3. Plank Leg Lifts


Support your body in the high plank position with your hands and feet touching the ground. Your hands should be under your shoulders and your body in a straight line from head to heel. The resistance band should be placed around your ankles. Engage your core and glutes and lift your left heel up against the resistance of the band. Keep your body aligned, don’t round your back. Return to the starting position. Do all repetitions on one side, then switch to the other side.

Are Gut Microbes Responsible for Post-dieting Weight Rebound?

Julien Chilloux

Marc-Emmanuel Dumas



Obesity has reached pandemic proportions, affecting one-third of humanity, causing greater than 3.4 million deaths, and incurring a loss of quality of life and life expectancy (Ng et al., 2014), as it is a major risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The onset of obesity is complex, resulting from the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Much of the clinical effort to treat obesity targets weight loss, which is a direct and measureable outcome. It turns out this is often the easy part of the job—difficulties arise when trying to maintain weight (Hill, 2004). Dieting is a means to an end for people who want to lose weight, yet when they stop dieting, they put more weight on.


With about 10 million genes (Li et al., 2014), the gut microbiome dwarfs the human genome and is now thought to be a major factor contributing to obesity (Ridaura et al., 2013) as it is significantly altered by Western-style high-fat diets (HFDs) (David et al., 2014). However, due to the complex interaction of the diet, the microbiome, and energy expenditure, the identification of causal mediators of weight rebound remains a major unaddressed challenge. In a recent article, Thaiss et al., 2016 demonstrate how the gut microbiome is involved in post-dieting weight rebound through energy expenditure and how supplementing mice with flavonoids overrides this phenomenon, eventually resetting the rebound clock.

Long Distance Air Travel and Weight Gain

 


How Does Airplane Travel Affect the Human Body?


Airplane Travel and Blood Oxygen Saturation


Typically, in-cabin air pressure is equivalent to that seen at 5000 to 8000 ft altitude mountains.

Local hypoxia causes vasodilation (decrease in blood pressure) and increased capillary permeability, as well as increased ventilatory effort and heart rate.


Deep venous thrombosis (DVT)


The risk of DVT is not limited to travel by airplane, and long-distance travelers by car, bus or train are also at risk.



The symptoms of DVT include:


Swelling leg or arm

Pain or tenderness

Warm or red skin

Jet Lag Could Make You Gain Weight, Study Finds

Eran Elinav of the Weizmann Institute of Science told The Telegraph: "These findings provide an explanation for a long-standing and mysterious observation, namely that people with chronically disturbed day-night cycles due to repetitive jet lag or shift work have a tendency to develop obesity and other metabolic complications.


"These surprising findings may enable us to devise preventive treatments for these people to lower their risk for these complications."


Long plane journeys also disrupt our sleep pattern. Previous research has shown lack of sleep can increase hormones that increase a person's appetite - potentially another reason why regular flyers gain extra pounds.

What People Can Do Prevent Weight Gain from Jet Lag

Most people can’t simply stop taking business trips, so they will need to find other ways to combat the effects of jet lag. And no, downing a whole pot of coffee or a bunch of energy drinks is not a good idea. The following are some suggestions to help:


Do your best to sleep on the plane when traveling at night. Cover your eyes with a blindfold or take melatonin to feel sleepy at your normal bedtime.

Do not give in to your increased appetite. Be sure to get enough protein and fiber when you do eat and watch your portions.

Dehydration is common during flights, which can make you feel hungry. Make sure to drink plenty of water while traveling.

Sleep only at night, even if you are tired during the day. When you sleep during the day, you won’t feel tired at night, and that will make it harder on your body to adjust. Wait until it’s nighttime at your destination to go to sleep.
