As obesity becomes an increasing concern around the world, American scientists have been trying to determine the preliminary precautions toward finding a potential cure. Therefore, new information is being revealed every day about the disease. While some of the findings aim to shape people's nutritional habits, some hint at certain clues that will change people's lifestyles. Here are a few clues to help you finish the summer in a fit state.

Add vinegar to your salads and soups

The latest research shows that vinegar has a positive impact on cholesterol and lipodiosis in the blood. Balsamic vinegar also triggers fat burning genes and is much richer than asedic acid and thus, helps you lose weight. While you should not directly consume vinegar, you can enrich your salads and soups with just two spoonfuls of vinegar.

Sauerkraut can help you lose weight

Even though it sounds weird, pickled cabbage is one of the main foods that helps people lose weight. Known as sauerkraut, or pickled cabbage, it helps with weight loss and includes lactobacillusplantarum bacteria, which helps the body produce good bacteria in the intestines and digestive system. If you are not consuming yogurt along with your meals, try serving sauerkraut as a side dish.

Endless benefits of ginger

Just like many other spices, ginger is a "medicine" used to treat inflammatory diseases, muscle pain, harmful intestinal bacteria, digestive system and fatigue. Widely used in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, research has proven that the traditions of people who lived thousands of years ago were effective and ginger is known to have anti-inflammatory effects. It can also treat calcification along with sore throats and colds. Ginger is even effective in treating muscle pain and calcification. When compressed it seriously helps calcification pain as proven by research. Another benefit of ginger is that it helps in losing weight. Research conducted at Columbia University has revealed that adding a spoonful of ground ginger to a glass of hot water helps create the feeling of being full.

Fresh ginger is a food that can easily spoil and mold. Therefore, you have to consume it quickly and while it is fresh. If you want to add ginger to your food, you need to do it right before taking your food off the stove and when it is cooked with oil for a long time, it leaves its essence and aroma.

Mustard instead of mayo

Use mustard instead of mayonnaise. Research shows that if you replace your normal amount of mayonnaise with mustard you will reduce your caloric intake by 85 calories.

Consume cinnamon

It has been proven that cinnamon helps regulate your blood sugar levels and is used by diabetics. Recent research has proven the health benefits of eating cinnamon. In addition to it being anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, cinnamon also has been revealed as a spice that helps lower the risk of heart and coronary diseases. It is also effective in treating cytolysis and abnormal growths. It is also a good natural way to fight cancer. Consuming three to six grams of cinnamon daily can also make you feel full and help you lose weight.

Chew slowly

According to research, fast consumption of food leads often leads to overeating. Chewing your food twice as long as you normally do can help make you feel full sooner.

Don't sit still

According to Mayo Clinic research, people who fidget burn 350 more calories during the day compared to their colleagues. In order to burn an additional 150 calories, go window shopping during your lunch break.

Useful tips:

Eat red pepper flakes in the mornings. Research shows that starting the day with a full stomach can prolong your time of feeling full. If you consume red pepper flakes for breakfast it will decrease your desire for food for the rest of the day.Use smaller plates. Using children's plates with a width of 22 centimeters (8.6 inches) are actually large enough for a portion of food that will make an adult feel full.Remove sugar, crme and caffeine from your coffee. Decaf coffee has lower calories and also helps you to suppress your hunger.Add cinnamon to fruits such as bananas and melons.Don't skip breakfast. Research shows that people who eat breakfast regularly have a higher metabolism.Eat an apple before meals. Apples are high in fiber and are one of the most important things for maintaining a healthy digestive system. Eating apples before meals will help you feel less hungry and help your digestion.Instead of constantly calculating calories and grams, it is more efficient to calculate your waist circumference. The target for women is below 82.5 centimeters and 80 centimeters for men.Consume full wheat pasta. Research shows that wheat pasta makes you feel full longer and is healthier.Do not turn your targets into numbers as it has been proven that people who aim at wearing a smaller size is more successful at losing weight.If you cannot lose weight any more, try exercising and extend your exercises for five minutes.Turn your kitchen into an orchard. Plant green plants in cups in your kitchen. Therefore, you will have green plants in front of your eyes and it will enter into all of your meals.

