UNDERSTANDING THE HEART #2: OBESITY AND THE HEART- Obesity is a major risk factor for heart disease both directly and through its influence on type 2 Diabetes or Diabesity. It is important to remember that Obesity is defined as excess body fat not simply excess weight. You can have extra weight that is muscle and be lean or you can be thin with too little muscle and be obese which occurs frequently in women after age 50 and in anyone who eats too little protein while also not exercising. This type of obesity is called Sarcopenic Obesity and I coined the term in 1993. Fat that accumulates in the abdomen marked by an increased waist size accumulates around the heart. Arteries of the heart accumulate fatty plaques that can cause a heart attack. To lose abdominal fat, you need to eat the right amount of protein at every meal and after exercise and exercise regularly as part of your program of Balanced Nutrition and Healthy Active Lifestyle!! #drdavidheber #obesity #heart #armoor #jagityal #usa #HealthandNutrition https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce6bT1TAwtX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

UNDERSTANDING THE HEART #1: THE AMAZING HUMAN HEART- Understanding how your heart works and what keeps it healthy can help you lead a better life. The Heart is located in the chest and is a specialized muscle that supplies its own blood supply and contains an electrical system that keeps it beating at a rate of 60 to 100 beats per minute, a 100,000 times a day, and 3 billion times in a lifetime. The heart pumps blood in two parallel circuits (see slide). Blood goes to the lungs to get oxygen and then returns to the heart to be pumped through arteries to all the organs of your body. Once oxygen is removed by the organs and cells, the blood returns through veins to the heart to begin the process again. The Coronary arteries on the surface of the heart provide blood to the heart muscle and blocked Coronary Arteries are the cause of heart attacks. The heart also maintains blood pressure in the body. In this series, you will learn how Balanced Nutrition and a Healthy Active Lifestyle help to support a Healthy Heart!!! #drdavidheber #heart #nutrition #exercise #armoor #weightlosstips #manchiryal #jagityal #hyderabad https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce2cbbQoV0g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

UNDERSTANDING FAD DIETS #8: FOOD COMBINING FAD- Food combining is a debunked fad diet with no science behind it that claims mixing different food groups leads to weight gain. So protein and vegetables but not protein and fruits or vegetables is allowed. This diet started in the 1950’s and came back in the 1980’s as the Fit for Life Diet. While It is not unusual for people to think certain foods cause stomach upsets and think this is due to an inability to digest the food, the fact is that your intestinal tract has enzymes that can digest foods and that the Microbiome bacteria also digest foods. Your body adapts rapidly to changes in diet composition, and studies done carefully have shown that “food combining” is no more effective than any other diet that cuts calories. The right amount of protein at every meal and after exercise will help control hunger and build muscle with exercise for your Best Healthy Weight and Shape!!! #drdavidheber #diet to learn more go to www.drdavidheber.com and www.herbalifenutritioninstitute.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CdVL4Y-hl_1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

UNDERSTANDING SLEEP #1: WHY SLEEP IS IMPORTANT?- I am starting a new series on Sleep which is the fourth part of Lifestyle after Nutrition, Exercise, and Behavior. Sleep problems are an emerging global epidemic as our lives become more hectic. Here are ten reasons I will discuss in this series on why sleep is so important: 1) Better Memory;2) More Energy;3) Better Mood; 4)Better Physical Performance; 5) Less Risk of Obesity; 6) Better Metabolism and Appetite Control; 7) Better Blood Pressure; 8) Better Digestive Function; 9) Reduced Inflammation; and 10( Better Overall Wellness. Sleep 6 to 8 hours every night as part of your program of Balanced Nutrition and a Healthy Active Lifestyle!! Next time, I will talk about how Sleep Recharges the Brain!! So Stay Tuned!! #drdavidheber #sleep #health +91-8074151564 https://www.instagram.com/p/CZuRQBcAyX2/?utm_medium=tumblr

UNDERSTANDING IMMUNITY #10: PRE-,PRO-,AND POSTBIOTICS- You have heard a lot about how your Immune System works in this series. Now, I want to switch gears and talk about what you can do to support your Immunity through diet and supplements beginning with Plant Foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, spices, and fiber or phytonutrients supplements. Plants interact with the Microbiome of Healthy Soil (see slide). The roots of plants attract friendly bacteria and repel toxic bacteria. We carry our own soil in our intestines as the Microbiome. We feed soil nutrients with fertilizer and feed our gut bacteria with soluble fiber and phytonutrients from fruits, vegetables, and spices. Probiotics are live bacteria taken as supplements or consumed in fermented foods. Postbiotics are substances made by the bacteria in the gut from Prebiotics and they act locally in the gut and are absorbed into the blood stream where they can affect all the cells and organs in your body. Plant foods and Supplements from plants along with Balanced Nutrition and a Healthy Active Lifestyle support your Immunity! Next time, I will talk about a strategy to help you Eat More Plant Foods in your diet!! So Stay Tuned!!! #drdavidheber #vegetarian #plantbaseddiet #probiotics #prebiotics#postbiotics https://www.instagram.com/kbharathchandr/p/CYdCQYLo0Cf/?utm_medium=tumblr

UNDERSTANDING IMMUNITY #2: HOW VACCINES WORK- Last time, I talked about the Immune Response and today I want to tell you how Vaccines can use that Immune Response to protect you from infections and protect your community from the spread of infections (see slide). Vaccines work by imitating a part of the virus that gets detected by your Immune System as foreign. Traditionally vaccines use a weaker or killed virus to imitate the real virus, but there is a new kind of vaccine that injects messenger RNA (mRNA) instead. mRNA is made in the lab using information extracted from viral genes and does not use the whole virus. mRNA has a specific sequence of chemicals called nucleotides in a chain that your cells can read using protein machines called ribosomes to make a protein the virus needs to attach to your cells and then get inside your cells. That protein made from the mRNA code then stimulates a specific Antibody made by your Immune Cells that binds to th virus and stops it from entering your cells..You can still carry the virus in your nose and mouth after vaccination, but the virus cannot get into your cells to multiply. Vaccination also makes the community safer by making it harder for the virus to replicate itself which only goes on inside cells after infection. The right amount of protein at every meal and after exercise along with Balanced Nutrition and a Healthy Active Lifestyle support your Immunity!! Next time, I will talk about how our nutrition supports immunity through Immunonutrition!!

UNDERSTANDING IMMUNITY #1: THE IMMUNE RESPONSE- Today I am starting a new series on IMMUNITY and I want to start today by explaining how the IMMUNE RESPONSE works. When your body is infected with a virus or any bacteria or is injected with a vaccine, Immune cells are released into the blood stream and within hours release inflammatory proteins called cytokines that cause fever, muscle aches and fatigue. This is a non-specific response called Innate Immunity which also causes pain at the site of vaccination or any other injury such as cutting your finger for several days (see slide). Then over several weeks, these cells communicate with other cells that make a specific protein called an Antibody that can bind to the infecting virus or bacteria and stop just that invader from infecting your cells (see slide). All your cells have the same genes and the process that makes different organs from the same DNA code is called Epigenetics. This process enables the Immune cells to adapt specifically to any infection or vaccine and this is called Adaptive Immunity. There are also cells which retain a memory of this response which is why vaccines against small pox, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, and other viruses protect your body by stimulating an Adaptive Immune Response on reinfection at any time. 70% of the Immune Cells are located around your intestines and Balanced Nutrition and a Healthy Active Lifestyle help support your Immunity!!! Next time, I will talk about How Vaccines Work!!!

Dm me for more information UNDERSTANDING WINTER WEIGHT GAIN #4: FAT IN THE ABDOMEN- Last time, I talked about How Body Fat Grows. Today I want to talk about the Fat in the Abdomen, which is the first place you gain or lose weight. This Fat is more than just a store of fat calories, but Abdominal Fat is an organ evolved to protect you from infections and starvation. It is a limited store of calories that the body can use to overcome temporary fasting or famine. It grows so rapidly during weight gain, that it outgrows its blood supply causing the death of some fat cells and sending a message to the bone marrow to mobilize white blood cells called macrophages to clean up the dead cells. This leads to the release of factors called Cytokines into the blood stream which increase the risk of high blood pressure, Diabesity, heart disease, and dementia. A study in London demonstrated that 45% of women and 60% of men had excess abdominal fat at a normal BMI (weight for height) and waist circumference. So you don’t have to be obese to benefit from losing your excess body fat through a program of Balanced Nutrition and a Healthy Active Lifestyle!! Next time, I will talk about Winter Trigger Foods!!!
