If you are looking for panic attack help then the best thing I can tell you is you can cure this thing and make the attacks a thing of the past. Get excited as you read every word of this article because the ideas are simple but the effects really help.

Panic attacks of one form or another affect millions of people. Many try drugs and therapy and have found that more often than not that these are experimental. Yes there is help there but it is a long trial and error process where various drugs are tried and discarded hoping to find “the one” that will help.

Most of us don’t have time for that kind of approach and instead need to come to a quick understanding of the cause of the attacks and then on to how to overcome Them. This is not to say that the approach we are discussing is instant but it can quickly help you begin to control the attacks as you begin to bring the intensity down.

Panic attacks are caused by anxiety and a fear of something. This causes both emotional and physical symptoms. The symptoms of an attack can include shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, restlessness, and sweating. You must understand and accept what is going on in order to beat panic attacks. Once you know that you are having an attack you will begin to gain control over yourself and make it go away faster.

Often you must take a counter-intuitive approach to things and panic attacks are no different. Learn that it is an attack and just accept it: OK, it’s an attack and then distract yourself a little. Reassure yourself that you are in control. Communicate with your body the things you are feeling and say, “OK this is only a panic attack and I feel” – then describe a feeling. Talk to yourself and tell yourself to “let go” and your body will begin to respond. You need to just do this and not be concerned with what actually happens with the feeling. It may take a couple of times to get things to kick in.

Sometimes preparing a list of things to think of and focus on while you are having attacks is helpful. After all when one of those things hits it is difficult to engage in creative thinking – but you can remember things. So a list of things to bring to mind can be a huge help. Make it detailed so you can just pull the items out when your mind is engaged in trying to fight off the panic. If you look to yourself for help and demand more of yourself than just being a victim of the attacks then you are on your way to the best panic attack help.

I invite you to find the panic attack help that you are looking for. Discover the drug-free way to stop anxiety panic attacks (it is not always the logical process that we expect). Get instant access to our panic attack help website: http://www.stopapanicattackfast.com.

Breathing Techniques to Manage Your Panic Attacks | Health Journal

Panic attacks are scary, but in truth, physically harmless. To help you calm your terror, breathing techniques can be very helpful. Here are a few different ways of breathing that might help to calm your panic attacks.

Anxiety and Panic Attack Self-Help Programs – Do They Work?

The net is flooded with anxiety and panic attack self-help eBooks with exceptionally bold claims. They claim to treat anxiety and panic attacks with no medications, in a few weeks and with truly extraordinary success rates.

Mental Health – Panic Attacks And Anxiety Symptoms

The first step is to first admit your condition to yourself. Once you’ve done that take the next step and admit that you need help. Overcoming panic attacks.

Panic Attack Medications – New Hope For Many Who Suffer

The most commonly prescribed panic attack medication is one of the various forms of antidepressants. These medications help to keep your anxiety and stress levels down to a manageable level. They also help with any depression conditions.

The writer and social critic, H.L. Mencken once wrote, “For every complicated problem there is a solution that is simple, direct, understandable and wrong.” 

Our ancestors believed that the stars rotated around the Earth. From our perspective, it made perfect sense. Of course, the idea was completely wrong. In fact, throughout history, people have believed ridiculous things. And we believed them so strongly you would have been persecuted for suggesting otherwise. 

So little has changed… 

Today’s gospel truth is that excess saturated fat in the diet clogs the arteries and causes heart disease. The only problem with this medical “fact” is that it isn’t a fact at all. It is a fraudulent and faulty hypothesis from the 1950s that has never been proven. 

I didn’t plan to write about this topic today. But I had to speak up when I saw the same article in four major publications this week. The headline: “Leading Surgeon Wants to Ban Butter.” 

Dr. Shyam Kolvekar, a heart surgeon at University College London Hospital, says that by the time he sees many of his patients, it is too late. Their hearts and cardiovascular system are too damaged for repair. He wants to stop heart disease before it starts by getting people to limit saturated fat in the diet. And to get the ball rolling, he suggests “banning butter.” 

Kolvekar is particularly worried that heart disease is growing rapidly in the younger population. “It’s because most kids start the day with some toast and butter,” he says. “Porridge is a much better alternative.” 