Things to do to stay healthy:

Research proves that beans, which are high in protein, also help you feel full.Mushrooms soy with low sodium and asparagus keeps you full.Avocado is one of your friends on the way to losing weight. In addition, with the good oils it contains it is also ideal for those looking to lose weight.The right posture is important. Standing or sitting with the wrong posture might make you look fatter than you actually are. This way, your muscles will work without you even noticing and you will burn calories.Do yoga. While it seems like a calm, stationary sport from afar, if you do yoga everyday for half an hour, you will burn 350 calories.Do you feel like you are in for a snack? Lie down on the nearest chair or sofa. Experts believe that this movement minimizes the urge to eat unhealthy snacks.Instead of fried potatoes, eat baked potatoes. Instead of deeply fried potatoes, turn them into wedge potatoes without peeling the skin and adding spices and olive oil and cook them at 450 degrees Farenheit (232 degrees Celsius).Fruit that has to too much water such as melons, tomatoes and celery keep you full.Move. Park your car a bit further when you are around a shopping center and similar places. Also, avoid using elevators and use the stairs, which will help you burn more calories.The Mediterranean diet is a friend for the heart. Food that is good for your coronary system also helps you to lose weight.Get some protein at every meal. For those who want to lose weight, protein is much better than carbohydrates and fat.

Fitness model, Sarah Stage, took to Instagram last week to show off what she does to stay fit and healthy while pregnant. However, in addition to her impressive fitness routine, Stage took some time to let off steam about the hate she has been receiving for her toned body.

NUDE BLOGGER'S INSTAGRAM DEACTIVATED WITHOUT WARNING, SHE CLAIMS

As Im nearing #8months Ive wanted to share whats been on my mind. Since Ive announced my second pregnancy, Ive had certain Instagram medical experts tell me what I should and shouldnt do. And while I find some of the comments hilarious, I choose to only listen to my OBGYN and of course I also listen to MY body, she posted on her Instagram.

Stage, who has posted several photos on social media chronicling her pregnancy journey, has received a lot of flak about her perceived selfishness. Many have said the 33-year-old is harming her baby in her workouts. Other have claimed that she is only interested in her looks.

There are also some people who assume that since I am exercising while pregnant, that I'm obsessed with how I look but in fact I'm obsessed with maintaining a healthy lifestyle that will give my baby and myself the best possible quality of life.

FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK FOR MORE FOX LIFESTYLE NEWS

Stage is used to making headlines for her fit pregnancies. When she was pregnant with her first child, James Hunter who can be seen running around in the video Stage posted a baby bump selfie taken ten days before her due date. The photo led to a fury of social media comments from people who couldnt believe how small her stomach was.

This pregnancy has solicited the same outcry. However, the model continues to defend her choices to stay active while she is expecting, stating that she only does whats best for her growing baby.

If something feels off, I dont do it! she says. Clearly, I have greatly reduced the intensity of my workouts and stick to at home exercises from my Fitness Ebook 2-3x a week.

Stage and her message serve as a healthy reminder that not all pregnancies are the same and with her happy, healthy son bounding around in her video, she shows that shes doing what is right for her body.

Dietreich Rios (Ojibwa) and Matt Hawk (Suquamish), of Real Native Fitness, a not-for-profit organization with a focus on empowering native youth through fitness and health, will be in Neah Bay on Aug 22-23, 2017. The co-ed camp will take place from 11 a.m. 12:30 p.m. for grades 1-6 and 1 p.m. 4 p.m. for Middle and High School youth and take place at the Makah Community Gym. The camp is free as costs have been covered by local sponsors.

The basics of the basketball game as well as the importance of leadership both on and off the court, and an emphasis of hard work and dedication will be covered during the two days of camp. While this is not the first camp Rios and Hawk have hosted, it is the second as a non-profit organization. The two are looking forward to hitting the long and winding road and getting to know more of the Neah Bay youth this coming week. Community members with an interest in volunteering during the camps are always welcomed to work with the pair.

