What is Ayurveda? Lessons From A 5,000 Year-Old Health-Care Practice

Ayurveda, contrary to what you might believe from its recent press and well-known adherents, is not the latest fad diet or celebrity trend. It’s actually the oldest continuously practiced health-care system in the world. Originating in India, more than 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda is built upon an understanding that all natural beings, including humans, live by the same laws and rhythms. It seeks to understand our deepest connections to the whole universe and how the universe’s energies influence our health.
The Ayurvedic worldview is based on five elements: space, air, fire, water, and earth. Space and earth are static; air, fire and water are dynamic or always changing. Each element has specific energies that govern its functions. While we all have each of these elements in us, we have them in slightly different proportions, making each of us unique inside and out.

What is Ayurveda? Lessons From A 5,000 Year-Old Health-Care Practice

While it might sound hippy-dippy or very Hollywood to those of us who’ve grown-up with Westernized medicine, there is a lot we can learn from the Ayurvedic approach to health and wellness. One of its most important lessons is about balance. Ayurveda believes that when the natural laws associated with our elemental make-up are ignored imbalances appear. These imbalances are the precursor to disharmony and disease in the mind and body.
An example that the non-hippy-dippy among us can relate to is sugar consumption. We know that sugar causes inflammation and that inflammation is one of the leading causes of disease, yet many of us choose to ignore this “rule” and eat far more sugar than is good for our health. The imbalance in our bodies caused by our excessive sugar intake manifests itself in symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, skin problems, on-going pain, constipation, diarrhea, weight gain, intolerances to food and other things in nature, depression and high blood pressure to name just a few.
Yet rather than look at our mental, emotional and physical health problems as a sign that our body is not in a state of equilibrium we tend to just treat the symptoms associated with these issues, not the underlying imbalance. As one problem is treated another one appears as the body tries to communicate the real problem at hand. The cycle continues until the root cause is finally uncovered, usually after we’ve been diagnosed with a chronic illness.
By taking into account each of our unique psychological, emotional, and physical conditions, as well as our environments (for example, maybe your office is a high stress workplace), Ayurveda teaches us to recognize the signs that the elements in our body are out-of-balance. It offers guidance on how to heal our imbalances and strengthen the body, mind and spirit. Its goal is to help us achieve greater wellness and maintain better health through prevention.
Ayurveda encourages us to see the interactions and connections between our body and environmental systems. It pushes us to think holistically. It may sound flowery and Age-of-Aquarius-ish, but its core lessons are relevant to anyone seeking better health and vitality.

8 vegetables you should be eating to boost your disease-fighting potential

Tomatoes    -   Tomato contains amazing amounts of lycopene which is said to have anti oxidant properties. Studies have shown that tomato can reduce prostate cancer especially in synergy with broccoli. A study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute suggested that ‘the intake of tomatoes and tomato products is associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer. This benefit may be related to the antioxidant properties of lycopene, but other potential mechanisms and other beneficial tomato-based components instead of or combined with lycopene cannot be excluded’.

Broccoli - Broccoli contains a substantial amount of nutrients that are extremely good for health including vitamins A, C, folic acid, fiber and calcium. Broccoli contains an unusual combination of three phytonutrients, glucoraphanin, gluconasturtiian, and glucobrassicin. Together these nutrients have a strong impact on our body’s detoxification system. Eating raw broccoli is the best way to get all its offered nutrients.

Brussels sprouts –  Brussels sprouts are very high in fiber, and they belong to the disease-fighting cabbage family. Indeed, they look like miniature cabbages. Like broccoli and cabbage — fellow cruciferous vegetables — Brussels sprouts may protect against cancer with their indole, a phytochemical. These little green veggies are especially important for pregnant woman because they’re packed with folic acid, a B-vitamin that prevents neural tube defects. Brussels sprouts are also packed with vitamins C and K as well as fiber, potassium and omega-3 fatty acids.

Carrots  - These orange-wonders are loaded with eye, skin and hair-enriching nutrients. They’re also the richest vegetable source of some important antioxidants, like vitamin A. And because they’re rich in vitamin C, carrots protect your cardiovascular system from damage. Along with 400% of your daily vitamin A, a serving of carrots will provide vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, C, E and K, and plenty of fiber, manganese and potassium. Organic carrots have a little bit of everything.

Sweet potato - Sweet potatoes are absolutely loaded with nutrition and considered to be one of nature’s most perfect vegetables. Packed with beta carotene and vitamin A, one serving of sweet potatoes provides more beta carotene than 23 cups of broccoli. One daily serving of sweet potatoes per day can greatly reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, and even cancer.

