It's long been suspected that stress can lead to weight gain, but a new study - the first of its kind - now suggests that long term stress can lead to gaining weight over time.

Researchers from University College London (UCL) conducted the study on 2,527 men and women over the age of 50.

They measured the level of cortisol, the stress hormone, in two centimetre clippings of hair (about two months' growth).

After taking into account variations in age and sex as well as other factors like whether someone smokes or has diabetes, the researchers found that the higher the level of cortisol (ie. the more stressed someone was), the bigger the body weight, BMI and waist circumference of the person.

What's more, having a higher level of cortisol was also linked to persistent obesity over time.

Previous studies that have looked into the connection between stress and weight-gain have always studied cortisol levels in the blood, urine or saliva, which vary throughout the day and are affected by temporary factors.

This research is the first that's ever found a way to measure stress levels over the course of two months.

However it's not actually clear whether stress causes obesity - being overweight could also be a source of stress for some people.

Lead study author Sarah E. Jackson, an epidemiologist at UCL, said that while we probably can't eliminate all stress from our lives, we might be able to find ways to control it: "Even just being aware that stress might make you eat more may help."

So if you want to lose weight, perhaps it's time to stop counting calories and simply relax. (ANI)

Then strength training muscled its way into the spotlight as the must-do move for revving your metabolism and losing weight in your sleep, prompting many exercise enthusiasts to join #TeamNoCardio.

So a few years ago, Duke University researchers took to the lab and conducted the largest study of its kind to compare the two and get an answer once and for all.

The cardio group lost about 4 pounds while their resistance training peers gained two. Yes, the weight gain was attributed to added lean mass.

However, that muscle mass didn't lead to any meaningful fat loss over the course of the study. In fact, the aerobics only group shed more than 3 pounds of fat while the lifters didn't lose a single pound despite the fact that they actually exercised 47 more minutes each week than the cardio group.

Not surprisingly, the cardio-plus-resistance group improved their body composition best -- losing the most fat while adding some lean mass. But they also spent twice as much time in the gym.

It's simple math, says study co-author Cris Slentz, PhD, assistant professor of medicine at Duke University. "Minute per minute, cardio burns more calories, so it works best for reducing fat mass and body mass."

That's not to say that you shouldn't lift weights, especially as you get older and start losing muscle mass, he notes. "Resistance training is important for maintaining lean body mass, strength and function, and being functionally fit is important for daily living no matter what your size."

That means more calories burned.

It's also important to remember one essential fact about exercise and weight loss, says Slentz. "Exercise by itself will not lead to big weight loss. What and how much you eat has a far greater impact on how much weight you lose," he says.

That's because it's far easier to take in less energy (calories) than it is to burn significant amounts and it's very easy to cancel out the few hundred calories you've burned working out with just one snack.

Where exercise appears to matter most is for preventing weight gain, or for keeping off pounds once you've lost weight, says Slentz. "Exercise seems to work best for body weight control," he says.

The National Weight Control Registry, which since 1994 has tracked more than 10,000 people who shed an average of 66 pounds and kept it off for at least five years, would agree.

Ninety percent of successful weight loss maintainers exercise for about an hour a day and their activity of choice is cardio, simply walking.

The past year presented us with countless crazy diet trends without much evidence to back them up. From the mono diet, to the taco cleanse, the most popular diets of 2016 were pretty outrageous.

Now, 2017 is proving that crazy diets are not going away: One woman recently opened up about her dramatic weight loss using the Teaspoon Diet, in which she measures out her portions and eats with a teaspoon.

Mathilde Broberg dropped nearly half her body weight with the method, starting at 268 pounds and nibbling her way down to 125 pounds over the course of two-and-a-half years. Following her weight loss, the 21-year-old is now a personal trainer and a sportswear model. "Firstly, my portions are around the size of a flat-out hand. I made sure my portions were no bigger than that. It stopped me piling-up a food mountain on my plate like before," Broberg, who estimates that she used to eat 3,500 calories a day, told the Daily Mail.