Matt and Deitreich grew up together on the Suquamish Indian Reservation, playing basketball while in High School, as well as together at Olympic College. It was then the two went on different paths, Deitreich running his own personal training business, Matt pursuing a business degree and returning to Suquamish to oversee business operations for the gas stations and shops. While running his personal training business Dietreich has worked with NBA talent, collegiate, high school, as well as with youth and elders. He has traveled across the country and into Canada hosting fitness, basketball and health camps for tribes and tribal nations.

The mission of Real Native Fitness encompasses health and physical fitness education as well as setting realistic healthy goals for personal improvement. Using basketball as a means of reaching youth, topics such as social interaction, teamwork and leadership will be included to inspire confidence, self-esteem and healthy lifestyles. Their vision is to uplift and empower a healthy lifestyle that improves quality of life today, tomorrow, and for future generations.

While fitness is key, Rios other interests include music, gaming and hes active on social media. He stated that Being versatile and striking a balance in life is important. Its not all about basketball all the time, its about how we keep ourselves healthy on all levels, relate to one another, work as a team. The message will be clear during the camp on both days being healthy of body and mind, having a game plan and working hard to achieve goals and exceed expectations makes a difference. The Rios/Hawk duo would like to have a positive impact on the communities they reach and would like to see healthy, active lifestyles become something that the whole community embraces from youth to our valued elders.

GALESBURG Maximum Performance hasmade its move from 169 N. Broad St. to the former Northgate Racquetball Club at 1600 N. Henderson St. in Galesburg. Owners Art and Meridith Pitsonbarger are excited about what the move means for the community and their members.

We are now really able to turn what was a gym into a complete fitness center, Art explained. There is more variety overall for all ages and capabilities.

Maximum Performance now has three racquetball courts, including one that converts into half a basketball court, saunas in both the womens and mens locker rooms, and a stand-up tanning bed to accompany their regular tanning bed. The fitness center also features new paint, rubber impact flooring throughout, and brand-new heat and central-air units.

The additional square footage plays a big role in the Pitsonbargers ability to expand their services.

We really offer much more to our members, Meridith said. There was equipment we already had but didnt have the space for it. Now we can let members use it.

The Pitsonbargers said they have more room for their cross-training equipment (such as a Rogue rig, jump boxes and rings), strongman equipment and additional cardio machines.

The new Maximum Performance is spread out in separate rooms of use throughout the two-floor facility. And, because they now have more to offer, the Pitsonbargers offer a free introductory class on the cable weights and cardio machine equipment and tours of the fitness center.

We walk through everything with you so you know where things are at and how to use them, Meridith said.

They offer unlimited group fitness classes, such as Spartacus, Vinyasa Yoga, CRT (Cardio, Rhythm, Tone), Insanity, Core and Dance Fitness. They are preparing to run a three-week Back Room Basics introductory course with Melissa Patterson starting Sept. 4. The one-hour sessions will run at 6 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and will cover weight lifting, gymnastics and metabolic conditioning.

We want to continue to add more classes, anything from mild to wild, Art said.

Additions in the works will include womens self-defense classes instructed by Beau Admire, spin classes and strongman training.

We are also planning an outdoor strongman training fitness area, Art said. He said they will have features such as tires, ropes, dumbbells and monkey bars.

Maximum Performance continues to offer a referral program, free towel service, no signup fees, key fobs for 24-hour access, day passes, week passes, punch cards, unlimited tanning plans, locker rooms and showers, and a free baby-sitting service (Monday through Thursday, 4 to 7 p.m).

There is no age limit on our baby-sitting services, Meridith added. We have toys for all ages, pingpong, jumbo bowling, puzzles, coloring and chalkboard walls coming soon.

Dayna Soper, licensed massage therapist, also made the move with them and continues to offer services in her massage room by appointment.

Maximum Performance also offers a variety of supplements on hand for members, including locally produced protein bars from Abingdon local Vance Swope of Inspire Fitness and Nutrition.

The Pitsonbargers strive for a community outlook, welcoming Galesburg High School off-season training, National Guard units coming in monthly for free, and corporate rates for employees from businesses such as BNSF, Wal-Mart, Dick Blick, Smithfield Foods, Hy-Vee, Gates and people in the military and medical fields.

The gym is a participating location with Healthways and SilverSneakers Fitness, a well-being program for those 65 and older.

