83. Adolescent Medicine - Obesity obesity. What is obesity? Research studies suggest that overweight adolescents may become overweight adults. What causes obesity? http://uuhsc.utah.edu/healthinfo/pediatric/adolescent/obesity.htm

Obesity What is obesity? Obesity is defined as a generalized accumulation of body fat. Obesity is determined by measuring both the height and weight of the adolescent. An adolescent is considered obese if he/she is significantly over the ideal weight for his/her height. Overweight is defined as increased body size with increased lean body mass and without excess accumulation of body fat. A uniform standard to separate obesity from overweight has not been established. Research studies suggest that overweight adolescents may become overweight adults. What causes obesity? During the 1990s, one physiologist proposed a "set point theory" which has continued to gain support. The set point theory suggests that weight is determined by complex interactions of neural, hormonal, and metabolic factors. Genetic and familial influences contribute to metabolic rates and physical activity levels important to energy expenditure. Some effort is now being made to address two types of obesity: obesity with specific organic etiology (endogenous) obesity caused by simple excessive caloric intake, genetic/familial, psychogenic and mixed factors (exogenous)

Fight Obesity and Depression Secret Legend: Rhodiola Rosea—Arctic Root. Fight Obesity and Depression Rhodiola rosea or Golden root a highly prized herb from the polar arctic region is ready to make its mark on the new world. Emperors of China used to organize expeditions to Siberia to bring back this highly valued plant. In Siberia it's said, "people who take rhodiola will live beyond 100 years." If there is a perfect weight loss/stress relieving herb this could be it. In Rhosavin 100™ we've managed to encapsulate the two essential elements needed by most people to lose weight and truly feel great. Not only does it have the ability to lift the stress that causes your body to crave foods of comfort and store more fat. It also has the power in and of itself to make make you lose weight. In a study of 128 individuals of all ages with various forms of depression who were given Rhodiola rosea, the main ingredient in Rhosavin 100™ all test subjects showed positive therapeutic effects. And, 65% had complete disappearance of their depression. It is thought to work by making serotonin's precursors, tryptophan and 5-HTP, more available to the brain and by increasing the amount of serotonin in the brain (needed by people on low carb diets). In a separate placebo controlled study involving 130 overweight patients over 90 days at the Georgian State Hospital (in the former Soviet Union), of those who consumed rhodiola rosea, 92% lost a remarkable average of 20 pounds while a placebo group on the same diet lost just 7 pounds. This difference is presumably due to Rhosavin 100™’s ability to activate adipose lipase, a key enzyme required to burn the body’s fat stores. Other benefits of this amazing herb include it's ability to:
