Fat loss vs Weight loss

Tags , , , Categories Advice, Exercise, Fitness, Health, Info., Wellness Posted on Leave a comment

Health is the greatest gift and contentment is the greatest Wealth. Being obese comes with its own set of problems. It brings so many related health issues and has a major impact on lowering our confidence.

Trying to be slim and healthy can be a long and tough journey which requires a lot of effort, but shouldn’t we make sure we’re putting this effort in the right direction?

weight loss vs fat loss

There is a vast difference between fat loss and weight loss but not many of us know this. A few simple differences and it’s effects on our body are :

  • Body : Weight loss is a reduction in weight which includes fat, weight and water whereas fat loss focuses on losing only the fat content in the body.

  • Health : Weight loss can make our body weak as a we lose larger part of the important components whereas fat loss helps us burn the fat which results in increased stamina and energy.

  • Food : Reduction in diet and exercising can help us lose weight but fat loss requires a proper, balanced diet with regular exercising.

When we merely try to lose weight, we tend to reduce our food intake. This can harm our body, lead to weakness and sickness as our immunity system loses strength.

Fat loss mainly focuses on losing the unnecessary and excess fat from your body resulting in strengthening the muscles with regular exercising.

We must make sure we are benefiting from the efforts and hard work we put in towards making our body and health better by knowing and doing the exercises and diet in the right way.

Tags , , , Categories Advice, Info., Meditation, Motivation, Tips, Wellness Posted on Leave a comment

All of us have dreams and goals planned in life and everyday is a step we take towards making them work. Having goals in life gives us a purpose to strive each day.

A healthy body and a sound mind are two great assets in our journey. They help us to undertake new activities and succeed. Success isn’t an overnight result, most of us fail several times in our journey. What matters is how we react after a failure. It’s very easy to quit and sit back, but we need to fight back even more strongly.

Motivation gives us the push we need in life, to achieve our goals. Self-motivation is one of the best examples of self-love. We need to take care of our mental and physical health and indulge in activities that boost our confidence.

Some simple ways to motivate yourself :

  • Think positive

  • Write down your goals

  • Plan and make steps to achieve them

  • Have an inspiration

  • Talk to optimistic people

  • Make positive notes or reminders

love your self first!!!

I’d like to share some of the most inspiring, thought provoking and uplifting thoughts from the past years on getting to know yourself, raising your self-esteem and finding a self-love.

  2. “Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it. ”
    – M. Scott Peck
  3. “A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.”

  4. “Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself.”
    – Harvey Fierstein
  5. “Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.”
    – Lucille Ball

A good night’s rest

Tags , Categories Advice, Info., Sleep, Stress Management, Tips, Wellness Posted on Leave a comment

“ Sleep is the best meditation.”

In a day, we are involved in so many activities. Working, thinking, analysing, studying and so many others. We are energetic and active in the morning but as the day goes by, our energy levels reduce.

When our mind and body are involved and occupied throughout the day, we need to give it rest and relaxation. Study shows that when we’re asleep, our body registers all the activities of the day and helps us remember it.

Overworking and stressing our body and mind, and not giving it sufficient resting time can lead to several disorders and have a major impact on our stress levels. Health, mental balance and even our mood swings are effected and cause our life to go off track.

Some benefits of a regular cycle of sleep are:

  • Reduces stress levels
  • Maintains hormonal balance
  • Improves health conditions
  • Enhances productivity
  • Increases energy levels

A sound and sufficient sleep keeps our health and daily routine on track that will help us improve and maintain our lifestyle. Some basics or tips to remember for a sound sleep :

Maintain a fixed Time: Our body gets accustomed to our habits very quickly. So it’s important we have a fixed time to sleep and wake up everyday.

Read a book : Reading a page or two during bedtime can significantly reduce your stress levels and blood pressure.

Avoid gadgets : Prolonged use of gadgets effects our sleep pattern. It tricks our body into thinking it is energised making it difficult to fall asleep.

Give your body the rest it deserves everyday and watch your efficiency and productivity grow drastically. A simple solution to most of your problems – a sound and peaceful sleep.

The Ancient Cure : Acupuncture

Tags , , , , , , Categories Acupuncture, Advice, Sleep, Stress Management, Wellness Posted on Leave a comment

What Is Acupuncture?

