When a lot of people think about weight loss, it involves giving up all the foods that you love and busting butt at the gym five days a week. If you're a lazy girl like me, you've probably tried that route and failed more times than you'd like to admit. Here's how to successfully lose weight, the lazy way.

You don't have to break up with carbs or any food group to lose weight. There is absolutely no reason to ban the things you love in order to lose weight. In fact, doing so may only increase your cravings and lead you to failure. The one thing you need to do to lose weight is eat fewer calories than you burn. Instead of giving up on foods you truly enjoy, be mindful of portions and try to balance every meal out with whole, natural foods.

What if I told you a gym membership is in no way necessary to lose weight? As long as you are watching what you eat, exercise is not even necessary to lose weight. However, if you want to speed up the process, upping the number of calories you burn is the way to go. You can do this simply by incorporating more regular movement into your day.

Take your dog for an extra walk each evening. Park farther away from your office. Switch out a night per week of binge-watching Netflix for playing badminton in the yard or taking a stroll around the neighborhood. Investing in a fitness tracker is a great way to challenge yourself to gradually increase your everyday activity level, and you can even compete with friends, if that's your thing.

Body weight can fluctuate several pounds per day, regardless of whether or not you're losing fat. Hormones, bathroom habits, and diet can all cause temporary water weight gain. Don't bother getting on the scale every day. You may find yourself discouraged or even throw in the towel completely trying to decipher the ever-changing number you face. Pick a day of the week and a time of day. That's when you'll weigh in each week. Then, put the scale away and do not touch it again until your weigh-in day comes around next week.

You can drink juice, soda, and alcohol and still lose weight. However, you'll quickly realize that these items should be categorized as treats rather than daily drinks, due to their high caloric content. Water, unsweetened tea, or diet beverages (if you're OK with artificial sweeteners) are your new best friends. They will help you feel full between meals and aid with digestion, which can sometimes struggle to adjust to dietary changes.

Losing weight is simple, but that does not mean it is easy. Search online for weight-loss support groups

that embrace practical, safe (and yes, "lazy") approaches to achieving your goal. Like-minded supporters in your corner means you'll be more likely to reach out for advice in those inevitable moments of frustration instead of reaching out for extra-large fries at the nearest drive-through.

The Lazy Girl's 5-Step Guide to Weight Loss - POPSUGAR

by Ramtin Kassir, M.D., F.A.C.S.

The HCG Diet is a physician supervised weight loss program that can help shed 1 to 3 lbs per day by modifying their metabolism and eating habits for long term results.

HCG (Human Choriogonadotropin) is a hormone that is injected daily (or taken orally with under-the tongue drops), accompanied by a VLCD (very low calorie diet of approximately 500 calories).

Each course of treatment consists of a minimum 26 days, with 23 of those days requiring a daily dose of HCG, either through injections or under-the-tongue drops. Treatment can last as long as 43 days (with as many as 40 injections), unless a patient is able to lose 34 to 40 pounds before the allotted time has passed. Patients will not receive HCG injections for the last three days of treatment so the hormone can cycle completely out of their bodies before they resume a normal diet. (It also takes about three days for HCG's effects to "kick in.")

HCG is being called this because after taking it for weight loss, it reprograms your body to use stored fat for energy when your calorie intake is reduced for a period of time. In other words, it helps you to maintain your weight and not gain it back once normal caloric intake is resumed.

That will depend on your starting point. People with more weight to lose will experience a greater loss. On average, Dr. Kassirs patients lose around 15 to 40 lbs. per month.

Most men and women can use the HCG diet. It is recommended that you coordinate with Dr. Kassir concerning your weight loss, along with the appropriate implementation of the HCG protocol.

Some degree of moderation in eating will be necessary due to the tendency to gain weight after any type of weight loss program. However, stability of normal weight is relatively easy because the weight loss is from stored fat and not structural fat.

The HGC is taken in the form of sublingual drops. The drops are placed under the tongue twice a day (morning and afternoon). It can also be injected daily.

The hypothalamus gland moderates the thyroid, adrenals, fat storage and even more importantly, your metabolic rate.

The HCG is mobilizing your stored fat and making it available to your body as a source of energy. So even though you are consuming less calories, your body has access to the energy you have stored in fat cells. Therefore, you are utilizing thousands of calories that already exist in your body each day. Overall, most patients are not hungry and feel very good while on the program.

