include these poses, as well as many others, at any herbal or homeopathic store. The two poses that will benefit prostate problems are the knee squeeze and the seated sun along with the stomach lock.

To do the stomach lock, lie on your back and take a deep breath. Breathe out until all air is expelled from your lungs, then pull in hard on your buttocks, groin and stomach muscles. Hold this pose for a count of three then release the muscles. It is recommended that this session is repeated two or three times a day, three times a session to help prevent prostate trouble. You should not use this yoga pose if you suffer from high blood pressure, hiatal hernia, ulcers or heart disease.

It must be perfectly understood that there is no substitute for your physician. These options are presented as just that. . .options and you should consult your physician before undertaking any new treatment options prostate BPH whether medical or homeopathic.

Get Rid Of Cellulite Become A Cellulite Reducer

How do you get back your smooth skin and get rid of cellulite?

Many women feel they have done everything possible to be in the best shape of their lives yet have difficulty with the cottage cheese, especially in the butt and thighs. No matter how great of shape your body is in (yes fit people have it too!), the remedy to get rid of cellulite is working from the inside out.

In the outer layer of skin, our fat cells store what we consume from meals. Simply put, bad fats!! Fat cells are in the entire body and are genetically predetermined as to where they are going to settle on the human body. Basically, the body does this in order to fend off starvation. Fat cells then release their contents in the form of acids and glycerol. Since starvation periods don't occur often, the body tends to store fatty contents in excess and we then gain weight.

Thus when fat cells increase in size and number, it creates cellulite by:

  • Putting pressure on the components that promote healthy connective tissues;

  • Storing fat, reducing good circulation and accumulating of liquids under the skin.

When this happens, accumulation of unhealthy toxins and liquids store and the tissue that binds our skin becomes swollen. Surprisingly, excess fat cells destroy elastin and collagen fibers making cellulite a painful experience when touched or placed under pressure.

How to be a Cellulite Reducer

In order to get rid of cellulite, you must mind the following:

  • Diet - Follow a healthy diet and avoid foods that produce unnecessary fat storage in the body.

  • Breathing - Proper breathing keeps oxygen flowing through the blood.

  • Exercise - Cardio stimulates the metabolism and any form of exercise, in particular weights, tone the skin and build healthy muscle tissue.

  • Get Rid of Waste and Toxins - Increasing fluid (mainly water) intake and moving urine flow through the body. The skin should be detoxified by sweating and perspiration (exercise/cardio)

  • Relaxation - Eliminate stress inside and out!

  • Massage - Get a rubdown on a regular basis to promote circulation to those areas that normally wouldn't have it. This will assist those areas in improving circulation.

To fight and get rid of cellulite, there must be dedication and consistent commitment. Many sources fight the battle and there is no miracle cellulite remedy as of today, however, it can be improved. It needs to be treated by eliminating the unhealthy habits we form as well as changing the lifestyle to prevent a future problem. Again, this can be coupled with cellulite targeted herbs, cream, lotion or gel to maximize the effects, but most importantly, always remember to treat the body from the inside out.

Stuttering Treatment

There are many types of treatment for people who have a stammer or stutter, this article describes some of them. Stuttering has gained a lot of coverage in the news over the last number of years with people like pop singer Gareth Gates highlighting the problems people who stutter have.

Speech therapy is the normal course of therapy people who stutter try. In my opinion this is useful however has limited power as the therapists themselves do not believe a stutter can be overcome. They are therefore merely helping people cope and from my own personal experience the main advice given, is to slow down when talking and to take a deep breath before speaking.

Hypnotherapy is another form of stuttering therapy. Success is no doubt largely dependant on the quality of the hypnotherapist involved. In my opinion stuttering is not only an emotional problem but also a physical problem and that hypnotherapy only deals with the emotional side.

Group speech courses is the next form of stuttering treatment. There are many of these type of courses which will either teach costal breathing, or slowed or prolonged speech. I think this form of stuttering help is better than the first two however I believe that every person is an individual and needs individual treatment with courses tailored to their individual needs.

