Are you one of the thousands upon thousands of people who are 60, 80, or 100 pounds overweight, and have tried diet after diet only to discover they didn’t work?Have you stuck to a diet and lost 10 or 20 pounds only to find that once the diet ended, you gained all your weight back and more?If so, you are definitely not alone. In fact, if you are one of the people who medical experts refer to as obese, chances are that a traditional diet isn’t going to work for you, and certainly the latest ‘fad’ diet isn’t going to work.By focusing on changing your eating habits to include more nutritional and healthy foods, rather than on weight loss and calorie counting, will help you to lose much more weight that any so called “Diet”The Problem With DietsThe main problem with diets is that they are designed for quick short term weight loss. This means that by their very nature they radically cut calories, and in doing so cut many of the vitamins and nutrients your body needs to maintain good health.While this may have little effect on those looking to only lose 5 or 10 pounds, for anyone who tries dieting long-term, they experience unrelenting hunger pangs, food cravings, and even begin to feel weak and more unhealthy than ever before. In addition, many of these diets end up robbing you of energy and make you feel depressed.And all of this leads to quitting the diet, possibly gaining even more weight back, while feeling that you have failed once again.Don’t Focus On Weight Loss Focus On Eating HealthyRather than focusing on weight loss, start focusing on eating more nutritional and healthy foods. By shifting your focus you are improving your overall health, while ‘shedding’ those pounds for good. Eating more nutritionally isn’t a diet, it is a lifestyle change that not only helps you lose weight, but makes you feel and look better from the inside out.Start By Learning All You Can About NutritionMost of us think that we know all about good nutrition, but in fact we really know little at all. For example, most people believe that low fat food is better for you than their fattier counterparts. Why? Because this is what we have been told.However, low fat food is often worse for you than the full fat versions. Take a look at the label on whole milk, or cheese, and then compare the low fat versions of these products.The low fat version may contain less fat, but they are extremely high in sodium that not only adds water weight, but causes a variety of health problems as well – and the processed low fat food products are notorious for replacing some of the fat with high fructose corn syrup so they can be called ‘low fat’ and ‘sugar free’.Additionally, you also need to learn how to prepare foods so they keep more of their nutritional value. Fresh raw fruits and vegetables are more healthy than cooked, and micro-waving robs almost all foods of their nutrients. Once you have learned more about nutrition, you can then also look for foods that are considered to be fat burning or anti-inflammatory, as well as nutritional.Why You Lose Weight With Nutritionally Sound FoodsOne of the reasons you lose weight when eating nutritionally sound foods is because many of these foods are naturally lower in calories. This means that you can actually eat more actual food and still consume less calories.And this is especially the case when comparing to foods like pasta, bread, cereal, and other high calorie processed foods that are often full of sugar – none of these are nutrient rich and healthy, and you can’t lose weight with ‘nutritionally empty’ foods.When you eat nutrient dense foods, you are also giving your body what it needs to function properly. This results in feeling more sated, so you are less hungry and have fewer cravings for your problem foods. And all of this results in eating less.Eating foods that are high in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients can help you feel better overall. When you feel healthier you have more natural energy – which makes it easy for you to increase your activity levels, which helps to burn off even more calories that results in more weight loss. And the beat goes on!Best of all you,can begin making small changes in your diet to include more nutritional foods, and then add more and more of these foods as you go along. This will give your body time to adjust to your new way of eating, while allowing you to change your diet in a manner that doesn’t send your body into shock and starvation mode.And whatever you do, don’t try to lose weight by fasting or eating ridiculously low amounts of calories. Each small healthy change you make, will result in more weight loss, and you can consistently meet your weight loss goals in a way that is healthy and will enable you to keep the weight off.

Archaeologists have used teeth since long to reveal information related to lifestyle, cause of death, and ancient civilizations. However, a recent study reported by the Daily Mail suggested that teeth can also give us information about the future. Researchers have found that teeth can predict the susceptibility to mental health disorders like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression, in children.The lost milk teeth of six-year-olds were scrutinized and it was found that children with thin enamel might be at the risk of developing attention deficient issues. Lead author, Dr. Erin Dunn, a psychiatrist at the Massachusetts General Hospital, said that while a discovery like this could be commonplace for archaeologists, it is extraordinary in psychiatry as it opens the gate to an entirely new outlook for screening mental health disorders, which are on the rise.Differences in dimension and teeth quality better predictors of mental healthDr. Dunn stated that it was something they had never seen or thought of before. Her team comprised anthropologists, public health practitioners, and archaeologists and she presented her work at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAs) in Washington.The researchers asked 37 parents from California to donate the teeth of their 6-year-olds when they fell off. Each tooth was examined using high resolution imaging. This analysis was later extrapolated to study the behavior of kids. Compared to other biomarkers that a psychiatrist would look for usually, teeth quality and differences in dimension were found to be better predictors of mental health.Scientists across fields need to work togetherDr. Dunn shared that it was important that scientists across fields worked together as it would add more dimensions to a research. She added that scientists usually had a tendency to get isolated and worked with people from the same field. For example, psychiatrists worked only with psychiatrists and psychologists worked only with psychologists. People generally refrained from moving across disciplines or exploring other related facets in a research.Dr. Dunn stated that this study is a proof of the fact that there is a need for more interdisciplinary science and how more efforts can provide one with the opportunities to view things from different angles which might be completely unexpected.Warning signs of a mental illness in adolescents and teensSometimes, it can be really difficult to tell if a child or teen’s behavior is a normal part of growing up or something else. If the symptoms lasts for weeks or months, it warrants a visit to a healthcare professional. Some of the warning signs of a mental illness are:

Feeling extremely anxious and worried all the time

Throwing tantrums and getting irritable

Having frequent headaches, stomachaches and other unexplained aches

Trouble sleeping with frequent nightmares

Low or no energy

Avoiding friends

Smoking, drinking or using drugs

Engaging in self-harm and other risky behaviors

Losing interest in things used to enjoy previously

Having trouble doing well in school or sports

Road to recoveryGood mental health is important for the overall well-being of children as well as teens, as these are their growing years and they shape the future personality of the child. For many adults experiencing mental health problems, the symptoms were present when they were growing up but were undiagnosed or ignored. It is therefore, important that a mental health disorder is detected early and receives timely diagnosis.
