Anti aging solutions with food

 

వయసును తగ్గించే ఆహారం

Anti aging solutions with food

మనం తినే ఆహార పదార్థాలను బట్టి మన వ్యక్తిత్వం నిర్దేశించబడుతుంది అనడంలో సందేహం లేదు, జ్ఞాపక శక్తి మెరుగు పడాలన్నా, మానసిక ఒత్తిడులు తట్టుకోవాలన్నా, జేవితంలో ఎదురయ్యే ఎన్నో సమస్యలను ధైర్యంగా ఎదుర్కోవాలన్న కావలసింది ఆరోగ్యం, ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉన్నప్పుడే మనం ఏదైనా సాధించగలుగుతాం.

ఆరోగ్యం వ్యక్తిత్వాన్నే కాదు వృద్ధాప్యాన్ని కూడా నిర్దేశిస్తుంది.. రోజువారి జీవితంలో ఎదురయ్యే సమస్యలు, మానసిక ఒత్తిడులు మన చర్మంపై కూడా ప్రభావం చూపిస్తాయి. అందుకే వయసుతో సంబంధం లేకుండా చర్మం ముడతలు పడి కాంతి లేకుండా తయారవుతుంది.. చర్మ సంరక్షణకు ఎంత విలువైన కాస్మొటిక్స్ వాడినా, మన శరీరంలో  చర్మానికి కావలసిన హార్మోన్ ల ఉత్పత్తి సమపాళ్ళలో లేకపోతే ప్రయోజనం ఉండదు. అందుకే చర్మ సంరక్షణకు మనం తినే ఆహారంలో కొన్ని జాగ్రత్తలు తీసుకుంటే చర్మానికి కావలసిన హార్మోన్ ల ఉత్పత్తి మెరుగుపడి చర్మం యవ్వనంగా ఉండటమే కాక కాంతిలీనుతూ ఉంటుంది.

చర్మం కాంతివంతంగా, ముడతలు లేకుండా యవ్వనంగా నిగనిగలాడుతూ ఉండాలంటే ఈ సారి మీరు ఇంటికి కావలసిన సరుకులు తెచ్చుకునేటప్పుడు ఇవి తప్పకుండా ఉండేలా జాగ్రత్తపడండి.

ఆకుకూరలు

ఆకుకూరల్లో విటమిన్ సి, పుష్కలంగా ఉంటుంది, అది చర్మం కాంతివంతంగా ప్రకాశించడంలో దోహదపడుతుంది. అంతేకాదు ఆకుకూరల్లో ఉండే క్యారోటినాయిడ్స్ చర్మం ముడతలను తొలగించి, ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉంచుతుంది.

టమాట

టమాటాల్లో అధిక మోతాదులో ఉండే లైకోపిన్, చర్మాన్ని కాంతిహీనం చేసే సెల్స్ ని అదుపులో ఉంచుతాయి. పచ్చి టమాటాల్లో కంటే వండిన టమాటాల్లో 5 రెట్లు ఎక్కువ లైకోపిన్ ఉంటుంది. చర్మానికే కాదు రకరకాల గుండెకు సంబంధించిన వ్యాధుల నుండి ఈ లైకోపిన్ దూరంగా ఉంచుతుంది.

వెల్లుల్లి

వెల్లుల్లిని మించిన యాంటి ఆక్సిడెంట్ లేదు, వెల్లుల్లిని ఏదో రూపంలో ఆహారంలో ఉండేటట్లు చూసుకుంటే చాలు, ఎన్నో రోగాలు మన దగ్గరికి కూడా రావు, వెల్లుల్లిలో ఉండే ఆంటిసెప్టిక్ , ఆంటి బ్యాక్టీరియల్, ఆంటీ వైరల్స్, స్కిన్ ఇన్ఫెక్షన్ నుండి దూరంగా ఉంచుతాయి. రక్తాన్ని శుద్ధపరచి గుండెను ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉంచుతాయి. బ్లడ్ ప్రెషర్ ను క్రమబద్ధం చేసి రక్తంలో చెడు కొవ్వును తగ్గించి ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉండటానికి తోడ్పడుతుంది .

సోయాబీన్

సోయాబీన్ లో ఉండే ఫ్లేవోన్స్ , శరీరంలోని హార్మోన్ ఇంబాలెన్స్ వల్ల కలిగే రుగ్మతలను దూరంగా ఉంచుతుంది. ఇందులో చర్మానికి కావలసిన పోషకాలన్నీ పుష్కలంగా ఉన్నాయి.

వేరుశనగ

వేరు శనగల్లో అధిక మోతాదులో ఉండే విటమిన్ ఇ, సిలీనియం, జింక్ శరీర సౌందర్యానికి కావలసిన హార్మోన్ ల ఉత్పత్తిలో సహకరిస్తాయి. రక్తప్రసరణ మెరుగుపరచి మంచి ఆరోగ్యంతో పాటు చర్మ సౌందర్యానికి ఉపకరిస్తాయి.

ఆపిల్

ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉండటానికి యాపిల్ చేసే మేలు అంతా ఇంతా కాదు, రోజుకు ఒక యాపిల్ తిన్నా గంపెడు ఆరోగ్యాన్ని కొని తెచ్చుకున్నట్టే. కాబట్టి ప్రతి రోజు ఆహారంలో ఏదో ఒకపూట కనీసం ఒక యాపిల్ అయినా తినాలి. ఆపిల్ లో ఉండే సి విటమిన్ చర్మంలోని ముడతలను తగ్గించి యవ్వనంగా ఉంచుతుంది.

తెలుఫుకున్నారు కదా.. మరి ఇప్పటి నుండి ఇవి మీ ఆహారంలో తప్పకుండా ఉండేటట్లు జాగ్రత్తలు తీసుకుంటారు కదూ.. ఇంకో ముఖ్య విషయం, మంచి ఆహారం తింటే ఎంత ఆరోగ్యమో, ఆరోగ్యానికి కీడు చేసే ఆహారం తింటే అంతే అనారోగ్యం ...

జంక్ ఫుడ్, సిగరెట్లు, ఆల్కహాల్, ఇవి కూడా మన ఆరోగ్యంతో పాటు, మన అందం పై  కూడా ప్రభావం చూపిస్తాయి. కాబట్టి తిండి విషయంలో జాగ్రత్తగా ఉందాం. అందం, ఆరోగ్యం సొంతం చేసుకుందాం.

కోల్డ్ తో బాధ పడుతున్నారా ?

 

కోల్డ్ తో బాధ పడుతున్నారా ?

 

కోల్డ్ అనేది సర్వ సాధారణమైన లక్షణం. ఇది పెద్ద జబ్బేం కాదు, అయితేనేం పట్టిందంటే పీడిస్తుంది. తెగ సతాయిస్తుంది. జలుబు చేసేది ముక్కుకే అయినా ముఖమంతా ఏదో పాకుతున్నట్టు యమా చేరాకేస్తుంది. కోల్డ్ వల్ల శరీరమంతా అలసిపోయినట్టు అవుతుంది. మనసు స్థిమితంగా ఉండదు. తిండి తినాలనిపించదు, ఎవరితో మాట్లాడాలనిపించదు. నిద్ర పట్టడం కష్టమౌతుంది. ఇంత ఇబ్బంది పెట్టే కోల్డ్ గురించి ఓ నానుడి ఉంది. దీనికి మందు వాడకపోతే ఏడు రోజుల్లో తగ్గుతుంది, వాడితే వారంలో తగ్గుతుంది- అని. అంటే కోల్డ్ కు ఔషధం వేసుకున్నా లాభం లేదనేది తాత్పర్యం.

అనేకమంది అనుభవాలు ఆ మాట నిజమే అనిపించేలా చేశాయి. అలాగని మెడిసిన్లు వేసుకోకుండా కోల్డ్ ను ముదరబెట్టుకుంటే ఆనక బాధపడక తప్పదు. దీర్ఘకాలంపాటు జలుబు కనుక తగ్గకపోతే, అది న్యుమోనియాకు దారితీస్తుంది. పూర్వకాలం సంగతి ఎలా ఉన్నా, ఇప్పుడు కోల్డ్ కు చాలానే మందులున్నాయి. మందుల సంగతి అలా ఉంచితే అనేక గృహ చిట్కాలు కూడా ఉన్నాయి. పసుపు, పటిక బెల్లములను సమంగా తీసుకుని నిప్పుల మీద వేసి ఆ పొగను పీల్చినట్లైతే పడిశం సమస్య నివారణ అవుతుంది. మిరియాలను నూరి, బెల్లంతో కలిపి ముద్దగా చేసి తింటే కోల్డ్ తగ్గుతుంది. ఒకవేళ అది మరీ ఘాటుగా ఉంటుంది, తినలేము అనుకుంటే వేడి పాలలో మిరియాల పొడి వేసుకుని తాగినా ఫలితం ఉంటుంది. గులాబీ రేకలను నువ్వుల నూనెలో మరిగించి , దించి వడపోసి నిలువ చేసుకోవడం ఇంకో పధ్ధతి. ఈ గులాబీ తైలాన్ని రెండు పూటలా రెండు చుక్కలు ముక్కులో వేస్తే, జలుబు తగ్గుతుంది. తుమ్ములు కూడా అరికడతాయి.
కొందరికి డస్ట్ ఎలర్జీల్లాంటివి ఉంటాయి. పిండి, కారం లాంటివి జల్లించినా, కాస్త అటక దులిపినా వెంటనే ఎలర్జీ బయటపడిపోతుంది. ఆఖరికి సాంబ్రాణి పొగ కూడా పడనివారు ఉంటారు. అలాగే కొందరికి ఎండలో తిరిగితే వెంటనే ఎలర్జీ వస్తుంది. మరి కొందరికి కొన్ని వాసనలు సరిపడవు. ఇంకొందరికి కొన్ని పదార్ధాలు తింటే ఎలర్జీ వస్తుంది. వీళ్ళందరికీ దాదాపుగా కోల్డ్ మొదటి లక్షణంగా ఉంటుంది. కనుక ఏది సరిపడటంలేదో, దానికి దూరంగా ఉండేందుకు ప్రయత్నించాలి.

ముక్కు అంటూ ఉన్నాక జలుబు చేయకుండా ఉండదు. కానీ చీటికిమాటికి కోల్డ్ వస్తుంటే ఆలోచించాల్సిందే. డాక్టర్ను సంప్రదించాలి. రెసిస్టేన్స్ పవర్ తగ్గితే కూడా త్వరగా కోల్డ్ చేస్తుందని గ్రహించాలి. మొత్తానికి ఎక్కువకాలం పాటు రొంప వదలకుండా బాధిస్తుంటే, లోపల ఏదో అనారోగ్యం పొంచి ఉందని గ్రహించి తగిన శ్రద్ధ తీసుకోవాలి.

డైట్ కేర్

ఆహారం విషయంలో మనం ఉండాల్సినంత జాగ్రత్తగా ఉంటున్నామో లేదో ఎప్పటికప్పుడు చెక్ చేసుకోవాలి. ఎత్తుకు తగ్గ బరువుతో బలంగా, శక్తిగా ఉన్నామో లేదో చూసుకోవాలి. బరువు ఎక్కువై, ఊబకాయం తెచ్చుకుంటే ఎంత కష్టమో, తక్కువై బలహీనంగా ఉన్నా అంతే కష్టం. కనుక సమతుల్యతను కాపాడుకోవాలి. ఆహారంలో ఉండే పోషకాలు శక్తిని విడుదల చేస్తాయి. ఏదైనా అనారోగ్యంతో బాధపడుతుంటేనో, లేక హార్మోన్ల అపసవ్యత చోటుచేసుకుంటేనో తప్పించి సాధారణంగా మనం తీసుకున్న ఆహారాన్ని బట్టి బరువులో హెచ్చుతగ్గులు ఉంటాయి.

ఆరోగ్య పరిరక్షణలో భాగంగా ఆహార నియమాలను పాటించాలి. తీసుకున్న ఆహారం సవ్యంగా జీర్ణమయ్యేందుకు కొంత వ్యాయామం తప్పనిసరి. లేకుంటే బరువు విపరీతంగా పెరిగిపోతుంటుంది. కొవ్వు నిల్వలు చేరతాయి. శరీరానికి అవసరమైన శక్తి సరిగా విడుదల కాదు. దాంతో బరువు తగ్గించుకోడానికి నానా యాతనా పడాలి. అవసరమైన కంటే ఎక్కువ ఆహారం ఎలా మంచిది కాదో, తక్కువ తినడమూ శ్రేయస్కరం కాదు. శరీరం శుష్కించుకు పోయి, నీరసం ముంచుకొస్తుంటుంది. ఏ పనిమీదా శ్రద్ధాసక్తులు ఉండవు. ఈ దశ ముదిరితే అసలు జీవితం మీదే ఆసక్తి నశిస్తుంది. కనుక ఏవిధంగా చూసినా ఆరోగ్యకరమైన ఆహారాన్ని తీసుకునేందుకు ప్రణాళిక వేసుకోవాలి.
మనలో చాలామంది చేసే తప్పు ఏమిటంటే, ఆహారం రుచిగా ఉంటె సరిపోతుంది అనుకుంటాం. కానీ ఆహారం శుచిగా ఉండటం అంతకంటే ముఖ్యం. పరిశుభ్రంగా లేని పదార్ధాల వల్ల లేనిపోని జబ్బులొస్తాయి. అలాగే నిలవున్న పదార్ధాలు విషతుల్యం అయ్యి, ఫుడ్ పాయిజన్ గా మారే ప్రమాదం ఉంది. ఇక ముఖ్యమైన అంశం ఆహారంలో పోషక విలువలు ఉండాలి. కింది కనీస జాగ్రత్తలు పాటించాలి.
1. ప్రోటీన్లు ఉండే ఆహారం తీసుకోవడంవల్ల శరీరానికి అవసరమైన విటమిన్లు, మినరల్సు అందుతాయి.
2. వీలైనంతవరకు ఫాస్ట్ ఫుడ్స్ తీసుకోకపోవడం మంచిది.
3. రుచికి, చూపులకు బాగుంటుంది కదాని పోలిష్ పట్టిన తెల్లటి బియ్యాన్ని వాడతాం. కానీ దంపుడు బియ్యపు అన్నం ఎంతో శ్రేష్టం.

4. అన్నం కంటే ఎక్కువగా కూరలను తినడం మంచిది.
5.ఆయా సీజన్లలో దొరికే పండ్లను సేవిస్తుండాలి.
6. నీళ్ళు బాగా తాగాలి. రోజుకు నాలుగు లీటర్లకు తక్కువ కాకుండా తాగితే మంచిది.
7. ఎక్కువ నీళ్ళు తాగి, తరచుగా యూరిన్ పాస్ చేయడంవల్ల శరీరంలో చోటు చేసుకున్న మలినాలు చాలావరకూ వెళ్ళిపోతాయి.
8. ఆహారం ఎక్కువ మొత్తంలో ఒకేసారి తీసుకోవడం కంటే కొంచెం మోతాదులో ఎక్కువసార్లు తినడం మంచిది.
9. తిన్న ఆహారం సక్రమంగా జీర్ణమయ్యేందుకు తగిన వ్యాయామం చేయాలి.
10. ఉదయం, సాయంత్రం వాకింగ్ చేస్తే దాన్ని మించిన ఆరోగ్య రహస్యం ఇంకొకటి లేదు.
ఈమాత్రం కనీస సూత్రాలు పాటించి ఆరోగ్యాన్ని సంరక్షించుకుందాం.


Nurtritions in Food....!

 

                        ఆరోగ్యమే మనిషి ఎదుగుదలను నిర్దేశిస్తుంది. కెరీర్ లో కానీ, కుటుంబ సభ్యుల మధ్య సఖ్యత విషయంలో గాని ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉండే వారి ఆలోచనా విధానంలోను, అనారోగ్యంగా ఉన్న వారి ఆలోచనా విదానాల్లోను చాలా వ్యత్యాసం ఉంటుంది. ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉన్న వ్యక్తి కాన్ఫిడెంట్ గా ఉంటాడు. క్లిష్ట సమయాల్లో కంగారు పడకుండా సరైన నిర్ణయాలు తీసుకుంటాడు. అందుకే ఆరోగ్యమే మహాభాగ్యం అన్నారు, ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉన్నవారికి అన్ని సిరులు దక్కినట్టేనని దానర్థం .

బాధ్యతల నడుమ ఒత్తిడి వల్లనో , టైం లేకపోవడం వల్లనో, ఒక్కోసారి మనం ఆహారం గురించి అసలు పట్టించుకోం. ఆ చిన్నపాటి నిర్లక్ష్యం మనల్ని ఎన్నో రకాల వ్యాధులకు గురి చేస్తుంది. అందులో మొదటిది... 

ఐరన్ డెఫీషియన్సీ ఎనీమియా

ఐరన్ డెఫీషియన్సీ ఎనీమియా అనేది చాలా ప్రభావాన్ని చూపుతుంది. ఇది 6 నెలల పిల్లల నుండి వృద్ధుల వరకు కలగవచ్చు.ఈ ఐరన్ డెఫీషియన్సీ ఎనీమియా వల్ల త్వరగా అలసిపోవడం, ఏ పని చేయలేకపోవడం, చీటికి మాటికీ చిరాకు పడటం దానికి తోడు మనిషిలో సత్తువ తగ్గి ఉత్సాహం లేకుండా పోతుంది. ఫలితంగా దేనిపై కాన్సంట్రేట్ చేయలేరు

అధిక బరువు (ఒబెసిటీ )

ఒబెసిటీ ఇప్పుడు చాలా మందిలో పెద్ద సమస్యగా తయారయింది. ఇది ప్రత్యేకంగా పెద్దల్లోనే కాదు చిన్నపిల్లల్లోను కనిపిస్తుంది, దీనిని మనం ప్రారంభదశలోనే కంట్రోల్ లో ఉంచుకోకపోతే హార్ట్ డిసీజ్, హైపర్ టెన్షన్, మరియు క్యాన్సర్ వంటి వ్యాధులకు దారి తీస్తుంది

దంత క్షయం

దంత క్షయానికి దంతాలను పరిశుభ్రంగా ఉంచుకోకపోవడం ఒక కారణమైతే, కాల్షియం లేకపోవడం కూడా మరో కారణం. దంత క్షయం తో మొదలై అనేక రకాల దంతాలకు సంబంధించిన ఇబ్బందులు కలుగుతాయి

పొట్టలో ఇబ్బంది

మనం తీసుకునే ఆహారంలో ఫైబర్ తగ్గితే కడుపులోని అవయవాల పై ప్రభావం పడుతుంది. ఫలితంగా మలబద్ధకం, అపెండిసైటిస్, అజీర్తి మరియు శ్వాసకోశవ్యాధులకు దారి తీస్తుంది

కొలెస్ట్రాల్

ఈ రోజుల్లో చాలా మంది ఈ వ్యాధితో బాధపడుతున్నారు. ఇది ఎక్కువగా మనం తీసుకునే మాంసాహారం వల్ల మన శరీరంలో పేరుకుపోయే కొవ్వు కారణంగా వస్తుంది

హై బ్లడ్ ప్రెషర్

హై బ్లడ్ ప్రెషర్ సాధారణంగా శరీరంలో ఉప్పు శాతం పెరిగిపోయినా, లేదా మనం తీసుకునే ఆహారంలో కాల్షియం శాతం తగ్గినా ఎక్కువగా కనిపిస్తుంది. దీనిని అదుపులో ఉంచుకోకపోతే హైపర్ టెన్షన్ కి దారి తీస్తుంది.

ఎన్ని జాగ్రత్తలు తీసుకున్నా ఎప్పుడో ఒకసారి ఏవో వ్యాధులకు గురవుతూనే ఉంటాం, చికిత్సలు తీసుకుంటూనే ఉంటాం., కానీ పైన చెప్పిన ఆరోగ్య సమస్యలు మాత్రం కేవలం మనం తీసుకునే ఆహారంలో లోపాల వల్లే కలుగుతాయి. కాబట్టి మనం తీసుకునే ఆహారంలో అన్ని రకాల పోషకాలు సమపాళ్ళలో ఉండేలా జాగ్రత్తలు తీసుకోవాలి

ఆరోగ్య పరిరక్షణకు మన ఆహారంలో తప్పనిసరిగా ఉండాల్సినవి: :

పాల ఉత్పత్తులు : పాలు, చీజ్, పెరుగు, మరియు ఐస్ క్రీమ్స్

మాంసకృత్తులు : మాంసం, చేపలు, గ్రుడ్లు.

గ్రేన్స్ : బ్రెడ్, పాస్తా , ధాన్యం.

పండ్లు, కూరగాయలు : జ్యూస్ రూపంలోగాని, వండిన లేదా అదే యధావిధిగా గాని.

 

తప్పనిసరిగా దృష్టిలో పెట్టుకోవాల్సినవి: :

  • మనం ప్రతిరోజూ తీసుకునే ఆహారంలో 20% పాల ఉత్పత్తులు తీసుకుని, తక్కిన 80% ఆహారంలో కూరగాయలు , పండ్లు, మాంసకృత్తులు ఉండేలా జాగ్రత్త పడాలి. ముఖ్యంగా ఫైబర్ కూరగాయల్లోను, పండ్లలోను పుష్కలంగా ఉంటుంది.

  • ప్రతిరోజూ మూడుపూటలా అన్నం తినాలి.

  • చాలా మంది టైం లేదనో, ఆలస్యంగా లేచామనో, ఏవేవో సాకులతో బ్రేక్ ఫాస్ట్ తినకుండా ఉండిపోతారు. కానీ అలా చేయడం వల్ల ఆలోచనా శక్తి మందగించే ప్రమాదముంది, దానికి తోడు శరీర భాగాలకు సరిపడా శక్తి అందక ఎనీమియాకి దారి తీస్తుంది. అందుకని బ్రేక్ ఫాస్ట్ కంపల్సరిగా తినాలి.

  • మన భోజనంలో కంపల్సరిగా ఏదో రూపంలో, పాలు, కూరగాయలు, పండ్లు ఉండేలా జాగ్రత్తపడాలి. కూరగాయలను, పండ్లను సలాడ్ రూపంలో నైనా సరే కనీసం రెండు సార్లు తీసుకోవాలి.

  • ముఖ్యంగా పిల్లల విషయంలో ఈ పద్ధతులను పాటించడం కాస్త కష్టమైన పనే. చిరుతిళ్ళకు అలవాటు పడి సరిగ్గా భోజనం దగ్గరే పేచీ పడతారు. వారికి చిరుతిళ్ళ విషయంలో ఫ్రూట్ సలాడ్ కానీ స్ప్రౌట్స్ కానీ బ్రెడ్, జాం లాంటివి అలవాటు చేయండి. ముఖ్యంగా భోజనానికి రెండు గంటలు ముందుగా ఎటువంటి స్నాక్స్ పెట్టొద్దు.

మనం తీసుకునే ఆహారంలో వీలైనంతగా కొవ్వు పదార్థాలు లేకుండా చూసుకోవాలి. .

  • కొవ్వు పదార్థాలను తగ్గించడం అంటే పాల ఉత్పత్తులను, మాంస కృత్తులను కాస్త తక్కువ మోతాదులో తీసుకోవడం. రోజులో రెండు పూటలకు మించి తినకూడదు.

  • మాంసం వండే ముందు స్కిన్ లెస్ ఉండేలా చూసుకోవడం మంచిది, తద్వారా కొవ్వును కాస్త అవాయిడ్ చేసుకోవచ్చు.

  • రెండు పూటలకు మించి పాలను తాగరాదు.

  • అలాగని కొవ్వు పేరుకుపోతుందన్న భయంతో పూర్తిగా మాంసకృత్తులకు,పాల పదార్థాలకు దూరంగా ఉండకూడదు. సరియైన మోతాదులో తీసుకుంటే శ్రేయస్కరం.

ఎనీమియా రాకుండా జాగ్రత్తలు

శరీరంలో ఐరన్ కొరత ఉన్నప్పుడే ఎనీమియా ఏర్పడుతుంది. మనం తీసుకునే ఆహారంలో తప్పకుండా ఐరన్ ఉండేటట్లు జాగ్రత్తలు తీసుకోవాలి. దానికన్నా ముందు ఏ ఆహారంలో ఐరన్ పాళ్ళు ఎక్కువగా ఉంటాయో ముందుగా తెలుసుకోవాలి. రెడ్ మీట్స్, చేపలు, పౌల్ట్రి మంచివి. ఆహారంలో రోజుకి ఒకసారైనా ఇవి తీసుకుంటే శరీరానికి కావలసిన ఐరన్ దొరికినట్టే. అందునా లివర్ ఐరన్ పుష్టిగా ఉన్న ఆహారం. కాకపొతే కొలెస్ట్రాల్ చాలా ఎక్కువగా ఉంటుంది. శాకాహారులు ఆకుకూరలు విరివిగా తినడం, కందగడ్డ, పీనట్ బటర్, ఎండు ద్రాక్ష, నల్ల ద్రాక్ష, తాజా కూరగాయలు ఆహారంలో తప్పకుండా ఉండేలా జాగ్రత్త పడాలి.  

వీలైనంత ఉప్పు వాడకాన్ని తగ్గించాలి .

సాధారణంగా హైపర్ టెన్షన్ ఉన్న వారు తప్ప తక్కిన వారు ఉప్పును నిర్భయంగా వాడవచ్చు. కానీ అవకాశం ఉన్నప్పుడల్లా కాస్త అవాయిడ్ చేయడం ఆరోగ్యానికి మంచిది.

చక్కర మోతాదును తగ్గించడం మంచిది.

తీపి తినడం ఆరోగ్యానికి హానికరమేమీ కాదు. కాకపోతే మనలో చాలా మంది తీపి వస్తువులను అస్తమానం తింటూనే ఉంటారు. అది మంచిది కాదు ఎందుకంటే అస్తమానం తీపి పదార్థాలను తినడం వల్ల కొరోనరీ ఆర్టరీ డిసీజ్ లేదా క్యాన్సర్ కి దారి తీసే అవకాశాలు ఉన్నాయి.

వ్యాయామానికి ముందు తీసుకోవాల్సిన ఆహారం

వ్యాయామానికి ముందు మాంసాహారం మంచిది కాదు, రెండు మూడు గంటలకు ముందుగా కార్బోహైడ్రేట్లు పుష్కలంగా ఉన్న ఆహారం తీసుకుంటే మంచిది. ఈ కార్బోహైడ్రేట్లు బ్రెడ్, నూడుల్స్, ఆలుగడ్డ, మరియు రైస్ లో ఉంటాయి. ఆహారం తీసుకున్న రెండు గంటల తర్వాత వ్యాయామం చేయడం మంచిది.

ప్రతి 20 నుండి 30 నిమిషాలకొకసారి నీళ్ళు తాగుతుండటం ఉత్తమం

కడుపు నిండా తింటూనే బరువు తగ్గవచ్చు!

కడుపు నిండా తింటూనే బరువు తగ్గవచ్చు!


స్థూలకాయం... ఈ సమస్య ఈ రోజుల్లో సర్వసాధారణమై పోయింది. కొన్నాళ్ళ క్రితం నాజూకుగా అందంగా ఉన్నవారు కాస్త, బరువు పెరిగిపోయి, కనీసం నడవడానికి కూడా ఇబ్బంది పడుతుంటారు. అసలే అధిక బరువుతో బాధపడుతున్నారంటే ఇంకోవైపు ఎవరు పడితే వారి ఇచ్చే సలహాలు.... వ్యాయామం చేయండి, తిండి తగ్గించండి, స్వీట్స్ తినకూడదు, నాన్ వెజ్ తినకూడదు... ఇలా చెప్పుకుంటూ పోతే చాలా ఉంటాయి. బరువు తగ్గడానికి తిండి తగ్గించాలనుకోవడం బాగానే ఉంది, వ్యాయామం చేయాలనుకోవడం  కూడా బాగానే ఉంది, కానీ తిండి తగ్గించి వ్యాయామం చేయడం సాధ్యమా...? వ్యాయామం చేయడానికైనా శక్తి కావాలి కదా..? మరలాంటప్పుడు కడుపు నిండా తిండి లేకపోతే శక్తి ఎక్కడి నుండి వస్తుంది... ? ఒక్క పూట కాస్త ఆలస్యమైతేనే తట్టుకోలేం.. అందునా స్థూలకాయులు మరీను. అలాగని ఎట్లాగూ బరువు పెరిగాం చేయగలిగేదేముంది అని ఊరుకోవడానికి లేదు, అధిక బరువు ప్రాణాంతకమని హెచ్చరిస్తున్నారు వైద్యులు.

బరువు పెరగడానికి మూల కారణం శరీరంలోని హార్మోన్ ల ఇంబాలెన్స్, అధిక మోతాదులో తినేయడం, ఆల్కహాల్ సేవించడం, స్వీట్స్, చాక్లెట్స్ తినేయడం. ఇవి బరువు పెరిగిపోవడానికి ముఖ్య కారణాలు. ఒక్కోసారి అధిక ఒత్తిడి కూడా బరువు పెరగడానికి కారణమేనంటున్నారు నిపుణులు. అధిక ఒత్తిడి వల్ల వెలువడే కోర్టిసోల్ అనే హార్మోన్ పొట్టలో, ముఖ్యంగా నడుం భాగంలో కొవ్వు చేరడానికి కారణమవుతుంది.

గుడ్లు : గుడ్లు చాలా బలవత్తరమైన ఆహారం. గుడ్లలో ప్రోటీన్ శాతం ఎక్కువగా ఉండటం చేత ఆకలి తొందరగా వేయదు.

బీన్స్ : ప్రోటీన్లు, ఫైబర్ అధికంగా ఉన్న కొవ్వు రహిత ఆహారం. వీటిని తినడం వల్ల కండరాలు బలంగా తయారవుతాయి.

ఓట్ మీల్ : అధిక బరువుతో బాధపడేవారికి ఓట్ మీల్ ని మించిన మంచి ఆహారం లేదు. ఓట్ మీల్ లో కొవ్వును కరిగించే లక్షణాలతో పాటు ఇందులో శరీరానికి కావలసిన అతి ముఖ్య పోషకాలు ఫైబర్, ప్రోటీన్లు , విటమిన్లు పుష్కలంగా ఉంటాయి. కాబట్టి రోజూ పొద్దున్నే బ్రేక్ ఫాస్ట్ లో ఓట్ మీల్ ని కడుపు నిండా తినండి. రోజంతా చలాకీగా ఉండగలుగుతారు.

కూరగాయలు : విటమిన్స్, మినెరల్స్, మరియు యాంటీ ఆక్సిడెంట్స్, ఫైబర్ పుష్కలంగా ఉన్న ఆహారం. రాత్రిపూట పడుకోబోయే ముందు కేవలం కూరగాయలు తినడం మీ పొట్ట సైజును తగ్గించడంలో బాగా ఉపకరిస్తుంది.

బార్లీ : బార్లీ లో ఉన్న ఫైబర్, విటమిన్లు, మినెరల్స్, యాంటీ ఆక్సిడెంట్స్, ఫైటో కెమికల్స్ మీకు రోజంతా కావలసినంత శక్తినిస్తాయి, పైగా కొవ్వు రహిత ఆహారం, మీరు నిరభ్యంతరంగా తినవచ్చు.

గ్రీన్ టీ : ఇందులో విటమిన్ సి, బి, మరియు విటమిన్ ఈ మరియు మెగ్నీషియం, జింక్, క్రోమియం, మరియు సెలీనియం పుష్కలంగా ఉంటాయి. దీన్ని మీరు రోజుకు ఎన్ని సార్లైనా తాగవచ్చు.

ఆలివ్ ఆయిల్ : చాలా మంది కూరగాయలు తినడమంటే అంతగా  ఇష్టపడరు, అందుకే  వండేటప్పుడు మనం సాధారణంగా వాడే నూనె తో పాటు విటమిన్ కె, విటమిన్ ఈ, సమృద్ధిగా ఉండే ఈ ఆలివ్ ఆయిల్ వేస్తే ఆహారం ఇంకా రుచిగా తయారవుతుంది. అంతే కాదు ఆలివ్ ఆయిల్ లో మీ పొట్ట చుట్టూ పేరుకున్న కొవ్వును కరిగించగలిగే విశిష్ట గుణాలున్నాయి.

బరువును తగ్గించుకోవాలని మీరు అనుకుంటున్నారంటే మీకు మీ ఆరోగ్యం విషయంలో జాగ్రత్త పెరిగినట్టే. అలాగని ఒకేసారిగా బరువు తగ్గడానికి మాత్రం ప్రయత్నించకూడదు. ఆహారం విషయంలో జాగ్రత్తలు తీసుకుంటూనే, ఎక్స్ పర్ట్ సలహాలు తీసుకుంటూ, ఎప్పటికప్పుడు హెల్త్ చెకప్ చేసుకుంటూ ఉండాలి.

Diet for healthy liver

Diet for healthy liver 

The liver is the largest glandular organ of the body. It weighs about 3 lb (1.36 kg). It is reddish brown in color and is divided into four lobes of unequal size and shape. The liver lies on the right side of the abdominal cavity beneath the diaphragm. Blood is carried to the liver via two large vessels called the hepatic artery and the portal vein. The heptic artery carries oxygen-rich blood from the aorta (a major vessel in the heart). The portal vein carries blood containing digested food from the small intestine. These blood vessels subdivide in the liver repeatedly, terminating in very small capillaries. Each capillary leads to a lobule. Liver tissue is composed of thousands of lobules, and each lobule is made up of hepatic cells, the basic metabolic cells of the liver.

Liver care


As we all aware liver is very important part of our body, we must think about liver before we eat or do something. liver depends on how we take care of it . . . then only it can take care of us. Liver serves as your body's engine, pantry, refinery, food processor, garbage disposal, and "guardian angel." The trouble is, your liver is a silent partner; when something's wrong it does not complain until the damage is far advanced. So it needs your help every day to keep it healthy and hepatitis-free. To do that, you need to eat a healthy diet, exercise, get lots of fresh air, and avoid things that can cause liver damage.

There are many kinds of liver diseases. Viruses cause some of them, like hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Others can be the result of drugs, poisons or drinking too much alcohol. If the liver forms scar tissue because of an illness, it's called cirrhosis. Jaundice, or yellowing of the skin, can be one sign of liver disease.

The liver is the only organ in the body that can easily replace damaged cells, but if enough cells are lost, the liver may not be able to meet the needs of the body.

The liver can be considered a factory; and among its many functions include the:

  • production of bile that is required in the digestion of food, in particular fats;

  • conversion of the extra glucose in the body into stored glycogen in liver cells; and  then converting it back into glucose when the need arises;

  • production of blood clotting factors;

  • production of amino acids (the building blocks for making proteins), including those used to help fight infection;

  • the processing and storage iron necessary for red blood cell production;

  • manufacture of cholesterol and other chemicals required for fat transport;

  • conversion of waste products of body metabolism into urea that is excreted in the urine; and

  • Metabolization medications into their active ingredient in the body.


Here are some foods which are good for the liver when consumed regularly in moderate quantities.


Garlic

 

Garlic contains allicin which is a sulfur-based compound needed by the liver for effective detoxification. Garlic helps the liver rid the body of mercury, certain food additives and the hormone estrogen.

Onions

 

The strong smells and flavors that are unique to onions come from “glucosoids”, volatile, stinging acidic juices contained in most varieties of “Liliaceas”, the family of onions. Vitamin B, Niacin and potassium are also highly active ingredients found in most onion varieties. Their volatile juices are effective anti-parasite agents and aid the liver in flushing out toxins as well. No matter how onions are used, they are one of the healthiest foods for the liver.

Vegetables (broccoli, Sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage)

These vegetables are very powerful detoxifiers of the liver. They contain chemicals that neutralize certain toxins such as nitrosamines found in cigarette smoke and aflotoxin found in peanuts. They also contain glucosinolates that help the liver to produce enzymes it needs for its detoxification processes.

Freshly squeezed lemon in hot water.

Drinking freshly squeezed lemon juice in a cup of boiled water first thing in the morning helps to cleanse the liver and promote detoxification. It also stimulates bile production, cleanses the stomach and bowel and stimulates a bowel motion.

Beetroot

It's a blood-purifying tonic that is also capable of absorbing heavy metals.

High-antioxidant fruits

blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, plums, oranges, pink grapefruit, cantaloupe, apples and pears. Antioxidants help to protect the liver from the high levels of free radicals that are naturally produced during the process of detoxification.

Apples

Apples contain pectin that bind to heavy metals in the body (in particular in the colon) and help their excretion. This reduces the load on the liver and its detoxification capacities.

Artichoke

Increases bile production. One of the jobs of bile is to remove toxins through the bowel, as well as 'unfriendly' micro-organisms. It has been suggested that 30 minutes after eating globe artichoke, bile flow is increased by over 100%.

Bitter leafy salad greens 

The bitterness of these foods helps to stimulate bile flow within the liver.

Coconut

 

Coconut water is so quickly and easily processed by the liver than it could actually be effectively transfused intravenously directly into your blood stream. Also a rich source of organic oils, calcium, phosphorous and Iron which are easily broken down and used by the liver in a number of key functions. Coconut also contains amounts of vitamin C.

Healthy food for Digestive System

Healthy food for Digestive System

Digestion is the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food into smaller components that are more easily absorbed into a blood stream, for instance. Digestion is a form of catabolism: a breakdown of large food molecules to smaller ones.

The digestive system is very important for the maintenance of health. The digestive system processes everything we eat and drink to supply the body with the energy and material that it needs to function, build and maintain itself. It comprises the digestive tract from the mouth through the stomach, small and large intestines, to the anus.

There are many areas in the digestive process where things can go wrong. Below we have addressed

: * Crohn's disease,

* irritable bowel syndrome (IBS),

* hemorrhoids (piles),

* indigestion, and * diarrhea.

We can reduce the risks of developing a range of Digestive System Disorders, and add many more years of healthy, active time to their life span, by eating a healthy, high fiber diet including lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, while avoiding processed foods, fast foods, and foods that are high in salt, sugar, and fat.

you may benefit from including one or more of the following foods in your diet - all of them are rich in nutrients that are particularly important to the health of your digestive system.

Ginger

Ginger is often used to settle an upset stomach or treat severe stomach ailments such as dyspepsa or colic. It is frequently used today in developing countries to treat diarhea. Ginger contains special enzymes responsible for catalyzing the proteins in your food, thus aiding in digestion and the prevention of craps.

Foods rich in fiber

Your body needs fiber. Once the missing fiber in the diet, you are prone to constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), heart disease and some cancers. Foods rich in fiber and filter to keep food in the digestive system to extract energy and nutrients, wastes also pushed back out. Please add to your daily diet you all kinds of vegetables, fiber from whole grains, whole grain products, fruits, vegetables, beans, peas, lentils …

Water

 

Drinking water between your meals cleans the stomach of the small trapped food pieces and gives it a rest so it can stop producing acids. Water also helps to clean the digestive tract of small pieces of food. Enzymes, water, and good bacteria all work together to maintain optimum digestion, nutrient absorption and health.

Avocados

Avocados are one of the best foods you can eat for digestive health. Avocados work to stimulate the healthy functioning of your digestive organs, including your pancreas, gallbladder, liver and intestinal tract.

Oats

Not only do whole oats contain plenty of soluble- fibre, they also provide significant amounts of selenium, thiamin, phosphorus, and manganese, and smaller amounts of copper, folate, vitamin E, and zinc.

If you have to choose between rolled oats and quick oats, choose the rolled variety. Rolled oats are made with a steaming process that doesn't destroy many nutrients, while quick oats are made with dehydrating and pre-cooking processes, which typically leave oats extremely nutrient-depleted.

Cod liver oil

Cold liver oil provides plenty of natural vitamin A, It also provides natural vitamin D, which we know is an extremely powerful immune system modulator, with research indicating that vitamin D may be critically important in preventing the development of autoimmune conditions, including those of the GI tract.

Plan your meals to get flat stomach

 Paln your meals to get flat stomach

If you want a flat stomach, having the right flat stomach diet is very important. And NOT eating is not going to get you there. You may ‘feel’ good but as soon as you start eating regularly or the right foods your body is going to plump up and your flat stomach is going to go away.

The biggest mistake most women make is to think that to get a flat stomach we aren’t suppose to eat. WRONG! That’s the worst thing you can do. To really get a flat stomach you should eat at least 5-6 small meals throughout the day.

Each meal should have a healthy fat, protein and some carbohydrates.

Drink lots of water. Water will flush your system of toxins and help you stay fuller for longer (keeping you away from those unhealthy snack and follow these instructions to get flat stomach.

Plan your meals

Sit down on and figure out what you are going to eat for the week. Then hit the grocery store and buy what you need to make your meals for the week. If you have everything you need to eat healthy then you can’t stray! Plus, if you pre-cook your meals, you can make lunch for the week or when you’re home after a long day – there is food in the fridge – no excuses to not eat healthy!

Almonds

These delicious and versatile nuts contain filling protein and fiber, not to mention vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant. They're also a good source of magnesium, a mineral your body must have in order to produce energy, build and maintain muscle tissue, and regulate blood sugar. "A stable blood-sugar level helps prevent cravings that can lead to overeating and weight gain," says David Katz, MD, a professor at the Yale University School of Medicine. But what makes almonds most interesting is their ability to block calories. Research indicates that the composition of their cell walls may help reduce the absorption of all of their fat, making them an extra-lean nut.

Eggs

You won't find a more perfect protein source. Eggs are highly respected by dietitians because of their balance of essential amino acids (protein building blocks used by your body to manufacture everything from muscle fibers to brain chemicals). We like them because they keep our hands out of the cookie jar. Researchers at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center found that when people ate eggs in the morning, they felt less hungry throughout the day than when breakfast consisted of complex carbohydrates like bagels.

Soy

Soybeans are a great source of antioxidants, fiber, and protein. Plus, they're incredibly versatile. Snack on dry-roasted soybeans, toss shelled edamame into soups, and slip a spoonful of silken tofu into your morning smoothie. Liquid soy also makes a good meal replacement.

Apples

A 2003 study in the journal Nutrition found that overweight women who consumed three apples or pears a day for three months lost more weight than their counterparts who were fed a similar diet with oat cookies instead of fruits. A large apple has five grams of fiber, but it's also nearly 85 percent water, which helps you feel full.

Berries

Berries Most are loaded with fiber, every dieter's best friend. The more fiber you eat -- experts say that it's best to get between 25 and 35 grams every day -- the fewer calories you absorb from all the other stuff you put in your mouth. That's because fiber traps food particles and shuttles them out of your system before they're fully digested. Berries (and other fruits) are also high in antioxidants, which not only help protect you from chronic diseases like cancer but may also help you get more results from your workouts.

 Leafy Greens

Their cancer-preventing carotenoids won't help shrink your waistline, but their low calorie count definitely will. One cup of spinach contains only about 40 calories, while a cup of broccoli has 55 calories and satisfies 20 percent of your day's fiber requirement. Most leafy greens are also a good source of calcium, an essential ingredient for muscle contraction. In other words, they help fuel your workouts.

Yogurt

People who get their calcium from yogurt rather than from other sources may lose more weight around their midsection. The probiotic bacteria in most yogurts help keep your digestive system healthy, which translates into a lower incidence of gas, bloating, and constipation, which can keep your tummy looking flat.

Veggie Soup

Veggie soups two times a day were more successful in losing weight than those who ate the same amount of calories in snack food. Soup eaters also maintained, on average, a total weight loss of 16 pounds after one year.

Walnuts

Naturopathic physician Heather Manley points out that walnuts resemble little brains, so it just makes sense that they’re good for your mind. And the science backs it up; walnuts boost memory because they’re rich in antioxidants as well as Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. An added benefit is that walnuts boost the body’s melatonin levels, which can help cure the restless nights that pregnant women often endure.

Cranberries

Cranberries are rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, cranberries have been shown to improve memory and cut down on free-radical damage in brain cells.

B12 is important for pregnant women because folic acid supplements can mask some of the signs of a B12 deficiency. Liver is the best source of B12, but is off-limits during pregnancy. A safe alternative is a low-fat version of a hard cheese, like cheddar, Swiss, or Colby.

Legumes

Lentils and beans are rich in thiamin, which is critical for cognitive function. As is the case with other B vitamins, thiamin intake needs to be higher during pregnancy; thiamin deficiency can result in depression, nervous exhaustion and insomnia. Legumes also contain high levels of iron and folate, which is important for preventing birth defects and enhances memory recall in women.

Spinach

Pregnant women need loads of vitamins, so it’s important to eat as many colorful fruits and vegetables as possible. Spinach is particularly beneficial because it’s rich in folate. Cheese can boost the pregnant women Brain.

Consuming nutritious fiber rich foods is a great way to improve our digestive system and fiber rich food also helps in lowering the levels of cholesterol in the body. It is found that, foods that have high fiber content are generally a good source of essential nutrients as well.

When we eat foods such as fruit, vegetables, bran muffins and cereal, we are taking fiber into the body. Fiber is a complex carbohydrate that is not digested. It also cannot be absorbed into our blood. The fiber in our food comes from plants. There are two different types, insoluble and soluble fiber. Soluble fiber, as its names suggests, is fiber that dissolves in water.

Soluble fiber is the type that is thought to lower cholesterol. We can obtain soluble fiber by eating oatmeal, barley, citrus fruits and dried beans. Having a high fiber diet that contains soluble fiber is thought to help with weight loss.

Benefits of Power Yoga

 

Power yoga, a dynamic fitness based derivative of yoga, is modelled on Ashtanga yoga. With new power yoga centres cropping up in every Indian metro today, it is no longer restricted within the realm of the rich and famous. Power yoga is fast becoming an increasingly budget-friendly and viable fitness option for all of us. If you’ve been wondering about whether power yoga is the right choice for you, or not, look no further. We ask holistic health expert,Mickey Mehta, to tell us about why you should consider switching to power yoga today.

 

What is Power Yoga?

Due to its up tempo and brisk nature, power yoga is essentially like an aerobic workout, where yoga poses are done faster and in continuation. Power yoga when practised regularly and under supervision helps your body achieve stability, balance, posture and tone. It is a fast paced work out and can be practised by anyone who enjoys exercising.

 

Benefits of Power Yoga :

1. Calorie burning.

2. Increases stamina, strength, flexibility and tone.

3. Promotes blood circulation and boosts the immune system.

4. Alleviates stress and tension.

5. Eliminates toxins through sweat.

 

Is Power Yoga better than other Cardio Routines or Strength Training?

An hour of power yoga burns only up to 200 calories per hour; which is lesser in comparison to other workouts like aerobics (400 calories per hour), swimming (350 calories per hour at moderate speeds) and jogging (300 calories per hour at slow speeds). But, power yoga tones your body without stressing your joints and muscles too much, which might be a plus point for older people.


Moreover, since the asanas target the spine, power yoga helps maintain proper posture while strengthening your back. An added advantage of the strenuous repetition of asanas is the stamina you build over each session. Every power yoga asana involves concentrating on your breathing and the part of the body that is being worked upon, improving your focus.

 

Our take:

If your aim is to burn fat and lose weight, you are better off opting for another kind of cardio workout like running or swimming and later take up power yoga to tone your body further. Whether it competes with strength training or not, completely depends on how regularly you practise power yoga. You’ll find equal numbers of supporters on both sides of the spectrum, some who consider strength training a far superior physical workout, and some who say that power yoga is a more holistic approach to physical fitness. The bottom line remains that whether you’re pushing weights or completing rigorous power yoga asanas, you are always supposed to focus on your breathing and regularity of workout. Aerobic exercises like power yoga and anaerobic exercises like weight lifting, both, heavily depend on the human body’s breathing function to burn calories, or build muscle tone, while strenghthening your body and building stamina.


