When it comes to losing weight, slimmers can choose from a long list of diet plans to shed the pounds. From the low-carb keto diet to cutting to going vegan like Simon Cowell, there are many ways to slim down. On top of diet and exercise, there are other things which have been shown to help speed up the process even more. Using coconut oil can help flatten abs, and by swapping their usual cooking oil for it, slimmers could lose weight and burn belly fat quickly. Abdominal fat, better known as belly fat, is the fat that tends to lodge around your organs. Belly fat isnt just an issue due to its appearance. It can actually put people at a risk of more serious health issues such as heart disease diabetes and inflammation.

Any reduction in abdominal fat is likely to have very positive effects on ones metabolic health and drastically reduce risk of chronic disease.

By ditching current cooking fats for coconut oil, dieters could see huge improvements.

How does it work?

Coconut oil is one of the worlds most friendly fats.

It contains a unique combination of fatty acids, which have powerful effects on metabolism.

Several studies show that just by adding coconut oil to your diet, slimmers can lose fat, especially the "dangerous" fat in the abdominal cavity.

Coconut oil is high in Medium Chain Triglycerides, which are fatty acids that are metabolised differently than most other fats, leading to beneficial effects on metabolism.

In one study, 15-30 grams (1 to 2 tablespoons) of medium chain fats per day increased energy expenditure by 5 per cent, totalling about 120 calories per day.

As well as its ability to speed up metabolism, coconut oil can also reduce appetite as it makes slimmers feel fuller.

Many studies on medium chain fatty acids show that, compared to the same amount of calories from other fats, they increase feelings of fullness and lead to an automatic reduction in calorie intake.

There are also other studies showing that medium chain fats lead to weight loss, reduced waist circumference and various improvements in metabolic health.

In one study on obese men, 30 grams of coconut oil for 4 weeks reduced waist circumference by 2.86 cm.

How should it be eaten?

Slimmers will be surprised to know that by consuming just a small amount of coconut oil, they could see improvements to their weight.

Studies have found that 2 tablespoons seems to be an effective dose.

This has been shown to benefit weight, reduce belly fat and improve other health issues.

Coconut oil is ideal for cooking because almost 90 per cent of its fatty acids are saturated, making it extremely stable at high temperatures.

Eating grapefruit before daily meals has also been found to speed up the weight loss process.

Rich in antioxidants, nutrients and fibre, grapefruit is one of the healthiest citrus fruits that can be eaten.

It has several properties linked to weight loss, especially its fibre content, which helps promote fullness and reduce calorie intake.

Diet and exercises can do their part, but here are some simple tips and tricks that can prove to be helpful if you are working towards getting a flat stomach. Check it out.

A flat stomach is what everyone wants. Many people have a problem with their belly area when it comes down to fat loss. In addition to weight loss, fat around your belly can make you look bloated stopping you from wearing your favourite shirts and sweaters. While exercise is the best way to reduce that fat, going to the gym becomes a tedious task; especially when you have a hectic schedule. So here are 5 easy tips and tricks you can follow to get a flat stomach without going to the gym.

Cut down on those sweeteners

Sugar has the most amount of calories which can directly create a problem in the stomach area. Not just sugar but sweetened drinks, sodas, coffee and smoothies can all be the culprit for it. If you are tired of just drinking water, you can be choosy with your drinks by ditching the regular whipped cream with almond or coconut milk. Fruit or vegetable juices can also give the same rush while also limiting the sugar intake.

Stretch

The fat around your abdomen could also be bloating. A sedentary lifestyle and airy foods can cause food and air to get trapped in the intestines. It can often cause discomfort and the feeling of being stuffed all the time. So just stretch out the abdomen area to release all the toxins from the digestive system.

Go Vegetarian for Dinner

Eating meat and heavy foods can take a longer time to digest which causes all the fat to get accumulated around the waist. This can get worse when you are sleeping and getting no exercise whatsoever. So go vegetarian or vegan for dinner so that the food can be digested easily leaving no room for accumulation of fat.

Reduce the stress level

We know that it is easy said than done and only telling someone to reduce stress is not automatically going to do the drill. But, stress can actually release a hormone called cortisol that is responsible for the increase in appetite which could be the reason behind your large waist.

What do you do to get that waist in control? Let us know in the comments section below.

Weight Loss: 4 ways to get a flat stomach without stepping foot in the gym - PINKVILLA

When Sarah Armisto heads to SUNY Purchase this Sunday morning for the Westchester Walk to End Alzheimers it will be with a heavy heart.

In June, Armisto lost her father, John, to the disease. While it came a few years after he was officially diagnosed, there were warning signs for more than a year before that. He was 72 years old at the time of his death.

Armisto, a Harrison resident, has participated in the past three walks at Purchase, but for the first time she will traverse the campus in his memory.

Its definitely going to be different, just knowing that hes not here, she said. For the past five years Ive watched him deteriorate in front of me. Hes always been physically here, and unfortunately, he lost his battle. But hes not suffering anymore, theres no more pain, so itll be different because there are no more next steps to the disease.

