New genetic mutation tied to Alzheimer's disease (Reuters)

Reuters - Scientists have found evidence that a mutation in a gene called CALHM1 that results in abnormal calcium signaling influences the risk of Alzheimer's disease, a devastating neurodegenerative disease that affects early 18 million people in the world.

Beginning a diet and exercise program can be difficult and intimidating for those looking to finally shed those excess pounds. However, here are some tips to help you stick to your goals this time!

Set sensible goals You should set realistic goals about how much weight you can lose in a specific time frame. Determine what your ideal figure is for your body frame and set short- and long-term goals to reach that weight. Remember, healthy weight loss should be about one to two pounds per week (unless you are severely obese).

Make a Deadline Figure out exactly what weight you want to be at (or number of inches lost) and set a specific date for that goal. If you calculate approximately one to two pounds lost each week, you can determine a realistic date. However, make sure you buy pure n-acetyl l-tyrosine nutritional powder in some extra time as a precaution, since you are bound to have days when you lose focus or when your body wont adjust quickly enough.

Get Moving You know this in inevitable. You should be doing cardio about three days per week for thirty minutes. Work your way up to five cardio sessions per week. You should also strength train three times per week for forty-five minutes each session. Work up to this amount of exercise if you have been inactive, such as starting with ten minutes and gradually adding on time each day. Stay active to lose the weight and keep it off permanently.

Eat right- Although a diet can be helpful temporarily, it is more effective to gradually add healthy options into your daily food diet.

Cover all the bases Take a multivitamin and a weight loss supplement as part of your diet and exercise plan. A weight loss pill can give you energy for exercise and other tasks. (When you are trying to lose weight, particularly when on a low-carb or low-fat diet, your available energy may be low.) It can also curb your appetite. However, dont rely only on an energy supplement, it can only be completely effective when taken with proper exercise and dieting. Use only as directed.

Write it All Down Write down your workouts before you start, then jot down how well you did after you are done. Also keep a record of what you eat throughout the day, at what time, and how you felt. This will help you determine if you are eating for emotional reasons or because you are hungry. Keeping a record will help you see your progress, which will motivate you to keep going, or show you what doesnt work for your body so you can change. Be sure to keep your body guessing by rotating your workout exercises, and try new healthy recipes to keep your taste buds satisfied too.