Benefits of Banana Diet

 

Benefits of Banana Diet

 

1. Bananas are an excellent source of dietary fibre, both soluble and in soluble. The 6 gram fibre in a 2 banana breakfast can reduce caloric intake. Fibre bulks up in the stomach, lengthening feelings of fullness and pulls some calories through the digestive system before they can be absorbed.

2. It reduces the likelihood of overeating.

3. Avoidance of caffeine at breakfast results in reduced appetite and stable blood glucose levels.

4. Since dairy products and desserts are not allowed, calories are reduced by limiting fat and sugar intake.

5. Not eating after 8 p.m. reduces the tendency of late night intake of high calorie foods resulting in sound sleep.

6. Increased resistant starch consumption can increase fat burning and decrease fat accumulation.

Keeping your chest lifted, lean forward from your hips until you feel a stretch across your right glute. Hold for 3 to 5 breaths, then sit up and switch sides.


Tips On Improving Your Flexibility

 

To begin with, warm up your muscles with 10 to 15 minutes of cardio-muscular activities such as jogging, cycling, swimming or walking. Never stretch cold muscles.

 

Stretch your full body starting with the muscles in your upper body and complete shoulder. They include biceps, triceps, neck, chest and back stretches. Gradually move on to the lower body and perform core, glute, hip, hamstring, quad, calf, ankle and foot stretches.

 

Steadily, deepen your stretches and you will be able to hold stretches more easily. Every time your stretch, try to reach an inch farther than you normally do. Feel the intensity of the stretch and hold it there.

 

One of such stretches is forward stretching. Stand in an upright position with your feet together. Raise your hands and try to touch your feet. Hold the position as long as you can and feel the pain. Repeat 3 to 4 times in each session and over time, you’ll be able to bend down more with ease.

 

You can also try sideways bending. Stand upright with your legs apart. With one hand on your waist, raise the other hand and try to bend it sideways. Stretch your hand as far as possible. Reverse the position and repeat the exercise with the other hand. Repeat 3 to 4 times.

 

For calf stretching, stand upright with legs together. Elevate your body by standing on your toes. Hold the position for sometime and repeat several times per day.

 

Another excellent stretching exercise is the hamstring stretch. Stand upright with your legs apart. Bend one leg at knee and grasp your foot with one hand. Press it against your buttocks and repeat with the other leg. Perform 4 to 5 times per session.

 

While doing your stretches, breathe deeply and evenly. Do not hold your breather while stretching. The oxygen that you breathe while stretching goes directly to your muscles.

 

Prevent yourself from dehydration by drinking water which can otherwise result in muscle cramps and decreased flexibility. Hydrate thoroughly prior to stretching and after the session.

 

Never stretch past a point where you can feel pain. Do not push yourself beyond limits as you can injure yourself stretching. Flexibility will improve over time.

 

You can also opt for yoga or dance classes. In fact, dancing and aerobics are the best ways to improve flexibility.

And with vitamin C and A to boot, it helps the hair follicles produce sebum — the body’s natural hair conditioner that adds shine and strength while preventing dry, brittle hair. “A strawberry and spinach salad is a killer vitamin C combination that tastes great,” says Keller.

 

Strawberries

“When it comes to vitamin C, don’t just think oranges. Consider strawberries too,” says nutritionist Christine Avanti, author of Skinny Chicks Eat Real Food: Kick Your Fake Food Habit, Kickstart Your Weight Loss. These delicacies not only taste great, but are also loaded with skin-enhancing vitamin C, which, according to a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, may help ward off wrinkles by promoting collagen synthesis and production. Added bonus: Vitamin C’s load of antioxidants brightens skin by mopping up free radicals produced from too much sun exposure.

 

Kale, Cantaloupe and Carrots

Want a more attractive hue to your skin? Sure, a pink blush can help, but for a glow that won’t rinse away with your nightly cleanser, try adding a wide variety of colorful fruits and veggies to your diet. A new study done in Scotland found that eating foods that are rich in beta-carotene and lycopene led to a rosier skin tone among college students. What’s more, other people rated their skin as more attractive at the end of the six-week study. For the greatest skin boost, fill your plate with a rainbow of fruits and vegetables. Dermatologists say every color has its own health- and beauty-boosting benefits!

 

Asparagus

There are just 25 calories in eight medium-sized asparagus spears, but that’s enough to provide a full quarter of your recommended intake of vitamin A, a vitamin that’s essential to the maintenance and repair of healthy skin. And since asparagus is 90 percent water, the elegant veggies will help keep you hydrated. “Good hydration is fundamental to skin health and appearance,” explains Keller. As a diuretic, asparagus is also a natural way to get rid of unwanted bloat.

 

Artichokes

Who doesn’t love peeling away artichoke leaves to get to the heart? Rich in the family of vitamin B’s like folate, artichokes aren’t just good for the heart; the folate also helps encourage healthy hair growth and skin rejuvenation by promoting cell turnover. Keller recommends eating artichokes with low-fat or fat-free yogurt instead of butter so you can take advantage of dairy’s calcium, without extra calories or saturated fat.

 

Avocados

Avocados contain monounsaturated fatty acids and biotin, which help prevent dry skin and brittle hair and nails. “They help keep the skin youthful,” says Avanti. And since avocados are also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, they are anti-inflammatory wonders for heart health and circulation too.

Chocolate Keeps You Slim

Chocolate Keeps You Slim

The Independent headline was remarkably similar. Chocolate can help keep you slim. Chocolate lovers have one more reason to feel good about indulging in their favourite treat. Eating chocolate frequently was associated with a a lower body mass ... So it is not surprising that it can help keep you regular and help keep.

People couldn't believe their ears when Hollywood star Katharine Hepburn attributed her slim physique to chocolates. It sounds whack, but a new scientific study suggests that people who eat chocolate regularly tend to be thinner. Sadly, that doesn't quite mean that you can run out and stuff your face full of candy all day to keep your weight down—but it does mean you probably should be eating some chocolate regularly.

The study of nearly 1,000 US people, conducted by the University of California at San Diego, analyzed diet, calorie intake and BMI. It found that those who ate chocolate a few times a week were slimmer than those who ate it less frequently. Why? The researchers suggest that, despite containing so many calories, chocolate contains compounds that favor weight loss.

The link even remained when other factors—including exercise—were accounted for. What's more, the study, which appears in Archives of Internal Medicine, suggests that quantities aren't important; instead, it's the frequency of chocolate consumption that is linked to low BMIs.

Beatrice Golomb, one of the researchers, explained to the BBC: "Our findings appear to add to a body of information suggesting that the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their ultimate impact on weight."

The researchers suggest that the compounds in chocolate that are associated with lower BMI are antioxidants called catechins, which improve lean muscle mass and reduce weight.

Before you grab the candy, though, it's worth noting that the study observed lower BMIs in participants that consumed chocolate a few times a week, and even then the quantities didn't matter.

So, a little bit of chocolate a few times a week should be plenty. Any more, and the sugar and fat will have the dominant effect.

significance of liquid diet

 

significance of liquid diet

Liquid Diet Ideas :

 

 

Water :

Our bodies are made up of 70% water and with a liquid diet involving lots of fluids, body can get completely water replenished and fully working.

 

Water is the most essential part of any diet. Why? Simply because it removes all the chemicals and toxins from the body by flushing them out, improves blood circulation, rehydrates the body of lost water and nutrients and helps indigestion. In short, it helps in weight loss!

 

What you need to remember about a liquid diet is that only water is not enough to keep you going for a long period of time. It can be used as a part of the detoxifying diet but cannot support vital body functions on its own.

 

Honey in water is the secret to losing weight as it prevents constipation and hence is a way of removing unwanted material from the stomach. Another good cleanser is warm water with maple syrup.

 

 

Juices :

One of the best substitutes for plain water is juice. They can be made from either fruit or vegetable, the latter being more healthy as fruits contain natural sugars.

A combination of carrot and beetroot juice is said to be the best for weight loss. Juice fasting has become the latest trend among a lot of celebrities and some swear by it makes them reduce weight within a few days.

Orange juice is said to be excellent as it acts as a detoxifier and provides energy to the body. Its only disadvantage is that it creates idle acids in the body.

 

Lime juice is another good example of something that can be involved in a detox diet. It should not be consumed solely as it can corrode the inner lining of the stomach. But, on the other hand, when ingested, it has cleaning properties and helps in ridding your tummy of all toxins. Be aware that it does not provide any nutrition to the body.

 

A mixture of vegetable and fruit juices (such as carrot and apple) is commonly taken in due to its palatable nature.

Protein shakes are given in times of extreme cases, when the diet is continued for a longer period of time. They are available in the market for instant use.

 

Before involving yourself in a weight loss program using liquid diets, it is highly recommended that you visit a nutritionist or a doctor to help you prescribe one for your body type.

Top Weight Loss Food

How Much does Wonder

How Much does Wonder Woman Weigh ?

A woman's ideal body weight is dependent upon her height and age.

The taller you are the how much does wonder woman weigh? She weighs about as much, unrealistically, as a 6'0" woman who is extremely athletic and very powerful: 64 kgs(140 lbs). TBH, I suspect that there's some fanboy wish fulfillment going on here, and that she's been given measurements which are disproportionate to her abilities and to reality(at least as far a comic book can go anyways, lol).

A woman of any average size with an athletic frame is going to weigh quite a bit more than this, with 6'+ women in the WNBA hovering around 170lbs...and even then, those ladies look rather skinny compared to the full-figured and powerful Wonder Woman, lol. On top of this, I would expect that because she is created from clay by the Olympian gods that she would also bear some additional extra mystical weight which would allow for her super-strength, durability, etc.

Of course, it could be exactly that extra mystical aspect which accounts for her super-abilities...such as making her heavier and more dense under certain scenarios, such as during combat, etc. and more like normal weight when she's under more civil conditions(so as not to crush buildings or supporting structures, etc), she *can* fly, after all.

Just eyeballing it, I would more realistically put Wonder Woman's weight at somewhere about 175-225 lbs *at least*, if not WAY more...like in the multiple hundreds if we're talking about mystical Olympian clay-flesh that is "as strong as the earth"(and for those of you screaming that this would make her the same weight as Superman, just keep in mind that I have the same preconceptions about him as well).

How Many Calories to Lose Weight

How Many Calories to Lose Weight?

How many calories to lose weight calculator, weight loss calculator, how many calories to lose a pound, how many calories to lose weight per day: One of the top reasons diets fail is because people eat too few calories. When you do this, you force your body to slow down its metabolism. This causes all kinds of hormonal changes that work against you and your fat loss goals.

The best way to determine how many calories you need is to follow these steps:

* Once you find the calorie intake that causes you to add weight, start to subtract 500 calories per day for every pound you want to lose per week. If you want to lose 1 pound per week, then subtract 500 calories per day. If you want to lose 2 pounds, then subtract 1000 calories per day.

* Set a goal of how much weight loss/gain you desire each week.'

* Watch the scale. Is your weight going up or down?

* Plan your exercise program. Make sure you have a combination of resistance training and cardio.

* Get yourself a food journal so you can write down every single thing you eat. You should be writing down the calories for everything.

* Eat 2,000 calories per day. Plan your diet out in advance so that you know you are eating this much every single day. Fill your calories with healthy meals. Here are over 100 healthy recipe ideas.

* If when you started off eating 2,000 calories you immediately started gaining weight on a week to week basis (for at least 2 straight weeks), then you can go ahead and start cutting calories.

* If it’s going down, add 500 calories to your diet. Your goal is try and find how many calories you need to eat before you start to put on weight.

* Once you find this calorie amount, congratulations, you’ve just found that magic number that everyone is seeking – the calorie number that all future weight loss/gain formulas are based off of.

* If after adding 500 calories your weight is still going down, add another 500 calories per day until your weight increases on a week to week basis. Do NOT be afraid of adding a pound or two in the beginning. Everyone wants to see the scale go in one direction only. This isn’t going to happen.

* The important thing is you find the calorie amount that is going to enable you to eat as many calories as possible and still lose weight. This will keep your fat loss progress going, and ensure that the weight you lose is fat instead of muscle.

Weekend Diet Tips

Weekend Diet Tips

Weekend Diet Tips, Weekend Tips Diet, Weekend Diet Meal Plan: The most common weekend pitfall is when dieters think they can splurge on the weekend because they have been through a tough week. It is normal to feel the need for a reward when you have been working hard. But, instead of rewarding yourself with food, try something else.

 Perhaps you could buy a book you've been wanting. if you just have to have some type of food reward, try choosing one portion of a favorite food. Be sure this food is a treat. It is not as much of a reward if you eat something you have all the time.

Another common belief is that if you go out, you have to eat more that you normally would. A good way to get past this is to plan activities that center around food. You could do something such as shopping or visit a local exhibit of art. Eating lunch out instead of supper is a way to eat less, but still enjoy a meal outside of your home. 

When you have worked hard all week, sometimes all you want to do is relax during the weekend. However, don't let your exercise program go by sitting on the couch all weekend. This can lead to a longer period of putting off exercise. Go ahead and sit on the couch and watch television, but set a time limit. And, sometime during the day get up and participate in some type of physical activity. It doesn't have to be vigorous, but it should get your body moving.

It is also a major stumbling block to believe you cannot eat healthy because of your obligations. Even when you have errands, grocery shopping and chores around the house, you can make time to eat right. It doesn't take a lot of planning to produce a healthy meal. It just takes a bit more effort than pulling out the cold cuts and making a sandwich.

Even if you are busy on the weekends, you should be sure to take a bit of extra time to stay on your healthy eating plan. Your health should not be put on the back burner to a busy schedule. Take the time to plan your meals and don't use rewarding yourself for hard work as an excuse to go off your diet.

3. Eat unprocessed foods : Like most other nutrients, 20 to 60 percent of the vitamin B1 content in wheat is lost when it's processed. Processed foods tend to be less nutritious all the way around than fresh, wholesome foods.

4. Store your food properly : Because vitamin B1 is sensitive to temperature changes, storing food in your fridge for too long can cut its nutrient content. Try buying fresh foods as you need them instead of buying them in bulk.

Make Lifestyle Changes Weight Loss

Make Lifestyle Changes Weight Loss

To begin with, in choosing to follow a strict diet, you aren't really focusing on lifestyle changes. Sure, you can follow a diet for several months and lose a bunch of weight if you are strict about it but what if you decide that you don't want to follow some rigid plan concocted by someone else for the rest of your life? You might decide to go off the diet and then you will most likely gain back at least some of the weight. So, what are you to do if you really are serious about losing weight but are skeptical of dieting? Make lifestyle changes.

* Commit to win – When planning new weight-related lifestyle changes remember that permanent weight loss takes time and effort, it will not be an overnight success.

* Set realistic goals – Think about the process and the outcome when setting goals. Use the word SMART when creating goals; which means to make them Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Trackable. To say that you are going to lose 5 pounds a week might not be attainable where as to set a goal to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week might be more realistic.

* Make a decision to enjoy healthier foods – Decreasing calories does not have to mean giving up all good tasting foods. Sometimes a simple switch can be to prepare your favorite meal at home verses picking it up from a restaurant or fast food establishment.

* Find exercises you enjoy – It is important to get active and stay active. One must find ways to burn calories through physical activities that you can enjoy.

* Seek emotional support - Find others to provide emotional support to help you through the stressful times when you want to stop and or get discouraged. You have to be responsible for your own actions, however having support of a loved one can assist during times when your nutritional diet appears not to be working.

* Make the decision to change your lifestyle – Gradual changes of habits like reducing the number of times that one eats out and changes in attitudes that say, “you can’t lose weight” can begin your journey into making lifestyle changes toward the weight you want to lose and keep off. Eating healthy foods and exercising vigorously for a few weeks and then stopping will not work.

Weight Loss Advice Diet, Stick Your Diet, Lose Weight Fast, Best Weight Loss Diets: People can get slimmer in six months without dieting. The more fat you stop eating, the more weight is lost, says a new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA).

* Lee Hooper from UEA's Norwich Medical School, who led the study, said the regime led to consistent lower weight for at least seven years.

* "The weight reduction that we found when people ate less fat was remarkably consistent - we saw it in almost every trial. Those who cut down more on fat, lost more weight," she said, according to the Daily Mail.

* "The effect isn't dramatic, like going on a diet. The research specifically looked at people who were cutting down on fat, but didn't aim to lose weight so they were continuing to consume a normal amount of food," added Hooper.

* The systematic review included results from 33 randomised controlled trials, lasting six months to eight years, involving 73,589 men, women and children with varying states of health.

Losing Weight Is as Easy

Losing Weight Is as Easy

We all have heard this so many times, educate a woman and you educate the whole family. A woman always has the capability to change the outlook of the family.

One step that you take towards healthy lifestyle, your family and your kids take a big leap forward! In a health magazine, once I read about an overweight woman who lost lot of weight.

She said that when she was fat, she always used to ask her kids to buy packet of chips. Chips were a constant feature in her life and her kids’ life. When she shifted to healthy eating so did her kids.I have seen it myself.

* There was once a time when my husband stood at 96 kgs and I at 86 kgs. I had a pantry full of fried snacks and instant pasta and noodles. We would chomp off a large pizza together accompanied by large servings of garlic bread and cold drink.

Movie at home will be watched only with 2 large bags of butter pop corns (I had all the flavored packets, 1 box had 6 packets and I at a time used to have 6 boxes at least).

* My freezer always had a bag of French fries (what if guests come, there should be something to serve them but month after month it was us who finished those big bags), outside frozen quick meals and outside frozen parathas (made of white flour), pizza dough. Pizza dough was a constant feature in my freezer. We always used to stock up enough of the dough and mozzarella.

So, whenever we wanted to have something different (which was most of the days in the week), all we had to do was pile sauce on pizza dough, some cut veggies and lots of cheese and in it will go in the oven. Me and my husband used to have 2 medium size homemade pizza each.

* So, what happened when I changed my outlook towards food? My freezer now has paneer, corns, spinach, peas and beans, homemade rajma and daal makhni. You will not find any pop corn bags in my house nor will you find loads of fried snacks nor any frozen quick meals and pizza dough.

* Both I and my husband have started moving towards more whole grain diet which includes lots of veggies. When our relatives look at us they try to make changes themselves, that’s the beauty of healthy life, people always appreciate it and they tend to adopt it


Tips to Say Goodbye to Love Handles

Tips to Say Goodbye to Love Handles

Congratulations on delivering your bundle of joy! As you get back to your routine life now, you wish your belly would return to its pre-pregnancy phase too. Did you think that the moment the baby is delivered you will be on your way to a flat stomach?

Well, you are not alone in thinking like that. The fact is that though you have lost the bulk of the pregnancy weight, you still have to deal with some extra belly fat and unless you pay attention to it, the muscles will stay flabby.

Fat loss also helps in reducing the risk of various diseases, helping you take greater care of your baby and enjoying life to the fullest.

Diet: A well-rounded diet with fruits, vegetables, legumes, lean meat and low-fat dairy products boosts your metabolism and keeps you away from adding kilos.

Diet Tips of Slim Women

Diet Tips of Slim Women

Wondering how slim women maintain their weight? Shape experts share diet tips related to women who maintain their healthy eating habits and those who don't the secret to weight loss is to make small changes each and every day and you will slowly lose those kilograms.

* The habit of eating healthily on a daily basis. Eat loads of fresh fruit and vegetables throughout the day. This is certainly going to help with your cravings for junk food and just after a few days you will be feeling much healthier and fitter.

* Start and finish your eating for the day early. Eat breakfast as early as possible,and finish your day off with an early dinner and a no-eat-after-8pm (for example) policy. Your body is most active during the daytime, which means that it will burn more calories then than at night.

* Avoid late night snacks as they can prevent you from losing weight. As said earlier,your body is less active at night, meaning that you have a greater chance of turning that slice of pizza into pure fat than burning it as a source of energy.

* Eat your vegetables.Vegetables, especially raw ones, burn more calories than those packed in the vegetables themselves. Also, the fiber in vegetables gives a sense of fullness.

* To Be honest with yourself. If you know you have a weakness for chocolate chip cookies,buying a two-pound bag to keep in the house may give you more temptation than you can handle; if you know you do not have a lot of energy in the morning, it can be self-defeating to plan on jogging every morning before work.

Gluten is mainly found in wheat, rye, barley, triticale and malts. People on a gluten free diet have several choices to eat as there are many healthy and yummy foods that are naturally gluten-free, for example - fresh eggs, beans, seeds, nuts, fresh meat, fruits, vegetables and most of the dairy products.

Information about celebrity weight loss tips, celebrity diet secrets, celebrity fitness secrets, celebrity tips for quick weight loss and more.

Angelina Jolie

Looking a little on the thin and frail side for the past couple of years, Angelina Jolie needed to be believable as a tough-as-nails CIA agent in her newly-released “Salt”.

* She ate about five small meals a day and stuck to a diet of 70% carbs and 30% protein, and actually avoided cardio, to help “put muscle on without losing weight, says trainer Simon Crane. (Are you sure about that, Simon? She ate absolutely NO fat?).

* Jolie cut out the junk food and only drank alcohol on weekends. In the gym 5 days per week – 2 hours a day – a combination of strength and fight training. Once shooting began, training volume was ratcheted down and Jolie was put on a “60% carb, 40% protein diet”.

Sammi Sweetheart

Apparently there’s a show called “Jersey Shore” that’s now in its second season. One of the cast members, Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola dropped 15 lbs. before the second season.

* I just changed my diet, and the next thing you know the pounds just came off…

* Amazing. It was noted that this loss was despite partying it up in Miami.

* Yup, changing your diet for the better does work. I don’t recommend boozing beyond an occassional drink whilst trying to lose fat, however, but when you’re young you can get away with it to a greater extent.

Demi Moore

The ageless Demi Moore who has always taken her health seriously has gone from the very restrictive Master Cleanse to a “healthier” cleanse one where you are generously allowed to eat salads for lunch or dinner.

* When a follower on Twitter had the temerity to suggest that sound nutrition and exercise is all you need, Demi blasted back with,

* I think you need to research what it is I am doing, there is no starving involved! It is all about nourishing the body

* Yes, because evidently we can’t “nourish” our bodies with real food and exercise. Sounds like a fellow graduate of the “Gwyneth Paltrow School of nutritional stupidity”.


Diet Before Running

 

Diet Before Running

 

Follow A High-Carb Diet :

For a vigorous run, carbohydrates are highly essential for providing the maximum energy, apart from fats and proteins. Though our body stores a significant amount of carbohydrates, it demands more energy for running. Thus, to exceed the amount already stored, you have to supply your body with more carbohydrates. Hence, your diet should ideally comprise of 60% carbohydrates, 20-30% proteins, and 10-20% fats. Include high-carb foods like breads, pasta, noodles, cereals, rice, couscous, and fruits and vegetables in your diet days before you are preparing for the run. Further, do not miss on digging into large portions of complex carbohydrates, such as spaghetti, pasta, brown rice, potatoes, grainery bread, bran, corn, and peas. On the day of the run, consume your last solid meal at least two hours before the race to avoid cramping or nausea.

 

Have Plenty Proteins :

Most runners believe that proteins help in improving performance and hence, they ultimately end up gorging on copious amounts of protein-rich foods. Though proteins are essential for rebuilding broken or damaged muscles, including too much protein can affect your workout negatively since they take longer time to digest compared to carbohydrates. However, for those who cannot go without proteins, consider low or non-fat dairy products, lean meats and legumes, such as beans and lentils.

 

Drink Lots Of Water :

Keeping yourself dehydrated during the run can adversely affect your health, resulting in nausea and cramps. Thus, make sure that you do not run on an empty stomach and keep yourself hydrated. Even during your race, if you’re given an option to choose from food and fluids, always go for fluids. You can opt for fruits if they are on the menu.

 

Decent Fatty Foods :

Fats serve as a great source of energy once the carbohydrate stores have been burnt out. But they have only one drawback. They do not digest easily and hence, can impair performance. Nonetheless, you can consume a decent amount of fatty foods, such as flax oil, salmon and olive oil. But as you gear up for the race, keep your fat consumption minimal, something like a peanut butter spread on toast or a small cup of yogurt.

 

 

To sum up, eat good and nutritious pre-run meals as you prepare yourself for the great run. With the above listed ideas, what to eat before running would no more be a mystery. Enjoy gorging and healthy running!


How to Reduce Butt Fat

How to Reduce Butt Fat

Everyone desires a shapely derriere. Lean buttocks signify good health. While many people invest in surgeries and cosmetic fixes, the process of reducing butt fat can simply begin from home.

Proper Diet :

* If you wish to reduce fat, the first step is to curb unnecessary calorie intake. Avoid consuming, deep-fried junk foods, aerated beverages and excessive sweets.

* A diet rich in fibre and essential nutrients will help metabolise fats, faster. Have smaller meals, well spaced out throughout the day, instead of having three large meals.

* Invest in crunchy salads, fruit juices and plenty of water, to lose weight effectively.

Exercise

* Regular exercise is the key element in maintaining a good physique and ensuring overall well being.

* Rigorous cardiovascular exercises, when done regularly, prove to be a boon for shaping fat buttocks.

* Running, swimming, dancing, or even exercises as homely as climbing stairs have shown good results.

* With exercises designed specifically for stronger and leaner glutes, one can work out from the comforts of their homes and still receive effective results.

* For novices who cannot squat or do a lunge, this alternative method provides effective results. Lay down on a mat with your knees bent and your feet, flat on the ground. As you lift your buttocks off the ground, clench your glute muscles. Gradually bring your buttocks to the resting position and unclench your muscles along the way. Performing this exercise twice with 15 repetitions, along with a dumbbell for increased resistance, will provide excellent results.

* Use a stability ball to perform this exercise. Lie with your face down and feet flat on the floor. Without shifting your weight to the hands, slowly lift your buttocks till they are parallel to the ground. Keep your legs joined. Gradually lower them to the resting position. Practice this twice, with 15 repetitions each.

* Squats are, undeniably, the best exercise to strengthen your butt muscles. You can perform this exercise using resistance bands for greater benefits. Stand with your feet apart. Bend your knees and attempt at sitting down on the floor, without actually sitting. In the crouched position, your back needs to remain straight and your knees need to remain behind your toes. Slowly rise back to your starting position. Practice this exercise twice with 15 repetitions each.


Breathing tips with Woodchopper Pose

 

Steps To Do The Woodchopper Pose :

 

Stand straight with your legs wide apart and your shoulders squared. You can clutch your knees slightly. Now raise your hands above your head and clasp them as if you are holding an axe. Breathe in and while exhaling, bend down with full force as if you are chopping wood. You are supposed to exhale with a 'ha' sound that is typical while doing hard labour. Pass your hands and head in between your legs when you bend down. Raise yourself to the standing position and start all over again.

 

Benefits Of The Woodchopper Pose :

 

This yoga pose is mainly a breathing exercise. It opens up your lungs to suck in more air. This pose also helps to release tension that can cramp your muscles. In the old times it was a common saying that hard labour relaxes you. So in this pose you are basically imitating the motions of hard labour so that you can release pent up tensions and stress. Releasing stress is also helps you breathe easy. If you are looking to have a flat tummy, this an excellent yoga pose to try. The sharp bend works on your abdominal muscles. It also helps to improve digestion. Additionally, this yoga pose also works on your hamstrings and thigh muscles. Sports-persons are generally prone to hamstring injuries. The woodchopper pose comes as a very good workout for them.


Weight Loss Myths Busted Diet

Weight Loss Myths Busted Diet

The beginning of the year is the time when most people who need to shed some pounds turn to informercials and the Internet in search of their weight loss myths busted tips.

* Just make sure that your breakfast is composed of healthy stuff like sprouts, juices, etc and it's not equivalent to the heavy meals you enjoy at weddings.

* All you need to figure out is which carbs are good for you instead of worrying about the overall carb intake. Rely on veggies, fruits, and high-fiber whole grains (but do not indulge in gluttony).

* Just stop devouring food which is bad for your health. For instance, if you're watching a late night movie on television force yourself to not eat junk food like ice creams, chips, burgers etc, rather go for salads, fruits etc.

* While total intake of calories does matter, the source from which you get them is also important. You get almost the same number of calories from a handful of almonds and 3 apples as you would get from a cheeseburger and coke.

* Inform you but there are no miracle pills, potions, creams, belts and shoes which can help you grow muscles or cut flab in no time (as they might claim). These supplements may help but then you have to supplement them with right dietary and fitness programmes to extract the benefit out of them.

Helpful Winter Diet Tips

Helpful Winter Diet Tips

However, we then turn back into this cycle of trying to lose weight after a winter of eating what we want when we want. So, how can you maintain staying lean and trim in the winter?

Fall and winter are the most challenging times of the year to stick with a diet that promotes weight loss and healthy eating, and if you're already struggling with getting into a healthy eating routine, it's even harder to stay on track as the holidays begin.

* Eating a wholesome breakfast of fruit, oatmeal, or low-sugar cereal each morning will curb your appetite throughout the entire day. It can also boost your metabolism, so you'll be burning calories all day long with very little effort! Eating breakfast at home also makes it easy to forego those calorie-laden muffins, donuts, and other temptations at the office.

* Rich and creamy soups may be soothing fix on a chilly evening, but you can get the same comfort from a bowl of vegetarian chili or broth-based soup instead. Cheese and Potato Soup can easily cost you between 350-400 calories per serving and over 20 grams of fat. Broth-based soups generally range from 150-200 calories per serving and just 5-10 grams of fat.

* These can be made in reduced sugar and lowfat versions, and the denser ingredients make a much more satisfying sweet bread or dessert. Choose organic whenever possible for a wholesome meal or side.

* Preparing meals at home is one of the easiest ways to get into healthy eating mode, and you can find dozens of healthy recipes on the internet or cookbooks. Take some time to put together a meal plan and even get creative with low-fat cooking in your hearty meal favorites. Even simple items such as macaroni and cheese, pasta bakes, and apple cobbler can be made with healthy ingredients and substitutions.

* The warm bread rolls and pillowy foccacia bread at the table can easily lead to weight gain, especially if you pile on the butter and rich spreads of the season. Opt for crackers or veggies to accompany your meals, and save the extra carbs and calories for a treat instead.

* Chocolate and baked goodies abound during Fall and winter, and it can be easy to overindulge with all the festivities. Allow yourself one treat per day so you can still enjoy what you really want, but just in smaller portions throughout the week.

How To Lose Thigh Fat Fast For Girls

Do you need to know how to lose thigh fat? We all have different body shapes, and pear-shaped women are more prone to having thigh fat than others. However, this doesn’t mean that anyone else is immune to the horrible title “thunder thighs”. If you feel unhappy with your thighs and want to know how to lose thigh fat, there are several steps you can take to focus on losing weight around your legs. Losing weight around your legs is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it’d be healthier for your legs: Chafing and extra weight for your legs to carry around isn’t good. Read on for 8 Fantastic Tips on How to Lose Thigh Fat.

1. CLIMB STAIRS If it’s conceivable, avoid taking the elevator and climb stairs wherever you go to help lose thigh fat. This raises your metabolism and works your thigh muscles. This is a simple tip which doesn’t require you to drastically go out of your way to do, and is a great way to tone your leg muscles. To be the most effective, it’s best to use a good technique. Lean a little forward from the hips and keep your back straight.

2. JOG Jogging is a lot easier than running, and one of the best forms of cardio exercise. It burns fat and calories and is also beneficial for your whole body. However, jogging may eventually hurt your knees and ankles so make sure you have good shoes or run on grass. Generally the best time of day to jog is in the morning as there is more oxygen in the air which helps burn more calories.

3. CYCLE Cycling is another great form of exercise that works your legs, especially your thighs. This tip on how to lose thigh fat requires you to buy/use a bike, or go to the gym. However, it would be worth it as you could also use it to save money on public transport or driving, which is also better for the environment. Cycling builds stamina, endurance and is a great toning device for your legs!

4. WALK BRISKLY Don’t just stroll when getting around to places, walking briskly is another way to lose thigh fat that doesn’t require any special effort. Power-walking burns calories and trims down fat in areas more than just your legs.

5. SQUATS WHILE HOLDING WEIGHTS This sounds horrid and strenuous but is one of the most effective ways to lose thigh fat. Grab some manageable weights in each hand (a bottle of 500ml water would do), bend your knees with your back straight at a 90 degree angle and repeat. Do this slowly and carefully, until you feel your thighs burn! Do this regularly and expect toned leg muscles in no time.

6. LEG EXTENSIONS Another fantastic tip on how to lose thigh fat. This is easy but requires a leg extension machine. All you have to do is sit in the machine and extend your legs. Do this slowly as rigorous stretching can damage your muscles.

7. DRINK LOTS OF WATER Drinking water aids your metabolism and flushes out any mild toxins in your body. Dehydration is a huge source of low metabolism and health because your liver needs water to convert fat into energy. One tip is to drink water even when you don’t feel thirsty, because thirst is a sign that you are already dehydrated!

8. EAT HEALTHY Eating the right sorts of food will help raise your health and reduce fatty intake. A diet with a low calorie intake will obviously help reduce fat, but make sure you don’t cut out carbohydrates and other food that are essential in giving you energy to exercise.

I hope these tips on how to lose thigh fat have given you some thoughts and inspiration on how to tackle “thunder thighs”. The easiest ways to lose thigh fat is to just walk more often, climb stairs and focus on exercise that works your leg muscles. After at least two weeks of regular exercise you should notice a change in your legs and your confidence! Do you have any more tips to add to our 8 Fantastic Tips on How to Lose Thigh Fat?

Weight Loss Tips for Teenage Girls

Weight Loss Tips for Teenage Girls

Looking back, I realize that had I known of several simple ways to tweak my diet (eating habits), I could have been quite lean. As a teen, I thought I knew all there was to know about dieting and weight loss, too. Looking back, I realize I didn't know all that much.

* Increase daily intake of fruit. This will help keep you satiated.

* Don't "blow your diet" because you overate at lunch. If you pigged out at lunch, let that be, let it go, and you start all over again when school is out: Snack on something healthy.

* Eat breakfast, but make it nutritious (fruit, yogurt, whole grain cereal, scrambled eggs with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, etc.). A meal replacement drink will also work, and there are many of these on the market.

Stay away from the more commercial ones and stick to ones sold at health food stores or Whole Foods.

* Relative to exercise, the best time to eat is within 30 minutes of finishing exercise, when your body's calorie-burn-rate is at its highest.

* Never punish yourself or feel bad about yourself when you "slip up" on your diet. If you've been dreaming about a pancake breakfast for weeks, then go ahead and have a pancake breakfast.

Figure out ahead of time how much to prepare so that you're not left with extra batter which will tempt you to overeat.

* Make changes in your diet that you can stick with long-term. Avoid any changes that are extreme or very difficult to stick to; this is asking for trouble. In other words, if you absolutely love ice cream, it's totally unrealistic to plan on avoiding ice cream for the rest of your life.

Allow yourself to have a reasonable portion of ice cream every so often. Trust me when I say this: People who have lost weight and kept it off allow themselves to occasionally indulge.

* Have a green salad every day, no matter what else you have eaten.

* If you and your friends are planning on going somewhere where you'll be very tempted to over-indulge, then plan on it. Trying to fight it will make you miserable. But do not starve yourself the day before or even that day, in an attempt to create room for all the calories you anticipate.

Eat as you normally would, because this way, you'll have less room to over-indulge.

* Never take up smoking, thinking it will subdue your appetite. This might happen, but along with it will come awful breath, stained teeth, foul-smelling hair, clothes and skin that stink like an ashtray...give yourself some credit and believe that you can lose weight without resorting to a stinking,

* Avoid diet sodas and other diet drinks like the plague. Artificial sweeteners may increase appetite, plus cause other side effects (like headaches) that you may not even make the connection to.


Diabetes Diet Meal Plan

Diabetes Diet Meal Plan

One of first thing you get to hear from any doctor about planning a diet, will be about how important your breakfast is.

There are couple different opinions on whether one should eat heavy or light for their breakfast. Breakfast means exactly what it says, breaking the fast that one takes from the dinner to the next day morning, which is about 7 - 8 hours.

It must be some 15 years back when I this dietitian, who prescribed to the fact that breakfast should not be heavy.

The only that was allowed was Tomato juice. The reasons she cited was, since you already enforced a fast on the body, the moment you introduce food, body tends to accumulate and store maximum calorie possible. The tomato juice was supposed to be drunk over a 15 minutes period, making sure the body gets used to the sudden supply of nourishment.

The same dietitian whom I met again recently has changed her views and now advises one to eat some sprouts along with the juice.

The food has to be light and yet filling. This Jowar Drink that Athamma makes is very filling. It takes time to break down to glucose and tastes great too.

Ingredients Needed:

* Whole Jonna/ Jowar - 1 cup

* Salt to taste

* Curds - 2 tbsp

Method to prepare:

* Wash and soak the jonna in water for a day. Then shade dry the jowar. Grind it in a mixer to a coarse grains. This is more like rava.

* This can be stored and used when required.

* Take required amount of rava and add 2 times it's water and bring to boil.

* Curds or Milk can be added to this for drinking. Adding curds with salt makes this a great way to start the morning.

Inner energy and inner peace for busy people like us, is not just about sitting in lotus position and chanting ‘om’.

Those who have heard about the Chinese martial art “TAI CHI” may have come across “QIGONG” before.

Also known by its full name of “Taiji Qigong”.

A set of 18 exercises that are used to promote the body’s natural healing energy to reduce stress levels and increase your quality of life.

How does it work?

Focusing on postures and breathing, qigong is aimed at improving physical and mental health. ‘The exercises can help to promote the body’s natural healing energy, reduce stress and create a feeling of wellbeing,’ explained by Ronnie Robinson the director of Taiji Europa.

You know Acupuncture, don’t you - The Chinese theory of internal energy pathways, or meridians, through which ‘qi’ or ‘chi’ – energy – flows through.

Ronnie explains. ‘When the energy flow is regular the body will remain healthy. However, if there are blockages in this energy flow, problems can result.The interruption can be due to stress, poor eating habits, or even being too hot or too cold, creating a build-up which energy can’t freely flow through. Taiji Qigong art helps you to clear these blockages so that the energy can flow through the meridians with as little disruption as possible.’

Taiji Qigong is Simple -

The movements are simple, slow and gentle, yet effective in restoring energy. The body is kept in alignment throughout, and breathing is soft and natural. You may not get your heart racing in qigong, but you’ll certainly benefit physically.

Just like how birds don’t carry their stress and strains in their bodies, we too have to do it in the similar fashion. Try to follow the smooth, easy, natural movements that you see in the rest of nature.’

Give Qigong a go-

Perform each move 8-10 times one after another to create a flowing routine. It is ideal performed in the morning for a gentle start of the day or you may also do it in the evening to unwind after work.

Tips While doing Taiji Qigong-

Listen to your breath Adopt a soft, natural breathing during the movements. Be aware of your body although aches and pains are sometimes normal, don’t overdo it.

Listen to what your body is trying to tell you - ‘Sink’ your weight and ‘lighten’ your upper body to establish a connection with the ground by imagining your weight dropping deep into the earth, while your upper body floats upwards.

The fact is, your upper body may be heavy with tension while you find it hard to keep your feet firmly on the ground.

Maintain alignment Keep a natural arch in your back and neutral spine, the way we’ve evolved. Focus and intent Connect with all the movements you’re making and the directions you’re going.

Be natural Think of the movements you see taking place in nature and try to follow suit.

Best Liquid Diet for Weight Loss

Best Liquid Diet for Weight Loss

The very first thing is to understand what these set-ups are all about. The liquid diet weight loss program is a very low calorie approach that removes all thought from the picture. All you have to do is drink the beverages that you’re provided and weight for the fat loss to take place.

* Any weight loss program and you'll find that water just has to be a part of it. This is one of the most needed ingredients in a liquid diet weight loss program.

* Water, like I said before, helps to completely flush out all the chemicals and toxins of the body. It helps in improving blood circulation, helps in digestion of the food better and in a natural course of things, helps with weight loss.

* This ingredient has to be followed no matter what other forms of diets you're following. * But just water as a weight loss diet regime is not recommended as it does not provide you any nutrients and the like. It may be used in a detox diet but never for a longer period of time.

* Juices of any fresh fruit or vegetable are used as one of the best ingredients of a liquid diet.

* According to experts, the best juice to have for weight loss is a combination of carrot and beetroot juice.

* These will provide all the essential nutrients that are required by the body.

* For best results have juices that are raw and organic and not suffused with added salts and sugars.

* Fruit juices are not as beneficial because, fruits when had whole and raw provide better nutrition for the body.


Lemon Juice Diet

Lemon Juice Diet

However, before you attempt to go through this type of cleansing diet, you must see your doctor ensure that you are healthy enough to do the fasting.

* This one involves using lemon juice mixed with warm water for consumption as one of the best liquid diet weight loss ingredients. Lemon juice mixed with water has been used for years in several weight loss programs. But should you use it solely? Not at all.

* While lemon juice helps to cleanse and detoxify the body, and thereby, helps in weight loss, it does not provide any nutrients to the body. Besides, if had in a concentrated form, lemon juice can corrode the entire stomach and intestinal lining and cause harm.

* Even though this article deals with the best liquid diet for weight loss, I strongly recommend consulting a nutritionist before getting onto one of them.

* Our bodies are not meant for an only liquid diet and there is the tendency to put all that shed weight right back on after you discontinue these liquid diets.

* The better way to go about this is to include it as a part of a detox program that you carry forth once or twice a month. This not only keeps you healthy but helps you to lose weight fast as well.


Natural Weight Loss

Natural Weight Loss

Natural weight loss occurs easily and effectively when a wise combination of a well-balanced diet and workouts are obeyed persistently. This occurs mainly because of the natural components present in the weight loss supplements, as they accelerate the metabolic rate in people who consume them regularly. On the other hand, certain type of ingredients reduce food cravings and diminish eating cravings that occur mainly because of unnecessary stress.

* Eat early and never miss a breakfast. Eating the majority of your daily caloric allotment early gives your body time to work those calories off, so it's best so it's best to have a healthy breakfast.

* Eat slowly. It tales time for the brain to send signals of fullness, so it may take some time before you know you're full. It helps you control your diet and lose weight.

* Avoid weight loss pills. Period. Why? Because it is dangerous both physically and psychologically. So if want to lose weight do it naturally.

* Go for a walk after a meal. It helps in complete digestion.

* Sugar is not good for your body. The more refined it is, the more damage it will do your body.

* Try making better decisions to breaking bad older habits.

* Try to be more active in your everyday life. Try to walk unto people's desks at work rather than e-mailing them.


స్లిమ్ గా మారాలంటే నడవాల్సిందే...!

 

శారీరక వ్యాయామాల్లో నడక అంత సులువైనది మరొకటి లేదని చెప్పవచ్చు. ఎలాంటి ఖర్చూ ఉండదు. జిమ్‌కి వెళ్లక్కర్లేదు, వ్యాయామ సామగ్రి అక్కర్లేదు, శిక్షణ అవసరం లేదు.

ఉదయం పూట నడవటం వలన ప్రయోజనం అధికంగా ఉంటుంది. అదీ అవకాశం ఉంటే చెట్ల గాలి పీలుస్తూ నడవటం మరింత ఆరోగ్యకరం. ట్రాఫిక్‌ పెరిగిన తరువాత సాగించే నడక వలన వాహనాల నుంచి వెలువడిన కాలుష్యాన్ని పీల్చాల్సివస్తుంది.

నడక పూర్తిగా అలవాటు లేని వారు ఒక్కసారిగా నడవటం మంచిది కాదు. మొదట పది నిముషాలు, పావుగంటతో మొదలుపెట్టి తరువాత పెంచుతూ పోవాలి. వారానికి ఒకసారి ఈ కాలపరిమితిని పెంచుతూ పోవచ్చు. రోజుకి నాలుగయిదు కిలోమీటర్ల వరకు నడవవచ్చు. వారానికి 30 కిలోమీటర్లు, నెలకి 100 కిలోమీటర్ల వరకు వాకింగ్‌ చేయవచ్చు.

నడకని మొదలు పెట్టేటపుడు ముందు కొద్ది నిముషాలపాటు నెమ్మదిగా నడవాలి. తరువాత నడకలో వేగం పుంజుకోవాలి. నడిచేటపుడు చాలా నిటారుగా ఉండాలి. శరీరాన్ని ఎక్కడా వంచకూడదు.

భుజాల్లో ఏమాత్రం పట్టులేకుండా చూసుకోండి. అలాగే చేతులు కూడా శరీరానికి వేలాడుతున్నట్టుగా వదిలేయాలి. రెండుకాళ్లు ఒకే తరహాలో అడుగులు వేస్తూ నడక సాగించాలి. శరీరంలో ఏ భాగమూ హెచ్చుతగ్గులతో ఒంగకుండా నిటారుగా ఉండేలా చేతులు ఊపుతూ నడవాలి. మోకాలు, తొడల ప్రాంతంలో కదలిక తేలిగ్గా ఉండేలా చూసుకోవాలి.

ఈ విధంగా ప్రతిరోజూ నడవడం వలన ఏ అనారోగ్యం కూడా మన దరికి చేరాడు. ఈ విధంగా ప్రతి రోజు నడిస్తే స్లిమ్ గా మారుతారు.

Have lunch at 3 pm to lose weight

Have Lunch at 3 pm to Lose Weight

People lost 25 percent less weight if they ate lunch after 3 pm, a new study has found. The study followed 420 Spanish people in a weight-loss program, Fox News reported. However, the study doesn't mean that you should eat earlier-in fact, you might want to do the opposite.

The Spanish are known for making a late lunch the biggest meal of the day, so the study's authors couldn't say that the findings would apply in the US. That said, other new research does show that when you eat-not what you eat-can turn on your body's fat-fighting genes.

Until Mr. Thomas Edison lit our evenings, we rose with the sun, worked, ate, played, and slept. That's what your hormonal cycle is designed for. Now, our schedules are more like eat-work-eat-work-eat-sleep.

The average American eats 3.5 times per day, according to research from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences -and that's only counting meals of at least 70 calories or more, not the handful of chips you grab between commercial breaks. In other words, our modern schedule has thrown our bodies' clocks completely out of whack-and along with it, our metabolism.

The result - it's easy to get caught in a "fat cycle," a constant flow of hunger hormones that makes you prone to cravings. For some people, that's no biggie. They consume a moderate number of calories, exercise regularly, and are happy to soothe their hunger pains with fruit and other healthy snacks .

But it's a major problem for others - those who've tried (and failed) to moderate calorie intake, those who have tried (and failed) to resist sugary treats and those who've tried (and failed to finish) other traditional diet plans. For this latter group, intermittent fasting may be the answer.

New research from the Salk Institute and other experts suggests that by confining you’re eating period to 8 hours a day, you can stop the fat cycle and spark your body's natural flab-burning mechanisms.

That could mean skipping breakfast, but eating what you want for lunch and dinner. Or skipping dinner, and having a grand slam breakfast and lunch. The findings are published in the International Journal of Obesity.

