Get gastric bypass surgery in your mind, and start to melt off the pounds.
Have our writers gone insane or can Lap Band Hypnosis be a real option for you?
I’m Kimberly Walleston, with a spotlight focus for InsidersHealth News.
Think yourself down a few sizes.
It’s as simple as that.
Okay, there’s more that goes into it, but for a growing number of people, Lap Band Hypnosis
is working wonders.
The idea is that a licensed psychologist and hypnotherapist will implant suggestions into
your mind, making you believe that your stomach has actually gotten smaller.
Even though there are no stitches or side effects, the mind takes over and makes you
believe that you need smaller portions to get full.
And while it might seem a bit loony, it’s been a miracle for those with serious weight
problems.
The actual Lap Band surgery is one of the most successful programs for short term and
long-term weight loss.
It does, however, come with a whole set of problems and side effects that can be life-threatening.
But if you just imagine a smaller stomach; imagine smaller portions filling you up, it
seems you can get most of the pros without any of the cons.
But many doctors, of course, remain skeptical.
But for patients across the northeast – and the country – gastric bypass hypnotism is
proving to do what fad diets and workout programs couldn’t.
As for our take?
We’re smart enough to realize that our minds can do some pretty amazing things, and if
people are losing weight in a healthy way because of a few sessions with a psychologist,
then we’re ready to embrace a little magic.
In lighter news, Hollywood HealthBeat host Kim Lockett will tell us how Jewel is reducing
her risk of breast cancer with the help of a man!
That’s coming right up.
Thanks.
I’m Kim Lockett and this is Hollywood Healthbeat, your lifeline to the hottest health happenings
in Tinsel Town.
Today, we’re checking in with new mom, Jewel, who is reducing her risk of breast cancer
simply by breastfeeding her 7 month old son, Kase.
In a celebrity interview with Celebrity Baby Scoop, Jewel said her motivation for breastfeeding
is both nutrition and the fact that “breast cancer decreases almost 70% for one year of
breastfeeding!
And it can go up to almost 90% for two years of breastfeeding.”
We checked Jewel’s facts and while these statistics are not proven, there is a strong
link between breastfeeding and breast cancer reduction.
According to a 2010 study published in the archives of internal medicine, women with
a family history of breast cancer were 59% less likely to develop breast cancer if they
breastfed their children.
While researchers are not sure why this connection exists, they suspect that the lactation decreases
inflammation in the breast tissue that might encourage the growth of breast cancer cells.
One more benefit – babies who are breastfed during their first year may be less likely
to develop ear infections, allergies, diarrhea, eczema, bacterial meningitis, and other serious
illnesses.
And women who breastfed at least 24 months have a 23% decrease risk of developing coronary
heart disease.
Does 24 months seem like a long time?
Jewel thinks so too and says she will probably only breastfeed baby Kase for a solid 12.
She does point out that the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends supplemented breastfeeding
for two years or more.
But the American Academy of Pediatrics says that one year is still sufficient.
Even if the stats are shaky, there is no denying the wonderful benefits of breastfeeding, should
your body let you.
It’s your decision.
We commend Jewel for doing her research when it comes to her little gem.
Until next time, I’m Kim Lockett for Hollywood Healthbeat and I always have my finger to
the pulse of Hollywood!
Little gem, Jewel, I get it!
Nice one, Kim!
That’s it for this edition of InsidersHealth News.
We’ll see you right here next time!