One to one speech courses are for me the best form of treatment. There is nowhere to hide and the speech coach can really get to grips with the type of problem the person who has the stutter has. The speech coach can fully concentrate on that person for the duration of the course and a type of bond can form. This is the form of stuttering treatment which I believe is likely to prove the most beneficial and successful.

Stephen Hill is somebody who has overcome a stutter and who now helps other people to achieve fluency. He has a couple of websites at:

Acne Scar Solutions

Acne is a common skin infection that affects over 80% of youth and 5% of adults. When acne eventually heals, it leaves ugly blemishes called acne scars. These become permanent if they are not treated in time. Acne scars are damaging to the ego and personality of an individual, and a lot of time and money has been invested in research to treat this problem.

Acne scars are classified by size, shape and appearance they are identified as Icepick, Boxcar and Rolling. They are also tagged as early or permanent on the basis of their duration. Early scars respond well to topical medications. Permanent scars require surgical intervention. Presently, scars are treated with combinations of topical skin care medications in tandem with carefully selected surgical and skin resurfacing procedures.

At least a half dozen surgical procedures are also performed to repair acne scars. Each has benefits and pitfalls and a surgeon will closely examine the patient?s age, sex, medical history, skin type and type of scarring before agreeing to perform surgery. Cost is also discussed, as it can be quite expensive.

When dermal fillers are used, a surgeon will inject fillers such as collagen and hyaluronic acid derivatives into the skin. This raises the base of the scar to the level of normal skin. The ?punch excision? procedure is used in

icepick and boxcar type scars and relies on making incisions in the skin with a punch biopsy tool and stitching the skin edges together. The new scar heals, leaving a clear skin. Punch excision with skin graft replacement is a variant of the punch excision method. Instead of suturing the skin after excision, surgeons use a skin graft to repair the scar. Punch elevation is used on deep boxcar scars that have sharp edges and normal appearing bases. Here the base of the scar is excised and elevated to the surface of the skin. Sutures and glue are used to join the edges together. Subcutaneous Incision is used for treating rolling scars and centers on the use of a special beveled needle that is inserted under the skin and used to cut the binding tissue in the scar. The resulting bruises fade after about 1 week. Laser resurfacing is used to burn the top layer of the skin and reduce it to the same level as the base of the scars.

Prevention is always better than cure. Simple precautions such as avoiding strong sunlight, using medications like tretinoin and alpha hydroxyl acids, avoiding picking scabs, regular exercising and dietary control go a long way in preventing acne scars and saving a lot of embarrassment and expenses.

Mesothelioma Pleural Symptoms

Mesothelioma Pleural or Pleural Mesothelioma is generally a severe form of cancer that affects the membrane lining in the thoracic cavity. There are a few benign cases as well. The inhaling of asbestos dust either during the mining or manufacturing or handling of the material or from the systems and applications in which it is used is believed to be cause of this sickness.

The latency period, that is, the time taken for the symptoms to manifest, is anywhere from twenty to forty years. The time lag may even extend to fifty years. Because of this, most patients diagnosed with this disease are in the age group of sixties or seventies. Some may not even remember their exposure to asbestos. By the time the warning signs are noticed and correctly diagnosed, the disease may be in an advanced stage where treatment could be non-effectual.

Unfortunately, mesothelioma pleural doesn?t have any distinctive symptoms that prima facie identify the disease. The usual indications are dyspnea (shortness of breath), persistent coughing, disphagia (difficulty in swallowing), and tightness in chest accompanied by chest pain. Some patients may develop swelling of the neck, face and arms. This may indicate that the mesothelioma has spread. There could also be wheezing, hoarseness, fever and sweating, fatigue, sensory loss and nausea. At the advanced stage there may be hymoptysis (coughing up of blood).

The symptoms are mainly caused by effusion, which in this case means fluid collection in the thoracic area. Also, the delicate membrane covering the lungs may thicken and thus reduce expansion and contraction. In certain cases no perceptible signs may show till the cancer has spread beyond control.