ఫిట్‌నెస్ రహస్యం మన చేతుల్లోనే

బాడీ ఫిట్‌నెస్‌తో మైండ్ ఫిట్‌నెస్ కూడా సాధ్యపడుతుంది. అది ఎలా అంటే...మంచి ఆహారం, వ్యాయామం శరీరానికి కావలసిన శక్తినివవడమే గాక ఉత్సాహాన్ని పెంచి మనసును ప్రశాంతంగా ఉంచుతాయి. తద్వారా ఎంతటి క్లిష్ట సమస్యనైనా ఎదుర్కోగలిగే సామర్థ్యం పెరుగుతుంది. అందుకే ఉత్సాహంగా, ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉండాలంటే క్రమం తప్పక వ్యాయామం, పోషకాహారం చాలా అవసరం.

* బరువు పెరుగుతున్నట్లు తెలియగానే చాలామంది వెంటనే తినడం తగ్గించేస్తుంటారు. ఇలా చేయడం వల్ల ఒకేసారి ఎక్కువ ఆహారం తీసుకోవలసి వస్తుంది.

* ఒకేసారి ఎక్కువ ఆహారం తీసుకోవడం వల్ల గంటలో జీర్ణమవగా మిగిలింది కొవ్వుగా మారిపోయి శరీరంలో నిలవ ఉంటుంది. తద్వారా కొవ్వు పరిమాణం పెరిగి బరువు పెరుగుతారు.

* దృఢమైన శరీరానికి ఉపయోగపడే ముఖ్య పోషకాలు కార్బోహైవూడేట్లు. ఈ చక్కెర పదార్థాలు దాదాపు అన్ని రకాల ధాన్యాలు, పప్పులు, కూరగాయల్లో లభిస్తాయి.

* కాబట్టి ఒక్కసారి ఎక్కువ లాగించేకన్నా కొద్ది కొద్దిగా ఎక్కువసార్లు తినడం మంచిది.

 

ఇకపోతే ఫిట్‌నెస్‌ను పెంచే మరో ముఖ్య కారకం వ్యాయామం. కావలసినదాని కన్నా ఎక్కువ శక్తి చేరినప్పుడు ఆ కేలరీలన్నీ కొవ్వులుగా మారి ఫిట్‌నెస్‌ను తగ్గిస్తాయి. కాబట్టి వాటిని కరిగించాలంటే క్రమం తప్పని వ్యాయామం అవసరం. వేగంగా నడవడం, జాగింగ్, సైక్లింగ్ వంటి ఏరోబిక్ ఎక్సర్‌సైజులు దృఢత్వాన్ని పెంచుతాయి. వ్యాయామం వల్ల మెదడులో ఎండోమార్ఫిన్లనే రసాయనాలు ఉత్పత్తి అవుతాయి. ఫలితంగా రోజంతా ఉత్సాహంగా, ఆనందంగా ఉంటుంది. వ్యాయామం ఇలా చేయండి.

Importance of Eating Your Breakfast

Importance of Eating Your Breakfast

A healthy breakfast should have appropriate amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals, and some healthy fat too.

Pick out at least one food from each of these categories and you’ll never go wrong with your breakfast.

If you skip this meal, hunger pangs make you feels starved by noon, causing you to overeat at lunch, which in turn makes you sluggish, and pile on the calories.

A healthy breakfast improves concentration, provides energy, boosts your activity levels and helps in lowering cholesterol.

If you are out of time and effort, you may try these quick breakfast options:

* Suji idli with yoghurt

* Vegetable sandwich with boiled eggs

* Cheese toast with fruits

* Oatmeal with fruit and curd smoothie

* Cereal sprinkled with dry fruits, and a glass of orange juice.

* Toast with scrambled eggs and a fruit

* Crackers or toast with peanut butter

* Patties made from boiled beans and vegetables, and dry fruit milkshake.

* Dosa are idli All South-Indian items are high in proteins and fiber.

* Protein: Go for poultry, fish, peanut butter, eggs, poha, aiming for at least 5 grams protein content. An egg contains 6g of protein and 72 calories, and has been recommended by the Journal of American College of Nutrition as ideal food which makes one feel satisfied for long.

* Calcium: Include milk, cheese, paneer, curds, and fortified orange juice.

* Vitamins and minerals: Have fruits and vegetables. Fruits eaten raw are better than juices which take away the fiber content.

* Grains: Can be had as cereals, toast (brown bread), muffins, pancakes, muesli, oats, porridge, crackers, etc. A Harvard study shows that people who eat cereals for breakfast lose weight more consistently than those who don’t.

Your ideal cereal should have at least 5 grams of fiber.


Diet in Summer Season

Summer and hot season always reminds of sweat and dehydration but with some efforts and by following some simple diet tips, you can avoid these. You can enjoy summer to its fullest by taking some healthy, fresh and seasonal summer diets to stay hydrated. Are you looking for such diet tips? Here provide you with some healthy diet tips for summer which will help you a lot in enjoying summer in a healthy way.


1. Drink plenty of water because with high temperatures, body looses water and sodium in the form of sweat. Whether you are at job, in kitchen or in a car, always keep a bottle of fresh water with you, so that you can drink it when you feel dehydrated.

2. Summer is a good season to take fresh fruits and vegetables so that you can keep your diet on track. Eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables as they not only provide you with essential nutrients but also help in loosing weight. Actually fresh fruits and vegetables have high amount of fiber in them which makes you feel fuller for longer period of time. Fruits and vegetables are also beneficial because they control blood sugar and prevent body from absorbing fat.

3. Try to eat those fruits and vegetables in your diet which have a large amount of water like melons, water melons, oranges, onions and cucumber. Besides hydrating your body, these fruits and vegetables will also help in reducing your body temperature.

4. I strongly recommends you not to take junk and fast food during summer time. These fried foods make you feel lethargic and have a heated thermal effect on your body.

5. Avoid taking carbonated, alcoholic and caffeinated drinks in summer. The reason is quite clear. Actually, these drinks and beverages contain preservatives which cause a lot of water loss through urination.

6. Mostly we drink chilled drinks during summer season but it should be avoided because chilled liquids tighten blood vessels and as a result these constricted and tightened blood vessels reduce body heat loss and have harmful effects on your body.

7. Winter fruits and vegetables like spinach, beetroot, grapefruit, garlic and pineapple should not be taken because these fruits and vegetables produce heat in your body.

8. Avoid spicy, salty and hot foods. Don’t take hot dogs and burgers. Instead of these, try to eat grilled chicken and green vegetables.

9. Drink fresh fruit juice to restore nutrients which you loose in form of sweat.

10. Most of the people like to have salads but don’t watch whether they are healthy or not. I mean that people often start taking all kinds of salads including those having lots of cream and mayonnaise. Such salads are not good in summer time so you should take healthy pasta salads containing olive oil and fresh vegetables.

Honey is not a magic food which when taken regularly helps you to drastically lose weight. It has 82% sugar and 17% water content in it along with other ingredients. So it is not a miracle food which can help you shed weight.

Raw honey (milky in appearance) which is the unfiltered honey from the bees has enzymes present in it, making honey easily digestible.

As proper digestion is the key for weight loss, raw honey can be used in place of sugar. In processed honey, where honey is filtered and heated this benefit is lost.

Commercial honey is cleaner and smoother but its vitamins and minerals would have been partially destroyed due to heat.

Not being regular (constipation), can leave you bloated and a few kilograms heavier. So to kick start your metabolism and also cleanse your body you can drink warm water with few drops of lemon juice and honey.

Diet Tips To Help You for Better Sleep

Diet Tips To Help You for Better Sleep

 

 

Eat Foods Rich in Tryptophan :

Tryptophan is an amino acid that the body uses to produce serotonin, which slows nerve activity and calms the brain. Eating foods rich in tryptophan, such as turkey, milk, cheese, peanuts, and bananas, could help you lull off to sleep a little quicker.

Focus on Whole Grains :

Aim to make three of your daily carbohydrate servings whole grain. You can achieve this by having a small bowl of whole-grain cereal, a slice of whole-grain bread, or a half cup of brown rice or barley. Some experts even recommend having a bedtime snack consisting of complex carbohydrates, which can help prevent low blood sugar, which could contribute to poor sleep.

Try Chamomile Tea :

Sometimes all it takes to fall asleep is going to bed with the confidence that you will fall asleep. A nice cup of warm tea before bed will probably help you drift off nicely.

Eat Iron-Rich Foods :

 Eating more iron-rich foods such as red meat, shellfish, clams, tofu, lentils, or beans. If restless legs keep you awake, it's possible you could have a form of anemia caused by iron deficiency; consult a doctor to know for sure. When eating more meats, eat it for lunch rather than dinner because its protein could counteract the sleep-inducing serotonin.

Drink Water :

Or juice. Drink anything but coffee, hot chocolate, or tea within six to 10 hours of bed. Studies show that the caffeine in even one cup will rev your circuits enough to reduce both the length and restorative depths of sleep. It may also wake you during the night for a trip to the bathroom.


Should Thin People Exercise

Should Thin People Exercise


Ever heard someone say, ‘You’re so thin, why do you need to exercise?’

This is another misconception that plagues our society – Thin people don’t require exercise.

Our body is meant for exercise. If not through weight gain, lack of exercise may have other adverse effects in your body which will manifest themselves sooner or later. It’s also very important to remember that exercising is integral for various other body functions.

Another myth is that if you’re thin and blessed with a fast metabolism, you can have whatever you want and how much ever you want. Dr Pooja seconds this, ‘Unhealthy food is not biased towards thin people. It is bad and it is going to affect your body whether it shows or not.’ An incorrect diet affects digestion adversely and leads to rise in body toxins which may lead to other diseases.

Moreover, since we tend to overeat when eating such foods it automatically reduces our capacity to eat anything else.

‘Fast foods are zero on nutrition but high on satiety value. Once you’ve eaten a cheeseburger, you won’t have space for anything nutritious,’ says Dr Pooja.

Even though we can’t see it visually damaging us, unhealthy food on a regular basis builds up cholesterol and triglycerides. This in turn leads to hypertension, artery diseases, etc. Shah adds, ‘If not today, it will take its toll 20-30 years from now. Just because you can’t see it, it doesn’t mean that it’s not there.’

సోనమ్ కపూర్ ఫిట్నెస్ రహస్యం

ఈ మధ్య కాలంలో ముప్పై అయిదు కేజీల బరువు తగ్గిన సోనమ్ కపూర్, తన ఫిట్నెస్

రహస్యం ఏమిటో మనం ఆమె మాటల్లోనే తెలుసుకుందాం !

ముందుగా నేను మా అమ్మకి థాంక్స్ చెప్పుకుంటూ, తన సహాయంతో వారానికి ఆరు రోజులు వర్కౌట్ చేసి మరీ నేను ఈ బరువు తగ్గాను.

ఉదయం బ్రేక్‌ఫాస్ట్ చేసేటప్పుడు కొన్ని ఫ్రూట్స్, ఓట్ మీల్ మాత్రమే తీసుకుంటాను. ఆ తరువాత వర్కవుట్ స్టార్ట్ చేస్తాను. దాని ముందు ఖచ్చితంగా ప్రొటీన్ షేక్ విత్ జ్యూస్ , బ్రౌన్ బ్రెడ్ విత్ గుడ్డు తెల్లసొన మరిచిపోకుండా తీసుకుంటాను.

ఇక మధ్యాహ్నం భోజనం చేసేటప్పుడు కూరలు, పప్పుతో ఒక రాగిరొట్టె, చికెన్ లేదా ఫిష్ ముక్కలు, ఫ్రూట్ సలాడ్ తీసుకుంటాను.

అలాగే సాయంత్రం స్నాక్స్‌ తినాల్సి వస్తే ఉడకబెట్టిన గుడ్డులోని వైట్ లేదా చికెన్ ముక్కలు, ఫైబర్ వీలైనంత ఎక్కువ మోతాదులో తీసుకుంటాను. రాత్రి పూట డిన్నర్ చేసేటప్పుడు ఏదైనా సూప్, ఫిష్ లేదా చికెన్ పీసెస్, ఫ్రూట్ సలాడ్ తీసుకుంటాను.

ఒక తినడం వల్లే ఫిట్నెస్ వస్తుందనుకోవద్దు. తినడంతోపాటు యోగ కూడా చేయాలి. నా ఫిట్నెస్ ముఖ్య కారణం యోగా అని కూడా చెప్తాను. భరత్‌ఠాకూర్ దగ్గర పవర్‌యోగా నేర్చుకున్నాను. ఆ యోగా నేను బరువు తగ్గడానికి బాగా ఉపయోగపడింది. బాడీ ఎప్పుడు డీహైవూడేట్ అవ్వకుండా చూసుకోవడం ప్రధానం. అందుకోసం ఎక్కువ నీళ్లు తాగుతూ ఉండాలి.

Although this may seem rather unpleasant, the tradeoff is that you get to eat whatever you want on those other five days. No calorie-counting and no off-limit foods.

 

The Health Claims :
 

The first half of “The FastDiet” details the emerging research (done mostly on rodents) on intermittent fasting.

Prefer Curd for Healthy Diet

 

Curd has been used since ages as a beauty product. When applied on the face, it acts as a natural bleaching agent. When applied on the hair, it smoothes and nourishes the scalp and hair making it shiny and lustrous. Curd is a constant accompaniment in South Indian meals and is found in different forms- buttermilk, curry and raw forms.

Here are a few tips that can help you understand the benefits of eating curd in the right amount everyday:

 

1.Lose Weight :

According to a study, consuming 18 ounces of curd daily can help you drop inches off your waistline. Nutritionists say that the fat that gets accumulated in the belly region result in the production of a hormone called cortisol. This cortisol promotes further accumulation of fat in the belly region. The calcium content of curd prevents the action of cortisol and helps you reduce fat, especially from your belly.


2.Prevents High Blood Pressure :

Excessive salt intake can lead to high blood pressure. Most of us, due to our hectic work schedules and erratic lifestyles, are addicted to fast food joints and street food, which results in unnecessary intake of excessive salt. The potassium content in curd helps in flushing out the excessive sodium in the body, thus restoring its balance and preventing high blood pressure.


3.Rich in Probiotics :

Most brands that sell curd in the market today add good-for-health bacteria or probiotics which regulate your digestive system and boost your immunity. These probiotics act in the digestive tract of the body and purge it of harmful bacteria which cause diseases such as intestinal infections. This is why people suffering from stomach upsets feel relieved after consuming curd.


4.Pool of Vitamins :

Curd is a reservoir of important vitamins and minerals that are essential for the healthy functioning of the body. In a 100 gm serving of curd, you get 141 mg of phosphorus, 121 mg of calcium, 155 mg of potassium, 46 mg of sodium, 12 mg of magnesium, 5.1 g of proteins, 4.7 g of carbohydrates and essential vitamins such as Vitamins A, C, K, B12, B2, riboflavin, folate etc.


5.Helps Recover Post Work Out :

Not all curds have the same amount of proteins and vitamins ratios. You should check the back label of the pack and select a product that offers the maximum protein to carbohydrate ratio if you want to use it as a good post work out recovery agent. Greek curds are believed to be quite effective as its protein content provides amino acids that help muscles repair. Drinking some water after having curd improved the rate of absorption and hydration of the body.


Busy Moms Fitness Tips

 

Exercise is an important part of our life. Exercise helps you relieve stress, makes you feel good about yourself. You need not get up early at 5:00 am just for your exercise.


If you’re a busy mom, how do you begin to find time for exercise? Here are a few suggestions.

3 Fitness Strategies for Moms
 

Get others around you on board with your commitment:

if you have a maid, well that's okay. You can devote enough of your time for exercise. If not, stop searching for a cover story. You can ask some one from your home to look after you kids. Well, that may be your husband or your father. They definitely wont ignore your request for your fitness sake.

• Schedule it as part of your day just like anything else:

Scheduling is the most important thing for any of your works. It applies for your exercise too. Just like you have certain time for lunch, dinner and all, spare some time for the workouts. A single day of workout doesn't bring you much change.

Get creative:

exercising creatively is an art of course, you can hang up with your loving kids and exercise with them. Or play games with your children. That itself gives you a great relief. Tell them some rhymes with some dance moves. Avoid 'lack of time' kind of excuses.


Watch your calories not your Veggies

Watch your calories not your Veggies

Eating  fruits and veggies alone can’t help you lose weight. But eating more of green leafy vegetables also  won't help you lose weight or  also won't make you gain weight, which may be just as important. So what is  that you need to follow in your diet for weight loss. Fruits and veggies, say researchers, can often fill you up and take the place of higher-calorie foods. And they're obviously a great source for getting your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. So don't skimp on the fruits and veggies just yet. According to a new study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham found that eating fruits and vegetables actually has little to no impact on weight loss. Researchers examined data from more than 1,200 test subjects, and found that across the board, eating more healthy fruits and vegetables "had a near-zero effect on weight loss," said Kathryn Kaiser, of the UAB School of Public Health, who helped lead the team. Instead, the people who had the most success with losing extra kgs were those who cut their total calorie intake -- no matter what it was they were eating.

So the key to weight loss is not fruits, veggies or leafy stalks but the overall intake of your calories that you consume through them that helps in losing weight.


Exercise during those Periods

Exercise during those Periods

 

 

There has been a never ending debate about whether you can exercise when you have periods. The traditional belief which is also endorsed by Ayurvedic physicians and old school of medicine which say that a woman must rest during menstrual flow is slowly changing. Yoga is banned during those 3-5 days  but fitness and weight loss which are the buzz words in the health scenario has seen a change where women are seen exercising during periods and  with the Sanitary napkin ads nowadays are also showing that you can exercise and not feel uncomfortable during “those” days.

So we know that it is not impossible to exercise but if you have those usual cramps and pain in the stomach we suggest that you take rest till the phase of discomfort is over. Alisa Vitti, the author of WomanCode, and an expert on says that women need to be sensitive to the neuro-hormonal changes happening in their bodies while planning their exercise regimens.

Follicular stage : Right after your period ends, in the follicular stage (7 to 10 days), you'll have fairly high energy levels. Vitti suggests you try a new cardio routine. "You have more new neural pathways being created during this phase, and they're more easily connected, so you're more likely to stick to a new exercise plan."

Ovulatory  stage :
In the ovulatory phase (3 to 4 days), right after the follicular stage, you'll be at full energy levels, and can go for an even more intense work out. "This is where we have a sharp rise in hormones, including a dramatic increase in estrogen and a nice surge of testosterone," explains Vitti. So a boot camp wouldn't be out of the question.

Luetal stage: In the luetal phase, which lasts for 10 or 12 days, you'll start to slow down a bit. "Your energy may still be high if you're healthy," Vitti says. But as estrogen and progesterone decline, you'll slow down. That's when, suggests Vitti suggests strength training .When you reach the menstrual part of your period, you'll want to take it easy, and stick to low intensity workouts like walking or yoga. Trust us, your uterus will thank you.

Zumba for your butts

Zumba for your butts

 


The latest Latin American high intense dance exercises has taken the world by storm. Known for its quirky moves which are high intense and extremely fast they make you sweat and burn your calories and help in weight loss. This unique dance form is also extremely helpful for those who have tough time trying to cut the rear end of the body what we mean is the butt!

Ways To Build Muscles Without Weights

 

It is important to eat not just well, but eat voraciously if you wish to flaunt a sinewy self, without burdening yourself with weights. However, that doesn’t mean that you go lavish with your food habits or stuff your tummy with junk foods. The cue is to gorge on high protein diet, without compromising on the quantity. If you have little idea on how much to eat, just double up your calorie count and feel the bulging difference.

 

If you are trying to add more muscle to your frame, staying away from the treadmill would help. Cardiovascular exercises tend to burn both fat and muscles, which makes the body grow lean. If you are into cardio exercises, cutting down on your time by half would help you build muscles, without compromising on your fitness.

 

Stretching has more benefits than one can possibly imagine. So, if you are planning to put on some muscles, stretching out your tendons would help them bulge out better. Stretching is recommended both before and after workouts to avoid injuries and sprains and relax muscles too. Stretching is also known to add up to body flexibility and keep the muscles agile and fit.

 

Many people make the mistake of working out only on specific muscles that they wish to build and not on others. Do not do that. This will build those muscles, but will not make the overall frame look balanced, giving your body a bulky look. No one likes a bulky body, right? So, keep your daily work out balanced. Focus on a full body work out rather than isolated muscle building. This would be the best way to gain muscle.

 

If you are eyeing to pack in some extra muscles sans weight exercise, going for supplements would make a huge difference. Often normal diet fails to fill up for that extra nutrition. In that case, you can add up supplements to enhance nutrition quotient in your diet. You can resort to whey protein or other body building supplements to get quick results. However, taking supplements won’t be just enough. You will need to work out simultaneously for the supplements to show right results.

 

Body building is never an easy bet and it needs real motivation and dedication to achieve results. It is important to replenish your body with a healthy diet that is high on nutrition. Remember to include loads of fruits into your diet. Bananas are possibly the best bet in this case. Bananas will not only boost your stamina and pep up your energy levels, but will also add glow to your skin. It is important to cut down on alcohol and smoking, if you wish to have long-term results. Addiction of intoxication will only impede with your stamina.

 

Did you know that you could build muscle in the bed as well? Body packs in more muscles when it rests. Thus, a good night sleep is crucial to muscle building. Just catch up with your eight hours of sleep and watch those muscles popping out.

Indoor Workouts for Women

 

Squats :

You need: very little space and, if you can invest, a pair of dumbbells – heavy or light depending on the intensity with which you want to keep going (even without dumbbells the exercise can be done).

Keep your feet slightly apart and bend your legs at the knees, keeping your back straight at all times. Try and push your buttocks out to achieve this.

The lower you can sit and stand, the better the exercise is.

Do about 20 reps of two times.

If you are using the dumbbells, then hold them out in front of you (at an arm’s distance away from your body).

 

Flexibility Exercises :

You need: a considerable amount of space to move your arms around.

Stand with your feet together, slowly circle your arms so that you stretch your upper body.

Do this about 5 times with both arms.

Then, sit down and extend your knees out straight. Pump your ankles up and down to stretch the leg muscles out too.

This exercise reduces the excess fat on both your arms and legs.

 

Jumps :

You need to be careful of the ceiling for this particular exercise! Also, it warms the body up tremendously (for those living in cold conditions).

All you have to do is jump as high as you can. But, if you aren’t used to working out regularly, then you can start slow and low.

Beginners can do about 20 jumps and can slowly move onto about 50 jumping jacks. Do about 2-3 sets each time for breathers.

This calls for a solid weight loss and toning of the leg muscles too.

 

Yoga :

You need a mat to lie on and immense patience! It is an unconventional way to lose weight.

The goodness of power yoga is that it quiets your mind, limbers your body and energizes you to the maximum.

For example. Take a mat and lie down. Slowly breathe in and out. As you are breathing in, push your stomach out and as you are breathing out, pull the same in. Continue this slowly for about 10 times.

It is an excellent way to lose tummy fat and it includes a good breathing technique.

Diet Tips For Controlling Weight

 

1. Have Lots Of Fruits & Vegetables :

How many times have you heard this? Almost always, right? How many times have your followed this tip? Almost never, isn’t it? Well, it is about time you realized the importance of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Apart from helping you maintain a healthy weight; they also provide you with a lot of nutrients and keep your body fit to fight a large number of diseases. So, try to use them as a substitute for the high-calorie snacks.

2. Stick To Whole Grains :

White bread, white rice, pasta, refined wheat flour - all these food items need to be kept at bay, if you want to control your weight. Rather, switch over to unprocessed foods, like whole grains, legumes, and limited amounts of lean animal protein. Even after consuming these items in as much quantity as processed foods, you will end up with much fewer calories. Now, here lies the secret to that fit body that you always lusted after!

3. Eat More Fiber :

Include lots of fibrous foods in your diet. Why? This is because fiber makes you feel full sooner and at the same time, stays in your stomach for much more time than other food items. In other words, it also helps you feel full for a long time, by slowing down your rate of digestion. Yet another benefit of fiber is that it makes fat move faster through our digestive system, bringing down its absorption level. Last, but not the least, fiber helps keep our blood sugar at a consistent level.

4. Cut Down on Sugar :

While you do not need to avoid sugar completely, it sure is a good idea to cut down on it, especially in processed foods like bread, ketchup, salad dressing, canned fruit, applesauce, peanut butter, and soups. Don’t get tempted by the food items labeled ‘fat-free’, as even they contain some amount of sugar. Fat-free does not mean calorie-free. So, take care to have sugar in moderation and always look out for its ‘hidden sources’.

5. Stay Away From Bad Fats :

It is very important to select the right type of fats. Foods like cheese or the food items that have been deep-fried are dripping with fats as well as calories and need to be avoided as much as possible. Even many salad dressings, mayonnaise, and other condiments are high in fat content. So, even if you are taking salad, you will end up adding lots of fat to your body. Try to stick to fat-free alternatives, like fat-free yogurt, mustard, ketchup and barbecue sauce.

6. Indulge In Dietary Fat :

While you need to cut away the bad fats from your diet, you should not eliminate fats altogether. Dietary fat is not only good for the body, but also necessary for its proper growth and development, since it helps in building body tissue and cells. At the same time, it aids the absorption of a number of vitamins and other nutrients as well. So, make sure that you eat enough good fats i.e. the one present in a food item naturally.

Tips To Stay Thin

 

1. Apples :

Apples are a good source of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber not only contributes to a healthy digestive system and reduced cholesterol, but it also benefits smart eaters by yielding no calories while keeping them satisfied.

And there's something else about the fruit that might help you feel full. A study in the journal "Appetite" found that when women added either three apples or three pears to their daily meals, they lost more weight than people who added three oat cookies to their diets -- even though the fruit and the cookies contained the exact same amount of dietary fiber.

2. Almonds :

If you're looking for a tasty midday snack, a handful of almonds are a well-regarded option. A study in 2009 in "The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" found that women who ate nuts at least two times a week were more successful at keeping weight off than those who didn't eat this food.

3. Salmon :

If you're uncertain about fish, there's no need to fear. Seafood can be part of a healthy diet. And there's some evidence that the fat in foods such as salmon can boost satiety levels, says Aragon. For example, a study published in the "International Journal of Obesity" found that when dieters ate salmon a few times a week, they lost about two more pounds than those who didn't include seafood in their meals.

And in spite of the mention of salmon's fat content, the food is relatively low in calories. One 3-oz. serving has just 175 calories. Salmon is a good source of protein as well.

4. Eggs :

There's no doubt that protein, like fiber, has impressive satiating powers. And while eggs seem to have a bad reputation in some circles, there can be no contesting their ability to help keep your weight in check.

Research has shown that eating eggs at breakfast can help you fight weight gain all day long. A study reported in 2008 in the "International Journal of Obesity" found that when dieters ate two eggs for breakfast for five days out of the week, they lost 65 percent more weight than dieters who consumed a bagel in the morning. Although protein is likely to fill you up whenever you eat it, some scientists suspect that having more in the morning can keep you feeling fuller all day long.

5. Tomatoes :

It's true that most veggies make for great diet fare. Non-starchy vegetables in particular, such as carrots, celery and spinach, are filled with fiber. Like other foods high in fiber, they can help keep you feeling satiated.

Plus, they're pretty self-regulating, says Aragon. You can't really overeat with nonstarchy vegetables. After all, how many baby carrots can a person eat without needing to dunk them in some ranch dressing?

So while there are many veggies that can help you stay slim, tomatoes might be a particularly good option because they're so tasty. And, besides, with that whole a-tomato -is-a-vegetable-no-it's-a-fruit argument, you might have forgotten all about eating them. One cup of cooked, red tomatoes contains just 43 calories, but tastes just as delicious as any number of high-calorie foods.


పుట్టగొడుగులు....ఎముకల బలం కోసం

 

ఎముకలు బలంగా ఉండాలంటే.. రోజుకు మూడు లేదా నాలుగు పుట్టగొడుగులు ఆహారంలో ఉండేలా చూసుకుంటే మేలని ఆరోగ్య నిపుణులు అంటున్నారు. సాధారణంగా ఎముకలు బలంగా ఉండాలంటే విటమిన్‌ D పుష్కలంగా తీసుకోవాలి. ఈ విటమిన్‌ D చాలా తక్కువ ఆహార పదార్ధాల్లో లభిస్తుంది.

మనకు చాలినంత విటమిన్‌ D లభించాలంటే చక్కగా పుట్టగొడుగులు తీసుకుంటే చాలని శాస్త్రవేత్తలు చెబుతున్నారు. ఎందుకంటే వాటిలో విటమిన్‌ D పుష్కలంగా ఉంటుందని శాస్త్రవేత్తలు గుర్తించారు. అందుకే డి విటమిన్‌ లోపంతో బాధపడేవారు పుట్టగొడుగులను తీసుకుంటే మేలని చెబుతున్నారు.

మనిషి రోజంతా చాలా చురుగ్గా ఉండడానికి పది మైక్రోగ్రాముల డి విటమిన్‌ అవసరమని, ఈమేర డి విటమిన్‌ మూడు, నాలుగు పుట్టగొడుగుల్లో లభిస్తుందని శాస్త్రవేత్తలు సూచిస్తున్నారు.


కండరాలు పట్టివేస్తుంటే ఏం చెయ్యాలి...?

 

కండరాలు అకస్మాత్తుగా బిగుసుకుపోయి, గట్టిగా పట్టేసి విపరీతమైన బాధ కలిగిస్తుంటుంది. వీటిని మజిల్ క్రాంప్స్ అంటారు.

నిద్రలో కాలు లేదా తొడ లేదా పిక్క కండరాలు పట్టివేస్తే కాలు నేలకు ఆన్చలేనంతగా బాధగా ఉంటుంది. అలాంటప్పుడు పాదాన్ని నేలకు ఆన్చి కాసేపు తిరగాలి. కొద్దిసేపట్లో బాధ తగ్గుతుంది. శరీరంలో ద్రవాలు, ఖనిజ లవణాలు తగ్గడంతో ఈ పరిణామం సంభవిస్తుంది. కాబట్టి దీన్ని నివారించేందుకు లేదా మళ్లీ పునరావృతం కాకుండా ఉండేందుకు ఎక్కువ నీళ్లను, ద్రవాహారాన్ని తీసుకోవాలి.

ఖనిజ లవణాలు ఎక్కువగా అందడానికి గాను కొబ్బరినీళ్లు తాగడం మంచిది. ఇలా తరచూ కండరాలు పట్టేసేవారు అరటిపండ్లు, నట్స్ ఎక్కువగా తీసుకోవాలి.

 


Important Foods that help in weight loss

 

Weight loss on a raw food diet is quick and practical. Best of all, it’s totally natural. With raw food, you don’t need to drink processed shakes, count calories, or swallow terrible-tasting (and ineffective) pills. Our bodies were naturally designed for fresh, raw foods.

High Fiber and Water Foods:

Many of the organic, unprocessed and high alkaline foods on the raw food diet are leafy vegetables, mushrooms, wheat, sprouts and barley grass. These foods are high in fiber and are also high in water. High fiber and high water foods leave the body feeling more satisfied after eating such food. When you are less hungry, you tend to eat less and the result of eating less is surely weight loss.

 

 

The chemical makeup of the main foods on the raw diet is what that causes weight loss in dieters. Secondary to this reason is the dietary restriction of so many other foods that are cooked, processed and not organic. The elimination of so many types of foods also restricts the overall amount of calories going into your body and thus leads to weight loss.

When your blood sugar runs low, this can trigger intense cravings that tempt you to reach for some sort of processed junk food to give your body a quick fix. A good raw food diet weight loss tip is to reach for piece of fruit when you feel a hankering for unhealthy food.

Fruits contain simple sugars that can divert your body’s attention from temptation! Feel free to snack on as many fruits as you would like, and you will maintain a steady, healthy blood sugar level throughout the day, making you less likely to reach for not-so-healthy alternatives.


Walking helps you to stay fit

Protein food for weight loss

 

The moment it enters your mouth, protein starts winnowing your waistline. High-protein foods take more work to digest, metabolize, and use, which means you burn more calories processing them. They also take longer to leave your stomach, so you feel full sooner and for a longer amount of time. The cumulative effect has obvious benefits for anyone who is watching her weight.

Protein is doubly essential for making sure you lose fat, not muscle. Your body uses the amino acids in protein to build lean muscle, which not only makes you stronger and more toned but also fries calories even when you're not active—unlike lazy fat. Ultimately, this keeps your metabolism humming along at high speed so you can burn off the occasional ice cream or barfi, no problem.

While nuts, whole grains, and veggies technically count, they don't contain all nine of the amino acids your body needs in order to build lean muscle. Those that do—known as complete proteins— are typically found in animal products. Your best flat-belly bets are skinless white chicken or turkey, seafood, low-fat dairy, pork tenderloin, and lean beef.

Vegetarians need to be a little more creative. Pairing incomplete proteins—peanut butter on wholewheat bread, or brown rice and beans, all pulses and sprouts. Even milk products like curd, tofu, paneer, cheese, etc, have an abundance of protein. Here's one example, though a quick Internet search will uncover hundreds of delicious protein shakes:

• 8 oz skim milk

• 1 banana

• 1 tbsp peanut butter

• 2 scoops of protein powder

The beauty of protein is that with so many tasty options, getting your daily dose is a simple pleasure.

Weight maintenance not weight loss

Weight maintenance not weight loss

Learning how to maintain your current weight helps women stick to healthier lifestyles andlose weight.

Tight, strict regimes, exercises and diet restrictions seem to be a very fast track way of losing weight but they sure don’t last long because of their low feasibility and complexity. So, I would say, simple changes in your daily lifestyle would be easier on you to switch.

Skip fast food, watch less TV, and cut their daily caloric intake by just 200 calories a day.

If you’re a person who’s been unsuccessful at losing weight, the best thing you can do is try not to gain any. Include a large amount of seasonal fruits and fresh vegetables in your diet. While having a meal, stop eating as soon as you feel, you can have two more spoons or morsels. Satiating your hunger is much different from filling your stomach. Start your meal with a fresh veggie salad and end it with a fruit as dessert. Skip soda and drink water instead, or order a side salad with your meal instead of French fries—the simpler the change, the more likely you’ll continue doing it and eventually keep off (or lose) weight.

Exercise to increase height

 

Height has always been an issue with many people especially when there comes a comparison with the peers.

Stretching, yoga, proper posture and a balanced diet will help gain a good height.

Hanging fully above the ground, from a bar helps the body to stretch uniformly. Apart from hanging for about 10 minutes, 10 repetitions of pull ups or chin ups per day have a great impact on height.

Sports like basketball, tennis and badminton are all great ways to promote growth hormones in the body and help you grow taller. Running, swimming and cycling are also great options.

Last but not the least; a good posture is a must to become taller.

Ways to build muscles

 

It is not just the male protagonist of a film, who needs to pump up volumes of muscles to look hot and happening. We women now-a-days are looking into developing muscles in the right places to look great. The sporty look is in!

A correct balance between diet, exercise and sleep will do the trick.

Increase your calorific, protein and fat content. You read it right. Fat in right quantities helps your muscles build well.

Rather than having two or three large meals during the day (something we've grown up with) change your eating habits so that you are eating five or six smaller meals during the day. To help keep your protein intake high, one or two of those meals can be a protein shake. Eat clean and frequently, lifting weights lowers the body’s defence system as it repairs the torn muscles, vitamins are therefore vital to boost the immune system. Lift heavy, rest often.

Exercising every single day is very beneficial. Don't worry you won't harm yourself because your muscles rest in your sleep. So, do not forget to get enough sleep. Weight training, circuit training and strength training are great ways to start the build up. Limit your cardio training and ask your trainer to give you specific muscle exercises.

Well, as the saying goes, nothing comes overnight. Consistency matters.

Tips to reduce belly fat

 

Belly fat not only makes an ugly impression of the person wearing it, but also is an indicator of bad health.

So, everything boils down to having a healthy lifestyle by including a good diet, some exercise, good sleep and stress management, to have a healthy flat tummy.

The greatest cause for fat around belly in many Indian women is ‘Rice’. Yes. One of the main staple foods of Indians, Rice is rich in carbohydrates and causes a fattening of the area around the belly. Don’t stop eating it totally. Instead, switch to brown rice. A fiber-rich diet may help. Include beans, gourds, and cucumber in surplus in your diet. Even if you kept everything else the same but switched to brown rice or broken wheat, you might be able to better maintain your weight over time. Eat more of dal, vegetable and curd and reduce the intake of rice.

Jog, if you're already fit, or walk briskly at an incline on a treadmill if you're not yet ready for jogging. Vigorous workouts on stationary bikes and elliptical or rowing machines are also effective. Exercise probably has the most immediate benefits, because it gets at both obesity and stress.

Siestas are good, but not always. Try and avoid day time naps. Get a good 6-7 hours of sleep. Do not under sleep or over sleep. Both would contribute to belly fat.

A good exercise pattern complimented with a substantial sleep will facilitate stress management, in turn, helping you to trim that tiny paunch.

Flaunt that flat tummy next time in chiffon sari!

Daily workout at home

 

Just fifteen to twenty minutes, only for yourself, can help you stay energetic and fit for the whole day.

Start with a warm up.

Rotate all the possible joints (neck, waist, ankle, wrist, shoulder, hip, etc) in your body for 5 rounds each.

Now, do 5 rounds of stretching in standing position (bend forward and stay for 5-10 secs and repeat when bending backward)

A combination of butterfly, sisupaala aasana, and cat stretch should be done, giving 2 minutes to each. All these aasanas (done in sitting position) help in balancing the gynaec system and also toning your body.

Spend a little time now, for meditating. Meditation doesn’t mean something great that is to be initiated by a guru only. Meditation is a simple state of non-thinking. Just close your eyes and sit there without thinking about anything. Don’t worry, your mind will wander but you will soon experience what does ‘not thinking’ mean. Meditation when done at the end of this exercise regime will help your body and mind to relax and de-stress.

Try this regime everyday for 15-20 minutes and find a lot of difference in your daily life activities.

Benefits of swimming

 

Swimming is one life sport or fitness activity that seems more like play than anything else that is meant to be.

The best part about swimming is, it has no age bar and no side effects.

Swimming works on every muscle in the body. Swimming can develop a swimmer's general strength, cardiovascular fitness and endurance.

Swimming can help you with cross-training, with your regular workout regimes.

After a land workout, swimming a few laps can help you cool-down, move blood through your muscles to help them recover, and help you relax as you glide through the water.

Swimming exercises almost the entire body - heart, lungs, and muscles - with very little joint strain.

Swimming has been found to help us indirectly too. It helps to develop life skills such as sportsmanship, time-management, self-discipline, goal-setting, and an increased sense of self-worth through participation in the sport. Swimmers seem to do better in school, in general terms, than non- swimmers.

Swimming does help in shedding some kilos. But, if you are looking for losing weight with swimming, then you have to get a professional trainer.

So many benefits tied up with fun! Swim on girls!

Yoga Benefits In Anti Aging

 

Yoga acts positively in maintaining the health of the human body. One of the most prominent benefits of Yoga is the ability to be young once again. Apart from revitalizing the mind, Yoga rejuvenates the body as well. People, who constantly practice Yoga, have found immense benefits from it and feel better than what they felt in their younger years. There is a very famous concept in Yoga philosophy. According to it, a person's age is determined by the flexibility of his spine, not the number of years he has lived.

 

Yoga helps in slowing down the aging process, by providing elasticity to the spine, firming up the skin, removing tension from the body, strengthening the abdominal muscles, eliminating the likelihood of a double chin, improving the quality of loose arm muscles, correcting poor posture and so on. Thus, of the numerous benefits of Yoga, anti-ageing is an important one. All you need is patience (remember, there is no one day benefit policy!!) and the determination (you need to be strong willed to practice everyday) to practice Yoga.

 

Yoga increases the mental competence in a person, making him/her feel younger. It possesses the power to fight the internal as well as the external diseases and dangers. This is the key to help an individual to live longer. There are various types of Yoga, of which Hatha Yoga basically aims at making people live long. Some of the anti-ageing properties of Yoga are long life, increased resistance to diseases, increased vitality, and rejuvenation of glands, looking young, improvement in vision and hearing and many other mental and emotional benefits.

 

Remember, there is no magic potion that can extend the longevity of life. If there is any key to longer healthy life, it has to be Yoga. One can successfully extend the period of life by constantly following Yogic practices. Even the tiniest detailing of ageing, such as gray hair can be dealt with Yoga. By practicing inverted Yoga postures, you can turn back gray hair to its natural color. These practices also delay the onset of gray hair, thereby making a person look younger. Even people with the inability to get up on their own, can enjoy replenished flexibility and freedom from joint pain, by practicing Yoga.

Swimming pool protection

 

Like Fresh air, water is also a great healer; The best way to prove this statement is to spend 30 minutes near a beach or bank of a river or any canal nearby. When all these options are not available, then you have to go to any swimming pool, enjoy and relax yourself.

Taking family membership is a great idea to spend time together in the water. If parents know swimming, then getting in pool along with kids will not only give them a sense of satisfaction but it will be full of fun while developing a sense of security among the family members.

When Swimming pools extend so much of fun to you all, they also spread infections because of the chemicals used in the cleaning process and due to the high traffic in the swimming pools.

Pool owners use so many disinfectants to clean the pool; chlorine is the chemical they use the most to clean the bacteria in the pool. Since this is very concentrated, taking a shower after every swim is mandatory. If kids already have any sort of infection, fever, do not send them to pool side till they recover completely. This will help your children to recuperate fast and also stop spreading infection to others through water.

Do not select for the rush hours; when flow is more, pool tend to attract more germs and dirt so as infections; due to the rush, pool operators also may not be in a position to clean it as often as needed.

So, please be careful and take little care, you can surely enjoy your swimming…

Neck Exercises for Neck Pain

 

Why you should exercise your neck:

When you exercise your neck, you are increasing the blood flow in your head region which helps to keep pain away.

Exercising your neck to keep pain away will not lead to shoulder and body ache.

If you exercise your neck, you will strengthen your back and keep pain away in the back region which follows later.

It is important to exercise your neck after every half an hour, when you are seated at your desk so that you do not encourage a headache.

Stiff necks are caused due to lack of exercises. Therefore, to prevent a stiff neck, you need to always do some sort of neck exercise.

What neck exercise to practice for neck pain:

Sit in a straight position. Stretch your neck backwards and look at the ceiling. Count for 10 seconds and bring back your neck to the initial placement.

One of the easiest neck exercises for pain is to simply twirl your head around clockwise on 3 rounds and anti-clockwise on 3 rounds.

With the help of your hands, club your neck and massage the back of your neck in lengthwise motion. If you have any pain in your neck, it will slowly decrease.


Stay Lean this Festive Season

 

Make sure you make salads and soups a regular part of your regular meals. They are effective in keeping your weight in check.

Be regular with physical activity, which is highly instrumental in keeping your metabolism humming. Reschedule your activity to the morning to prevent evening celebrations from ruining your schedule.

If you are pressed for time or intend to simply keep your weight down during all the feasting, switch your routine to HIT mode or high intensity training. This includes plyometrics and activities like sprinting, skipping and uses a lot of compound movements like jump squats, push-ups, pull-ups et al.

If alcohol figures in your celebrations, then it is advisable to stick to a glass or two of red wine. In any case, limiting servings is important.

When in a festive mood, eat only those things which you truly enjoy. Don't stuff yourself silly with everything that is served. Mindful eating can help keep those kilos off.

Supplement your diet with Omega 3 fatty acids post meals from either flaxseed or fish oil.

When giving or receiving gifts, dry fruits and nuts are your best options. They won't stick to your belly like sweets and fried snacks.

 

Stay healthy and enjoy the festive season ahead!



How to Do a Tabata Workout

 

How it Works

Tabata has been around since the ‘90s, but in case you’re not familiar, here’s your primer: Tabata workouts include 20 seconds of high-intensity cardio exercises (like burpees, lunges, or jumping jacks) with 10 seconds of rest between each move. That’s one rep, and typical Tabatas consist of eight intervals for a total of four minutes.

For the study, researchers from the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, recruited 16 fit students to try a 20-minute Tabata-style workout—they did a 5-minute warm-up and four rounds of Tabata. Participants’ heart rate and VO2 max (breathing capacity) levels after the workout met the industry standards for improving cardio fitness and changing body composition, and the average calorie burn (15 cals per minute) met the guidelines for improving health and losing weight. Translation: Tabata is a quick, effective way to work out.

Who It's For

Here’s the catch: Tabata-style workouts aren’t for newbies. “It’s an advanced workout that people shouldn’t do if they’re not physically ready,” says Mike Wunsch, a National Strength and Conditioning Association-certified personal trainer in California, who was not part of the study. “You need to master good form and increase your strength before you attempt a Tabata.”

But on the flip side: “If you’re in good shape and you’re limited on time, you can definitely maintain your fitness,” says John Porcari, Ph.D., head of the Clinical Exercise Physiology Program at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, in a statement from the ACE. “It’s just another trick in the arsenal of helping people get and stay in shape.”

How to Do It

So are you ready to tackle Tabata workout? The good news is that you can do it with almost any exercise. “The original Tabata study was done on a bicycle, “ says Porcari, “but people are now doing that 20-second/10-second format with resistance training, plyometrics, calisthenics…with almost anything.”

First, remember that the key is to go as fast as your body with allow. Take squats, for example: Do as many as you can for 20 seconds, and then take a 10-second rest. Do another set of intense squatting for 20 seconds followed by a 10-second break. That’s two intervals in one minute. Try a different move for the other intervals to make it harder.


బరువు తగ్గాలంటే పాటించాల్సిన ఆరు సూత్రాలు

 

1. నమిలి తినాలి

వినటానికి ఆశ్చర్యంగా ఉంటుంది కానీ మనలో చాలామంది ఆహారాన్ని నమిలి తినరు. గబగబ తినేస్తారు. దీని వల్ల ఆహారంలో ఉండే కొన్ని రకాల పీచు పదార్థాలు జీర్ణం కావు. అందువల్లే ఆహారాన్ని నెమ్మదిగా నమిలి తినమని నిపుణులు సూచిస్తూ ఉంటారు. నెమ్మదిగా నమిలినప్పుడు నోటిలో లాలాజలం ఊరుతుంది. దీనిలో ఉండే ఎంజైమ్‌లు ఆహారం త్వరగా జీర్ణమయ్యేలా చేస్తాయి.

2. ఎక్కువ అల్పాహారం

గబగబ ఆఫీసులకు, కాలేజీలకు బయలుదేరేవారికి కష్టం కానీ- ఉదయం పూట ఎక్కువ తింటే ఎటువంటి జబ్బులు దగ్గరకు రావంటున్నారు నిపుణులు. దీనికి ఒక కారణముంది. రోజంతా పనిచేయాలంటే మన శరీరానికి పోషక పదార్థాలు అవసరం. లేకపోతే అవసరమైన శక్తి అందదు. అందువల్ల పొద్దుటిపూట వీలైనంత ఎక్కువ తిని.. మధ్యాహ్నం భోజనం తక్కువగా తినమని నిపుణులు సూచిస్తున్నారు.

3. రాత్రి కొద్దిగానే..

