Naturopathy: A Treatment By Nature

How to stay fit using Naturopathy

Naturopathy can treat life-style induced ailments that are even chronic in nature such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, upper respiratory tract infection and skin diseases, etc. The therapy is about detoxifying the body and taking people back to basics. There is no set formula as therapies are chosen keeping in mind specific needs of the person.

Diet plays a vital role in healing along with the therapies. As one goes into detoxification mode, naturopaths advise bland, boiled food at least till the time therapy is on. To aid healing, yoga, prayer and meditation also go hand in hand in this form of alternate treatment.

The five elements of Naturopathy:

Earth: People are given mud therapy that includes mud bath, mud packs, mud massage. Mud therapy conditions include chronic gastric ailments, skin diseases etc.

Water: This is called hydro-therapy. Water is on the major components of naturoopathy. It acts as stimulant and anti-pyretic which reduces fever and improves kidney function among other things.

Air: It is important to expose a person to fresh air post massage. In some cases, mud bath is given in open air to maximize benefit.

Ether: Ether denotes a vacuum and the treatment modality involves fasting therapy in accordance with the patient's condition.

The Sun: Fifth modality is the sun therapy, where those undergoing treatment are made to soak up sunlight in different surroundings. There are cabins that have different colored windows for a thermalium sun bath. Sun rays are known to have an invigorating effect and are also good for blood circulation that relax the body and bring the peace to the mind.

What to expect during treatment?
  • Complete/partial fasting with water or fruit diet
  • Bland food
  • Yoga
  • Meditation
  • Underwater Massage
  • Mud packs
  • Sun bathing

            Every Morning With Coconut Oil

            Let’s face it, we are exposed to an alarming amount of toxins on a daily basis. From the BPA that lines your canned goods to the pesticides liberally sprayed on anything alive these days, our bodies are constantly absorbing an outrageous amount of chemicals.

Over time, high concentrations of metals build up in our systems and can lead to a wide variety of conditions, including, but not limited to:
             
            •    Anemia
            •    Dizziness
            •    Fatigue
            •    Dry skin
            •    Joint or muscle aches
            •    Loss of appetite
            •    blood pressure issues
            •    Nausea
            •    Vitamin and mineral deficiencies

            Why Excess Abdominal Fat Is More DEADLY Than You Think

            Below is an article contributed by Mike Geary, the founder of TruthAboutAbs.com  I thought this was an important topic to share with you because the reality is that most people simply don't realize how dangerous their excess abdominal fat really is to their health.

            The Hidden Dangers of Your Excess Abdominal Fat - It's More Serious Than a Vanity Issue!
            by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer

            Did you know that the vast majority of people in this day and age have excess abdominal fat? The first thing that most people think of is that their extra abdominal fat is simply ugly, is covering up their abs from being visible, and makes them self conscious about showing off their body.

            However, what most people don't realize is that excess abdominal fat in particular, is not only ugly, but is also a dangerous risk factor to your health. Scientific research has clearly demonstrated that although it is unhealthy in general to have excess body fat throughout your body, it is also particularly dangerous to have excess abdominal fat.

            There are two types of fat that you have in your abdominal area. The first type that covers up your abs from being visible is called subcutaneous fat and lies directly beneath the skin and on top of the abdominal muscles.

            The second type of fat that you have in your abdominal area is called visceral fat, and that lies deeper in the abdomen beneath your muscle and surrounding your organs. Visceral fat also plays a role in giving certain men that "beer belly" appearance where their abdomen protrudes excessively but at the same time, also feels sort of hard if you push on it.

            Both subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in the abdominal area are serious health risk factors, but science has shown that having excessive visceral fat is even more dangerous than subcutaneous fat. Both of them greatly increase the risk your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, various forms of cancer, and other degenerative diseases.

            Part of the reason visceral fat is particularly dangerous is that it apparently releases more inflammatory molecules into your body on a consistent basis.

            If you care about the quality of your life and your loved ones, reducing your abdominal fat should be one of your TOP priorities! There's just no way around it. Besides, a side-effect of finally getting rid of all of that excessive ugly abdominal fat is that your stomach will flatten out, and if you lose enough stomach fat, you will be able to visibly see those sexy six pack abs that everyone wants.

            So what gets rid of extra abdominal fat? Is there actually a REAL solution beyond all of the gimmicks and hype that you see in ads and on commercials for "miracle" fat loss products?
            The first thing you must understand is that there is absolutely NO quick fix solution. There are no pills or supplements of any sort that will help you lose your abdominal fat faster. Also, none of the gimmicky ab rockers, rollers, or ab belts will help get rid of abdominal fat either. You can't spot reduce your stomach fat by using any of these worthless contraptions. It simply doesn't work that way.

            The ONLY solution to consistently lose your abdominal fat and keep it off for good is to combine a sound nutritious diet full of unprocessed natural foods with a properly designed strategic exercise program that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response within your body. Both your food intake as well as your training program are important if you are to get this right.