Yes. The HCG allows you to maintain the diet even while performing hard work or vigorous exercise. By mobilizing and using the abnormal fat stores for energy, you prevent the breakdown of lean muscle.

Absolutely! All women experience very high levels of HCG during the nine months of their pregnancy with no adverse affects. In comparison, the amount used for weight loss is miniscule and has very few, if any, side effects.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a natural hormone produce by our bodies. It has many functions and is used to treat many medical conditions. It is the hormone that almost completely controls metabolic functions.

It is not necessary. However those with balanced hormones are seeing greater results and have more success in maintaining that loss. Not to mention the overall health benefits and feeling of well being experience with balance hormones.

Yes!! Men usually get better results than women and it is just as safe for men as for women. HCG is actually already found in men. In fact, it is present in every human tissue, including males and non-pregnant females.

That will be determined by you and the doctor based upon how much weight you would like to lose. Those decisions are made during your consultation with Dr. Kassir.

HCG along with the Modified Simeon Diet causes your hypothalamus to mobilize fat from your abnormal fat cells to make it available for use. While you are only taking in ~500 calories, your hypothalamus is continually releasing the fat stored in your body. It maintains a normal basal metabolic rate and resets the hypothalamus to prevent future regain.

As a rule, we love watching actors push themselves to dangerous extremes for their craft. Dramatic physical ordeals become the stuff of Hollywood lore: Leonardo DiCaprio sleeping inside an animal carcass to prepare for The Revenant, Robert DeNiro gaining 60 pounds for Raging Bull, Daniel Day Lewis damaging two ribs after spending the entire shoot of My Left Foot in a wheelchair. (Female bodily transformations like any time an actress appears to undergo plastic surgery tend to be more fraught.) Yet To the Bone, Netflix's recent film about a young woman, played by Lily Collins, battling life-threatening anorexia, has sparked a different kind of public conversation about performers and commitment. This time, the question is where Method acting and and psychological self-harm intersect, and at what point one actor's discipline becomes a public-health issue.

In the film, directed by Marti Noxon, Collins plays Ellen, a severely anorexic teenager who is sent for treatment at an inpatient clinic run by an unorthodox therapist (Keanu Reeves). Both Noxon and Collins grappled with serious eating disorders when they were younger the film is loosely based on Noxon's own experiences and for both, the film was born of a very personal desire to elevate the artistic treatment of an issue typically been relegated to Lifetime movies or after-school specials. Collins was offered the role just as she was opening up about her eating disorder for the first time in her 2017 self-help book slash memoir, Unfiltered. As she told The Independent, "It was like the world in a kismet situation saying 'this is something that maybe you need to expand upon, something you can maybe bring to more people start a larger conversation.'"

Like 13 Reasons Why, Netflix's last take on a serious mental-health Issue, the film has quickly become mired in controversy over its shortcomings as an educational tool. And many of the criticisms in addition to critiques of its focus on suffering over recovery, and of its focus on a thin, white, conventionally beautiful protagonist have centered on Collins' decision to lose weight for the role under the supervision of a nutritionist. In the view of eating-disorder specialist Jennifer Rollin, who wrote a critical op-ed about the film for HuffPost, the notion that someone recovering from an eating disorder can safely lose weight is "one the most concerning" things about the film.

"Lily Collins saying she lost weight in a 'healthy way' with the help of a nutritionist for the role is like someone with alcoholism saying they drank responsibly for a role," Rollin told me.

Noxon has said that she did not ask Collins to lose weight, and that it was a choice she took on with careful consideration. "Both Lily and I in deciding to make the movie had to evaluate, well, where are we in our recovery? Are we in a good place to make this? And we both felt really strongly that it was something we wanted to do and that would be good for us," Noxon told the Los Angeles Times. In her memoir, Collins calls making the film "the best form of creative rehab," saying that it helped her to face aspects of her disorder that she had failed to fully reckon with, and that she fully recovered from the weight loss she endured for the film.

But for some of the experts I spoke to, Collins' decision was more than an arguably reckless personal choice; it poses a genuine threat for the sort of vulnerable viewers who have already begun sharing photos of her character on "thinspiration" web pages. "We know for somebody with the underlying genetics for anorexia that weight loss, regardless of intention, can trigger their brain to start to get activated. It has put her recovery at risk and it's sent a really dangerous message to other people in recovery," Rollin said.