కొంత మంది రాత్రి చాలా ఎక్కువగా తింటారు. దీని వల్ల మన జీర్ణ వ్యవస్థ ఇబ్బంది పడుతుందని నిపుణులు చెబుతున్నారు. శరీరంలో మిగిలిన అవయవాల మాదిరిగానే మన జీర్ణ వ్యవస్థకు కూడా విశ్రాంతి ఉండాలి. రాత్రి ఎక్కువగా తినటం వల్ల జీర్ణవ్యవస్థకు తక్కువ విశ్రాంతి దొరుకుతుంది. దాని ప్రభావం మర్నాడు ఉదయం శరీరంపై పడుతుంది. రాత్రి ఎక్కువ తినేవారు సాధారణంగా ఉదయం తక్కువగా తింటారు. దీని వల్ల పగలంతా శరీరానికి అవసరమైన పోషక పదార్థాలు లభించవు.

4. గ్లౌసిమిక్ ఇండెక్స్ కూడా ప్రధానమే..

మనం తినే ఆహారపదార్థాలలో కొన్ని త్వరగా.. కొన్ని ఆలస్యంగా శక్తిని విడుదల చేస్తాయి. ఆలస్యంగా శక్తిని విడుదల చేసే ఆహారపదార్థాల వల్ల మన శరీరంలో చక్కెర నిల్వలు అదుపులో ఉంటాయి. ఆహారపదార్థాలు శక్తిని విడుదల చేసే స్థాయిని నిర్ధారించే టేబుల్‌ను గ్లౌసిమిక్ ఇండెక్స్ అంటారు. ఉదాహరణకు బ్రౌన్ రైస్, గోధుమలు గ్లౌసమిక్ ఇండెక్స్ ప్రకారం నెమ్మదిగా శక్తిని విడుదల చేస్తాయి. మైదా త్వరగా విడుదల చేస్తుంది. అందువల్ల బ్రౌన్ రైస్, గోధుమతో చేసిన పదార్థాలను తినటం వల్ల శరీరంలోని శక్తి సమతౌల్యంలో సమస్యలు ఏర్పడవు.

5. సరైన వంట

మనం తినే పదార్థాలతో పాటు వాటిని వండే పద్ధతి కూడా ముఖ్యమే. ఉడకపెట్టిన పదార్థాలలో తక్కువ కేలరీలు ఉంటాయి. వేయించిన పదార్థాలలో ఎక్కువ కేలరీలు ఉంటాయి. అందువల్ల వేయించటం తప్పనిసరైనప్పుడు ముందు ఆ పదార్థాన్ని ఉడకపెట్టాలి. ఆ తర్వాతే వేయించాలి.

6. ఎక్కువ నీళ్లు

ప్రతి రోజు వీలైనన్ని ఎక్కువ నీళ్లు తాగాలి. నీరు మన ఆకలిని నియంత్రించటమే కాకుండా శరీరపు ఉష్ణోగ్రతలను నియంత్రణలో ఉంచుతుంది. శరీరంలో మలినాలను బయటకు పంపటంలో కూడా నీరు చాలా ప్రముఖ పాత్ర వహిస్తుంది.

 


How To Reduce Abdominal Fat

 

1. Eat Right:

Reducing abdominal fat is 80% about eating right foods. Have a healthy and balanced diet, with adequate macro and micro nutrients. Most importantly, skip takeaways and fast foods. Eat food prepared at home. Don’t have time? Then go for raw fruits or veggies, or steam cooked veggies instead.

2. Drink Water:

Many forget about drinking water and confuse being thirsty for tired or hungry and end up nibbling sugary or fatty foods. Always carry a water bottle and make sure you keep sipping water throughout the day. You need to drink 6 – 8 glasses of water, though this depends on your weight and lifestyle. Calculate accordingly and make sure you consume enough water.

3. Short Bursts:

According to recent studies, instead of working out for hours, or running for few miles, doing short bursts of active exercises is very helpful with reducing stubborn fat. For example, if you are walking on a treadmill, randomly increase the speed for a few seconds and get back to walking.

4. Say No to Sugar:

6. Vitamin C:

Vitamin C is important for the secretion of carnitine, a compound that helps body convert fat into energy. Besides, it also helps block cortisol, a hormone that’s secreted by the body when under stress. Spike in cortisol levels is the main reason for abdominal fat.

7. Fat burning foods:

There are many natural ways to reduce fat naturally using foods that help with fat reduction or burning.

When trying to get rid of bad cholesterol, addition of good cholesterol is the way to go. Avocados, olives, coconut, nuts are few sources of good cholesterol.

9. Do not skip breakfast:

Many think skipping breakfast helps with quick weight loss. On the contrary, skipping breakfast is a major blunder. It increases bloating and pushes your body into starvation mode, a key for abdominal fat gain. Latest studies reveal having smaller and frequent meals is the key to maintain a healthy metabolism rate, which is important for weight management. So reduce the size of your meals and make up for it by snacking healthy. You could consider having dry fruits and nuts, raw veggies or fruits, steamed veggies, etc.

According to a study, too much of sleep or the lack of it can lead to weight gain, increased risk of health disorders including cardiac problems or diabetes etc.

 


right exercises to loose weight

 

Finding a healthy balance

Yes, you need to limit your caloric intake and exercise on an intensive level if you want to lose weight, but you have to achieve a perfect balance between the two if you want to remain healthy as well. So if you're looking for guidance on eating and exercising and knowing where to draw the line in both, here's what you need to know...

About exercising on an empty stomach

While it's ok if you're not a diabetic or have other medical ailments like high blood pressure and erratic blood sugar levels, you need to remember to keep it down to between 30 and 40 minutes of moderate or slightly intensive work outs. Early mornings are the best times of the day to exercise on an empty stomach as your body has energy reserves to last you for a while. It's not advisable to starve yourself for more than seven or eight hours and then exercise at the end of the day. If your body has no energy to fuel your workouts, it uses up your muscles, and this is not a good thing because muscles help boost your metabolism and assist in faster weight loss.

About working out with weights and eating

When you want to tone or build muscles, you need more protein in your diet. And you definitely need to eat well. Strength training or weight training takes up a lot of energy, and you need food to provide this energy. Bodybuilders eat many meals that are spaced throughout the day, focusing on protein, foods low in fat, and complex carbohydrates for their energy sources.

 


Fat is good too

 

Yes, you are reading it right… Whether you agree or not, fat is good to your brain.

Since everyone is running behind the zero size concept, intake of fats in to body has decreased a lot. If this tempo continues, “it might affect your brain function” say the health experts.

Brian contains 60% of fats in it. This fats or lipids will help brain to be fit and fine and facilitate us to be active throughout….. When you reduce the fat intake in your food, brain function will become dull, then you start feeling lethargic and slowly it may lead to anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer etc.

To avoid such problems, eat food which has Omega 3 fatty acids in it as they are nutrients to your brain. When body generates free radicals, Omega 3 fatty acids will fight with them and develops resistance power in human body.

Foods like Linseed, Salmon fish, walnut, Cabbage, Cauliflower, cloves, Soya beans, cod liver oil, Tofu and mustard seeds are rich contents of omega 3 fatty acids. Hence add them in your daily food course to get the healthy fat which rejuvenates your brain and keeps you energetic and active.

If you want to be a person with “beauty and brains”, ensure that you consume good amount of above stated fats.

Have a Happy and healthy living!!

Best weight loss tips

 

Weight loss is purely a matter of science. Although there are a number of ways to achieve weight loss, following a healthy lifestyle in the long run is the best strategy to lose weight. A healthy lifestyle also guarantees better health and is your best anti-ageing mantra!

1. Biorhythm

Maintaining your body’s biorhythm may help in reducing the risk of obesity as well as lifestyle diseases. Weight gain, skin pigmentation, acidity, water retention, dark circles, drop in mental acuity and mood swings are some of the early signs of obesity. A disturbed biorhythm can upset the delicate hormonal balance of the body, and lead to an increased cortisol production and consequently play havoc with your body weight.

What to do

Try to get to bed in between 9 pm and 11 pm on weekdays and rise between 4 am to 7 am ensuring a sleep cycle of seven to eight hours.

2. Quality sleep

Disturbed, less sleep or chronic insomnia can all lead to increased cortisol production and imbalance in normal hormonal production. This may result in weight gain and a host of other ailments such as compromised mental acuity, sallow complexion, hair loss and more.

What to do

Eat your last meal at least two hours prior to sleeping. A warm water bath before sleeping will help your body and mind to relax.

Plan a dinner diet comprising some amount of protein. A glass of warm milk (with a dash of honey and nutmeg powder) is perfect too!

Keep your bedroom clean, uncluttered and smelling nice. Lighting an aroma candle with lavender can induce better sleep.

If you like to read, choose something that calms your mind.

3. Nutrition

The rise of lifestyle-related diseases among the urban population has put an immense focus on nutrition. With the onset of the modern day culture, our lives have become not only hectic, but also introduced a lot of processed foods. Food additives like excess sugar, salt, MSG, artificial colours have made their way into our digestive tracts. Now you know why India is the diabetes capital of the world!

What to do

One simple change may be is to go back to eating the food our mothers and grandmothers ate. Incorporate unprocessed foods that our bodies have been used to. Going back to consuming what our previous generations ate might cut down the problems.

4. Stress Management

When stress becomes the most dominating emotion of your daily life, it can literally kill you. An increased release of both cortisol, a stress hormone and insulin, leads to increased fat deposition in the body. This may result in insulin insensitivity, additional fat deposition and ultimately diabetes if left uncontrolled.

What to do

Include yoga, Asanas, Pranayam and even Taichi as they are highly instrumental in stress management.

Play some form of sport and dedicate one hour daily to any physical activity you enjoy.

5. Sedentary lifestyle

It is no great secret that for a number of decades, young Indians have stayed away from any form of active sports. The recent spate of wanting to get fit is fueled by two major factors such as Bollywood stars and an increase in lifestyle diseases. The second of course is a more important reason to start getting active today.

What to do

Get active and increase your ADL (activities of daily living). Remember, as you delegate more work around the house to hired help and electronic gadgets, your waistline starts to expand.

Keep a dedicated one hour daily to any form of sport or physical activity you enjoy.

Walk around the block to fetch groceries, keep your car in the parking lot and use the stairs every time you get a chance.

Walk the dogs yourself, help your gardener, and get up to drink water and eat your food.


Pointers for Starting Yoga

 

Be sure to check with your doctor before beginning a new exercise program.

Start out with simple standing and sitting poses. Some forms can give you an intense workout. If in doubt, ask the instructor to clarify what will be taught.

As a beginner, it is advisable to choose a gentle, slow form of yoga. Consider one of the following:

Hatha yoga is the most popular branch of yoga from which a lot of other styles originated. Because the practice can vary widely, students should find out exactly what a class offers.

In Iyengar yoga, students hold poses, especially standing postures, typically longer than in other forms.

Svaroopa is a consciousness-oriented yoga that promotes healing. Students often begin this form in comfortable chair poses that help the spine.

Integral focuses on integrating yoga teachings into everyday work and relationships.


Specific Health Benefits of Exercise

 

Heart Disease and Stroke. Daily physical activity can help prevent heart disease and stroke by strengthening your heart muscle, lowering your blood pressure, raising your high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels (good cholesterol) and lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels (bad cholesterol), improving blood flow, and increasing your heart's working capacity.

High Blood Pressure. Regular physical activity can reduce blood pressure in those with high blood pressure levels. Physical activity also reduces body fatness, which is associated with high blood pressure.

Noninsulin-Dependent Diabetes. By reducing body fatness, physical activity can help to prevent and control this type of diabetes.

Obesity. Physical activity helps to reduce body fat by building or preserving muscle mass and improving the body's ability to use calories. When physical activity is combined with proper nutrition, it can help control weight and prevent obesity, a major risk factor for many diseases.

Back Pain. By increasing muscle strength and endurance and improving flexibility and posture, regular exercise helps to prevent back pain.

Osteoporosis. Regular weight-bearing exercise promotes bone formation and may prevent many forms of bone loss associated with aging.

Psychological Effects. Regular physical activity can improve your mood and the way you feel about yourself. Researchers also have found that exercise is likely to reduce depression and anxiety and help you to better manage stress.


The best diet schedules

 

1. Choose the right diet technique

Don't decide to go from comfort food junkie to fad diet fanatic. Opt for a balanced eating plan instead. Erickson suggests, "A fad diet is a diet that restricts any of the three macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates and fat. If you go on a diet that restricts the fat, this will leave you hungry, deprived and prone to binge eating." A diet low in protein will also lead to constant hunger.

2. Take a fish oil supplement

The Zone nutritionist says, "My theory on changing poor eating patterns is to change the biochemistry of your body, which in turn proactively facilitates positive mood patterns. Fish oil for example is brain food that increases your sense of well being. Feeling good proactively eliminates the need for a food induced high." Try a fish oil supplement like the Zone Diet's OmegaRx which offers the only patented, ultra-refined omega-3 EPA/DHA concentrate at a dose of up to eight times more omega-3s than provided by a typical dose of even the most expensive omega-3 brands sold in stores.

3. Journal your food intake

People who keep a food journal usually turn away from temptation if they know there will be a written record of their relapse. Further, a study from Kaiser Permanente Center for Health reports that the single best predictor for successful weight loss is keeping a food diary. What you eat definitely plays a key role in achieving a healthy weight, but recording what you eat can help you reach those weight loss goals. And keeping a journal is free!

4. Allow yourself at least two cheat meals per week

During a cheat meal you can eat what you crave the most. "I recommend people set one or two nights per week to eat a cheat meal," says Erickson. "Two cheat meals per week is only a seven percent deviation (as compared to all meals you eat in a week). Knowing you can let loose once and a while keeps you sane." Feeling deprived on any diet will boost your odds of binge eating and once again entering that carb-rich weight gain cycle.

5. Eat regularly to keep your blood sugar stabilized

As the only source of fuel for your brain and central nervous system, adequate blood sugar levels keep your brain content with the present moment. By contrast, skipping meals runs the brain on empty, which sets off uncontrollable junk food cravings, not to mention volatile mood swings. Aim for a balanced meal/snack every three to four hours. Erickson suggests following a diet similar to The Zone 40-30-30 because it does not restrict protein, carbohydrates or fat — it contains a balance of all three, which leaves you feeling satisfied, meaning your blood sugar is stabilized as well. (Learn more about the Zone and other healthy diets)

6. Balance your regular meals

Your insulin levels dictate your approach to food. When stable, you are satisfied, happy and energized. When erratic, as is the case when you eat a poor high-carb diet, you are always starving, moody and fatigued, which compels you to eat more nutrient poor foods. Eating nutritious balanced meals is the key to halting that vicious diet cycle. Dr Sears says, "To control insulin (and your weight), simply divide your plate into three equal sections. On one section, place the amount of low-fat protein that fits in the palm of your hand (3 to 4 ounces). On the other two-thirds, fill [your plate] until it is overflowing with colorful non-starchy vegetables and fruits. Finally add a dash of olive oil." This type of meal is not only healthy, it will stabilize your blood sugar levels, keep your head clear, and help make the current fiscal crisis easier to handle.

7. Only keep healthy food in the kitchen

If you've got junk food in your pantry or refrigerator, it's going to tempt you every time you open the door. Erickson suggests stocking your kitchen with healthy foods — only.

10 TIPS TO RISE AND SHINE

10 TIPS TO RISE AND SHINE

 

Exercise

Once you've had a moment to wake up, doing a few exercises to get your blood flowing is a great way to start the day. Anything from crunches to a brief spin on a bike will do. Push-ups and jumping jacks also work. Just make sure that before you start exercising, you allow yourself a gentle warm up.

Stretch

Slow stretches like yoga poses or simple twists, help your body reenergize gently. These moves also focus your mind, washing away the haziness that sometimes accompanies early wake-up calls.

Don't over-caffeinate

Yes caffeine can help you jump-start your day, but overdoing it (more than two cups) can kill your buzz mid-morning. Stick to one cup and your energy level will be more stable.

Rehydrate

When you sleep, your body uses (and therefore loses) its water stores. Rehydrating with a few glasses of cold water not only invigorates your body, it helps to stimulate your nervous system and digestive tract Drink up first thing and your body will be more ready to handle the stresses of the day.

Be consistent with sleep

Go to bed and wake up at the same time, every day. Your body loves consistency. Sticking to a regular schedule of sleep and rise times will make it easier for your body to awaken in the morning – and you'll feel more rested throughout the day.

Wake up to mellow music

Waking up to a loud alarm clock can be jarring. It also puts you at a greater risk of having a heart attack (the shocking sound can seriously push some people with heart conditions over the edge). Ditch the blaring alarm clock and invest in one that wakes you up gently, like a clock radio that gradually increases the sound of the music as your body gets accustomed to the welcome noise.

Wind down

Shut off the computer or TV an hour before you go to bed. Bright lights act as distractions for your brain, making it harder for it to shut off at night. Just by turning brightly lit electronic items off an hour before you go to bed, you'll get lulled into a deeper, more satisfying sleep (meaning you'll feel more willing to wake up in the morning).

Take an early shower

A refreshing splash of water will kick-start your body's nervous system and help you feel revived.

Eat breakfast

After a night of fasting, your body needs energy to get moving. Have a healthy breakfast every morning (even if its just a piece of fruit with yogurt or toast and peanut butter) and you'll feel much better about getting things started early.

Learn to breathe deep

Getting up early, for some people, can be an anxiety-riddled event. Thoughts of "to do lists" and relationship or financial stressors can quickly fill your head. So as soon as you wake up, give yourself a moment to breathe several deep breaths and calm your body and mind.

Simple ways to be active

Simple ways to be active

 

 Simply being more active through the day works to improve fitness and increase energy levels.
   

1. Easing stress and anxiety. A twenty-minute bike ride won’t sweep away all of life’s troubles, but exercising regularly helps you take charge of anxiety and reduce stress. Aerobic exercise releases hormones that relieve stress and promote a sense of well-being.
   
2. Lifting your mood. Exercise can treat mild to moderate depression as effectively as antidepressant medication. Exercise also releases endorphins, powerful chemicals in your brain that energize your spirits and make you feel good.
  
 3. Sharpening brainpower. The same endorphins that make you feel better also help you concentrate and feel mentally sharp for tasks at hand. Exercise also stimulates the growth of new brain cells and helps prevent age-related decline.
   
4. Improving self-esteem. Regular activity is an investment in your mind, body, and soul. When it becomes habit, it can foster your sense of self-worth and make you feel strong and powerful.
   
5. Boosting energy. Increasing your heart rate several times a week will give you more get-up-and-go. Start off with just a few minutes of exercise a day, and increase your workout as you feel more energized.

BODY AFTER BABY - 1

BODY AFTER BABY - 1

The Birth of a Child is an amazing event in the life of a Mother. With loads of happiness and the bundle of joy comes the weight gain and also the difficulty in getting back to Pre-pregnancy figure. While shredding those extra pounds looks impossible, taking a safe, slow practical approach with exercise and good nutrition can help restore the shape you remember!!

Set a Fitness Goal: As a new mom, you'll want to consult the doctor to ensure that you're ready to enter into a workout routine. once the doctor gives you a green signal, the first step is to access your energy levels and how is your ability to do certain exercises and the amount of time you can spend everyday, at the same hour while still taking care of the baby.

Track your progress: It is essential that you measure your success and that you are committed to continuing the regime.

Try the following methods:

1) A typical bathroom scale: set a date to measure your progress. Measure your weight on the same day every week in the morning before eating or drinking.

2) Take measurements too: A weighing scale wont tell you if there is any change in the body areas. measure the biceps, hips, tummy areas to notice the change in numbers.

Plan your Week: Grab a calender and schedule your fitness sessions with times that are most likely to be possible. one day you may be busy, other day you may have time to exercise, one day you get only 30mins, other day your baby might wake up within 5mins or you may feel weak.

1) Have a backup if your babies timings vary every week. During those days when you want to spend more time with your baby, plan exercises that you both can do, squats on an exercise ball with the baby in your lap. Take the stroller out for a brisk walk with your child enjoying a sleep or the vague colors.

2) Have a support system: Let family members encourage you, even if suddenly you feel disinterested, or lazy.

Swimming Benefits your Health And Fitness

Swimming Benefits your Health And Fitness

Most people know that swimming helps you to improve heart rate and blood flow and maintain a healthy weight.Swimming not only helps with general physical fitness, but it encompasses a host of other benefits such as muscle toning, breath control, and meditative qualities. With so many peripheral benefits in one workout. Here are the little known benefits of swimming:

1. You can work out longer with less pain and strain on your body.

As water supports the body’s weight, people with injuries, suffering from obesity, or at an advanced age can easily swim for longer periods of time without stress being applied to their joints and bones.swimming is one of the few sports that does not cause stress to the skeletal system.

2. It tones your muscles.

Water is 12 times denser than air, making swimming more effective at toning your muscles than any other form of aerobic exercise on land. Working out or swimming in water provides a certain degree of water resistance, which acts very much like weights do at the gym.It allows you to control the degree of pressure and helps prevent the possibility of injuring yourself through the use of heavy weights.

3. Swimming improves flexibility.

swimming allows you to utilize most of the muscles in your body.Swimming also helps to stretch out and elongate your entire body as you reach further out with every stroke.With water support, you can balance all those tricky yoga poses you’ve been meaning to try.

4. You work on breathing.

The moist air makes it much easier to breathe, particularly if you suffer from asthma. Studies show that swimming regularly can improve asthma symptoms, even up to a year after swimmers have stopped their swimming routine. But even if you’re not suffering from a breathing problem, swimming can also help increase your lung volume and force you to learn proper breathing techniques.

5. It helps your mental health, too.

If the idea of pounding around a track and crunching weights stresses you out, stress no more. Plus, the rhythmic strokes and sound of water make swimming much more relaxing. It’s been shown that swimming produces the same “relaxation responses” as yoga.Not only does swimming increase relaxation chemicals, it is also highly conducive to meditation.

Being fit for sport

Being fit for sport

Whilst training for any sport it’s essential you stay strong, fit and flexible. Here are five top tips to help you move in the right direction…

1)Train in all planes of motion to improve sport-related movement. A multi- directional lunge works out your frontal and sagittal planes, for rotation (or transverse plane) use exercises such as a medicine ball woodchop.

2)Use dumbbells to promote stabilisation of joints and functionality. Try a dumbbell chest press on a stability ball instead of a chest press machine.

3)Work on your balance by training in an unstable environment. Instead of a standing bicep curl try the same exercise standing on one leg and see the difference that small adaption makes.

4)Train for strength, power and endurance. These aspects are paramount in all sports but, more importantly, changing your workout regularly will insure your performance will be kept to an optimum.

5)Prevention over cure. Keep those niggling injuries away by incorporating a flexiblilty program into every workout. Your warm up should take into account movement actions in your upcoming workout. After you workout, stretching tight muscles will keep you at the top of your game.

Burn fat with a healthy Breakfast

Burn fat with a healthy Breakfast

 

 
We all know the old saying “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper”  ,but how many of us know that heating a healthy breakfast is the best option for  a healthy life and also the best way to lose weight! Breakfast is the most easily avoided and the most overlooked solution than all other fat burning tips combined.

Eating breakfast  is the most important meal of the day and many of the busy moms  tend to skip this meal for a variety of reasons. However, doing so will only work against your body's ability to lose fat. 

What happens when you skip break fast 
Skipping breakfast will only send the message to your body that you're starving - you haven't had food in the last 6-8 hours. This leads your body to SLOW your metabolism for survival purposes. You essentially are choosing to start your day in fat storage mode. 

And if you do not start your day with a supportive breakfast, it is only natural that by the time lunch rolls around - You are starving!.  You  may be compelled to eat more because of the cravings.

To make matters worse, skipping breakfast also leads to eating more later in the day - a big "dinner". Eating more calories during the last meal of the day, when your metabolism is naturally slower  leads your body to store those calories as fat. 

In fact, studies show that people who skip breakfast and eat fewer times during the day tend to be heavier than people who eat a healthy breakfast and eat four or five times a day. If you skip meals, you tend to feel hungrier later on and you will eat more than you normally would. 

How to get the best benefits of breakfast 
Eat within an hour of waking.Have your morning cup of tea/coffee but by having breakfast it will provide you with the energy you need to get through your day. The more energy you have, the more active you'll be and the more active you are, the more calories you burn. 

Favorite Busy Mom Breakfast: Cereals and oats  which are  easy to prepare,eat and are full of nutrients is a convenient choice.
But don't overlook the traditional choice of breakfasts like the idly,dosa, upma,paratha etc.which we have been having since childhood.Just go easy on the oil quantity and the type of chutney made.
The idea is to eat healthy and not a heavy meal.

New way to measure your Fitness levels

New way to measure your Fitness levels

 

Scientist at the the K. G. Jebsen Center of Exercise in Medicine at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, have figured out  a new way to check the fitness levels of a person. Normally we use the BMI -Body Mass Index routine to check our weight, muscle mass etc. but the scientists here after an extensive research have come out with an easy way to easily estimate your fitness level by answering a few question.

The new concept is called the VO2mas where it checks your body’s capacity to transport and use oxygen during exercise (VO2max)  and they claim is the most precise measure of overall cardiovascular fitness.They have brought this concept through an online site where all you have to is log into the site www.ntny.edu/cerg/vo2max.

There are 6 steps involved where you give details of your country, city  and your race and as you go further it asks for details about your height weight and gender and as you progress further it asks about your fitness regime and other details. It calculates your fitness levels based on these details and gives you a rating .So go ahead and try this new calculator and check how fit you are.

 


How to handle fatigue during pregnancy

How to handle fatigue during pregnancy

 

 
You are into first few weeks of your pregnancy and you have come back from work exhausted and more tired than usual. If this is how it is going to be you would probably think as to how the rest of the coming months are going to be if you are a working woman.

Medical experts are still debating what causes exhaustion early in pregnancy. Some specialists suggest that the fatigue is a result of a combination of factors: physical, psychological, and situational. Kimberly Gregory, M.D., M.P.H., vice chair of women’s healthcare quality and performance improvement at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, explains that these factors may include, “increased oxygen consumption, cardiovascular and respiratory changes, metabolic needs related to fetal development, nutritional and hormonal level changes.”
Whatever the cause and the medical explanation is ,what most women really want to know is how do you combat fatigue during pregnancy?

Eating the right food
 
Studies show that women who are at a normal weight at the start of their pregnancy add about 300 extra calories a day to their diet. You may be feel nauseous, so don’t try to handle your queasy stomach by skipping meals. Calories are energy, and a lack of food can aggravate your fatigue. The importance of a healthy balanced diet and appropriate weight gain cannot be overemphasized.
Maintaining a diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein will help keep you energized. And when you’re away from your kitchen, remember to carry healthy snacks like easy-to-eat fruits or cut-up veggies for on-the-spot energy any time. Moderation is the key is to eating a little every two hours and sustaining yourself at work.

Drink water
 
Drink lots of water and juices to keep the fatigue at bay by the time you get home. Just drinking plenty of water may help banish sluggishness, since dehydration can make you feel tired.

No Coffee
 
Mothers-to-be should avoid any kind of stimulants to get over exhaustion, although that doesn’t mean you have to give up coffee or tea entirely. Don’t rely on caffeine to get you through the day. Its okay to drink your usual cup of coffee or tea but don’t take too much of it to get thorough the day.
Energy Exercise
 
Unless your doctor advises against it, maintain a regular exercise program to boost your metabolism and lessen your fatigue. Moderate activity, such as walking for 30 minutes daily, can make you feel more alert during the daytime and more tired in the evening when you need to get a good night’s sleep. Try stretching at your desk and take a quick walk in the sunlight if you are sitting in a closed Air conditioned environment.

The Power of a nap
 
The drowsiness that is associated with pregnancy can be very irritating and you would just feel like putting your head down and dozing.Take that 5 -10 minute power nap which will make you feel energized and complete your tasks at work.

Home Support system
 
You are back from work exhausted and have to give in time for the end of the day chores. So try reducing your obligations if they’re adding to your exhaustion. Delegate household work to your partner or if you are lucky and have your parents or in-laws staying with you take their help. And if you don’t -the other easy option would be to get yourself a home maid full-time or part time to support you when you get back.

Usually this symptom fades away in the second semester, if it persist even then you will  need to discuss your symptoms with your doctor as this could lead to serious conditions like depression, anemia, and hypothyroidism.

The most important thing is to learn to listen to your body. When you feel tired, try to lie down even if it’s just for a few minutes in your office or on the sofa at home. You deserve to rest!

Take care of your Heart

Take care of your Heart

 

A few years ago women made up barely 15 percent of the population who could be affected by heart Diseases. Women who come from every social class—rich or poor, are all equally at risk of this issue. “One in nine women between the ages of 45 and 65 develop symptoms of some form of cardiovascular disease,” says cardiologist K.K. Aggarwal of Delhi’s Moolchand Hospital. “More disturbing is the fact that fewer women get timely medical attention when compared to men,” adds Dr Aggarwal, a Padma Shri recipient and president of the Heart Care Foundation of India (HCFI). “So, for women, heart disease is the most serious killer.”

 

But a woman doesn’t always experience the familiar symptoms of heart attack. She needs to look out for non-typical symptoms also. They should also not ignore the risk of hereditary factors in case it runs in the family. That’s why routine check-ups are vital. Visit the nearest diagnostic facilities recommended by your doctor and get these tests done thoroughly.

It is highly  recommended to change your usual Lifestyle habits and start low-fat diets, regular exercise, cardio fitness , yoga and meditation, along with periodic check-ups including the treadmill tests and a lipid profile tests. This simple precaution could prevent almost 80 percent of heart attacks.

Skin ready for summer ?



With summer not too far away, it’s time to invest in a good sunscreen. With the global climate playing havoc in the weather condition the overall skin condition tends to become dry.Lot of people focus only on the 3 –point skin-care regime of cleansing, toning and moisturizing  but they neglect the essential action which should also be part of it – Sun protection!


It is a known fact by now that the harmful rays Ultra Violet radiation cause extensive damage to the skin and cause premature skin aging, eye damage (including cataracts), and skin cancers. They also suppress the immune system, reducing your ability to fight off these and other maladies.

Since the skin is robbed of its moisture, sunscreen which has UVA (long wave ray) and UVB (short wave ray) protection and minimum SPF has to be applied to the areas of which are exposed to the sun.


It’s not enough that you apply the sunscreen only once a day - you need to reapply every two hours and if you are into any kind of sport where you are exposed to the sun or swimming you need to apply it regularly without fail.

We present some tips for you to stay fresh when you are working out.


Workout gear - Choose exercise clothes made from synthetic fabrics that are specifically designed to remove sweat, keeping you cool and dry. These are available with most of the current top brands. Avoid cotton clothes as they retain sweat and moisture, making you sticky and smelly. Wear breathable socks while you work out. Women should always wear sports bras, as they help you support the chest and you will feel comfortable during heavy work outs.


Hair - If you have long hair, pull it up or back while you are working out and prevent it from picking up the sweat from you face and neck.

Skin - Carry a small turkey or cotton towel with you to wipe off excess sweat while you exercise. Never touch your hands to your sweaty face, as this spreads bacteria and increases the likelihood of acne. Don’t reuse that towel for the next day and use a fresh one every day.

Bring some disposable body wipes. These wet wipes remove excess sweat and oil from your skin and refresh your skin.

Feet - A foot deodorizer can also help you feel clean after a heavy workout. Apply foot spray or powder directly to your feet before putting wearing your gym shoes. Even baking soda works well to prevent smelly feet.

Probiotic yogurt for weight loss

Probiotic yogurt for weight loss

 

Yogurt with added probiotic cultures off late has been established as one of the essential part of weight loss packages by naturopaths apart from being a gut cleanser. Nutritionists are exalting the potential benefits of probiotics range which range from regulating gut health, to boosting immunity, reducing stress, depression and anxiety, clearing acne and easing allergies.But now a new study is adding another benefit to the list which is: helping women lose weight and keep it off !

 

In the study, from the Université Laval in Quebec and published online in December 2013 by the British Journal of Nutrition, obese men and women followed a 12-week weight-loss diet followed by another 12 weeks of supervised but unrestricted weight maintenance. Half of the 125 subjects took probiotics—two capsules of Lactobacillus rhamnosus daily. Though there were no differences among the men in each group, the women in the probiotics group lost significantly more weight than the placebo group (9.7 pounds versus 5.7 pounds, on average, respectively). What’s more, while women on the placebo gained weight back during the maintenance period, those taking the probiotic continued to lose weight—about another 1.8 pounds.

The difference between men and women may have to do with another notable finding: In the gut flora of the women, but not the men, there was a significant decrease of a particular family of bacteria that has been linked in one way or another to obesity by many studies. The relationship is murky at best, but the researchers posit that the reduction of these Lachnospiraceae bacteria may have played a role in the participants’ sustained weight loss, including possibly helping to reduce an overabundance of leptin in the blood at the end of 24 weeks. High circulating levels of leptin, a hunger-regulating hormone produced by fat cells, is common among obese individuals.

So ladies head to the nearest supermarket and get your weekly supply of probiotics for added fitness and weight loss!


How to Stay “fit-motivated”

How to Stay “fit-motivated”

We set targets to lose weight in the beginning of the year and in the middle of the year and in the end of the year and the same next year! Ever examined why you tend to waver form your set targets. The reasons could be many, I can’t wake up that early or I cheated and I don’t have the time- are some of the basic reasons why we deter from a set path. Try these few tips to stay focused on your motivation plan.

1. Focus on diet. See your new diet and exercise regime as a lifestyle change, rather than a way to lose weight. This will help you steer clear of your old, bad habits.

2. Don’t deprive yourself. The moment you start to deprive yourself of something, you start to crave it more .Instead, allow yourself a little bit of something high on calorie but you really love from once in a while, but make sure to limit your intake.

3. Reasonable goals. Trying to achieve too much in a small amount of time can even be detrimental to your weight loss results. Work out how much you need to lose and strive to do it slowly, but surely.

4. Chart your progress. Don’t weigh yourself every day but do it when you feel the lightness and write the number down. Then whenever you feel discouraged, just go through the past number and appreciate yourself to see your long-term progress which in turn will help to boost your motivation.

5. Fall and rise again. Don't beat yourself up about a piece of cake you cheated on or a missed workout session. It doesn't erase all of the hard work, so just pick yourself up where you left off and move on.

6. Visualization techniques. As part of the holistic approach you have the concept of creative visualization which you can use to your benefit. For example. If there's an outfit you used to love that you no longer fits , hang it up in your bedroom or a place you see all the time. Focus on it and visualize yourself wearing it and fitting into it. This will help boost your determination and act as a positive auto suggestion !


Benefits of Meditation-1 Stress Relief

Benefits of Meditation-1 Stress Relief

 

We all know that meditation has many benefits on our mind and it is known to calm your mind and give you concentration and clarity. It is often misunderstood to be a passive activity which is practiced in solitude for clearing the mind and relieving stress, while physical exercises take the credit for benefiting bodily health. Not many know that both meditation and exercise can share an equal part in a person’s health and well-being. Taking a deep breath, releasing tension from the muscles, and calling the mind into focus are not the only benefits of meditation which we will discuss in the series - Benefits of Meditation.


Meditation for Stress Relief

The first and foremost benefit of meditation advocated by doctors and therapists is stress belief. As part of stress management, a few minutes of inner peace and meditation is prescribed for people who are over worked and stressed and most often this benefit is very real. Stress generates the release of Cortisol, a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal cortex. Having Cortisol in the body, especially on a regular or constant basis, can cause physical problems like higher blood sugar levels, a suppressed immune system, and sometimes problems with metabolism regulation which leads to thyroid and in turn obesity.

Controlling stress through meditation has helped many people around the world fight diseases, weight loss, and other hormonal disorders. So the benefits of managing stress through mediation are manifested in a variety of physical ways. The blood pressure and heart rates lower, oxygen can move more freely through the body and improve skin tone, and even nerve pains and discomfort can be relieved over time. This results in a healthy body and healthier mind.


Sleep for Better Health

Sleep for Better Health

 

Scientists at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina discovered that women need more sleep than men. They say that women suffer more than men, both mentally and physically, if they are forced to hold back on on their sleep.

 As well as a higher risk of heart disease, depression and psychological problems, sleep-deprived women have extra clotting factors in their blood, which can lead to a stroke. They also have higher inflammation markers, which indicate developing health problems. As inflammation markers are also linked to pain, sleep expert Dr Michael Breus explained that women can literally be in more pain when they wake up. Which is why they feel more grumpy.

By contrast, the state of a man's health does not appear to be closely linked to how much they sleep. In the study, men showed no increased risk of developing the ailments that affect women when they are sleep deprived."We found that women had more depression, women had more anger, and women had more hostility early in the morning," said Dr Breus. If this sounds like someone you know, it can probably be blamed on sleep deprivation and the fact that women are particularly susceptible to the effects. So what does Dr Breus advise?

If you don’t manage to get enough sleep at night, try taking strategic naps.

However, he warned that those naps should be either 25 minutes or 90 minutes long. Any other length will make the sleeper feel worse when they wake, he said.

"One of the major functions of sleep is to allow the brain to recover and repair itself," said Professor Jim Horne, director of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, England. "During deep sleep, the cortex - the part of the brain responsible for thought, memory, language and so on - disengages from the senses and goes into recovery mode. "The more of your brain you use during the day, the more of it that needs to recover and, consequently, the more sleep you need. "Women tend to multi-task - they do lots at once and are flexible - and so they use more of their actual brain than men do. Because of that, their sleep need is greater.

This is not the first time experts have suggested that women need more sleep than men. So try and get that proper sleep or make up for it in short naps , Happy snoozing!

 


Meditation for Stronger Immune System

Meditation for Stronger Immune System

 

 

Meditation has known to boost the Immune System .When the body is relaxed and the breath deepens during meditation, the experience can stimulate the immune system, activating certain protective genes that fight disease. According to recent studies at the Harvard Medical School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a wide range of disease-fighting genes become active in the bodies of those who regularly practice medication. These genes all protect us from certain disorders, including pain, high blood pressure, types of arthritis, infertility, general inflammation, and even some forms of cancer.

Benefits to the immune system and hormone production get even better with continued practice over consecutive weeks, months, and years. These findings could explain the importance placed on meditation, deep breathing, and other relaxation techniques in holistic remedy practices in Indian Ayurveda and Tibetan medicine. It also helps lower blood pressure and heart rates where oxygen can move more freely through the body and improve skin tone, and even nerve pain and discomfort can be relieved over time.

Meditation offers physical benefits for a stronger immune system to everyone who begins and continues to include it as part of their daily lives. We will discuss the Benefits of Meditation for Women’s Health in the next article. See you soon.

 


Benefits of Meditation-3 Mental Health

Benefits of Meditation-3 Mental Health

 

 
Stress isn’t the only emotional or mental state that can benefit from regular meditation. In fact, many psychologists and therapists often recommend meditation to their patients to help them heal their own emotional troubles. When we meditate, the mind is cleared of emotions and thoughts, giving us time to heal ourselves in a way. Your state of mind becomes something you can alter and change, because once you have the power to clear it away, you learn that you have the power to choose how you feel about different aspects of your life. In this way, meditation can be a very self-empowering practice that gives people the control over their emotions and the ability to choose positive thoughts over negative, optimism over cynicism. 

Sometimes referred to as emotional pollution, bad thoughts can be banished by choice once a person has grown in their meditative experiences. When we speak of good mental health this in turn affects out physical state of being and keeps us healthy and happy. The adage which is often told is a healthy mind leads to a healthy body. Even though many of us know the power of meditation we don’t practice it as we feel that it requires a time and place for it. Meditation is a state of being which one can acquire sitting anywhere. Be it your home, office or a garden. The benefits of mediation plays a major role in our mental health.
 

Benefits of Meditation- 4 Physical Health

Benefits of Meditation- 4 Physical Health

 

 

In the final of the Benefits of Meditation-4 series, we see how meditation can yield physical health and recovery along with self-healing benefits to be found as well. Studies show that for those struggling to recover from addictions, meditation is a powerful tool that helps an individual find the peace, calm, and mindfulness required to break the cycle. It can also help the body produce the hormones and natural chemicals needed to fill the void that addiction creates. Meditation also helps those who have struggled with long-term illnesses to find their center again and give the body the healing it needs.

Surgical patients, as well, have found that meditation can be an easy way to stimulate blood flow, healthy enzyme and hormone production, and trigger those pain-fighting genes. Pain medications, ice packs, and rest can take a patient part of the way back from a major surgery, but the meditative aspect should be present to ensure total healing inside and out. These self-repair mechanisms make up what is often referred to as the parasympathetic nervous system, the direct opposing force to the stress-induced sympathetic nervous system. When this force is activated in the body, healing can begin and the body can be both repaired and protected from future threats. The body’s natural healing energy is triggered by meditation and can give a powerful boost to an individual’s journey to recovery.

Rest, relaxation, and meditation can all contribute to a healthy and speedy recovery from surgery. Dr. George Bitar, MD, of Bitar Cosmetic Surgery Institute , Virginia ,knows the importance of coaching his patients from the consultation through the surgery and throughout the essential recovery period following it. He often recommends using meditation and similar natural therapies to encourage the body’s natural healing process to bring the body back to where it was, if not better than ever before.

HEALTHY COCONUT OIL

 HEALTHY COCONUT OIL?

 

 

Coconut trees are not just famous for their cool coconut water, and by products, they come with benefits beyond tropical scenery and tasty desserts.  Coconut oil, in particular, can help keep your body healthy. The waxy, sweet-flavoured oil can be used both in food and on the body, giving it a variety of uses that support wellness. We,Indians know it, very well. 


From fighting bacteria and viruses to moisturising skin and hair, this incredible oil is a natural, inexpensive way to support the health of our body--both inside and out. To take advantage of all coconut oil has to offer, here's what we need to know. 
 
Healthy Saturated Fats?
For years, coconut oil was considered unhealthy because it contains saturated fat. Furthermore, its bad reputation was based on a highly processed version of the oil called partially hydrogenated coconut oil, which goes through chemical processes that kill essential fatty acids, antioxidants and other key nutritional components. Yet today, scientists are beginning to recognize that not all saturated fats are unhealthy, and additional studies are discovering the benefits of the less processed, virgin form of the oil. 
 
Virgin Coconut oil's main benefits come from the saturated fat lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid that supports total wellness; other beneficial medium-chain fatty acids in the oil are capric acid and caprylic acid. Coconut oil also contains vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals, which can damage cells and lead to a number of diseases. 
 
We will come back to some key benefits of coconut oil in our next article......

Healthy Coconut Oil-2

 Healthy Coconut Oil-2

 

 

Antibacterial properties: Coconut oil has natural antibacterial properties that help boost immune function and fight off illness-causing viruses and bacteria. It also helps protect the body from ringworm, yeast, candida and intestinal parasites, among other issues. Whats great about the oil is that its texture allows for easy external application, and it can be used for skin issues like diaper rash, eczema and acne. Of course, be sure you're storing the oil you use on your body in a separate container from the one containing the oil you use for cooking.

Weight and Cholesterol maintenance: Research shows that, women who had abdominal obesity(excess belly fat), adding coconut oil to their diets reduced body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and "bad" LDL Cholesterol, while raising "good" HDL Cholesterol. Replacing cholesterol-raising fats like butter with a healthier fat like coconut oil is a great way to support weight loss and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. And healthy weight and cholesterol levels are also good for the heart.

Skin and Hair health: Coconut oil is naturally moisturizing, making it good to use externally on dry skin and hair. It also contains the antioxidant Vitamin E, which has a protective effect on the skin and supports healthy aging by reducing free radical damage. I recommend using organic coconut oil to limit exposure to toxins and chemicals.

Diabetes support: Emerging studies show evidence that coconut oil supports the health of those with or at risk for Type 2 Diabetes. Research published in a American Heart Association's journal found that "dietary supplementation with MCFA ( medium chain fatty acids) found in sources like coconut oil may be beneficial for preventing obesity and peripheral insulin resistance" conditions that can lead to diabetes.

We will learn about how to replace other cooking oils with coconut oil and its supplementation in our next article.


HEALTH WITH COCONUT OIL

HEALTH WITH COCONUT OIL

 

 

Replace and Enjoy

Keeping aside its new taste which might take you some time to get used to, If you'd like to start eating this delicious coconut oil, remember: Replace unhealthy fats with coconut oil; don't add it on top of the fats you're already eating. Eating one to two tablespoons daily is a good amount, but because it is high in calories and fat, i don't recommend eating much more than that. Limiting your intake of unhealthy saturated fats, as well as trans fat, is also recommended. 

Working coconut oil into your existing culinary routine is easy. Instead of using butter in baking, substitute coconut oil using a simple 1:1 ratio. Coconut oil is great to cook with, too. Unlike Olive oil, which is a medium-temperature oil (it evaporates when you cook on high flame), coconut oil can be cooked at high-heat making it ideal for dishes like stir-fry. It adds flavor when cooking or roasting any vegetables, and makes a delicious complement to bitter veggies like Karela (Bitter gourd) or Kale. You can also find other ways to substitute coconut oil, such as using it on your morning toast in place of butter. 

Choosing to Supplement
 
If you don't like coconut oil or aren't having success working it into your diet, you might consider taking a dietary supplement. To support the health of your entire body, Doctors usually recommend 2000 to 4000 milligrams daily, although you should check with your Doctor to determine the right dosage for you. An Organic extra virgin supplement is a good choice. 

As you can see, the coconut palm is not only picturesque but also offers significant health benefits.

Food influences Your Mood

Food influences Your Mood

 

 

We have read enough about food, dietary food, food for diabetes and other food related content .So as part of this food related journey we have identified that food also influences you mood. Obviously the ice cream elevates the child’s mood and the freshly baked pizza with all the toppings is bound to make your mouth water and in turn the very thought of it elevates your mind and leads to  happiness.

Many studies have shown the relationship between physical activity and mental health, and have proven that regular exercise can help relieve depression. An old study conducted by doctors in Canada  and published in the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry 2012 also shows the relationship between the foods you eat and your mental health.

The study shows that the amounts of calories, carbohydrates, fiber, fat, and vitamins and minerals in people’s diets relate closely to their mood and mental function. This is important evidence of just how important good nutrition is, not only for your physical health but also your mental health. The doctors propose more research to understand just how exactly food affects mood. Most people, especially those who experience mood disorders, may need to improve their diet and eat more nutritious, unprocessed, natural foods. Including fresh fruits, veggies, leafy vegetables and lean meats in your diet is very important and an oft repeated sermon. The difference is you could make these more palatable by cooking them in a healthy and appealing style to suit your palate. You could also consider meeting a dietitian or nutrition expert for more help. Try alternate healing processes like Naturopathy to experience this. At the end of the day you are what you eat and a healthy body leads to a healthy mind!

2. Not cleaning up a wrong diet first: The first step towards the goal should be correct healthy diet and nutrition. Instead if we start off with the exercise routine, but still continue eating high fat, caloric food, we will be where they started, except for the tiresome effort. 

A good nutritious diet will increase body energy. This prepares the body for more intense exercise, and we will feel better while still working out.  Remember that meals can't just be healthy--they must be a balance of carbohydrates, proteins and essential fats. Vitamin/mineral supplementation is also important to ensure we get the required amounts of essential micro nutrients and antioxidants.

3. Going too fast: Our body needs time to adjust to the sudden exercise routine and similarly, needs time everytime we start a new exercise. Gradually build up intensity and duration of work out to avoid unnecessary soreness of body muscles, injury and discomfort. This gradual pace will help us enjoy the work out process. 

4. Skipping out on warming up, cooling down and stretching steps: Cutting through a warm up step forces the body to stretch beyond its preparation and causes injury and tiresomeness. 