Art and Meridith worked for a quick-as-possible transition from their old location to the new one, and they did not close during the transition.

We really try to cater to our members needs, Meridith said. Most gyms would have shut down during the process, but we didnt want to do that to our members.

And they didnt do it alone.

We had members helping and volunteering to move equipment every day, Art said. It was amazing.

The Galesburg Area Chamber of Commerce will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 30, at Maximum Performance. The public event will include a raffle for items, a 50/50 drawing, and cake and energy bites.

With other present and future fitness facilities in the Galesburg area, the Pitsonbargers encourage the community to come see what sets them apart.

We are a community versus a corporation, Art said. We encourage people to support local businesses. We care about our members and we focus on giving a personal touch instead of a business quota. We are a family.

BENTONVILLE -- Benton County sheriff's deputies and juvenile justice officials are teaming with fitness experts to mentor youths in the county.

The fitness and mentoring program is called THOR, which stands for training, health, opportunity and responsibility, Sheriff Shawn Holloway said.

The judge can give the youths "a clean slate" if they successfully complete the program, giving them a chance to turn their lives around, Holloway said.

Circuit Judge Tom Smith presides over juvenile court in Benton County. Thirteen youths ranging from 14 to 17 years old have volunteered to participate in the program.

Smith said some of the teens will be released from probation if they successfully complete the program. All the teens will get credit for their community service and fines upon completion, Smith said.

Holloway and some of his deputies are assisting with the program.

"I think that we can give a skill set that these young men can carry throughout their lives," Holloway said. "Hopefully, we make a difference in their lives."

The first class is made up of only boys, and Smith said the goal is to include girls in the next class.

Classes began earlier this month. The parents also meet for skills training with members of the juvenile justice team.

Smith said the class will meet twice a week for a few weeks before moving to three times a week.

"I believe it will be successful," Smith said. "It's a way for the kids to be mentored by deputies and trainers while working out."

Lee Kelly and his wife, Jennifer, owners of CrossFit NWA, are serving as coaches.

"You have to give it your all," Lee Kelly told the class at the first meeting. "You have to give it 110 percent. Have fun with it, and it's going to hurt, but you will be pleased by the results at the end of the program."

The classes are held in the gym at the Benton County sheriff's office.

"It will get them off the couch and playing video games," Smith said.

The program will also build relationships by allowing the boys to have interactions with law enforcement in a positive setting, Smith said.

One 15-year-old boy said he chose the program instead of community service.

"I saw a chance for me to get fit," he said. "I would much rather be here than out picking up trash."

Smith said he's excited the boys volunteered for the program instead of being ordered to participate.

Mike Rush with Rush Running Co. donated a pair of tennis shoes to each boy. Rush also will serve as a coach for the running portion of the program.

Smith said he hopes the boys also learn skills that will help them have successful lives. He believes the program could be a model for other sheriff's offices and juvenile courts.

"It's important that we help these kids right now," he said. "If we don't help them now, then the next level is the adult system, and no one wants that."

Bella Vista, AR -- - For some, fitness is a way of life. Others workout just for fun. But one Bella Vista man is combining them both.

"I just wanted to start a free bootcamp for people just to get them out, to exercise, to have a good time." Scottie Melo, the starter of Melo Motivation, said.

Scottie Melo started Melo Motivation exactly two years Sunday at Bella Vista Lake park. Melo started the group all because a friend from church asked him for help.

"I went to him one day and said, I want to lose some weight man, can you help me out? And he said sure and we came out here started." Adrain Broadus, one Melo Motivation participant, said.

What started with just one person has now turned into dozens of people. One of those is Michael Clark who served in the marines. Clark said 6 years ago he became disabled but thanks to MeloMotivation his life is now changed.

"I've had nerve damage running down my legs and horrible pain in my feet and with this workout with Scottie, I'm about 90% pain free and I feel wonderful. At 61 I really feel like I'm 41."

The fitness group meets three times a week ranging from 45 minutes to an hour in a high intensity workout. Clark said thanks to Melo Motivation, he is now able to do things that he wouldn't be able to otherwise.