"I also started eating with a teaspoon rather than a tablespoon; that way, I was feeling full quicker. By eating with a teaspoon, it tricked my brain into thinking I was consuming way more than I really was. It worked well for me." She also cut junk food out of her diet. "I quit chips, candy, cake, bread, and pasta, as well as using a couple of great tricks to combat my greediness."

At 59", Mathilde was at the upper end of the obesity spectrum at her highest weight, and she qualified as underweight at her lowest. She had been obese since childhood, and after spending two and a half years committed to losing weight, she feared weight gain and developed what seems to have been problematic eating behavior, saying that she always wanted a model body. She admits she was often hungry during her weight-loss process and says she worked out "way too much." Mathilde has since put on 24 pounds of muscle and fat, but based on her daily food log, she continues to heavily restrict her portions, eating little more than 1,000 calories per day. Shira Lenchewski, MS, RD, a Los Angeles-based celebrity nutritionist, raised some pretty big red flags about this worrisome diet. "My food philosophy is pretty simple: food is nourishment and pleasure. I honestly dont believe you can live a happy, healthy life without both.

And you shouldnt have to choose. Part of achieving that balance involves getting in touch with your internal hunger and satiety cues," she shared. Eating mindfully can be the best way to nourish your body. Your brain takes 20 minutes to register the food in your stomach. And the palm of your hand can be used as a measuring tool for portion control; however, it is crucial to be sure you are getting enough calories and listening to the signals your body is sending you. "The problem for many of us is that we cant always pick up on those signals. So, although sensible portion control and dialling back on sweets and simple carbs can certainly be helpful," Lenchewski explains, "I would definitely caution against any type of extreme plan, especially one that promises to trick those internal signals, which we really want to be on point."

Gluten-free options are common in all grocery stores nowadays. (Photo: Celiac Corner, MGNOnline)

Gluten is a tricky subject to discuss in the health world, because its one that cant be explained in black and white terms. Usually, people choose to take gluten out of their diets for what they think are real, genuine concerns. In reality, a lot of those same people probably see zero health benefits as a result. They only make their diets more difficult and complicated to follow.

However, for people with celiac disease or nonceliac gluten intolerance, gluten really is an ingredient they need to avoid. Friends of mine have such a strong response to coming into contact with gluten that even a few breadcrumbs finding their way into a meal can make them violently ill.

The key, of course, is finding out whether gluten is harming your health, because roughly 85 percent of Americans do not have adverse reactions to eating gluten. Id like to do my best to give you a quick rundown on where we stand, what the current research tells us about gluten and whats the best choice for your personalized diet.

Some facts about glutenAs of January 2012, roughly 30 percent of American adults said they wanted to cut down or be free of gluten in their diets. The market research company who reported on this, The NPD Group, said that since they started studying eating habits in1976, Americans have continually expressed a desire to consume healthier foods and beverages.For my parents' generation, that meant avoiding fat, cholesterol, sugar and sodium in their diets. However, although many people still wish to cut back on those substances, they are not a growing concern among the population. But gluten has become an increasing concern, at least during the current decade.

Whats caused the rising interest in going gluten-free?Part of the rising concern is simply a growing awareness of celiac disease and gluten intolerance, and the potential health issues gluten can cause sufferers. In 2003, a large studyperformed in the United States found that celiac disease occurred in roughly 1 percent of the U.S. population, which didn't seem like a large number until people realized this was 10 times higher than thought at the time.

As a result, many more studies were performed. These studies showed that there were potential health benefits to avoiding gluten for people suffering from chronic inflammatory conditions, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, autism and schizophrenia. For autism and schizophrenia, for example, 2025 percent of those with these conditions saw improvements while eating a gluten-free diet.

The changes related to gluten in recent yearsEven though we now know about 1 percent of the population suffers from celiac disease, many people remain unaware of their condition. Part of the problem is that the disease is five times more common now than it was 50 years ago. Many of our health professionals working today probably learned very little about celiac disease in school because there really wasnt any reason to. Though, certainly, most of them have become more informed over the years, all of that takes time to filter down to their patients and the population at large. So, while were going in the right direction these days, finding the right personal choice for you and your family might require some trial and error at home.