A 5-10 minute cool down step is also essential between exercises to reduce the amount of adrenaline in the blood, to flush out toxins and muscle soreness. 
Don't forget to stretch. When joints and muscles are stretched, their range of motion increases overtime, phasing out from a stiff body.  

5. Acting on bad advice: Don't start working on an exercise just because someone suggested it, or you saw it on TV. To achieve significant long-term results, seek an expert advice. Some exercises are not meant for everybody, in such scenarios, experts definitely play a key role. Doing a wrong exercise may put your body in jeopardy. You might have regrets later!


Follow her fitness plan

Follow her fitness plan

 

We have seen many star children who have made their entry into filmdom and have been successful too. But their success story was not so simple. They have put in a lot of hard work in training to act, emote and the most important of all  to get into shape and stay slim and fit. We found this interesting information about actress Sonakshi Sinha’s fitness regime which helped her loose 30 kgs and we thought that it should be defiantly shared with you.

Before she entered films she was 90 kgs due to a highly inactive lifestyle and junk food eating. So to change that she went into a strict diet and workout routine.

Work-out routine
Apart from the  cardio  and weight training, she also included cycling, tennis, swimming and functional training in her routine. Thrice-a-week, she also did hot yoga to help her lose weight and tone her body.
Diet
She gave up her favourite dishes stopped eating junk food completely and started eating well-balanced meals. She was on a high-protein, low-carb diet to support her strenuous work out. .  Eating small meals every three hours helped her keep her energy high and burn more calories. Here’s what her diet plan consisted of:

Breakfast: Cereal and milk or whole wheat toast
Mid morning: Some dry fruits and a cup of green tea
Lunch: Home-made roti and sabzi with salad
Evening: A fruit or a cup of green tea
Dinner: Dinner was eaten early and consisted of only protein food like dal, chicken, egg whites and fish. She did not have carbohydrates after 6 pm.
She had  green tea throughout the day and also a lot of water to keep her hydrated

The gym sessions caused a lot of pain and aches but she kept motivating herself and challenging herself with losing hope and eventually lost 30 kgs. This hasn't ended here and she is still continuing with her regime and looks fab. A success story that we could learn  and imbibe from.

Sneak Peak on Organic milk

Sneak Peak on Organic milk

 

Organic Milk and Alternatives: Organic milk is not  easily found in Indian markets and they are also comparatively expensive, anywhere in the world. But its good for health to consume organic milk as the cows, buffalos that produce milk are fed and treated free of pesticides, artificial hormones and antibiotics. Its even more important for kids to consume organic food as their bodies can't cope with toxins easily. If you find organic milk in tetra packs at the stores, considering to buy them is actually feasible as organic milk stays fresh longer than non-organic milk, and so instead of throwing away ordinary milk after the expiry date, you can use the organic version without fear as they are pasteurized differently. Another affordable option would be milk labeled "rBGH-free" or "rBST-free", these products are generally cheaper and donot have artificial hormones  though not completely organic.

 

Pump up the potassium: According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, increasing potassium intake in conjunction with decreasing sodium may lower the risk of high blood pressure. Fill your diet with potassium rich products including fruits, vegetables and low-fat or fat-free milk or  yoghurt. But for people suffering from kidney disease: High potassium levels may cause an irregular heartbeat or a heart attack. 


Fight cellulite with Fat

Fight cellulite with Fat

 


Cellulite - a bane for any woman and which affects close to 90% of the woman worldwide is basically a term used to describe the crinkled and uneven appearance of skin caused by fat deposits below the skin. Although scientists don't know exactly what causes it, it's believed to be related to the body's inability to get rid of toxins, fat and fluid which become trapped under the skin and cause fibrous tissue to become hard, which is responsible for producing the dreaded dimpling effect. There are various methods for improving the skin like massages, exercises, drinking lots of water ,expensive creams and visits to the doctor- but there is one new tip to fight cellulite i.e., with fat! Yes, it’s true !


Studies in science show that eating fat could help with reducing cellulite. But not just any fat - a special kind of fatty acid known as CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) that's found in beef. In a study conducted in Beverly Hills, California (and published in the Advances in Therapy Journal by Dr Lawrence Birnbaum) 60 females were given CLA for 60 days and 'in as many as 75% of the women, the appearance of the skin improved significantly, and thigh circumference was reduced by an average of 0.88 inch.' Now if you are a vegetarian not to worry you get these in a capsule form which are tad bit expensive to procure and buy.

Improve your Running Temp

Improve your Running Tempo

If you are the avid runner or jogger and used to having your favourite tunes playing on your mobile especially if it is a iPhone , news is that they have designed an app that is extremely easy to use and allows you to accommodate every aspect of your fitness routine and track it. An easy fun app called the TempoRun has become one of the easiest ways to check how you’re running or jogging routine helps your cardiovascular activity.

It can be synced with your iTunes library and even if you don’t have any songs in your songs library it has streaming TempoRadio powered by SoundCloud, which provides thousands of songs pre- categorized by tempo and genre Best of all, it also functions as a pedometer that tracks your performance, records the workout history and helps you improve upon your previous best time.

It lets you tap out song's tempos yourself with its innovative beats per minute (BPM) tapper to make sure your beats are perfect. It categorizes your existing music library into different tempo levels 1-10, with 1 being a walk, 5 being a jog, and 10 being a sprint.

It lets you know how far you have run, for how long or the number of calories you burned? The user profile displays all relevant running statistics such as distance, time and calories burned.


Shoes that fit Right
Shoes that fit Right
 
 
Choosing the right shoe for your work out can be real headache .If you are the running and jogging type you need to buy something that suits both and if you are into doing floor exercises you need to buy what suits the hard floor. Choosing the right shoe is very important to avoid any kind of damage to your feet and muscles.

Catherine Cheung, DPM, a podiatrist and foot surgeon with the Post Street Surgery Center in San Francisco, says runners land more on their forefoot while walkers have a heavier heel strike. "So for running," she says, "you want a shoe that has more cushioning on the forefoot, while walking shoes should have stiffer rubber to support the heel."

Now the latest fad is to buy a good cross-trainer shoe which will allow you to do the treadmill, walk on the hard road and some  light jogging," Kathleen Stone, DPM, President of the American Podiatric Medical Association, says.  To choose a good cross-trainer, you should look for:
A firm heel
Good support -you shouldn’t be able to bend the shoe too easily
Light weight -you don’t want to add a lot of weight  to your feet
But if you are going to participate in a particular sport on a regular basis you should choose a specific shoe as they give the right support for the activity you engage in like running, trekking, marathons, gym floors.



Fitness with sticks and dance

Fitness with sticks and dance

 

A new form of exercise called Pound, where a  Los Angeles-based workout created by two fitness buffs  Cristina Peerenboom and Kirsten Potenza where you use drumsticks instead of the typical free weight for exercising. The difference is that the sticks used called RipStix weigh a pound each and are the movements are like you are drumming on a drum pad. Only that you would be drumming hard either in the air or on the floor and tapping your way to a toner body.

According to Peerenboom and Potenza, “striking the ground and simulating drumming allows the participant to hear and see the body working symmetrically in form and exertion. This teaming of sound and motion is absent from all other workouts available today.” And because of this non-stop motion, you can sweat and burn up to 900 calories during an hour-long class.

Now after reading this you might think of something familiar which we Indians have been doing since ages. Yes! The Traditional Kolatam in South India and the Dandia in North India. The amount of practice put in to perfect these steps paramount’s to a fantastic work out and there is no need to limit this to the festival times. You can form a group of friends, put on some foot tapping Bollywood numbers and do these dance exercises. Innovate the hand and leg movements and increase and decrease the tempo for an effective workout. But remember to increase the weight of the sticks for the added toning of the arms and enjoy the benefits of a well-toned body.


Goat's Milk?

Goat's Milk?

Not all of us are open to even thinking of goat's milk to drink. A few of us might have heard a voice in the streets selling Goat's milk, early in the morning. There are quite a good number of families in India who still prefer it to Cow's/ Buffalo's milk. They even feed it to infants. I have personally heard some American friends tell me that they have tasted Goat's milk and cheese and liked the taste and richness of the texture. Research and Doctors state that  Goat's Milk can be a good replacement for breast milk for the first ten to twelve months, but only in diluted form, 3 parts goat's milk and 1 part water. 

Goat's milk is believed to be more easily digestible and less allergenic than Cow's milk. Unlike Cow's milk, goat's milk does not contain Agglutinin. As a result, the fat globules in goat's do not cluster together, making then easier to digest. Goat's milk contains more of the essential fatty acids Linoleic and Arachidonic than Cow's, in addition to a higher proportion of short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids; these are easier for intestinal enzymes to digest. 
 

Doctors are recommending Goat's milk for Infants who  are allergic to Cow's milk. It contains only  trace amounts of an allergenic casein protein Alpha that is found in Cow's milk. Casein in goat's is similar to human milk and hence creates not much digestive trouble in the child's tummy. Goat's milk forms softer protein clumps by the action of the stomach acid, which makes the protein more easily and rapidly digestible. Less reflux is seen in Children on goat's milk compared to Cow's milk. Many mothers who tried Goat's milk have described their children tolerating goat's milk better than Cow's.

Eat healthy while you Work
Eat healthy while you Work 
 
 
One of the travails of a working woman is missing out on good meal either during breakfast or lunch. Most of us prefer to skip the breakfast due to lack of time in the morning or in an effort to lose weight. It is a known fact that eating breakfast can keep you healthy throughout the day so make sure to enjoy a nutritious breakfast like fresh fruit slices, oats, cereal and a slice of whole-wheat toast if you don’t have the time to make an elaborate breakfast. Skipping breakfast decreases your metabolism so whenever you don’t have time to eat, make sure pack your breakfast or lunch.

Drinking orange juice, skim milk and plain brewed coffee can help you stay healthy while at work. Avoid those vending machine Tea and coffees as they are packed with sugar and can cause weight gain. Drink lots of water and stay hydrated come summer or winter. 

Choose a healthy lunch like brown rice along with vegetables gives you the extra dietary fibre and has many health benefits compared to white rice. You could alternate with Rotis and brown bread sandwiches for keeping your tummy full and  can keep you healthy while at work.

All about Phytonutrients

All about Phytonutrients

 

Phytonutrients are natural plant chemicals and nutrients, found in fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and legumes. They naturally protect their plants against viruses, bacteria, and fungi. As a result, they act as scavengers of free radicals in our cells, slow the aging process, strengthen the immune system, and reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease. 

Cooking and processing can destroy the phytonutrients in foods. Some remain in cooked foods, but the best way to get them in their most useful form is to eat raw or slightly steamed. The optimal function of any of these phytochemicals depends on the other chemicals normally found along with them. That's why vitamins and minerals taken by themselves sometimes just doesn't seem to work, they should be taken with whole foods for effective use. 

Phytonutrients are present in: 

Flax seeds, a good source of Omega-3 fats, lowers cholesterol and can inhibit the growth of estrogen-stimulated breast cancers. 

Citrus fruits, as they contain phytochemicals with anti tumor and antioxidant properties. 

Red wine and grape juice, as they contain phenols and red anthocyanins that protect against heart disease.

Garlic and onions, as they are rich in allylsulfides, which reduce cancer risk and blood clotting.

Green tea, as it has antioxidant flavonoids called Catechins.



5 benefits of lemon, Honey and Warm Water

5 benefits of lemon, Honey and Warm Water

 

Drinking a glass of warm water with honey and lemon early in the morning is good for health. A age old adage which is prescribed by naturopaths, fitness instructors and dietitians. Check these 5 reasons why drinking warm water with lemon and honey is good for your health. The benefit of drinking this mixture early in the morning is that it helps hydrate your system and also improves your immunity.

Improves digestion: Lemon, honey and warm water combined help give your digestion an instant boost. Lemon helps your digestive system by adding to the already present acid and assists it in flushing out unwanted toxins.

Antibacterial: Honey acts as an antibacterial and beats any infections that might be present in your body. It also helps in the production of intestinal mucus which aids in the flushing out of toxins from the body.

Cleans lymphatic system: Lack of water and essential fluids in the lymphatic system can make you feel sluggish and fatigued, lead to constipation, disturbed sleep, high or low blood pressure, stress and an all-round lack in mental function.

Energy booster: The honey-lemon-warm water  concoction acts as an instant energy booster – minus the calories. Water helps clear your mind by providing fresh blood to your brain, and lemon activates negatively charged enzymes in your stomach – a great way to combat positively charged enzymes that react with the food you eat adversely, leading to it being digested poorly.

Helps in weight loss:  Apart from its properties of cleansing the stomach, lemon present in the mixture contains a type of fiber called pectin that helps make you feel full and keeps cravings at bay. The warm water, honey and lemon also creates a more alkaline atmosphere in your stomach helping you lose weight faster.


Freeze your fat away

 Freeze your fat away

 

 A new way to cut down your fat by freezing away fat.This process called  cryolipolysis, uses cold instead of heat to break down fat cells. It has been around for a few years but the latest treatment uses a new technology to make it more effective and pain-free. The ProShock Ice combines two technologies to eliminate fat and tighten skin. 


First, a small plate-like device is placed directly on to the skin over the areas to be treated and then rapidly cooled. This process destroys the fat cells which are then eliminated from the body naturally over the following weeks. The second stage of the treatment uses high-pressure acoustic waves to smooth and tighten the skin. To derive good results you need to take a course of four to six treatments and not to forget mentioning, pay a bomb for this treatment.

But you never know you could also end up learning how to swim and for those who already know, it’s time to brush up the other styles of swimming.

When it comes to working out in the pool first get in and get accustomed to the water. After walking around you could start by holding on to the side bar/rod of the pool and work on kicking your legs - do flutter kicks and frog kicks.

Pray to get rid of our flabby arms

Pray to get rid of our flabby arms

 

 
Flabby upper arms are the toughest part to work on and the last to go for those working out on a weight loss program. We have to admit it that they are a bit stubborn to work on. There are many exercises to get rid of those flabby arms like arm stretches, vigorous rolling of the hands and the classic windmill rotation where you move your arms like the fans of a windmill.

Another exercise which can be done anywhere, at home, at work, at the park or if you are simply doing nothing is the Prayer Pose exercise. This exercise is highly effective  on the upper arms and is easy to do.

The Prayer Pose Exercise

Join your hands in a praying pose above your head. Bring your joined palms down to the front of your chest. Raise your joined hands again and repeat this up down motion.
Joining the hands together like you are greeting a person with a Namasthe, engages your triceps and when you move your hand up and down will help you work on your biceps. The combined effect will help in toning your arms. But this has to be done in a set of 30 to 40 repetitions each, for you to have the desired results. You need to feel the burn in your upper arms which is an indication that you are doing it correctly.

Reduce the Muffin top

 

Reduce the Muffin top

 


Excess Belly fat that gathers on the belly in the shape of a muffin can be exceeding odd to look and tough to reduce. The muffin top can also lead to medical conditions like stroke, heart diseases, BP and sometimes diabetes too. With a calorie free diet and regular exercise you can quickly reduce this flab.

Presenting a 3-point exercise program to reduce the muffin top:

Cardio- Step: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services suggests doing 150 to 300 minutes of moderate cardio per week. Engage in cardio activities like bicycling, jogging, swimming or exercising on an elliptical machine or stair climber.

HIIT Step: Incorporate high-intense interval training, also known as HIIT, in to your cardiovascular workout sessions. HIIT boosts your metabolism for hours after finishing your workout, resulting in more calories burned.

Strength Step : Strength training maintains and increases muscle tissue, which uses up more energy than fat to sustain itself. You burn more calories, even after finishing your workout. Target all your major muscle groups with two to three sets of each exercise and eight to 12 repetitions per set.

Apart from the above you can also add different exercises to your routine like circuit training, which increases your caloric burn. During circuit training you're doing a series of strength-training exercises without resting in between sets. You can combine both cardio and strength training.

రోజూ వ్యాయామం ఆరోగ్యానికి మంచిదని తెలిసినా కూడా.. ఈ ఉరుకుల పరుగుల రొటీన్ జీవితంలో ఆ విషయాన్ని పెద్దగా పట్టించుకోం. అయితే కదలకుండా ఒకేచోట కూర్చుని చేసే ఉద్యోగాల్లో స్టిఫ్ షోల్డర్ వంటివి చాలా ఇబ్బంది పెడుతున్నాయి ఈమధ్య. ఆ ఇబ్బందులని అధిగమించాలంటే... ఎప్పుడు, ఎక్కడ, ఏ కాస్త సమయం దొరికినా కూడా కూర్చున్న చోటనే చిన్న చిన్న కదలికల్ని చేయటం మంచిది అంటున్నారు నిపుణులు. ఎలా అంటే ...

1. ప్రతి అరగంటకి ఒకసారి కూర్చున్న భంగిమను మార్చాలి. అలాగే కళ్ళు ఆర్పి, తెరవటం చేయాలి.

2. ప్రతి గంటకి ఒకసారి కుర్చీలోంచి లేచి అటు, ఇటు నడవాలి. వీలు కాకపొతే ఓ ఐదు నిముషాలు నిల్చోవాలి.

What you think you eat also matters
What you think you eat also matters
 

Research says that not only what we eat that affects our bodies but also what we think we're eating that matters. As per the new anecdotal research from Alia Crum, a clinical psychologist at Columbia Business School in New York who discovered this new habit by the human brain.

Crum was interested in the way that a particular hormone called ghrelin operated in our bodies. Ghrelin's known as the hunger hormone, because it lets the body know when it's time to seek out food. When ghrelin levels in the stomach rise, it signals to the brain that it's time to eat food. When you satiate your ghrelin levels, your hunger drops and your metabolism kicks into gear to burn the calories that you've just consumed. 

To test her theory about the brain's role in ghrelin production, Crum had volunteers drink two drinks -- one was labeled as a dessert drink called Indulgence with around 620 per bottle, the other was labeled a low-cal drink called Sensishake, advertised as only having 140 calories, zero fat, and zero added sugar. The trick? Both beverages were actually made from the same vanilla milkshake mix containing around 300 calories per serving. 

Amazingly, the people who believed they were drinking Indulgence produced way less ghrelin than those that produced the sensible shake. That's to say -- when people thought they were eating more calories, their ghrelin production responded in kind. The takeaway? If you believe you're eating a heavy, calorie-rich meal, your hormones will back that up and behave in kind. 



Bridge pose for the Glutes

Bridge pose for the Glutes

 


 The Gluteus muscles or to simply put it the buttocks are quite tough to go. There is one particular exercise which can be done any time at home or while simply lying down in front of the TV called the Bridge Pose which is a yogic posture and highly beneficial for strengthening the glute muscles and also help in reducing them.

How to Do It: Lie on your back with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle, feet parallel on the floor and hip-distance apart. Once you have settled in, press your feet evenly into the mat and lift your spine off of the floor, pressing your hips up. Scoop your tailbone under, and if you like, wriggle up onto the shoulders, interlacing the fingers and clasping the hands underneath you. Slowly lower down, one vertebra at a time.

Benefits:
For those who cannot hold the pose, can use a block, which supports you and eases weight from the shoulders. It will be helpful in holding this position for five deep breaths. If that's easy for you to maintain, try raising your right leg for five breaths and repeating on your left leg.

 


What to avoid in the Gym Routine

What to avoid in the Gym Routine

 



Those who have incorporated a healthy lifestyle and head to the gym to stay fit do a lot of planning so that their schedule stays uninterrupted and hassle free. Here are a few things to avoid so that you can have comfortable routine and enjoy your gym time.

·  Avoid uncomfortable gear

·  Don’t wear old and smelly gym clothes.

·  Avoid ill fitting, loose pants which you need to keep pulling up every time you bend.

·  Avoid wearing normal bras or too tight ones that constrict your breathing.

·  Please don’t wear cleavage revealing, tight gym clothes which not only distract you but also your fellow gym mates, (especially if you are in unisex gym).We don’t need unwarranted attention.

·  Avoid wearing worn out ear buds when you are listening to your iPod where you have to keep readjusting  them. Buy a good quality headphones

· Plan and time your gym sessions so that you don’t end waiting for machines to become free and delay your time.

· If the place is a constraint and there are too many people you could consider getting your small equipment which you can carry, like resistance bands,  kettle bell, a mat, some dumbbells, or jump rope and not wait around for the person to finish and you get your turn.

·  Avoid any kind of impolite or offending behavior at the gym. If someone is behaving like that quickly bring it to your Gym instructor/owners notice and they will take care of the issue. Don’t get into any altercations which can spoil your mood and others and cause any unpleasantness.

Work out, make friends, enjoy your gym routine and stay in shape –Both in health and mind!

Share Your Diet with your best friends

Share Your Diet with your best friends

 


With any endeavor to lose weight, most women think they need to go on a diet, says Lisa Sanders, MD, a clinician-educator in primary care at Yale University and author of The Perfect Fit Diet. But that's not exactly true. A diet is simply what you eat, which means you're already on one. That diet either works for you so you achieve and maintain the weight you want, or it doesn't.

The real secret to eating healthier and losing weight is finding a diet you can stick to – one that suits your tastes and lifestyle. You need to help you find your own personal diet strategy. If you are the one who turns to friends and pros for answers Your ideal diet & weight loss plan involves plenty of support from women who've been there - sharing your battles with chocolate fudge and meeting you for late-night walks around the block. Check out weight loss programs that meet weekly for fun, camaraderie, and tips on nutrition, or go the fitness route and join an aerobics or Pilates class with a core group of members. Sessions with a personal trainer can give you regular, one-on-one help with your unique weight loss demons.

If you're a stellar follower, but not so good at coming up with methods yourself, choose a diet plan that offers sample meals and grocery lists, says Suzanne Farrell, MS, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association and owner of Cherry Creek Nutrition in Denver. Or start your own diet support group, choosing dependable friends who actually have time to offer weight loss help and won't let you get away with making excuses. A group of three or four friends can keep you firmly on the fitness wagon even when one member can't show up. Designate a leader, set a plan of attack and be sure to let your supporters know exactly what you need most from them, whether it's gentle encouragement or the toughest of love.


High Impact exercises are good for the Bones

High Impact exercises are good for the Bones

 



Contrary to the fact that women should be careful while doing high impact exercises as they tend to cause wear and tear if done excessively and could also jar the bones , but research shows  that  subjecting the bones to periodic stress bursts in the form of High intensive exercise would actually add mass to the bones  as people age which is good on the long run.

Recently researchers at the University of Bristol gathered male and female adolescents — the body accumulates bone mass rapidly at this time of life — and had them go about their daily routines while they wore activity monitors. The bone density of the volunteers’ hips was also measured.
A week later, the scientists reclaimed the monitors to check each teenager’s exposure to G forces¬, a measure of impact. Those who experienced impacts of 4.2 G’s or greater — though these were infrequent — had notably sturdier hipbones.

Additional work done by the same researchers showed that running a 10-minute mile or jumping up onto and down from a box at least 15 inches high was needed to produce forces that great. The significance of these findings is that people should probably run pretty fast or jump high to generate forces great enough to help build bone.

So, Dr. Tobias says, young people and healthy adults should probably pound the ground, at least sometimes. Sprint. Jump off a box 15 inches or higher at your gym and jump back up. Hop in place. A study by other researchers published in January found that women between 25 and 50 who hopped at least 10 times twice a day, with 30 seconds between each hop, significantly increased their hipbone density after four months. Another group of subjects, who hopped 20 times daily, showed even greater gains.



Habitual Diet and Pre Digested food

Habitual Diet and Pre Digested food

 


 

Habitual Diet : Watch  Dr Brindavani, Nutritionist speak about pre-digested food which we eat on a regular basis as a habitual diet. These foods go through several processes e.g., idly which is soaked, ground, fermented and eaten. These foods have nutrient benefits, but because of the time taken to make them, people are resorting to eating conventional breakfasts which are faster to make. But the end result is we are missing a lot of nutrients because of these foods. She also gives healthy tips to balance our meals through a proper habitual diet.


Triple-interval training

 

Triple-interval training

 

 

 If you are the serious gym freak checks out the Triple interval training schedule.
Here's how it works: instead of alternating between two intervals, fast and slow, as you would during an HIIT (high-intensity interval training) workout, you alternate between 30-, 20-, and 10-second bouts, building your burn from slow to fast to max.

Benefits: It pushes you harder without your even realizing it. Even when you think you're in high gear, you probably have the capacity to push a little bit more. Here, the last interval forces you to dig down and find whatever you have left to burn and because you know it'll be brief (you can do anything for 10 seconds), you're less likely to slack off, says Nisha Varma, Pune-based Reebok University master trainer. Those last seconds spike metabolism, endurance and speed.

Runners tried it and proved the theory: they shaved seconds off their times and lowered their blood pressure, all while cutting their mileage in half. When tested on walkers, they lost up to 5 kilos and more than 12 inches in 8 weeks. Try it with whichever activity you like best to supercharge your burn; throw in some lower-body toning moves; and balance it with set of calming exercises to keep you cool.

A Kale veg-fruit smoothie for breakfast diet

A  Kale veg-fruit smoothie for breakfast diet 

 


According to Terry Walters, nutrition expert and author of "Clean Food”, your breakfast smoothie isn't very diet-friendly,if you're blending together a bunch of fruit and not much else, the resulting drink is high in calories and not particularly filling. And we've all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it really is true says So to make your go-to smoothie a bit more nutritious, Walters has a simple solution: Throw in some vegetables. "Follow this rule when using a blender: For every fruit that goes in, add a vegetable," she says. For a breakfast smoothie that will keep you full until the afternoon, she suggests using frozen peaches, banana, and as much kale as you can squeeze into the container.


Kale is a super food that contains vitamins, antioxidants and cancer-fighting phytonutrients -- and it has tons of fiber, but only 36 calories per cup. This green leafy vegetable which belongs to the cabbage family is available in many countries and is called  karam saag in Hindi and is more prevalent in the northerm parts of India. Blend it with rice milk, ice, and a spoonful of maple syrup and you are good to go for the day!


Sleep well to lose that belly

Sleep well to lose that belly

 

 

No we didn’t mean that literally!  but the studies have shown that its best to avoid late night parties and staying up late,  if you want to cut the belly fat from growing. There's a reason as to why sleep deprivation can cause belly fat. When you stay awake in the night , your cortisol (stress hormone) levels go high. Typically, cortisol levels drop as you approach your regular bedtime, but studies found that after just one night of no sleep, cortisol in sleep-deprived individuals decreased six times slower the following night than control subjects' who were snoozing as usual. The end result? A major cortisol buildup. High levels of the stress hormone reduce your ability to handle stress, making you more prone to panic attacks and chronic depression. The buildup also kick-starts a vicious cycle: you're tired during the day and can't sleep at night as your stress and the hormone begin to pile up. And this stress which is  linked to cortisol leads to high levels of belly fat in women.


 So get that good night’s sleep for a healthy lifestyle and a healthier body.


Some must have healthy foods in your home
Some must have healthy foods in your home
 
 
 

According to the popular Health magazine here are a few of a some must have foods in your home for health and energy.
• Extra virgin olive oil: so prolific and necessary that it's earned its very own acronym, EVOO is the cornerstone of the peerlessly healthy Mediterranean diet. 

• Nonfat Greek yogurt: because creamy and rich and healthy and low calorie are four descriptors you hardly ever find in the same sentence. Our desi yoghurt is just fine too.

• Quinoa: Dietician Jenna Braddock says that "For one cup of cooked quinoa, you get 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber for just 222 calories. Plus, the hearty whole grain is a good source of energizing iron and B vitamins." Oh, and it's great in salads and soups or as a side dish. This trend has just started in India too.

• Eggs: three words: healthy, affordable and filling and packed with protein.

• Tomato paste: Packs flavor and richness without calories or fat. Plus, it's cheap and chock full of cancer-fighting lycopene. 

• Bananas: cheap, hearty, healthy, flavorful, and diverse and filled with potassium. 

• Garlic:Garlic allows you to add flavor to your dishes quickly and easily without unhealthy fats or processed ingredients.

• Frozen shrimp: low in calories, high in flavor, pack a protein punch. 

• Mustard: bursting with selenium and turmeric, two immune boosting and cancer-fighting components. 

• Dark chocolate: Dark chocolate provides powerful disease-fighting polyphenols and has even been associated with weight loss."

A Kit to measure how Fit you are
A Kit to measure how Fit you are
 
 

 
 
Described as the 'only multi-sensor media monitor available in the UK', Ki Fit is a highly tuned sensor that you wear on your upper arm and which accurately tracks calories burned and the number of steps you take, as well as the efficiency of your sleep.  Combined with a personal online account in which you log all your food and drink intake, you can then accurately track the number of calories burned against the calories you've consumed: the holy grail of weight loss. The device itself is pretty easy to work - you simply attach it to the outside of your upper arm with a Velcro fastening - and then it pretty much looks after itself. 
Meanwhile, an online profile allows you to log in all your meals from a pretty comprehensive series of pre-programmed choices, which you can also modify.

Once a day you need to sync the armband with your computer to get the day's report, while a separate beeper, which you can pop in your handbag, allows you to monitor your progress (it shows steps taken, hours of activity and calories burned). Your daily report includes a series of easy-to-read graphs of your sleep patterns, movements and food intake, which is also broken into a colourful pie-chart showing the percentage of carbs, protein and fat .The device allows the user to track the number of calories burned against the number consumed. The Ki Fit device is available in the United Kingdom as of now.

Hop, Skip to Health and Fitness

 

Hop, Skip to Health and Fitness

 

 

 

Something that we have done long ago as kids has always been the easiest way to burn fat, calories and lose weight. Cheap - all it costs is set of skipping rope which you can purchase in any good sports store and this easily portable exercise can be done anywhere. All you need is some space whether at home, or you are out of town – in your hotel room or on a holiday on the beach. This workout burns more calories per minute than any other workout. Consistent jump rope workouts and a healthy eating plan will likely lead to weight loss. The number of calories you burn from jumping rope 600 times depends on different factors, and you may have to adjust the time you jump to burn enough calories to lose weight.  If you jump at a rate of 70 times per minute, you can estimate the number of calories you burn per minute by multiplying your body weight by .074. If you do 125 jumps per minute, multiply your body weight by .080 to estimate the calories you burn in a minute. If you are faster on your feet and do 145 jumps per minute, estimate the number of calories you burn per minute by multiplying your weight by .089.

So get jumping for a perfect exercise and plenty of fun. And the  best thing about skipping is  that you can do it with your kids too!

Deeksha Seth's Fitness Tip

Deeksha Seth's  Fitness Tip




Actress Deeksha Seth who disappeared from the South Film Industry only to resurface in Bollywood had to go through extensive training for her Hindi Film debut “Lekar Hum Deewana Dil”. A big foodie who doesn’t believe in dieting had to cut down on her binging to get in to shape for the movie.


For their roles, both Deeksha and her co-star Armaan Jain underwent an extensive fitness training schedule for three months to fit into their roles and as part of that she shared her fitness tip - Pilates, which according to her is the in thing this season for her. Pilates demands a lot of focus where you have to concentrate on what you're doing all the time. And you must concentrate on your entire body for smooth movements. In Pilates the way that exercises are done is more important than the exercises themselves.


According to her staying in shape means being fit not just being wafer thin. As part of her exercise routine she does a lot of walking and says that her general active personal lifestyle which including dancing and doing the Hula hoop with her friends make her a fit and active person and gymming is not really what she attributes her fitness to.


Banana fights fatigue

Banana fights fatigue

 


The yellow banana has been seen as fruit which causes body weight but research says otherwise. Eating a banana which has three natural sugars, i.e. sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber can give an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that two bananas are enough to provide energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. It has been a recommended fruit for all leading athletes and sports persons.


Eating a banana after a strenuous workout  will give you that much needed burst of energy and another fact is that it has the power to prevent constipation , stimulates Hemoglobin and blood levels ,has high levels of potassium and iron and are  high in B vitamins that can  help calm the nervous system.  So add at least one banana to your diet for fitness and overcoming fatigue!

Fitness band that shocks you to Hit the Gym

Fitness band that shocks you to Hit the Gym

 

Pavlok,the new fitness band: The Pavlok is a new fitness band prototype that has all the functions of a regular fit band, created by Behavioral Technologies founder and CEO Maneesh Sethi, which  aims to alter your behavior and improve your fitness, too. It does this by prodding you through both positive and negative reinforcement. It will send little shocks to your wrist if you don't head to the gym when you say you're going to. Now that’s a pretty violent way of getting yourself motivated but it will definitely shock you into heading to the gym. Still in the beta stage it will hit the market in September 2014.

Fitness on the sandy beaches

Fitness on the Sandy Beaches

 


Sandy Beach Fitness:Sandy For those who have lived on the coastlines might have experienced the fun of running and playing on the sandy beaches. Research shows that, when done properly, shorter training sessions on a sandy surface may be beneficial to your fitness routine. A 2014 study published in the Journal of Sports Sciences that looked at an eight-week conditioning program for female athletes found that substituting sand for grass increased exercise intensity and training load, thereby improving overall aerobic fitness.



 

Running on sand will make you stronger because you’re dissipating energy out into the sand and working harder to achieve the same speed (as on a solid surface),” says Greg Wells, Assistant Professor of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto. Running on sand helps in building muscle tone and fine motor control as it takes a lot of energy to run on sand. The West Indian Cricket players are known to practice their bowling skills on the beaches as it you have to exert a lot of force to make the ball bounce on the sand. It’s the same principle as it enables core muscles. So the next time you get an opportunity to go the beach try and practice running on the sands…

2. వేడి వేడి టీ, కాఫీ గబుక్కున తాగితే నాలుక కాలినట్టు అవుతుంది. అప్పుడు ఒక చెంచా పంచదార నోట్లో వేసుకుంటే నొప్పి తగ్గుతుంది.

3. ఏదైనా కుట్టినట్టు మంటగా వుంటే వంట సోడాలో కొంచెం నీళ్ళు పోసి కలిపి ఆ పేస్ట్‌ను చీమ, దోమ కుట్టినచోట రాస్తే ఆ దద్దురు, మంట తగ్గుతాయి.

4. ఆగకుండా ఎక్కిళ్ళు వస్తుంటే ఒక చెంచా  చక్కెర నాలుక మీద వేసుకుని చప్పరిస్తే చాలు. నెమ్మదిగా ఎక్కిళ్ళు పోతాయి.

5. కడుపు బరువుగా వుంటే పుదీనా ‘టీ’ తాగితే రిలాక్స్‌గా వుంటుంది. పుదీనా ఆకులను శుబ్రంగా కడిగి చిన్నచిన్న ముక్కలుగా తరగాలి. తెర్లుతున్న నీటిలో పుదీనా ఆకులను వేసి మూత పెట్టాలి. ఆ తర్వాత పాలు, పంచదార కలిపితే పుదీనా టీ రెడీ. పాలు లేకుండా తాగితే ఇంకా మంచిది.

Cola ­ The Wicked Beverage

Cola ­ The Wicked Beverage!

 



The cola cans are the most sort after drinks, which have seeped into our lifestyles lately owing to our fast­paced tech world Every day about 1.7 billion serving of cola is being consumed.

Although it is a popular and refreshing drink it too has serioud repercussions on our health.

A can of cola contains about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30­35 mg caffeine, loaded with harmful artificial flovours and colours, and most importantly the euphoritic feeling which it impart after emptying a can in!
Apart from these additives, the main culprits are high fructose corn syrup and phosphoric acid content.

High fructose corn syrup is is a fructose derivative, a cheap sweetner made from corn, it is harmful not just because it has high sugar content which leads to Diabetes and a number of Liver Ailments, but also affecting the metabolic rate and thereby derailing the pace of the absoption and digestion. Many oeple have a mis- conception that colas aid in digestion but an actual matter of fact is that it inhibits the digestion process Secondly, the phosphoric acid. Acid being a corrisive agent it is the last thing we would like to pour in! Besides it harms the body's ability to utilise calcium, leading to softening of teeth and bones leading to osteoporosis!

The main consumers of colas are the youngsters ­ the future of our country and the working class ­ the present aura of our country! So, for a fruitful future the body and mind of the poeple should be hale and hearty!

Take Care!! Stay Healthy!!

రోజూ స్కిప్పింగ్ చాలు.. ఆరోగ్యం సూపర్..

రోజూ స్కిప్పింగ్ చాలు.. ఆరోగ్యం సూపర్..

రకరకాల వ్యాయామాలపై దృష్టి సారిస్తూ, కొందరు తమ శరీర సౌష్టవాన్ని సంరక్షించుకుంటుంటే., ఇంకొందరు మాత్రం రోజూ ఒకే వ్యాయామాన్ని రోజు అనుసరిస్తూ తమ శరీరాన్ని ఫిట్‌గా ఉంచుకుంటున్నారు. ఇది ఏలా సాధ్యం...

* శరీరం మొత్తానికి ఓకేసారి వ్యాయామం, తాడాట (స్కిప్పింగ్)తో సాధ్యమవుతుందని ఫిట్‌నెస్ ఎక్స్‌పర్ట్‌లు సూచిస్తున్నారు.

* శరీరంలోని అవయవాల కదిలికను వేగవంతం చేయ్యటంతో పాటు వాటి మధ్య సమన్వయానికి స్కిప్పింగ్ తోడ్పడుతుందట.

*  రోజు స్కిప్పింగ్ చేయ్యటం వల్ల శరీరం ధృడత్వాన్ని సంతరించుకోవటంతో పాటు పూర్తి స్థాయిలో ఫిట్‌గా తయారవుతుంది. ఎముకలు గట్టిపడటంతో పాటు చర్మంపై ఏర్పడ్డ ముడతలు తొలగిపోతాయి.

*  స్కిప్పింగ్ చేసేటప్పుడు కొన్ని జాగ్రత్తలు తప్పకుండా తీసుకోవాలి. పాదాలకు రక్షణ లేకుండా స్కిప్పింగ్ చేయ్యటం వల్ల పాదాలకు నొప్పి కలుగుతుంది. దాంతోపాటు పగుళ్లు ఏర్పడతాయి.

* ముఖ్యంగా కాంక్రీట్ నేలపై స్కిప్పింగ్ చేసే సందర్భంలో బూట్లు వేసుకోవటం మంచింది.

* బరువు తగ్గించటంలో స్కిప్పింగ్ కీలక పాత్ర పోషిస్తుంది.

* స్కిప్పింగ్ ప్రారంభించే ముందు ఐదు నిమిషాల పాటు వార్మప్ చేయ్యటం వల్ల శరీరం ఉల్లాసంగా ఉంటుంది.


జాగో... జాగింగ్ కరో!

 

జాగో... జాగింగ్ కరో!


* జాగింగ్ అనేది చక్కని ఆరోగ్య ప్రక్రియ. జాగింగ్ వలన కొన్ని వారాలలోనే మీ శరీరం ఫిట్‌గా తయారవుతుంది. అయితే జాగింగ్ ప్రారంభించటానికి ముందుగా కొన్ని జాగ్రత్తలు తీసుకోవటం చాలా అవసరం.

*  జాగింగ్ చేసేటప్పుడు మంచి దుస్తులు ఎంచుకోండి. మరీ బిగుతుగా ఉన్న వాటిని కాకుండా వదులుగా సౌకర్యవంతంగా ఉన్న వాటిని ధరించండి, పరిగెత్తటానికి మంచి షూలను వాడండి. షూ సరిగా లేనట్లయితే పరిగెత్తటానికి  సౌకర్యంగా ఉండదు.

*  జాగింగ్ ప్రారంభించటానికి ముందుగా, కొన్ని సులభమైన వ్యాయామాలను చేయండి. వీటిని వార్మప్ ఎక్సర్‌సైజులు అంటారు. వేగంగా నడవటం ప్రారంభించి, కొద్ది కొద్దిగా పరిగెత్తి, వేగంగా పరిగెత్తండి. వీటి వలన ప్రశాంతమైన జాగింగ్‌ని ఆస్వాదిస్తారు. 

*   సరైన పద్ధతిలో పరిగెత్తండి. సరైన విధంగా జాగింగ్ చేయకపోవటం వలన వెన్నునొప్పి లేదా వెన్ను సమస్యలు వచ్చే ఇబ్బంది వుంది.

* కాంక్రీటుతో చేసిన నేలపైన జాగింగ్ చేయకుండా గడ్డి ఉండే నేల పైన జాగింగ్ చేయటం వలన కాళ్ళ పైన ఒత్తిడి తగ్గుతుంది. జాగింగ్ చేయటానికి ముందుగా  నీటిని పుష్కలంగా తాగండి. వీలుంటే వాటర్ బాటిల్‌ని వెంట తీసుకెళ్ళండి. జాగింగ్ చేశాక వెంటనే ఆగకుండా నెమ్మదిగా వేగాన్ని తగ్గించి, నెమ్మదిగా నడుస్తూ క్రమంగా ఆపేయండి. 

* రోజు జాగింగ్ చేయటం వలన జిమ్ చేసిన ఫలితాలను పొందుతారు.

* జాగింగ్ ను ఉత్సాహవంతమైన నడకతో ప్రారంభించండి.

* ప్రతిరోజూ 40 నిమిషాల జాగింగ్ వలన శరీర బరువు తగ్గుతుంది. అంతే కాకుండా గుండె సంబంధిత వ్యాధుల ప్రభావాలు కూడా తగ్గుతాయి. మానసిక ఒత్తిడి మాయమైపోతుంది.

* జాగింగ్ వలన శరీర రక్త ప్రసరణ మెరుగు పడటమే కాకుండా గుండెపోటు వచ్చే అవకాశాలు బాగా తగ్గిపోతాయి.

* ప్రతిరోజూ జాగింగ్ చేయడం వలన వారం రోజులలో 1000 కేలరీలు వ్యయమవుతాయి.

ఆహారం + వ్యాయామం = ఆరోగ్యం

ఆహారం + వ్యాయామం = ఆరోగ్యం

 

అందంగా, తక్కువ బరువుతో మెరుపు తీగలా కనిపించాలని కోరుకుంటారు ఎవరైనా. దానికోసం నోరు కట్టేసుకుని ఏమీ తినకుండా కూడా వుంటారు. అయితే తినడం మానేస్తే బరువు తగ్గుతారనుకోవటం అపోహ మాత్రమేనని, సరైన ఆహారం, వ్యాయామం రెండూ అవసరమని వైద్య నిపుణులు చెబుతున్నారు. అందుకే కొన్ని విషయాల పట్ల కొంచెం శ్రద్ద పెట్టండి చాలు... మీరు కోరుకున్నట్టు మెరుపు తీగలా మారటం ఖాయం అంటున్నారు.

1. మొదట గుర్తుపెట్టుకోవలసిన విషయం.." ఒక్కొక్కరి ఒంటి తీరు ఒక్కోలా వుంటుంది. కొందరిలో కొవ్వు ఇట్టే పేరుకుపోతే మరికొందరు ఎంత తిన్నా లావెక్కరు. కాబట్టి అందరికీ వర్తించేలా సూత్రాలు ఏవీ ఉండవని గ్రహించి, బరువు తగ్గాలి అనుకున్నప్పుడు ఒకసారి పోషకాహార నిపుణులని కలసి, మీ జీవన విధానం , తీసుకునే ఆహారం వంటివి చెప్పి సలహా అడగాలి. వారు సూచించిన ప్రకారం ఆహారం తీసుకుంటే బరువు తగ్గటం అందని ద్రాక్ష ఏమి కాదు.

2. యోగ చేయాలని, అది శరీరాన్ని, మనసుని ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉంచుతుందని ఎప్పటి నుంచో వింటున్నాం. ఒకరోజు చేసి, ఒక రోజు మానేసి లేదా ఏ టీవీలోనో చూసి  సొంతగా చేయటం కాకుండా, ఈ యోగకి కూడా ట్రైనింగ్ తీసుకుంటే.. ఆ ట్రైనర్ మీ శరీర తత్వాన్ని బట్టి, ఆరోగ్య సమస్యలను బట్టి మీరు ఏ ఆసనాలు వేయచ్చు అన్నది నిర్ణయిస్తారు. అప్పుడు మీరు కోరుకున్న లక్ష్యం చేరటం కష్టం కాదు.

3. నడక వెంటనే మొదలు పెట్టగలిగిన ఓ వ్యాయామం. ప్రకృతితో మమేకం అయ్యేలా చేసే శక్తి నడకకి వుంది. ఆరోగ్యాన్నీ కాపాడుతుంది.

4. డాన్స్ అంటే చిన్నప్పుడు చాలా ఇష్టం. కాని ఇప్పుడు టైం లేదు... అనేది చాలామంది చెప్పగా వింటుంటాం. చిన్నప్పుడే కాదు.. ఇప్పుడు డాన్స్ చేయచ్చు మీ ఫిట్‌నెస్ కోసం. వీలైతే నేర్చుకోండి. లేదా చక్కగా పిల్లలతో కలసి పాటలు పెట్టుకుని మీకు నచ్చినట్టు, వచ్చినట్టు డాన్స్ చేయండి. రోజు అలా చేస్తే ఉల్లాసంగా ఉండచ్చు, ఆరోగ్యంగా కూడా ఉండచ్చు. శరీరంలోని ప్రతి అవయవాన్ని కదిలించేలా డాన్స్ చేస్తే కాలరీలు ఇట్టే ఖర్చు అవుతాయి.

5. మంచి నీరు సరిపడా తాగుతున్నారో లేదో చూసుకోండి. పళ్ళ రసాలు తాగటం మంచిదే కాని అందులో పంచదార వేయకుండా తాగితేనే ఫలితం.

ఫిట్‌నెస్ కావాలంటే ఈ చిన్న చిన్న విషయాల పట్ల కూడా శ్రద్ధ పెట్టాలి. ఫిట్‌గా వుంటే ఆక్టివ్‌గా ఉండచ్చు. ఆక్టివ్‌గా వుండేవారి వయసు పెరగదుట. ఎప్పుడూయూత్‌లానే కనిపిస్తారు. మరి మీరు ఆ కాంప్లిమెంట్స్  పొందాలంటే ప్రయత్నాలు ప్రారంభించండి.

పనితోపాటు ఆహారమూ ముఖ్యమే

 

పనితోపాటు ఆహారమూ ముఖ్యమే


ఉద్యోగం చేసే ఆడవారు ఇంట్లో, బయటా పని ఒత్తిడితో తమ ఆహారం విషయంలో పెద్దగా శ్రద్ధ పెట్టరు. దాంతో వయసు పెరిగినకొద్దీ అనారోగ్య సమస్యలు చుట్టుముడుతుంటాయి. రోజువారీ తీసుకునే ఆహారం విషయంలో చిన్నచిన్న జాగ్రత్తలు పాటిస్తే ఆ సమస్యలు రాకుండా చూసుకోవచ్చు అంటున్నారు పోషకాహార నిపుణులు. సాధారణంగా రెండుపూటలా తీసుకునే ఆహారంతోపాటు మధ్యమధ్యలో తప్పనిసరిగా ఏదో ఒకటి తింటుండాలిట. అయితే ఆ ఏదో ఒకటి అధిక క్యాలరీలని పెంచేది కాక ఆరోగ్యాన్నీ, శక్తినీ ఇచ్చేది అయితే మంచిది అంటూ కొన్ని సూచనలు చేస్తున్నారు.