Why the butter and not the toast? Two slices of bread contain the equivalent carbohydrates of five teaspoons of sugar. And elevated blood sugar has been directly associated with heart disease. But more on that later… 

Dr. Kolvekar also suggests replacing natural butter with the industrially-processed, chemically-modified yellow-colored substance known as margarine. Great idea, doc! In the interest of disclosure, the Daily Mail notes that, “Dr. Kolvekar’s comments were issued by KTB, a public relations company that works for Unilever, the maker of Flora margarine.” 

Well, that might explain his motivations. But what about the veracity of his argument? And what can explain the last fifty years of propaganda against saturated fat? Is it really the villain it has been made out to be? 

I asked our own heart-health expert, Dr. Dwight Lundell, for his thoughts. Dr. Lundell knows the heart and cardiovascular system as well as anyone on the planet. During his 25-year career in medicine, he performed more than 5,000 open heart surgeries. And for much of that time, he toed the party line on saturated fat and cholesterol. But his own experience – and a closer review of the literature – caused him to reject the premise. He later wrote a book on the REAL causes of heart disease, which you can learn more about here. 

Dr. Lundell writes, “One wants their heart surgeon to be exacting. But, in the case of Dr. Shyam Kolvekar, who called for the banning of butter to prevent the epidemic of heart disease, he is exactly wrong!” 

According to Dr. Lundell, “The theory that saturated fat causes heart disease fails on many accounts.”  First, it is said that saturated fats raise cholesterol levels in the blood, and elevated cholesterol levels cause heart disease. 

Lundell points out that an article published in the American Heart Journal last year, showed that in an examination of 137,000 people admitted to the hospital with heart attack, 70% of them had normal blood cholesterol levels! 

It should also be noted that the long-running Framingham Heart Study showed that after the age of 50 (when 90% of all heart attacks occur), lower cholesterol levels are clearly associated with a shorter life expectancy. 

But let’s put cholesterol aside for a moment and discuss the purported mass killer, saturated fat. Certainly there must have been conclusive studies and solid evidence that kicked off the campaign against animal fat. Not quite. 

Ditch those tiresome aerobic workouts! They’re actually making your heart and lungs smaller – and increasing your risk of disease. And jumping around for 45 minutes to an hour or more is not helping you lose weight, either! 

PACE® proves once-and-for-all that a great body and vibrant health does NOT have to be difficult, time consuming or boring. You’re just seconds away from unleashing the killer body and disease-free life that only Dr. Sears’ PACE® program can give you… Click HERE. 

One of the first studies to implicate animal fat in heart disease came in the early 1900s. See if you can spot the flaws in this one. In 1908, Russian scientist, M.A. Ignatovsky fed protein-rich animal foods to a group of rabbits. He soon discovered that the rabbits developed arterial plaques and cardiovascular disease.  Researchers discovered that the same thing happens when chickens, guinea pigs and goats eat a high-fat diet. 

Later these studies were cited as evidence of a high-fat diet causing heart disease in humans. Hmm… let’s see. All of these animals are obligate herbivores. They evolved eating nothing but plants. They are clearly not designed to eat meat. When we feed them meat and fat it makes them sick. That makes perfect sense. What doesn’t make sense is why researchers extrapolated these results to omnivorous humans. 

The Fraud of Ancel Keys Kicks off the Lipid Hypothesis 

But the “lipid hypothesis” really gained traction in the 1950s, when physiologist Ancel Keys, Ph.D., published what became known as the Seven Countries Study. 

Keys presented a comparison of heart disease mortality and fat intake across seven different countries. His comparison showed a “remarkable relationship.” The countries with the highest fat intake had the highest levels of heart disease. The countries with the lowest fat intake had the lowest levels of heart disease. Those in the middle fell conveniently in between. 

At the time, Jacob Yerushalmy, a PhD statistician, at the University of California at Berkeley pointed out that we had data on the amount of fat consumed in 22 countries. So why wasn’t it called the 22 Country Study? 

It wasn’t called that, because Ancel Keys started with the conclusion. Then he cherry-picked the countries that matched his pre-conceived notion and threw out the ones that contradicted it. And most of them did! When all 22 countries were analyzed, the “remarkable relationship” remarkably disappeared. 

