			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://weightlossdot.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/detoxification.jpg" alt="" title="detoxification" width="150" height="131" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-151" align="left" /></a>Detoxification will help to aid in weight loss and promote overall wellness by helping to rid your colon of residual waste and detoxify your system in the process. Most products are all-natural and usually include ginger root, fennel seed, goldenseal, licorice root, rhubarb, and psyllium. People who detox regularly as part of a healthy diet and exercise routine often report that doing so results in fewer instances of constipation, fewer occurrences of fatigue, higher energy levels, and aid in weight loss. They also find that they are less likely to feel bloated or retain an overabundance of water.<br />
<span id="more-150"></span><br />
Although experts are divided on how effective or necessary regular colon cleansing is, there are many who vigorously advocate it and believe that it has many potential health benefits. These experts tell us that without regular cleansing, waste products and toxins can build up within the colon itself and raise the likelihood of developing a number of known colon-related ailments including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), rectal polyps, and even colon or rectal cancer. </p>
<p>This is especially so considering the fact that the average diet of many modern people consists of a high amount of fatty, processed, or unhealthy foods that are more likely to gum up the works than natural foods that are high in fiber and nutritional value. Regular care and cleansing of the colon can help keep your body clear of any possible toxic build-up and lower one’s chances of developing harmful chronic conditions, as well as help prevent constipation, bloating, and the fatigue that can result from them.</p>
<p>The all natural supplements don&#8217;t work by changing your bowel patterns or forcing you to have a bowel movement the way a potentially harmful chemical laxative does. They do, however, make it easier to have one and it helps naturally encourage your body to rid itself of any residual waste products that might be hanging around in your colon and intestines. The usual recommended daily dosage is one pill in the morning, and another in the afternoon. It is also recommended that while using a detoxification aid that you should be sure to consume the medically recommended eight glasses of water a day, as well as refrain from eating too many processed foods. Instead, a diet high in fiber and natural, organic foods should be substituted.</p>
<p>How fast detoxification works depends on the individual. Everyone’s body and metabolism are different, so results vary from person to person with some noticing results after as little as a week or two of use, and others noticing similar results in a month. There are no known side effects associated with natural detox products, but as is the case when beginning any new diet or exercise regimen, or adding any type of new supplement to your diet, it’s important to check with your doctor or health care practitioner to make sure that the product will not interact with any current medications you may be taking and to be certain that it is right for your personal needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://weightlossdot.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/phentremine-civ-xr11.jpg"><img src="http://weightlossdot.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/phentremine-civ-xr11.jpg" alt="" title="phentremine-civ-xr11" width="98" height="98" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-167" /></a><align="left">Original prescription phentermine, short for phenyl-tertiary-butylamine, is best known for being a powerful and effective appetite suppressant. Many health and diet enthusiasts may remember it as one of the two active ingredients in the now illegal drug fen-phen, with fenfluramine being the other. Although fen-phen and fenfluramine are now both illegal and considered to be extremely dangerous to use due to the serious heart valve damage they’ve been known to cause, phentermine was not pulled from the market in most countries and is still considered safe enough to use on a very limited basis.<span id="more-161"></span></p>
<p>Although it does still come with quite a few unpleasant side effects of its own, phentermine is currently available by prescription and considered to be very effective. Therefore it is still very much in demand when it comes to losing significant amounts of weight. However, as it is a controlled substance that must be handled with great care, and many doctors hesitate to prescribe weight loss medications at all, prescriptions aren’t written for just anyone who’d like to lose a few pounds. </p>
<p>As a result, there are many alternatives that have since exploded onto the weight loss market that claim to work just as well as prescription phentermine does, and phentremine civ-XR is one of these alternatives. However, the question remains – how effective is phentremine civ-XR and is it something you should try if you’re looking to lose weight?</p>