"If people think, Oh, well, Lily Collins did and it didn't harm her, maybe I can, it becomes a salient example in peoples' minds," adds eating-disorder specialist Lauren Muhlheim. "Hollywood celebrities carry a lot of weight because people will remember that versus a clinician who 10 years in the past told them 'you're at risk if you diet in the future.'" (Muhlheim advises anyone dealing with an eating disorder to contact the National Eating Disorder Helpline. She also recommends a video the cast made called 9 Truths About Eating Disorders, which helps debunk a number of myths and misconceptions that the film doesn't tackle.)

Still, others in the ED community have given the filmmakers their support, arguing that To the Bone stands to do more good than harm by simply existing in the world. Kristina Saffran, co-founder of eating-disorder support charity Project Heal (which has partnered with the filmmakers to help "guide them on how to have this conversation in a responsible way") says it would probably have been impossible to make a realistic movie that wasn't triggering to people with eating disorders, because "when you're dealing with an eating disorder, literally everything is triggering." While Project Heal has said they do not support Collins's weight loss and their involvement with the film took place after the fact Saffran suggests we should "take [Collins'] word" that she is in a better place after the shoot and that it was actually therapeutic for her to go through this process.

Even if Collins hadn't lost weight for the part (and some of the film's more harrowing visuals were the result of prosthetics), eating-disorder therapist Carolyn Costin who moderated a panel on the film alongside Collins and Noxon, in partnership with Project Heal thinks that critics would have found fault with the film's method no matter what. "I think you have to take the basic understanding that you can't have a film about a troubling topic without troubling some people," says Costin. In her view, the absence of realistic representations of eating disorders onscreen means that any attempt to do so faces a disproportionate amount of scrutiny.

"I've been racking my brain, what would be the alternative?" Costin asks. "If you're going to make a realistic movie, I don't have an alternative. if you took an actress who wanted to portray someone with anorexia and they tried to lose weight, you could risk that person getting an eating disorder. And if you took someone to play Marti's character and you kept them at a normal weight, I think you'd be accused of glamorizing the eating disorder because nobody would see anything bad."

Some of this comes down to the different schools of thought on whether you can ever be fully recovered from an eating disorder, which Costin believes is possible. "[Where] the philosophy [that recovery is lifelong] comes from is more like a chemical dependency where people would say 'you can never have a drink because your chemistry is different,' and that's not been proven in eating disorders," she says. "People do this all the time, lose weight, gain weight, smoke, put themselves in compromising positions, yet there's something about the eating-disorder field where people get very upset about it," she says. (In an op-ed, Costin said she too was "was concerned and unsettled upon hearing the leading actress had suffered from anorexia in the past yet lost weight to play the part." Still, she adds, "the important thing" is that Lily has recovered and did not relapse.)

Lost amid all the consternation over eating-disorder pathology and triggering imagery is the question of what it means for an actress like Lily Collins or a filmmaker like Marti Noxon to revisit her own traumas onscreen. Plenty of art has been born out of individual suffering, and it's clear from Collins' memoir that she sees being an advocate and an actress as two sides of the same coin. Her weight loss was, in its way, an attempt to access some sort of autobiographical truth even if doing so threatened to put her back in the path of the same dangers she sought to communicate.

"My experience helped me be able to tell Ellen's story in a true and genuine way, which benefited not only the character but also myself," Collins told The Cut via email. "If I didn't feel I was ready to take on this role, I wouldn't have. But I knew in my gut it was for a greater purpose than just my own healing." She continued:

"In preparing for the role I wanted to pay tribute to the suffering 16-year-old girl I once was and portray a young woman in her situation as best I could, tapping into the mind-set but also keeping a fine distance for the woman I've since become. I chose to help tell this story, one woman's story in search of recovery. Every single person's journey is different. As was mine."

In her book, she writes about how taking the role was by no means an easy choice, about the fear that she wouldn't be able to separate herself from the role or resist old triggers, as well as her struggles post-shoot, filming Okja in South Korea, where isolation from friends and family and a lack of familiarity with the food presented potential triggers for relapse. And she writes about how, ultimately, she took the part along with all the risks it entailed because she felt it was a creative and ethical obligation to bring her story to a wider audience.