"It's all great except for the burpees, I hate the burpees. I hate running but Scottie's got me to run half marathons and 5ks. Five years ago I probably couldn't have run."

Melo said the goal for participants is to get a great workout in and have fun while doing it.

Weight loss can be kick started by many things but one Imgur user shared his journey, telling the social sharing site he "wanted a change" after seeing his picture.

User going by the moniker Theguythatdoesthething said: "I was at 210 lbs and ate terrible all the time, I was also into drinking and just overall did not care.

"After looking in the mirror the night I took this pic I decided I was over it and wanted a change."

He took another snap just 16 weeks later documenting his simply incredible change.

The brunette was notably more toned, confident and willing to share his story.

He said: "I have lost 40 lbs in the course of 4 months. I have changed my eating habits, no more fast food, I've been sober for 3 months. The only liquid I take in is water now.

"I am no where near what I want to be but I feel so much better both physically and mentally.

"I had my reservations about posting this but wanted to show that you can lose weight and get into shape if you put your mind to it."

After posing the picture online he came back to the post and added an 'edit', explaining other users had been asking exactly how he dropped the weight so quickly.

He explained for the first eight weeks "it was nothing but treadmill" - he said he worked out on the treadmill Monday to Friday and ran on the roads on the weekends.

The now-buff man said he stopped eating fast food, junk food, stopped drinking fizzy drinks and beer; he only drinks water.

Explaining his diet, the gentleman said for breakfast he eats two eggs and possibly steak. For lunch and dinner he alternates variations of grilled chicken and vegetables.

This is how important eating breakfast is for your health and diet.

Now he lives on a low to no-carb diet where he eats as much meat as he wants - and at least six times a day.

He does this six days a week with a dedicated cheat day where he eats whatever he would like to.

The Imgur user explained he has started lifting weights which makes it "imperative to consume large amounts of protein" in his eyes.

He added: "My biggest advice is to change your diet, Instead of eating three big meals eat six smaller ones, and make the meals relatively healthy or it won't work.

"Chicken and fish is your friend, along with low carb salads (no dressing) and low carb veggies.

"Just watch out because even a lot of fruits are packed with carbs.

"My best advice is to get a macro tracker and be truthful with what you put down or it does no good."

If you want to lose weight in one week what you need is a very effective weight-loss plan. Although this may not be a long-termsolution to your fat loss journey,these few stepscan serve as a great beginning to your journey to lose weight, look good and motivate you to make long-term sustainable changes to your lifestyle. But for the short term, following these steps willhelp you shed those extra kilos before that upcoming beach vacation or that party next week. (ALSO READ This guy lost 24 kg in 16 weeks heres how he did it)

The short answer is yes. While it is possible to lose weight in a week, that weight wont necessarily pure body fat.The calorie deficit that is needed to burn every single kilo of fat makes it dangerous to lose a lot of weight in such a short time. That being said it isnt entirely impossible to lose weight in a week and look lean. What will happen is that you will mostly lose excess water weight and some body fat.As a result you will lookleaner (and hopefully get the motivation you need to get started on a longer weight-loss journey). This is how to lose weight in a week:

This may be a pretty straightforward thing to spell out.But hey, whohasnt skipped a meal (or three) just to lose weight? The problem is skipping meals doesnt help you lose weight. In fact it is counterproductive to your goal.Our body needs a regular supply of nutrients to keep itfunctioning. Allowing large gaps between meals can lead to undesirable physical symptoms such as headache, lethargy, intense hunger which may result in overeating. Skipping meals also slows downyour metabolism, thereby making you actually gain weight rather than lose it. In order to lose weight, you must followa healthyeating pattern and eat threemeals that willhelp you sustain through the day. Try not to go morethan fourhours between meals and let those meals be healthy with reasonable portion sizes.

The nature of our jobs makesus consume lesser water than our body needs. Air conditioned offices, free coffee machines and soft drink dispensers are often easy (not to mention unhealthy) alternatives to water.With lowered calories and carbs, water is the perfect slim-down drink as compared to energy drinks or protein shakes (which are usually high in sugar). Drinking waterdoesnt just help in cleansing and flushing out excess fat, but also increases your metabolism. Its ideal to drink a minimum of twolitres (or about eightglasses) a day.Drink water about 30 minutes before a meal to reduce your hunger pangs and make you feel fuller. It will also aid digestion.