<p>According to websites that pedal the product, phentremine civ-XR it’s the strongest phetermine alternative available without a prescription. According to the manufacturer’s, it’s an all-natural supplement that contains all the hottest weight loss supplements available on the market today, but let’s take a closer look at what ingredients are involved. </p>
<p>One of the main ingredients is hoodia, which is a popular appetite suppressant on the market today. However, although some people swear by it, there are no conclusive clinical studies that prove hoodia’s effectiveness.</p>
<p>Another of the main ingredients is citrus aurantium, which is a common replacement for ephedra in weight loss supplements today due to its chemical similarity. However, like hoodia, there isn’t a lot of clinical evidence available that supports any of its claims to be as effective as the now-illegal ephedra once was. </p>
<p>A third active ingredient is evodiamine, a fruit extract that has been clinically proven to aid weight loss in rats. However, there are not yet any existing studies that prove its effectiveness on humans. </p>
<p>Other ingredients include caffeine, which is a common ingredient in many weight loss supplements; senna, which is a common ingredient in laxatives and diuretics; vitamin B-12; and yohimbe, which has been shown to be somewhat effective as a metabolic aid.</p>
<p>While there are several key ingredients in phentremine civ-xr that could very likely be of help when it comes to weight loss, it is important to note that there is no clinical evidence to actually support its claim to be a comparable alternative to prescription phentermine. However, it is likely to be comparable to many weight loss supplements and dietary aid already available over the counter. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://weightlossdot.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/white-tea2.jpg" alt="" title="white-tea2" width="126" height="107" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-143" align="left" /></a>For thousands of years, the Chinese have had a full understanding of the health perks associated with regular tea consumption. However, only in recent years has the Western world also become acquainted with the full spectrum of benefits tea has to offer and learned to value it not only for its flavor, but also for its effect on the body’s general state of wellness and well being.<br />
<span id="more-141"></span><br />
As with many other popular tea varieties &#8212; such as green, black, and oolong – white tea originates from the camellia sinensus plant. However, unlike other teas, white tea generally consists of very young buds and leaves, which is the reason for its overall lower level of caffeine in comparison to other teas. It is also not fermented (like black teas and oolongs) or roasted (like green teas), but is quick-dried instead. As the tea variety that involves the least amount of processing, white tea is also the variety that contains the highest level of antioxidants. For this reason, white tea is considered by experts to be the optimal choice for those looking to improve their health by adding it to their daily routine.</p>
<p>In fact, the main health benefit of white tea lies in this exceptionally high level of antioxidants. As many health-conscious people are aware, antioxidants are the compounds that are responsible for fighting and breaking down free radicals present in the body. Free radicals are responsible for a great number of health problems in the body, including premature aging and even cancer, so regular consumption of white tea can not only help you look and feel younger for longer, but it can significantly lower your likelihood of developing many kinds of common cancers as well, including leukemia, esophageal cancer, skin cancer, and even breast cancer. Antioxidants have also been known to lower blood pressure, promote healthy circulation, and lower cholesterol levels as well.</p>
<p>White tea can also improve your health in a number of other very important ways. Studies have shown that people who consume white tea as a regular part of their health regimen have much stronger bones with greater density, a reduced risk of developing osteoporosis later in life, and lower level of discomfort due to chronic joint-related disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. White tea has also been shown to regulate blood sugar and help control diabetes, as well as reduce the risk of blood clot related problems such as stroke or heart attack. </p>
<p>Another very notable benefit of white tea lies in its powerful antibacterial and antiviral properties. It has been proven to fight tooth decay and gum disease by killing harmful bacteria that live and multiply in the mouth and throat, but don’t make the mistake of thinking its antiseptic properties stop there. Because white tea is so remarkably high in such powerful antioxidants, it helps treat and prevent a wide variety of diseases ranging from the common cold to influenza. White tea has even been shown to alleviate some of the symptoms caused by the AIDS virus and give the immune system a much-needed boost when it comes to just about anything else the world can throw at it as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-44" title="green-tea1" src="http://weightlossdot.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/green-tea1.jpg" alt="" width="141" height="97" align="left" />Green tea has long been valued for its wide array of health and wellness benefits. In fact, since its origin in ancient China thousands of years ago, the people of areas such as Japan, India, and China itself have revered it as a virtual cure-all, using it to successfully treat everything from headaches, to depression, to digestive upsets, to excessive bleeding. Green tea is still considered a staple not to be lived without in many parts of the world, and it is also quickly growing in popularity and demand as a health and wellness supplement as well.<br />