            I've actually even seen a particular study that divided thousands of participants into a diet-only group and an exercise/diet group. While both groups in this study made good progress, the diet-only group lost significantly LESS abdominal fat than the diet & exercise combined group.

            Now the important thing to realize is that just any old exercise program will not necessarily do the trick. The majority of people that attempt getting into a good exercise routine are NOT working out effectively enough to really stimulate the loss of stubborn abdominal fat. I see this everyday at the gym.

            Most people will do your typical boring ineffective cardio routines, throw in a little outdated body-part style weight training, and pump away with some crunches and side bends, and think that they are doing something useful for reducing their abdominal fat. Then they become frustrated after weeks or months of no results and wonder where they went wrong.
            Well, the good news is that I've spent over a decade researching this topic, analyzing the science, and applying it "in the trenches" with myself as well as thousands of my clients from all over the world to see what works to really stimulate abdominal fat loss.

            The entire solution... all of the nutritional strategies, as well as training sequences, exercise combinations, and more have all been compiled in my Truth About Six Pack Abs Program.
            Keep in mind that the point of this whole program is NOT abdominal exercises (that is only a very small portion of it). The main point of this program is showing you the absolute most effective strategies for losing your stubborn abdominal fat, so you can get rid of that dangerous health risk, as well as get a flatter more defined midsection.

            If you follow the guidelines, you WILL lose your belly fat that has been plaguing you for years. This is not guesswork... it is a proven system that works time and time again for all of my clients on every corner of the globe that actually apply the information I teach. If you apply it, the results will come. It's really that simple.

            The only reason most people fail in their fitness goals is that they have good intentions at first to adopt a new lifestyle, yet after a few weeks or months, they abandon their good intentions and slip right back into their old bad habits that gave them the excess body fat in the first place.

            I want to help you succeed in finally getting rid of that extra abdominal fat that is not only UGLY, but also DANGEROUS.

            Don't waste another day allowing that nasty abdominal fat to kill your confidence as well as contribute to your risk for MAJOR diseases.

            Get the solution to rid yourself for life of this problem at...
            Train hard, eat right, and enjoy life!

            Do Not Eat Less And Exercise More!

            We all believe that if we want to lose weight fast then we should eat less foods and focus on exercising more. However, It is actually a misconception. It is a wrong practice if anybody is trying such regime. Why we do not eat less and exercise more? I explain you, for example, if you spent 5000 thousand dollars on a credit card, it means you credit 5000 thousand dollars deficit and you have to pay that amount. The same thing is with your body. So, if you are eating less and exercising more then you are clearly creating calorie deficit for your body. We think that we need to exercise more to burn fat fast but problem is that our nervous system needs glucose to provide energy (ATP) for our body. So, when you create calorie deficit, your body holds fat because it thinks when it is on starvation mode, it will start burning lean body mass. That is why, eating less and exercising more is not a solution for weight loss.


            Researchers has already proved that eating less and doing exercise more is hardly fruitful for you. It might help you for a short term results but it simply does not work for long term weight loss. If you are eating less calories and doing intensive exercises then you are clearly triggering your fat cells to soak up calories but since you are not eating enough calories and nutrients to provide the energy that your body need therefore the brain recognizes this discrepancy and triggers a hunger response that also slows our metabolism and you know that slow metabolism does not help in weight loss.

            So, The correct path to lose fat is that you should intake sufficient amount of calories and focus on the quality of food that you consume. You need to have a balanced and healthy diet. You should eat whenever you feel hungry so that your body's metabolism can work perfectly and you can lose weight easily.

            I love this exercise because it highly affects abdominal muscles and tone up belly. To perform this exercise, you need to take a chair and sit on that chair and grip the handholds and keep your body straight. Press your body against the pad of chair and contract the abs to raise the legs and lift the knees towards your chest. Keep in mind that you need not to arch the back or swing the legs up. 
            In upward phase, bring your legs close to your abdominal and breath out while raising your legs. Keep abdominal contracted throughout the movement.
            In downward phase, slowly lower your legs back in downward motion and descend until your legs are completely retracted.
            Repeat this 10 to 15 times in a 3-4 sets.

            4 Alternate Heel Touches


            It is one of great flat stomach workouts. To perform this, lay down on your back on the ground with your knees bent. Place your feet flat and widen then slightly more than than your shoulder-apart-width. Extend your arms towards the downward direction by the side of the body with your palms facing inwards. While exhaling your breath, crunch your abs in the forward right direction. Try to catch your right ankle with the right extended arm. Stay there till the count of one. Now while you are inhaling your breath, leave the right ankle you caught hold of with your right arm and very slowly move back to the starting position. Repeat the same for the left side. Your one rep is complete when you have completed both sides,
            Perform 20 to 30 reps in 3 to 4 sets.

