Can Lexapro cause weight changes?
https://ift.tt/2mhc81e In this article, we look at how Lexapro can affect appetite and weight. We also provide some tips on how to cope with any changes in weight that may occur as a result of taking this antidepressant. Taking Lexapro
Doctors prescribe Lexapro for depression and anxiety.
Doctors may prescribe Lexapro for the treatment of mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety. Lexapro is one of a group of medications known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). SSRIs work by increasing the amount of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a chemical that helps to regulate a person's mood. Lexapro comes in the form of either a liquid or pills. The recommended dose is usually 10 milligrams (mg), which people should take once a day in the morning or the evening. The medication usually takes 4–6 weeks to work, and a person may need to take it for months or years. Lexapro is safe to take over an extended period. Many experts believe that this type of medication is less likely than older antidepressants to cause weight gain. Older forms of antidepressant medication include monoamine oxidase inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants. How does Lexapro affect appetite and weight?
Lexapro boosts serotonin levels, which may lead to weight gain.
A person may gain some weight when taking Lexapro. This can happen for different reasons. Lexapro boosts serotonin, which plays a role in controlling weight. The medication may increase appetite directly, or a person may begin to eat more as their depression or anxiety lessens. Weight loss is a less common side effect, but it can happen as the body adjusts to the medication. Some people may also find that they have more energy or more desire to exercise as the medication relieves their depression. This symptom relief could also put a stop to unhealthy patterns of behavior, such as binge eating, which could lead to some weight loss. The United States National Library of Medicine include increased appetite as one of the recognized side effects of Lexapro. Having a larger appetite usually results in a person eating more, which can lead to weight gain. However, some people taking Lexapro will experience none or only some of the side effects linked to this medication. Depression and anxiety can both affect a person's eating habits. They can cause someone to have less of an appetite, take less pleasure in food, or feel anxious about eating. As people receive treatment for their depression or anxiety, these symptoms should lessen or go away. This can increase a person's enjoyment of food, or reduce any anxiety relating to eating. A 2014 study in New England looked at weight changes over a 12-month period in people taking a range of antidepressants, including Lexapro. The researchers used citalopram as the reference drug for comparison. All of the SSRIs in the study caused a gradual increase in weight. The only SSRI to cause some initial weight loss before weight gain was fluoxetine. The average weight gain for Lexapro was less than 0.5 percent. The most significant weight gain occurred in young men and those who had a low body mass index (BMI) before starting treatment. Research in 2017 looked at the role that SSRIs play in weight gain and found that specific risk factors increased the likelihood of a person gaining weight when taking these antidepressants. These factors included:
A 2011 study directly compared Lexapro with nortriptyline, which is an older tricyclic antidepressant. The authors found that Lexapro was the less likely of the two drugs to cause weight gain. It is not completely clear why taking SSRIs such as Lexapro can lead to weight gain. More research is necessary to provide a definite answer. How to cope with weight change from taking LexaproMedication affects everyone differently. People who experience dramatic weight loss or gain may wish to seek medical advice. It is often possible for a physician to prescribe an alternative antidepressant. Alongside medication, exercise can be an essential part of treatment. As well as helping a person to avoid weight gain, it can improve sleep and reduce stress and anxiety. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that adults do at least 2.5 hours of exercise every week. People can break this down into smaller chunks to fit it into their everyday routine. Eating well is key to preventing changes in body weight. A healthful diet includes whole grains, fruits, vegetables, some dairy, and protein. Eating healthful snacks and not skipping meals can help a person to maintain a good level of energy throughout the day. Other side effects of Lexapro
Nausea and dizziness are common side effects of taking Lexapro.
