Bread is high in SALT. Cut it down or cut it out if you are overweight.

Whether it's white, brown, wholewheat, wholemeal, granary, multigrain, mixed grain, malted, seeded, rye bread, ciabatta, whether it contains added oats, oatmeal or bran, whether it's a milk loaf or a farmhouse, a bread cake or a bread roll, soft-grain or crusty: - it's high in salt! - And salt/sodium is your enemy if you want to lose excess weight or reduce high blood pressure.

How to lose excess weight safely and easily by eating less salt and salty food. You will feel so much better!

Sodium foods increase fluid retention; potassium foods decrease fluid retention

So if you are overweight or obese you need to avoid salt/sodium and salty food, and eat plenty of fruit and unsalted vegetables because these are naturally rich in potassium. You will then safely and easily lose excess water weight and you will have much more energy because of not having to carry that extra fluid around with you all the time.

Do not believe the lies of the Diet-Gurus who tell you that by eating fewer calories than your body requires you will 'burn off' excess fat.

You won't! Your body's calorie needs will have to be met somehow. You will lose some of your precious firm flesh: some of your skin will be sacrificed and over time you will notice its loss as the skin becomes thinner.

The healthy body has a natural way of ridding itself of excess fat: it is excreted in the faeces. In this matter, a healthy body means a body that is not deficient in calcium. If your body is retaining excess fat then it isn't a diet you need, it is more calcium.

If you are overweight/obese, your blood vessel walls have been weakened by salt sensitivity and excess fluid in the bloodstream. This salt problem results in the body being depleted of calcium as calcium is excreted in the urine. You can reduce the excess blood volume by eating less salt and salty food.

FAT RETENTION

Consider this: if the Diet-Gurus were to tell you the truth about how to lose excess weight (i.e. by avoiding salt and salty food) they would no longer be able to peddle their dangerous nonsense; they would be out of a job and their source of income would dry up.

Diets don't work! Give up dieting! - Give it up forever! Diets lose you your looks and your health; they do not make you slim.

Driver suffering from sleep apnoea fell asleep at the wheel and caused four deaths...

Pile-up lorry driver guilty of nodding off

Extract from the Telegraph:

"A lorry driver who wiped out a family of four when he fell asleep at the wheel was facing jail last night.

Ian King, 61, was driving at more than 40mph when he dozed off, ploughing his 30-ton articulated lorry into a queue of traffic on the A34 near Bicester, Oxfordshire.

Travelling in one of the cars crushed in the collision were Malcolm Dowling, 46, his wife Janice, 42, and their sons Richard, 16, and George, 11, who were on their way to their home in Lichfield, Staffs, after a holiday in France. All four were killed.

King, of Groby, Leicester, suffers from sleep apnoea, a breathing disorder that can cause drowsiness, and it was claimed that he would have known he was falling asleep but failed to do anything that would have kept him awake.

He claimed that he did not know he had the condition, said to affect an estimated 600,000 men and women in Britain, and so could not have done anything to avert the tragedy."

Are you at risk of falling asleep at the wheel? - You can lower that risk and improve your mental alertness by cutting down on salt/sodium. - Sleep apnoea is associated with being overweight or obese. - The easiest, safest and most reliable way to lose excess weight is to forget about calories and calorie restriction, and concentrate instead on eating less salt and making sure you eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke and heart problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs or expense by eating less salt! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!

Britain's leading foetal medicine expert has condemned the IVF industry for 'exploiting women' by offering them unproven and expensive treatments.

Private IVF clinics are 'exploiting women' - Observer

Extract:

"Britain's leading foetal medicine expert has condemned the IVF industry, saying some private clinics are exploiting women desperate to get pregnant by offering them unproven and expensive treatments.

Speaking publicly for the first time, Professor Charles Rodeck, founder and head of the unit for foetal medicine at University College Hospital London, has expressed particular concern over some of the drugs and tests being offered to infertile couples.

'The commercial world of IVF provision is a very competitive one, so some clinics try to keep a step ahead by offering more interventions than their competitors, even if they know those procedures might not work,' he said.

Rodeck transformed the use of foetal medicine in Britain by initiating the use of ultrasound for foetal therapy and diagnosis of malformations in the late Seventies. He went on to set up the first foetal medicine unit in the early Eighties, as well as setting up clinics specialising in the care of young women.

'Even though I have no evidence that the mothers or babies are being harmed by the extra hormones and steroids they are increasingly being given by these clinics, you can't be sure what happens to a baby when you put unnecessary and unproven medicines into its mother's body,' he said.

His work has left him open to attacks from the anti-abortion lobby but he is defiant. 'The truth is that not all human life is totally sacrosanct,' he said. 'Nature has a mechanism called "miscarriage" which eliminates many of its early errors but it is not always totally efficient and so some of these errors survive. What we are trying to do simply use technology to assist Nature.'

Rodeck also criticised some private clinics for giving poor information to couples. 'Offering these interventions becomes exploitation when clinics do not spell out the pros, cons and limitations of these interventions because couples so desperately want to get pregnant, that they will pay for virtually any treatment if they think it will increase their chances,' he said.

There are 85 licensed fertility clinics in the UK, in an industry worth up to £500m a year. According to latest figures from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, in 2004 more than 30,000 patients underwent more than 40,000 treatment cycles, each costing up to £8,000.

Rodeck says he agrees with the concerns voiced earlier this year by Lord Winston, professor of fertility studies at Imperial College London, that the IVF industry has been corrupted by money. He pointed to a growing range of expensive clinical practices offered to couples at private clinics, despite there being very limited evidence that such interventions work."

It's good to see a doctor warning that prescribed drugs can do harm.

If a woman is subfertile because she is overweight/obese, avoiding salt and salty food would help because this would reduce the fluid retention that is the cause of obesity.

This unfortunate morbidly obese woman, shown on youtube, will not lose weight by the exercise she is taking...)o:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLFKmK6OZ50

And that exercise will also put a strain on her feet, which have to bear all that weight/pressure and friction. She will be made very tired by the exercise, and her hunger will increase because of the extra energy expended, and her poor feet will ache and become swollen and painful. - I hope she puts her feet up when she gets home!

If you know this poor woman, or anyone in a similar condition, please pass on the information that to lose excess weight it is vitally necessary to cut down on salt and salty food - seriously cut down. This reduces the fluid retention which is the cause of obesity. Eating plenty of fruit and fresh vegetables makes the weight loss faster. A really obese woman (or man, or child) who follows this advice will EASILY lose about a stone (14 pounds) in a month, and will continue to lose weight as long as the advice continues to be taken. Obese people are sensitive to salt, and so for them salt is harmful - much more harmful than it is for people who are not obese or overweight.

IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO DIET OR COUNT CALORIES OR GO HUNGRY!

And it is not necessary to do exercises to lose weight.

Lose weight by eating less salt! Go on! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