Out of the symptoms of mesothelioma pleural the major ones are shortness of breath (90%) and weight loss (29%). About 84% of patients have pleural effusions (fluid collection).

Pleural Mesothelioma provides detailed information on Malignant Diffuse Pleural Mesothelioma, Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma, Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Survival Rate, Mesothelioma Pleural Brachytherapy and more. Pleural Mesothelioma is affiliated with Peritoneal Mesothelioma Lawyers.

Exercise The Right Way Dumbbell Lunges

Other articles in this series looked at a number of exercises, mainly from the perspective of developing a comprehensive muscle building program. Sometimes we take things for granted, especially when it comes to performing the basic exercises that constitute the core of most bodybuilders' training regimes.

It is useful, therefore, to describe in detail the processes involved in actually doing these exercises. This will help beginners to start out using the correct techniques before moving on to potentially more dangerous heavy weights. If it also helps more experienced lifters to redress some of the little faults that have almost imperceptibly crept in over the years, all the better.

In this article we'll take a close look at dumbbell lunges.

MUSCLES TARGETED: quadriceps, gluteals, hamstrings

STARTING POSITION

Stand with feet flat and placed less than shoulder width with toes pointed slightly outward.

Hold a dumbbell in each hand with the hands facing inwards.

EXERCISE TECHNIQUE

Step forward, keeping the back straight.

Bend the knee of the lead leg until it reaches a 90 degree angle. The knee of your back leg should be roughly two or three inches off the ground at this point.

Push forcefully with your lead leg and return to the starting position.

Repeat the exercise with your other leg and continue to alternate until you reach the intended number of repetitions.

You should note that varying the length of the step will change the emphasis of this exercise. A longer step will place greater emphasis on the hamstring and gluteal muscles. A shorter step will place greater emphasis on the quadriceps muscles.

OTHER EXERCISES WORTH CONSIDERING

A similar effect can be achieved by performing Barbell Lunges.

Understanding the Worst Acid Reflux symptoms One Can Get

Acid reflux is an annoying condition as it gives one constant pain and discomfort. But it is amazing how some people can endure the pain and let the condition itself get worse, without seeking any medical attention. Here, let us look at the worst acid reflux symptom one can finally get. Well, hopefully after reading this, no one will ever neglect their health and allow their body to deteriorate till such serious stage.

If one do not go for medical attention, they would experience esophageal acid exposure. It is typically more frequent during the day than at night, and always the case after meals. So those who are working will have trouble concentrating while having constant pain during working hour. Irritation and injury of esophageal tissue can take place right after a meal as the acid is released from stomach for digestion. The stomach acid will flow upwards and splash onto the esophagus as the esophageal sphincter relax. One will definitely lose appetite as the thought of pain after a meal will cause one to lose any mood for food.

Worst still, heartburn tends to rear its ugly head at night. During bedtime as you lie down to sleep, you shift the stomach to a sideways position, opening up the esophageal sphincter and allow all the food in the stomach to flow back out. Obviously, this will cause sleeplessness and unease, causing one to lose sleep and wake up the next day with a tired spirit.

So what can you do about it? First, I would advise that if you smoke, it is time to quit smoking. Tobacco inhibits saliva, which is essential to help coat and protect the esophagus. Tobacco also stimulates stomach acid production which is definitely undesirable, and it also makes the esophageal sphincter weak, causing acid to splash up and irritate the esophagus.

Hence the key to relief of acid reflux is to suppress the stomach acid and keep it from irritating the esophageal tissue. So when you have any acid reflux symptoms, do seek medical help soonest possible. Acid reflux is usually treated with combination of diet and lifestyle changes, over the counter medications, or in more serious cases, surgery.

Acid reflux can affect our life and cause a lot of problems in health and in our daily life. So start seeking help before you get the worst acid reflux symptoms.

Children and Ringworm

Ringworm is a common malady that affects children of all ages (as well as adults and pets.) Children can acquire ringworm from coming into contact with an infected person or the belongings of an infected person. Ringworm can also be caught by walking barefoot on soil and touching infected animals and pets.