Furthermore, Keys established no causative basis. And he based his conclusions on only two phenomena – dietary fat and heart disease. This did not account for the possibility that something else could have caused the heart disease. 

It might seem hard to believe that this flawed and fraudulent study was the genesis of the entire animal-fat-causes-heart-disease movement. Certainly, in the last sixty years, there must be hundreds of controlled studies that prove the link, right? 

Not quite… there are NONE! 

What about the societies that consume a very high percentage of saturated fat in the diet – groups like the Maasai in Africa or the Inuits in the Arctic North? Do they show signs of heart disease? No, and in fact, quite the opposite is true. 

In the 1960s, Vanderbilt University scientist, George Mann, MD, studied the nomadic Maasai in Kenya and Tanzania. These populations consumed a very high saturated fat diet, including drinking the blood of their cattle. Yet they were not only lean and virtually free of heart disease, they also had some of the lowest cholesterol levels ever measured! 

Skeptical scientists argued that they must have some sort of hereditary protection. However, British researchers found that when Maasai men moved to the city and began to consume a modern diet, their cholesterol levels skyrocketed! 

In an editorial published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1977, Dr. Mann called the cholesterol theory of heart disease “the greatest scam in the history of medicine.” 

But let’s get back to those studies… or, more accurately, the lack of studies proving a link between saturated fat and heart disease. 

There have been about 30 long-term population studies that have attempted to link saturated fat to heart disease. Of those, only four have shown even the weakest association. And all four had major disqualifications: they were either too small to be significant, they did not isolate the variables properly, or they showed a slight decrease in heart deaths but an increase in death due to cancer. 

But population studies are notoriously unreliable anyway. The gold standard among health studies are controlled, randomized trials. And not a single study of this nature has ever shown definitive evidence that saturated-fat consumption leads to heart disease. In fact, many have shown the exact opposite! 

Authors of the MR-FIT trial were determined to prove the case. They enrolled 350,000 men, all of whom were considered at high risk of heart disease. In one set of participants, cholesterol consumption was reduced by 42%, saturated fat by 28%, and total calories by 21%. 

What happened? Nothing. The authors referred to the results as “disappointing,” stating that “The overall results do not show a beneficial effect on Coronary Heart Disease or total mortality from this multifactor intervention.” 

The Women’s Health Initiative was a huge government study, costing almost three quarters of a billion dollars. Among 20,000 women in the study who adhered to a diet low saturated fat diet for eight years, there was no reduction in the rates of heart-disease or stroke. 

Then there was the Cochrane Collaboration, in 2000. This group rigorously selected 27 low-fat and cholesterol-lowering trials to review (more than 200 trials were rejected). Their conclusion was that diets low in saturated fat have “no significant effect” on heart attack mortality. Lead researcher Lee Hooper, PhD, said “I was disappointed that we didn’t find something more definitive.” 

Or how about something more recent? 

This month, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published a review of 21 studies. The studies ranged from 5 to 23 years in length and encompassed 347,747 subjects. In the authors’ own words: “Intake of saturated fat was not associated with an increased risk of CHD, stroke, or CVD.” 

I could go on… and on… and on… but I’ll conclude with this. 

In 1988, U.S. Surgeon General’s office decided to end the confusion. They set out to finally prove the causal link between saturated fat and heart disease. After 11 years, the project was abandoned. The Surgeon General’s office stated that they, “did not anticipate fully the magnitude of the additional external expertise and staff resources that would be needed.” Sure! After more than a decade of trying, the government just “just didn’t have the resources.” 

Scientists and researchers are supposed to have an open mind. They are not supposed to be dogmatic and swayed by politics and peer pressure. But that is exactly what the majority of scientists and doctors have proven of themselves. It is not terribly surprising. Massive industries and shining scientific careers have been built on this faulty theory. 

If it were not so tragic, it would be funny to listen to them explain away contradictory findings and make excuses for why their studies don’t match their hoped-for conclusions. The most common excuses are that the “trial didn’t last long enough” or they “didn’t lower the saturated-fat intake enough.” It seems that option number three never crosses their mind… perhaps the entire hypothesis is wrong! 

Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD has called the saturated fat theory of heart disease “one of the greatest and most harmful misconceptions in the history of medicine.” Dr. George Mann called it the “public health diversion of the century.” 