"I remember driving home the night we wrapped filming on To the Bone and passing my high school where many of my insecurities, relationship problems, and eating issues had begun," she writes. "I looked out the window and smiled. Little did I know that the troubled Lily back then was going through it all for a greater purpose. To one day share her story as part of a much larger one. To have her voice join the voices of so many other young women. It's a weight off my shoulders, a self-inflicted burden relinquished."

Who doesnt like fitting into that old pair of jeans that was super expensive? Are you someone who wants to shed those extra pounds safely and quickly? Does that extra layer of fat spoil your mood whenever you try to fit into that leather skirt?

According to some researchers at the University of North Carolina, men tend to lose weight more easily as compared to women especially the belly fat around the midsection. This doesnt mean that losing weight is impossible for women but it highlights the fact that women have to work a little harder than their male counterparts to shed those extra pounds.

Remember losing weight will not be an easy task unless you have iron willpower. It will make you hungry and leave you craving for sugary snacks that you loved and yes there will be tears. Most importantly, no one is losing a pound without any exercise and a healthy workout routine. It doesnt necessarily have to be boiled chicken and beans all the time, if you eat smartly and keep your calorie intake in check, losing weight can actually become a fun task. Below are four easy steps to keep in mind before you start your weight loss regime.

1. Eat Breakfast like a Queen

It all depends on how you start your day. A healthier start leaves you motivated to make healthier decisions for the rest of the day. Breakfast jump starts your metabolism hence add a source of lean protein (e.g beans), fat (e.g, olive oil, avocado oil, nut butter) and fiber(e.g fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) in your breakfast. A bowl of oats topped with fresh raspberries and a glass of milk is an ideal breakfast.

Your breakfast calorie count should range from 400 to 500 calories which will not only keep you satisfied but will help you lay off the urge to munch.

Processed foods are rich in sodium which is added to it for preservation purposes. Excess of sodium is bad for your health even when youre not on a diet.

Processed foods may seem an easy to grab option, easier to cook and less effort consuming but at the expense of your health. They are less filling and are more likely to cause over-eating later in the day. The trick while grocery shopping is

3.Say Hello to Lean Proteins

How often have you heard that fitness guy talk about that delicious protein shake? Ever wondered why all the fitness lovers talk about proteins all the time? Heres why proteins help you lose weight, protein takes up more energy of your body to burn and digest as compared to carbs and fat hence including proteins in your diet will help you boost your metabolism. Moreover, proteins will also provide nutritional support for the workouts and help you maintain a lean and toned muscle tissue.

Try to eat 80 grams of protein per 100 pounds of your body weight and include a palm size dense portion of protein in every meal like a piece of chicken, tuna or salmon.

4.Workout!

No one is shedding any weight without moving and starting a healthy workout routine. Cardiovascular exercises help you torch more calories. A cycling session, a ballet lesson or a swimming program is excellent for beginners as it will initiate the weight loss program with a zing of entertainment.

Remember workout is not all about lifting weights and exercising in uncomfortable positions! They have a different purpose in the game but not in the initial days of a beginner. Consult a trainer at the gym, he/she will recommend the proper workout routine that will get you started and help you head towards your fitness goals.

Senior citizens have a lower tolerance for heat, so they should take more care to avoid heat-related illnesses. (Metro Creative Graphics Inc.)

As a child, you may have spent numerous hours outdoors during the summer. Now that youre an adult, you may find the summer months to be far less enjoyable because of the heat. This is normal, according to Monica Durocher, RN, CRRN at Mountain Valley Regional Rehabilitation Hospital.

As you age, the bodys mechanisms that help regulate internal temperature become less efficient Durocher explains. This means that you lose some of your ability to adapt to heat, leaving you with a lower tolerance and making you more susceptible to heat-related illnesses.

Durocher says that this is caused by a few different reasons one being that an adult older than 65 doesnt sweat as much as a younger individual. Sweating helps to cool the body. Also, an older adult may be more likely to have a chronic condition or be on medication that affects the bodys ability to respond to heat.

Called hyperthermia, heat-related illnesses can include heat exhaustion, cramps, fatigue, and stroke (also called sun stroke). Symptoms can include a flushed face, high body temperature, headache, nausea, rapid pulse, dizziness, or lack of sweating.

Hyperthermia is caused as blood rushes to the skins surface as the body tries to cool itself, Durocher says. As a result, less blood reaches the brain, muscles, and other organs, which can interfere with muscle strength and mental capacity. In severe cases, this can be dangerous.

