The Underlying Cause of Emotional Eating http://learntruehealth.com/emotional-eating-tricia-nelson Emotional Eating is common especially when you are stressed.  However, most people do not realize this leads to very serious health disorders. American Psychological Association (APA) reports that majority of American adults are overweight or obese. Hence, the risk for Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease is increased. Furthermore, the research reveals a connection between stress and emotional eating. Bodies store more fat than when people are stressed.  In addition to that, cravings are usually for sweet and fatty foods.  As a result, people feel lazy or sluggish. Thirty-eight percent of adults say they have overeaten or eaten unhealthy foods in the past month because of stress. Half of these adults report engaging in these behaviors weekly or more. Thirty-three percent of adults blame it on stress while twenty-seven percent say they eat to manage stress. On the other hand, thirty-four percen

The Ethical Stem Cell Therapy Solution http://learntruehealth.com/stem-cell-therapy How's stem cell therapy done? Did you know that after the age of 20, your stem cell population drop off so considerably; that by the time you're 50's and up, you have virtually no stem cell at all? Dr. Dennis Courtney has a passion for teaching and informing. He is excited to help people learn the truth about their health options and "lose their vulnerability" to stem cell misinformation. According to Dennis, every single one of us has stem cells in our bodies. There are over 600 stem cell clinics in the USA and about 99.9% of these clinics use autologous stem cells. An Autologous stem cell means that the stem cell is coming from a person and is giving it back to that same person. Thus, the individual, in other words, is both the donor and recipient of the cell. "There are two observations can be made to sum up the current stem cell climate in the USA: 1. The public is confused about stem cells and doesn't know it. 2. The med

Emotional Eating VS. Mindful Eating Lisa's personal struggle with emotional eating started when she left her home and headed off to college. The absence of a family to watch her eating habits led to uncontrollable eating and quick weight gain. Lisa had gone on and off in trying different crazy food diets, and up and down in keeping the same weight.

Accurate results are achieved when food sensitivity testing procedures are up-to-date.   I recently went to Bastyr University, the Naturopathic school here just outside of Seattle, Washington. They're holding a continuing education conference and my Naturopathic friends here told me that I should show up and see if I could interview some interesting people and I did.  I also got to interview two of the labs.
