Obesity Is Defeated With Nose (Not Mouth) Breathing during Exercise

New medical research studies suggest that obesity has its roots in low body oxygen levels. Tissue hypoxia leads to elevated levels of HIF-1 (hypoxia inducible factor-1). This is the substance that causes insulin resistance and increased formation of adipose tissue (fat). A team of medical doctors from University of Texas Southweste Medical Center in Dallas (Texas) announced their discovery in the article "Hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha induces fibrosis and insulin resistance in white adipose tissue" that was published in 2009 in the Molecular and Cell Biology journal.

Why Strictly Nasal Breathing At Exercise Is Beneficial for Diabetes and Heart Patients

Decades of medical research and dozens of clinical studies have shown that patients with heart disease and/or diabetes have heavy breathing at rest. (You may find over 15 such studies on my website.) Instead of breathing 6-7 L/min (the medical norm), they pant up to 15-18 L/min at rest. Furthermore, numerous medical studies have clearly shown that development of diabetes and heart disease is based, on a cell level, on low body oxygen content. Tissue hypoxia is the cause of both conditions.

What's with the Gluten Free craze anyway?

I like to experiment and so last September I decided to see what all the fuss was about and embarked on a Gluten free diet. Unless you've been out of this planet, you know it means not eating wheat, rye, barley, kamut, spelt, and even oat (although that last one is debatable).
