Can you imagine the workplace as helping you keep fit, after all, we spend hours at our desks, and there are usually plenty of calorie filled snacks machines to keep you from suffering mid afternoon hunger pangs.

Still, an expert from the Mayo Clinic suggests that the office may, in fact, be an unrecognized (and as yet unused) place that can help us all stay fit. Not only can it improve your health but workplace productivity as well.

The "healthy office" approach is what is known as Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT for short) and happens naturally as we use energy for all kinds of things. Expert Dr. James A. Levine of the Mayo Clinic believes NEAT is different from other energy expending processes such as digestion, at rest metabolism and exercise.

For sedentary Americans, the amount of energy burnt off by active exercise (like the kind you get during a gym workout) is "negligible" compared to what's lost via NEAT which accounts for between 15% (for very sedentary people) to almost 50% (for very active people) of the energy spent over the course of a day.

Hormone Balance Before/During/After Menopause

4 months ago

Do these symptoms sound familiar?

Headaches Fatigue Bloating Sore Breasts Depression Stress

Hot Flashes Bones and Joints Sex and Sexuality Self-esteem

This is a collection of PMS and menopause symptoms. Although no one knows exactly if all women have one or more of them, it is theorized that they have an unbalanced or lower than average progesterone levels.*

* In order to understand what some women go through each month, we need to understand what happens during the menstrual cycle. Estrogen is the dominant hormone during the first week after menses.

When ovulation occurs, progesterone levels rise and then dominate over estrogen during the two weeks before menstruation. If there is too much estrogen or not enough progesterone during these two weeks, there is an abnormal exposure to estrogen dominance, which sets the stage for the symptoms that occur.

Also, very few doctors give their patients a complete list of PMS and menopause symptoms. And besides menopause symptoms, there are premenopause symptoms and perimenopause symptoms.

Endocrine System

4 months ago

Your body produces its own chemicals and uses them to control certain body and cell functions. The Endocrine System influences almost every cell, organ, and function of our bodies. It regulates mood, growth and development, tissue function, metabolism, sexual function and reproductive processes. The endocrine system is in charge of body processes such as cell growth.

What Is The Endocrine System?

The foundations of the endocrine system are the hormones and glands. Hormones transfer chemical messages and instructions from one set of cells to another. Many different hormones move through the bloodstream, but each type of hormone is designed to affect only certain cells.

A gland is a group of cells that produces and secretes or gives off chemicals. A gland selects and removes materials from the blood, processes them, and secretes the finished chemical product for use somewhere in the body. Endocrine glands release more than 20 major hormones directly into the bloodstream to cells in other parts of the body.