Lexapro can cause other side effects, which may include:
If these side effects do not go away or are very severe, a person should seek medical advice. Some side effects, including the following, can be serious and require urgent medical attention:
All SSRIs have a slightly different range of side effects. If the side effects of an antidepressant are affecting a person's quality of life, they might benefit from trying an alternative drug to see if it causes them fewer side effects. TakeawayWeight changes are one possible side effect of Lexapro. People whose weight remains within a healthy range may feel willing to accept this change if it is preferable to the feelings of anxiety or depression they experience without the medication. However, weight gain or loss can sometimes cause health problems, and it can also affect a person's self-esteem or well-being. In such cases, a person may wish to seek advice from a doctor or try an alternative medication. A healthful diet and regular exercise are a vital part of the recovery from mood disorders. They can also help to prevent weight changes as the body adjusts to the medication.

Type 2 diabetes, obesity may soon be reversed with gene therapy
https://ift.tt/2mgVhM9
Small alterations to our genes could soon reverse metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes in humans.
The prevalence of diabetes, or the total number of existing cases, is on the rise in the United States and globally. According to recent estimates, over 30 million U.S. adults had diabetes in 2015. Although the number has been relatively steady in the past few years, rates of newly diagnosed cases among children and teenagers haveincreased sharply. And, worldwide, the situation is even more alarming; the number of people with diabetes almost quadrupled between 1980 and 2014, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Now, new research brings much-needed hope of curing this metabolic disorder. Scientists led by Fatima Bosch, a professor at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) in Catalunya, Spain, have successfully reversed the disorder in rodents. Prof. Bosch and her colleagues achieved this using gene therapy, a technique that introduces new genetic material into cells to create beneficial proteins or to offset the effects of malfunctioning genes. The findings were published in the journal EMBO Molecular Medicine. Using the FGF21 gene to reverse diabetesProf. Bosch and team designed two mouse models of obesity and type 2 diabetes. One was diet-induced, and the other one was genetically modified. Using an adeno-associated viral vector as "transport," the team delivered the fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) gene. This gene is responsible for encoding the FGF21 protein, which is seen as a "major metabolic regulator" that stimulates the absorption of blood sugar in adipose tissue. By delivering this gene, the researchers stimulated the production of the protein, which caused the rodents to lose weight and lowered their insulin resistance — a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Additionally, the mice lost weight and the treatment reduced the fat and inflammation in their adipose tissue. The fat content, inflammation, and fibrosis of the rodents' livers were completely reversed, with no side effects. In turn, these improvements increased insulin sensitivity. These beneficial effects were noted in both murine models. Also, the team found that administering FGF21 to healthy mice prevented age-related weight gain and led to healthy aging. Gene therapy was used to alter three tissue types: liver tissue, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle. "This gives a great flexibility to the therapy," explains Prof. Bosch, "since it allows [us] to select each time the most appropriate tissue, and in case some complication prevents manipulating any of the tissues, it can be applied to any of the others." "When a tissue produces FGF21 protein and secretes it into the bloodstream, it will be distributed throughout the body," adds Prof. Bosch. First reversion of obesity, insulin resistanceStudy co-author and UAB researcher Claudia Jambrina explains that their findings are particularly significant given that "the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and obesity is growing at alarming rates around the world." The team also says that delivering FGF21 as a conventional drug would not yield the same benefits as gene therapy; firstly, the drug would have to be administered periodically for long-term benefits, and secondly, its toxicity would be high. Using gene therapy, however, is free of side effects, and a single administration is enough to make the mice produce the protein naturally for several years.
"The results demonstrate that it is a safe and effective therapy," she adds. The next steps will be to "test this therapy in larger animals before moving to clinical trials with patients," notes Prof. Bosch. "[T]he therapy described in this study," she concludes, "constitutes the basis for the future clinical translation of FGF21 gene transfer to treat type 2 diabetes, obesity, and related comorbidities."