Eggplant  - Eggplants high amount of phytonutrients has the ability to protect brain cell membranes from free radical cells from damaging them. The high amount of B complex vitamins in eggplant also has the ability to keep us thinking clearly and prevent stress. The antioxidants in eggplant even have the ability to prevent brain tumors and cancer from forming by attacking the free radicals that cause tumors cancers.

Spinach - Spinach is a nutrition superstar, even a fairly good source of iron. It’s loaded with vitamins and minerals, some of which are hard to find in other foods.

Onions - Onions are a very good source of vitamin C, B6, biotin, chromium, calcium and dietary fibre. In addition, they contain good amounts of folic acid and vitamin B1 and K. A 100 gram serving provides 44 calories, mostly as complex carbohydrate, with 1.4 grams of fibre. Onions contain a large amount of sulfur and are especially good for the liver. As a sulfur food, they mix best with proteins, as they stimulate the action of the amino acids to the brain and nervous system.

4 Factors To Set You Up For Optimal Health

As human beings, our bodies are all incredibly unique and therefore there are different things that we each must do in order to improve the quality of our own health. However, here are four key factors that I believe can set anyone up for success in improving their health.

OPTIMAL HEALTH IS A 360 EXPERIENCE

Most people out there focus on only two things when it comes to good health: exercise and diet. And there are even those that just focus on one or the other. The truth is that health is a synergistic relationship between many areas of our lives such as relationships, career, spirituality, nutrition and exercise.

Our main goal is to maintain balance within all of these areas. When one area is lacking, it’s kind of like a domino effect, which throws off the other areas. We often don’t even realize it’s happening. If you’re stressed out from a job you hate, no matter how healthy you eat or how much you exercise, most likely you won’t be feeling as happy or as healthy as you would like. If you’re in a bad relationship, whether it’s with a boyfriend or a friend, that added stress is going to affect other areas of your life as well, preventing you from being your authentic, joyful self. It’s so important to start addressing each area of your life and see where you can start creating more balance.

TRUST YOUR BODY…IT WILL LISTEN TO YOU

The reason that we often have such strong cravings for food that isn’t so good for us is because we’ve starved our bodies of the nutrients it actually needs and replaced them with addicting substances that makes us want more of the bad stuff. Think about how much more you tend to eat if you have a burger and fries and how much more controlled your appetite is with a healthy salad. Trans fats, MSG, and sugar are just a few of the substances that we put into our bodies that have damaging effects on our health and even a drug-like effect on our minds that make us feel “addicted” to foods containing them. This is especially true for sugar.

But there is some good news here. If you slowly start to introduce healthier foods into your diet, even without changing your current diet too much to begin with, you’ll see that in time you will begin craving those healthier options. This is not an addiction but rather that your body will finally be getting the fuel and nutrients it needs to perform daily functions and will begin sending you signals to give it more of the good stuff! You won’t always be thinking “if it tastes good, then it must be bad for you.” Good nutritious food will begin to taste just as delicious!

CHANGE DOESN’T HAVE TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT

This is probably the most important concept to learn when going on a journey to improve your health. You have to be realistic about time and your expectations. I personally find this comforting because when you set time restrictions that are too tight and you fall off, you’re more likely to get down on yourself. The truth is you very will could have ups and downs in your journey, but as long as you get back up you will see changes.

Now, you can go on a crash diet and lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks, but what’s going to happen after those 2 weeks? You’re more likely to put all that weight and then some back on. This is why diets don’t work. And oftentimes the methods by which they operate are harming your health at the cost of you losing a few pounds.

Optimal health is a journey. That is how I work with my clients in my 3-month Body & Soul Reset program. It’s about looking at our whole life, as mentioned in the beginning of this article, and making gradual changes that stick. These changes will become habits and before you know it you will be leading a healthy lifestyle and not going on crash diets all the time and repeatedly getting frustrated with chronic illnesses that have you running to the doctor every month.

And did I mention you will feel AMAZING!

THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS

The power of the mind is incredible. We can achieve so much just by thinking a certain way. I truly do believe that the more positive vibes you put out there, the more positivity you will attract. I have experienced this personally in my own life and have seen how this concept has worked for so many other people as well. Believe you can and you will! No matter who tries to get you down, or what discouraging thoughts may come into your mind, fight them off with loads of self love and positivity. Your mind and body will thank you for it. Positivity has a tremendous impact on our health and achieving whatever goals we’ve set for ourselves.

I find a great way to stay in this frame of mind is to find a quote or mantra that speaks to you. I love quotes and I post them everywhere…at my work desk, on my iPhone wallpaper, and even around my apartment. There are so many situations and people that can get us down and it’s our job to stay strong and keep going. The way we react to situations is totally in our control so having a some encouraging words around you to remind you that you are strong, amazing and capable is a great way to keep you from falling off track. Whether it’s quotes or meditating or something else, find what works for you.

