Posted by Palila Jones at 12:41 AM 0 comments
Behold readers . . . ! For all this while we have been thinking, researching and finding solutions for a dreaded condition called weight gain. Gaining weight is perhaps the easiest thing to do in the present times. Look every where and people are trying to cover up paunches, sale of corsets have been increasing, gyms and health clubs are overcrowded and dieticians are up and ready with a no-carb diet plan for one and all. So much have we been involved with this side of the coin that any attempt of flipping the same coin and acknowledging the other side of the story has become practically impossible even to believe. The other side of the coin that is being spoken about refers to a condition that many believe to exist only in dreams . . . lets call it putting in additional effort to Gaining Weight intentionally!

No . . . the discussion is not about the Sumo wrestlers; we are plainly talking about those people who are too thin to show themselves in public, some of whom are as good as two dimensional and can pass unnoticed through a keyhole. If you have been thinking that being overweight is bad, think about those who are pasted on the wall when mistaken for posters. Their appeal for help is justified and must be addressed with urgency. On the more practical side, being too thin is also too dangerous as health consequences can be devastating. Being abnormally thin is more often than not, a sign of malnutrition. Ramp models can be held as examples. Other causes like different diseases and disorders can also cause this abnormality. The body of the affected reach a state when nothing that they eat contribute to adding weight to their structure. No amount of carbohydrate and fat seem to work with them. Even the weight gain supplements in the market that promise big muscles fade when produced before these people.

Gaining weight can be as difficult as loosing weight and requires patience and perseverance. The body has to be prepared to bring itself to proportion by accepting the carbohydrates and using them in the body accordingly. Yoga is one very good practice with which one can prepare one’s body to put on the additional pounds. Yoga for weight gain is a safer way to handle the situation as medication and chemical supplements can cause long term and hazardous side effects. As mentioned, yoga does not directly contribute to weight gain. The main aim of yoga is to correct any kind of irregularity in the body, over weight and under weight being a part of it. With regular practice of yoga, the physical irregularities seem to disappear. Therefore, if a person begins as underweight, he / she tends to gain normal body and weight proportions within due course of time. Postures like shirshasana, matsyasana, chakrasana, ardha chakrasana, shavavasana help in building better digestive system that aids in proper assimilation of food resulting in normalizing of weight.

Yoga and its effect on hypertension

Posted by Palila Jones at 4:44 AM 0 comments
I am a woman in my mid 50s, living in Delhi since my birth and by far I have had a normal life with the usual worries and anxieties. Though life has been a mixed bag I have always been very sensitive about everything in life. You can call be “the emotional sort”, who is affected by possibly everything in life. This has lead to a number of health problems that i have had face over the years. The most important of these problems is “hypertension”. This problem again is the main source for my other heath disorders. Over the years my panic stricken habit has only given impetus to the growth of this health problem.

About a year ago, when my son went for higher studies I was in a state of great discomfort both physically and mentally. The whole situation was unbearable for me. Though everyone tried to convince me, it became increasingly difficult to pacify my emotion. At last that night I felt a terrible pain in my heart. Doctors said I have had a heart attack. From then on I have been consulting doctors seeking advice. They have advised me to stay calm but I cannot. I felt that I had no control over my emotions. The situation had been a matter of concern for my whole family.

It was in such a time that one of my relatives told us that yoga is used for the treatment of hypertension. She told that there are yoga poses and also yoga for meditation that is often used to cure hypertension. This made me include yoga into my life. When I asked my trainer as to how yoga can treat hypertension, he said that hypertension is caused by the inappropriate functioning of the blood arteries and heart. These are basically controlled by the brain impulse and practicing yoga poses can result in calming of the brain.

Yoga for meditation is a great way of controlling stress and other mental disorder. It made me relaxes and more composed. For the first time in my whole life, I felt that I could control my emotions. I have me inner peace. It’s been a year I have been practicing yoga poses and trust me it helps.

Given a chance we all would love to get back all those days. No matter how bad we felt about finishing those lessons from history to trigonometry, biology to civics, at that time it seemed so much! Only studying was not enough, mom had said, it is important to do some else apart from studies may be taking lessons in music or gymnastics and swimming or art even. At the end of the day we were so drained and exhausted.

Now kids have an option to do away with all that tiredness and fatigue at the end of the day. Yoga for students is like a blessing. If all this while you were thinking that yoga was only meant for you to get a slim waist and stunning body, you are in for a surprise. Now many schools have introduced these yoga sessions in school itself to help students make the most out of it. A forty five minute session in school is enough for your kid. Meditation and easy yoga poses and yoga postures are taught to the students. Different fun ways are used to keep them interested and they don’t feel it is something monotonous and mandatory.

Mediation, easy back exercises, stretching etc are mainly practiced. The instructors make sure that they make the yoga sessions interesting and fun for all to enjoy.
