Holistic Approach to Fast & Healthy Weight Loss – Part IV

November 29th 2011 16:30

We cannot have a holistic approach towards losing weight without understanding the importance of fruits in our diet and including a few of them in it. In the last article in this series, we have talked about vegetables and we have seen how they help us in controlling our intake of calorie by preventing us from eating high-fat food items. In this article, we will see how fruits would impact our diet and fight towards fast weight loss.

Fruits in general contain huge amount of water in them, apart from fiber and vitamins. Fiber, in general, helps us to maintain our body metabolism and help in clearing the bowel. Vitamins are vital for our body and form critical part of daily nutrition. Vitamins help us absorb the food that we eat or drink and also protect our skin and organs from various internal and external factors. This is how fruits containing fiber and vitamins are so helpful to us. However, the bulk content in any fruit is water which helps us in cleansing our organs – both internally and externally, and keeping us free of accumulated foreign bodies. This is one of the reasons that doctors recommend you to have at least 6 to 8 glasses of water on a daily basis.

Fruits have been always a part of a healthy weight-loss diet. The grapefruit in particular has found its importance in a diet made to propel weight loss. Besides, it contains Vitamin C in abundance which helps us to maintain healthy teeth and eyes. We should prepare a diet for us in such way that we have at least three servings of fruit daily. When talking about servings, it is not necessary to have only one kind of fruit each time; rather, it is recommended that we consume various types of fruits together to maintain a balance of various nutrients that are required by the body. Mixed fruit juices are also very helpful.

Do you like sweets very much? Well, sweets are potential careers of high doses of calories. Sweets, made from milk and sugar, contain high-fat ingredients too, like butter, oil, yogurts etc. which only add up to our calorie intake. Fruits would help there too. Fruits, naturally, are sweet to taste and we can easily replace sweets in our desserts with cut fruits. Many of our readers have switched to a bowl of cut fruits spilled with a spoonful of honey after dinner and stopped taking ice-cream or sweets made from milk and syrup. They often consider this as one of the best steps they took towards holistic approach to fast and healthy weight loss.

Please include lot of fruits in your daily diet and you should be on your way to lose some of those flabs and extra pounds that you have acquired over the last few years. Remember to have at least three servings a day. You can easily make fruits or fruit juices a large part in your breakfast, evening snack and dinner. Just follow this for about a month or two and I am sure you will feel the difference. Let us know if that helps. Your feedbacks, in the form of comments in this blog motivate us to write and contribute more.

Cheers!

Overdose of Paracetamol can be fatal

November 24th 2011 06:49

Paracetamol is a household medicine and is considered as an OTC (Over the counter) medicine available at a local druggist. Body aches, fever and mild cold can be treated well by Paracetamol and we have also seen how good it works for us and our family. In Australia, almost all the families would have Paracetamol in their houses because this is one medicine that they have learnt to use over the ages.

Have you ever thought that these small Paracetamol can also cause severe harmful effects on your body? Well, most of us would not even believe it, as we have known to use Paracetamol randomly and very regularly. On a Monday morning when we wake up with a mild fever or head ache, we gulp in a Paracetamol and we are good to resume our duties. This is the ease with which we take a Paracetamol. But, it is time we know about this other facet of Paracetamol which has been unknown for a long time.

A recent study says that consuming too much of Paracetamol, even in little quantities but regularly for a period of many days can eventually result in a dangerous overdose. This kind of overdose is more severe than a single overdose that can be spotted easily and can be treated with. An overdose caused by regular consumption of Paracetamol is very difficult to spot by the physicians. Not only this, but such an overdose can put one at danger of dying slowly.

Paracetamol Overdose can be Fatal

When a patient is brought to the hospital after a single overdose, the amount of Paracetamol available in blood can be assessed by a simple blood test. Accordingly, the doctors would provide treatment and in most cases the victim would return home within a couple of days. However, in case of prolonged intake of Paracetamol it is very difficult to detect the overdose symptoms, even after a blood test. This is because the level of Paracetamol available in the blood would be low; however, the patient would be still at high risk of liver failure and an eventual death.

It would be a request from my end to stop taking Paracetamol for a prolonged period. If you find that the initial few doses are not helping you recover and you still have fever, abdominal or muscular pain or head ache, please consider consulting your doctor. I am sure she might be in a better position to suggest you on the plausible medication and subsequent treatment. This is just a caution and I am sure after reading this article here, you would agree with me.

This can happen with other OTC medicines too. Unfortunately, we do not have more and more studies on these medicines and we do not know about the harmful effects these medicines would have on us when taken regularly for a longer period in time. Hence, it is recommended that we should not continue with the medication that we choose for ourselves when we are ill, for a longer duration. If initial few doses do not work the way they have always worked for us, we should rush to the doctor and get ourselves or our families checked up.

Please use these OTC drugs responsibly.
Cheers!

Holistic Approach to Fast & Healthy Weight Loss – Part III

November 16th 2011 17:52

Hi All. Hope you are enjoying this series of articles especially on fat loss. Till now we have seen the importance of exercise, weightlifting and a diet with fewer high-fat items in it. And I am sure you all will agree with me when I say that these three things, done religiously will ensure that you lose those extra pounds from your body and will also ensure that you stay fit and fresh.

Being active, fresh and fit is the notion of the nation now! When I say, ‘Notion of the Nation,’ what I mean is that everyone around you and me are trying to be fit and fresh. This is also required to have a healthy mind and body. A fresh mind would surely be more innovative, descriptive and creative. And exercising regularly coupled with a diet with low fat containing food items will keep you fresh, fit and active all through the day

Holistic Approach to Fast & Healthy Weight Loss – Part II

November 14th 2011 17:15

Hello Mate! I am back with the second part of holistic approach to fast and healthy weight loss. In the previous post we have covered the part one of the series and in that we have talked about exercise. We have seen how a regular exercise regime and a healthy diet would help to keep you fit and fine. Today, we will talk about some food habits of ours which we need to get rid of to affect a fast weight loss.

Well, before getting into today’s topic let me add something to the first post. Recently, I came to know that weightlifting helps in losing weight too. So, in addition to cardio I would recommend you to incorporate some kind of weightlifting into your regular exercise routine. It need not be weightlifting as those huge guys going to the Olympics do, but a simple mechanism, like a chair or a flower vase or a bucket of water can do the necessary. You know the secret, how it works? Well, even I did not know until yesterday, when my friend talked about it. When we perform weightlifting regularly, we would build us some kind of muscle – however small it may be. These muscles that we build up doing weightlifting will help to burn the extra calories that we intake even when we are not actively doing something physical. That means, even when we are sleeping or just lazing around in our couch, the calories get burnt up, although slowly. Hence, we need to incorporate weightlifting in our workout regime. However, I would request not to lift heavy items and start lifting smaller buckets of water initially and as days pass, you can increase the weight or size of the bucket. This will allow your body to settle down with higher weights slowly but surely. Try this out and let me know if that helps. I am sure it will

Brush teeth twice a day

October 24th 2011 06:56

We would not know the value of our teeth until we lose them all. This is famous saying in Bengal and is preached over and over again to all the young children to make them take care of their teeth regularly.

Taking care of teeth regularly is very important. We use our teeth to eat our food, the most important work in one’s life. If we do not have teeth, it would be very touch to have various kinds of food that we eat. We need teeth for chewing, tearing, cutting and other similar activities, before we can actually digest our food. Whatever we eat will pass through our teeth before they can be swallowed. This is why it is very important that our teeth work fine and are strong and healthy