And the problem is not just the wasted time and billions of dollars dedicated to an unscientific myth. The bigger problem is that undue focus on the saturated fat bugaboo has stolen attention from the REAL causes of heart disease. And perhaps even worse, is that many of the dietary recommendations to reduce heart disease have actually been shown to CAUSE heart disease (not to mention cancer, diabetes and obesity). 

If you truly want to protect yourself from the nation’s number one killer, don’t smoke and reduce your stress levels. At least the medical authorities have gotten those two right. And when it comes to your diet, forget about saturated fat and cholesterol. Here is what you should do instead: 

• Consume more monounsaturated fats from sources like olive oil, nuts, avocados and avocado oil
• Cut out the sugar and refined carbohydrates
• Consume more omega-3 fatty acids, from wild game, grass-fed beef and bison, sardines and wild (not farm-raised) salmon. And take an omega-3 fish oil supplement.
• And reduce as much as possible omega-6 fatty acids in your diet. These come primarily from conventionally raised meats, processed foods, fried foods and vegetable and seed oils (corn, soybean, sunflower, cottonseed, etc.)

Obesity continues to increase in the US.  The average weight of adults is 25 pounds more than it was 20 years ago: why?

It’s not genetics when so many gain so much so quickly but our environment has changed.  Consumption of carbonated beverages sweetened with high fructose corn syrup has increased radically.  At 150 calories per 8oz serving and the average adult having more than 3 servings a day…  It adds up to a 20 pound gain in a year.

There is a system in the body that controls energy balance.  What has caused this system to get out of whack so that we continue to eat when our bodies  have enough to sustain us?  That’s what the body should do, stop us.

The drawing on the right shows the complex makeup of vitamin B12.  It is the largest vitamin known.  B12’s proponents say it is the Energy vitamin, even JFK was known to get B12 injections.  So follow along here and see what B12 can do for you.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency Symptoms

Symptoms included fatigue, irritability, tiredness, lack of concentration, and depression: in the extreme a long term severe B12 deficiency can cause death.

The complete list of vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms is huge: for example there are many gastrointestinal effects but this article is mostly about vitamin B12 and energy.

Vitamin B12 Benefits

B12 is well known for boosting energy.  In fact, B12 works quickly and usually provides a rapid increase in energy.   Stories abound of the rich and famous getting injections from their favorite doctors.   These injections are expensive and unneeded for most people. Today there are excellent supplements available over the counter that can be dissolved under the tongue (sublingual) that can provide the supplementation and energy boost that you need.

Vitamin B12 has a solid reputation for boosting energy levels. It is responsible for building up red blood cells, it’s used in making DNA, and for releasing the energy contained in food.  Most people take in the B12 they need in animal protean, fish, eggs, and milk – the body also manufactures it.  But some have issues in achieving proper levels of B12 and a supplement can be a God-send.

Many give good reports to B12 including some chronic fatigue sufferers.   Teamed up with melatonin vitamin B12 may also benefit you If you have trouble sleeping – and B12 is a co-factor in melatonin production.

The Mayo Clinic says, “Inability to absorb vitamin B12 from the intestinal tract can be caused by a disease known as pernicious anemia.”  Pernicious anemia is most likely to develop over the age of 40. They go on to say that people on a vegetarian diet may also have B12 deficiency.

A B12 deficiency can affect both men and women and is more pronounced above the age of 40.  Deficiency can cause fatigue, apathy, weight loss, balance problems, bone loss, back pain, tingling extremities, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), eye problems, headaches, and general low energy.

So How Much B12 Should I Take?

The U.S RDA for B12 is 2.5mcg but many investigators say you must take at least 200 times that amount to gain the benefit, that’s 500mcg.  Happily that dosage and higher doses of vitamin B12 are available in the vitamin sections of most pharmacies.

No adverse effects from high doses of B12 have been seen and even doses of 2500mcg (as of this writing $5.00 for a bottle of 60 at Walmart) are apparently safe.  Check with your doctor and enjoy the many benefits of vitamin B12.

There are no real secrets to losing belly fat or fat from any other place on your body.  There are some basics that go to overall fitness and they will do the trick if you make them part of your lifestyle.