Contrary to popular Western belief, acupuncture is not just a system for inserting very fine needles into specific body locations to alleviate pain. So, what is acupuncture, then?

From its inception in China more than 2,500 years ago. It has been used traditionally to prevent, diagnose and treat disease, as well as to improve general health.

The traditional explanation for acupuncture’s effectiveness is that it modifies the flow of energy (known as qi or chi) throughout the body. In fact, much research in the West has focused on this pain-relieving effect, rather than acupuncture’s traditional role of balancing energy to address a wide range of disorders, and the more subtle mechanisms that may be responsible for its overall benefits to health.

How do we do acupuncture???

Understand the anatomy and physiology of the “acupuncture points,” the definition and characterization of these points remains controversial. Even more elusive is the scientific basis of some of the key traditional. Eastern medical concepts such as the circulation of Qi the meridian system. which are difficult to reconcile with contemporary biomedical information. But continue to play an important role in the evaluation of patients and the formulation of treatment in acupuncture.

We have lot of clients who comes here specifically for sessions. We treated patients with migraine, asthma,  back pain, neck pain, gastric ailments, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

There will b a course of treatment and it differs from person to person, condition and severity of cases. In certain conditions, we use cupping method(dry) and electro acupuncture. This we decide after seeing and studying the case and condition.

The mechanism Is same only and the aim is to increase blood circulation, to stimulate the nerve endings of  the target tissue. There will be occasional dull ache at the point that then subsides.

Time duration of acupuncture is 5 to 30 min.

11 Best Tips – To live Stress Free through out the year

Tags , , , , , , Categories Advice, Diet, Info., Stress Management, Tips Posted on Leave a comment

In today’s world it’s all too easy to get distracted from what’s truly important. Wherever you go, and whatever you do, you see messages designed to get you to perform a specific action and distract you from the fact that you are already whole.

There are no reminders to be mindful unless we create them.

The responsibility is in your hands. Staying in the present moment can dramatically reduce stress, increase your happiness, and give you bursts of insight that might change your life.

Here are a few down-to-earth tips on how to become more mindful:

1. HAVING POOR EATING AND DIETING HABITS

Not feeling comfortable in your own skin is probably one of the worst — if not the worst — feelings a person can experience.

Poor diet - akhilasoukhya

Unfortunately, instead of making the changes to alter this predicament, people sadly accept it and think that’s just the way their lives have to be.

The sooner you realize this does not have to be your lifestyle, the happier and more comfortable you will be.

2. OVER ANALYZING SITUATIONS THAT HAVEN’T EVEN HAPPENED

It’s human nature to stress about things that have yet to happen, but when you think about it rationally, what’s the point? You can’t predict the future, and you certainly can’t change something that has not even happened yet.

Deal with the situation as it comes, and react accordingly. It’s the only way to mold the experience to your benefit.

3. WORRYING ABOUT YOUR APPEARANCE TO THE POINT OF EXHAUSTION

I get it. You want to look your best. Honestly, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t matter if you wear your hair curly or straight. There’s no reason to try on every single outfit in your closet before going out.

Think about it: You bought these items for a reason… put something on, smile at yourself in the mirror and be on your way. You have better things to concern yourself with, or at least you should.

4. NOT LIVING IN THE MOMENT

This goes hand-in-hand with overanalyzing situations that have yet to happen, but this includes your past mistakes and situations that have already come and gone as well.

The only thing you can gain from the past are the lessons it taught you. No good can come from replaying situations you cannot hope to fix. Make peace with them and move on… because who you were then is definitely not who you are now.

5. SURROUNDING YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO DON’T MAKE YOU HAPPY

SURROUNDING YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO DON'T MAKE YOU HAPPY

Why people still hang around others out of obligation is utterly beyond me. Learn to accept that, sometimes, people from your past serve little to no role in your present. In actuality, they bring stress and drama into your life because you feel as if it is your responsibility to deal with their issues.

Their problems are their own, and as you grow up, this is something that becomes more and more apparent.

6. FOCUSING ON WHAT YOU DON’T HAVE INSTEAD OF WHAT YOU DO HAVE

Do you know how many people would be over the moon with their lives if they had what you had? I’m not talking about material things either — although they do fit in this category.