Figuring out if gluten really is an ingredient you should avoidThe symptoms of celiac disease can vary a lot from one person to the next. Both you and your child, for instance, could have celiac disease, but your symptoms might be entirely different. Making this even more complicated, some people may not have any symptoms at all.

In any case, the most common include bloating (or a feeling of fullness or swelling in the abdomen), chronic diarrhea, constipation, gas, nausea, irregular bowel movements, stomach pain or vomiting. For children especially, celiac disease does need to be dealt with because it causes them to be unable to absorb the nutrients they need for their bodies to properly develop. If you notice any form of stunted growth or development in your kids, it's worth considering if celiac disease is the cause.

How do you figure out if you should be avoiding gluten?As I mentioned earlier, roughly 1 percent of the population suffers from celiac disease, and nonceliac gluten sensitivity affects between 5 and 13 percent of Americans as well. There are many variations of these sensitivities, but their health effects are very real. Both of these groups of people should work to avoid gluten and remove it from their diets entirely.

However, for the rest of the population, there is very little evidence that avoiding gluten will offer you any health benefits.Interestingly enough, one study found that out of 7,471 adults who were observed, the 73 eating a gluten-free diet had higher concentrations of arsenic in their urine and mercury in their bloodpossibly as a result of including more rice and fish in their gluten-free diets.

Trying the gluten-free diet yourselfCeliac disease remains difficult to diagnose, but it is attempted based on your medical and family history, a physical exam, blood test, genetic test, or a skin or intestinal biopsy. Nonceliac gluten sensitivity remains even harder to diagnose. However, sufferers who try a gluten-free diet do have noticeably positive physical and mental changes.

Still, its not going to be easy for you to switch to a gluten-free diet. It requires significant lifestyle changes. However, theres lots of information and foods out there to get you started. Persistence, your doctors help and an open mind remain the keys to your success.

If any of the several diets you read about, or worse still followed, worked, you wouldn't have to go on another diet ever again. Or to be clear, you could go on another round of the same diet. It's a little like looking for a cure for baldness. If it worked, then there wouldn't be so many silver bullet options advertised on billboards and in the newspapers. The competition is fierce and the cures are constantly churned out by the sellers of snake oil. We have come a long way but beyond the fancy explanations is the simple formula: Calories in, calories out. It's deliciously simple and doesn't require you to completely eliminate any food groups from your diet.

The question "Do you want fries with that?" seems to have become redundant in Dubai. Everything that could be served with fries is served with fries. You often cannot upsize your burger, but you can upsize your order of fries and your drink of choice. Cooking potatoes at the temperature in a deep fryer means that the fries you consume could be harmful. Starch undergoes deleterious changes at that temperature. But now there's a healthier option which is air fryers. There are already restaurants that serve air fried chips. What makes shallow frying difficult in restaurants is the sheer volume of orders to be handled. To spend time over fries as they cook slowly will take both time and effort as opposed to the ease of using a deep fryer to cook them in minutes. At some fast food joints you can replace your salad with a proportionate order of fries.

There are lunch deals and there are promotions at restaurants. You get a good deal but you're often consuming a whole lot of salt and fat. As a fast food fan myself, I don't mean to preach. I may just have to temper my views with the warning, "Do as I say and not as I do." But it's common in the dieting universe to know what's bad for you and eat it anyway. But you could wake up one morning and decide that you aren't going to punish your body anymore and actually listen to yourself. It has been said that we should take the advice that we give others. The advice that you should have been taken years ago yourself and that you still hand out unasked to anyone who broaches the subject of weight loss.

And what does this digression have to do with fad diets? Everything in all possible ways in all possible universes. It's important that we get out of the panacea mentality.

"Stay away from carrots and you'll be fine," said nobody ever. But does it make sense at all to vilify one food group and place the others on a pedestal? Or does taking a diet completely out of context and continent show great wisdom? It would be like reading a book about running a company in the US of A and then seeking to apply the insights to running a company in Dubai.

