“Losing weight” seems to be on most people’s New Year’s agenda. Out of 10 people I asked “What’s your New Year’s resolution”, more than 6 answered that they want to lose weight and get in shape! Well, not a bad trend, is it? But Why is there so much praise for being thin today, especially the younger generation?” , Perhaps the ramp-model has the answer. Size zero is becoming increasingly popular and even middle-aged moms are trying hard to fit into the jeans of their twenties. Is this correct or do we need to think more?
let’s watch-
One thing is certain that excess body fat is not a healthy sign. Flab refers to fat, not muscle. Therefore, undoubtedly reducing this potential should be a priority. The lower the activity level, the more concerned a person should be about body fat. Yes! Read the sentence carefully. Today scientists have found a huge positive correlation between health and activity level. Regular exercise is less likely to cause ill health, regardless of your weight.
But here it is also to be understood that being overweight, in many cases leads to low activity levels (due to inability to move fast) and this contributes to high adiposity. How to stop this vicious circle? can we do
The answer is thankfully yes!
If you were slim, lean, and healthy in your twenties, you have every right to stay that way in your mid-forties and beyond. what goes wrong? Many women think that childbirth is the culprit that contributed to their flab. Many men think that their highly stressful job is the reason. But the fact is that despite child birth and stressful jobs, there are men and women who can maintain ideal body weight and lead a healthy life. So, why can’t we? we can also!
What can be done?
- Stay away from myths-
(1) If we want to lose weight then we should follow a strict dietThe first condition for idealizing your weight and health is not to fall prey to rumours. You may have seen (or done it yourself) many people surviving on either bananas, hot water, soup, or ‘just’ vegetables for days at a time! It’s one of the top myths that eating less will make you lose weight. Not so. It will only weaken your immune system and make you vulnerable to serious diseases. So first of all if you are following then stop any such staple diet. Our bodies need adequate amounts of all components of the diet, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals and trace elements, to be able to deal with wear and tear. Carbohydrate-only or protein-only diets can help you lose weight for a temporary period (you also lose muscle mass during the process and not just fat). But once you stop these diets, you gain more weight, because clearly you can’t follow such set diets for life (I hope you don’t, otherwise … hats off to you!)
(2) eating only 2 full meals per day-Many elders are happy because they feel that we are eating only twice a day and not frequently. This is another myth that makes us fat. When you leave large gaps between your meals, you obviously end up eating more than can be digested properly. Therefore, excess sugars and proteins are converted into fat and this gets deposited under your skin and in the arteries (leading to atherosclerosis).
(3) Weight loss can be achieved by eating a fat-free dietRemember that fat is also an essential element of the diet. All we have to do is take it in prescribed quantity, not more than the limit. Have seen many such patients who completely deprive themselves of fat. What they get in return is wrinkled older looking skin. Fat is the natural moisturizer and toner for your body and hence essential. Minimize the amount of extra you eat and it won’t affect you harmfully.
(4) Joining gym is the only way to lose weightWell, here we are not reducing the importance of gym exercises, but let’s not make it a rule. There are many ways of exercise by which you can stay fit. Rather, sometimes some gym exercises are harmful for certain people. People suffering from joint problems and heart disease should be very careful while joining the gym. What’s more, the types of exercise set in for weeks and months together tend to lose interest. Instead, engaging ourselves in a variety of exercises keeps our motivations alive for longer (perhaps this is what we need most). You can jog, swim, dance or cycle for fitness!
- Weight loss remedies
(1)Reduce your weight in homeopathic way-
We homeopaths always emphasize the importance of homeopathic remedies for weight loss. Here I am not advertising any patent homeopathic medicine for weight loss. We are talking about classical homeopathy. does it help? Yes, it helps in more ways than we expected. The main reason why homeopathic medicines help in reducing weight is their ability to act on the mind.
The “mind” plays a very important role in maintaining or increasing your weight. It is the mind that makes you tense and you end up eating less or more. It is the mind that makes you sluggish to start your exercise regime. It is the mind that encourages you too to take the issue of obesity seriously and do something constructive about it.
And homeopathy helps in all these aspects to shape your mind and make it do what it needs to do. This is not an exaggeration. Absolutely lazy patients have been observed that when they are on constitutional homeopathic remedies, due to their ability, they exercise to the fullest. homeopathic remedies To work on higher planes. The same is true for maintaining an ideal diet.
Homeopathic medicine also helps a person deal with hormonal imbalances that contribute to excess weight. Therefore, when a patient of hypothyroidism and/or polycystic ovarian disease starts homeopathic treatment, the edema visible on the body gradually disappears and makes the patient fitter to achieve their goals.
(2)Exercise-
As discussed above, there is no substitute for exercise for your health. If someone tells you to follow a diet and not exercise to lose weight, he is lying to you! Try diversifying your regime to keep from getting bored and feeling energized for years to come. Incorporating this ingredient into your daily life is one of the most rewarding experiences you can give to your body, mind and soul. Combine this with relaxation techniques and your benefits will double!
Some helpful tips to lose weight-
- Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of plain water daily
- Get enough fiber, as this will promote bowel health and prevent constipation. Also it is one of the surest ways to delay aging
- Identify physical deficiencies and seek natural supplement support from an expert
- Eat frequent small meals (preferably every 2 to 3 hours)
- Be consistent in your regime. To do this, set small goals and reward yourself when you meet them.
- Certain meditation techniques go a long way in stabilizing one’s disordered eating behavior and providing the necessary motivation to do one’s best.
- Stay away from myths and don’t fall prey to heavily advertised patent diet pills, unless you verify their authenticity through an expert
May the year 2011 bring you lots of happiness, health and wellness to last a lifetime!