Drink a glass of water every hour.  Most people are dehydrated and don’t have sufficient water to  cleanse their bodies and wash away fat.

Eat salad, vegetables, and fruit.  High fiber and nutrients are what you are after.  Easy on the fruit.

Easy on breads and such.  Follow the rule to avoid “white” foods.  Flour, sugar, dairy, rice, and other white color foods.  These tend to have a high glycemic index and can spike your blood sugar.  This causes insulin to be released and this is your bodies signal to store fat.

Get proteins including eggs and lean meat.

Eat regular meals including breakfast.

Investigate new spices and herbs to season your food.  Amazingly many have health properties that you can’t imagine.  Use them to get away from salt if you can.  Cayenne pepper is a good one to start with.  Use it to season but also try it as a drink.  Ice water with lemon and a couple of shakes of cayenne pepper is an excellent cleansing drink.  You might also try a couple of shakes in a cup of hot water for a somewhat strange alternative to coffee.  Use Google and Wikipedia and type in the name of the spice you’d like to learn about.

Get a good whole body workout that lasts 20 minutes or more and which involves some weight or resistance band training and do it 3 or more times a week.

Walk several miles on days when you don’t do the workout.

Six pack abs is the mantra of gyms, fitness publishers, and popular magazines.  Six-Pack Abs by Matt Roberts is just one of many good books on the subject.

It is no wonder there is so much attention to the subject – when others see six pack abs on you they will consider it sexy.

Female Six Pack Abs

The big secret is getting to your six pack abs is not constant exercise of your ab muscles.  Sure you need to exercise but the big thing is: burn off that belly fat and pull the curtains back on what you already have.

Teenage Six Pack Abs

Again, pull the curtains back and reveal what you already have.  Use  whole body workouts and diet.  Even if you are over weight it doesn’t have to take forever.  Specific ab exercise, while important are a relatively small part of getting your abs.

Male Six Pack Abs

Males, as with women and teens already have decent abs.  Again they are hidden by layers of fat and you must reveal them and then develop them.

Diet For Six Pack Abs: Cut The Bad Carbs

You need a great diet to get maximum results.  This is a diet that cuts unhealthy carbs.  These are carbs with high glycemic index.   This means they quickly spike your blood sugar and trigger insulin production.  This is the bodies signal to store fat.

So what are these evil carbs?  White food – sugar, flour, a lot of dairy, rice, potatoes, and you get the idea.

What are good carbs?  Vegetables like broccoli, green beans, salads.   Combine this with moderate amounts of fruit and you will be set.  Look for fiber rich carbs and you will help yourself to a big health boost.

You also need lean meats, chicken, eggs, in other words quality proteins, again in moderation.

Begin with a good diet, whole body workout at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes or more, remain active during the day and stick to this.  Soon the curtain will pull back on your abs (and other parts of your body) and you will find the abs you are looking for.

The benefits of being fit are enormous.  You can fight stress, disease, help avoid the chronic diseases of age, and build self esteem all in a few minutes a day.

People who are fit deal better with stress.  Many maladies that affect our modern society are stress related.  Usually not directly induced by stress but stress over time lowers the bodies resistance and opens the door to high blood pressure, heart disease and even cancer.

Dr. Herbert Benson wrote a book called “The Relaxation Response” a number of years back that describes simple meditation to deal with stress and how the meditation can help with such stress related diseases.

Beyond the relaxation response a level of fitness will help you with stress too.  Getting your muscles toned will boost your ability to deal with stress while tuning up all of the other systems in your body.

There has been so much emphasis on running and aerobic exercise that only recently has the benefits of proper weight training and other exercise forms mixed come into focus.  If  you use a variety of approaches the training affect on your body increases.  This is the added benefit to programs such as Turbulence Training.

Physical exercise and getting hard muscles is the thing that will kick any weight loss program you are on into high gear.  A good looking body is also great for self esteem.  Getting your body in top shape, knowing you are ready to handle whatever comes along is worth a fortune.

Spend the 20 minutes to an hour a day getting into shape and increasing your energy and metabolism is a great investment in time.  It can yield great increases in your energy and be the thing to cause that weight you want to lose to shed quickly.

Your mind will benefit as well.  Keep your mind young and agile by becoming fit.
