From Water to Super-Water

In the age of modern medicines, where we run to medical stores to take a pill to cure even minor health issues, it's better to call up your mother or grandmother and ask what they would do in the same condition. This does not mean that you would not need to take any medicine but then medicine consumption would only provide temporary relief from the symptoms, rather than providing you with a long-term solution. The idea to prepare super-water is to extract important oils of the plant which have several healing properties into the water. Water is considered as a powerful therapeutic tool, whereas herbs & spices have been used for centuries to treat different health concerns by simple method - SOAKING. To prepare your super-water, you just have to soak some herbs in a jug full of water, leave it overnight, and drink it in the morning. You can also mix powdered herbs into the water and drink. CLOVE AND BLACK PEPPER WATER Clove contains eugenol that is known to promote digestion and...

HOW FAMILY PLAYS IMPORTANT ROLE IN MANAGING HEALTH AND DISEASES

If you have a loved one who is addicted to alcohol or know someone who is trying to quit smoking, what do you do? You probably would advise them to stay away from liquor, throw away cigarettes to help them get over this toxic addiction, right?  Similarly, when we have a family member who is diabetic or obese or suffering from any other co-morbid condition, should we not support them in adopting a healthy lifestyle?

Diabetes is a chronic illness requiring lifelong maintenance. A change in eating habits can be a challenge, so be a source of encouragement by meeting with their doctor and dietitian and learning the best diet strategies, and then helping them make better meal choices and doing it alongside them. It especially becomes difficult for women to manage home, children, work, and then plan and balance their meals.

If you eat unhealthy foods around people who need or want to adopt a healthier eating pattern, this makes it harder for them to stick to the plan. Limit your intake of sugary drinks, as well as highly processed and prepared foods, especially in their presence or rather avoid bringing anything like that home which they are not allowed to have. This will not only help your friend or relative manage their disease but will also improve your health.

Regular physical activity is also important as a healthy diet. Being active and losing weight can lower blood glucose. So offer to become workout buddies and get together a few times a week. This benefits both of you. You’ll have increased energy, less stress, and a lower risk of developing illnesses, including heart disease and cancer.

You may feel helpless when a loved one is diagnosed with some condition and think you cannot be of any help but trust me, your support can be their greatest strength and can help this person get through the toughest times.

So be positive, offer specific help and learn as much about the disease as possible. These efforts may seem insignificant from your vantage point, but they can make a huge difference in someone’s life.

You can’t remove the disease, but you can offer support, comfort, and kindness in a number of ways.

If 'Calories-In' and 'Calories-Out' is the answer, why is it so hard for people to lose weight?

So anyone can tell you that if you want to lose weight you need to eat less food and do more exercise.  This advice is quite right, based on the principle that the body responds to its energy balance. But, if the principle of energy balance is so simple, then why is it so hard for people to lose weight? Our genetic inheritance as well as our environment also influences this balance. All people are different. The genes that we inherit from our parents can affect how easily we gain or lose weight. Some people will move around more than others and use up more energy. Some people absorb their food a little more efficiently than others. Some people have a stronger craving for fatty, sweet foods than others. So even in places where conditions make it hard for someone to gain weight, you will see people of different size and shape due to these inherited differences. When we talk about our societies, food is now plentiful, affordable, and always all around us. Have a look at your local sup...

Mindful Eating : When Talking Talk, When Eating Eat!

If we're not paying attention when we're eating, that's going to make it very hard to eat healthily, isn't it? Perhaps eating too much because we're not listening to the body and noticing those feelings of fullness or satiety can lead to overeating. If you don't listen to your body, and your body cues like what cravings you might have, or what actually works with your lifestyle and with that comes a lot of burden of chronic diseases, which are most driven by a sedentary lifestyle and eating habits. Like, if you don't chew your food properly, it is not only bad for your dental health but also would lead to poor digestion and also poor absorption of vitamins and minerals in food. To bring some mindfulness into your eating, you might just start by paying more attention to your body specially while you eat, noticing if you're actually hungry or perhaps you're eating because you're stressed or emotional. And then when you're eating, bring your ful...