Lena Dunham Gained 24 Pounds—and Is Happier Than Ever
https://ift.tt/2N0ZgYr Before-and-after posts are nothing new in the age of Instagram. But the always-candid Lena Dunham just showed us a celebrity’s perspective of how images that spotlight weight loss and gain usually don't convey the whole story. On Tuesday, the Girls creator and actress made a side-by-side collage with two photos: one of herself at 138 pounds and another that was taken more recently, when she weighed in at 162 pounds. RELATED: 5 Signs You're Getting Fitter, Even if the Scale Hasn't Budged Then she described how her each different weight affected her on a day-to-day basis. “On the left: 138 pounds, complimented all day and propositioned by men and on the cover of a tabloid about diets that work,” she said, admitting, “Also, sick in the tissue and in the head and subsisting only on small amounts of sugar, tons of caffeine and a purse pharmacy.” Dunham’s weight has made headlines for years. In this new post, she's taking the focus off what the scale says and putting it on something a lot more important: her happiness. “On the right: 162 pounds, happy joyous & free, complimented only by people that matter for reasons that matter, subsisting on a steady flow of fun/healthy snacks and apps and entrees, strong from lifting dogs and spirits,” she wrote, detailing the newer photo. RELATED: 9 Before-and-After Photos That Show Weight Is Just a Number Though she's known for embracing her body no matter what she weighs, Dunham said she's also been susceptible to body image issues. “Even this OG body positivity warrior sometimes looks at the left picture longingly, until I remember the impossible pain that brought me there and onto my proverbial knees," she said. "As I type I can feel my back fat rolling up under my shoulder blades. I lean in.” From bearing it all on camera to detailing her harrowing ordeal undergoing a hysterectomy brought on by her painful battle with endometriosis, we can count on Dunham to share her vulnerabilities. Before-and-after weight loss photos are often celebrated, but these explore the not-so-healthy side of achieving what some call their “goal weight.” The goal here should be a happy, full life—not one filled with restrictions.

This Woman Lost 100 Pounds—But Still Struggled to Accept Her Stretch Marks and Loose Skin
https://ift.tt/2N5tPfI Weight loss can sometimes come with a loss of confidence. That's what happened to Sarah Nicole, a 33-year-old influencer based in Canada—who on Sunday shared a powerful message about finally learning to love and honor what she called her “imperfectly perfect” body. After having three kids, Nicole lost 100 pounds. It was a major win for her health, yet she continued to struggle with her body image. Yet instead of bashing her shape, she took to Instagram and posted a photo of herself in a sports bra and underwear, her hand over her stomach. In the caption, she wrote about accepting the body she's in and all that it's done to make her the woman she is today. RELATED: These Real Women Showed Their Excess Skin to Make an Important Point About Weight Loss “Stop worrying so much about not looking like you’re a brand new and shiny human,” she wrote. “Because you’re not. You’ve lived. Loved. Experienced. Your body in its own way will show itself through those memories.” Though many of her posts on @thebirdspapaya are flawless photos taken with her family and friends, she tells Health that it was important to share this particular message of self-love. “I found myself faced with so much self-loathing and worked my way through that and realized I had worth,” she says. “Even amid the scars and stretch marks, I still had beauty. I knew that if I felt this way, others must too. So I decided to be vulnerable and put it out into the world to share.” This wasn’t her first candid body positivity post. Last month, she shared a similar image of her stomach with another inspiring caption. “These are not marks of weakness, but of strength,” she wrote in that post, referring to her stretch marks. “You don’t have to love them, because that’s a pretty hard ask. But don’t for a second allow them to make you feel like less.” Weight Loss via Weight Loss - Health.com https://ift.tt/2zvXHy6 July 9, 2018 at 05:26PM
A savory starter could help you to make better food choices
https://ift.tt/2MXfkuf
Researchers look at how umami foods may influence our eating choices.
Umami, or savory taste, was first identified as an independent basic taste by Japanese chemist Kikunae Ikeda in 1908. Since then, it came to be accepted as the fifth taste, which we perceive thanks to glutamic acid, which is an amino acid that occurs naturally in many foods. A common source of glutamic acid — often used to make certain foods taste more savory — is monosodium glutamate (MSG). MSG's role in health has been subject to intense debates over the years. Recently, researchers at Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA, decided to investigate whether umami foods could influence the brain to make more healthful choices when it comes to eating. They built on previous studies suggesting that having an MSG-supplemented broth before a meal could decrease appetite — particularly in women at risk of overeating and weight gain. "Previous research in humans studied the effects of umami broths on appetite, which is typically assessed with subjective measures," explains senior study author Dr. Miguel Alonso-Alonso.
