Common Weight Loss Surgery Linked To Lasting Digestive Issues
(Reuters Health) - A common weight loss surgery is associated with long-term gastrointestinal problems and food intolerance, a recent study suggests.
Researchers examined data on 249 extremely obese patients who had what’s known as laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, which reduces the stomach to a small pouch about the size of an egg.
Two years after surgery, these patients had lost about 31 percent of their total body weight on average. But compared to the control group of 295 obese people who didn’t have operations, the gastric bypass patients were far more likely to experience indigestion and an inability...

"Ibuprofen could raise the risk of heart failure by up to 83%," the Daily Mirror warned in September.

Weight loss surgery linked to gastrointestinal complaints
Laparoscopic gastric bypass is an effective treatment for obesity, but a new study finds that patients who undergo the surgery often complain of gastrointestinal problems. The study included 249 obese patients who underwent the surgery and 295 obese controls, all of whom completed a questionnaire. Surgical patients completed the questionnaire two years after surgery. Surgical patients often experienced indigestion. Also, food intolerance, especially for food with a high fat or sugar content and for red meat, was a common side-effect of the surgery: food intolerance for specific products was reported by 70.7 per cent of pos...

3 Reasons to Serve Mindfulness With Your Next Meal
How often do you mindlessly shovel down your meal, focused on a blaring TV or a spreadsheet on your computer? For many of us, this scenario probably happens more times that we would like to admit. Our days are crammed full of to-dos and distractions, and it's hard to take a break to sit and simply "be" with our meal.

In this era of constant distraction and high-stress lifestyles, many studies have emerged demonstrating the negative effects that mindless eating has on our health.

Galangal: Boost Your Brain Power and Memory
Of the top 10 causes of death in America, Alzheimer's disease is the only one that can't be prevented, cured or slowed.
At least that's what mainstream doctors in the West will tell you…
But try telling that to the people of Bali.
The galangal root is similar to ginger, but it has a bit more bite. Some people describe it as "piney" or "woodsy."
You see, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is extremely rare in Bali. And the majority of people living on Bali who DO have Alzheimer's are expats from the West.
Part of the reason why the Balinese don't get AD may lie in one incredible...

Thanksgiving. Fragile. Handle with Care.
I am not a doctor, a scientist or a therapist but I often hear about loss in my work as founder of Less Cancer. I too have had significant loss like so many people.
I remember telling my daughter that I was never one of those individuals who knew what I wanted to do when I grew up. To which my daughter replied, "Thank God because clearly there was a bigger plan for you." I did not know exactly what she meant. She continued, "Dad, how could you ever be mystified as to what your calling was? Who could lose as many people as you have to cancer and think you should be anything but the founder of Less Cancer?"
While the s...