1. సాయంత్రం వేళ ఆకలిగా అనిపించినప్పుడు సలాడ్ల వంటివి తీసుకోవాలి. సలాడ్ల వల్ల శరీరానికి తక్కువ కేలరీలు అందుతాయి. ఆకలి తీరుతుంది కూడా. అందులోనూ క్యాబేజీని సలాడ్‌లో కలిపి తీసుకుంటే దీనిలోని ‘గ్లాటామైన్’ అనే అమినో యాసిడ్ చిన్న పేగు ఆరోగ్యంగా పనిచేసేట్టు చూస్తుంది. డైజేషన్ ఇబ్బందుల వంటివి తగ్గుతాయి.

2. బాదం, జీడిపప్పు తదితర డ్రై ఫ్రూట్స్ నేరుగా తీసుకోవడం వల్ల  కొలెస్ట్రాల్ సమస్య వుండదు. వీటిలో విటమిన్ ‘ఇ’తోపాటు మాంనీస్, విటమిన్ బి2, ఫాస్పరస్, మెగ్నీషియం, కాపర్ ఉంటాయి. డ్రై ఫ్రూట్ర్‌ని మధ్యాహ్నం వేళ తీసుకుంటే శక్తి లభిస్తుంది.

3. వేరుశనగలు కూడా ఆరోగ్యానికి మంచివి. వీటిలో మాంసకృత్తులతోపాటు బి3, కాపర్, మాంగనీస్ వంటి పోషక విలువలు సమృద్ధిగా వుంటాయి. కాబట్టి వేరుశనగలని వేయించి లేదా ఉడికించి ఓ చిన్న బాక్సులో వేసుకుని ఆకలి అనిపించినప్పుడు నాలుగు గింజలు నోట్లు వేసుకుంటే చాలు ఆకలి తీరుతుంది. ఓపిక వస్తుంది.

4. ఇక పండ్లు తింటే శరీరంలోకి అనవసర కేలరీలు చేరవు. ఆకలి అదుపులో వుంటుంది. అరటిపండుని ఉదయాన్నే బ్రేక్‌ఫాస్ట్‌తోపాటు తీసుకుంటే రోజంతటికీ కావలసిన శక్తి లభించినట్టే. ఎందుకంటే అరటిపండ్లలోని కాల్షియం, ప్రొటీన్లు, ఐరన్‌లతోపాటు కార్బొహైడ్రేట్లు త్వరితగతిన శక్తినిస్తాయి. ఇక ఆపిల్స్‌లోని విటమిన్ ‘ఎ’, ఐరన్, బొప్పాయిలోని విటమిన్ ఎ, కె, ఇ తదితర పోషకాలు శక్తినివ్వడమే కాకుండా ఆరోగ్యానికీ మేలు చేస్తాయి.

5. మొలకెత్తిన గింజల్ని ఓ గుప్పెడు నోట్లో వేసుకుంటే చాలు వీటిలో సమృద్ధిగా లభించే మాంసకృత్తులు శరీరానికి శక్తినిస్తాయి. చురుగ్గా వుంచుతాయి.

ఇలా రోజు మొత్తంలో అప్పుడప్పుడు ఏదో ఒకటి నోట్లో వేసుకుంటే ఓపిక లేకపోవడం అన్న సమస్య వుండదు. బరువు పెరుగుతామనే భయమూ వుండదు. చలాకీగా రోజువారీ పనులు ఏ ఆటంకం లేకుండా చేసుకోవచ్చు.

Fitness starts with Diet

 

Fitness starts with Diet

 

Whether we want to gain weight or loose weight, or maintain the healthy weight one has been carefully managing, it is all in the hands of healthy diet. Eating oily and inflammatory foods definitely doesnot help continue in the right path. Hence, the first step towards health is always a good diet.  Make a list of the regularly consumed foods and identify the most oily and inflammatory foods (foods that force bloating in the body). Replace the identified bad items with good vitamin and mineral supplementing foods. Add 8 medium glasses of water to the daily diet. During snack time in the evening, replace deep fried items with Green Tea, Lemon Tea or Fruits. Make up your mind to follow breakfast, lunch and dinner timings you have setup...and make a point not to skip them. Based on your health condition, identify 4-5 good exercises for practice daily. (Not every exercise is suggested for people with backache, skipdisk, arthritis, diabetes etc.,conditions.)  Keep stock of Lemons in the kitchen for consumption. Get an ordinary Mat or Yoga mat ready.

With the basic foundation ready, Lets get deeper into Fitness from tomorrow !!

Fitness-day1 of the new fitness regime

Fitness-day1 of the new fitness regime


Usually, we all are used to drinking a cup of coffee, or tea, or just simply milk as our first food in the morning. Breakfast is definitely important. Fitness with Detoxification goes well, hand in hand. For years, we have consumed foods with pesticides and chemicals, all those have toxic affect on our body. A cup of warm water with a small fresh lemon squeezed does wonders to detoxify the human body. If you like, you can add few drops of honey. Let this be the first drink of the day, everyday!

After the warm lemon water, give a break for 30mins and start with breathing and just a few warm up exercises. The web provides numerous exercises suitable for every health condition. Warm up exercises are the ones we all learnt at school. Followup with actual exercises, depending on your requirement, some are for toning, some for muscle buildup, some for strength and stamina, etc.,Some of us have back, neck, knee problems...carefully choosing the right kind of exercise is also important. Start your initial workout session, Day1 with only 15mins of exercising. Gradually, increase the timing at an interval of 5 days-1week. You will feel hungry now. Have a glass of fatfree milk or a heavy healthy breakfast.

The rest of the day is in your hands, but make sure you drink 8 palm length glasses of water through the day. Keep a watch and dont consume oily foods. If you have done most of the jobs i mentioned, count this as Day 1 of your new regime. Rest follows!!

Web also provides online training, however, a well-qualified instructor can teach better on personal interaction with the aspirant. Hence, it is always a good idea to not try new exercise methods alone at home, without the presence of an instructor. Overall, Pilates is known to be a sensible exercise method.

Fitness Failures

Fitness Failures

Fitness Myths and Failures occur often to many of us. Be it due to not having a proper understanding of why fitness is necessary, positive impact of different exercises, side effects of exercising wrongly, the value of eating right for a fit body..etc. many of us want to start a fitness plan without a Fitness Guru, by just getting motivated by a friend's regime or after we watch a fitness program on TV. Usually, people get discouraged by their own looks compared to others and then one fine day, suddenly they want to exercise rigorously to tone their bulgy tummy and look better than a friend. Whatever the reason of motivation is, it is always good to understand and analyse ones need of particular exercise moves instead of choosing the wrong ones and suffering from exercising wrongly.

The initial few days after starting a fitness plan, ones body feels sore, but as days go by, there would be only feeling good than feeling sore. Most of the aspirants tend to leave the whole idea of exercising for fitness within the first few days due to the soreness of the body...they expect instant feel good factor, which is difficult to achieve...after all the body is new to exercising, or it also happens when one has started exercising after a long break. There is nothing like a bad day for workout, except for a few delicate days in the life of a woman. Even during those days, we can just do up simple neck, hand and wrist moves. A persistant motivation is what is necessary. Maintaining a good, balanced diet is also important to achieve the required fitness, which doesnot happen so quickly when we continue to eat wrong during the fitness regime. All these wrong methods of following a plan, create a failed fitness plan. Fitness Gurus suggest, one has a positive and a flexible mind set to mould the body to the desired fitness level.

Cook Rightly

Most of us want to avoid rice and related food from our diet as we are so much worried about the callories we add and weight gain problems we may get, with our regular rice intake. But researchers have proved that by making little alterations to our regular cooking process, we can reduce the calorie intake compared to conventional methods of cooking.

Instead of pressure cooker, try to cook rice ditrectly in a vessel. First pour water in the container and allowallow it to boil. Then add 1 table spoon vegetable oil or coconut oil and then add rice to water. Once rice is cooked completely, then spread in wide plate to let it release vapour.

In this process, you are actually breaking the chemical structure of rice so that it looses its characteristic feature.

So, next time when you want to enjoy seasonal pickles and other regional dishes, dont be hesitant to consume rice; but cook your own rice dish and satisfy your taste buds.

Happy eating!!

Many reasons to stop Fitness

 Many reasons to stop Fitness 

 

When someone starts exercising people mock....i dont understand the reason, but i have seen quite a few doing it....they say fitness is not for everyone...and these silly questions and suggestions come from different corners... Why are you dieting? Are you getting old? Why cant you stay fit by just eating right? Dont overdo and strain your body! You are getting tired by exercising!

When a person starts a good thing, there are 10 behind him to stop, not because its right, but because they are wrong...dont let anyone demotivate you as you think of fitness...Some might suggest a Doctor's advice, nothing wrong in doing it, such people are not harmful, but the ones who dont let you stay fit are.

Set your mind, build the interest and motivation, stay around people who encourage fitness and better health. And then there will be no turning back, not much running behind the Doctors. If you are not interested, atleast dont discourage others about fitness !!!

Pinch Of Salt

Pinch Of Salt

“If you are aiming for a healthy life, reducing salt in your food intake is must” say our Health experts.

Especially people who are suffering from high blood pressure, Heart related problems have to lessen their salt consumption. Small amounts of salt are essential for our health and we have to take salt on a regular basis as there is no mechanism in our body which can store salt. This is the reason, we have to take ½ tea spoon of salt which is sufficient for our body, but here, we are taking more than the recommended salt which is putting us at risk of all of these health problems. The good news is that reducing your salt intake can lower your blood pressure and the risk of diseases. In fact cutting down your salt intake to ½ teaspoon per day, you will see improvement in health. The lower the salt intake, the lower the blood pressure.

A high salt diet increases the risk of stomach cancer; taking excess salt can damage the lining of the stomach and risk of ulcers also very high in these cases. Excess salt intake can cause Osteoporosis, this is a condition which causes thinning of bones, making them brittle and prone to breaking. Most calcium in the body is stored in bones. A high salt diet can cause calcium to be lost from bones and excreted in the urine, making bones weak and easily broken. High blood pressure caused by a high salt diet can speed up the loss of calcium from bones, worsening the problem. Older people are most at risk of osteoporosis because bones naturally become thinner as we get older.

Women are particularly at risk of bone thinning, during their menopause time, due to the drop in the hormone estrogen which normally protects bone health. However, men, women and children of all ages need to look after their bone health to avoid osteoporosis later on. Avoiding salty foods, reducing salt in regular cooking is advisable for all the age groups in the family.

Doctors and health experts also advise People who are Obese to reduce their salt intake. Salt does not cause weight gain but it does make you thirsty, this leads you to drink more fluids, if the fluids are sugary drinks they can cause weight gain because they contain a lot of energy. This is a major problem for children and teenagers as a third of the fluids they drink are sugary soft drinks. So whenever you are diagnosed with these above said problems you have to cut down salt in the food.

Rules in Friendship

 

Rules in Friendship??

 

(Friendship Day Special)

 

From last two days, both print and electronic media are bombarding with ads on celebrating “Friendship Day”; creative ways of celebrating this occasion like buying lunch/ dinner, gifts and clothing etc. But is this what is called celebrating friendship?

I don't think so; rather, friendship day is one special day comes once in a year to pause for a while in this busy schedules and give a thought on what friendship and friends are all about. Every one will have so many friends in this journey called life, however varies in number. But in major cases, life starts with many friends as one will have so many in childhood and slowly by the end of schooling we will remain with few friends who are in line with our thought process or people whose choices, are likes and dislikes same like ours. Once, we grow up, we start categorising our friends like close friends, known friends and just familiar persons. Though our friends change through out this journey, one thing is very constant here; i.e.we make friends who have similar taste like us or people who think same like us.


Friendship differs with gender where as men will be able to continue with old friendships; some how, for women, this above equation suddenly changes when they have the knot tied. Few relocate to husband's place, few move to in laws house. Suddenly whole life changes with new role and responsibilities and so as friends circle.Though women try to stay in touch with old group, there will be so many constraints; few still try to manage to connect with old friends but majority of women have to forego their friends in the transition phase of life. This very simple change can put women under tremendous pressure and can also create lot of insecurities about life. To avoid, this stage, “being organised is the only way” say experts. According to them, people who lead life in a systematic way will always have clarity in every thing. And women who have efficiency in multi tasking, will be able to manage different groups of people in life. Once this happen, then you will not have to choose one between friends and family but you will learn to balance both successfully.


There are few more scenarios like, you make new friends when you are growing in life. Your colleagues or neighbours may become your friends in due course of time. This is the time where each one has to respect their relationship and space. When friendship blossoms among matured minds, we have to be more matured to construct this beautiful bond which is long lasting. Never ever take people for granted. Not you be available to others to do so.

Even when you take utmost care in friendship, sometimes you end up with few misunderstandings. But never go personal, even when you argue on issues, make it subjective. When you practice this , it takes no time to patch up. Leave no space for EGO. If you are right or wrong accept it and explain to other person why you are taking that stand. Sometimes, when you can't make the other person understand your point, don't blame the person or your choice of friends. But stay calm for a while and leave space for others. This matured act of your will surely make your friends hook to you. If not, still never find fault with any.. Remember, we meet many people in this beautiful journey called life, few travel along with us till the end and few get down when their destination is different from ours. Keep moving and spreading smiles is the only thing we have to do all the time.

Happy friendship day!!

Note: Silence kills any form of relationship including Friendship, so learn to communicate.

Workout Regime

 

Workout Regime

Have you ever wondered on how people can maintain fitness and continuity in their workouts? Answer : is KISS- Keep It Short & Simple.

Yes, most of the women who stay fit, won't follow any short cut methods to reduce and loose weight, but they start slow and increase their workout time as their stamina builds up.

Exercising little and often is one of the most effective ways to build activity into your day – no more adventures to make the gym straight after work. This is most suitable and beneficial for working women. And one more benefit of small workouts is they take you away from your desk. They help you to refresh at work place. “We found it helpful to get up every hour, stroll to the departments in next block and stretch our backs” say people who follow this.

If you have time to invest, taking 20 minutes a day twice a week will help tone the entire body. Of late, experts recommending interval training. According to them, it is most basic form; interval training might involve walking for two minutes, running for two minutes, and alternating this pattern throughout the duration of a workout.

The most important thing one needs to remember in the initial days of fitness trainings is that, you should never run for perfection or uncertain goal that can't be met. That leaves you with a disappointment. Don't be worried, if you can't run for 30 minutes. Make it a habit to walk 30 minutes a day, then slowly add time, distance, and intensity from there. Slow and steady wins the race for sure. All the best!!

How to achieve your fitness goals

 

How to achieve your fitness goals

 


Turning fitness routine into a habit by staying on track is not at all easy.... Though, we all know that regular exercise is good for us, but actually putting that knowledge into practice isn’t always easy. While we may take out expensive gym memberships, swimming classes or pampering self with new workout kits, still, staying committed for the long run looks tough. No matter, how serious we are about achieving our weight management goals, we often slip off.

But, here are few tips given by experts by assuring results in achieving long and strong workout goals.

“Have no time for workout” is not an excuse at all- say experts. Workouts don’t necessarily have to be lengthy or laborious if you’re looking to lose weight or get healthier. A short, sharp, consistent work out sessions are useful to shed down weight, they add. In fact, attending gym classes for three to four times per week is ideal; this will take care of your week.

We tend to skip workout classes because of so many reasons, like work pressures, travelling or not really feel like going to the gym or could be anything. But, if you do skip few workouts, remember that the longer you leave the classes or the many you miss, the harder it’s going to feel when you go back. Before you decide to skip, consider the efforts you have been put in and look back and see how far you’ve already come – If you are able to think this way, I am sure you can not afford to miss any of your fitness sessions.

Instead of thinking workout out as penalizing oneself, feel it as a gift you are giving to your body and mind. When you treat exercise as a form of punishment, as something to be endured not enjoyed, then it becomes painful. As long as you enjoy doing workouts and see pleasure out of  each session you attend, then this feeling itself motivates you to the next level.

When you get bored of your fitness routine, switch things up to next level by trying new classes, working out different body parts and varying the intensity of your workout. But, make sure that, your workout sessions always pep you up.
Good luck!!

When to start Post partum workouts

 

Doctors prescribe for a reasonable exercise regime for pregnant woman. If, followed, then it will have a healthy impact and help women before delivery and also to recoup fast, even after delivering the baby.

when, women exercise throughout pregnancy and had a normal vaginal delivery, then its safe to do light exercise like walking, modified push-ups, and stretching – within days of giving birth. Starting slowly with a low-impact aerobic activity such as walking and when regain strength, then increase the length or number of walks.

In case of c-section, consult with your doctor first, before proceeding ahead. But , have to wait until your recovery from operation before beginning an exercise program. An incision from a c-section takes at least several weeks to heal, and it may be some time after that before you feel like working out. However, walking at an easy pace is encouraged because it promotes healing and helps prevent blood clots and other complications.

In any case, carrying out fitness program through out pregnancy was not happened, then there is a possibility that, joints and ligaments will still be loose for about three to five months, so watch your step to avoid falling. If you still want to take an exercise class, try to take classes by a postpartum exercise specialist. Now a days many recreation centers, gyms, and yoga studios offer exercise classes for new moms. Or you could always go for a low-impact class that focuses on toning and stretching.

Exercise is good for you, but don't overdo it for the first few months after giving birth. Your body needs time to heal, and you need time to adjust to your new role – and bond with your baby is most important than above all.

Are You Working Out In The Right Way

 

Are You Working Out In The Right Way ?

You may be working very hard at the gym, but if it is not giving you the desired results, may be you are doing something wrong. Most of the women look at weight loss when they decide to work out, along with maintaining general health. Let us take a look at some things you might be missing while working out.

The first thing you need to learn, when you decide to workout is, not to give up. Exercising is an activity that shows results over a period of time. The time required for getting what you want, differs from one women to another and also depends a lot on the exercise you do. Ask an expert to get the best results. Once you realize that certain type of workout is not resulting in any positive change in your body, change to something else. Realizing the need to bring a change is crucial. Understand your body and see what works for it. There is no point wasting your time and energy on something that does not bring out good results.

If you are beginning to work out for the first time or you are restarting after a long time, there are some things you must know. Do not over do it in the first go. Take it easy for the first few times. You can increase the intensity of your exercise gradually. You might experience cramps after the first work out but you must know that its normal. Don’t let it break your routine of working out everyday.

What you eat after the work out is also important. Make healthy choices here too. Have a glass of water instead of a cup of coffee. Grab a sandwich instead of stuffing yourself with a heavy meal immediately after working out. Remember, there is no point burning all the calories at the gym if you are simply going to add to them once you come home.

To make sure that you didn’t injure yourself during the work out, stretch your body before and after exercising. When you take care of your body in this way, you will realize that working out can actually be right.

No Overdose Please

 

No Overdose Please

In this competitive world, peer pressure and social pressures are pushing people in to problems. One among them is, over doing workouts just to reach a zero size body. But have you ever thought about the repercussions this over exercise has? Every body in this planet is unique and responds differently to different workouts. “When you aim to own certain size and shape and do too much of work outs without listening to your body or not knowing the characteristics of your body, then the results will bring more complications than ever” say experts. You might end up with physiological, psychological or hormonal imbalances which are too dangerous.

Before starting any work out plan, consulting your family doctor is must. Especially for women, if you had deliveries and surgeries then you have to take advise from your gynaecologist on your wait loss or gain. Then they will tell you the figure you have to arrive based on your age, medical background. But never ever jump in to conclusion and play with your body by undergoing too much of workout regime unless doctor prescribes the same.

Avoid too much work out: When you are working out in a gym having no expert around or having no knowledge on how to use and how much to use the machines then it might cause injuries to you. So avoid too much workout than the required dose.

Listen to your body: When the exercises you are doing cross the normal limit then body will surely give you an alarm. Be open to receive the same. You body is your best friend and tells you what is good for you and what is not. Catch the signals and stop there when your body is saying you are already overburdened.

Address health issues: When doing regular work outs and proper exercise can bring back your health, it can even destroy more if you cross the limit and do excessive workout. so make sure that your exercises are always as advised by your trainer / expert.

Pulling the socks up

 

  Pulling the socks up

 

Winter is a season where in we want to tuck ourseleves in the bed for more time,and be warm...We don't feel like doing anything in the morning times. But time will stop for none,neither your responsibilities . Cooking meals, Packing boxes and getting ready for the day will never stop unless and until you are on a holiday or you are a man..Women are the only ones who have this problem in Indian scenario.

So in these dull winter mornings for any women going for a workout or a walk will virtually be out of their routine. And we have N number of reasons tell, "i will catch cold, have sinus,body is paining,etc.".But where will the calories go, of the hot samosas,mirchi bajji and hot masala things u ate the whole day?of the hot teas u drank every hour?.The the lethargy you show in these winter days will allow the calories to sit quietly in our body and enhance the fat tissues,thats why we feel we are more heavier in winter when compared to any other season.

Now what can we do to pull ourselves out of that warm blanket and flush out those calories from our body??

* Make an attempt sleep early,as early as possible, because sleep deprivation will never allow you to get out of the bed on a winter morning.

* Try and eat less oil/fats as far as possible, so that even if you are not working out some days fat deposites won't me much

* Cheat for some days ,pamper your body with ample fats ,but with a sincere promise to your own self to shed the fat soon(This will give u guilty free enjoyment)

* Tell yourself that you are doing work out for your own good,not to show off, so that you won't cheat the mins of work out

* Lastly ...Never torture your body with heavy work out,even for a day. Go slow. If you try to compensate a missing day of workout  on the next work out session...your body will totally give up, and you will remain a loser at the end of the day..

Keep rocking,love your body in what ever shape n size it is, love your work outs....Be healthy!!

Why Am I Not Able To Lose Weight ??

 

 

Why Am I Not Able To Lose Weight ??

 



This has been a tough question to be answered. For those of you who feel nothing can make them lose weight ," dieting , gym, yoga..nothing can help them reach near their target weight" - scientists think they might have found a reason why. A new study has identified a protein that locks excess fat in our bodies, preventing it from being burned off easily.

And while its irritating to know that our bodies are fighting against our attempts to lose weight, the discovery could help to explain why overweight people find it so difficult to shed the additional pounds.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge in the UK focused on a protein  They found that mice without this gene that codes for this protein burned off excess weight significantly faster than those that had it. It appears that the more excess fat these animals had, the harder the  protein worked, in a kind of self-preservation mechanism.

So why would our bodies be fighting against our attempts to lose weight? Human bodies store fat in two forms: white adipose and brown adipose tissue. White adipose fat is 'regular' fat that's burned to give us energy when needed. Brown adipose fat, on the other hand - which babies have an abundance of - is solely used to keep us warm, and this gene's job is to make sure it isn't 'wasted' on any other kind of pursuit (like powering a lengthy session on the treadmill or workout).

When investigating this gene in human subjects, they found a correlation between body mass and levels of the protein. "Our discovery may help explain why overweight individuals find it incredibly hard to lose weight," said the researcher . "Their stored fat is actively fighting against their efforts to burn it off at the molecular level."

Knowing this, the researchers say they could manipulate this protein to find potential treatments for both obesity and eating disorders in the future. Thermogenesis - the production of heat by the human body - has become an area of growing interest for scientists tackling problems related to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, but until now, very few molecules had been identified that can decrease thermogenesis.

"We have found an important mechanism that could be targeted not just to help increase people's ability to burn fat, but also help people with conditions where saving energy is important, such as anorexia nervosa," said some researchers

The researchers admit that a drug to combat or fight obesity is still some way off, but their findings could be used to inform the development of future treatments. The study has been published in Nature Communications.So guys and girls, pep yourself up to keep up your workout regime,and wait for the medication to fight this protein gene.

Keep Healthy!!!

తీపి దగ్గర తడబడుతున్నారా?

తీపి దగ్గర తడబడుతున్నారా?

అమ్మాయిలకు స్వీట్స్ కు ఉన్న అవినాభావ సంబంధం గురించి ప్రత్యేకంగా చెప్పక్కర్లేదు. చాక్లెట్లు, ఐస్ క్రీములు, ఇంకా తీపి పదార్థాలు అంటే చెప్పలేనంత ఇష్టం. మరీ ముఖ్యంగా బయటకు ఎక్కడికైనా వెళితే స్నేహితులు, కుటుంబ సభ్యులతో కలిసి ఏదైనా వేడుక చేసుకుంటే తీపి పదార్థాల వల్ల కలిగే ఇబ్బందుల గురించి మనసులో ఒకవైపు భయం ఉన్నా వాటిని వదల్లేక తినేస్తుంటారు.  అయితే ఇలా తీపి పదార్థాలను తినడం అనేది సాధారణమైన అలవాటు కాదని. దీని వెనుక కారణం ఉందని చెబుతున్నారు శాస్త్రవేత్తలు.

తీపి తినాలని అనిపించడానికి కారణాలు!!

ఒత్తిడికి లోనవడం తీపి తినడానికి కారణం అవుతుంది అనే మాట ఒకింత ఆశ్చర్యానికి గురిచేస్తుంది. కానీ ఇది నిజమని తెలిసింది. ఒత్తిడికి లోనైనప్పుడు సహజంగానే శరీరానికి నిస్సత్తువ ఆవరించినట్టు బలహీనంగా అనిపిస్తూ ఉంటుంది. అలాంటప్పుడు తెలియకుండానే ఏదైనా తీపి తినాలని అనిపిస్తుంది. అలా అనిపించగానే మహిళలు ఇంట్లోనూ, బయట పనిచేసేచోటా తీపి కోసం చాక్లెట్ ల మీదా బయట అమ్మే తీపి పదార్థాల మీద ఆధారపడతారు.

చాలామంది మహిళలను వేధించే సమస్యలలో నిద్రలేమి ముఖ్యమైనది. నిద్రలేమి ఉన్నవారికి శరీరంలో కలిగే హార్మోన్స్ ప్రభావం వలన తీపి తినాలని అనిపిస్తుంది.

అలసట అనేది మనిషిలో అంతర్లీనంగా భాగమైపోయి కనిపించే సమస్య. చాలామంది అలసటను గురైనప్పుడు చాక్లెట్ నోట్లో వేసుకోగానే ఎనర్జీ వచ్చినట్టు ఫీలవతారు. ఆ కారణంతో చాక్లెట్ లకు స్వీట్ లకు అలవాటు పడితే వాటికి ఆడిక్ట్ అయిపోతారు.

శారీరక శ్రమ లేనివాళ్ళలో స్వీట్లంటే ఎక్కువ ఇష్టం ఉంటుందట. శరీరంలో ఏర్పడ్డ మార్పులు దీనికి కారణమవుతాయి. శారీరక శ్రమ లేనప్పుడు సహజంగానే మనుషులు మహా బద్ధకంగా కనిపిస్తుంటారు. వారికి స్వీట్లు, చాక్లెట్లు అంటే చెప్పలేని మక్కువ ఏర్పడుతుంది.

శరీరంలో తగినంత నీతి శాతం లేకపోయినప్పుడు కూడా తీపి మీదకు మనసు మల్లుతుందట. బాడీ డీహైడ్రేషన్ అయినప్పుడు తీపి తినాలని అనిపించినా సందర్భాలు గుర్తుచేసుకుంటే ఇది నిజమేనని అనిపిస్తుంది. నోరు తడి ఆరిపోవడం తీపి తినాలని అనిపించడం గమనించవచ్చు.

ఈ సమస్యకు చెక్ పెట్టాలి ఇలా….

తీపి తినాలని అనిపించినప్పుడు ఎక్కువ చెక్కెరలు కలిగిన పదార్థాలను టచ్ చేయకూడదు. తీపిని కంట్రోల్ లో పెట్టాలంటే కొన్ని టెక్నిక్స్ వాడాలి.

తీపి తినాలని అనిపించినప్పుడు చాక్లెట్ లు తినడం చాలామంది అలవాటు.  డార్క్ చాక్లెట్ లు పెద్ద పెద్దవి కొనుక్కుని లాగిస్తారు. అలా చేస్తే చాలా మొత్తంలో కేలరీలు పొట్టలోకి చాలా సులువుగా వెళ్లిపోతాయి. పైపెచ్చు అంత పెద్ద చాక్లెట్ లు ప్రతిసారి కొనడం అంటే కష్టమే. అందుకే చిన్న చిన్న చాక్లెట్  లేదా పెద్ద చాక్లెట్ లో చిన్న ముక్కలు ఒక రెండు మాత్రమే తీసుకోవాలి. ఇలా తీసుకుంటే కాసింత ఉత్సాహం వచ్చినట్టు ఉంటుంది.

తీపి అంటే స్వీట్లు, చాక్లెట్లు మాత్రమే కాదు. తీపిని ఇచ్చే పదార్థాలు చాలా ఉంటాయి. చిలగడ దుంప, స్వీట్ కార్న్ మొదలైన వాటిలో తీపిదనం బానే ఉంది. కాబట్టి తీపి తినాలని అనిపించినప్పుడు వాటిని తీసుకోవచ్చు.

తీపికి కేరాఫ్ అడ్రస్ గా డ్రై ఫ్రూట్స్ ని పేర్కొనవచ్చు. కిస్మిస్, ఖర్జూరం, అంజీర్ మొదలైన ఎండు ఫలాలలో తీపిదనం ఎక్కువ కాబట్టి తీసుకోవచ్చు.

అన్నిటికంటే ఉత్తమమైనవి ఆరోగ్యమైనవి సహజమైన పండ్లు. అరటి, బొప్పాయి, దానిమ్మ, ఆరెంజ్, సపోటా ఇలా చెప్పుకుంటూ పోతే ప్రతి పండు తీపిదనాన్ని నింపుకున్నదే. కాబట్టి తీపి కోసం మనసు కొట్టుకుంటున్నప్పుడు హాయిగా పండ్లను తీసుకోవచ్చు.

తీపికి మరొక ఆప్షన్ తేనె, బెల్లం. తీపి తినాలని అనిపించినప్పుడు టీ స్పూన్ తేనె లేదా ఓ ముక్క బెల్లం నోట్లో వేసుకుంటే మంచిది.

అమ్మో తీపి తినాలని అనిపిస్తుంది. తింటే లావైపోతాం. అనే సందేహాలు పెట్టుకోకుండా పైన చెప్పుకున్న ప్రత్యామ్నాయాలు ఫాలో అయితే సమస్యే ఉండదు.

This is how too much sweet affects your child's behaviour

 

 

This is how too much sweet affects your child's behaviour

 

 

It is a common practice in almost every household to make our children feast on chocolates irrespective of when they are happy or sad. Chocolates and sweets do the trick for parents when it comes to making kids do something that the parents want them to do. But what a lot of them don't realise is sugar and other carbohydrate intake can dramatically impact children’s behavior, particularly their activity levels.

 

Scientists and researchers alike have for long suspected that consuming large amounts of sugars may lead to childhood health problems. Research suggests that there are many negative effects associated with children consuming diets heavy in sugars which mainly includes hyperactivity and obesity..

 

In a recently conducted survey, it was revealed that that sugar consumption contributes to the aggravation of the symptoms of ADHD, including hyperactivity, aggression and destructive behaviour. Also the research saw children being more calmer when there is less intake of sugars.

 

Apart from hyperactivity, excess consumption of sugar also leads to obesity and Malnutrition in kids. Researchers also found that children who consumed more sugar and sweetened beverages had the highest probability of being obese. This is because sugar and sweetened beverages are absorbed quickly in the bloodstream, causing an increase in blood sugar levels. When blood sugar levels are high, any calories provided by these sugars that are not used right away are then stored for later use as fat.

 

It is observed that many children who consume excessive amounts of sugar are overweight, but the reality is they may still be malnourished. The weight of the child does not always convey if he is well nourished. This is because foods high in sugars provide empty calories. Empty calories are calories that provide little to no nutritional value.

 

Children who fill up on empty calories are likely to miss essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, that would be provided by a nutrient-dense meal. This may lead to malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies.

 

Another recent research by scientist supports the idea that a breakfast with a lower sugar load may improve short-term memory and also the attention span of children at school. Giving your child a breakfast which contains finer , such as oatmeal, whole-grain bread, etc, instead of loads of refined sugar will keep adrenaline levels more constant and make the school day a more productive and happier experience. So the next time you have to pack the lunch box for your child make sure you include delicacies with good fibre content in it which will take their day and surely yours more delightful.

Boosts your energy: Consuming a breakfast high in fiber and low in carbohydrates will make you feel less tired during the day. When your breakfast consists of items like whole-grain breads and cereals which should provide at least four grams of fiber per serving you're fueling your body for the entire morning. If you are a high caffeine user, consider getting a protein into your body at breakfast, so that your caffeine has something to bind with for maximum energy.

 

Helps Burn Calories:  Whether you're on a strict diet or not, breakfast is a great way to help burn those unwanted calories. By eating smaller meals throughout the day, you're increasing your body's metabolism. In fact, research shows that those who frequently ate breakfast cereal both refined grain or the whole-grain types consistently weighed less than those who rarely or never ate breakfast cereal.

 

Good for diabetes and heart ailments and also for overall health:  According to a recent study skipping breakfast may increase a woman's diabetes risk. Women who ate breakfast an average of zero to six times per week were at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than women who ate breakfast every day. Also eating breakfast was associated with a lower incidence of heart disease in people between ages 45 and 82.

Small Changes In Bedtime Habits Could Help You Lose Weight

 

 

Small Changes In Bedtime Habits Could Help You Lose Weight

 

 

A lot of people will be of the opinion that a late-night meal can lead to overeating and lead to you putting on more weight than normal. The opinion is that when people eat later at night, they tend to consume more calories. Late-night eating is associated with obesity because if you’re waiting to eat until very late, you may wind up overeating. It may be that you’re a late-night snacker and your snack choices and quantities get out of control, or you eat a really late dinner and wind up splurging on a super filled desserts. Yet remember, it’s the food that is making you fat in this case, not the fact that you’re eating before bed.

If you must eat later at night, plan your meals out ahead of time and don’t eat more than you intended. Also there are some foods which help in the process of weight loss when taken before bedtime. So here are some of those super foods which not only help you kill your hunger pangs but are also the perfect weight loss aiding food too.

Diary Products: Did you know that a glass of milk, or a small cup of curd, or buttermilk or even a protein smoothie before bed can do more than fight the pre-bedtime hunger pangs. They also help you build more muscle while you sleep. The tryptophan in protein-rich foods like milk are beneficial for sleep. According to research which was recently published a slow-to-digest form of protein that keeps exercisers’ muscles fueled with amino acids, so they can build lean mass all night long. Also you could take cottage cheese, as it is very slow digesting and coats the stomach to be assimilated by the body over many hours. As a protein, it also stimulates glucagon release; a solid pre-bedtime choice.

Just make sure you’re using plain cottage cheese, not the flavored varieties with added sugars. Milk is best consumed with carbohydrates because it makes the amino acid more readily available to your brain for absorption. You can also drink it with other foods that contain tryptophan to increase your chances of falling asleep faster. It would be much better if you had warm milk because it relaxes the senses. Examples of the best bedtime snacks you can pair with milk are banana

Green Vegetables: While these aren’t considered a protein, they contain virtually no calories, are high in fiber, and they’re very filling. Often times when you get a late night craving, eat a big bowl of green veggies and it will completely kill your cravings. Its a perfect diet saviour.

Oatmeal: Although oatmeal is admittedly a much better alternative to breakfast cereals. Apart from being low on fat, oatmeal is also packed with protein. If you’re feeling extra hungry, a bowl of oatmeal can fill you up without being hard on your digestion. You are also less likely to go hungry throughout the night if you consume oatmeal instead of ready-made oat-based breakfast cereals. In a recent study, researchers found that participants who ate oatmeal felt more satiated than those fed with breakfast cereals. Both groups received the same amount of calories.

Tea: There are lots of delicious and natural teas you can enjoy before bedtime. They’ll help you burn more fat, provide vitamins your body needs, and all the while help you relax. A cup of tea barely has any calories in it that you can drink more than one serving before sleeping. It won’t be as tasty as a bowl of cereal or a lean turkey sandwich but it provides more weight loss benefits than other bedtime snacks. Depending on the type of tea of you consume, you can enjoy fewer calories and different ways of losing weight. Green tea and oolong tea are recommended to shed off excess pounds. Both have been credited to encourage weight loss in several studies.

And the most important of all get a good night's sleep to boost the chances of you losing weight. During the night your lymphatic system performs the important task of detoxifying your body. If it didn’t do this, you’d retain harmful elements that cause inflammation and prevent you from losing weight the healthy way.

To get better sleep, it’s always best to sleep in cooler temperatures. When those limits are exceeded, you don’t sleep as well. And remember to stop using any electronic devices like your laptop or cell phone at least two hours before going to bed. That helps relax your brain waves. Choose a good book instead, and wrap up in blankets to keep warm.

ప్రీక్లాంప్సియా.. గర్భవతులకు అతిపెద్ద గండం ఇంతకూ ఈ సమస్య ఏంటంటే?

ప్రీక్లాంప్సియా.. గర్భవతులకు అతిపెద్ద గండం ఇంతకూ ఈ సమస్య ఏంటంటే?

గర్భం  ప్రతి స్త్రీకి చాలా ప్రత్యేకమైన దశ. ఇదెంత ప్రత్యేకమో.. అంతే సవాలుగా ఉంటుంది కూడా. సాధారణ సమయాలలో కంటే గర్భవతులుగా ఉన్న సమయాల్లో స్త్రీలు ఆరోగ్యంపై ప్రత్యేక శ్రద్ధ వహించాలి. ఎందుకంటే గర్భవతుల ఆరోగ్యం పుట్టబోయే బిడ్డను కూడా ప్రభావితం చేస్తుంది. మహిళలు తినడం, త్రాగడం, యోగా, వ్యాయామం  తప్పకుండా చేయాలి. 

చాలా మంది మహిళలు గర్భధారణ సమయంలో మధుమేహానికి గురవుతారు, దీనిని గర్భధారణ మధుమేహం అంటారు. అదేవిధంగా, కొన్ని పరిస్థితులు అధిక రక్తపోటు ప్రమాదాన్ని కూడా పెంచుతాయి, దీనిని వైద్య భాషలో ప్రీక్లాంప్సియా అంటారు. ఈ సమస్య గురించి తెలుసుకుంటే.. 

ప్రీక్లాంప్సియా అంటే..

ప్రీక్లాంప్సియా అనేది గర్భం వచ్చిన 20వ వారం తర్వాత లేదా డెలివరీ తర్వాత ఎదురయ్యే  పరిస్థితి, దీనిని ప్రసవానంతర ప్రీక్లాంప్సియా అని కూడా పిలుస్తారు. అధిక రక్తపోటుతో పాటు, మూత్రంలో ప్రోటీన్ అధిక స్థాయిలు ఉండవచ్చు, ఇది మూత్రపిండాల నష్టం (ప్రోటీనురియా) , శరీరంలో అవయవ నష్టానికి దారితీస్తుంది.

ప్రీక్లాంప్సియా ఎక్లాంప్సియా ప్రమాదాన్ని కూడా కలిగి ఉంటుంది, ఇది తల్లి, బిడ్డ ఇద్దరికీ సమస్యలను కలిగించే ప్రమాదకర పరిస్థితి, అరుదైన సందర్భాల్లో మరణానికి కూడా దారితీస్తుంది.  ఈ సమస్య గురించి తెలుసుకోవడం, చికిత్స పొందడం ద్వారా తల్లి,  బిడ్డ ఇద్దరినీ జాగ్రత్తగా చూసుకోవచ్చు.

లక్షణాలను ఎలా గుర్తించాలి?

ప్రీఎక్లాంప్సియా ప్రాథమికంగా అధిక రక్తపోటు, ప్రోటీన్యూరియా లేదా మూత్రపిండాలు, ఇతర అవయవాలకు హాని కలిగించవచ్చు. గర్భధారణ పరీక్షల సమయంలో ప్రీక్లాంప్సియా లక్షణాలు తరచుగా స్పష్టంగా కనిపిస్తాయి, అయితే కొన్ని సాధారణ సమస్యల ఆధారంగా కూడా సమస్యను గుర్తించవచ్చు. 

మూత్రంలో అధిక ప్రోటీన్ లేదా మూత్రపిండాల సమస్యల ఇతర సంకేతాలు.

రక్తంలో ప్లేట్‌లెట్ స్థాయిలు తగ్గడం (థ్రోంబోసైటోపెనియా).

కాలేయ సమస్యలను సూచించే కాలేయ ఎంజైమ్‌ల పెరుగుదల.

తీవ్రమైన తలనొప్పి - దృష్టిలో మార్పులు, అస్పష్టమైన దృష్టి లేదా వెలుగు భరించలేకపోవడం.

ఊపిరితిత్తులలో ద్రవం కారణంగా శ్వాస ఆడకపోవడం.

పొట్ట పైభాగంలో నొప్పి, సాధారణంగా కుడి వైపున ఉన్న పక్కటెముకల క్రింద.

ఈ సమస్య ఎందుకు వస్తుంది?

ప్రీక్లాంప్సియా అనేక కారణాల వల్ల వస్తుంది. గర్భధారణ సమయంలో పిండాన్ని పోషించే అవయవమైన ప్లాసెంటాలో ఇది ప్రారంభమవుతుంది. గర్భధారణ ప్రారంభంలో, కొత్త రక్త నాళాలు అభివృద్ధి చెందుతాయి. మావికి ఆక్సిజన్, పోషకాలను సరఫరా చేయడంలో సహాయపడతాయి.  ప్రీక్లాంప్సియా ఉన్న స్త్రీలలో, ఈ రక్త నాళాలు అభివృద్ధి చెందవు లేదా సరిగా పనిచేయవు. గర్భిణీ స్త్రీ రక్తపోటులో అసమానతలు మావి ద్వారా రక్త ప్రసరణను తగ్గించడం లేదా ప్రభావితం చేస్తాయి. ఇది శిశువు ఆరోగ్యానికి మంచిది కాదు.

దీర్ఘకాలిక అధిక రక్తపోటు, గర్భధారణకు ముందు మధుమేహంతో సమస్యలు, మూత్రపిండాల వ్యాధి లేదా స్వయం ప్రతిరక్షక రుగ్మతలు ఈ సమస్యలను కలిగిస్తాయి.

శిశువు ఆరోగ్యంపై ప్రభావాలు, నివారణ పద్ధతులు

ప్రీక్లాంప్సియా మాయకు రక్తాన్ని తీసుకువెళ్లే ధమనులను ప్రభావితం చేస్తుంది కాబట్టి, పిండానికి తగినంత రక్తం లభించకపోతే, అది అభివృద్ధిని ప్రభావితం చేస్తుంది. అనేక వ్యాధుల ప్రమాదానికి గురవుతుంది. అకాల ప్రసవానికి కారణమవుతుంది. 

ఈ సమస్యను నివారించడానికి, మీరు గర్భిణీల జీవనశైలి, ఆహారాన్ని సరిగ్గా తీసుకోవడం చాలా ముఖ్యం. ఈ రెండు జాగ్రత్తలు తీసుకోవడం ద్వారా, చాలా వరకు ప్రమాదాలను తగ్గించవచ్చు.

మహిళల్లో మైగ్రేన్ సమస్యకు మూడు సింపుల్ ఆసనాలు.. మ్యాజిక్ చేస్తాయివి..

అసలు ఏ జబ్బు లేదు అనే మనుషులు ఈ కాలంలో లేరంటే అతిశయోక్తి కాదు. ముఖ్యంగా మహిళల్లో చాలామంది ఎదుర్కొంటున్న సమస్య మైగ్రేన్.  తలపై ఎవరో ఒకవైపు సుత్తితో మోదుతున్నట్టు, వికారంగానూ, అసహనాన్ని అనుభవిస్తున్న మహిళల శాతం ఎక్కువగానే ఉంది.  మైగ్రేన్ ఉన్నవారు లైటింగ్ చూసినా, శబ్దాలు విన్నా నరకం అనుభవించినట్టే ఉంటుంది. అయితే మూడు మోగాసనాలు వేయడం ద్వారా మైగ్రేన్ తలనొప్పి ఉపశమనం పొందవచ్చు.

అసలు మైగ్రేన్ సమస్య ఎందుకు వస్తుంది? దీన్ని ఎలా నయం చేయాలి?

మైగ్రేన్ అనేది నాడీ సంబంధిత రుగ్మత, ఇది తీవ్రమైన తలనొప్పి . దీని వల్ల కొన్నిసార్లు వికారం, వాంతులు ఉంటాయి. కానీ  ప్రతిరోజూ యోగా సాధన చేయడం ద్వారా దీనిని నయం చేయవచ్చు. యోగా వల్ల  శరీరంలో రక్త ప్రసరణను వేగవంతం అవుతుంది.  కండరాలను రిలాక్స్ చేస్తుంది. ఈ  కారణంగా మైగ్రేన్ లక్షణాలు మెల్లిగా తగ్గడం ప్రారంభిస్తాయి.

అధోముఖ స్వానాసనం..

ఈ ఆసనం వేయడానికి మొదట బోర్లా పడుకోవాలి.
 చేతులను భుజాల క్రింద ఉంచాలి.
ఇప్పుడు  చేతులను కొద్దిగా ముందుకు తీసుకెళ్లండి.
తర్వాత కాలి వేళ్లపై బరువు తీసుకొచ్చి, శ్వాస వదులుతూ తుంటిని పైకి లేపాలి.
మోకాళ్లను నిటారుగా ఉంచి తలను చేతుల మధ్య ఉంచాలి.
ఇప్పుడు నడుము నిటారుగా ఉంచి, నెమ్మదిగా  చీలమండలతో నేలను తాకాలి.

మార్జాలాసనం..

ఈ యోగా ఆసనం చేయడానికి ,  మోకాళ్ల మీద కూర్చోవాలి.
మీ చేతులను  ముందుకు చాచి వెన్నెముకను సమాంతరంగా ఉంచాలి.  శ్వాసను వదులుతున్నప్పుడు ఛాతీని, కడుపును లోపలికి తీసుకుంటూ వెన్నెముకను వంచాలి.
ఆ తరువాత మళ్ళీ సాధారణ శ్వాస తీసుకుంటూ నార్మల్ పొజీషన్ కు రావాలి.
ఇది సాధారణమైన తర్వాత మళ్లీ అదే విధానాన్ని రిపీట్  చేయాలి.

పద్మాసనం..

పద్మాసనం చిన్నప్పటి నుండి అందరికీ అనుభవంలో ఉన్నదే. అయితే మారుతున్న జీవనశైలి కారణంగా ఉద్యోగాల నుండి భోజనం చేయడం వరకు అన్ని పనులు  కుర్చీలలో కూర్చుని చేసుకుంటున్నాం. కానీ పద్మాసనం ఇప్పుడు మైగ్రేన్ సు చక్కని మందుగా మారింది.

కాళ్ళను మడిచి అటూ ఇటూ చేసుకుని కూర్చోవాలి.
ఇప్పుడు కుడిపాదాన్ని  బయటికి తీసి ఎడమ తొడ మీద ఉంచాలి. తరువాత ఎడమ పాదాన్ని బయటకు తీసి కుడి తొడ మీద ఉంచాలి.
ఈ స్థితిలో కొద్దిసేపు సాధారణంగా శ్వాస తీసుకోండి.
ఈ  పొజిషన్ ను కాళ్లు అటూ ఇటూ మార్చి మళ్లీ వేరుగా చేయాలి.

ఈ మూడు ఆసనాలు రోజూ వేస్తుంటే మహిళల్లో మైగ్రేన్ సమస్య చాలా వరకు కంట్రోల్ అవుతుంది.

ఆడవారు ఈ నాలుగు పాటిస్తే.. అద్భుతమైన ఆరోగ్యం సొంతమవుతుంది!