The results of the new study have been published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology. Boosted inhibitory controlThe team worked with healthy young women to understand how added MSG might influence the brain to make different dietary choices. During a buffet meal, the participants were first asked to have a serving (240 milliliters) of chicken broth. The difference was that, for some, the broth was enriched with MSG (1.44 grams), whereas some had regular broth without MSG. The scientists then evaluated how well each participant was able to control their eating behavior and measured brain activity as the women decided what they wanted to eat next. In order to do this, the scientists asked the participants to complete a computer test assessing their inhibitory control, as well as to wear portable eye-tracking (which recorded eye movement) during the buffet meal. Additionally, the women's brains were scanned to track activity as they were choosing their meals. Those who had consumed the umami broth had better inhibitory control, their gazes were more focused during the meal, and they had more activity in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is a brain region associated with self-control during eating. The scientists also saw that, among the cohort who had the MSG-enriched broth, the participants at a higher risk of obesity actually opted for foods with less saturated fat throughout their meals. "Many cultures around the world advocate drinking a broth before a meal," says Dr. Alonso-Alonso, and, he adds, "[the new] study suggests the possibility that people at high risk of obesity could benefit from an umami-rich broth before a meal to facilitate healthy eating and healthy food choice." Nevertheless, the study authors caution that their new findings would benefit from being supported by further research, analyzing the effects of umami foods on the brain in more detail. "[H]ere we only evaluated immediate effects and in a laboratory context," Dr. Alonso-Alonso claims. "Future research," he continues, "should address whether these observed changes can accumulate and affect food intake over time and/or whether they can be leveraged to help people lose weight more successfully."

'Skinny fat' linked to cognitive decline, study warns
https://ift.tt/2zcyBpv
Sarcopenic obesity may exacerbate the risk of cognitive decline later in life, warn researchers.
A recent study — the results of which have been published in the journal Clinical Interventions in Aging — has found that sarcopenia and obesity (independently, but especially when occurring together) can heighten the risk of cognitive function impairments later in life. The research was conducted by scientists at the Comprehensive Center for Brain Health at the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. "Sarcopenia," explains senior study author Dr. James Galvin, "has been linked to global cognitive impairment and dysfunction in specific cognitive skills including memory, speed, and executive functions."
"They may benefit from programs addressing loss of cognitive function by maintaining and improving strength and preventing obesity," he adds. Beware sarcopenic obesityThe scientists analyzed health-related data collected from 353 participants — aged 69, on average — all of whom registered to take part in community-based studies on aging and memory. To establish whether or not there was a link between sarcopenic obesity — that is, the presence of excess body fat in conjunction with muscle mass loss — and cognitive decline, the team assessed participants' performance on tests evaluating cognitive function, including the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and animal-naming exercises. Also, the participants' muscle strength and mass were evaluated through grip strength tests and chair stands, and they also underwent body compositions assessments, which looked at muscle mass, body mass index (BMI), and the amount of body fat. The researchers discovered that the participants with sarcopenic obesity had the poorest performance on cognition-related tests. The next poorest performance on cognition tests was seen in people with sarcopenia alone, followed by participants who only had obesity. Both when occurring independently and when occurring in concert, obesity and loss of muscle mass were linked with impaired working memory — which is the type of memory we use when making spontaneous decisions on a daily basis — as well as less mental flexibility, poorer orientation, and worse self-control. Keep changes in body composition in checkThe scientists explain that obesity could exacerbate the risk of cognitive decline through biological mechanisms that influence vascular health, metabolism, and inflammation. Moreover, they warn that in people who already face impaired executive functioning, obesity might also impact energy resources through poor self-control that affects nutrition. As for sarcopenia, the researchers note that it could influence brain mechanisms related to conflict resolution skills and selective attention. Based on the study's findings, Dr. Galvin and his colleagues are particularly concerned that a mix of sarcopenia and excess body fat in older adults could become a serious public health issue, so they believe that any significant changes in body mass composition should be closely monitored to prevent negative health outcomes. "Sarcopenia either alone or in the presence of obesity, can be used in clinical practice to estimate potential risk of cognitive impairment," notes study co-author Magdalena Tolea. But such health issues can be kept under control, and the risks associated with them averted, she suggests. "Testing grip strength by dynamometry can be easily administered within the time constraints of a clinic visit, and body mass index is usually collected as part of annual wellness visits," concludes Tolea.

