Gelatin is another component of royal jelly and one of the primary precursors of collagen. It is a potent anti-aging compound that helps to keep the youthful, while supporting the organs, glands, and muscular systems. It contains vital fatty acids, sugars, sterols, phosphorus compounds, and acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is essential in order to properly transmit nerve impulses. It is also important for the proper functioning of the endocrine system. An insufficient amount of acetylcholine often leads to a susceptibility to a variety of nerve disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis.

Royal jelly has many properties. Among which include: antibacterial, antiviral, antibiotic, tonic, nutritive, and anti-aging. It is very beneficial to the immune, cardiovascular, endocrine, integumentary, nervous, reproductive, cellular, skeletal, hepatic, and respiratory systems.

Although aging is inevitable, the process can be slowed significantly with supplements. Researchers in Argentina have been working to document the ability of royal jelly to both slow down tissue deterioration and even reverse it. For example, the story of Noel Johnson should be noted, as he experienced of rebirth of health at age eighty. In 1964, at age sixty-five he was refused life insurance because of a weak and damaged heart. At this point he was also cautioned to restrict his physical activity in order to prevent death. In 1989, at age ninety, Johnson discussed the book he wrote, The Living Proof… I Have Found the Fountain of Youth, which claims that his use of bee products, along with a solid nutritional program, is responsible for changing his life. Despite the additional exercise and diet changes, Johnson attributes most of his vitality to the bee products he used. He claims that he discovered bee's gift at age seventy, as the foods restored his manhood, brought him to full vigor and sexual potency, and continue to nourish every cell in his body. Johnson claims to be improving in every way without spending any money on medicine.

Royal jelly has been found to help with many conditions. Some of these include menopause, impotence, infertility, chronic fatigue, skin blemishes, wrinkles, immune system problems, viral and bacterial infections, endocrine disorders, hormonal balance, cardiovascular disease, weight control, inflammation, liver ailments, cancer, arthritis, memory, depression, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, asthma, and mental exhaustion.

In order to obtain the best results when using this, or any bee product, it is important to consult your health care provider before beginning any regimen. For more information on the many beneficial effects provided by royal jelly, please feel free to consult a representative from your local health food store with questions.

Are you one of those people that only wants to date a thin man or woman?

Have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately?

Are you asking for something that you are not even delivering yourself? If you answered "yes" to some of these questions, where do you go from here?

Perhaps you have wanted to make changes but are unsure of how to start. I know that you have read many articles regarding weight loss and can't decide which is better, low-fat, low-carbohydrate, high-protein, and so forth.

Before we get to that question, I want you to be aware of a medical term. This term is called the Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR. The BMR is how many calories your body burns while at total rest. This value is influenced by, age, current weight, height, sex, and many other factors. If you search online, you will find many online calculators. For example, my BMR is about 1542 Calories per day. This number is then multiplied by a factor to get an estimate of my total caloric needs. I my case, I would multiply by 1.55, the factor for a moderately active person, to the BMR. This results in a total caloric intake of 2390 Calories to maintain my current weight.

The difference between the BMR and my total caloric needs, is only 848 Calories. I now want make a ratio of this difference to my full caloric requirement. This ratio becomes 848 / 2390, or 35%.

This means that there is only a 35% difference between what I need to eat to live and what I need to eat with an active lifestyle and not gain weight! That is not much of a difference to work with.

If we look at some high Calorie foods, we can see how little this is. Two oatmeal cookies are about 250 Calories and one cup of butter pecan ice cream will pile on 600 Calories. We have already eaten our 850 Calorie difference!

So, how do we solve this difficult problem?

The answer is simple and not so simple at the same time. Despite all the variations in diet types that you may be aware of, if you burn up more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. If you burn less, you will gain weight. This is a well proven fact.

One way to do this is by calorie counting. There are numerous software tools, many for free, that will help you accomplish this task. I downloaded a free program to my iPhone called "Lose It!" that I use to record each meal and keep track of my daily intake. I find it fun to use and very helpful.

