If you have been dieting and exercising and doing the best you can in controlling the amounts of food you are eating, but still you are not losing weight, or you are even GAINING weight, then it is possible you have a thyroid problem.

Hyperthyroidism may cause a decrease in weight, but hypothyroidism--slow thyroid function--can increase weight despite efforts to lose a portion of it. The slow thyroid function can decrease TSH levels and slow down metabolism. This can also set a higher weight set point, which the body tries to reach to maintain a standard weight.

So what's the best weight loss product for thyroid problem sufferers? There is none. The best course of action is to first have your thyroid tested, then consult with your doctor on how you can deal with losing weight despite hypothyroidism.

There have been many supposedly "thyroid cures" for overweight men and women. One such touted cure is Dr Siegel's Cookie Diet. However, experts say having less than 800 calories per day may not be safe for your health.

Another possible solution is the use of CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid, which doctors have proven to have some effect in suppressing appetite among thyroid problem sufferers and still be safe for their health.

    I have tried different alternative methods but tend to stay with natural thyroid supplements . It is formulated to effectively assist the thyroid gland in the performance of its vital function.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

By
A sample of sulfur (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Despite its acrid smell, a bar of sulfur soap brings many health benefits to your skin through its antiseptic, anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities. In olden times, individuals had to take a dip in sulfur-rich hot springs located at a distance from an active volcano. Spas often appeared around these areas to provide patrons privacy and comfort while they visited the pools of heated water and sulfur. Many people frequented these places because the hot water therapy soothed their aching muscles and the sulfur healed their skin problems, such as acne vulgaris, whiteheads, blackheads, eczema, rosacea, scabies, and seborrheic dermatitis. Now, sulfur's cleansing properties are packaged neatly in soap bars. The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme...

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

By
A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti...

A brief vacation

By
I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