ఆడవారు ఈ నాలుగు పాటిస్తే.. అద్భుతమైన ఆరోగ్యం సొంతమవుతుంది!

ఆడవారి ఆరోగ్యం ప్రతి ఇంటికి పెద్ద బలం. ఆడవారు తమ ఆరోగ్యాన్ని చక్కగా ఉంచుకుంటే ఇళ్లలో ఎన్నో పనులు ఎలాంటి ఆటంకం లేకుండా సాగుతాయి. రోజువారీ జీవితంలో ఆడవారు ఫాలో అయ్యే కొన్ని విషయాలు మహిళల ఆరోగ్యాన్ని పాడు చేస్తే.. మరికొన్ని విషయాలు శారీరకంగా, మానసికంగా ఆడవారిని బలంగా మారుస్తాయి. ఆడవారు శారీరకంగా, మానసికంగా బలంగా ఉండాలి అంటే నాలుగు విషయాలు గుర్తుపెట్టుకొని, వాటిలో రోజూ పాటించాలి. కేవలం ఈ నాలుగు విషయాలు మొత్తం జీవన గతిని మార్చేసి అద్భుతమైన ప్రయాణానికి దోహదం చేస్తాయి. 

ఆహారం ఫుల్లుగా తినొద్దు..

ఆడవారు ఎక్కువ పని చేస్తారు కానీ బాగా తినాలి అని అందరూ చెప్పేమాట. అయితే ఆహారం ఫుల్ గా తినడం వల్ల ఆడవారిలో ఊబకాయం, మధుమేహం తొందరగా వస్తాయి. అందుకే కేలరీల పరంగా తక్కువ కేలరీలు గల ఆహారాన్ని తీసుకోవాలి.  దీనివల్ల హృదయనాళాల ఆరోగ్యం బాగుంటుంది. శరీరంలో కొలెస్ట్రాల్ శాతం తక్కువగానే ఉంటుంది. 

వాకింగ్ పెంచాలి..

నడక అనేది తక్కువ ప్రభావ వ్యాయామం. దీని ఫలితాలు మాత్రం చాలా అగొప్పగా ఉంటాయి.  ఏ వ్యాయామం లేకపోయినా రోజూ వాకింగ్ చేసేవారి ఫిజికల్ స్ట్రేంగ్త్ చాలా బాగుంటుంది. ఇది మొత్తం ఆరోగ్యానికి ప్రయోజనకరంగా ఉంటుంది. గుండె ఆరోగ్యాన్ని మెరుగుపరచడానికి, కండరాలను బలోపేతం చేయడానికి, కేలరీలను బర్న్ చేయడానికి ఇది ఒక అద్భుతమైన మార్గం. సాధారణ నడక మానసిక ఆరోగ్యాన్ని మెరుగుపరుస్తుంది, ఒత్తిడి స్థాయిలను తగ్గిస్తుంది, అభిజ్ఞా పనితీరును పెంచుతుంది.

నవ్వు నాలుగు విధాల చేటు అనే మాట ఎప్పుడో తీరిపోయింది. అనేక ఆరోగ్య ప్రయోజనాలు ఉన్నందున నవ్వును తరచుగా ఉత్తమ ఔషధంగా సూచిస్తారు. ఇది ఒత్తిడి స్థాయిలను తగ్గించడానికి, మానసిక స్థితిని పెంచడానికి, మొత్తం మానసిక ఆరోగ్యాన్ని మెరుగుపరచడానికి సహాయపడుతుంది. అదనంగా, నవ్వు రోగనిరోధక వ్యవస్థను మెరుగుపరుస్తుంది, ఇది అనారోగ్యాన్ని నివారించడానికి సహాయపడుతుంది. నవ్వుతూ ఉంటే మానసిక ఒత్తిడులు క్రమంగా తగ్గిపోతాయి. కాబట్టి నవ్వు గొప్ప ఔషధం.

అందరినీ ప్రేమించాలి..

ప్రేమించడం అనే మాటకు ఎప్పుడూ ఒకే అర్థం తీయకూడదు. సాటి మనుషులుగా అందరినీ అందరూ ప్రేమించవచ్చు. ఆ ప్రేమలో జాలి, కరుణ, బాధ్యత, ఒకానొక సమత్వ భావన తొంగిచూస్తాయి. సాధారణ పనులలో నిమగ్నమైన వ్యక్తులలో ఒత్తిడి స్థాయిలను తగ్గించడం, మానసిక ఆరోగ్యం మెరుగుపరచడం, అభిజ్ఞా పనితీరును మెరుగుపరచడం ఇలాంటి ప్రేమ వల్లనే సాధ్యమవుతుంది. ఇతరులలో ఒంటరితనం పోగొట్టి జీవితం మీద ఆశను కల్పించడంలో ఈ ప్రేమ  పాత్ర చాలా గొప్పది. కాబట్టి ఎదుటి వారితో ఆనందంగా, సంతృప్తిగా, సంతోషంగా మాట్లాడుతూ వారిని గౌరవించాలి.

ఈ నాలుగు పనులు చేస్తే ఆడవారి ఆరోగ్యం పదికాలలపాటు పధిలంగా ఉంటుంది.

జాగింగ్ చేసేద్దాం ఇలా...

జాగింగ్ చేసేద్దాం ఇలా...

మహిళలు తమ శారీరక ఆరోగ్య స్పృహ పెరిగినప్పుడు చాలామంది ఎంచుకునే వ్యాయామం ఏదైనా ఉందంటే అది వాకింగ్. అన్ని వయసుల వారు దీన్ని తమ లైఫ్ స్టయిల్ లో భాగం చేసుకోవచ్చు. అయితే ఈ నడిస్కను కాస్త వేగంగా చేస్తే దాన్నే జాగింగ్ అని అంటారు. నడక కంటే కాస్త ఎక్కువ ఫలితాలను ఇచ్చే ఈ జాగింగ్ పెద్ద వయసు వారు తప్ప టీనేజ్ నుండి మధ్యవయసు వారి వరకు ఎవరయిన చేయొచ్చు. అయితే ఇలాంటి ఆరోగ్య  సమస్య కాళ్ళ నొప్పులు వంటివి లేకపోతే 50 ఏళ్ళు దాటినా వారు కూడా జాగింగ్ చేయవచ్చు. వాకింగ్ కు ఎలాంటి ప్రత్యేక జాగ్రత్తలు లేకపోయినా అది అలా సాగిపోతుంది. కానీ జాగింగ్ చేయడానికి కొన్ని చిట్కాలు పాటించాలి. దీనివల్ల జాగింగ్ చేసినప్పుడు ఎలాంటి ఇతర సైడ్ ఎఫెక్ట్స్ ఉండవు. జాగింగ్ చేయడానికి  కంఫర్ట్ కూడా అవసరం అవుతుంది. కాబట్టి వాటి గురించి కొన్ని ఉపయోగపడే ముఖ్యమైన విషయాలు ఇవిగో...

చాలామందికి జాగింగ్ చేసేటప్పుడు ఎలాంటి దుస్తులు వేసుకోవాలి అనేది అవగాహన ఉండదు. కొందరు మహిళలు చీరల్లో ప్రయత్నం చేస్తుంటారు. అయితే జాగింగ్ చేసేటప్పుడు చుడిదార్  గాని, లూజ్ ప్యాంట్ లేదా జాగింగ్ డ్రస్ ను ధరించాలి, దీనివల్ల కాళ్ళు తొందర తొందరగా కదపడానికి సౌకర్యవంతంగా ఉంటుంది. 

ఇకపోతే జాసింగ్ చేసే సమయం కూడా అన్ధస్రూ దృష్టిలో పెట్టుకోవాలి. ఏవో ఒక పనులున్నాయని, కుదరడం లేదని ఏ సమయం కంటే ఆ సమయంలో జాగింగ్ చేస్తుండటం కరెక్ట్ కాదు. మనం సమయానికి భోజనం చేయడం వల్ల ఎలాగైతే జీర్ణవ్యవస్థ ఆరోగ్యవంతంగా ఉంటుందో… సమయానికి కరెక్ట్ గా జాగింగ్ చేయడం వల్ల కూడా దానికి తగిన పలితాన్ని పొందగలుగుతాము. అయితే జాగింగ్ కోసం ఎంచుకునే వేళలు ఉదయం లేదా సాయంత్రం అయితే బాగుంటుంది. 

జాగింగ్ చేసేవారు ఎక్కువ మంది పాటించనిది ఏదైనా ఉందంటే అది కాళ్ళకు వేసుకునే షూ. చాలాశాతం మంది చెప్పులు వేసుకుంటారు.... అయితే జాగింగ్ కోసం తయారు చేయబడ్డ షూస్ వేసుకోవాలి. షూస్ లోకి  కాటన్ సాక్స్ వేసుకుంటే.... పాదాలకు ఇంకా మంచిది.

జాగింగ్ చేయడం ఆరోగ్యానికి ఫిట్ నెస్ కు మంచిదనే అభిప్రాయంతో మొదలుపెట్టినప్పుడు చాలా ఎక్కువగా చేయకూడదు. జాగింగ్ ను ఇంత దూరం, ఇన్ని నిమిషాల సమయం అనే ప్లానింగ్ తో మొదలు పెట్టాలి. ఆ టీసురువత మెల్లగా దాన్ని పెంచుకుంటూ పోవాలి. ఇలా చేయడం వల్ల దూరం పెరిగినా శరీరానికి అలసట తెలియకుండా ఉంటుంది. 

టీనేజ్ అమ్మాయిలు, యువతులు వాకింగ్ కంటే జాకింగ్ కె ఎక్కువ ప్రాధాన్యత ఇస్తారుమ్ వారి వయసుకు తగినట్టు జాగింగ్ ను ఎంజాయ్ చేయగలుగుతారు కూడా. అయితే సరైన బ్రా, టీ షర్ట్, షూస్ ఎంపిక చేసుకుని జాగింగ్ చేయడం ఎంతో ముఖ్యం.  

 జాగింగ్ సాద్స్రణంగా ఉదయం చేస్తుందం మంచిది. అది కూడా ఉదయాన్నే లేవగానే కాస్త  ఫ్రెష్ అయ్యి వాకింగ్, జాగింగ్, యోగ వంటివి చెయ్యాలి. అంతేకానీ ఉదేశ్యం ఆలస్యంగా లేచి టిఫిన్లు గట్రా తిని ఆ తరువాత నింపాదిగా జాగింగ్ చేయకూడదు. అలాగే సాయంత్రం కూడా కాఫీలు, టీలు, స్నాక్స్ అంటూ అన్ని తిని జాగింగ్ చేయకూడదు. 

 మధ్య వయసు వారిలో కొంతమందిలో కనిపించే బిపి ఉన్నా, హార్ట్ సంబంధించిన అనారోగ్యాలు ఉన్నా డాక్టర్ ను సంప్రదించిన తరువాత వారి సూచనల ప్రకారము మాత్రమే జాగింగ్ చేయాలి.

ఇలా కొన్ని జాగింగ్ టిప్స్ పాటిస్తే ఆరోగ్యంగా ఆరోగ్యమైన అలవాటును హాయిగా కొనసాగించవచ్చు.

ఒత్తిడి కారణంగా హైపోథైరాయిడిజం సమస్య వస్తుంది. థైరాయిడ్ స్థాయిలు పెరగడం అనేక ఆరోగ్య సమస్యలకు దారి తీస్తుంది. థైరాయిడ్ అనేది మెడలో ఉన్న ఒక చిన్న గ్రంధి, ఇది అనేక ముఖ్యమైన హార్మోన్లను స్రవిస్తుంది. ఈ హార్మోన్లు జీవక్రియ, శరీర ఉష్ణోగ్రత మరియు పెరుగుదలకు అవసరం. థైరాయిడ్ స్థాయి పెరగడం లేదా తగ్గడమనే రెండు సందర్భాలు  శరీరానికి హాని కలిగించవచేవే.. యోగా ఆసనాల ద్వారా థైరాయిడ్ గ్రంధి సమతుల్యతగా ఉండేలా చేసుకోవచ్చు. థైరాయిడ్ గ్రంధి వల్ల హార్మోన్లలో కలిగే మార్పులు మహిళలలో చాలా సమస్యలు తెచ్చిపెడతాయి. కింద చెప్పుకునే యోగా అసనాలు వేయడం ద్వారా ఈ సమస్యను అధిగమించవచ్చు.

సేతుబంధాసనం

సేతువు ఆకారంలో భంగిమ ఉండటం వల్ల ఈ ఆసనాన్ని సేతుబంధాసనం అని  అంటారు. వెన్నెముకను బలోపేతం చేయడానికి ఈ యోగాసనం ఉపయోగపడుతుంది. సేతుబంధాసన సాధన ద్వారా థైరాయిడ్ లక్షణాలను తగ్గించవచ్చు. ఈ ఆసనం చేయడానికి వెల్లికిలా పడుకోవాలి.  మోకాళ్లను మీ భుజాల వెడల్పు నుండి కొంచెం దూరంగా వంచాలి. ఇప్పుడు, అరచేతులను తెరచి, చేతులను నేలపై నిటారుగా ఉంచి, శ్వాస తీసుకుంటూ, నడుమును పైకి ఎత్తాలి. ఊపిరి పీల్చుకుంటూ, తిరిగి పాత స్థితికి రావాలి.

భుజంగాసనం..
 
థైరాయిడ్ సమస్య నుండి ఉపశమనం పొందడానికి, భుజంగాసనం ప్రాక్టీస్ చేయవచ్చు. ఈ భంగిమ గొంతు మరియు థైరాయిడ్‌ను ఉత్తేజపరచడంలో సహాయకరంగా పరిగణించబడుతుంది. సంస్కృతంలో భుజంగం అంటే పాము అని అర్థం.  భుజంగాసనంను కోబ్రా భంగిమ అని కూడా అంటారు. ఈ ఆసనం వేయడానికి నేలపై పడుకోవాలి. అరచేతులను భుజం-వెడల్పు వేరుగా నేలపై ఉంచండి. ఇప్పుడు పీల్చేటప్పుడు ఛాతీని నేలపై నుండి పైకెత్తి సీలింగ్ వైపు చూడండి. ఇప్పుడు శరీరాన్ని నేలపైకి తీసుకురండి. ఈ యోగాను పునరావృతం చేయండి.

బిటిలాసనం.. 

థైరాయిడ్ సమస్యలతో బాధపడేవారు బిటిలాసనం వేయాలి. దీన్నే పిల్లి-ఆవు భంగిమ అని అంటారు. తులో రక్త ప్రసరణను కొనసాగించడంలో ఇది ప్రయోజనకరంగా ఉంటుంది. ఈ ఆసనం వేయడానికి, ముందుగా మణికట్టు మరియు మోకాళ్ల సహాయంతో జంతువు లాంటి భంగిమను వేయండి. లోతైన శ్వాస తీసుకోవాలి. ఆ తరువాత శ్వాసను మెల్లిగా వదలాలి. ఈ యోగాను ప్రతిరోజూ 10 నిమిషాల పాటు చేయాలి.

పశ్చిమోత్తాసనం..

తల మోకాళ్ళ వైపు, చేతులు పాదాల వైపు పోనిచ్చి వాటిని ఆనించడానికి  ప్రయత్నిచాలి. అయితే ఈ యోగాసనం వేసే ప్రారంభంలో తల మోకాళ్ళకు తగలకపోవచ్చు, చేతులు పాదాలకు అందకపోవచ్చు..  రోజు సాదన చేస్తే అది సాధ్యమవుతుంది. తిరిగి పడుకుని మళ్ళి మళ్ళి లేస్తూ ఈ ఆసనం చేయాలి. ఇలా కనీసం 5 నుంచి 20 సార్లు చేయాలి.

మంచం దిగకుండానే కొవ్వు దులిపేద్దాం!

మంచం దిగకుండానే కొవ్వు దులిపేద్దాం!

ఒంట్లో సులువుగా చేరిపోయే రాక్షసి కొవ్వు. ఏమి తింటున్నాం అనేది కాస్త ఆలోచించుకోవడం మానేసి తినడంలో రెచ్చిపోతే శరీరంలో వివిధ భాగాల్లో పేరుకుపోయి శరీర షేప్ మార్చేసి మనల్ని ఒకానొక అభద్రతా భావంలోకి నెట్టేస్తుంది. అయితే ఆ కొవ్వు తగ్గించుకోవాలి అంటే వ్యాయాయం లేదా ఆసనాలు చాలా ముఖ్యం. కానీ ఇప్పుడు వణికిస్తున్న చలికి ఉదయం లేవబుద్ది  కాదు, సాయంత్రం అడుగు బయటపెట్టబుద్ది కాదు. అలా వెచ్చగా దుప్పటి కప్పుకుని పడుకుంటే బాగుంటుందని అనిపిస్తుంది. చలికి మన తీరు ఇలాగుంటే ఇక వ్యాయామాలు, యోగాసనాలు ఏమి వేస్తాం?? మనలో చేరిపోయిన కొవ్వును ఎలా మాయం చేస్తాం?? అందుకే కాస్త విభిన్నంగా ఆలోచించాలి. 

విభిన్నత ఎలా??

శరీరాన్ని దృఢంగా ఉంచుకోవాలంటే వ్యాయామం అవసరమే కదా?? అలాంటి వ్యాయామాన్ని ఉదయం లేవగానే అలాగే మంచం దిగకుండా హాయిగా చేసేస్తే ఎలా ఉంటుంది. ఇదే విభిన్నంగా చెప్పుకుంటున్న విషయం. లేచిన వెంటనే వ్యాయామం కోసం ప్రత్యేకంగా అన్ని సిద్ధం చేసుకుని రంగంలోకి దిగడానికి ఓపికతో పాటు చలి తెచ్చిపెట్టే బద్దకం చాలా ఉంటుంది. అందుకే లేవగానే అలా మంచం మీదనే శరీరంతో విన్యాసాలు చేసేయండి.

టిప్ 1:- 

ఇప్పుడు చెప్పుకోబోయే ప్రయోగం కాస్త ధనురాసనంను పోలి ఉంటుంది. కాకపోతే కాళ్ళను చేతులతో బంధించాల్సిన అవసరం ఉండదు.  లేచిన వెంటనే అలాగే మంచం మీదనే బోర్లా పడుకోవాలి. ఇలా పడుకున్న తరువాత కడుపును ఆధారంగా చేసి కాళ్ళను, చేతులను ఒకేసారి మెల్లగా పైకి లేపాలి. ఇలా పైకి లేపిన తరువాత కొన్ని సెకెన్ల పాటు అలాగే ఉండాలి. తిరిగి మాములు స్థితిలోకి రావాలి. ఇలా సెట్ లో ఇరవై సార్లు చేయాలి. ఇలాంటివి అయిదు సెట్లు చేయాలి. దీన్ని చేయడం వల్ల వెన్నెముక భుజాలు బలపడతాయి. నడుము దృఢంగా మారుతుంది. పొట్ట భాగంలో ఉన్న కొవ్వు కరిగిపోతుంది. 

టిప్:-2

ఈ రెండవ విధానంలో మంచం మీద చివరలో కూర్చోవాలి. కాళ్ళు నేలకు ఆనుతూ ఉంటాయి. బలాన్ని కాళ్ళ మీద, చేతుల మీద ప్రయోగించి చేతులను మంచం మీద గట్టిగా పట్టుకుని మెల్లగా మంచం మీద నుండి కిందకు దిగాలి. కాళ్ళను ఒంచకూడదు. మంచానికి చేతులు వెనుకగా అలాగే ఆనించి మెల్లిగా కూర్చోవడం లేవడం చేయాలి. దీనివల్ల కాళ్ళు దృఢంగా మారతాయి, చేతులలో బలం పుంజుకుంటుంది. తొడల కండరాలు గట్టి పడతాయి. 

టిప్:- 3

పుషప్స్ తీసే బంగిమను ప్లాంక్ అని అంటారు. మంచం మీద బోర్లా పడుకుని కాలి మునివేళ్ళ మీద, మోచేతులు ఆధారంగా శరీరాన్ని పైకి లేపాలి. ఆ పొజిషన్ లో కనీసం 40 నుండి 45 సెకెన్ల పాటు ఉండాలి. ఆ తరువాత కొన్ని సెకెన్లు విశ్రాంతి తీసుకోవాలి. మళ్ళీ తిరిగి ప్లాంక్ చేయాలి. ఇలా నాలుగు నుండి ఐదు సార్లతో మొదలుపెట్టి వాటి సంఖ్య పెంచుకుంటూ పోవాలి. దీనివల్ల శరీరం మొత్తం దృఢంగా మారుతుంది. ముఖ్యంగా భుజాలు, మెడ దృఢమవుతాయి. పక్కటెముకల సామర్థ్యం పెరుగుతుంది. పొట్ట దగ్గర పేరుకున్న కొవ్వు ఐస్ లాగా కరుగుతుంది. కీళ్ల నొప్పులు క్రమంగా తగ్గిపోతాయి. బట్టి మెటబాలిజం మెరుగవుతుంది.

పైన చెప్పుకున్నట్టు ముచ్చటగా మూడు ప్రయోగాలు చేశారంటే బద్దకాన్ని కూడా కాదని శరీరంలో కొవ్వు ఫటాఫట్ అంటూ పారిపోతుంది.

శరీరం ఏమి చెబుతుందో వింటున్నారా?

శరీరం ఏమి చెబుతుందో వింటున్నారా?

గమనించాలే కానీ మన చుట్టూ ఉండే ప్రతిదీ ఏదో ఒకటి వ్యక్తం చేస్తూనే ఉంటాయి. నేటి గజిబిజి జీవితంలో మనం ఏవీ పరిశీలనగా చూడం. మన చుట్టూ ఉండే చెట్టు, పుట్టా, వస్తువులు, ప్రాణం ఉన్నవి, ప్రాణం లేనివి.. ఇలా అన్ని ఏదో ఒకటి చెబుతున్నట్టే అనిపిస్తాయి. మరి అన్నీ ఎన్నో చెబుతున్నట్టు అనిపించినప్పుడు మన శరీరం మనతో ఏమీ చెప్పకుండా ఉంటుందా??

శరీరం మాట్లాడుతుందా ఏంటి?? అని ప్రశ్న వేస్తారు చాలామంది. అయితే శరీరానికి కూడా భాష ఉంటుంది, శరీరానికి బాధ ఉన్నట్టే.. ఆ భాష కూడా కొన్ని నిర్ధిష్ట వ్యక్తీకరణలు కలిగి ఉంటుంది. శరీర భాషను అర్థం చేసుకున్నవారు శరీరాన్ని చక్కగా మార్చుకోగలరు. ముఖ్యంగా మహిళల్లో దశల వారిగా శారీరకంగా మార్పులు చోటు చేసుకుంటాయి. మరీ ముఖ్యంగా పెళ్లి, తల్లి కావడం అనేవి శారీరకంగా ఊహించని మార్పులకు కారణం అవుతాయి. ఇలా శారీరకంగా జరుగుతున్న మార్పులతో సమన్వయం అయితే వాటితో కలసి తమను తాము మార్చుకుంటే… కనీసం మార్చుకోవడానికి ప్రయత్నం చేస్తే..  నీరు ఏ పాత్రలో పోస్తే ఆ రూపాన్ని సంతరించుకున్నట్టు, శరీరం కూడా ఎన్ని దశలు దాటినా వాటికి తగ్గట్టు తాను మారుతూ శరీరాన్ని మాత్రం దృఢంగా.. అందంగా ఉంటుంది.

మార్పు.. చేర్పు..

ఒక మార్పుకు సన్నద్ధం అవడం అంటే చేర్పుకు సిద్ధమవడమే.. ఉదాహరణకు పెళ్ళైన అమ్మాయిలు గర్భవతులయ్యి బిడ్డను మోయడం మొదలుపెట్టాక దానికి తగ్గట్టు ఆహారం నుండి ఎన్నో విషయాలలో మారతారు. కొన్ని ఇష్టాలు దూరం పెడతారు, మరికొన్ని ఇష్టం లేకపోయినా అలవాటు చేసుకుని ఇష్టంగా మార్చుకుంటారు. అయితే అదంతా కడుపులో బిడ్డ మీద ఉన్న ప్రేమతో చేస్తారు. అదే సాధారణంగా డెలివరీ తరువాత లావైతే… ఆ లావు తగ్గకపోతే… చాలా మంది చెప్పేమాట ఏముంది పెళ్ళై బిడ్డ కూడా అయింది. ఈ మాత్రం ఉండరా ఏంటి?? అందరూ ఇలా కామెంట్ చేసేవాళ్లే కానీ ప్రెగ్నెన్సీ, డెలివరీ వల్లే ఇలా అయ్యాను అని ఎవరూ అర్థం చేసుకోరు.. వంటి మాటలు చెబుతారు.

అయితే ఒకరు ఏదో అనుకోవడం, ఆ ఇంకొకరికి సంజాయిషీ చెప్పడం ఇవన్నీ కాదు ముఖ్యం. మన శరీరాన్ని మనం ఎంత ఫిట్ గా ఉంచుకుంటే మన ఆరోగ్యం అంత బాగుంటుంది. అందుకే చక్కని ఆహారం, తక్కువ ఆహారంతో ఎక్కువ శక్తి అందేలా తీసుకోవాలి. తక్కువ మొత్తాన్ని ఎక్కువ సార్లు తీసుకోవాలి. ఉదయం నిద్ర లేవడం, కాసింత యోగా, ధ్యానం, మనసును ఆహ్లాదపరిచే పనులు చేయడం ఇవన్నీ చేస్తుంటే మనసు ఉల్లాసంగా మారి సహజంగానే శరీరం కాస్త తేలికపడిన భావన అనిపిస్తుంది.

ప్రేమించడం..

ప్రేమ చాలా గొప్పది. అది అనిర్వచనీయమైన భావాన్ని వ్యక్తం చేసే గొప్ప మార్గం. అయితే ఎవరో బయటి వాళ్ళను, వస్తువులను, సినిమా తారలను ఇలా వీళ్లను కాకుండా మన శరీరాన్ని మనం ప్రేమించుకోవాలి. మన శరీరంలో ఎంతో గొప్ప అవయవాలు ఉన్నాయి.

గుండెకు ఏదైనా సమస్య వస్తే అది ఎన్ని లక్షలు పెట్టినా దొరకడం కష్టం

కిడ్నీలు ఫెయిల్ అయితే జీవితానికి అనుక్షణం గండం

ఊపిరితిత్తులు చెడిపోతే ప్రాణం ఆనంతవాయువుల్లో కలిసిపోతాయి

కళ్ళకు  ఏమైనా అయితే ప్రపంచమే చీకటి

వినికిడి లేకపోతే ఎంతో గొప్పవైన శబ్దాలను వినలేక ఎప్పుడూ నిశ్శబ్దలోకంలో ఉండిపోతారు.

ఇలా ఒకటా రెండా… మన శరీరంలో ఎంతో అమూల్యమైన అవయవాలు ఉన్నాయి. మరి ఇంతకంటే గొప్ప వస్తువు ఎక్కడైనా ఉంటుందా?? చేతిలో పట్టుకునే బొడి 20వేల ఫోన్ గురించి ఆలోచించి స్క్రీన్ గార్డ్, బాక్ కవర్ అన్నీ వేయించి జాగ్రత్త పెట్టుకునే మనం శరీరాన్ని నిర్లక్ష్యం చేయకూడదు కదా.. అందుకే శరీరాన్ని ప్రేమించుకోవాలి. మనల్ని ఈ శరీరం ఎంతో కాలంపాటు మోస్తుంది. ఎప్పటికప్పుడు శరీర అనారోగ్యాన్ని నయం చేసుకోవాలి. దృఢంగా ఉంచుకోవడానికి ప్రయత్నించాలి.

పాజిటివ్ మైండ్..

పాజిటివ్ మైండ్ అనేది మనిషిని ఎలాంటి పరిస్థితులలో అయినా పర్ఫెక్ట్ గా, బ్యాలెన్స్ గా ఉండేలా చేస్తుంది. ఏది జరిగినా మన మంచికే అనే పెద్దలు చెప్పిన మాట నిజమే.. కొన్ని సంఘటనలు, సందర్భాలు మనకు తెలియకుండా జరుగుతూ.. చెప్పకుండా వస్తుంటాయి. అలాంటి వాటి విషయంలో పాజిటివ్ మైండ్ ఉండటం ఎంతో అవసరం. ఒక పెద్ద గీత పక్కన దాని కంటే పెద్ద గీత గీసి మీదట గీసిన గీతను చిన్నగా చేయచ్చు. అలాగే మనకున్న సమస్యను ఎప్పుడూ మనకంటే సమస్యలు ఎక్కువ ఉన్న వారితో కంపెర్ చేసుకుని మనకే నయం కదా అన్న తృప్తిని మనలోకి ఒంపుకోవాలి. 

మనిషి ఎప్పుడైతే ఏదైనా విషయానికి పాజిటివ్ గా ఉంటాడో అప్పుడు అతని చుట్టూ పాజిటివ్ ప్రపంచం మెల్లగా నిర్మాణమవడం మొదలు పెడుతుంది. ఆ పాజిటివ్ అనేది మనిషికి చెప్పలేనంత శక్తిని అందిస్తుంది. కాబట్టి పాజిటివ్ గా ఉండటం ఎంతో ముఖ్యం. మనం పాజిటివ్ గా ఉంటే మన శరీరం కూడా మనం చెప్పినట్టు వింటుంది. చెప్పినదానికి  స్పందిస్తుంది.

కాబట్టి మనిషి శరీరం ఏమి చెబుతుందో అర్థం చేసుకోవాలి. దానితో సంభాషించాలి, దాన్ని ప్రేమించాలి. అప్పుడు శరీరం కూడా మనకు తగ్గట్టు స్పందిస్తుంది.

గర్భవతులకు వ్యాయామం ఎందుకు అవసరం?

గర్భవతులకు వ్యాయామం ఎందుకు అవసరం?

గర్భవతులు చాలా సున్నితంగా ఉంటారు. అయితే గర్భవతులు దృఢంగా ఉండాట్సన్ ఎంతో అవసరమని వైద్యులు ఎప్పటికప్పుడు చెబుతూనే ఉంటారు. గర్భవతులు వ్యాయామం చేయడం వల్ల శరీరం దృఢంగా మారుతుందనేది గైనకాలజిస్ట్ లు చెప్పే మాట. అయితే గర్భవతులు, వ్యాయామం అనే మాట వినగానే గయ్యిమని అరిచే పెద్దవాళ్ళు కూడా ఉంటారు. కానీ వ్యాయామం అనేది గర్భవతులకు చాలా ముఖ్యం. 

ప్రసవానికి ముందు కాలములో  వ్యాయామము చేయడం వల్ల గర్భవతులలో భయాందోళనలు ఏమైనా ఉంటే అవన్నీ  తొలగిపోతాయి. తెలియని విషయానికి భయపడటం సాధారణంగా అందరి విషయంలో జరిగేదే.. దీనికి చిన్న పిల్లల నుండి గర్భవతులు, మహిళలు, వృద్ధులు, పురుషులు ఇలా ఎవరూ మినహాయింపు కాదు. అయితే గర్భవతులలో భయం కలిగినప్పుడు సాధారణంగానే ఆందోళన కలుగుతుంది. ఈ ఆందోళన కాస్తా.. తలనొప్పికి దారితీస్తుంది. అలాంటి సమయంలో ఎంత ప్రశాంతంగా ఉండాలని ప్రయత్నించినా ఉండలేరు. మనసులో ఏ మూలో ఎంతో కొంత భయం మనిషిని కుదురుగా ఉండనివ్వదు. అలాంటి సమయాల్లోనే లేని అనుమానాలు పుడుతూ ఉంటాయి. అగ్నికి ఆజ్యం పోసినట్టు ఉన్న భయానికి అవి తోడయ్యి గోరంత సమస్యను కొండంత చేస్తాయి. 

వ్యాయామము చేస్తే గర్భవతులలో ఉన్న ఈ ఆందోళన తగ్గిపోతుంది. వ్యాయామం వల్ల శరీరం విశ్రాంతిని బాగా కోరుకుంటుంది. దీని ఫలితంగా ఎలాంటి గందరగోళం లేకుండా హాయిగా నిద్రపోతారు. ఇక ప్రసవానికి ముందు మహిళలు వ్యాయామం చేస్తుందం ద్వారా మరొక అద్భుత ప్రయోజనం ఉంటుంది. అదే గర్భవతిలో కండరాలను దృఢంగా చేయడం. ప్రసవం సమయంలో గర్భవతులలో కండరాల సంకోచం వ్యాకోచాలు అధికంగా జరుగుతాయి. ఈ సంకోచ వ్యాకోచాల కారణంగా కండరాలు మరింత బలహీనం అవుతాయి. అదే వ్యాయామం వల్ల కండరాలు దృఢంగా మారితే ప్రసవ సమయంలో నొప్పులను భరించడం సాధ్యమవుతుంది. 

అకాలపు ప్రసవాలు, ప్రసవ సమయంలో ప్రమాదాలు, సాధారణ ప్రసవాన్ని భరించలేక సిజేరియన్ వైపు మొగ్గు చూపడం వంటి వాటిని గర్భవతులు వ్యాయామం ద్వారా దూరం ఉంచవచ్చు. 

గర్భాశయము అంటే బోలుగా ఉండే ఒక కండరము.  ఈ కండరము ప్రపన సమయములో శిశువును బయటికి నెట్టడానికి సహకరిస్తుంది. ఈ కండరము గర్భాశయ ద్వారము దగ్గర ఉండి ఇతర కండరాల ఒత్తిడిని ప్రతిఘటించి కడుపులో బిడ్డను బయటకు నెట్టేందుకు సహకరిస్తుంది. వ్యాయామం వల్ల ఈ కండరం దృఢంగా మారుతుంది.  

ఒక వైపు నొప్పులు మరో వైపు భయము చేరి ప్రసవ సమయములో కండరములు సరిగా పని చేయకుండా అవరోధము కలిగిస్తుంటాయి. అందుకే గర్భవతులు  వ్యాయామము చేస్తూ,  ప్రసవానికి సంబంధించిన విషయాలను తెలుసుకుంటూ ఉంటే గర్భవతులకు ప్రవేశం సమయంలో ఆందోళన ఏర్పడకుండా సాఫీగా జరిగిపోతుంది. కాబట్టి గర్భవతులకు వ్యాయామం ఎంతో ముఖ్యం. అయితే నిపుణులను అడిగి వారి నెలలను బట్టి వ్యాయామాలను తెలుసుకుని చేయాలి.

మహిళలకు ఫిట్నెస్ కావాలంటే ఈ పని చేయొద్దు..

మహిళలకు ఫిట్నెస్ కావాలంటే ఈ పని చేయొద్దు..

ఫిట్నెస్ గురించి ప్రత్యేకంగా లెక్చర్ ఇవ్వాల్సిన అవసరం లేదు ఈ కాలంలో. ఏమి తినాలి?? ఏమి తింటే ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉంటాం అనేది ప్రతి ఒక్కరికీ తెలుసు. కానీ పాటించడమే చేతకాదు. నిజాన్ని నిజంగా చెప్పుకుంటే ఇదే నిజం. చాలా మంది ఆరోగ్యంగా ఫిట్నెస్ గా ఉండాలంటే పోషకాలు తగిన మోతాదులో లభించాలని అనుకుంటారు. శారీరక దృఢత్వానికి సరిపడిన పోషకాలు అవసరమే అయినా వాటిని ఎలా తీసుకుంటున్నాం అనేది కూడా చాలా ముఖ్యం.


కోవిడ్ వచ్చిన సమయాలు గుర్తు చేసుకుంటే ఎంతోమంది తమకు సరిపడా పోషకాలు అందట్లేదని, ఇమ్యూనిటీ తక్కువగా ఉందనే కారణంతో కృత్రిమంగా పోషకాలను తీసుకున్నారు. అంతకు ముందు విటమిన్స్ లోపం అనే సమస్య వస్తే డాక్టర్లు విటమిన్ లోపానికి తగిన పండ్లు, కూరగాయలు వాడమని సలహా ఇచ్చేవారు. కోవిడ్ తరువాత ఈ తీరు మారింది. పండ్లు, కూరగాయలు స్థానంలో విటమిన్ సప్లిమెంట్స్ వచ్చి చేరాయి. ముఖ్యంగా మహిళలకు అంతకు ముందు వరకు కేవలం కాల్షియం టాబ్లెట్స్ మాత్రమే వాడమని సలహా ఇచ్చేవారు. కోవిడ్ తరువాత ఈ పరిస్థితిలో చాలా మార్పు వచ్చింది.


ఫిట్టా.. ఫట్టా..


 ఫిట్నెస్ కోసం మార్కెట్లో ఉన్న సప్లిమెంట్స్ అన్ని నిజంగానే ఫిట్నెస్ ను ఇస్తున్నాయా?? అనే ప్రశ్న వేసుకుంటే.. ఫిట్నెస్ ఏ మూల ఉందో వెతుక్కోవాల్సి వస్తోంది. 


సామాజిక మాధ్యమాల్లో కనిపించే యాడ్ లు, ఫేక్ ప్రమోషన్లు చూసి పొరపడేవాళ్ళు ఎక్కువ. మహిళల చర్మం యవ్వనంగా ఉండటానికి, జుట్టు ఆరోగ్యంగా పెరగడానికి, చర్మం రంగు మారడానికి విటమిన్ సప్లిమెంట్లు విరివిగా తీసుకుంటుంటున్నారు గత రెండేళ్ల నుండి.


ఆహారం ద్వారా భర్తీ కావాల్సిన పోషకాలను ఇలా భర్తీ చేసుకుంటున్న వీళ్లను ప్రశ్నిస్తే చాలామంది చెప్పే సమాధానం రోజుకు అవసరమయ్యే పోషకాలు, విటమిన్స్ ఆహారంలో దొరకడం కష్టం కదా అని.  ఈ మాటలో నిజమెంత?? 


మనకు రోజులో అవసరమయ్యే పోషకాలు మనకు లభ్యం కావు అనే మాట కాస్త ఆత్మ విమర్శ చేసుకుని నిర్ణయిస్తే బాగుంటుంది.  ప్రతిరోజూ సరిపడిన మోతాదులో ఆకు కూరలు, కూరగాయలు, పండ్లు తీసుకుంటే 90% పోషకాలు సులభంగానే మనకు లభిస్తాయి. పప్పు ధాన్యాలు, పాలు, గుడ్లు, పాల ఆధారిత పదార్థాలు మొదలైన వాటి నుండి, మాంసం, చేపలు మొదలైన వాటి నుండి పోషకాలు సమృద్ధిగా లభిస్తాయి. అయితే వీటన్నిటిని తీసుకునే అవసరం లేకుండా కేవలం విటమిన్ సప్లిమెంట్స్ తీసుకుని పోషకాలను భర్తీ చేస్తే శరీర వ్యవస్థ దెబ్బతింటుంది.


విటమిన్ బి12, బయోటిన్, విటమిన్ ఇ, విటమిన్ సి మొదలైనవన్నీ ఇలా సప్లిమెంట్స్ లా తీసుకుంటే శరీర కంధర వ్యవస్థ నుండి కణజాల వ్యవస్థ వరకు అన్నీ దెబ్బ తింటాయి. ఇవి మహిళల్లో ఋతు చక్రానికి ఆటంకం కలిగిస్తాయి. అందుకే ఇలాంటి సప్లిమెంట్లకు దూరంగా ఉండండి. ఆహారం నుండే పోషకాలను పొందండి.

మహిళలు ఫిజికల్ గా స్ట్రాంగ్ గా ఉండాలని, కేవలం ఇంటి పనులు చేసుకుంటూ ఉంటే అది శరీరాన్ని దృఢంగా ఉంచదని ఈ మధ్య కాలంలో తెలుసుకుంటున్నారు. ఇందుకోసం చాలామంది మహిళలు వర్కౌట్స్ చేస్తుంటారు. ఇలా వర్కౌట్స్ చేయడం మంచిదే.. కొందరు జిమ్ లలో శిక్షకుల సమక్షంలో వర్కౌట్స్ చేస్తే అధిక శాతం మంది ఆన్లైల్ లో వివిధ ఆసనాలు, ఎక్సర్సైజులు చూసి వాటిని ఫాలో అవుతుంటారు. అయితే అవహాహన లేకుండా వీటిని ఫాలో అవ్వడం చాలా తప్పు. దీనివల్ల శరీరం ఫిట్ గా మారడం కథ దేవుడెరుగు, ఉన్న ఫిట్నెస్ కూడా దెబ్బతినే అవకాశం ఉంటుంది. ఇంతకీ వర్కౌట్స్ విషయంలో అందరూ తెలియకుండానే చేస్తున్న పొరపాట్లు ఏమిటో తెలుసుకుంటే..

బరువు తగ్గాలనే ఆలోచనతో చాలా మంది ఎక్కడైనా ఎవరైనా ఒక ఆసనం లేదా వ్యాయామం గురించి ప్రస్తావిస్తే దాన్ని చాలా భీభత్సంగా ఫాలో అవుతారు. అందుకే దేన్నైనా మొదట తేలికగా మొదలుపెట్టడం ఉత్తమం.

వర్కౌట్లు చేయడానికి ముందు వార్మప్ ఫాలో కావాలి. దీనివల్ల శరీరంలో కండరాలు, వివిధ అవయవాలు వ్యాయామానికి తగిన విధంగా సిద్దమవుతాయి. వార్మప్ వల్ల శరీరం సాగదీయబడుతుంది. ఇది లేకుండా వ్యాయామం చేస్తే శరీరంలో కండరాలు, వివిధ భాగలు ఎక్కడివక్కడ పట్టుకుపోతాయి. ముఖ్యంగా కాళ్ల కండరాలు, నడుము, పిక్కలు, తొడలు, భుజాలు వంటివి  పట్టుకుపోతాయి.

వర్కౌట్స్ చేసి శరీరాన్ని మార్చుకోవాలని అనుకునేవారు నెలల తరబడి వ్యాయామం ఫాలో అవ్వాలి . అన్నిరోజులూ ఒకే రకమైన వ్యాయామం పాలో అవ్వడం  చాలా బోరింగ్ గా ఉంటుంది. అందుకని విభిన్న రకాల వ్యాయామాలను ఎంచుకోవాలి. వీటిని మార్చి మార్చి చేస్తుండాలి. మరీ ముఖ్యంగా వ్యాయామాలు ప్రతిరోజు ఒకే సమయానికి పాలో కావడం మంచిది. దీనివల్ల శరీరం వ్యాయామానికి తగిన విధంగా యాక్టీవ్ అవుతుంది. శరీరంలో మార్పు ఒక క్రమపద్దతిలో సాగుతుంది.

బరువు తగ్గడానికో, ఫిట్నెస్ గా ఉండటానికో వ్యాయామం ఫాలో అవుతుంటే అది శరీరం మీద గణనీయంగా ప్రభావం చూపిస్తుంది, వ్యాయామం చేసేటప్పుడు ఆహారం కూడా ప్రధాన పాత్ర పోషిస్తుంది. బరువు తగ్గడానికి డైటింగ్ ఫాలో అవుతూ, వ్యాయామం కూడా చేయడం మంచిది కాదు. దీని వల్ల శరీరం దారుణంగా దెబ్బ తింటుంది. కాబట్టి ప్రోటీన్ ఫుడ్ బాగా తీసుకోవాలి. శరీరంలో కేలరీలు బర్న్ చేయడానికి వ్యాయామాలను కూడా ఫాలో అవ్వాలి

వ్యాయామం తరువాత అందరూ ఇక పనులలో మునిహిపోవడం చేస్తుంటారు. కానీ వ్యాయామానికి ముందు శరీరాన్ని ఎలాగైతే వార్మప్ చేశారో, అలాగే శరీరాన్ని కూల్ డౌన్ కూడా చేయాలి. ఇలా చేయడం వల్ల వ్యాయామం వల్ల ఉత్తేజితమైన కండరాలు, శరీర అవయవాలు మెల్లిగా సాధారణ స్థితికి వస్తాయి.

మహిళలు తెలిసీ తెలియక ఈ పొరపాట్లు అన్నీ చేస్తుంటారు. వీటిని సవరించుకుంటేనే శరీరం ఫిట్నెస్ గా మారుతుంది.

మహిళల ఫిట్నెస్ మొత్తం పాడుచేసే ఒకే ఒక్క సమస్య ఇదే!

మహిళల ఫిట్నెస్ మొత్తం పాడుచేసే ఒకే ఒక్క సమస్య ఇదే!

ఆహారం అమృతం అనే మాట అందరికీ తెలిసిందే. మనం తినే ఆహారమే శరీరాన్ని ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉంచుతుంది. అయితే అతి అన్నది అన్ని విషయాలలో అనర్థాన్నే మిగులుస్తుంది. చాలామంది మహిళలు అతిగా తినే సమస్యను ఎదుర్కొంటున్నారు. అలాగని తాము అతిగా తింటున్నాం అనే విషయం వారికి మింగుడు పడదు. ఎంత తిన్నా కడుపు నిండినట్టు అనిపించకపోవడం, తిన్న కొంతసేపటికే మళ్లీ ఆకలికావడం. వంటి పరిస్థితులు పదే పదే ఎదురవుతూ ఉంటాయి. దీనివల్ల అతిగా తినడం జరుగుతుంది. అతిగా తిని లావైపోయిన వారు బరువు తగ్గడం కోసం ఎన్నెన్నో ప్రయత్నాలు చేస్తారు. తిండి తగ్గించాలని అనుకుంటారు కానీ అది సాధ్యం కాదు. బరువు తగ్గడానికి వాకింగ్ చేయడం, వ్యాయామాలు చేయడం మొదలుపెడతారు. కానీ అది కూడా సత్పలితాలను ఇవ్వదు. ఇలా  భీభత్సంగా ఆకలి కావడానికి, అతిగా తినడానికి  కారణం డిప్రెషన్ ఈటింగ్ అనే సమస్య. డిప్రెషన్ ఈటింగ్ మూలాన మహిళలు చాలా ఇబ్బందులు పడుతున్నారనే విషయం మహిళలను కలవరపెడుతుంది. కానీ ఈ సమస్య ఎందుకొస్తుందో తెలుసుకుని అధిగమించడం వల్ల దీని కారణంగా ఎదురయ్యే ఇతర సమస్యలను పరిష్కరించుకోవచ్చు.

మహిళల్లో తినడం అనేది భావోద్వేగ విషయాలతో సంబంధం కలిగి ఉంటుందని చాలామంది చెబుతారు. అందుకే చాలామంది మహిళలు  కోపం, ఆవేశం, బాధ మొదలయిన పరిస్థితులలో ఉన్నప్పుడు సాధారణంగా తినేదానికన్నా ఎక్కువగా తింటుంటారు. ఇది నాణేనికి ఒక కోణం అయితే మరొక కోణంలో మహిళలు డిప్రెషన్ ఈటింగ్ సమస్యను ఎదుర్కొంటున్నారు. ఎంత తిన్నా సాటిసిఫాక్షన్ లేకపోవడం ఒకటైతే, భావోద్వేగాల కారణంగా తినడంలో తృప్తి లభించకపోవడం మరొకటి. ఇవి రెండూ ఒకదానికొకటి సంబంధమై ఉంటాయి. వీటిని సాటిసిపై చేసే ఉద్దేశంలో తినడమనే ప్రాసెస్ సాగుతూ ఉంటుంది. నిజానికి ఇలా జరగడానికి కారణం కార్టిసాల్ హార్మోన్.  

