Top Officer Association Fights Taxing Military People First

November 22, 2011 – 1:00 am

Alexandria, Va. (PRWEB) November 21, 2011

Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) is challenging the Defense Department, White House and Senate Armed Services Committee leaders for endorsing significant health care fee hikes for TRICARE beneficiaries of all ages, as well as reviews of options to curtail the total military compensation and retirement package.

The organization asserts that while defense officials say health costs are eating them alive, these officials have done little to meet their own cost management responsibilities?ignoring billions in savings opportunities to be realized from more efficient management, ignoring repeated studies that urged combining redundant service and contractor systems, and failing to effectively promote the cost-saving home delivery (mail-order) pharmacy program.

?While evading their own oversight responsibilities,? MOAA President Vice Adm. Norb Ryan, Jr. stated, ?defense and Administration leaders have blamed beneficiaries and sought to shift significantly more costs to patients.

?This is a crucial week for the military community,? Ryan continued, ?as the so-called Super Committee is supposed to offer its recommendations by Wednesday on initiatives to reduce the deficit by $ 1.2 trillion over the next 10 years.?

Last Wednesday, at a meeting with Senate Democratic leaders, including Super Committee co-chair Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), Ryan thanked them for what they are doing for veterans and for their efforts to support military families. But he noted that MOAA membership has been shocked and disappointed at how those expressions of support are being contradicted by recent White House and congressional proposals to cut back and civilianize military healthcare and retirement programs — including significant enrollment fees for TRICARE for Life and pharmacy copays of $ 40 or more for all family members, retirees and survivors.

Ryan said further that the Pentagon has historically resisted almost every significant people-program initiative, while Congress has taken on the responsibility to ensure military people are fairly treated.

?Now more than ever,? Ryan said, ?it?s essential to recognize that the military community already has sacrificed more for America than any other segment of the population.?

MOAA is urging its 370,000 members, countless more family members and supporters in the general public to take grassroots action to get actively involved and ensure government leaders don?t ?tax military people first.?

?As the Super Committee nears its reporting deadline (or risks automatic budget cuts if it can?t agree) and as Congress takes up the FY2012 Defense Authorization Bill, it?s essential for all concerned members and supporters of the military community to let legislators know your thoughts,? Ryan concluded.

About MOAA:

Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) is the nation?s largest officers association with 370,000 members from every branch of service, including active duty, retired, National Guard, Reserve, and former officers and their families and survivors. MOAA is a nonprofit and politically nonpartisan organization and an influential force in promoting a strong national defense. MOAA represents the interests of service members and their families in every stage of their lives and careers, and for those who are not eligible to join MOAA, Voices for America?s Troops is a nonprofit MOAA affiliate that supports a strong national defense.

Fat Burning Exercises at Home

June 27, 2010 – 6:02 pm

I normally come across these kinds of questions at times. As someone that has six pack abs, most of my friends normally ask me, “Can you tell me the best fat burning exercise one can do for fat loss?” The fact is this; there is no just one type of effective fat loss exercise. If you are able to select from varieties of exercises, then you can be able to get rid of mind tediousness and physical triteness, and you will be able to keep your body exercising on and on. Such exercises maintain steady progression, keep you safe from excess of it, and make you willing to perform your daily routine.

After understanding the facts, I will tell you the most desired and effective exercises for losing body fat. I am going to discuss it with you, and also one of the weight loss workouts which stand out when it comes to fast fat burning exercise. The exercise I am talking about is very efficient and the best part is that it doesn’t require any equipment and you can do it anyplace you wish even at home. It doesn’t even consume a lot of time either is it boring to do. If you are able to do it the right way, then you are assured of losing a large calorie of fat performing it for a few minutes.

The best fat burning exercise I am talking about is called Advanced Burpeee. It can be done by both men and women. Applying the right strategy when it comes to this kind of exercise is very essential in getting the best out of it. Because of this I am going to explain it to you in full details, so you can effectively do it the right way in return for a transparent result. I am going to split its process into 4 easy ways.