<span id="more-32"></span><br />
The secret to the seemingly miraculous power of green tea lies in its high level of antioxidants, especially the antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate, more commonly known as EGCG. EGCG is commonly known to possess a wide variety of curative and preventative health benefits. It’s a common ingredient in many weight control supplements due to its ability to aid in the prevention of obesity by increasing the oxidation of fat while boosting the body’s metabolism. It’s also been known to help prevent blood clot related health problems such as heart attack and stroke due to its ability to prevent abnormal clotting of the blood. ECGC has even been known to kill and retard the formation of cancer cells without the unwanted side effect of harming healthy cells in the process.</p>
<p>The benefits of regularly drinking green tea have often been compared to those associated with the drinking of red wine. Red wine contains a polyphenol called resveratrol which has been clinically proven to help lower the health risks associated with such unhealthy practices as a high fat, high cholesterol diet, or excessive smoking. Recent studies have not only shown that EGCG works very similarly to resveratrol as far as its beneficial effects on the body, but that it is actually up to twice as effective, making it a viable alternative to wine for many, especially those who would rather not consume alcohol.</p>
<p>As a powerful antioxidant, the EGCG present in green tea also packs a powerful punch when it comes to the prevention and treatment of many other ailments as well. It helps prevent premature aging and improve the overall health and appearance of the skin. It helps lower cholesterol, promote healthy circulation, and improve the health and functionality of the immune system. It’s also thought to lower one’s chances of developing many debilitating, degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease. Green tea has even been proven to help prevent halitosis, tooth decay, and plaque by killing harmful bacteria that can quickly grow out of control in the mouth, causing these problems in the process.</p>
<p>As far as any negative side effects associated with the consumption of green tea, there really aren’t many aside from those associated with the consumption of any beverage containing caffeine. These include trouble sleeping, excessive urination, and stomach upset. However, in comparison to coffee or other kinds of tea, such as the commonly consumed and ubiquitous black tea, green tea contains a relatively low level of caffeine. Decaffeinated varieties are even available on the market for the use of those that prefer to experience the miracle of green tea without consuming any caffeine at all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://weightlossdot.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/acai.jpg" alt="" title="acai" width="160" height="164" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-48" align="left" /><a href="http://www.weightlossdot.com/offers/acai.php" target="_blank">Click Here</a> to sign up for a free acai berry trial (just pay for s&#038;h).
<p>Valued for its association with a wide variety of health benefits, the acai berry is quickly becoming one of the most popular and sought after health supplements on the market today and is even revered by some health experts as a wonder food. As a result, it can currently be found as a key ingredient in a wide variety of health foods and nutritional products including juices, energy bars, powdered supplements, and even ice cream. It’s even become a common ingredient as an additive to fresh juices and smoothies at many juice bars and gyms.<br />
<span id="more-18"></span><br />
The acai berry is a product of the acai palm tree of the Amazon Rainforest. The fruit itself grows in bunches much as grapes or bananas do, and the berry itself is round, dark, and of a purplish-blue hue, its look reminiscent of that of the familiar grape or blueberry. The mass of a single berry is made up of a large central seed surrounded by a pulp that possesses a distinctly unique tropical flavor. Much like coffee berries, acai berries are not picked and eaten raw directly from the acai plant itself. They are harvested and then processed, the acai itself extracted from the outer pulp portion of the berry.</p>
<p>Northern Brazilian natives living in the Amazon basin region have used and valued this berry for hundreds of years due to its healing properties and high nutritional value. They swear by its abilities to treat, or even cure, a wide variety of common ailments including but not limited to insomnia, digestive issues, and even sexual dysfunction. Now in recent years, encouraged by the overall reports of the astounding good health within these Amazon societies, people in other parts of the world are jumping on the bandwagon and finding out all about the benefits of adding acai to their diets for themselves. </p>