23 Reasons Bitter Gourd Is Sweet Medicine For Your Health.

Alleviate mid back discomfort by elongating the spine. 1 posture. 1 minute.

Increasing the mobility in your thoracic spine can do wonders on how the rest of your spine and body moves. Built for mobility the thoracic spine is often placed and sadly forced to conform into a restricted or non mobile state.

The benefits in improving the mobility of the thoracic spine include…

1. Decrease in Kyphosis – this is the term used to describe an increased mid back curvature. Also known as hunchback or rounded back. With each degree the spine curves forward the cervical spine (neck) accommodates and further shifts forward as well.

2. Increased lung capacity

3. Better range of motion in the shoulders because the scapulae (shoulder blades) are moving properly

4. Reduced strain placed on the lower back to compensate for the lack of movement in the thoracic spine.

5. Greater output in movements that require rotation like swinging a bat or throwing a punch.

This specific spinal posture will target the T8/T9 segment.  I know I’ve discussed the entire t-spine but choosing this particular segment has its benefits. Click on the video below for a demonstration on how to execute this longitudinal osteo-articular decoaptation stretch.

It’s High Time You Rewarded The Most Hardworking Cleaners That Keep You Alive: Your Kidneys.

The kidneys are a pair of super vital, fist sized organs; each located either side of the spine, in the back of the abdomen, and just below the rib cage. Our kidneys determine the quality of health in a major way by being active filters mopping toxins from our blood, maintaining the right water balance, and stabilizing critical mineral saturation in our blood.

How do they do it?

Wastes in the blood come from the normal breakdown of active tissues, such as muscles, and from food. After the body has taken what it needs from food, wastes are sent to the blood. If the kidneys did not remove them, these wastes would stay in the blood and re-circulate in the entire body, increasing the toxicity and damaging vital organs.

Am I at risk?

Kidney disease accounts for 26 million chronic kidney disease (CKD) adult cases, in the United States alone. People suffering from diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and those who are older than 60 years old are more prone to this dilapidating disease. A family history of kidney disease can also put you at risk. Suffering from other ailments like Obesity, autoimmune diseases, and urinary tract infections also enhance your risk of developing kidney disease.

Healthy ways to say “Thank You”:

Apart from maintaining your weight, regularly monitoring your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose level, and exercising regularly, taking the effort to change to healthy dietary habits would improve your chances to stave off renal problems. Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and low in salt or oxalate-rich food, can help prevent abnormal mineral build up. Additionally, drinking lots of water throughout the day, especially if you exercise frequently, is important for kidney health.

Five preventive tips for breast cancer risk

The following are the top five preventive tips for breast cancer risk. By adopting these, you can ward off breast cancer.

1. Uphold a sturdy weight and keep yourself in good shape.

Try your level best to be physically active. Either walk or indulge in some aerobic exercise for three to five hours per week so as to snip your liability of breast cancer because physical activity curtails the levels of estrogens———the female sex hormones that incite cancer.Moreover,perpetual breath work and down reaching  realization of the body as in yoga meditation are all efficient in averting breast cancer. Moreover, endeavor to acquire a minimum of fifteen minutes of sunshine each day or consume 1000 mg of Vitamin D if you cannot acquire sunshine. The former and the latter diminish the hazard of breast cancer to a great extent. Exercise is another tool that you will find very useful in your fight against breast cancer.

2. Eat a healthy diet comprising the following:

• Fresh fruits
•  Fresh vegetables specially cauliflower, broccoli, kale, collards, turnips etc because all    these are rich in indole——————a medley that holds back the cancers.
• Whole grains and beans especially soy beans
• Use walnuts, cashew nuts,almond,hazel nuts etc as tidbits
• Stay away from foods that increase the levels of bad cholesterol in your blood.
• Don’t smoke tobacco; it is associated with cancer of the mouth, lungs. Even if you don’t smoke, try to avoid passive smoking.
• Avoid liquor intake or do so in moderation
• Desist from consuming foods that have chemicals and preservatives in them
•  Limit fat. Eat lighter and leaner by choosing fewer high-fat foods, particularly those from animal sources. High-fat diets tend to be higher in calories and might increase the risk of overweight or obesity — which can, in turn, increase cancer risk.
• If you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. The risk of various types of cancer — including cancer of the breast, colon, lung, kidney and liver — increases with the amount of alcohol you drink and the length of time you’ve been drinking regularly.

It is prudent to review both the breasts at the corresponding time every month, so that it not difficult to locate any changes in the configuration, hue or consistency of the breast.