To return to the central point of this diatribe, watch what goes into your mouth and how much of it does. Also have as accurate an idea of how much exercise you would need to do to burn the calories you have eaten. Leave the obfuscating and the detoxing to the creators of fad diets. Some of them have gone bankrupt; others have become yesterday's news and adorn the racks of second-hand books stores everywhere. Oh, what tales they would tell, if they could, of failed diets and years of frustration.

The tragedy of fad diets is you have people going on different diets for decades. And at the end of these diets they are not sufficiently healthier to justify the hardship that they went through. It paints a sad picture of the human race if so many people are utterly miserable for so many years of their lives. Extreme diets and even moderate diets make you hungry, irritable and tired. If you lived in isolation then it wouldn't be a problem. But if you've got to be around people, accomplish things and be an adult, a diet can give you a nasty temper. That's something that won't endear you to anyone at all.

Of course, there's the school of thought that says you need to suffer. The championing of suffering is a trope in a lot of discussions on pretty much any endeavour. Make sure that you listen and you listen well to all well-meaning souls. Or better still just humour them. You know your life and your problems better than anybody else. When it comes to fitness, one size doesn't fit all. Another uncomfortable truth is that if you really want to lose weight, you will have to make lifestyle changes. Simple cosmetic or category changes will get you only so far as nowhere. That's the challenge: Changing your lifestyle. And to reiterate the painful truth: Calories in, calories out.

Dietary patterns of the Mediterranean diet can be related to a lower diagnose of the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to a study published in the journal Pediatrics.

The study is the first scientific work dealing with the relation between the Mediterranean diet and ADHD in children and adolescents.

It evokes that some unhealthy eating habits could play a role in the development of this psychiatric disorder.

However, new researchers are necessary to establish the causality between nutrient-poor eating habits and ADHD, according to the authors.

One of the most common mental disorders among children and adolescents

The attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder belongs to the field of neurobiology, and affects around 3,4% of children and adolescents worldwide.

This is one of the most common mental disorders among children and teenagers, and its consequences can last until adulthood.

The main symptoms are hyperactivity, impulsiveness and attention-deficit, which show more intensely in children of the same age who dont suffer from this illness.

So far, the most efficient intervention for ADHD is a combination of the psychological and pharmacological treatments with the intervention of an educational psychologist.

The mechanisms that link a low-quality diet and ADHD are still unknown. Previous scientific studies have associated some dietary patterns (diets with processed food and low in fruit and vegetables) with ADHD.

However, it is known that an unbalanced dietary pattern can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients (iron, zinc, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, etc.) for the cognitive and physical growth and they seem to play an essential role in the etiology of ADHD.

A total of 120 children and adolescents (60 diagnosed with ADHD and 60 controls) were studied in this study, which has been financially supported by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Institute of Health Carlos III).

According to authors, this new research doesnt establish a cause-effect relation between dietary patterns and ADHD, but it can help determining specific dietary strategies to improve the quality of life for both the affected patients and their families.

A vicious circle: impulsiveness, unhealthy diets and ADHD

The relation between an unhealthy diet and ADHD could also be an example of reverse causation.

We dont know if these kids suffer from ADHD due an unhealthy diet, or if the disorder makes them to eat an excess of fat and sugar to balance their impulsiveness or emotional distress.

We believe this is a vicious circle: the impulsiveness of children with ADHD makes them to eat unhealthily; therefore they dont eat the nutrients they need and it all worsens their symptoms.

Mediterranean diet: nutrition and health

Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables and healthy fats, provides most of the nutrients in the right proportion.

The new study doesnt state that the Mediterranean diet could be a protection factor against ADHDF but it indicates that children and adolescents need healthy diets, since this is a moment when their bodies need the best nutrients to grow properly and reach a healthy life during adulthood.

The authors of the study believe more studies are needed to determine if a change in dietary habits towards a healthy diet -such as the Mediterranean one- could serve to reverse or improve ADHD symptoms.

When you're trying to lose weight, get into shape or manage a condition like type 2 diabetes, it can be confusing to choose from the 20 different diets that all promise superb health and massive weight loss.

One diet that has gained popularity of late is the ketogenic diet, also known as the 'keto diet', a strict low carb, high fat way of eating.