Surrounding yourself with great friends who care about you and a family who loves you are two of the most amazing things to have in your life. So stop worrying if you have the latest trendy item and appreciate the intangible items all around you.

7. HOLDING ON TO GRUDGES AND ANGER

You know who suffers from holding on to anger? You do.

When people hold on to bitterness and grudges, they falsely believe that they are making the other person suffer. In reality, the object of your anger disregarded your feelings in the first place, and isn’t losing sleep over your lingering distaste.

What makes you think this person is dwelling on the situation? Even if someone has not given you the apology you rightfully deserve, just let it go.

The sooner you stop caring, the better off you will be.

8. LIVING TOO MUCH IN YOUR PAST

Your past is… your past. It happened. Learn from it and let it be. There is nothing you can do to change it, so the sooner you accept it for what it was, the quicker you will be able to make peace with it.

Stop holding people to standards that you created in your mind years ago. Take people for who they are and what they have to offer now. You will be pleasantly surprised to see how much people can change and mature over the years.

9. …ACTUALLY, JUST COMPLAINING

Can everyone just stop complaining altogether? How much more positive would your life be if you stopped looking at the world as a glass half empty?

The only thing that complaining does is bring negative energy into your life, and, honestly, who the hell wants a life full of that?

10. LIVING THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES

Whether it’s reality television or social media, living your life through other people’s experiences is nothing to be desired. Instead of lounging around, longing for a life of fun and travel, go out there and make this reality your own.

11. TRYING HARD TO BE SOMEONE ELSE INSTEAD OF EMBRACING YOUR ACTUAL SELF

Instead of focusing your time, effort and attention on other people’s lives, take that time and focus on your own. Concentrate on making yourself better instead of comparing yourself to someone else.

You will never be that person, no matter how hard you try. Reflect on your life and your decisions and figure out a way to be the best possible version of yourself you can be.

HOW TO STAY HEALTHY IN THE NEW YEAR – 2019 TIPS

Tags , , , , , Categories Advice, Diet, Exercise, Health, Info., Sleep, Stress Management, summer, Tips, Wellness Posted on Leave a comment

Let’s resolute to make 2019 the beginning of a healthy journey. Whatever your New Year resolution affect our body’s ability to fight infections and diseases.

For the body to function in a healthy manner these 4 are highly needed i.e, Diet, Sleep, Meditation and Exercise.

Most of us have a misconception about what to eat or what to eat less, diet is all about learning what to eat and when to eat.

Proper rest ensures our body and mind are repaired duly after hectic work and make us ready for energising next day. Like any mechanical engine, our bodies are meant to move – this reduces risk of heart diseases, cancer, high blood pressure, etc. Meditation is the way of controlling our own mind and consequently finding inner peace which is the main purpose of life.

The 4 Main Requirements:

1) Sleep:

Irregular or no sleep can affect stress hormones, growth, appetite, blood pressure and
cardiovascular health. Research shows that lack of sleep increase risk of obesity, heart risks and
infections. Hormones are released by the body during sleep that help repair cells and control body’s
use of energy. Lack of sleep makes us prone to more physical injuries and makes our body fatigue.

“Your Future depends on your Dreams, so got to Sleep”

  •  Stick to a particular sleep schedule with same sleep and wake time. This helps to regulate
    your body’s clock and could help you fall asleep.
  • Avoid having afternoon naps because these can affect your sleep at night.
  • Sleep on comfortable mattresses and pillows, using uncomfortable mattresses can cause
    neck pain and hinder with your sleep.

2) Exercise:

Exercising for at least half an hour a day can help your body. Exercise strengthens your heart and improves circulation, the increased blood flow raises the oxygen levels in our body and hence reduces risk of heart diseases such as high cholesterol, coronary artery disease, heart attacks, etc. Regular exercise can also lower blood pressure and triglyceride level which are harmful fats.

“Excuses Don’t burn Calories”

  • Exercise has been shown to improve your mood and decrease feelings of depression, anxiety and stress.
  • Jogging or Running can help your brain Health and Memory. It is good for muscles, bones and skin.