To keep your child safe from ringworm, take the following precautions: Do not allow your child to use anyone else's towels, hairbrushes, hats or shoes.

If any of your child's classmates or siblings are infected with ringworm, make sure your child does not touch the infected person or any of their belongings.

Make sure your child wears flip flops, water shoes or waterproof sandals when in public showers and pools.

Never allow your child to go barefoot outdoors.

If you are concerned that your child may have ringworm, you need to know what to look for. Ringworm of the skin starts as a patchy rash which develops into a red ring on the skin. A ringworm infestation of the scalp first causes scaly red patches that may become crusty and cause hair loss. Ringworm of the feet, also known as ?athlete's foot? causes a dry, itchy rash to form on the feet, most commonly between the toes. And ringworm of the nails leads to discolored, thick, crumbly nails.

Catching ringworm early is crucial to preventing unnecessary side effects (such as permanent hair loss with scalp infestation) and discomfort. Ringworm can be treated by topical creams or orally administered medications. You can find over the counter treatments that can be good in eradicating ringworm, or you can take your child to the pediatrician and request a prescription.

Stephen Binder is a dermatologist and in his spare time publishes informational articles on various skin conditions such as ringworm. Stephen endorses fungrx as the fastest cure for ringworm, more information can be found at http://www.theringwormsite.com

Getting Hair Extensions Step 6 of 6

You have done all of your research and are now ready to go to your hair extension appointment. Your stylist should tell you about how long it will take and whether you should bring anything, i.e. small lunch, books or magazines to read, etc.

If you are unhappy about the color of the extensions, you should mention it right away-early in that attachment process. It may be easier for the stylist to change a color when the hair extensions are not attached to your head.

Hair extensions attachment should not physically hurt you. If your stylist is using a braiding/sew-in method, it is possible to get the braids too tight. This will result in tension and additional stress at the scalp, resulting in scalp soreness and possibly your natural hair falling out.

As far as tipping is concerned, you should tip your stylist for his/her time and the quality of the work they have done. Tips for hair extension services can range from 0-15% of the total price for the service.

Be sure to ask very specific questions about how to take care of your hair extensions? What shampoos, conditioners should you use, can you comb/brush the hair, can you air-dry your hair after you wash it, can you go swimming, can you perm or color the hair, etc.

Improper maintenance of the hair extensions can shorten their life.

Good Luck with your hair extensions!!! Drop us an Email at editor@hairresources.com with some before/after photos and your experience with hair extensions. We count on your input to provide useful information to others that want hair extensions.

Holiday Weight Loss Thanksgiving and Christmas Don't Have To Ruin Your New Year

For many people, trying to diet during the holidays is like trying to find the perfect Christmas gift for Aunt Edna: almost impossible. No diet pill or weight loss program can overcome the irresistible draw of fudge, eggnog and candy canes. So what?s a weight watcher to do? Is there any hope for holiday weight loss, or are we destined to add some more pounds before the inevitable New Years resolution?

Conventional wisdom is that most people gain from five to ten pounds of fat during the holidays. Happily, that much at least appears to be false. However, Americans do tend to gain some weight during this time of year: ?Previous studies suggested that Americans gain an average of 0.4 to 1.8 pounds each year during their adult lives? (source: nichd.nih.gov). What?s alarming is that although we?re putting on fewer pounds during the holidays than we had previously thought we?re not taking that extra weight back off.

?Researchers now say they have some good news for us -- and some bad news. The good news? Most of us gain less weight over the winter holidays than we think, only one pound on average. The bad news? We never take it off? (source: archives.cnn.com).

Dr. Yanovski has conducted extensive research on weight gain. Although an average holiday weight gain of less than a pound may seem unimportant, that weight was not lost over the remainder of the year, Dr. Yanovski said. When 165 of the study volunteers were weighed a year after the study began, they had not lost the extra weight gained during the holidays, and ended the year a pound and a half heavier (1.4 lb) than they were the year before? (source: nichd.nih.gov).