1. Standstill in a shoulder width posture. Crouch down, or rather squat down, and place your two hands on the floor opposite your feet.
2. Push that your feet backwards and also lower your chest to the floor. Doing this will make you end up in a bottom point of the usual push up.
3. Move your chest off the floor and also at the same time; force your legs to the squat position while your two hands are still on the ground.
4. End the motility by forcefully springing up to the air. When you are about to get back to the ground, sharply fall back down to the squat pose and resume for the number of reps you are expected to do.

You must be thinking, “What is the number of reps you should do for this workout?” and What is the best time to perform this advanced burpee? The fact is that there are varieties of styles you can use to incorporate this workout into your exercise routine. Talking about most of the choices available is not within the scope of this write-up. Rather, I am going to offer you with one choice which is easy and most of all, very efficient.

Fix your stop watch for just a period of five minutes. If you don’t have a stop watch, you can as well use your phone. Most phones have stop watch in it. Do as much intensified advanced burpee at the space of 5 minutes. When you are done with the five minutes, note the amount of reps you were able to do. Whenever you are to redo it, try to do more than the amount of reps you did when you finished your first workout.

Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is one of the best-selling diet and exercise ebook on the Internet , is completely unique and different from other programs on the fitness market because it’s not a weight loss program – it’s a fat loss program. Once you’ve read just the first three chapters, there will be no doubt in your mind that pursuing weight loss is not only the wrong goal, it may be the reason why you’ve failed to reach and maintain your ideal body weight.

Specialist Makes Plea for Men’s Health Awareness

June 24, 2010 – 9:05 pm

Professor Robert McLachlan, Consultant Andrologist at Monash IVF and Director of Andrology Australia, addressed hundreds of medical professionals attending the annual Fertility Society of Australia Conference in Brisbane encouraging a greater recognition of men’s health matters in the setting of infertility.

“Male reproductive dysfunction is the sole or contributory cause of infertility in half of the couples presenting for treatment at IVF centres”, said Professor McLachlan. He went on to say “while we have made terrific technological advancements such as ICSI that allow a normal pregnancy from many men with severe infertility, we always have a responsibility to fully evaluate men for conditions that can be treated to restore their ability to father children naturally. We must also look for conditions that are known to be more common in this group of men, and also address matters of lifestyle that could impact on fertility and their health more generally.”

These important points were also made recently by Professor McLachlan when addressing General Practitioners at a series of education lectures held by Monash IVF at several sites nationally. The aim of these educational events was to raise awareness of how to make early detection of the signs and symptoms of male and female infertility. Early intervention by lifestyle changes and/or medical treatment could then be more effective at either restoring natural fertility or improving the outcomes of medical treatments for infertility, such as IVF.

When men consult a GP or Fertility Specialist with their female partner in an effort to achieve a pregnancy it is an opportune time for lifestyle issues to be addressed whilst they are relatively young and healthy. The co-morbidities associated with poor lifestyle and infertility include testicular cancer, cardio vascular disease and androgen deficiency but, for many, the symptoms of these will not be realised until a further 20+ years down the track. For many men, their attendance with a fertility problem may be the first time they have seen a doctor for quite a while and taking the opportunity to address their holistic health care should not be missed.

Another important observation is that 70% of men with Klinefelter’s Syndrome (chromosomes XXY) escape diagnosis for their entire lifetime! This is alarming considering that a simple testicular examination would alert a Medical Practitioner to this given that testicular volume in Klinefelter’s men is around 4ml compared to the normal 30ml. Many do not have the “textbook” appearance (tall, feminised) but their health and well-being would greatly benefit from testosterone supplementation once diagnosed.

Andrology Australia has developed an excellent booklet “Your Sperm and How to Look After Them” which provides men with information on factors affecting their fertility and lifelong fertile health. It is aimed at single and partnered men of all ages. Hard copies can be obtained directly from Andrology Australia free of charge to Australian residents.

5 Things You Should Know About Using Laxatives to Lose Weight

June 24, 2010 – 6:47 pm

For a number of years now, some people have resorted to “unusual” ways in which to lose weight. Unfortunately, laxatives for many people seem to be the answer to their problem. Well, this article is going to point out the reasons why you should NOT use laxatives when trying to lose weight.