శరీరంలో ధీర్ఘకాలిక ఒత్తిడి కొనసాగినప్పుడు ఈ కార్టిసాల్ విడుదల వేగం అవుతుంది. ఇది ముఖ్యంగా ఆకలిని పెంచుతుంది. ఎంత తిన్నా సాటిసిపై కాకపోవడానిక ఇదే కారణం. అధికశాతం మంది మహిళలు ఉబకాయం, అధికబరువు సమస్యకు  గురికావడానికి ఇదే ప్రధాన కారణం. చాలామంది ఆకలైన ప్రతిసారి తినడమనే పని చేసి తృప్తి పడుతూ ఉంటారు. మరికొందరు తమ ఆకలిని గమనించుకుని దాన్ని కంట్రోల్ చేయలేక ఆహారానికి లొంగిపోతుంటారు. కానీ ఎవరూ దీనికి మూలాన్ని గురించి ఆలోచించరు. మూలాన్ని పరిష్కరించుకోవాలని ప్రయత్నించరు.  అందుకే ఈ సమస్య కష్టమైనదిగానూ, అధిగమించలేనిది గానూ అనిపిస్తుంది.

డిప్రెషన్ ఈటింగ్ అధిగమించాలంటే..

డిప్రెషన్ ఈటింగ్ కు ప్రధాన కారణం ఒత్తిడి. మానసిక ఒత్తిడి ద్వారా మొదలయ్యే ఈ సమస్య శారీరక సమస్యగా మారుతుంది. దీన్ని అధిగమించాలంటే మానసికంగానూ, శారీరంకగానూ నియంత్రణ సాధించడం చాలా  ముఖ్యం. తిండి మీద నియంత్రణ సాధించాలంటే ఆకలిపేరుతో ఎడా పెడా తినేయకుండా తినేముందు నిజంగానే ఆకలిగా ఉందా? లేక కేవలం మనసుకు అలా అనిపిస్తోందా? అనే విషయాన్ని ఆలోచించడం చాలా ముఖ్యం. దీని వల్ల మానసికంగా కాస్త నియంత్రణకు ఓ మార్గం దొరికినట్టవుతుంది.  ప్రతి రోజూ ఏ సమయంలో ఏ ఆహారం ఎంత మొత్తంలో తింటున్నారో ఒక చిన్న నోట్ లో రాసుకోవడం మంచిది. దీనివల్ల ఆహారం మీద అవగాహన కలుగుతుంది.  తినే ఆహారంలో ఫాస్ట్ ఫుడ్, జంక్ ఫుడ్, ప్యాక్డ్ ఫుడ్స్ మొదలయినవి లేకుండా జాగ్రత్త పడాలి. వాటిని అందుబాటులో ఉంచుకోకూడదు. ఆకలి వేసినప్పుడల్లా పచ్చిగా తినగలిగే కూరగాయలు, పండ్లు, ఫైబర్ అధికంగా ఉన్న  ఆహారాలు, కేలరీలు ఎక్కువలేకుండా ఉండే ఫుడ్స్ తినడం మంచిది. ఇవి చేస్తూ కార్టిసాల్ హార్మోన్ ను నియంత్రించడానికి ప్రయత్నించాలి.

హార్మోన్లను నియంత్రించడం అనేది ఎప్పుడూ  మనిషి చేతుల్లో చాలావరకూ ఉంటుంది. ప్రతిరోజు ధ్యానం, వ్యాయామం, యోగా, ఉదయం , సాయంత్రం  చిన్నపాటి నడక  మొదలయినవి ఫాలో అయితే  క్రమంగా శరీరంలోని హార్మోన్లను నియంత్రణలోకి తీసుకురావచ్చు.  సాధారణ వైద్యుల నుండి ఆయుర్వేదం వరకు.. పోషకాహార నిపుణుల నుండి ఫిట్నెల్ ట్రైనర్ల వరకు  చాలామంది ఆహారనికి, మహిళలలో ఒత్తిడికి చాలా దగ్గర సంబంధముందని చెబుతున్నారు. మహిళలలో వివిధ దశలలో మారే హార్మోన్లు, ఆ సమయాల్లో మహిళల శరీరంలో కలిగే మార్పులు ఇందుకు ఉదాహరణ.

ఈ సమయంలో పండ్లు తింటే సులభంగా బరువు తగ్గుతారు..!!

ఈ సమయంలో పండ్లు తింటే సులభంగా బరువు తగ్గుతారు..!!
 

 

మన ఆహారం, జీవనశైలిలో పండ్ల వినియోగం చాలా అవసరం. కానీ పండ్లు సరైన మోతాదులో, సరైన సమయంలో తీసుకోవాలి. కానీ క్యాలరీలు, ఫైబర్, గ్లూకోజ్ అధికంగా ఉండే పండ్లు, తప్పుడు సమయంలో తప్పుడు కాంబినేషన్‌లో తీసుకోవడం వల్ల బరువు పెరగడానికి బదులుగా మీ ఆరోగ్యంపై ఎలాంటి ప్రయోజనం ఉండదు.  కొన్ని ఇతర ఆరోగ్య సమస్యలను కలిగిస్తాయి. అయితే పండ్లు ఈ సమయంలో తింటే బరువు సులభంగా తగ్గుతారని ఆరోగ్య నిపుణులు చెబుతున్నారు.

తక్కువ గ్లైసెమిక్ ఇండెక్స్ పండ్లను ఎంచుకోండి:

పోషకాహార నిపుణులు బెర్రీలు, చెర్రీస్, యాపిల్స్, బేరి వంటి తక్కువ గ్లైసెమిక్ ఇండెక్స్ ఉన్న పండ్లను ఎంచుకోవాలని సూచించారు. ఈ పండ్లు చక్కెరను రక్తప్రవాహంలోకి నెమ్మదిగా విడుదల చేస్తాయి. ఇది రక్తంలో చక్కెర స్థాయిలను నియంత్రించడంలో సహాయపడుతుంది. బరువు పెరగడానికి దారితీసే స్పైక్‌లను నివారిస్తుంది.

పండ్లను ప్రోటీన్‌తో జత చేయండి:

మీ పండ్ల తీసుకోవడం మరింత సమతుల్యంగా, సంతృప్తికరంగా చేయడానికి, వాటిని ప్రోటీన్ తో తీసుకోండి. గ్రీక్ పెరుగు, కాటేజ్ చీజ్ లేదా కొన్ని డ్రై ఫ్రూట్స్ వంటి ప్రొటీన్లు అధికంగా ఉండే ఆహారాన్ని పండ్లతో పాటు తినడం వల్ల ఆకలిని అరికట్టవచ్చు. మిమ్మల్ని ఎక్కువసేపు ఆకలి లేకుండా కడుపు నిండుగా ఉంచుతుంది.

ఖాళీ కడుపుతో పండ్లు తినకూడదు:

పండ్లు పుష్టికరమైనవి అయినప్పటికీ, వాటిని ఖాళీ కడుపుతో తినడం వల్ల రక్తంలో చక్కెర స్థాయిలు వేగంగా పెరుగుతాయి. దీనిని నివారించడానికి, ప్రోటీన్, ఆరోగ్యకరమైన కొవ్వులు, తృణధాన్యాలు కలిగి ఉన్న సమతుల్య భోజనం లేదా చిరుతిండిలో భాగంగా పండ్లను తినమని పోషకాహార నిపుణుల సూచిస్తున్నారు.

సమతుల్య ఆహారంలో పండ్లను చేర్చండి:

 కేవలం చిరుతిండిగా పండ్లపై ఆధారపడకుండా, అదనపు పోషకాలు, ఫైబర్ కోసం వాటిని మీ భోజనంలో చేర్చుకోండి. సలాడ్‌లకు పండ్లను జోడించండి, వాటిని స్మూతీస్‌లో కలపండి లేదా తృణధాన్యాలు లేదా వోట్మీల్ కోసం వాటిని టాపింగ్స్‌గా ఉపయోగించండి.

జ్యూస్‌లు తాగడం కంటే పండ్లను తినండి:

పండ్ల రసాలు తాగేందుకు సౌకర్యవంతగా ఉన్నప్పటికీ..., అవి తరచుగా మొత్తం పండ్లలో ఉండే ఫైబర్ కంటెంట్‌ను కలిగి ఉండవు. చక్కెర, కేలరీలు ఎక్కువగా ఉండవచ్చు. ఫైబర్ నుండి ప్రయోజనం పొందడానికి మొత్తం పండ్లను తినడం ఉత్తమం. ఇది జీర్ణక్రియకు సహాయపడుతుంది. ఆకలిని నియంత్రించడంలో సహాయపడుతుంది. కాబట్టి, మార్కెట్‌లోని అన్ని కాలానుగుణ పండ్లలో అత్యంత పోషక ప్రయోజనాలను పొందండి.

మహిళలు ఫిట్ గా ఉండాలంటే కీ పాయింట్స్ ఇవే!

ఆరోగ్యమే మహాభాగ్యం అంటారు. ఇంటి ఇల్లాలు ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉంటే కుటుంబం అంతా ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉంటుందని నమ్ముతారు. అయితే దురదృష్టవశాత్తు ఏ ఇంట్లో చూసినా ఏదో ఒక అనారోగ్యంతో ఇబ్బంది పడే మహిళలు అధికం. ఆడవారి జీవితంలో పెళ్లి తరువాత పిల్లలు, వారి బాగోగులు, భర్త, అత్తమామలకు సపర్యలు చేయడం. వీటితో కాలం గడిచిపోతూ ఉంటుంది. తలనొప్పో.. నడుమునొప్పో వస్తే ఓ నొప్పి మాత్ర వేసుకుని సమస్యను బుజ్జగించడం మహిళలకు వెన్నతో పెట్టిన విద్య. తరచుగా పిల్లల ఆరోగ్యం వారి జీవితాలకు సంబంధించిన ప్రతిదానిని తల్లులు జాగ్రత్తగా చూసుకుంటారు, కానీ స్వంత ఆరోగ్యం విషయానికి వస్తే, చాలా  నిర్లక్ష్యంగా ఉంటారు. చాలా సార్లు, పిల్లలు దగ్గినప్పుడు లేదా తుమ్మినప్పుడు, తల్లి ఎంతో గాభరా పడుతుంది. , ఆమె ఇంటి చిట్కాల  నుండి డాక్టర్ ఇచ్చే చికిత్స వరకు అన్నీ పాటిస్తుంది.  భర్త అనారోగ్యం పాలైనప్పుడు కూడా ఇలాగే ఉంటుంది. కానీ తన విషయంలో మాత్రం అడుగడుగునా నిర్లక్ష్యమే. ఆడవారి ఆరోగ్యం తొందరగా పాడవ్వడానికి అసలు కారణాలు ఈ నిర్లక్ష్యమేనంటున్నారు వైద్యులు. మహిళలు ఫిట్ గా ఉండాలంటే.. ఇవి తప్పనిసరిగా ఫాలో అవ్వాలి.

 ఉదయం లేచిన దగ్గర నుండి రాత్రి పడుకునేవరకు కాళ్ళకు చక్రాలు కట్టుకుని తిరిగినట్టు ఉంటుంది ఆడవారి పరిస్థితి. భర్తకు, పిల్లలకు వేడివేడిగా కాఫీని, పాలను అందించడం మొదలు రాత్రి వారు నిద్రపోయేవరకు పరుగులే. ఉద్యోగం చేసే మహిళలకు ఈ సమస్య మరింత అధికం. మహిళలు ఫిట్ గా ఉండాలంటే వీటిని పాటించాలి.

ముందు మీరే ముఖ్యం..

మహిళలు ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉండటానికి ముఖ్యమైన కీ ఏదైనా ఉందంటే అదే ప్రాధాన్యత. పిల్లలకు, భర్తకు, అత్తమామలకు చివరికి  అతిథులకు కూడా ప్రాధాన్యత ఇస్తారేమో కానీ తమకు తాము ప్రాధాన్యత ఇచ్చుకోవడం తక్కువ. ఖరీదైన చీరల్లోనో.. నగల్లోనో ఆరోగ్యం దాగుంటుందా?? వెన్నపూసి వదిలే మాటల్లోనూ.. ఖరీదైన వస్తువుల్లోనూ ఆరోగ్యం ఉంటుందంటే ఒప్పుకుంటారా?? ఇవన్నీ కాదు ఆడవారు తమకు తాము ప్రాధాన్యం ఇచ్చుకోవాలి. ఏ విషయంలో ప్రాధాన్యతలు ఇవ్వాలంటే..

 ఆహారం..

వేడివేడిగా అందరికీ వడ్డించి చివరగా తాను తినే మహిళ.. ఆ ఆహారం తనకెంతమాత్రం పోషకాలను అందిస్తోందో ఆలోచించాలి. భర్త పార్టీలో తిన్నానని, పిల్లలు బయట తిన్నారని ఇంట్లో తినడం మనేసినప్పుడు.. రాత్రి, మరుసటిరోజు ఉదయం కూడా మిగిలిన దాంతో కడుపు నింపుకుంటారు కానీ పోషకాలను మాత్రం అందించలేరు. అందుకే తాజాగా, పోషకాలు ఉన్న ఆహారం తీసుకోవాలి. 

వ్యాయామం..

ఉదయం నుండి రాత్రి వరకు ఇంటి పని చేస్తున్నాం సరిపోదా అని అందరూ అనుకుంటే పొరపాటు. ఆడవారికి వ్యాయామం ఉండాలి. ముఖ్యంగా మహిళలకు గర్భసంచి బాగుంటే ఎన్నో రకాల సమస్యలు దరిచేరవు. హార్మోన్ల సమతుల్యత ఉంటే అన్ని విధాలా బాగుంటారు. వ్యాయామం ఆడవారి ఆరోగ్యానికి చాలా ముఖ్యం.

బ్రేక్ లు భలే చిట్కాలు..

ఇంటి పని కావొచ్చు, ఆఫీసు పని కావొచ్చు.. రెండింటినీ డీల్ చేయడం పెద్ద టాస్క్ అనిపిస్తుంది. కానీ ప్రతి పనిలో గంటకోసారి 5 నిమిషాల రిలాక్సేషన్ మనిషిని అలసిపోనీయదు. అలాగని 5 నిమిషాల కోసం బ్రేక్ తీసుకుని అరగంట కూర్చుంటే మాత్రం పనులు నడవవు. 

ఆత్మవిశ్వాసం..

వంట దగ్గర నుండి ఇంట్లో పనుల వరకు మీరు సమర్థవంతంగా చేయగలరనే ఆత్మవిశ్వాసంతో మొదలిపెట్టాలి. ఇలా మొదలుపెడితే అరగంట పని కాస్తా 15 నుండి 20 నిమిషాల్లో తెగ్గొట్టేయచ్చు. 

మీకు మీరు ప్రాధాన్యత ఇచ్చుకోవాలి, మిమ్మల్ని మీరు నమ్మాలి. మీ ఆరోగ్యాన్ని మీరే కాపాడుకోవాలి.

మహిళలు రోజూ ఇవి ఫాలో అయితే అద్భుతమైన ఫిట్నెస్ సొంతమవుతుంది!

ఇంటి ఇల్లాలు ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉంటే ఆ ఇల్లు ఎంతో సంతోషంగా ఉంటుందని అంటారు. కానీ దురదృష్టవశాత్తు మహిళలే ఇంట్లో అందరికంటే పేలవమైన ఆరోగ్యాన్ని కలిగున్నారు. ఉదయం లేచింది మొదలు రాత్రి పడుకునేదాకా ఉరుకులు పరుగుల నీద సాగిపోతుంది సగటు మహిళ జీవితం. పిల్లలు, భర్త, అత్తమామలు వీరికి కావల్సినవి సమకూర్చి పెట్టడంలో సగటు మహిళ తనని తాను పట్టించుకోదు. 

మరీ ముఖ్యంగా ఇప్పటి కాలంలో మహిళలు చాలా వరకు ఉద్యోగాలు చేసేవారే. ఇంటి పనులకు తోడు ఉద్యోగాలు మహిళలను తొందరగా అలసిపోయేలా చేస్తాయి. అందుకే మహిళలు ఆరోగ్యపరంగా దృఢంగా ఉండటం చాలా ముఖ్యం. రోజంతా పనిచేస్తూనే ఉన్నాం కదా ఇదే పెద్ద వ్యాయామం అనుకునేవారు తమ ఆలోచనలను మార్చుకోవాలి. రోజంతా చేసే పనులలో శరీరంలో శక్తి మొత్తం తగ్గిపోతే దాన్ని తిరిగి సంపాదించుకోవడం ప్రతి ఒక్కరికీ ముఖ్యం. కేవలం ఆహారం ద్వారా లభించేది శక్తి అనిపించుకోదు.  దీనికోసం శరీరానికి శక్తి కూడదీసుకునే వ్యాయామాలు, యోగా అవసరం. ఈ కింది వాటిని రోజులో భాగం చేసుకుంటే శారీరకంగా ఫిట్ గా ఉండొచ్చు.

యోగ భారతీయులకు అందిన గొప్ప ఐశ్వర్యం అని చెప్పవచ్చు. యోగా సాధన కోసం కనీసం 30-45 నిమిషాలు,  వారానికి కనీసం 3 సార్లు కేటాయించడం ద్వారా అద్భుతం జరుగుతుంది. ఉదయాన్నే చేసే యోగ చాలా అనువైనది. యోగా ఆసనాలు, ప్రాణాయామం, ధ్యాన అభ్యాసాలతో రోజును ప్రారంభించడం ద్వారా మిగిలిన రోజంతా ఉల్లాసంగా గడిచిపోతుంది. శక్తి తిరిగి పుంజుకుంటుంది.   ఇందుకోసం సూర్య నమస్కారాలు బెస్ట్ ఆప్షన్.

సూర్య నమస్కారంలో మొత్తం 8 ఆసనాలు ఉంటాయి. కుడి, ఎడమకు వైపులు కలిపి మొత్తం  12 దశలతో ఇది ఉంటుంది. . సూర్య నమస్కారాన్ని ప్రారంభించినప్పుడు, కుడి వైపు నుండి ప్రారంభించాలి, ఎందుకంటే సూర్యుని శక్తి ఈ వైపు ద్వారా ప్రతీకాత్మకంగా సూచించబడుతుంది, అయితే చంద్రుడు ఎడమ వైపున ప్రాతినిధ్యం వహిస్తాడు. రెండు వైపులా కవర్ చేసినప్పుడు ఒక చక్రం పూర్తవుతుంది. ఇది 24 గణనలతో తయారు చేయబడి ఉంటుంది. 

సూర్య నమస్కారంలో ఇమిడిపోయిన ఆసనాలు..

ప్రాణం ఆసనం 

హస్త ఉతానాసన 

పాదహస్తాసనం 

అశ్వ సంచలనాసన 

సంతోలనాసనం 

అష్టాంగ నమస్కార ఆసనం

అధో ముఖ స్వనాసన 

అశ్వ సంచలనాసన 

పాదహస్తాసనం 

హస్త ఉతానాసనం

ప్రాణం ఆసనం 

ఇవన్నీ వేస్తే ఒక చక్రం పూర్తవుతుంది. ఇలాంటివి 11 చక్రాలు ప్రతిరోజూ చేస్తుంటే శరీరం చాలా దృడం అవుతుంది. ఇవి మాత్రమే కాకుండా విశ్రాంతి స్థితిలో ప్రాణాయామం, కపాల బాతి వంటివి రోజులో కొన్ని నిమిషాల పాటు ప్రాక్టీస్ చేయడం వల్ల శరీరంలో జరిగే అద్భుతం చూసి ఎవరికి వారు ఆశ్చర్యపోవాల్సిందే..

ఇదేదో సినిమాలో పాట కాదు. కొత్తగా వచ్చిన స్లోగన్ అంతకన్నా కాదు. అధికబరువు సమస్య ఉన్న ప్రతి ఒక్కరి మనసులో ఉన్న ఇంటెన్షన్. ఏంటి నిజమేనా కాదా?? బయటకు అధిక బరువు వల్ల తమకేమీ ఇబ్బంది అనిపించట్లేదులే అనే అభిప్రాయం కలిగించేలా ఉన్నా అధిక బరువు ఉన్న ప్రతి ఒక్కరి మనసులో అందరికీ ఈ బరువు వల్ల చెప్పలేని చావొచ్చింది అనే ఫీలింగ్ తప్పకుండా ఉంటుంది. అయితే అధిక బరువు ఉన్న వాళ్ళు చాలామందిలో ఫుడ్ విషయంలో చాలా అపోహలు ఉంటాయి. మరీ ముఖ్యంగా వాళ్ళూ, వీళ్ళు చెప్పే సలహాలు, అక్కడా ఇక్కడా చూసిన చిట్కాలు అన్నీ ఫాలో అవుతూ ఉంటారు. ఎక్కువ మందిలో బరువు తగ్గాలి అంటే చపాతీ తినాలి అనే అపోహ  ముఖ్యమైనది.

మొదట అందరూ తెలుసుకోవలసినది. మన శరీరం ఎత్తుకు తగిన బరువు ఉందా లేదా అనేది. ఎత్తు, ఎత్తుకు తగిన బరువు ఉన్న వారిలో ఇతర ఆరోగ్య సమస్యల ముప్పు తక్కువగా ఉంటుంది. కానీ ఎత్తుకు తగిన బరువు కంటే ఎక్కువ ఉన్నా, తక్కువ ఉన్నా కూడా ప్రమాదమే… ఈ బరువును బట్టి మాస్ ఇండెక్స్ తో కొలుస్తారు. ఇది మహిళలలో 30 కంటే ఎక్కువ ఉండకూడదు, అలాగే 23 కంటే తక్కువ ఉండకూడదు. ఆ రెండింటి మధ్య ఉన్నవారు సహజంగానే ఎత్తుకు తగిన బరువు కానీ దాని అటు ఇటుగా కొద్దిగా తేడాతో కానీ ఉండవచ్చు.

ఇక చాలామందిలో ఉండే ముఖ్యమైన ఆలోచన చపాతీ తింటే బరువు తగ్గుతారా అని. అయితే చపాతీ అయినా, అన్నం అయినా వేరే ఏ టిఫిన్ అయినా దానిని తగు మోతాదులో మాత్రమే తీసుకోవాలి. ఎందుకంటే ఏ ఆహారం అయినా ఎంత తింటున్నాం అనే దానిమీదనే ప్రతి ఒక్కరి బరువు ఆధారపడి ఉంటుంది. సాధారణంగా చాలామంది చపాతీ సూచించడానికి గల కారణం ఏమిటంటే వాటిని లెక్కపెట్టుకుని ఇన్ని అని తినచ్చు. అదే అన్నం అయితే ఒకటికి మూడు రకాల కూరలు ఉన్నప్పుడు ఎంత తక్కువ తిన్నా మూడింటితో కలిపి సుమరుగానే కడుపులోకి వెళ్ళిపోతుంది. 

బరువు తగ్గాలి అనుకునేవారు చేయాల్సింది అన్నం మానేయడం, చపాతీ తినడం వంటి చిట్కాలు పాటించడం కాదు. బరువు తగ్గాలి అంటే తీసుకునే ఆహారంలో నూనెలు, తీపు, ఉప్పు, కారం, మసాలా దినుసులు మొదలైనవి తగ్గించుకోవాలి. తీపి తినాలని అనిపించినప్పుడు బెల్లం కానీ, తేనె కానీ, తీపిని ఎక్కువగా కలిగి ఉండే ఖర్జురం, కిస్మిస్, అంజీర్ వంటి ఎండు ఫలాలు కానీ చాలా తక్కువ మొత్తంలో తీసుకోవాలి. అలా చేస్తే బరువు అనేది ప్రశ్నే కాదు.

బయటకు వెళ్ళినప్పుడు అనుకోకుండానే మనస్సు ఫాస్ట్ ఫుడ్ వైపుకు వెళ్తుంది. అందుకే సాయంకాలాలలో అందరితో కలిసి అలాంటి చోటికి వెళ్లకుండా పార్కులు, గుడులు వంటి ప్రదేశాలకు వెళ్ళాలి. అలా వెళ్తే అక్కడ ఎంతో ప్రశాంతత లభిస్తుంది.

పాలు పెరుగు తింటే లావు అవుతాము ఏమో అనే అపోహ చాలామందిలో ఉంటుంది. కానీ వాటిని తీసుకోకపోతే కాల్షియం లోపిస్తుంది. కాబట్టి పాలు పెరుగు వాటి ఇతర ఉత్పత్తులు తీసుకోవాలి. ఓట్స్, సోయా, ఫైబర్ అధికంగా  ఉన్న వాటిని ఆహారంలో భాగం చేసుకోవాలి. అన్నిటికంటే ముఖ్యంగా సహజంగా లభించే విటమిన్స్, ప్రోటీన్స్ ను శరీరానికి అందేలా చేయాలి. ఇలా చేస్తే బరువు బరువు నీతో ఎలా అని ప్రశ్న వేసుకునే బదులు బరువు బరువూ ఇదిగో ఇలా అని దానికి ఒక దారి చూపించేయవచ్చు.

పొట్ట తగ్గాలంటే...బ్రేక్ ఫాస్ట్‎లో ఇవి చేర్చుకోవాల్సిందే.!

కొందరికి పొట్ట తగ్గడం పెద్ద సమస్యగా మారుతుంది. బెల్లీ ఫ్యాట్ అనేక కారణాల వల్ల కలుగుతుంది. ఈ సమస్యను ఒక్కసారిగా అదుపు చేయడం కష్టం. ఆహారాలలో కొన్ని మీరు బరువు తగ్గడానికి, బొడ్డు కొవ్వును కరిగించడంలో సహాయపడతాయని పోషకాహార నిపుణులు అంటున్నారు.   మనం తీసుకునే అల్పాహారం కొవ్వును అదుపులో ఉంచుతుందని చెబుతున్నారు. బ్రేక్ ఫాస్టులో ఎలాంటి ఆహారం తీసుకుంటే పొట్ట తగ్గుతుందో ఇప్పుడు తెలుసుకుందాం.

అల్పాహారంలో ప్రోటీన్ ప్రాముఖ్యత:

కేలరీలు, చక్కెర, శుద్ధి చేసిన పదార్థాలు అధికంగా ఉండే ఆహారాలు మీ ఆరోగ్యానికి హానికలిగిస్తాయి. తక్కువ కేలరీలు, పోషకాలు అధికంగా ఉండే ఆహారాన్ని ఎంచుకోవడం చాలా అవసరం. అదనంగా, మీరు మీ భోజనం తినే విధానం కూడా చాలా ముఖ్యమైనది.
మీ ఉదయం అల్పాహారంలో ప్రోటీన్ ఎక్కువగా ఉండేలా చూడాలని పోషకనిపుణులు చెబుతున్నారు. ఇది పొట్ట కొవ్వును తగ్గించడంలో సహాయపడుతుంది.

ఆకలిని అణచివేస్తుంది:

ప్రోటీన్ ఆకలిని అణిచివేస్తుంది. తరచుగా తినాలనే కోరికను తగ్గిస్తుంది. ప్రోటీన్ అధికంగా ఉండే భోజనం జీవక్రియను పెంచుతుంది. మీ కడుపును నిండుగా ఉంచుతుంది. ఇది పొట్టలోని కొవ్వును కరిగించడంలో సహాయపడుతుంది.  దీనికి విరుద్ధంగా, అధిక కార్బోహైడ్రేట్ కంటెంట్ ఉన్న భోజనం రక్తంలో చక్కెర స్థాయిలను పెంచుతుంది. ఇన్సులిన్ విడుదలను ప్రేరేపిస్తుంది.  కొవ్వు నిల్వకు దారితీస్తుంది. కాబట్టి, మన అల్పాహారాన్ని "ప్రోటీన్"గా మార్చుకునే ప్రయత్నం చేయాలి.

ప్రోటీన్ కంటెంట్‌ను పెంచే సాధారణ బ్రేక్‌ఫాస్ట్‌లు:

పోహా:
పోహాలో 7 నుండి 8 వేరుశెనగ లేదా బఠానీలను జోడించండి.

ఉప్పిట్టు:

ఈ ఆరోగ్యకరమైన వంటకంలో బీన్స్ , 7 నుండి 8 వేరుశెనగలను వేయండి.

పరాఠాలు:

పరాఠాలు చేయడానికి గోధుమ పిండి, చిక్‌పా పిండిని ఉపయోగించండి. సగ్గుబియ్యానికి చిక్‌పీస్, పనీర్ లేదా బఠానీలను జోడించండి.

దోస/ఇడ్లీ:

త్వరిత, రుచికరమైన ప్రోటీన్ బూస్ట్ కోసం మీ దోస లేదా ఇడ్లీని వేరుశెనగ చట్నీతో జత చేయండి. వేరుశెనగ, బఠానీలు, పనీర్, చిక్‌పీస్‌తో సహా ఈ పదార్ధాలలో ప్రతి ఒక్కటి శాఖాహార ప్రోటీన్ యొక్క మంచి మూలాలు. వాటిలో కేలరీలు తక్కువగా ఉంటాయి. వేరుశెనగలో ఫైబర్, పోషకాలు పుష్కలంగా ఉంటాయి.

అరటిపండు:

అరటిపండ్లలో పీచుపదార్థాలు ఎక్కువగా ఉంటాయి కానీ కేలరీలు తక్కువగా ఉంటాయి. అరటిపండ్లు చక్కెరతో కూడిన అల్పాహార తృణధాన్యాలకు గొప్ప ప్రత్యామ్నాయం.  ఇవి ఉదయం మీ తీపి కోరికలను తీర్చగలవు. పండ్లు,  కూరగాయల నుండి ఫైబర్ తీసుకోవడం బరువు తగ్గడాన్ని ప్రోత్సహిస్తుంది.

అధికబరువు, బెల్లిఫ్యాట్ తో బాధపడుతున్నవారు ఉదయం అల్పాహారంలో పైన పేర్కొన్న ఆహారాలను చేర్చినట్లయితే..కొలెస్ట్రాల్ ను అదుపులో ఉంచుకోవచ్చు.
 


ఈ పండ్లు తిని నీళ్లు తాగకూడదు.. ఎందుకో తెలుసా!

 ఈ పండ్లు తిని..నీళ్లు తాగకూడదు ఎందుకో తెలుసా..

 

మనం ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉండాలంటే ఆరోగ్యకరమైన ఆహారంతోపాటు నీరు కూడా చాలా ముఖ్యం. తగినంత నీరు తాగడం ఆరోగ్యానికి చాలా మంచిది. అయితే పండ్లు తినడం ఆరోగ్యానికి ఎంతో మంచిది. ప్రతిరోజూ పండ్లు తినే అలవాటు చేసుకుంటే ఎలాంటి అనారోగ్య సమస్యలు దరిచేరవు. అయితే కొన్ని పండ్లు తినేప్పుడు నీళ్లు తాగకూడదని ఆరోగ్య నిపుణులు చెబుతున్నారు. ఆ పండ్లు తింటూ  నీరు త్రాగడం ఆరోగ్యానికి హానికరం. అంటే అజీర్ణం, అసౌకర్యాన్ని ప్రేరేపిస్తాయి. అయితే ఎలాంటి పండ్లు తినేప్పుడు నీళ్లు తాగకూడదు. తాగితే ఏమౌతుంది. ఇఫ్పుడు తెలుసుకుందాం.

ఆమ్ల ఫలాలు:

నారింజ, ద్రాక్షపండ్లు, నిమ్మకాయలు వంటి సిట్రస్ పండ్లు చాలా నీటిని కలిగి ఉంటాయి. ఈ పండ్లను ఎక్కువ నీటితో తీసుకోవడం వల్ల కడుపు నొప్పి లేదా నిండిన అనుభూతి కలుగుతుంది. వీటిని మితంగా తీసుకోవడం మంచిది. ఈ పండ్లను తిన్న తర్వాత నీరు త్రాగడానికి కాసేపు వేచి ఉండటం మంచిది.

అరటిపండ్లు:

అరటిపండ్లలో కరిగే ఫైబర్ ఉంటుంది. అరటిపండ్లు తిన్నప్పుడు నీళ్లు తాగడం వల్ల కడుపులోని గ్యాస్ట్రిక్ జ్యూస్‌లు పలచబడతాయి. ఇది అంతిమంగా జీర్ణక్రియను నెమ్మదిస్తుంది. అందుకే అరటి పండు తిన్న వెంటనే నీళ్లు తాగకూడదు.

పెరుగు:

పెరుగు అనేది ప్రోబయోటిక్స్ కలిగిన పాల ఉత్పత్తి. ఇది పేగు ఆరోగ్యానికి మేలు చేస్తుంది. పెరుగు తిన్న వెంటనే నీరు త్రాగడం వల్ల ఈ ప్రోబయోటిక్స్ కడిగి వాటి ప్రభావాన్ని తగ్గిస్తుంది. మీరు పెరుగుతో ఏదైనా తాగాలనుకుంటే, కొద్దిగా నీరు త్రాగాలి.

అన్నం:

 అన్నం తినే ముందు లేదా తర్వాత ఒక గ్లాసు నీరు త్రాగడం ఉత్తమం అయితే, అన్నం ఆధారిత ఆహారాలు తినేటప్పుడు ఎక్కువ నీరు త్రాగడం మానుకోండి. ఎక్కువ నీరు త్రాగడానికి ముందు అన్నం జీర్ణం కావడానికి కొంత సమయం ఇవ్వండి.

మసాలా ఆహారాలు:

మసాలా ఆహారాలు లేదా వేడి సాస్‌లు వంటి స్పైసీ ఫుడ్‌లు పెద్ద మొత్తంలో నీటితో కలిపి ఉన్నప్పుడు అసౌకర్యాన్ని కలిగిస్తాయి. కడుపులో మండే అనుభూతిని మరింత తీవ్రతరం చేస్తుంది. స్పైసీ ఫుడ్ తీసుకున్నప్పుడు నోరు చల్లబరచడానికి పాలు లేదా పెరుగు వంటి పాల ఉత్పత్తులు మంచి ఎంపికలు.


ఈ నాలుగు తింటే యవ్వనంగా ఉండటమే కాదు తెల్లజుట్టు నల్లగా మారిపోద్ది!

ఈ నాలుగు తింటే యవ్వనంగా ఉండటమే కాదు తెల్లజుట్టు నల్లగా మారిపోద్ది!
 

తెల్లజుట్టుతో కనిపించాలని ఎవరూ కోరుకోరు. కానీ వద్దంటే రాకుండా అది ఆగనే ఆగదు. కొందరిలో చిన్నవయసులోనూ, మరికొందరిలో ఒక వయసు దాటిన తరువాత తెల్లజుట్టు వచ్చే తీరుతుంది. పెద్ద వయసులో తెల్లజుట్టు వస్తే కాసింత కాంప్రమైజ్ అయ్యి దానికి హెన్నానో, హెయిర్ డై వంటివి పెట్టి కవర్ చేస్తారు. కానీ చిన్నవయసులోనే తెల్లజుట్టు వస్తేమాతం వయసు ఎక్కువ ఉన్నట్టు కనిపిస్తారు. రసాయనాలతో కూడిన హెయిర్ డైలు పెడితే మెదడు ఆరోగ్యానికే ప్రమాదం. అందుకే వివిధ రకాల షాంపూలు, హెయిర్ ఆయిల్స్ ప్రయత్నిస్తుంటారు. కానీ తెల్లజుట్టుకు నివారణకు చెయ్యాల్సింది నూనెలు పూయడం కాదు. లోపలినుండి జుట్టు నల్లబడేలా చెయ్యాలి. ఆ పనిని ఈ కింద చెప్పుకోబోయే నాలుగు ఆహారాలు సమర్థవంతంగా చేస్తాయి. అవేంటో తెలుసుకుని పాటించడమే తరువాయి..

ఉసిరికాయలు..

ఉసిరికాయలు  నవంబర్, డిసెంబర్ నెలల్లో అందుబాటులోకి వస్తాయి. ఫిబ్రవరి, మార్చి నెలల వరకు దొరుకుతాయి. పచ్చి ఉసిరికాయలను మిక్సీ వేసి జ్యూస్ చేసుకుని దాన్ని కాసిన్ని నీళ్లలో కలుపుకుని తాగాలి.  లేదంటే పచ్చి కాయలు అయినా తినచ్చు. ఉసిరికాయను ఎండబెట్టి పొడిచేసుకుని ఏడాది పొడవునా ఉపయోగించుకోవచ్చు. రోజూ ఉసిరికాయను తీసుకుంటూ ఉంటే తొందరలోనే తెల్లజుట్టు తగ్గిపోతుంది.

నల్ల ద్రాక్ష..

ద్రాక్షలో రెండు రకాలున్నాయి. వీటిలో నల్ల ద్రాక్ష తెల్లజుట్టుకు భలే మ్యాజిక్ చేస్తుంది. తాజా నల్ల ద్రాక్ష లేదా.. ఎండిన నల్లద్రాక్షను ప్రతిరోజూ తింటూ ఉంటే తెల్లజుట్టు నల్లగా మారుతుంది. ఎండిన నల్ల ద్రాక్షను రాత్రి నానబెట్టుకుని ఉదయాన్నే పరగడుపున తినవచ్చు కూడా.

నల్లనువ్వులు..

నల్లనువ్వులు ఆడవాళ్లకు చాలా మంచిది. అమ్మాయిలు రజస్వల అయినప్పుడు. మహిళలు డెలివరీ అయిన తరువాత, ఆపరేషన్లు అయినవాళ్లు నల్లనువ్వులు తింటే నడుము బలపడుతుందని, ఎముకలు ఆరోగ్యంగా ఉంటాయని చెబుతారు. ఇందులో కాల్షియం, ఐరన్ సమృద్దిగా ఉండటం వల్ల రక్తహీనత సమస్య కూడా అస్సలుండదు.

కరివేపాకు..

కరివేపాకును నూనె తయారీలో ఎక్కువగా వాడతారు. కానీ కరివేపాకును ప్రతిరోజూ తింటూ ఉంటే జుట్టు భలే నల్లగా మారుతుంది. ఇందులో విటమిన్-ఎ, విటమిన్-బి, విటమిన్-సి, విటమిన్-బి12 మొదలైనవి మెండుగా ఉంటాయి. కరివేపాకుతో వివిధ రకాల వంటలు చేసుకుని తింటే రుచికి రుచి, తెల్లజుట్టు మటాష్.

బరువు తగ్గడానికి చాలామంది పండ్ల రసాలు తీసుకుంటారు. ఇలా పండ్ల రసాలు తీసుకోవడం వల్ల బరువు తగ్గడానికి బదులుగా బరువు పెరిగే అవకాశాలే ఎక్కువ ఉంటాయి. ఎక్కువగా లిక్విడ్ డైట్ ఫాలో అయ్యేవారు చాలా తొందరగా ఊబకాయానికి గురవుతారు. అంటే పండ్ల రసాలు ఎక్కువగా తీసుకోవడం ఊబకాయానికి దారితీస్తుంది.

పండ్ల రసాలలో ఫ్రక్టోజ్ అనే సహజ చక్కెరలు ఉంటాయి. బరువు పెరగడంలో కారణమవుతాయి. అప్పుడప్పుడు పండ్లరసాలు తీసుకుంటే ఆరోగ్యానికి మంచిదే.. కనీసం రోజుకు ఒకసారి అయినా పండ్లరసం తీసుకోవడం  ఫర్వాలేదు. కానీ ఆహారాన్ని స్కిప్ చేసి మరీ పండ్లరసం తీసుకోవడం శరీరంలో చక్కెరలు ఎక్కువగా చేరడానికి కారణం అవుతుంది. ఇలా చక్కెరలు ఎక్కువగా చేరితే శరీరంలో కేలరీలు కూడా పెరిగిపోతాయి. పండ్లరసాలు ఎక్కువగా తాగితే  పొట్ట చుట్టూ కొవ్వు పెరిగి చాలా సులువుగా పొట్ట పడుతుంది.

సాధారణంగా పండ్లలో ఫైబర్ ఉంటుంది. నేరుగా పండ్లను తింటే పండ్లలో ఉండే ఫైబర్ జీర్ణాశయానికి మంచిది, అదే విధంగా ఫైబర్ జీర్ణం కావడానికి చాలా సమయం పడుతుంది కాబట్టి ఆకలి నియంత్రణలో ఉంటుంది. అదే విధంగా  బరువు తగ్గడంలో సహాయపడుతుంది. కానీ ఈ ఫైబర్ తప్పించి కేవలం పండ్ల రసాలు మాత్రమే తీసుకుంటే శరీరంలోకి కేవలం చక్కెరలు మాత్రమే ఎక్కవగా చేరతాయి. ఇది బరువు పెంచుతుంది.  

పండ్ల రసాలు తాగడాన్ని గమనిస్తే సాధారణంగా ఒక్కపండు తిన్నదానికంటే  ఒక గ్లాసు పండ్ల రసంకోసం ఉపయోగించే పండ్లు ఎక్కువ. ఒక గ్లాసు పండ్ల రసం కోసం కనీసం మూడు, నాలుగు పండ్లను వినియోగించాల్సి ఉంటుంది. ఫైబర్ ఏమీ లేకుండా కేవలం పండ్ల రసంతీసుకుంటే చక్కెరలు భారీగానే ఉంటాయి. ఇకపోతే కొందరు ఒకటి లేదా రెండు పండ్లనుండి రసం తీసి అందులో పంచదార, తేనె వంటివి జోడిస్తారు. ఇది కూడా శరీరంలో చక్కెరలు, కేలరీలు చేరడానికి కారణం అవుతుంది. కాబట్టి పండ్ల రసం ఎటు చూసినా బరువు పెరగడానికే తప్ప, బరువు తగ్గడానికి సహాయపడదు.

పండ్ల ద్వారా బరువు తగ్గాలని అనుకునేవారు నేరుగా పండ్లను తినడమే మంచిది. దీనివల్ల ఫైబర్ బాగా అందుతుంది. విటమిన్లు కూడా లభిస్తాయి. అదే విధంగా పండ్లరసంతో బరువు తగ్గాలని అనుకుంటే ముఖ్యంగా ప్రోటీన్లు శరీరానికి అందవు. ఎందుకంటే పండ్ల రసాలలో ప్రోటీన్లు ఏమీ ఉండవు. కాబట్టి బరువు తగ్గాలని అనుకునేవారు పండ్లను తీసుకోవచ్చు. అలాగే ప్రోటీన్లు బాగా ఉన్న ఆహారాన్ని తీసుకోవచ్చు. పండ్ల రసం మాత్రం  అవాయిడ్ చెయ్యాలి.

మహిళలు  ప్రతి రోజూ 5 నిమిషాలు శీర్షాసనం వేస్తే ఇన్ని లాభాలుంయాని తెలుసా?


మనిషి ఆరోగ్యానికి యోగాసనాలు ఎంతగానో ఉపయోగపడతాయి.  వీటిలో ఉండే ఒక్కో ఆసనానికి ఒక్కో ప్రత్యేకత ఉంటుంది.  కొన్ని అసనాలు వేయడం వల్ల ఉమ్మడి లాభాలు కూడా ఉంటాయి. సెలెబ్రిటీల నుండి సాధారణ వ్యక్తుల వరకు చాలామంది ఫాలో అయ్యే ఆసనం శీర్షాసనం. ఇది చాలా సింపుల్ గా ఉంటుంది. కాళ్లను పైకి ఎత్తి, తలను నేలమీద ఉంచి కాళ్లను నిటారుగా ఉంచడమే శీర్షాసనం. మహిళలు ప్రతిరోజూ ఓ  5నిమిషాలు శీర్షాసనం వేస్తే కలిగే ప్రయోజనాలు ఇవే..

రక్తప్రసరణ..

శీర్షాసనం వేయడం వల్ల రక్తప్రసరణ మెరుగవుతుంది. తల కిందకు, పాదాలు పైకి ఉండటం వల్ల గురుత్వాకర్షణ శక్తి వ్యతిరేకంగా పనిచేస్తుంది. రక్తం దిగువ భాగంలో చేరకుండానూ, రక్తం గడ్డకట్టకుండానూ నిరోధించడానికి గురుత్వాకర్షణ శక్తి సహాయపడుతుంది. కాబట్టి  శీర్షాసనం వల్ల సైడ్ ఎఫెక్ట్స్ అయితే ఉండవు. మరీ ముఖ్యంగా శీర్షాసనం వేయడం వల్ల తలకు రక్తప్రసరణ బాగా జరిగి జుట్టు ఒత్తుగా పెరుగుతుంది.

వాపులు తగ్గుతాయ్..

చాలామంది మహిళలలో కాళ్ళలో వాపులు కనిపిస్తుంటాయి. దీనికి కారణం కాళ్లలో నీరు పేరుకుపోవడం. అయితే ఈ సమస్య ఉన్నవాళ్లు రోజులో 5 నిమిషాలు శీర్షాసనం వేయడం వల్ల  ప్లూయిడ్ రిటెన్షన్ అనే సమస్యని అధిగమించడం సులువు అవుతుంది. దీని కారణంగా కాళ్లలో నీరు చేరడమనే సమస్య కూడా తగ్గుతుంది. మరొక బెనిఫిట్ ఏంటంటే.. జీర్ణవ్యవస్థకి రక్తప్రసరణ పెరగడం వల్ల జీర్ణక్రియ కూడా బాగా జరుగుతుంది.

ఉబ్బిన నరాలకు చెక్..

కొంతమంది మహిళలలో కాళ్లు, చేతులలో నరాలు ఉబ్బి నీలం రంగులో కనిపిస్తూ ఉంటాయి. దీన్ని వెరికోస్ వెయిన్స్ అని అంటారు. ఈ సమస్య ఉన్నవారు రోజూ 5 నిమిషాలు శీర్షాసనం వేయడం వల్ల కాళ్లలోని నరాల మీద ఒత్తిడి తగ్గుతుంది. తద్వారా ఈ నరాలు ఉబ్బడం అనే సమస్య పరిష్కారం అవుతుంది. అదే విధంగా సిరల సమస్యలతో బాధపడేవారికి కూడా ఇది మంచిది.

నొప్పులకు చెక్..

నొప్పులు చాలామందిలో సహజం. తుంటి నొప్పి, నడుము నొప్పి వంటివి చాలామందిలో ఉంటాయి. ఈ నొప్పుల నుండి ఉపశమనం కలిగించడంలో శీర్షాసనం సహాయపడుతుంది.  తుంటి ప్రాంతం, నడుము మొదలైన ప్రాంతాలలో ఒత్తిడి తగ్గి  నొప్పిని తగ్గించడంలో ఇది సహాయపడుతుంది.  ఇది మాత్రమే కాదు.. రోజూ వర్కౌట్ చేసే మహిళలకు కూడా ఇది చక్కగా ఉపయోగపడుతుంది. అలసట నుండి రిలాక్స్ కావడానికి ఇది మంచి మార్గం.

నిద్రకు ఔషదం..

శీర్షాసనం వల్ల నిద్ర సమస్యలు దూరం అవుతాయి. ఇది కండరాలకు, శరీరానికి విశ్రాంతి ఇస్తుంది. ఉబ్బిన కళ్లకు కూడా ఇది మంచి వర్కౌట్ లాగా పనిచేస్తుంది.  ఎలాగంటే.. ముఖంలో ఉండే కణజాలలో ద్రవాలు పేరుకుపోవడాన్ని ఇది నివారించడంలో సహాయపడుతుంది.