According to the National Institute on Aging, if someone is suspected of suffering from a heat-related illness, you should:

Get the person out of the heat and into a shady, air-conditioned, or other cool place. Urge him or her to lie down.

If the person can swallow safely, offer fluids such as water, fruit or vegetable juices. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.

Encourage the individual to shower, bathe or sponge off with cool water

Apply a cold, wet cloth to the wrists, neck, armpits, and/or groin area. These are places where blood passes close to the surface of the skin, and the cold cloths can help cool the blood.

Call 911 if you suspect heat stroke.

The best defense with a heat-related illness, however, is to prevent it from ever occurring. The best way to enjoy a warm day is to arm yourself with some heat-related knowledge and take sensible precautions, Durocher says. To enjoy a warmer day safely, she suggests:

Stay hydrated. Drink water often, even if you dont feel thirsty.

Check your medicines. Some may make you more sensitive to the sun. Ask your doctor.

Wear sunscreen. Apply before you head outside, and reapply often.

Wear proper clothing. Wear light-weight, breathable clothing, long sleeves and a wide-brimmed hat.

Wear sunglasses. Look for those that protect from UVB and UVA rays.

Go indoors. Mid-day sun is the hottest. Plan indoor activities for those times. Stay in air-conditioned areas when its hot outside.

Take cool showers or baths to cool down.

Sermorelin, or sermorelin acetate in full, is part of the amino acid that triggers the release of the human growth hormone. It makes up part of the most important hormones necessary for your body. Sermorelin comes in vials, ranging from 0.5 mg to 5 mg, and is intended for injection to treat hormonal deficiency. The specific action it performs in the organism is increasing the level of plasma growth hormone.

It does so by activating the release of the hormone by its primary source the pituitary. After performing its intended action sermorelin is eliminated naturally from the bodys circulation. Women and men alike can benefit from sermorelin, as well as children with natural hormone deficiency, popularly known as stunted growth.

Sermorelin main information

Sermorelin, or sermorelin acetate in full, is part of the amino acid that triggers the release of the human growth hormone. It makes up part of the most important hormones necessary for your body. Sermorelin comes in vials, ranging from 0.5 mg to 5 mg, and is intended for injection to treat hormonal deficiency. The specific action it performs in the organism is increasing the level of plasma growth hormone. It does so by activating the release of the hormone by its primary source the pituitary. After performing its intended action sermorelin is eliminated naturally from the bodys circulation. Women and men alike can benefit from sermorelin, as well as children with natural hormone deficiency, popularly known as stunted growth.

Before accepting treatment of any kind through drugs that are not yet familiar to you, it is extremely important to have all the facts. Even with the word of a self-proclaimed specialist, you could be in danger of an allergic reaction or worse. Start by familiarizing yourself with the different variants of human growth hormone therapy.

With the help of a certified physician sermorelin therapy can be prescribed after a hormone test and diagnosis of low levels of human growth hormone. Sermorelin should not be injected if one has hypothyroidism, an underactive thyroid. Your doctor can also test levels of the thyroid hormone to determine if you are at risk. In addition to risk analysis prior to treatment, post-treatment tests should be conducted as well. This will prevent any side effects and allergic reactions.

It is critical to consider all proposed benefits and risks of human growth hormone therapy with sermorelin. Some patients, such as pregnant or nursing women, run a far greater risk. For this reason everyone should get in touch with a physician that will be able to guide the treatment procedure.

Sermorelin acetate consists of a total of 44 amino acid residues, making up part of the peptide that formulates the circulation of the human growth hormone, more commonly known as HGH. The empirical data of sermorelin is as follows formula corresponding to C 149 H 246 N 44 O 42 S and exact molecular weight corresponding to 3,358 atomic mass units. Sermorelin acetate itself is a powder, but combined with Sodium Chloride Injection (USP) it becomes suitable for injection. Naturally it has a pH balance of 5-5.5, a bit on the acidic side. For this reason it is balanced out with a dibasic solution of sodium phosphate and monobasic sodium phosphate buffer.

The scientific description of sermorelin acetate is quite complicated to say the least, but its use is simple to stimulate the pituitary gland for the release of the human growth hormone. The human growth hormone is natural to a healthy functioning organism in decent doses throughout life. Unfortunately, some people grow to be deficient of it with age or injury; meanwhile others may lack it even as a child. Usage of sermorelin acetate as a human growth hormone replacement therapy is common to men, women, and children alike.