The first thing to understand about using laxatives, is that although they may help digest your food a little faster than normal, using them on a regular basis will actually cause you a lot of pain. Avoid using laxatives unless you want to suffer a lot of pain when trying to lose weight.

Secondly, if you suffer from constipation there are other methods to open your bowels and relieve the tension as such. Drinking lots and lots of water is the most natural way of relieving constipation. Drink it before meals and after meals and at least eight glasses a day. Add more fibre rich foods to your diet as they help to speed up bowel movement.

Thirdly, if you are on any sort of medication currently, laxatives can actually make your medication less effective. In many cases they can actually remove any effect your medication is supposed to have for you. This is a great reason to avoid them.

Fourthly, the only thing you will lose by taking laxatives is water and body fluids. You will not lose fat with them. To become thinner and lose weight you need to burn fat and not lose body fluids. Taking laxatives will actually end up with your body becoming dehydrated. They collect water from your body and then pass them through your bowel movements. When this happens you will lose all your water and become dehydrated.

If you use laxatives and this happens, you could possibly be misled or fooled into thinking you have lost weight, but in reality you have not lost any fat, which is what real weight loss is all about.

Lastly, when your body becomes dehydrated through using laxatives it will begin to store water so that it can survive. Better known as water retention, this will make you feel bloated and will actually increase your weight.

The truth is if you use laxatives to try to lose weight, you will actually end up weighing more. Avoid taking laxatives at all costs because not only will you end up heavier, but it could have a detrimental effect on your overall health.

So there you have it. If you are considering using laxatives, then I hope the information in this article will help you to realise it is a bad option to consider?

Fat Burning Foods ? Four Essential Choices

June 24, 2010 – 6:02 pm

Did you know that eating to burn fat is considered to be an extremely powerful rapid weight loss technique? The secret is choosing the right foods and to avoid overindulging if you wish to achieve your quick weight loss goals. The old saying ‘you can have too much of a good thing’, is actually still very true. If you choose the right foods but still eat them in great quantities you will end up gaining weight instead of losing it.

The first fat burning food you should note is the controversial nut. Nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pecan and peanuts have previously come under plenty of negative scrutiny from weight loss gurus who claim them to have far too high fat content. Although nuts do have a high calorie count they do contain healthy natural fats known as monounsaturated fats. These healthy fats are excellent for supporting active brain function as well as providing fantastic energy without any negative side effects on your heart. Just be mindful of your portion sizes though. These handy little super foods are extremely nutrient dense, so just a handful once a day is adequate.

Another effective fat burning food which is considered to be one of the best is oatmeal. Simple oats have a hard time on the grocery store shelves competing with the hundreds of breakfast cereal choices available today. However, most of these expensive and fancy cereals contain nothing but high glycemic carbs which only leave you hungry again only an hour after eating them. Oats, on the other hand, are a fantastic source of water soluble fiber. Your body slowly digests the fiber throughout the morning which keeps you feeling satisfied for longer, in addition to giving you a long release of energy rather than a short spike. If oatmeal is a touch too bland for your taste buds, try adding your favorite fresh fruit, honey, yogurt or perhaps a handful of nuts. These natural and healthy additions will add a burst of flavor along with extra nutritional value.

The third fat burning food to add to your list is the humble apple. Isn’t it ironic that many of us diligently persuade our children to eat an apple every day, but ignore taking our own good advice? Apples, like oatmeal, also prolong the digestive process and prevent you from experiencing hunger pangs for long periods of time. They are crave-killing foods which are an excellent defense weapon against overeating and weight gain. What is more apples are a cheap and portable healthy food which is available all year round.

The final fat burning food you should note is actually a fat burning drink. If you have been seeking information on how to lose weight quickly then you are probably aware of the weight loss benefits of green tea. Green tea is full of powerful antioxidants and is an effective metabolism booster. By increasing your metabolic rate your body will start burning fast faster and more effectively. Just drink a cup of green tea every morning to stimulate your metabolism and help burn calories all day long, even when you’re resting.

By introducing these four super fat burning foods to your diet you will speed up your progress to successfully achieving your weight loss goals.

