B12 Injections for Moms?

Are you feeling really fatigued and tired and do you have those weird winter blahs. Then maybe what you need is a simple b12 injection. This can help the overweight and tired mommy get back to her fighting weight. A b12injection is becoming the answer when it comes to rapid safe weight loss after indulging in those rich Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.
Is there any danger to this? Usually the b12 injection is safe in general unless your physician says otherwise. Vitamin B12 is one of the crucial nutrients that our bodies need in order to function properly and when we do not have enough all of our functions, including our ability to create energy slows right down. This means weight gain for mommies that suffer from the winter blues or who are simply having trouble keeping up in general.
Vitamin b12 performs many of the body's more important tasks including the job of giving us an energy boost. Those energy boosts are what give our bodies the impetus to burn calories. That is why B12 is always called the 'energy vitamin.'
There is a hitch. A vitamin b12 injection will not cause you to lose weight if you take it orally. Only injections cause real weight loss. To take the injectable version you need to get it prescribed by a doctor. Most of these doctors work as physicians in weight loss centers. Very often these B12 shots are a standard part of a medical weight loss program and they have been since the nineeen fifties they take care of all kinds of important tasks including the making of DNA during cell division and forming of red blood cells.
These shots are administered directly into the muscle, allowing the body to absorb it all easily. You will be required to stay at the medical weight loss program clinic for a few minutes after you get the shot to make sure you are not having an adverse reaction. People are usually never allergic to vitamin B but they do sometimes get allergic to the carrier fluids used to deliver the drug into the bloodstream.
If you are overweight because you have chronic fatigue system or a vitamin B12 deficiency than you might be prescribed these shots by a regular doctor. The lift that people get from these shots also helps them fight the stress and depression that might be leading to the overweight condition. People on these shots simply feel more like getting up and moving which is good.
I am not so sure I approve of these shots jus yet but I have seen them work with friends of mine who basically feel fat, depressed and overwhelmed with dealing with kids. I would not recommend doing any of this without a doctor's permission and also if you are pregnant or nursing stay away from any type of injection that alters your body chemistry.

Smokeless Cigarettes Tempt My Kids

The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids is a favorite organization of mine and they have recently made an interesting announcement that should concern moms everywhere.  It seems that the tobacco company R.J. Reynolds is test marketing a new smokeless tobacco product.  The reason this is a threat to my kids is because the lack of smoke makes it easier for them to smoke behind my back undetected.

The new cigarettes come in what the company calls fresh and mellow flavors and are packaged like gum and candy. They also look like a pack of camels which is on one of the most popular of tobacco products among teenagers.  The introduction of these new smokeless products emphasizes that need for Congress to pass pending legislation that grants the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulatory authority over all tobacco products.

 The last thing that kids need is yet another product that encourages them to become addicted to nicotine addiction. The product is flavored and packaged like candy so that they are easier to conceal in a jacket and hide from us. The cigarette box looks like candy packaging.

These smokeless cigarettes are also likely to discourage smokers from quitting by enabling them to smoke in 'smoke-free' environments. Smokers concerned about their health should not be fooled by these new tobacco products and should still try to quit, by taking FDA-approved medications and attending counseling.

RJR’s new products add to a growing list of novel products tobacco companies have introduced recently in their relentless efforts to recruit new youth users, create and sustain addiction to nicotine, and discourage current users from quitting. The tobacco industry will continue to get away with these harmful practices until Congress ends the industry’s regulatory exemption and passes legislation granting the FDA authority over tobacco products. Under this legislation, a government agency will finally have authority over what tobacco companies put in their products, how they market them, the health claims they make and what they disclose about their products’ contents and impact on health.

On July 30, the U.S. House of Representatives approved this legislation by a vote of 326 to 102. There is also overwhelming support in the Senate, where the bill has 60 sponsors and several other senators who have indicated support. It is critical that Congress enact this bill into law at the earliest opportunity. Until Congress acts, kids and consumers will continue to be human guinea pigs in the tobacco industry’s deadly experiments.

R.J. Reynolds’ new products are being test-marketed in Columbus, Ohio, Portland, Oregon, and Indianapolis.
