Added for You - Medicaid Payment for Diets - A Flawed Plan Based on Flawed Data
Unless you don't own a TV and don't watch the 10 PM news, you have no doubt been bombarded with reports on the dangers of trans fat. Most people don't even know what that is, let alone what it can do to you. Well, for those of you who don't watch the 10 PM news and haven't already been scared out your mind to the point where you'll never eat another Big Mac again, this article may just shed some light on the subject of trans fat, what it is and what it can do to you.The first thing we need to know is exactly what trans fat is. Trans fat is fat that does not exist naturally. In other words, it's manufactured fat, as if there isn't enough natural fat in the beef that we eat to harden our arteries. Now, you might be wondering why we have to "manufacture" fat. Well, we do this to make things la
Sarah is a 28 y/o accountant who had a traumatic past that she kept to herself. At age 15, she was grabbed by a masked man while she was jogging in a park. The man threatened to kill her with a knife and brutally raped her. She screamed but nobody seemed to have heard her.Since that time, Sarah has developed nightmares about being raped or killed. In most days, she has suffered from flashbacks of her being attacked. Each time she watches TV shows that remind her of the incident, she gets scared, overwhelmed, and becomes agitated. At times, she develops anxiety attacks, palpitations, sweating, and restlessness.Since the attack, Sarah can hardly trust people. As a result, her relationships have profoundly suffered. More recently, she’s been depressed and feeling hopeless. She hasn’t be
The methodology used by the state government to calculate the $100 million in annual costs linked to obesity is based on flawed methodology which leads to flawed data. Unfortunately, this unsound data has been used to justify paying Weight Watchers and to promote increasing the enrollment of health benefits group UniCare.
West Virginia has started a trend which will be followed by other states, especially the states with higher obesity rates, such as Alabama. This move to classify a lifestyle-induced problem as a disease, if successful, could lead to higher insurance premiums, more prescription and over-the-counter weight-loss drugs, increased harassment of supplement and food manufacturers and marketers, and lawsuits against anything that contains calories.
Obesity contributes to social problems and health complications, but it is not a disease. And as such, actions taken to reverse the effect of poor lifestyle habits should not be paid for with taxpayers’ money. Taxpayers already pay the cost of treating diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease that are aggravated by being obese; we should not have to pay for programs that are not medical treatments. There is no research that supports the assumption that obesity causes disease. It is a fact that losing weight is not a cur
So you do not want to look like Homer Simpson, and you miss the old days when you have hair falling in front of your face, unlike now that your hairline has receded. And you really, really would rather not have a hairpiece or a toupee, since everybody can spot those, or if not, sooner or later they will know you are wearing one and that is just embarrassing. The good thing is that now you have an alternative – one that looks and feels just like the real thing, the way it used to be.Frontal hair transplants have been a problem for most because it looked unnatural to suddenly have hair sprouting at the faint line demarcating your forehead and scalp. But since the arrival of micrografts, it has been possible to mimic and restore natural hair patterns. It is because micrografts are smaller tra

Chances are, you may not know about the use of herbal medicine to provide stress relief.We certainly can’t blame if you don’t. Herbal medicine, after all, is still trying to gain its former popularity and so many people are still in doubt of its efficacy and prefer to use prescription medicine instead. But you see, if you take the time to check historical texts, the use of herbal medicine can date back as far as 5,000 years ago! The efficacy of herbal medicine, therefore, should not be in doubt anymore since it’s supported by five millennia worth of proof.Before we give you an example of herbal medicine that can provide stress relief, however, we shall give you a little bit of dos and don’ts on the subject of herbal medicine to ensure safety and proper use.Do consult your doct
The “more than $100 million in annual costs linked to obesity” is misleading and intended to justify an increase in Medicaid spending. Since the method used by the government and adopted by the obesity industry to determine who is over weight or obese is illogical, it follows that the assertion that two-thirds of adult West Virginians are overweight or obese is also illogical. Therefore the $100 million in annual costs linked to obesity is deceptive.
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the measurement used to place people into overweight and obese categories using only a person’s height and weight. A person is considered over-weight if one has a BMI of 25 or greater; a BMI of 30 or more makes you obese, from which the statistic labeling over 65 percent of Americans as overweight is derived.
The method does not differentiate weight from muscle mass and weight from fat, nor where the fat is located on the individual’s body. For example, using this method, the actor Tom Cruise who is 5 feet 7 inches and 201 pounds will have a BMI of 31, which will make him obese. And actors Will Smith who is 6-2 and 210 pounds with a BMI of 27 and Pierce Brosnan (6-2, 211 pounds, BMI