To find out more about the keto diet, The Huffington Post Australia spoke to two health experts.

"The keto diet is basically a very low-carb diet to encourage the body to use fat as fuel instead of glucose," nutritionist Fiona Tuck told HuffPost Australia. "The lower the carbohydrate intake, the quicker the body enters a fat burning state."

The diet promotes eating fewer than 50 grams of carbohydrates a day to encourage the body into a state of ketosis, where the body is almost completely fuelled by fat (rather than glucose in the form of carbohydrates).

"When we dramatically limit carbohydrate intake, the body needs to look for an alternate fuel source, calling on the body to convert its supply of fat to glucose, a process called ketosis," Tuck said.

"Ketosis produces ketone bodies which are produced from the breakdown of fats in the liver. When the body calls on fat stores to supply energy, we lose weight.

"Some keto diets promote as little as 15-20 grams of carbohydrates a day. Carbohydrates are contained in a variety of foods such as bread, rice, pasta, whole grains, fruits and starchy vegetables."

According to nutritionist Anthony Power, by drastically reducing cabrohydrates in the diet, increasing fat and pushing the body into ketosis, the body uses a more stable source of fuel.

"The ketogenic diet is producing an alternative fuel for the body, not fuelling primarily on glucose from carbohydrates. It's fuelling on the breakdown of fat. We don't need outside glucose," Power said.

"A few thousand years ago, the body needed to be able to breakdown our own fat, or fat in animal products, to fuel our brain and body. And it did that by ketones."

Fat also has a much smaller impact on blood sugar levels, Power added, especially compared to carbohydrates and protein.

While giving up carbs sounds like an impossible feat, there are two significant pros for the ketogenic diet.

"The positives -- it's a quick and reliable way to lose weight quickly," Tuck said. "So it's better suited to someone that needs to lose weight quickly in a short period of time. For example, a morbidly obese person in need of medical intervention."

Because fat does not impact insulin the way carbohydrates too, Power said the ketogenic diet is ideal for people who are diabetic or insulin resistant. Research is proving this to be effective, too.

"The World Health Organisation currently estimates that 400 million people worldwide have diabetes -- nearly half a billion people," Power said. "Why? Because eating carbohydrates (which converts to glucose) then increases our blood sugar, increases our insulin, leads to weight gain and eventually heart disease and diabetes.

"The majority of patients I use the ketogenic diet for are diabetics, those with heart disease and gastrointestinal tract issues (reflux, constipation, bloating), and they've had great results when they reduce their carbohydrates."

According to Tuck, following a ketogenic diet can be potentially damaging to health, particularly in terms of nutritional deficiencies.

"If followed under medical supervision for a short period of time, it can be very successful. However, long term is not recommended due to potential side effects," Tuck said.

"Side effects of a long term ketogenic diet can include muscle loss, dizziness, loss of mental clarity and focus, kidney damage and acidosis.

"Cutting out food groups for a long period of time may also put the body at risk of nutritional deficiencies. Limiting carbohydrate intake means a higher fat and protein intake, leading to possible over-consumption of saturated fats and proteins."

Due to the strict nature of the diet, following a ketogenic diet can also be isolating and unsustainable.

"Cutting out carbohydrates to the degree that is required for the body to go into ketosis makes the diet very limited and potentially antisocial to follow," Tuck said.

Before starting any diet, it's important to see a GP, particularly those with health conditions, who are elderly, pregnant, on medication and who have a high intensity job and rely on mental alertness or physical exertion.

"Whatever diet you start, do it for a reason and have an endpoint," Power explained.

And if you don't need to diet, don't.

"If you're getting along fine in terms of the food you're eating, your body is not inflamed, you're not diabetic, you're not overweight, then terrific. But for those 400 million patients in the world today, putting them on a carbohydrate restricted diet works."

The main principles of the keto diet is a reduction of carbs to 50 grams or fewer, and an increase in fats.

"The ideal fat is grass-fed meat and butter, olive oil, avocado, oily fish, nuts and seeds -- not having mountains of highly processed vegetable oils or margarine that have been highly treated," Power said.