It is true that there are problems with calorie counting as it is tedious and it is sometimes difficult to know the portion size. But, it is still a good way to start and learn how much you can eat.

Here are some easy tips to follow:

Be sure to see your doctor before you embark on any diet or exercise plan
Don't skip meals as it is associated with obesity
Eat slowly giving enough time for the "I've eaten enough" feeling to develop
Eat a healthy diet
Avoid liquid calories
Find a sports activity you enjoy and can do regularly

The next time that you decide that you want a skinny girlfriend, remember the old saying, "What is good for the goose is good for the gander."

Now, that is some food for thought!

This fact alone proves the usefulness of counting calories in order to lose weight. A calorie counter can help you to know and track the number of calories that are entering your body based on the foods you eat and their portion sizes. This will enable you to analyze your diet and make the necessary changes. You will be able to chart and control your calories, which will allow you to change your dietary habits accordingly so that you can reach your weight loss goals quickly and effectively.

A calorie counter can help you to determine how many calories your body needs to be able to function each day. From there, you can factor in your physical activity level to know how much to consume and how much to burn to be able to lose weight. The average American consumes far more calories than he or she needs each day, thus the epidemic of weight gain and creeping obesity. Whatever calories are not used are stored as fat.

Using a calorie counter can be quite an eye-opening experience. Most people don't realize how calorie-dense their diet actually is. During holiday seasons, the amount of calories consumed is off the charts. An excess of calories can make you feel sluggish and tired, which causes you to reach for a quick pick up or sugar fix such as a candy bar or soda. These types of foods and drinks don't satiate, and you find yourself hungry in just a short time. Thus the cycle repeats.

A calorie counter will help you to identify bad habits and hidden calories that slip in without you even realizing. Then you will be able to attack the problem at the source.

A calorie counter is an online program that allows you to put in the foods you're eating to find out exactly how many calories you are consuming every day. Many people are not aware of how many calories different kinds of foods have. For instance, if you are going out to lunch and you go to a sandwich shop to grab a bite to eat, the eatery might not have a calorie handout with nutrition facts. Therefore, if you are on a diet, how are you supposed to know where that particular lunch will put you calorie-wise? The answer is the calorie counter. Simply punch in the kind of bread and condiments on your sandwich as well as the type of meats and veggies you've added and the calorie counter will give you an estimated calorie count for your food. It can also help you become more aware of the calories to be expected in different types of meals.

When you can become more aware of the calories you are consuming, you will have more of a chance of being able to take control of your weight. With a calorie counter on your desktop, simply keep track of the foods you are eating on a daily basis to find out where you are having your problems. If you find out that one particular lunch is delivering many more calories than you originally believed, you can cut back and therefore cut back those pounds.

Many people believe that losing weight is all in their heads. The truth is that it is a simple mathematic equation. If you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. With a calorie counter, you can become more aware of the calories you are consuming and therefore alter your lifestyle to lose weight. In many cases, the calorie counter has been the difference between fat and fabulous.

In creating the perfect diet pills that promise to transform your life; a team of pharmacists, physicians and research scientists will get engaged to do the right research on the ingredients that have been studied well for their weight loss properties. With the backing of an appropriate certification that ensure both good quality and immense potency, some weight loss supplements are designed to work hard on your body throughout the day to ensure that you end up looking like a Greek god who has come back to inhabit earth.

Our body weight is normally manipulated by factors like energy output and exercise or expenditure, calorie intake or the food intake and the efficiency of the body in processing those calories that stops them from turning into fat. Thus, well researched weight loss supplements aim at addressing these factors and aid in burning fat, suppressing appetite, increasing metabolism, preventing fat deposit formation, increasing muscle tissue formation and reduce the craving for the major fat producing carbohydrates. So diet pills which target these attributes will undoubtedly be the drug that hits the markets such that it will be consumed by men and women alike.