3) Diet:

akhilasoukhya diet

Eating a diet rich in some vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet can protect us from many diseases. . A healthy diet rich in Vitamins, Minerals and low-fat dairy can help to reduce your risk of heart disease by maintaining blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

  • Controls Anxiety. Less stress translates to less anxiety.
  • Yoga therapy is known to cure asthma and not just manage it. In particular, it lessens the
    allergic reaction in your lungs.

Healthy Food Tips For a Fresh New year:

Try Variety of Food: Eating the same fruits day in and out will lead to hypervitaminosis which can
affect the body. Our bodies are incredibly complex, and no single food contains all the nutrients we
need for them to work at their best. Our diets must therefore contain a wide variety of fresh and
nutritious foods to keep us going strong.

Eat a mix of staple food: Wheat, rice, maize with legumes like lentils and beans with plenty of other
fresh vegetables.
Improve on your diary and meat content: These are vital sources of Calcium and Iron.

Say NO to Salt: Too much salt can raise blood pressure, which is a leading risk factor for heart
disease and stroke.

Avoid snacks: These contain harmful salts which can cause many health problems.
Cut down on Oils and Fats: Too much of anything is harmful and this goes to fats as well. Industrially-produced trans-fats are the most hazardous for health. A diet
high in this kind of fat has been found to raise risk of heart disease by nearly 30%.

Try steaming: Or boiling instead of frying food when cooking to reduce fat intake.
Choose white meat: These include poultry and fish which are generally lower in fats meats.

Sugar Intake: Too much sugar is not only bad for our teeth, but increases the risk of unhealthy
weight gain and obesity, which can lead to serious, chronic health problems.

Limit intake of sweets and sugary drinks: Fizzy drinks, fruit juices and juice drinks, flavoured water,
energy and sports drinks contain artificial sugars which can affect the body.

General Tips to Keep Body Healthy and Fit:

  • Exercising for 30mins a day can also help relax your muscles and give you good sleep.
  • Meditate for a period of time before sleeping, this enhances your sleep cycle.
  • Practising Yoga on daily basis can help keep the mind and body calm.
  • Yoga improves muscle strength and tone.
  • Meditating for 30 minutes can promote emotional health and generate kindness
  • Meditating strengthens the immune system
  • Exercising with friends Can Help Your Brain Health and Memory.

Tags , , , , , , , Categories Info., Wellness Posted on Leave a comment

Farmer’s Day or Kisan Diwas is being celebrated on 23rd December to commemorate the true bread givers of our country and to honour their hard work.

Farmer’s work on their fields all day to provide us with staple grains but still their hard work is going to vain as the society doesn’t  provide the support the farmer’s require like basic education, training in modern farming methods, loans, etc. which results in the loss of many farmers. Many farmers commit suicide due to debts and bad irrigation services, in addition the market has gone down due to imports from foreign countries.

Importance of the Grains Grown:

FOOD CROPS:

Food crops are those crops which is consumed by our body and these include Rice, Wheat, Maize, Millet, Pulses.

Rice and Pulses give energy and are gluten free with high nutritional value whole Wheat, Maize and Millets are rich in fibres and minerals like iron, magnesium to keep our body in optimal state.

CASH CROPS:

The growth of Cash Crops enables the farmers to gain more revenue, this also helps the growth of revenue.

PLANTATION CROPS:

India is a major exporter of Tea and Coffee, in addition it gives employment to many in such regions.

HORTICULTURE CROPS:

These comprise of Fruits and vegetables which is the main source of all our vitamins and minerals. Different crops are grown in different climatic seasons based on the amount of water and sunlight they require.

Why 23rd December is National Farmer’s Day?


23rd December is the birthday of Indian Farmer’s Leader late Chaudhary Charan Singh and marks the seasonal change as well as the harvest time for the farmers. Post-harvest their produce is sent to the market where it is sold to many households across the country.

How we can make a difference in Farmers Lives:

The growth of urbanization has lead us to alter our lifestyle to a less healthy one, for instance the consumption of fast foods, products from malls and supermarkets where fruits and vegetables are sold which are sprayed with harmful pesticides to fasten their growth rate. This greatly effects the body and can lead to many chronic diseases, on the other hand switching to organic fruits and vegetables can help are health and mostly the livelihood of the farmers.

Hence let’s all help improve the life of farmers who strive to give us healthy crops.