On Sunday, Armisto will be one of about 1,500 participants in the second of five walks this fall organized by the Hudson Valley chapter of the Alzheimers Association. For the third consecutive year she is a volunteer closely involved in the planning of the walk as well as other initiatives for the organization throughout the year.

David Sobel, the president and CEO of the Alzheimers Associations Hudson Valley chapter, said that the larger organization with the help of its legions of supporters who come out in force has helped make it the third-leading fundraising outfit in the world for Alzheimers research. It is exceeded only by government funding from the United States and China, he said.

The United States plans to increase funding for Alzheimers research in Fiscal Year 2020, providing an additional $350 million that will push next years total funding to about $2.8 billion, Sobel said. With that type of success, Sobel is optimistic that treatments and a cure for the dreaded disease is closer than ever before.

We have a tremendous group of advocates who continue to lobby governments to provide us with enough funding so we can find a cure, find the cure for Alzheimers, Sobel said.

Armisto said she, too, is extremely bullish on researchers finding a cure in her lifetime.

I know were going to have a cure, she said. So it makes me so happy to know that when I get to that age, the age of my father when he was first diagnosed, that this isnt going to be something that Im going to have to worry about. Its something that can be treated.

Sobel said more is being learned on a regular basis, including how lifestyle choices could improve your chances of avoiding Alzheimers. A healthy diet, exercise, avoiding smoking, refraining from drinking too much alcohol and getting about seven hours sleep a night all help, he said.

For Armisto, having so many people rally around a common issue this Sunday is inspiring.

At a time when everyone is so divided, this is one of the few issues that can really bring people together no matter what you believe in, Armisto said.

Last year, the five walks in the Hudson Valley raised just over $1 million, according to Sobel. Last Saturday was the first event, the Putnam County walk. For those who cant make this Sunday at Purchase, there will also be the Orange/Sullivan walk on Oct. 5, the Dutchess/Ulster Walk on Oct. 19 and the Oct. 20 event in Rockland.

For more information on all of those events, visit https://www.alz.org/hudsonvalley. To register for Sundays walk at Purchase, visit http://www.WestchesterWalk.org. Same-day registration begins at 8:30 a.m. A ceremony commences at 10 a.m. with the walk stepping off at 10:20 a.m.

Walk to End Alzheimer's Comes to Westchester on Sunday - The Examiner News

News Release, American Heart Association

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6, 2019 Almost two-thirds of medical students had above-normal blood pressure and were more than twice as likely to experience clinicallyhigh blood pressurecompared to the general public, according to a study presented at the American Heart Associations Hypertension 2019 Scientific Sessions.

High blood pressure is typically linked with older age, being overweight, smoking and/or being in general poor health. However, this study found that many first- and second-year medical students had abnormalblood pressure levelsof which they were unaware, potentially putting them on a path for heart health risks at a younger age.

Researchers at Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tennessee, surveyed 106 male and 105 female medical students whose ages ranged between 21 and 37, with the average age being 25.8 years. The students also provided information about tobacco use, alcohol consumption, diet, exercise habits, mental health, social support and past medical history. Their blood pressure and waistlines were measured for this study.

The study results revealed that:

The researchers said that its unclear why young men would be significantly more prone to high blood pressure than women, however, the stresses of a demanding medical education in addition to anxiety, lack of exercise, lack of sleep and/or poor diet may be contributing factors.

Elevated blood pressure should not be something that we only associate with being older, said lead study author Jacek Bednarz, Jr., a third-year medical student at Lincoln Memorial University. Young people lack awareness about their own blood pressure. Getting your blood pressure regularly checked is a simple way to protect ones health.

According to the American Heart Associations Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics-2019 Update, an estimated 103 million Americansor about half of all U.S. adultshave high blood pressure, a major public health threat that accounted for 11% of deaths from 2005 to 2015. During the same time period, the number of deaths due to high blood pressure rose by almost 38%.

While this is a small study, it is interesting. As one of the most common and dangerous risk factors for heart disease and stroke, all people, even those who are young and believed to be in good health, should have their blood pressure checked routinely, said the American Heart Association Chief Science and Medical Officer Mariell Jessup, M.D., FAHA.

Data compiled by the American Heart Association shows approximately 80% of all cardiovascular disease can be prevented by controlling high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol, along with adopting healthy lifestyle behaviors such as not smoking. Positive lifestyle behaviors such as eating healthy foods, regularly engaging in physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight could have the most impact since they contribute to multiple health conditions.

Additional studies are needed to assess the prevalence and heightened risk of high blood pressure in medical students, and the risk factors that lead to it.

Over a third of Brits experience back pain every year whether its our busy lifestyles, bad postures or the other health issues, more and more people are experiencing back pain which is affecting their everyday lives.

Our modern lifestyles are usually to blame for the common condition, with many of us slouched over desks or phones for most of the day.