Permanent holiday weight gain isn?t a pleasant thought for most of us, especially since the number one New Year resolution is fast weight loss. As reported by mygoals.com, 80 percent of Americans made a New Year resolution in 2005. A whopping 26 percent of those resolutions were to improve overall health and fitness, making this the top category for self-improvement. This year was no anomaly, either, according to Amy O'Connor, deputy editor of Prevention magazine: Fifty-nine million people every year resolve to lose weight.

So what can we do to maintain some degree of weight control this season? Is there anything we can do to stick to our weight loss plan, or perhaps even achieve some quick weight loss, in the midst of all that Christmas cheer?

Thankfully, the answer is yes. But it will require a two-pronged approach. First, we need to maintain a healthy diet plan despite all the holiday temptation. Second, it is absolutely critical that we keep exercising throughout the Yuletide season. So without further ado, let?s take a look at some diet information that may help us maintain our ideal weight this year.

Healthy Holiday Food Tips:

1) At holiday parties, provide or bring veggie trays instead of traditional meat and cheese platters, which are much higher in fat. Reduced fat salad dressing makes a great veggie dip, and when used in place of the full-fat version will save you at least 70 calories per serving.

2) When it comes to holiday desserts, replace the typical pies with fruit or yogurt parfait.

3) Cut back on alcoholic drinks and drink water, fruit juice or diet soda instead. An 8-ounce eggnog with rum contains 450 calories, about 25 percent of what the average woman should have in an entire day! The average alcoholic drink contains 150-200 calories per glass. Not only does alcohol pack a lot of empty calories, but over-consumption lowers inhibitions and self-control?..not a good combination when you?re near the buffet table!

4) Be sure to eat a healthy, high-protein snack before going to that holiday party or dinner. The protein will help you feel full longer and stabilize blood sugars. You?ll be less likely to binge, and overall calorie consumption will fall.

5) It seems that at every holiday party there is a group that congregates near the buffet table to talk. Don?t be part of that group!

6) Out of sight is out of mind. If you have a stockpile of Christmas candy at home (only for guests, of course!), hide it in a cupboard. You?ll be much less likely to graze on it throughout the day. Keep a bowl of fresh fruit on the counter instead.

7) Avoid temptation. If the breakroom at work is full of holiday treats throughout November and December, consider taking breaks at your desk. Even better, use that time to take a walk down the street or simply around the office building.

8) On the day of the party or big family feast, don?t starve yourself prior to the banquet. That will only leave you so famished that you overindulge. Instead, eat small high-protein meals or snacks every three to four hours before the big dinner.

9) If you?re serving stuffing with the turkey this year, cook the stuffing separately. This will prevent the fat from the turkey from soaking into the dressing, which will dramatically lower the calories.

10) All turkey is not equal. Choose light meat instead of dark meat and you?ll save a lot of calories. A 3 1/2 ounce serving of sliced meat from a whole roasted turkey has either 161 calories (white meat without skin) or 192 calories (dark meat without skin).

11) Speaking of turkey, don?t forget to trim off the skin before serving it up! You?ll save 33 to 40 calories and 4 or 5 grams of fat per serving (source: urbanext.uiuc.edu).

12) Make the gravy in advance so you have time to put it in the refrigerator. As it cools, the fat will rise to the top and solidify, allowing you to skim it off with a spoon and put it where it belongs: in the trash!

13) Don?t rush the meal. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to signal the brain that you?re full, so any meal should last at least that long! Take your time, eat slowly, and enjoy your family and friends.

14) Wear ?skinny? clothes to that holiday party as a reminder to watch what you eat. Snug, tight clothes don?t leave much room for bingeing!

15) When confronted with a buffet table, make your first trip count. Pile up your plate with fresh vegetables, lean meats and other low calorie options. Eat as much healthy food as you can! This will dramatically lower the amount of desserts you?ll later take and will result in a healthier meal overall.

16) When filling up plates for the kids, only give them what they can eat. It?s too tempting to just ?finish off? those leftovers for them. Moms, you know what we?re talking about here!