Weight loss supplements have to cater to men and women very differently as their bodies are extremely different and hence their metabolism and functioning is just as different. Men are more focused on building muscle than on losing weight but these two are strongly related as shedding body weight is essential in developing a lean body and getting the washboard abs that all body conscious men desire. Thus these diet pills focus on burning belly fat, increase lean muscle tissue and in increasing metabolism in men that will enable men to gain better abdominal definition and develop a good muscular physique that will be equivalent to doing a really vigorous workout.

Women are normally more weight conscious and thus will be essentially looking after their dietary habits as a woman's agenda is in weight loss and not in gaining too much muscle that makes her appear masculine. Thus weight loss supplements will change the way a woman feels about weight loss as it will target the problems women face in losing weight like difficulty with exercise, thyroid imbalance and difficult diet regimens. So diet pills work wonders on women by delivering a slender waistline, suppressing appetites and cravings for carbohydrates that render them confident enough to sport fashionable outfits.

So go ahead and rush to the nearest place where you can find these weight loss supplements that promise to reinvent you and give you a whole new life you had never imagined. And don't feel ashamed of standing in front of the mirror and saying out aloud that ‘I am simply smoking hot'.

And of course, it's good for you, right?

Not so, according to Dianne Gregg, author of The Hidden Dangers of Soy from Outskirts Press (www.hiddensoy.com). Her research has shown that too much soy in your diet can cause symptoms such as nausea, bloating, gastric disorders, unusual weight gain, thyroid disease, palpitations, shortness of breath and lack of energy.

"The image of soy is that it's this protein-packed guardian of health, but there is more and more evidence to show it's anything but that," she said. "Soy can cause thyroid damage, infertility, low testosterone in men, hair loss, digestive problems, early puberty in girls, and the development of breasts in boys. There are claims that soy lowers cholesterol, but in 2005 the American Heart Association retracted their endorsement because their studies showed that there was only a three percent decline in cholesterol levels and it wasn't significant enough to make that claim. In fact, it's been documented that prisoners in Illinois are getting sick because meat products have been replaced with soy-based products."

Soy beans are used in a wide array of food products, oils, soap, cosmetics, resins, plastics, inks, crayons, solvents, and clothing. Soybean oil is the primary source of biodiesel in the United States, accounting for 80 percent of domestic biodiesel production. Soybeans have also been used since 2001 as fermenting stock in the manufacture of a brand of vodka. It's a great commercial crop for American farmers, and is now grown on more acres than even corn.

"In today's market it's challenging to escape the reach of soy, because more than 60 percent of the food commercially available contains some form of soy," she said. "Even the fast food industry is getting into the game by claiming zero trans fats on many of their menu items, when in fact they are using soybean oil for frying and adding soy flour as filler to hamburger meat to increase their profits."

Gregg said there are three key tips for reducing your soy intake:

• Stop feeding infants soy formula that has been shown to disrupt reproduction development and increase allergy risks.
• More than 60% of the foods on the grocery store shelves contain some form of soy. It's important to know what to look for when it's not listed on the label. Most sauces, broths, canned soups and salad dressings contain soy, although it is not always listed as an ingredient on the label because the product is used in processing the foods, as opposed to as a direct ingredient.
• Stop drinking soy milk and eating soy products, except for unfermented soy which consists of miso, natto, and tempeh. Eat more grains, vegetables, fruits and wild fish as an alternative source for protein.

"The FDA is the culprit for the proliferation of soy, because it has allowed big agri-businesses who have been funding political campaigns for years to cut corners in their food production by using cheap fillers like soy, pesticides, herbicides and now, genetically modified foods," Gregg said. "Many of these are the same agents the Environmental Protection Agency claims cause cancer. In fact, the EPA considers 60 percent of all herbicides, 90 percent of all fungicides and 30 percent of all insecticides carcinogenic. So why is the FDA allowing farmers to use them in our food? It's time to safeguard our homes from these foods, and at the same time, demand the government stop giving big corporate farmers a free ride at the expense of our health."
