Basal Metabolic Rate 1.0
Basal Metabolic Rate Ebook lets you learn more about the factors that affects the BMR more>>
Lets look at some factors that affect BMR:
- Age: In youth, the BMR is higher; age brings less lean mass and slows the BMR.
- Height: Tall, thin people have higher BMRs.
- Growth: Children and pregnant women have higher BMRs.
- Body Composition: The more lean tissue, the higher the BMR.
The more fat tissue, the lower the BMR.
- Fever: Fevers can raise the BMR.
- Stress: Stress hormones can raise the BMR.
- Environmental Temperature: Both the heat and cold raise the BMR.
- Fasting/Starvation: Fasting/starvation hormones lower the BMR.
- Malnutrition: Malnutrition lowers the BMR.
- Thyroxin: The thyroid hormone thyroxin is a key BMR regulator; the more thyroxin produced, the higher the BMR.
MetaCalc 1.0
metabolic rate calculator more>> Use this program to estimate your metabolic rate and the recommended calorie intake according to your height, weight and age. Also taking into account how active you are and if you are male or female.
You can input your information using metric or the US system of measurement (inches and pounds).
The program has an online help available and a special resource list to take your efforts further.
Calculations are based on Equations based on BMR. A much more accurate method for calculating TDEE is to determine basal metabolic rate (BMR) using multiple factors, including height, weight, age and sex, then multiply the BMR by an activity factor to determine TDEE. BMR is the total number of calories your body requires for normal bodily functions (excluding activity factors). This includes keeping your heart beating, inhaling and exhaling air, digesting food, making new blood cells, maintaining your body temperature and every other metabolic process in your body. In other words, your BMR is all the energy used for the basic processes of life itself.
BMR usually accounts for about two-thirds of total daily energy expenditure. BMR may vary dramatically from person to person depending on genetic factors. If you know someone who claims they can eat anything they want and never gain an ounce of fat, they have inherited a naturally high BMR. BMR is at its lowest when you are sleeping undisturbed and you are not digesting anything. It is very important to note that the higher your lean body mass is, the higher your BMR will be. This is very significant if you want to lose body fat because it means that the more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn. Muscle is metabolically active tissue, and it requires a great deal of energy just to sustain it.<<less

Who should use HealthWatch?
HealthWatch is designed for personal and family, while HealthWatch Pro is for health professionals in clinical and research settings. Parents can use this free software as a baby growth chart or child growth chart to watch their children in what growth percentile. HealthWatch can also be used as a free BMI calculator. However, unlike other BMI calculators, HealthWatch provides a graph for you to chart your health statistics over time. Furthermore, HealthWatch can be used to identify metabolic syndrome. Do you know that the metabolic syndrome has become increasingly common in the United States? It is estimated that about 47 million U.S. adults have it. The underlying causes of this syndrome are over weight/obesity, physical inactivity and genetic factors. People with the metabolic syndrome are at increased risk of coronary heart disease. This risk can be reduced if symptoms are identified early and factors contributing to coronary heart disease are altered. HealthWatch can also calculate the risk for having a heart attack and tell you how to prevent heart attack.

Linoleic Acid 1.0
Linoleic Acid - a full featured information about how to maintain a good health more>>
Conjugated linoleic acid has been shown in numerous studies to be a strong
cancer fighting agent, and also to aid in the reduction of fat in obese people.
Conjugated linoleic acid has also been linked to increasing insulin levels
in diabetics, increasing metabolic rate, lowering cholesterol, reducing food allergies and aiding the immune system. It seems that nearly every month a new study is released, showing yet another positive effect of conjugated linoleic acid, leading many to label it a wonder-drug.
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is found naturally in eggs, and dairy products
such as cheese, milk, and yogurt, that have undergone heat processing
treatments. CLA is produced from linoleic acid in sunflower oil. CLA was originally found in milk fat where it exists in the form of phospholipids and triglycerides. There is evidence that human milk contains CLA.
Conjugated linoleic acid supplements are available in most health-food stores
or wherever dietary supplements are sold. Most tests recommend a daily dosage of 3400mg of conjugated linoleic acid to assist in the reduction of body fat and growth of muscle.
Linoleic Acid application is a simple ebook that was designed to give you a full featured information about how to maintain a good health.