Most people will experience back pain from time to time throughout their lives. Often this is not a cause for concern.

So how can we treat minor back pain at home?

Prima spoke to Consultant Neurologist, Chris Chandler from Neurosurgery Partnership at Harley Street Clinic in London, who provides his advice for treating every day aches and pains.

Bad posture is one of the biggest causes of everyday back pain, so making improvements is crucial.

Practicing a good posture will help prevent and reduce common back pain, Dr Chandler explained.

Having a poor posture can result in poor muscle strength and stiffness which can exacerbate lower back pain. Being conscious of the way you stand or sit will help you to maintain a good posture.

Some of the most common bad posture mistakes include slouching, Donald Duck posture aka standing with your bum sticking out, and leaning on one leg while standing.

The NHS recommends a number of different exercises to correct certain common posture mistakes like planks, leg raises, chest stretches and seated rows.

This might seem like a no-brainer but the importance of exercise cant be over stated when it comes to keeping your back and whole body functioning normally

Regular exercise can really help to reduce everyday back pain, as well as prevent back pain, Dr Chandler said.

This does not necessarily have to be strenuous and can include yoga, walking and swimming. Keeping as mobile as possible will help alleviate pain and stiffness.

NHS recommended exercises for back pain includes pelvic tilts, back extensions and knee rolls.

Dr Chandler urged that the human skeleton is not built for long periods of sitting down, so excessive sitting can lead to back issues.

Standing desks are becoming more common in the workplace and one of the biggest benefits they have is on our backs, he said.

Klaus VedfeltGetty Images

The human skeleton is not built for long periods of sitting down so standing desks are an excellent option if your job involves sitting down for long stretches of time.

Reducing activity is a no no when treating an achy back.

Dont reduce activity in order to rest your achy back, Dr Chandler says.

As mentioned, gentle exercise will help get rid of everyday back pain. If you stay immobile, this could potentially worsen the pain.

If it gets bad, seek help. You cant solve all problems at home sometimes.

Dont suffer in silence with severe or persistent pain, Dr Chandler urged.

If youre struggling to cope with pain or its taking a long time to resolve, its time to speak to a doctor.

Theyll be able to rule out underlying causes and ensuring youre following the right management plan.

However, if you have lower back pain which lasts for more than 19 days, it should be evaluated by a medical professional.

This is particularly important if you have bowel or bladder disturbances or if you experience tingling sensations or weaknesses in one or both legs.

Visceral fat is a type of body fat deemed harmful because of where its stored in the body - the abdominal cavity next to many vital organs. When visceral fat builds up here, it increases a persons risk of health complications, including cardiovascular disease. So what can you do to reduce it? A poor diet can lead to high levels of visceral fat, so making changes to what you eat is key. One diet proven effective at getting rid of visceral fat is the keto diet.

Also known as the ketogenic diet, the keto diet is a popular low-carb diet which has been shown in many studies to reduce visceral fat - more so than low-fat diets.

The ketosis diet drastically reduces carb intake and replaces it with fat.

This puts the body into a natural metabolic state called ketosis, whereby the body begins to burn fat for energy because it doesnt have enough carbohydrates to burn.

One study involving 28 overweight and obese adults found those who followed a ketogenic diet lost more fat, especially visceral fat, than people following a low-fat diet.

The participants did this while eating roughly 300 more calories per day.

So what should you eat while on the keto diet plan?

Foods you may want to consider as part of the keto diet are:

Working in hand with the keto diet, eating plenty of protein can also help with visceral fat loss.

Studies have demonstrated how protein can help fend off hunger by increasing levels of fullness hormones, and also boost metabolism.

One study in 23,876 adults showed a higher protein intake was linked to a lower body mass index, higher good HDL cholesterol and a smaller waist circumference, which is a marker of visceral fat.

Alongside making changes to what you eat, its also important to regularly exercise if you want to lose visceral fat.

The most effective exercise for getting rid of visceral fat has been shown to be aerobic exercise.

An analysis of 15 studies involving 852 people compared how well different types of exercise reduced visceral fat without dieting.

The researchers found moderate and high-intensity aerobic exercises were most effect at reducing visceral fat without dieting.

Some experts believe supplements can help reduce visceral fat.

Losing weight is hard, but you know whats harder? Dealing with the numerous physical ailments and mental stresses that an obese body brings with itself. Being obese can lead to type 2 diabetes, heart diseases and even certain types of cancers along with developing anxiety triggers.

39-year-old Inder Joshi, who weighed 130 kgs, a couple of months ago, tells us that obesity comes with many health complications and your generic medicines can only subside these issues and not completely halt them. To get rid of them permanently, you need to take charge of your life by fixing the root causes of obesity a sedentary lifestyle with a habit of zero exercising and an excess consumption of junk food otherwise youre heading towards disaster at a very steady pace.

Evening snacks 1 cup of green tea, roasted chana

Dinner A big bowl of tomato soup