Men’s Health: Running the Bases

June 18, 2010 – 9:06 pm

Let’s face it, men and women are different. It’s a fact. And when it comes to taking care of their bodies, men and women are very different.

Men drink more (alcohol), smoke more and see their doctors less than women do. They are less likely to wear a seat belt (22% of teen men say they rarely or never wear a seatbelt v. 15% of teen women). And they consume red meat at an alarming rate.

All that said, those facts refer to the “average” American male. There are plenty of men, who eat their vegetables, drink the requisite eight glasses of water a day, and kiss there wives and children before they go to bed precisely at 9:30p.m. every night. If you belong to this group, you are perfect, and you need not read a word more.

If you think you might belong to the first (average) group, though, read on. You might just get a peek at what the future holds for you.

The Wake Up Call – 7:00p Thursday

Whether you are a man or a woman, an average Joe or not, at some point, you need to decide to take your health seriously or you may just get an unwelcome wake up call.

Nothing pains me more than to visit my local city park on a week night in early spring. It is there where I will find many of aging brothers hitting the ball around for the first time after a long winter of sitting. It is usually Tuesday or Thursday when the over 40 recreation softball league has its games. It’s a bunch of guys from all walks of life. Some are business men taking a few hours away from the kids and the office to toss the ball around. There might be a high school baseball coach getting his playing time in. You might see the produce manager from your local grocery store and a fireman or a police officer or two.

Before the game starts, you see some stretching, some talking, and one or two having a beer. Then the game begins, and they get to work. The guys are chatting it up, laughing about nothing in particular and razzing the batter. Good clean guy fun. But inevitably at some point, one of those guys pulls something, tears something or pops something out of alignment. The game stops while they help him off the field. And once he’s on the bench (or on his way to the hospital), the game starts up again.

I always wonder what happened to that one guy. Was the injury serious? Or did he spring back in a couple of days? Did he wake up to the fact that he is 47 years old and start working out regularly and stretching before games? Or did he decide he was “suddenly” too old to play kids games anymore and quit?

Over 40 And Going it Alone

Now, if I were more of an opportunist, I would make a point of going to those first few games of spring. And I’d bring my business card and a sign up sheet for treatment. But I can’t bring myself to do it. And anyway, I would really rather get new patients BEFORE injury strikes.

Now, ask yourself, am I the guy on the bench or one of the guys still playing? Don’t know?  

Well, if it’s been awhile since regular exercise and stretching were a part of your routine, you might just be the guy on the bench. You see, within the human body, there is something called “Fascia”, a pliable, protective sheath that covers every cell. To your muscles and  joints, Fascia is like the elastic in your underwear. If it is kept intact and healthy, it holds them up and holds them together, giving them strength and stability. As it ages, though, and if not cared for properly, fascia loses its elasticity, and you lose range of motion and strength. Before you know it, you can’t bend down far enough to catch a ground ball, and throwing to first base feels like a hot poker in your shoulder.

If that is you, don’t walk to my office, run (or move as fast as your tight muscles will allow). I will work with throughout a 10-session series to soften and strengthen your fascia, and ultimately to bring back movement and muscle you forgot you had. By next softball season, you will be in game shape.

How Prescription Diet Pills Can Solve Obesity

June 18, 2010 – 8:42 pm

Aside from diet and exercise, some prescription diet pills are recommended by doctors in order to treat obesity. However, your doctor will conduct several tests before he will prescribe a diet pill for you.

One of the factors that your doctor will have to consider is your BMI or your Body Mass Index. Basically, if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and sleep apnea, your doctor will recommend diet pills for you if your body mass index is greater than 27. Also, even if you don’t have any underlying condition, your doctor may recommend diet pills if your body mass index is greater than 30.

What is the Body Mass Index?

Body mass index (BMI) refers to the ratio of body fat in our body based on our height and the corresponding weight for it. It is one of the most accurate ways to determine if your extra weight will result to increased health risks. BMI measurements should be taken into consideration in assessing the health of men and women, especially adults. The higher your BMI, the greater risks you have in getting more and more health problems.

