Why Exercise is so Important for Bariatric Patients

 
 
 
Exercise for bariatric surgery patients is often the first part of a patient's long-term plan to get skipped following surgery. In reality, its just about as important as your diet!
There are 3 main activities that you should regularly take part in.
Follow an appropriate bariatric diet plan!
Actively participate in weight loss surgery support groups!
Follow a consistent and progressive exercise routine.
Two of the three are easier to do...
1. If you don't follow your diet plan, you can get sick, you can stretch your stomach back out over time and you won't lose the weight that you could be losing if you properly ate.
2. Participating in weight loss surgery support groups is the next easiest thing to do to help you through the hard parts and also keep you accountable.
3. Not surprisingly, exercise seems to be the harder because you may not like it, you get tired of doing it, your too tired to go before work or after, etc.
You must make working out a PRIORITY, for two good reasons!
You will lose more weight & the benefits to your physical and mental health are marvelous!
Not convinced? A study was done to compare the weight loss of gastric bypass surgery patients, who did moderately intense physical activity for a minimum of 2 1/2 hours a week against patients that did not.
6 months after surgery 5.5% greater excess weight loss {56.0% vs. 50.5%}
12 months after surgery 5.7% greater excess weight loss {67.4% vs. 61.7%}

I tried to look up buffalo chicken shit on a shingle with no recipes but I came across this one. Now you can do the nachos or you can create your own shit on a shingle version with a piece of toast and melted cheese on top of the toast with the buffalo chicken on top...hmmmm... Anyways, here ya go. Recipe makes 6-8 servings. What you'll need: Nachos.... 1/3 - 1/2c you're favorite hot sauce 3c cooked shredded chicken 8-10oz tortilla chips 1 1/3 - 2c shredded Mexican blend cheese Topping.... 1/2c plain greek yogurt 3-5T more of hot sauce 3-4 green onions thinly sliced Create: Preheat the oven to 400˚F. In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce with the shredded chicken until well coated. Set aside. Place the tortilla chips in an even layer on a baking sheet, face side up so the chips will hold the toppings. Add the chicken evenly over the chips, followed by the cheese. Bak

Home Remedies for Sinus Drainage

Every time I get a sinus infection I have sinus drainage forever or at least it seems so I had looked up ways to help the drainage. Below are a few ideas to try next time you start looking like Rudolph. Drink plenty of fluids Run a humidifier or vaporizer Use saline solution and or a Neti Pot (make your own mixture for the Neti Pot by dissolving 1tsp of sea salt in 1 pint of distilled water. Add a pinch of baking soda to the mixture.) Steam! Boil some water and add some eucalyptus oil to the water (you can use Walmart's brand for this). Lower the pot to a simmer and take a towel over your head and put your head over the pot. Chicken Soup, yes you read that right! A 2000 study found that chicken soup reduces inflammation associated with sinus congestion, runny nose and colds.