What are the signs of having a girl?
https://ift.tt/2KuVWI4 Friends and family may point out signs of having a girl or boy, but most of these will probably be based on folklore rather than science. An ultrasound at 20 weeks into the pregnancy is the most reliable way to tell a baby's sex. This article discusses some of the traditionally held signs that someone is having a girl, as well as whether they have any scientific evidence to support them. Eight signs of having a girlWe look at the science behind eight traditional signs of having a girl: 1. Severe morning sickness
Severe morning sickness may be a sign of having a girl.
Some people think that severe morning sickness is a sign of having a girl. In fact, recent research suggests that feeling ill during pregnancy may be linked to the baby's sex. A 2017 study found that women carrying girls experienced more inflammation when their immune systems were exposed to bacteria compared to those carrying boys. This difference may impact the way women carrying girls experience morning sickness. They may feel more unwell than those carrying boys. More research is needed to fully understand if there is a link between morning sickness and a baby's sex. 2. Extreme mood swingsHormonal changes during pregnancy can often cause mood swings. Some people think that women carrying girls have higher levels of estrogen and are moodier as a result. Research does not support this theory, however. Hormone levels rise during pregnancy and fall after giving birth regardless of whether the baby is male or female. 3. Weight gain around the middleIf a woman gains lots of weight around her middle during pregnancy, some people think this means she is having a girl. They may also believe that gaining weight just in the front of the body indicates a boy. Again, scientific evidence does not back up this theory. Where a woman gains weight in pregnancy depends on her body type. 4. Carrying the baby highCarrying the baby high is an often-repeated sign of having a girl. Despite its popularity, this has no scientific basis. Where a woman carries her baby depends on her:
5. Sugar cravingsWomen often experience new cravings when pregnant. Some people think if a woman craves sugar, she may be carrying a girl, whereas salty cravings may indicate a boy. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that food cravings during pregnancy can indicate the sex of the baby. 6. Stress levels
If a woman has high stress levels before conceiving, she may be more likely to have a girl.
A women's stress levels before she conceives may influence a baby's sex. A 2012 study found a relationship between levels of the stress hormone cortisol and the male to female birth ratio. In this study, women with high levels of cortisol were statistically more likely to have a girl. A 2013 study found that in the two years following an earthquake on the Greek island of Zakynthos, the male birth rate dropped. Researchers suspected that increased stress levels in the island's community affected the birth ratio. More research is needed to properly understand the link between stress and the sex of unborn babies. 7. Oily skin and dull hairSome people believe that having oily skin and dull hair may mean a woman is carrying a girl. This belief is not scientifically based. On the other hand, changes in oil production or hair appearance during pregnancy may relate to hormonal changes or changes in diet. 8. Baby's rapid heartbeatSome people believe that if the baby's heart beats rapidly, they may be female. However, researchers debunked this myth decades ago in a study that found no significant difference between the heart rate in male and female fetuses. How doctors test for the baby's sexThe best opportunity to find out a baby's sex is when the doctor carries out an ultrasound scan at 20 weeks. The doctor will look at the baby's genitals during the scan to determine their sex. This is usually accurate but not always, as many things can obscure the ultrasound image. There are some other procedures the doctor can perform to get a definitive answer, including:
A doctor will usually only offer these procedures if they are concerned about the health of the baby. TakeawayMost anecdotal signs of having a girl are myths that need debunking. Excessive morning sickness and preconception stress may mean it is more likely a woman will have a girl, but much more research is needed to understand fully how these factors influence a baby's sex. The most useful way to determine a baby's sex is to ask for the doctor's professional opinion at the 20-week ultrasound.