If youre not following a diet, ensure that each meal contains proteins which can boost your metabolism. Start your day with a protein filled breakfast that will help you sustain the entire day. Ensure every meal contains one protein source, one low carb and one low-fat source. Fill your plate with spinach, lettuce, cucumber, kale and other low carb veggies. Healthy protein sources include like chicken, fish and eggs which help keep you stomach filled. Avacoda oil, coconut oil and olive oil are healthier alternatives to fat sources.

Again, pretty straightforward huh? But again, this is easier said than done. That being said,the easiest way to lose weight is to reduce your sugar intake. Foods with sugared starch tend to stimulate insulin secretion. Insulin is theprimary fat storage hormone in the body. So when insulin levels fall, your body starts to burn fats instead of carbs. Lower insulin levelsalso helps your body lose excess sodium and water that reduces bloating. The moment you cut on sugar and starch from your diet you will find a significant change in your body weight.

Whole foods such as fresh fruits, raw seeds, eggs, in their natural and unaltered state, are always healthier as compared to processed food. Packed with more nutrients including vitamins and minerals whole foods contain fewer additives like sweeteners, artificial colors and flavors, unhealthy fats and preservatives compared to processed foods.

Ideally one must have 2-3 meals a day to maintain your metabolism rate. But pick the wrong snack and these meals could leave you feeling hungry. It is always easy toreach out to that bag of chips or order in fries from your favorite fast food joint but losing weight requires sacrifice and choosing the right snack is just one of them.

Research has proven that people who eat fast gain more weight over time. We are rarely conscious of our eating patter and tend to swallow our food rather than chew and savour it. Apart from, well actually being able to enjoy your meal, eating slowly helps reduce hunger pangs and higher levels of satiety between meals. It also helps in better digestion. We could go on but you get the point, right?

No matter how much you change your food habits,a little bit of exercise always goes a long way in losing weight and feeling good. Apart from helping you lose weightfaster, cardiovascular exercises also release endorphins, which makes you happier and more cheerful. You could undertake aHigh Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) session but if you havent worked out before (or for a long time) it is always advisable to start slow. And theres nothingbetter than a 30-minute cardiovascular workout every single day. So go for a run, dust off that bicycle or just hitany of the cardio machines in the gym.

Testosterone booster supplements

Testosterone is a male hormone. Hormones are chemical messengers that are secreted by the brain directly into the blood, which carries them to organs and tissues of the body to perform their functions. Testosterone is produced by the testicles, two oval organs that produce sperm in men. Dietary supplements help with increasing the levels of hormones if we have low levels in the body. In men, testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive organs. In addition, it helps with increasing muscle mass, bone mass, and the growth of body hair. It is also good for general health and well-being. It also prevents loss of bone mass and density. Testosterone also helps maintain the sex drive and energy levels. Moreover, it helps with production of sperm and red blood cells. Testosterone levels start to fall with age. As a result, some men who have low testosterone levels may benefit from testosterone prescribed by their doctor. Testosterone booster supplements may also help.

The ingredients in testosterone supplements may be different. Some testosterone supplements contain zinc and magnesium. They increase testosterone levels in men who exercise. Some other testosterone supplements have hormones like DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) and pregnenolone. They help with making new testosterone and may help improve the ability to have an erection. But it doesn't seem to be helpful if the problem with erections is caused by diabetes or nerve disorders. Some testosterone booster supplements contain natural ingredients like herbs and botanicals. They may increase testosterone by increasing a hormone produced by the brain, which signals the testicles to produce more testosterone. In addition, others work by releasing bound testosterone, so it is in a form the body can use. Studies do not provide strong evidence that women benefit from taking these supplements. You need to talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting a testosterone booster supplement. Discuss your medical history and current prescribed medications, over the counter medications, and any supplements that you are taking. Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you if a testosterone booster supplement is right for you. Once you know if a testosterone booster supplement is right for you, Walgreens has a variety of testosterone booster supplements to choose from and they come in different forms like tablets, capsules or gels.
