Motion sickness
If you get sick easily while riding on an airplane, then you may want to think about bringing along something to ease your pain. The most important thing to remember is to take any medicine for this before you start to fly. Most of the drugs used to help motion sickness are designed to stop it before it starts. If you forgot to take the medication, there are always bags handy if you feel like you are going to be sick.
The Atkins diet is the focus of these comments from the American Heart Association:
“The Atkins diet holds the controversial belief that low fat is not the only way to go for a healthier lifestyle and weight control. Dr. Atkins blamed carbohydrates (grains, pastas, fruits, potatoes) for weight gain. He believed that if you reduced your carbohydrate intake then you would lose weight. Too many carbohydrates in your diet encourage your body to retain fat.”
When the body absorbs simple carbohydrates quickly, it causes an insulin response that speeds the conversion of calories to fat. The plan focuses on the consumption of nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods and vita-nutrient supplementation. It also restricts processed and refined carbohydrates (which make up to approximately more then 50 per cent of people s diets). It encourages you to eliminate sugar from your diet as this contributes to a slower metabolism.
The Atkins diet is designed to be a program on which you can maintain a healthy weight for a lifetime and it is highly suitable (but not restricted) to those who prefer eating animal protein. The diet offers people who have failed on a low-fat diet a healthy, effective and safe alternative. Instead of carbs and sugar, eaters are allowed plenty of fat and protein.