            5 Long Arm Crunch


            It is one of the good work outs to reduce belly fat. To perform this work out, Lie down on the ground and extend your arms past the top of your head so that your arms are near your ears. With arms extended, curl your torso to crunch the abs. If done correctly, your shoulders should come a few inches off the mat as you crunch. Try to hold the crunch position for 2 to 3 seconds and come to start position.Be sure to exhale as you crunch.
            You can take 20 to 30 reps in 1 set and perform at least 2 to 3 sets.

            6 Reverse Crunch

            It is quite effective abdominal exercise that helps in losing belly fat. To do this work out, lie flat on the floor. Place hands on floor under your hips/butt and bring knees up toward chest until feet are flat on floor. While keeping knees in bent position, contract abdominal and bring knees toward chest. Continue contracting abdominal and bring knees as close as comfortably possible to your chest. Your hips may rise off your hands. Pause at the end of the contraction, and slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position. Be sure to exhale as you bring your knees to your chest, and inhale as you lower yourself back down.
            Perform 20 to 30 reps in one set and do 3 to 4 sets in total.

            7 Dynamic Side Bridge


            This work out is really great to target oblique muscles which occupy the side of midsection. To begin, lie on one side with the legs straight. The elbow should be used to support the upper body. Keep the elbow directly beneath the shoulder. The other hand can rest on the hip or waist area. Next, lift the hips off the ground until the body is perfectly straight. Slowly lower the hips, tap the ground, and repeat the exercise. Never let the hips rotate forward during the side bridge. The body should be perfectly aligned at all times.
            Perform as much reps as you can do in one set and do 2 to 3 sets.

            I believe that if you try these abs workout, it will highly affect on your belly fat and you can achieve a flat tummy.  Moreover, you need not any equipment for these work outs and can perform these ab exercises at home.

            Leptin: Secret Of Female Weight Loss

            Yes, you read it correct!. The secret of  female weight loss is revealed now. Science has discovered a new hormone that controls 100% of your body's ability to burn fat. This hormone is known as "Leptin". Let me explain! The hormone regulates body fat. The higher level of "Leptin" means fast metabolism and the low level of  "Leptin" means slow metabolism. Women would be surprised to know that women contain twice as much "Leptin" in comparison to men but still, why many weight loss programs for women get failed and they need to struggle so much to lose weight?  The reasons are following:

            1. Women are less receptive for Leptin to lose weight. This means that they have a lot more Leptin but they are unable to use it for weight loss. This condition is called "Leptin Resistance".

            2. Most of women like dieting to lose weight. But, do you know? Dieting drops the Leptin level and hence it slows down the metabolism.

            There are so many people who are using Leptin Supplements. Does it work for a long run? The answer is clearly "No".  Leptin is one of the effective fat burning hormones so it works as natural fat burners. When Leptin is released from your fat, it enters in your blood and travels up to your brain, your brain tells your body how fast your body can run metabolism. Actually, Leptin is a cell signaling hormone that helps in appetite regulation, food intake and weight loss. When it is present in high levels in our body, It gives a signal to our brain that we are full and stop eating. When it is low, we feel hungry and crave food.

            Leptin is produced by our fat. This means that more fat you have, the greater the amount of Leptin you have. So when you lose a lot of weight quickly, your Leptin level plummet. Consequently, you feel starvation, your thyroid decreases output and your metabolic rate drops.

            If you are willing to fast weight loss then you should start diet that works. Diet plans help ease your
            body to lower daily Leptin levels without making your body feel too starved.

            One more thing that really works on your Leptin level is sleeping well. When you go to sleep, your Leptin levels naturally rise. Research has found that shorter sleep periods (6 hours or less instead of 8) lower overall daily Leptin levels, cause an increase in appetite, and even make people crave carbs and other fattening foods. So its important for your body to rest well to maintain its natural hormonal balance, allowing you to look and feel your best.

            Why women gain weight easily?

            Today, One of biggest monster for women is their increasing weight. They are quite upset and keep trying to lose weight. But none of us bother to find the reason why they gain weight so quickly in comparison to men. There are several reasons why a women gain weight:

             Women gain weight during pregnancy because they required to consume too many calories however many women overeat and gain more weight. 

            Every women have a menopause cycle, they undergo so many hormonal changes which increase appetite and it can lead weight gain.

            Studies reveal that "not eating enough" is also a big reason of weight gain because if we do not consume sufficient amount of foods, it slows down our metabolism and body start storing fat.

            There are so many females who are on dieting, use packaged foods with low fat. But reality is that these these low-fat foods often contain as many calories as normal food items.

            Most of women do not consume sufficient amount of fiber which is essential to losing and maintaining a healthy weight.

            Stress and family issues also change normal lifestyle which causes weight gain.
            Most of women are busy working day and night and do not take enough sleep. Not taking enough sleep changes body function and it starts gaining fat.

            Birth control pills are also a very strong reason for weight gain.

            Apart from these, there are several other things such as disease and illness, unhealthy food, not having enough which causes weight gain.
