Currently there seems to an almost feverish pitch when it comes to discussing smoking and smoking cessation issues. Just take a look around the internet and you will find it everywhere, pages and pages, of this product to quit smoking, that solution to quit smoking, this remedy to quit smoking, that warning that you're going to die if you don't quit now.
When it comes to the actual facts about quitting smoking, know that the nicotine replacement industry earns approximately $750 million annually from the sales of nicotine replacement method products, while the tobacco industry continues to earn $300 billion annually from the sale of cigarettes. Couple that reality with the American Cancer Society, American Lung Association, and the U.K. Center for Clinical Excellence accepted statistic that 95% of smokers can't quit smoking permanently beyond the first year and the truth of the situation becomes alarmingly clear. Up to now quitting smoking has been nothing more than a very dismal failing proposition even with all the quit smoking methods and programs that have been available up to now.
But take a look at the news programs lately and it's all about what the politicians are doing about banning smoking everywhere and anywhere. And why not, smokers are easy to ban because all smokers know that in the end their habit is bad for them and they aren't a cohesive political group that any politician ever has to worry about come election time. Who's not going to vote for a politician that banned smoking in the park, town, beach, even the smokers will still vote for them in the end.
The sad part is that with a statistic that evidences that 95-96% of all smokers who try to quit smoking every year, without a real solution, most smokers will eventually find themselves at odds with a society that is not tolerant against a habit they can't actually beat. While everyone is believing that the efforts of politicians are working and people are now able to quit under the pressure, the reality is they are simply sending smokers inside to smoke and away from the public view.
Thankfully, despite all of those very dismal statistics, finally a very real solution has been created by a company that stepped out of the box and developed a way to help all smokers actually quit smoking permanently. That should bring a great sigh of relief to every smoker who is ready to quit smoking permanently.
By marrying old world real help with 21st century popular consumer technology Habit Braker Enterprises has created a real solution, that is in fact realizing a 99% success rate overall, based on self reporting actual users of the system over the past year. Though incredible, a simple solution, developed originally from an actual smokers own frustrations on quitting, is realizing results of success that based on the American Cancer Society, American Lung Association and the U.K. Center for Clinical Excellence, has never actually been realized before using any other method.
The Habit Braker system works because it quickly and instantly can address the very real brain war that goes on between the brain and the quitting smoker's own commitment to quit smoking. That brain war begins as soon as nicotine is reduced from the levels the brain is used to receiving and it doesn't give up for an entire year at least and for some smokers, even longer. By using cell phones, iPODs, MP3 and CD players, and 14 different short but powerful messages designed for the quitting smoker, to deliver instantly and quickly, anywhere and everywhere, any time and every time, the help that is needed to beat every negative message sent to the quitting smoker that threatens their commitment, before that negative message has a chance to work on them and cause them to give up, the solution has been created for 99% of all smokers.

Quit Smoking Without Gaining Weight
Women between the ages of 35 and 55 will soon experience menopause. It is not a disease but rather a phase in life where the female will no longer be able to conceive a child. One of the symptoms associated with this phase is weight gain. In fact, 90% of women will gain a few extra pounds which are not a direct result of overeating but rather a shift in your hormones.
Those who are already going through with menopause will probably notice a change in their physical body shape. Majority will gain between 10 to 15 pounds but this will not happen overnight. It will happen gradually like one or two pounds per year during premenopause and a little faster for those who are in early and surgical menopause.
The areas where you will see a physical change will be in the abdomen thus making you look fat when you look at yourself in the mirror. Again, this is not your fault but a fact of life because there are also already fluctuations in your hormones.
To explain this further, you have to understand that hormones do not only affect our behavior but also have a direct impact on our appetite, fat storage and metabolism.
Females have four hormones namely androgen, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. The first one namely androgen is the one that puts that excess weight around your abdomen. This happens because when you reach androgen, your body produces more of this hormone causing you to gain weight here rather than your hips, thigh or rear.
Estrogen is the hormone responsible for your monthly ovulation. When you reach menopausal age, the level of estrogen that is produced by the body decreases. Because of this, your ovaries need a source of estrogen so it taps your fat cells that have the ability to make this happen. This forces the body to convert calories into fat but since your fat cells are unable to burn calories like your muscles do when you work out, this also causes you pack a few extra pounds.
Another hormone that will also decrease during menopause is your progesterone levels. This causes water retention and bloating. The only good news is that this usually disappears after a few months.
Testosterone is the one that converts lean muscle mass out of the calories you take in from eating. During menopause, this level also drops thus resulting in the loss of this muscle. This will slow down your metabolism thus making it difficult to burn the food you ingested and it too causes weight gain.
Other factors that may cause weight gain during menopause could be attributed to insulin resistance and stress. Insulin resistance occurs when the body converts every calorie into fat. Stress can also make this happen as the body stores calories instead of burning as its way of saving on energy.
So how will you be able to reduce menopausal weight gain? A lot of experts believe that this will be difficult but not impossible. The most obvious is eating a balanced diet. You will have to give up food products that contain refined sugars and switch it to fruits and vegetables. You should also cut back on alcohol, caffeine and nicotine.
As much as possible try to stay active by exercising regularly. Examples of these could be aerobics, cycling, jogging, running and walking that will increase muscle mass and prevent osteoporosis.
