Ensure that you obtain all types of medical documentation that may validate the fact that weight loss surgery is considered to be a necessity for you. Since this type of operation is an important treatment for potentially dangerous health complications such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. The documentation help validate this fact is essential, more so when dealing with insurance companies.

The individual has to directly consult a medical physician. The discussion will ensure that they get to know about the pros, cons, expectations after the surgery and any related damages that may occur in the case the surgical process is not undertaken. No miracle cure exists for obesity. Medical care is the appropriate way to deal with the disease. Also having a good eating habit and lifestyle helps. Counselling, education, willpower and support are of great assistance in accomplishing this. The last resort will always be surgical operation. The war on obesity in New York can be won, but victory will require hard work and courage on the part of the individuals.

By Frank Brown

In any case, this would all make one end up losing strength even during the times that he would need his strength the most. So if one would want to avoid taking too much coffee or Red Bull drinks, then here are some herbs for energy that are very effective.

Now one of the most common of all herbs would be none other than the legendary ginseng. It is actually one of the most popular of all herbal medicines as it has a lot of properties that can actually give people a sudden jolt of strength. Its essence is actually widely manufactured and used in most energy drinks nowadays.

Now second on the list would be its equally popular but not mass produced sibling which is known as gingko. Now gingko is a kind of herb that is known to produce a lot of ATP in the body. Now for those who do not know what ATP is, it is a chemical that would give the brain the order to process more glucose in the body which of course in turn will give a person more strength and adrenaline.

Now for those who have a job that requires a lot of physical movement, then one of the most recommended herbs to take would be cordyceps. Now what makes cordyceps very interesting and very unique is that it increases stamina a lot. So if one is an athlete, he can actually take this herb because it can help him have a lot of endurance especially when he is in a competition.

Now a not so popular herb is known as ashwagandha which is quite an uncommon one but also very effective. Now basically what it does is that it would actually help lower the fatigue level of a person so that one can have more strength and can stay awake. The principle behind the effectiveness of this is that if it takes away the root problem of tiredness which is stress, then the whole problem will go away.

Now another really good herb that can be used to make tea would be the nettle which is extremely effective but has no side effects. Now the reason behind that is nettles are chock full of vitamins and minerals which would of course help the body. To make it, one just needs to put some nettles into boiling water and leave it overnight.

Last on the list would be none other than the Reishi mushroom which is a very rare herb used by Chinese doctors for many years. It is known as the elixir of life because it can give a lot of energy in just a short span of time. Not only does it do that but it can also boost the immune system of a person by tenfold.

So basically, those are some great herbs that one can take whenever he is feeling tired. The great thing about them is that they are all natural and have no negative side effects. There is also no overdose which means one can take a lot without worrying.

New York Is The Place To Hire Qualified Bariatric Doctors

By Carl Green


Medicine is a wide discipline that has several subcategories, which are dedicated to the study of various medical conditions, disorders, and diseases that people suffer from. The branch of medicine that deals with the study of causes, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of obesity in people is called bariatrics. The medical practitioners who specialize in this branch of medicine are called bariatric physicians or bariatricians. The two terms are used interchangeably. New York is one of the states that have many highly qualified bariatric doctors.

The coining of the term bariatrics happened around 1965. It has its origin from the Greek language. The translation from the Greek language gives the meaning, pertaining to the treatment of weight in the English language. Various approaches to weight loss including behavioral therapy, exercise, and dieting are encompassed in this field. The term also bears other meanings in the medicine profession.

Globally, especially in developed economies, there is a rising medical concern resulting from overweight and obesity. It has been approximated by the CDC in the US that the adult population is obese up to a third or more of the people. With the current trend, approximation show that 44 percent of the population in all states will be obese by 2030. Therefore, more batricians are needed. One is considered to be obese if their body mass index also abbreviated as BMI is above 30.

People whose BMI value of greater than 30 are at a higher risk of developing certain medical conditions. Such medical conditions include obstructive sleep apnea, chronic musculoskeletal problems, asthma, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, and various kinds of cancer. Obese people need the help of bariatricians because they are mostly incapable of losing weight on their own.

Treatment of obesity can be done using many different methods. First-line treatments usually include behavior therapy, anti-obesity drugs, exercise, and diet. These methods are not very effective and are known to have very limited success in the short-term while long-term success is outright poor. That leaves weight loss surgery as the main alternative left. Surgery has been determined to be relatively more effective than conventional treatment methods in both the short and long-term.

There are a lot of academic qualifications that need to be attained for one to become a bariatrician. A good starting point is graduating with an MD from an accredited school of medicine. Courses in medicine conclude with supervised clinical rotations for two years. Residency program comes afterward. Most residency programs take 3-7 years.

One cannot practice without being licensed. Licensure comes after medical school and residency program. There is a licensing exam that all practitioners who wish to practice in the US must take and pass. Being licensed then opens the door for board certification in obesity medicine. One must again take and pass a board exam. The board administers a workshop and a certification review course to help candidates with preparation.

Opportunities are available for one to further their qualification. Accreditation is also provided by various professional organizations to members. This field is relatively young and very dynamic. As such, practitioners need to stay abreast with new changes and inventions.
