How to get healthy without dieting | Darya Rose | TEDxSalem

Lifestyle No Comments »

Darya discusses how psychology impacts our ability to create healthy eating habits. Darya is a neuroscientist, author and popular blogger who has trained her sights and talents on solving the age-old problem of eating healthy and losing weight.

Her holistic approach to food and health is a breath of fresh air compared to the stuffy supermarket shelves of diet shakes and appetite suppressants.

After receiving her BA in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley, Darya received her PhD from UC San Francisco and writes about food, health and weight loss. Her website ‘Summer Tomato’ was one of TIME’s top 50 websites in 2011 and if social media is any indicator, her message that “life should be awesome” is reaching far and wide.

Darya describes herself as a “foodist”, which is a term for someone who has abandoned dieting to enjoy life using real food and also the name of her book – Foodist: Using Real Food and Real Science to Lose Weight Without Dieting.

Interpretation for TEDxSalem VI (2019) was provided by student interns through a collaboration between Western Oregon University, TEDxSalem, and the Deaf and interpreting communities of Oregon. The volunteer student interpreters were supported by volunteer, certified interpreters in order to minimize potential errors. Your support of these pre-professional interpreters’ growing skills is appreciated. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Everywhere you look it seems like the only solution for losing weight is by dieting. But most diet plans are restrictive boring and Incredibly difficult to sustain over time. Could there actually be another way other than tracking your calories and macros or avoiding carbs, or eating unsatisfying tasteless boring Bland Foods in amounts that never truly leave you feeling full and satisfied. Most other trainers in gym owners would say yes you absolutely need to hop on a structured diet plan to lose weight but I say no. And don’t just take my word for it use your own reasoning to see that dieting has only been around for less than 200 years and only became popular in the mid-1800s with one of the first well-known diet plans known as the Banting diet which was essentially one of the first low-carb diets. Since then the diet industry has exploded there are now hundreds if not thousands of different diet plans for you to choose from as well as billions of dollars in the dieting industry. however since the 1800s obesity has grown just as much as the diet industry has. What I’m saying is that before the concept of dieting even existed there were exponentially more people that were in shape maintaining a healthy weight their whole lives. In fact the rise in the diet industry almost matches the rise in obesity rates. This simple fact proves that dieting in it’s restrictive overstructured form is not necessary to maintain a healthy weight nor is it necessary to get to a healthy weight. Does this doesn’t mean that we can just ignore diet altogether? No, Because theres no denying that what you eat and how much you eat are probably the most important factors that contribute to how much you weigh and what your body composition is. Since your diet is one of the most important factors I’m not going to give you cheap little tricks that simply won’t work like using a body wrap drinking lemon water or eating your meals slower. Instead in today’s video I want to teach you how you can lose weight and have a proper diet.. without dieting. And you can be sure that these simple changes I’m about to share although they may not be as attractive as the idea of a magic pill, unlike magic pills they do actually work. The first way is one of the most powerful ways to maintain a healthy weight long-term and that’s by not focusing on dieting and instead focusing on nourishing. Diets usually call for you to take something away or to restrict. On the other hand eating to nourish your body involves taking steps to give and add to your diet. Restrictions lead to cravings for exactly what it is that you’re restricting. Having a proper diet without actually dieting involves eliminating all restrictions and instead of restricting you should be prioritizing. Ice cream should not be a high priority when trying to nourish the body, instead single ingredient natural sources of carbs proteins and fats should be your main priority. Foods that grow from the ground and come from the earth. Single ingredient foods are naturally filling, naturally high in volume while being low in calories, and they’re easier for your body to break down and use. This is why being overweight was very uncommon before processed food became available. This man made food which is now everywhere all around us is stripped of most of it’s nutrients and those nutrients are replaced with additives and flavor enhancers. Consistently eating this food degrades the natural balance between our appetite, our fullness, our hormones, and the amount of total calories we eat as well as how well our body can use the types of calories we eat. Do not restrict yourself from eating these tasty foods, but only allow yourself to eat these foods after you’ve satisfied your hunger with natural single ingredient foods. This means that every meal of yours should be loaded with healthy single ingredient foods that you can find in the outside aisles of your grocery store. These foods will eliminate your hunger, reset your taste buds, and significantly lower your desire for the processed foods that lead to weight gain.

Gabapentin Medication Information (dosing, side effects, patient counseling)

Diabetes No Comments »

Your medication Gabapentin

Gabapentin, also known by the brand names: Neurontin and Gralise.

Gabapentin comes in oral solution, oral suspension, tablet, and capsule dosage forms.

Gabapentin is most commonly used to treat seizures and painful nerve diseases. No matter what your doctor has you taking it for, gabapentin is usually taken by mouth with or without food most commonly 2 to 3 times a day. If upset stomach occurs take gabapentin with food. Do not take antacids within two hours of this medication. If you take the capsule, swallow the capsule whole and take with a full glass of water. If you are taking Gralise, take with the evening meal and swallow whole. To receive the greatest benefit, do not miss doses. If you miss a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you think about it. If it is close to time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your normal dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at the same time or extra doses. If you have never taken gabapentin before, take your first dose at bedtime to avoid the feelings of tiredness and dizziness.

Some common side effects with gabapentin include dizziness, drowsiness, tiredness, weakness, loose stools, nausea and vomiting.
Some less common side effects include headache, abnormal thinking, swelling of the arms or legs, and weight gain.

While taking gabapentin, remember it is important to tell your doctor or pharmacist if:
• You have signs of an allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling, tightness of the chest, etc.)
• You have signs of liver problems (dark urine, feeling tired, upset stomach, light-colored stools, or yellow skin or eyes
• You have signs of kidney problems (unable to pass urine, changes in how much urine is passed, blood in urine, or large weight gain)
• You have memory problems or memory loss
• You experience changes in eyesight, are feeling confused, or experience shakiness, shortness of breath, feeling very tired or weak, twitching, muscle pain or weakness
• To stop taking gabapentin because this medication should not be abruptly discontinued because of the possibility of increasing seizure frequency; therapy should be withdrawn gradually unless safety concerns require a more rapid withdrawal. Abrupt discontinuation with gabapentin has been associated with anxiety, diarrhea, headache, excessive sweating, sleeplessness, and nausea.

Gabapentin tablets and capsules need to be stored at room temperature in a dry place. Gabapentin liquid needs to be stored in the refrigerator. Use the measuring device received from the pharmacist or doctor for the oral solution.

In the US, 80% of girls have been on a diet by the time they’re 10 years old. In this honest, raw talk, neuroscientist Sandra Aamodt uses her personal story to frame an important lesson about how our brains manage our bodies, as she explores the science behind why dieting not only doesn’t work, but is likely to do more harm than good. She suggests ideas for how to live a less diet-obsessed life, intuitively.