Sermorelin works efficiently and effectively, administered both subcutaneous (below the skin) and intravenous (through the veins). Directly after injection, its concentration shoots up to peak levels in as little as 5 minutes. After doing so it stimulates the pituitary, releasing the human growth hormone that the body lacks. Once it has performed its role as a catalyst, sermorelin is flushed out of the system at a rate of 2.4-2.8 liters per minute for adults. Sermorelin is directly associated to function of the pituitary gland, which is further connected to the human growth hormone and growth in general, as well as overall physical and mental health.

Thyroid replacement therapy, common for those with hypothyroidism, has a contradictory response to sermorelin, and therefore it is highly recommended that patients re-establish their level of thyroid hormone before taking to the human growth hormone.

Furthermore, it is not an exception that one out of many patients enrolled in therapy may have an allergic reaction to sermorelin. An allergy is simply your body identifying the substance you are giving it as foreign and rejecting it. Allergic reactions can vary in intensity, as well as being local or systemic. Immediate medical attention is recommended in any case so that therapy can continue safety and to rule out the possibility of any harm to your health.

The use of drugs other than sermorelin simultaneously can become a problem as the effect of sermorelin or the other drug can be inhibited or create a negative response of the body. It is imperative to discuss with your physician all ongoing treatments and uses of drugs before starting HGH therapy with sermorelin.

Side effects of sermorelin are extremely uncommon as proven by clinical studies. However, miniscule chances still lie in adverse reactions such as headache, dizziness, hyperactivity, nausea, and tightness in the chest. Get a full description of risks of sermorelin from a specialist.

Drug abuse of sermorelin is highly uncommon, but patients must be warned of drug dependence and over dosage should they disobey instructions for proper and safe use of sermorelin. The recommended dosage is 0.2-0.3 mcg once a day. Follow administration instructions carefully for the best results from sermorelin and HGH therapy in general.

Sermorelin, often named GRF 1-29, is actually a HGH releasing hormone analogue. This is a twenty nine-amino acid polypeptide which represents 1-29 fragment by endogenous HGH releasing hormone, which is considered to be the quickest completely functional fragment of GHRH, Its used like a test for human growth hormone release. Its also used like doping product in sports activities. Used generally in Anti-aging Treatment usually along with Testosterone. Less dangerous substitute for Growth Hormone

USES: Sermorelin can be used to deal with growth problems (often in children) because of growth hormone deficit. It will work by stimulating your pituitary gland to produce natural human growth hormone.

No, its a human growth hormone secretagogue, it means that effects your pituitary gland to create more HGH. Sermorelin is known as a tiny peptide that contains just twenty nine amino acids while HGH is actually a larger molecule that contains 191 amino acids.

Right now, the only technique for successfully applying Sermorelin is simply by subcutaneous injection. Nevertheless, considering that the molecule is really a lot smaller compared to HGH, it could be possible to effectively administer it with the nasal mucousa by using a spray method. This kind of theory is already being analyzed scientifically and the final results must soon be ready.

Even though the compounds act on totally different parts in your body (HGH in the liver and Sermorelin in the pituitary), the quantity of substance required to be useful in increasing serum IGF-1 are usually almost identical. HGH is mostly prescribed in every day dosages of 1 or 2 international units (IU) although Sermorelin is actually prescribed into micrograms.

Nevertheless, 1 IU is equivalent to 333 micrograms and so the weight of efficient doses is nearly between three hundred and six hundred micrograms a day. All the beneficial doses for Sermorelin tend to be between two hundred to five hundred micrograms a day; a range that is similar to that for Human growth hormone.

Sermorelin is used by shot daily just before going to bed. The moment of injections is essential for the reason that extra GRF supplied by Sermorelin supplements that which normally happens while sleeping and also thereby helps the night time release of HGH which is typical of youngsters. Dosage range must be fitted to everyones personal requirements. Nevertheless, recommendations for dosing are usually:

200 ug/day for males with BMI via 18.5 / 24.9 300 ug/day for males with BMI among 25 / 29.9 400 ug/day for females and males with BMI among 25 / 29.9 500ug/day for females and males with BMI among 25 / 29.9

Swelling/pain/redness from the injection could happen. If some of these effects continue or get worse, inform your physician.Quickly inform your physician if these unlikely negative effects appear: flushing, boost in hyperactivity, headache.

In under one percent from the people prescribed Sermorelin in medical studies, symptoms such as:

Inform your doctor right away if these unlikely but really serious side effects appear: trouble swallowing, chest tightness, vomiting. An allergy to the drug is not likely; however look for fast medical assistance if it takes place. The signs of an allergic attack contain: rash, swelling, itching, trouble breathing and dizziness. You may notice additional side effects not listed in this article, speak to your physician.

As the sun sets on Hollywood beach, fingers and toes touch down on colorful mats atop the warm, golden sand. Bodies bend and sway, as Jimmy Buffett songs croon from the boardwalk.

Suddenly, giggles break out, as kids and teens work their way into the dancing lion pose. These young yogis are taking Miriam Amselems yoga class. And while theyre having fun, theyre also learning to cope with the pressures of student life.

High school is really stressful, says Jeni Tache, 15, of Hollywood, who attends Katz Yeshiva High School in Boca Raton. Yoga helps me relax.

Holistic nutritionist, yoga instructor and mother, Amselem, 51, believes that kids and teens who practice yoga and meditation will be better equipped to handle stress and anxiety in their daily lives. In todays world, all the computers, phones and instant pictures can be a major cause of stress, Amselem says. During meditation, I say: Close your eyes, just listen. They get into a little zone. It definitely eases anxiety.

Amselem says yoga also helps develop auditory skills, which, she says, are being lost, because everything is visual nowadays.

Kids and teens practice yoga at Miriam Amselems yoga class on Hollywood Beach. Studies have shown that yoga and mindfulness can improve concentration and help with anxiety.

Caitlin Granfield Special to the Miami Herald

More and more studies have found evidence that meditation can have lasting benefits on young people, from scientific journals like the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences to peer-reviewed studies. They show that practicing mindfulness, or being conscious of ones present state of being through meditation, helps improve brain development and behavior while increasing ones self-awareness and self-regulation.

South Florida psychologist Lori Ben-Ezra sees children in her Hollywood practice who are struggling academically and emotionally. For patients who have issues with self-esteem, self-control or attention, she recommends yoga because of its mind/body connection.

Its really good for kids who struggle with self-control issues and who may not be cut out for team sports, she says. Everybody can do yoga. You dont have to shoot the basketball well or run fast; everything happens on your mat. Nobody puts you down. Its accepting. You take that time-out and then can go back to your homework or to school with a clearer mind, less anxiety and more focus.

Yoga also promotes bonding as a family, she says, since everybody can do it together.

A lot of families these days dont spend a whole lot of time together, she says, so to take an hour or hour and a half and do something thats physically and mentally healthy together is great.

Local hospitals and outpatient facilities are also incorporating yoga into their wellness regimes. Occupational therapist Gema Salvaggio has been teaching yoga to kids and teens at the Nicklaus Childrens Doral Outpatient Center for three years. The biggest benefit she sees in those who start yoga at an early age is more self-confidence.

Not all kids are good at sports, she says, but with yoga you can go at your own pace and be successful individually.

The centers yoga program takes place one to two times a week, in 12-week sessions, each summer, spring and fall. Its divided into two groups: one for teens and one for children.

Baptist Health South Florida has been incorporating yoga in its group fitness programs for about 10 years. Danny Elfenbein, community health manager for Baptist, says the demand for yoga has skyrocketed from two to three classes a few years ago to 12 weekly classes in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. All are free and open to the public.

The paradigm that exists for young children, preteens and teens, from a physical, mental and social perspective, he says, is that yoga becomes a prevention measure for stress reduction.

Baptist underwrites Bayfront Park Trusts 6 p.m. Monday and Wednesday yoga classes, and partners with Green Monkey to host yoga classes at A.D. Barnes Park, 3401 SW 72nd Ave., every Saturday at 9 a.m.

A study published last July in Biological Psychiatry showed physical changes in the brain in people who practiced meditation. Among those who practiced meditation, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for memory, planning, organization, regulation and control, showed increased activity during brain scans, and more communication with other parts of the brain responsible for reactions to stress.

Anniel Nagler, a pediatric physical therapist at Achieve Therapy in Hollywood, sees the benefits of kids and teens who practice yoga.

