I went to Kevin at his business Positive Change Hypnotherapy for the purpose of quitting smoking. I had been a non smoker for three years previous but had some how fallen back into smoking.

I was determined to quit and with Kevin's expertise I did just that. The session was great. I was very relaxed and Kevin guided me through a deep hypnosis. When I emerged, I was delighted to be a non smoker once again. I felt no fear, urges or cravings at all and the little trick he gave me to enforce that was a great help. Very clever.

It's been almost four months and I haven't had a cigarette let alone thought about them. I have put on no additional weight and feel happy and more confident which is exactly what Kevin said would be the case.

The session with Kevin is very powerful and I would strongly recommend going to see him if you have any such issues with smoking, stress, weight loss. Your health is your greatest asset and with Kevin's help you can make sure you stay healthy and free from disease.

Men unhappy with their beer bellies

Men unhappy with their beer bellies by David Howells

More men than ever could be looking to weight loss hypnotherapy to rid them of their beer bellies, BBC News reports.

Research from the University of the West of England found that men often talk about body image with their peers and get hung up on their failings.

Studying the behaviours of 384 British men with an average age of 40, scientists from the University found that four in five had a problem with their shape, with beer bellies and lack of muscle definition the biggest gripe.

Thirty five per cent of those questioned even said they would go so far as to take a year off their life in order to get the body shape they desired.

Of those studied, 80 per cent spoke about body shape with friends and lovers, whilst one in three took protein supplements to help them get more muscle definition.

Speaking to carbonated.tv, study leader Dr Philippa Diedrichs explained how "body talk" was the term researchers coined for this talking amongst men of body shape.

"Body talk reinforces the unrealistic beauty ideal which reinforces leanness and muscularity," she said.

"This is traditionally seen as an issue for women but our research shows that men are feeling the pressure to conform too. We need to take a collaborative approach to promoting an environment that values diversity and promotes healthy body image."

Women Smokers ‘more likely than men to get heart disease’ Study

kevin — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 20:44:48 +0000

Interesting article on www.breakingnews.ie …

Smoking is 25% more likely to give women heart disease than men, a study has found.

Toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke may have a more potent effect on women due to biological differences, scientists believe.

US researchers analysed pooled data on around four million individuals from 86 studies.

After adjusting for other risk factors, they found the increased risk of heart disease linked to smoking was 25% higher for women.

The longer a woman smoked, the greater her heart disease risk was compared with that of a man who had smoked for the same length of time.

A woman’s extra risk increased by 2% for every additional year she had been smoking.

The findings are published today in an early online edition of The Lancet medical journal.

Authors Dr Rachel Huxley, from the University of Minnesota, and Dr Mark Woodward, from Johns Hopkins University, of Maryland, wrote: “Women might extract a greater quantity of carcinogens and other toxic agents from the same number of cigarettes than men.

“This occurrence could explain why women who smoke have double the risk of lung cancer compared with their male counterparts.

“Physicians and health professionals should be encouraged to increase their efforts at promotion of smoking cessation in all individuals.

“Present trends in female smoking, and this report, suggest that inclusion of a female perspective in tobacco-control policies is crucial.”