Weight loss supplements may work in three ways: one is by helping the body to break down body fat.
This involves releasing it from fat cells, where it enters the bloodstream as free fatty acids that are then transported to muscle cells, where they may be burned.
The second action of weight loss supplements is to suppress appetite, which is a complex process. Many hormones and neurotransmitters are involved. We don't have all the answers in this area, but research continues. The human body's instinct is to survive, and once appetite suppressants are stopped, people become hungry.
The third way weight loss supplements may work is by inhibiting the body from absorbing fat during digestion. Fat blockers don't work if a person isn't eating fat in his or her diet. They also won't prevent weight gain if a person is overeating protein or carbohydrates.
The negative side effects of these supplements include stomach discomfort, diarrhea, and inability to absorb many important fat-soluble vitamins and other nutrients. In addition, they may interfere with the effectiveness of certain medications, especially birth control pills and estrogen.
Often, weight loss supplements contain more than one substance to generate weight loss from more than one angle. The ingredients are available alone, or with other substances.
Major Features: The following is a partial listing of some of the weight loss supplements:
- Carnitine: Promoted as a fat burner, carnitine naturally occurs in the body, and people can obtain it through eating dairy foods. Carnitine helps transport fatty acids to the muscle. In theory, it makes sense that more of it would help people get more fatty acids into the muscles, burning additional fat. Unfortunately, it doesn't live up to expectations, because taking it's supplemental form doesn't result in increased fat burning.
- Chromium Picolinate: Although this mineral helps metabolize carbohydrates and fats, it has not lived up to claims of increasing lean body mass and decreasing fat. As a matter of fact, the majority of the research done on this supplement shows it is not effective as a weight loss supplement.
- Some research showed damage to DNA with excess chromium picolinate that is exacerbated with Vitamin C. Taking in more than the body requires can actually reduce the binding capacity of iron in the blood, potentially resulting in iron deficiency and decreased ability to carry oxygen in the blood. This could negatively impact one's ability to exercise and expend calories.
- Ephedrine: This is probably the most popular substance in fat-burners on the market today. It acts like a hormone the body makes norepinephrine. The action of this substance is associated with increased fat release from adipose (or fat) tissue, increasing free fatty acids in the bloodstream. Also increased are heart rate, heart contractility, body heat production, and metabolic rate. Ephedrine may also be able to suppress hunger.
- Studies have demonstrated that dieters were able to lose slightly more weight when taking ephedrine vs. placebos but not nearly the amounts referenced in TV and magazine ads. It has been shown that ephedrine is even more effective when combined with caffeine but so are the side effects, including tremors, dizziness, insomnia, heart arrhythmias, headaches, and increased blood pressure.
- Anyone with high blood pressure, heart disease, or diabetes, and pregnant women need to avoid this supplement. Although ephedrine may help some people lose an extra few pounds, it doesn't seem worth the risk.

BMR Health Calculator 1.0
Calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and total daily energy expenditure more>> Basal Metabolic Rate is the minimal caloric requirement needed to sustain life in a resting individual. Therefore your Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories youd burn if you slept all day.
Activity Multiplier
Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 (little or no exercise, desk job)
Lightly active = BMR X 1.375 (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk)
Mod. active = BMR X 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk)
Very active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk)
Extr. active = BMR X 1.9 (hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2X day training, i.e marathon, contest etc.)
Now that you know your BMR and TDEE, should you decide to lose, gain or maintain your current weight, you just have to adjust your calorie intake accordingly. To find out more about the calories in food, and work out what you can or should not eat, please feel free to refer to some of the articles below.<<less

Calculation of Body Surface Area 1.4
Calculation of the Surface Area of the Body and Body Mass Index. more>>
Calculation of Body Surface Area 1.4 offers you the measured or calculated surface of a human body in physiology and medicine. For many clinical purposes BSA is a better indicator of metabolic mass than body weight because it is less affected by abnormal adipose mass. Estimation of BSA is simpler than many measures of volume. BSAcalc is the freeware program for the calculation of the Surface Area of the Body.
The distinctive feature of BSAcalc is that it has a large selection of formulas for the calculation. These latest updates to the BSAcalc include calculation the Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is a simple index of weight-for-height that is commonly used to classify underweight, overweight and obesity in adults.
BMI is defined as the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters (kg/m2). BMI has been used by the World Health Organization as the standard for recording obesity statistics since the early 1980s. BMI is an inexpensive and easy-to-perform method of screening for weight categories that may lead to health problems. Simple convenient user interface.