A person can check whether they're actually in a state of ketosis through urine testing strips as well as through blood and breath tests.

Power does warn people against starting the ketogenic diet without supervision or properly researching (researching online for 10 minutes doesn't count).

"That's the problem. Patients can feel pretty bad -- achy, irritable, poor sleep, cramping," Power told HuffPost Australia. "But they haven't increased their sodium, potassium or magnesium.

"When you go on a ketogenic diet, your body does change, including levels of electrolytes, potassium, sodium and magnesium. You're changing in a positive way but for many patients, for the first few weeks (especially those who are diabetic or have blood sugar issues) you have to really monitor it."

Even still, the ketogenic diet may not work for you.

"Everyone responds differently. You may lose 30 kilos, your best friend may lose three kilos and feel horrible. It's such an individual thing," Power said.

"It's not 'no carbohydrates' forever. It's just finding what amount is good for you and finding that sweet spot."

Arnold Schwarzenegger says he doesn't dwell on the affair that cost him his marriage to Maria Shriver and is focused on having a great relationship with his kids.

Schwarzenegger and Shriver separated in 2011 after she discovered he had fathered a child with the family maid in 1997. The actor and former California governor tells Men's Journal he would have done things differently, but beating himself up it isn't going to change anything.

Schwarzenegger also opened up about his running feud with fellow Republican President Donald Trump, whom Schwarzenegger succeeded as host of "The Apprentice." Schwarzenegger refused to support Trump during the campaign, and Trump has since lashed out at Schwarzenegger.

Of Trump, Schwarzenegger says he was tempted to "smash his face into the table," but instead settled on a Twitter response.

Men and women often make an effort to lose weight before special events such as weddings or vacations. While many people do so in healthy ways, others take their weight loss efforts to the extreme.

Healthy weight loss for any occasion requires a long lead time, so that individuals can safely shed between one and two pounds per week with a healthy mix of diet and exercise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Trimming between 500 and 1,000 calories per day from their diets can help individuals lose weight safely.

We are truly a blessed generation to be born in the era of sexting. An upgrade from its older computer-generation sibling, cybersex, sexting is a magical wonderland where you can connect with your significant other by sharing erotic messages and nude pictures of each other without a care in the world. But like most magical wonderlands, even sexting has its hidden, lurking monsters. A small goof up has the power to smear your good name, or worse, put you in jail. So follow this seven-step rule and enjoy sexting, tension free!

Be wary of the persons age. Always do a background check before you sext the person. Check their social media page or ask their friends for clues. If you sext an under aged person, you may end up in prison. Better safe than sorry.

Crop out your face or anything that gives your identity away. You may trust the person with your life, but sometimes when things have to go wrong, they will! Their phone might end up in the wrong hands or hackers may leak those images. So stay safe and crop your face out of the pictures.

Always sext sober. This is a no brainer, but drunk sexting is a big no-no! The morning-after regret of an embarrassing sext is irreversible. So do yourself a favour and lay off your phone once you are drunk. Plus, in an inebriated state, you dont want to send your pictures to your family Whatsapp group.

Use a secure device. Your phone might be uploading your images to the cloud storage as soon as they are clicked. When you erase an image from your phone, it could still be present in your cloud folder. Check your phones default settings before you click any pictures.

Clean as you go. This is not just a maxim for the hospitality industry but also for those reckless sexters who dont delete evidence. If you dont want your friends or family seeing the remnants of your hot textual escapades, kindly delete the pictures and the racy messages once you are done.

Remove EXIF data. So you have cleverly cropped out your picture before sending a nudie to your person, but you could still be giving away your identity. You might unwittingly end up exposing yourself if you dont delete the metadata from your pics. Some cameras come equipped with geotags which tell where the picture was taken. If you use Windows, right click on your images, go to properties and details. There will a highlighted link on the bottom that reads Remove Properties and Personal Information click on it.

Use an app that secures your privacy. Sometimes, people are just plain mean and we are too paranoid for our own good! For us, there are sexting-safe apps like Bleep which are completely private. The messages sent here disappear soon after they are read, leaving no trace of your sexting history!