It helps them gain flexibility and stability and helps them understand the way the body should feel when its in proper alignment, she says. Its so important because it sets them on the path for longevity, of having flexibility and stability in the long term.

It helps me because Im a gymnast, says 9-year-old Abby Tache, who with her sister, Jeni, attended Amselems sunset yoga class on a recent weekday. When Im on the balance beam, it helps me with balance and posture and I picture myself at the beach and it helps get me across the beam. If Im stressed, it calms me down.

Adina Ciment, head of the English department at Katz Yeshiva, knows all about the stress students face in competitive high schools in South Florida.

Its not just homework and peer pressure, she says. Its college, whos getting what grade in what course, what college is going to accept me or reject me, how my lifes going to fall apart at the end of 11th grade AP scores, SATs, ACTs its constant.

Amselem acknowledges the students stress, but then tells her class: Come back to this moment of relaxation, take deep breaths and let everything go.

Its important to be outdoors, she adds. Were always indoors. We live in paradise. And theres no Wi-Fi here.

Miriam Amselem teaches yoga to adults, teens and children three times a week in front of the Hollywood Beach Marriott, 2501 N. Ocean Dr. For rates, class times and dates, email her at naturallyhealthybymiri@gmail.com.

Favil Singh has a simple prescription for patients about to undergo surgery for prostate cancerexercise.

His research has shown that a regular dose of physical activity in the lead up to surgery helps patients recover faster, and spend less time in hospital.

"This is the first time we've been able to demonstrate the benefits of 'pre-habilitation' for prostate cancer patients," says Favil, a Lecturer in Clinical Exercise Physiology at Edith Cowan University and practicing exercise physiologist.

"It is safe, side effect-free and can be done while undergoing chemo or radiotherapy. Just two sessions a week of resistance and exercise training for six weeks can make a difference to recovery."

He created supervised exercise programs to help patients build fitness, including resistance training in the form of lifting weights as well as aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging and cycling.

Favil was able to boost the patients' fitness levels by 15 per cent, making them much stronger going into surgery, and better able to recover and get back into daily life.

Many prostate cancer patients have to endure a stressful waiting period of six to ten weeks between diagnosis and surgery.

GPs and surgeons have traditionally told patients to rest during this time but Favil found that getting fit and active, even while you're unwell, might actually be the best.

He's now recruiting patients for a larger trial comparing the benefits of pre-treatment exercise to post-treatment exercise.

The work was published in the journal Integrative Cancer Therapies.

Thirty Las Vegas fitness instructors take their spots on the gym floor at Body Dance & Fitness. On this day, however, theyre the students.

Their trainers, Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews, get the group started with light stretches and warm-up exercises, but everyone here knows thats only the beginning.

The pace of the music picks up and so does the action.

Do you feel this? Freeman asks the class, as he directs them in a series of pushups, fierce kicks and hard punches. The class responds with a loud, simultaneous Woo!

Good, Freeman says. Keep going.

The local trainers have gathered to learn Core de Force Live, the newest fitness format from Beachbody, which is known for its P90X and Insanity at-home exercise programs. Freeman and McMatthews developed Core de Force and have been traveling the country and Canada to train gym instructors in Core de Force Live, starting in New Orleans and ending in Toronto.

The difference between Core de Force and other Beachbody programs is the addition of mixed martial arts moves and skills.

Its the amazing elements from the MMA style of working out that make you feel empowered and strong and confident, but we put it together in a really accessible way that anyone with any background even no fitness level at could come in and have a really good time, McMatthews says.

We wanted to bring all the training elements that fighters do because their physiques are phenomenal, Freeman says.

No equipment is necessary to do this workout, which was developed to work the bodys core.

Everything we do and every move we do is core-centric, Freeman says.

Shawnta Jackson, owner of Body Dance & Fitness on Sahara Avenue and a participant in the class, throws some punches and kicks, and sits through some brainstorming sessions for the opportunity to offer the Core de Force Live at her studio.

Instructors who attended the daylong event last weekend will be able to offer the new program at their gyms. During the training, McMatthews and Freeman offered tips for modifying the program for their clients.

Adding this to our schedule will allow a new group of people who want to come and work out, Jackson says. Maybe there hadnt been something they were interested in, but now we can offer that for them. Her studio offers other Beachbody Live programs including Piyo, P90X, Cize and Turbo Kick.