17) Follow the ?Dessert Split? plan: Go ahead and take something from the dessert table, but split it with a friend. If you must taste two desserts, split them with two friends. If you feel the need to sample three desserts, split them with three friends. You get the idea. That way you?ll get to taste all the new foods and recipes without completely breaking the calorie budget.

18) When cooking, use evaporated milk straight from the can instead of heavy cream.

19) When baking, three tablespoons will substitute nicely for 1 ounce of unsweetened chocolate.

20) When baking, substitute two egg whites in the place of one whole egg.

21) When baking, substitute unsweetened applesauce for an equal amount of oil.

22) For desserts, don?t forget to use non-fat frozen yogurt where you would normally use ice cream.

23) Don?t attempt to deprive yourself of your absolute favorite food. This only sets you up for a disappointing binge. Instead, allow yourself one small serving of your preferred treat and really savor it.

Just watching your diet alone won?t lead to easy weight loss. For true fat loss, it is critical that you incorporate regular exercise into the holiday routine.

Again referring to Dr. Yanovski?s holiday weight loss study, we can confirm the important of exercise. The finding that study volunteers reporting more physical activity had less holiday weight gain suggests that increasing physical activity may be an effective method for preventing weight gain during this high-risk time (source: nichd.nih.gov).

Traditional holiday activities don?t even come close to solving this weight issue. The popular ?after dinner nap? burns only about 34 calories for every thirty minutes asleep. Watching television, that great American holiday pastime, burns just 37 calories every thirty minutes. Even sitting down and eating burns more calories than that (56 calories burned every thirty minutes). Clearly, our favorite holiday activities don?t make the best weight loss program (source: caloriesperhour.com).

Only regular and consistent exercise, combined with a low fat diet, will get us the holiday weight loss results we?re seeking. Don?t have the time or urging to exercise? Take a look at this list of the top ten ways to get some holiday exercise without being a humbug:

Holiday Exercise Tips:

1) It?s beautiful outside during the holidays! Take a walk outside, down the street or around the block. Take a walking tour of Christmas lights in the neighborhood. A 165 lb. woman walking for 30 minutes will burn approximately 187 calories (source: caloriesperhour.com).

2) Going shopping this Christmas season? Who isn?t? Park as far away from the entrance as possible so you?ll be forced to walk further. Remember, every little bit adds up!

3) Investigate a new shopping mall. You?re going shopping anyway, so why not get some extra exercise in the process? Find a mall you?ve never been to before and make it a point to walk up and down every single staircase. While you?re at it, walk past every single store too.

4) Failing to plan is planning to fail. Right now, before the holiday get crazy, make a plan to get into the gym. Thinking you?ll ?get around to it? just doesn?t happen when there are gifts to buy, foods to prepare, and family to visit. Make a plan, write it down, and stick to it.

5) Don?t fall into the ?all or nothing? trap. If you?ve missed a few visits to the gym already this week, don?t give up until New Years! Instead, get in there and exercise now ? even if it?s just once. Some exercise is always better than none at all.

6) When you?re really short on motivation or time, try to get at least ten minutes of exercise. Chances are, once you get started you?ll finish up with the recommended thirty minutes. Even if you do quit after ten minutes, that's still a lot better than zero!

7) Get in a good solid exercise session right before a big meal. It will increase your will power and your metabolism.

8) Don?t pay the neighbor kid to shovel off the walk for you ? do it yourself! You?ll save a few bucks and burn about 225 calories for every thirty minutes of shoveling (source: caloriesperhour.com).

9) Clean the house! Hey, you need to get ready for the annual family visit anyway. Vigorous house cleaning burns about 150 calories every thirty minutes (source: caloriesperhour.com).

10) Find a workout buddy. Pick a good friend or family member that also wants to lose weight fast, and together make a commitment to exercise regularly. You might even want to buy each other a gift certificate for a local gym as a Christmas gift!

There?s no doubt that healthy weight loss during the holidays is difficult, but it is certainly not impossible. Follow a sensible weight loss diet, remember to exercise regularly, and this year you?ll be smiling like Santa instead of grimacing like the Grinch!