To compute for your body mass index, you will just have to determine your weight in kilograms and divide it by the square of your height. If you BMI is less than 18.5, then you are categorized as underweight. If your BMI is anywhere between 18.5 and 25, then you have a normal weight. In excess of 25 but lesser than 30, you are considered to be overweight. However, if your BMI exceeds thirty, then you are already obese and prescription diet pills can be recommended by your doctor.

Prescription weight loss drugs

There are two prescription drugs that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for weight loss management.

Sibutramine (Meridia)

The sibutramine prescription diet pills work by altering your mind chemistry. These pills help you lose weight by making you think and feel that you are already full. These can also prevent feelings of hunger and thirst.

These pills will eventually help you lose fat more quickly that diet and exercise. In fact, studies show that people who use sibutramine lose ten pounds more than people who just follow a low calorie diet. However, taking this pill can result to some side effects. This list of side effects includes headache, high blood pressure, constipation, and insomnia.

Orlistat (Xenical)

Orlistat pills are prescription diet pills that reduce the body’s ability to absorb fat. When the fat and cholesterol are not absorbed, they are eliminated in the stool. That is why, you can have oily spotting when taking orlistat.

The average weight loss for orlistat regimen is at least six pounds for a year. However, you can definitely lose more weight if you engage in diet plans and exercises. Aside from oily spotting and lose bowel movement, the use of orlistat diet pills may result to a decreased absorption of nutrients from the food that you consume. As a countermeasure, your doctor may ask you to take a multivitamin before bed time.

A similar diet pill that works the same way as the orlistat prescription diet pills is the Alli diet pill. These pills are the first FDA approved over the counter weight loss pills that can be used by people with obesity problems.

Are Diet Pills a Quick Fix?

June 12, 2010 – 8:41 pm

While it is true that certain diet pills can be an effective supplement as part of a weight loss program, they are not something that should be used as a one step method in losing weight. Apart from this there are many diet pills which are completely ineffective and the only thing that you will lose will be the money that you will spend on buying them.

Many people are under the impression that they don’t need to exercise or change their diet. They think that they can continue with their current lifestyles and just by taking a diet pill, they will miraculously reach their weight loss goals. This simply is not going to happen. The perception of the effectiveness of diet pills stems from two issues; the first and most important one is that nobody really wants to implement the lifestyle changes which are required to becoming healthier and lose weight. If they can pop a few pills a day, then that is going to be a lot easier than making large and lasting changes to their diets and starting a good exercise program.

The second issue is the way diet pills are marketed by the companies that produce them. The benefits of diet pills are clearly oversold. Why does this happen? It’s simple, if the manufactures can provide you with what you want to hear then you will be persuaded to buy the diet pills. They make money and you lose money. Most people will believe almost anything if there is a slight hope that it may work and help them to lose weight, regardless if there is any common sense to it or not.

The thing to keep in mind is that hype and common sense do not go together. There are hundreds of diet pills on the market, with each manufacturer claiming that theirs is better than anybody else’s. If diet pills are such a reliable source in achieving weight loss, then why do we have an alarmingly growing problem of obesity and other weight related problems?

Why can’t everyone just take diet pills and get rid of all the weight that they want? Could it be that they don’t work as well as manufactures would like you to think? Could it be that manufactures have other motives apart form your health and well being? Diet pills are not a solution for weight loss, some diet pills can be taking as part of a weight loss program, some diet pills have absolutely no benefits whatsoever, and there are some diet pills that can have severe and dangerous side effects.

The plain and simple fact that to lose weight you will have to control calories, change to a healthier diet, eat smaller meals more frequently, take up a cardio exercise programme, involve a weight lifting routine into your exercise program and try to increase activity in other areas of your life.

As you can see there are many factors involved in losing weight. It goes far beyond taking some diet pills for a few weeks and thinking that you are going to wake up one morning looking like a playboy model. As an intelligent human being you need to think to yourself, that if you have lived a lifestyle for a number of years that has increased your weight, and has led to other health problems, will taking a few diet pills on a daily basis sort out all your health issues. Losing weight safely and successfully will require time and effort. People who are always on the lookout for a quick fix are the ones that fail to lose weight. Now you tell me if diet pills are a quick fix?