<p>So what makes acai such an incredible super food anyway? It’s incredibly high in a number of nutrients known to promote good health, long life, and a strong immune system. Acai berries are high in essential and omega fatty acids, the “good fats” you often hear about for their ability to lower your cholesterol level. They are also known for their high level of antioxidants, which have been clinically proven to fight premature aging, cardiovascular disease, and even some forms of cancer. Acai berries are also rich in other essential nutrients including amino acids, electrolytes, and vitamins A, B1, and E. They’re even rich in fiber, something sorely lacking in many diets.   </p>
<p>The addition of acai to the diet has been reported to enhance the health of users in a variety of ways and is not known to have any negative side effects. Not only does it lower cholesterol and prevent disease, but it also possesses the ability to relieve a number of common ailments, including arthritis and depression. It also improves strength and stamina, and helps promote weight loss and the burning of excess body fat. The high level of antioxidants helps improve the condition of skin as well, even when it comes to issues such as unsightly and uncomfortable warts. A recent University of Florida study even found that acai has the ability to kill leukemia cells, so it has potential as a cancer preventative, too. </p>
<p>Although acai is something relatively new to many areas, it’s quickly become very popular and is thought to have a potential that is nearly infinite when it comes to promoting better health, treating disease, and helping to foster a stronger sense of overall well-being in people everywhere.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href=""><img src="http://weightlossdot.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/hoodia11.jpg" title="hoodia" width="92" height="124" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3"  align="left" /></a></p>
<p>Hoodia, or known by it’s full name Hoodia gordonii has become one of the most popular supplements in the weight loss industry recently.It’s  used as a primary ingredient in a number of weight loss pills, shakes, bars, capsules, tablets and syrups sold today. Hoodia gordonii grows as a leafless spiny cactus-like plant which is native to South Africa and Namibia.  When growing it  smells like rotten meat, but has been used by locals for hundreds of years to suppress appetite.<br />
<span id="more-4"></span></p>
<p>In 2003, Hoodia was featured in a report first on the BBC news, then on 60 minutes.  The market for Hoodia then exploded and it went from having 3 products on the market to over 300!  It has became even more popular following the ban of the widely-used but dangerous drug ephedra.<br />
There are been no peer reviewed scientific studies that prove the effectiveness of the appetite suppressant qualities of hoodia i humans.  Some studies have shown that it reduced hunger in rats, another study performed on humans showed that it reduced the calorie intake by 100 over the people taking the placebo – this study was not peer reviewed however.  Hoodia hasn’t officially been endorsed by any medical journals or publications.</p>
<p>Since there hasn’t been any scientific studies that have been performed on humans, the safety of hoodia could be in question.  When the drug giant Pfizer attempted to extract the active ingredient in Hoodia, the lead researcher encountered problems isolating the active ingredient.  <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9505E3D71231F935A15757C0A9639C8B63">He stated</a> “An early clinical trial indeed showed that hoodia could be a potent appetite suppressant. But there were indications of unwanted effects on the liver caused by other components, which could not be easily removed from the supplement.  Clearly, hoodia has a long way to go before it can earn approval from the Food and Drug Administration. Until safer formulations are developed, dieters should be wary of using it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Keep in mind however, that Hoodia is a natural product derived from a plant, so is not tainted with chemicals or pharmaceuticals and there has been no horror stories regarding ‘hoodia abuse’.<br />
The way hoodia works is that it leads the brain into thinking that there is enough blood sugar in the body.  This could be harmful for diabetics because a diabetic may not be able to respond to the hunger signals their body is producing because the hoodia is suppressing them.</p>
<p>Hoodia’s only benefit is to suppress appetite.  It isn’t a magic pill that will address overeating problems nor is it a pill that will build muscle or burn fat by itself.  Your body burns energy all day – even when resting.  The only way to increase muscle and therefore increase your fat burning efficiency is to exercise.</p>
<p>So don’t make the mistake of thinking that you can pop a few Hoodia pills every day and the fat will melt away.  While that is being claimed on some websites selling Hoodia, most people trying to reduce weight need to use supplements as part of a holistic approach.  That is, you need to combine supplements with a good diet which has plenty of fibre and plenty of exercise.</p>
