Weight loss for women is a real money spinner for the diet industry as most dieters are women, the pressure on women to be slim is huge and most women will have been on a diet at some point in their lives. It's a billion-dollar industry! However, women usually find weight loss harder than men for a variety of reasons-why is that given that the essential physiology of weight loss is no different for women than it is for men? Want assistance in losing weight Click here now and check out what worked for several women around the world. Well, the reason is in no small part down to body shape-the distribution of muscle and body fat. In today's society, body shape and weight loss for women is a problem-when Reubens was painting, curvy, natural-looking women with lots of body fat were deemed attractive. Nowadays, the super-slim body shape of models and Hollywood actresses is considered the ideal-which is totally unrealistic and unachievable for many women, however hard they try! An overweight man's body shape is often referred to as an "apple" as excess body fat is generally carried around their abdomen. Women, however, are usually "pears", carrying their body fat on their lower body-bottom, hips, and thighs as well as their breasts. The purpose of upper body fat is to protect you when food is scarce. However, the function of lower body fat and breast tissue is mainly to sustain a pregnancy and to breastfeed a baby. A growing fetus requires food to grow, as does a baby-around 500 calories a day of breast milk on average! Men and women both have upper and lower body fat. It's just that due to womens' hormonal balance, estrogen causes fat to be stored in the lower body and breast tissue to support a pregnancy. Throughout most of human history, women were pregnant pretty much every year until their fertility dropped, so the extra pregnancy-related body fat was important. More recently, however, and particularly in western societies women have far fewer children and don't need the extra fat-but their bodies haven't adapted to these changing lifestyle

A case control experimental study design was conducted to determine in vitro antibacterial activity of selected plants in Aklilu Lemma Institute of Pathobiology, Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. Methanol extract of traditionally used plants collected from different parts of the country to treat diarrhea in animals and human were considered. Calpurnia aurea, Salivia schimperi, Verbasicum sinaticum, Hypericum revolutum and Petrolobium stelatum at a concentration of 250mg/ml were evaluated for their antibacterial activity using agar well diffusion test method. The results obtained show that methanol extract of Calpurnia aurea and Salivia schimperi are the most active plants against all the bacteria species tested. The highest zone of inhibition (15.6 mm) was recorded for Petrolobium stelatum against E. coli, Verbasicum sinaticum and Hypericum revolutum against S. typhmurium and S.paratyphi while, Petrolobium stelatum did not induce inhibition zones against S. typhmurium. Generally, mo...
