Simple Health Cures

   If we are to have a healthy body, it is necessary to provide it with everything it needs. The way we live and how we think about ourselves is also an important aspect of our well being. The golden rules for Healthy Life are a guideline for a well life.

    1. Be moderate ( Do Not Eat Too Much.)

   2. Do not skip breakfasts

   3. Never go out with an empty stomach

    4. Eat diverse and good quality foods

   5. Always compensate for lost fluid

   6. Respect the night’s rest

   7. You ought to be active

   8. Expose yourself to daylight and fresh air

   9. Cultivate the spirit of optimism and goodwill

   Why each of these rules is important?

   1. Moderation means that we behave in a way not expose our bodies to extreme challenges, especially not for a long time. For example, we should try to avoid many harmful substances that we consume in our everyday lives, such as ( coffee, alcohol, tobacco, preservatives, flavor enhancers). Undoubtedly, it is useful to drink a  a glass of wine after a good meal, or eat a piece of chocolate when you are depressed, but no more than that.

   2. People who skip breakfast have more problems with body weight, because it disturbs natural rhythm of their metabolism.

   3. When we are hungry we are tempted to eat something. If we persevere, we will return home even hungrier and eat uncontrollably all that comes to our hand. So it’s good to always have some fresh fruits and vegetables at home.

   4. The quality of food and beverages that we intake dictates the quilt of our health. For example, fibers pure body from harmful substances, certain foods stimulate metabolism, carbohydrates are the first source of energy for muscle, and proteins as their main structural material are the most valuable source of energy. As we age our body loses calcium, bones become weak, and it is very important to take enough calcium while we are still young.

   5. Disturbance of fluid balance is one of the key reasons for the occurrence of some disease. Daily our body may lose about 10 glasses of fluid even when we do nothing. We have to catch up with this loss and the best way to do this is to consume fresh water.

   6. The only time our body is being renewed is when we are asleep. We need to have enough hours of sleep in order to benefit from it. Sleep fine and live long.

    7. Regular exercise reduces the risk of a severe disease. Studies say that four hours of exercise per week reduces the incidence of breast cancer by 66.6%. walking is good for the heart and lungs and it also improves brain function by boosting its oxygen supply.

   8. Sunlight is the source of every life. It helps our vital organs to be strong and function properly. With fresh air, we breathe in the power of nature and oxygen that is necessary in the process of burning calories, making our bodily function optimal.

   9. Most of us would want to live the same way, and eat the same food as before, and to use a pill that would magically solve their problems. However, the solution is within us. If our mind is focused on good things, then we do good things. By identifying ourselves with a successful team, we may develop the competitive spirit. The quality of our life proves to be better when there is greater harmony in our family and when we have friends. The best way to get rid of stress is to live in a simple and relaxing way.

   Why is it important to apply this set of golden rules?

   Drugs help the body to defeat health problems, but drugs do not cure the causes. The cause of the disease is not in the absence of drugs, but however in violation of the healthy life rules. if we are to enjoy in a healthy life, we must fight on our own by the Golden Rules for Healthy Life, which we will respect to the maximum.

   Do you wake up feeling more tired than before you slept? Do you lack energy and became lethargic at certain times of the day? Do you want to increase productive hours and manage your life better? If you answered yes to all these questions, maybe it’s time to consider alternative means to achieve your optimal performance.

   Alternative health methods have been around for years and have caused quite a stir in many health forums. Different skeptics have disputed the so-called alternative healing and alternative medicine because these allegedly lack scientific backing. While it may be true that these health means still lack scientific basis, it’s still noteworthy to see if it could work. The following are some health methods that may be worth your time.

   Healing Methods: There are different healing methods available that are marketed as health alternatives. Some of these methods range from intuitive prayers to positive thinking while others advocate that brain waves can cure a person. There are also some methods that involve believing in one’s self to enforce ego and thereby motivate the body to perform better. These methods could be worth trying because you don’t have to buy anything but instead practice deep breathing or meditation.

   Body Frequency Adjusters: Frequency adjusters have became popular as an alternative health means. some of these so-called frequency adjusters claim that it can enhance a person’s strength and flexibility. The supposed devices come in several forms from holographic frequency magnets.

   Body Energy: Some alternative health methods aim to channel a person’s awareness. This can be done in several ways, from applying pressure on keys points on a person’s body to downright inserting needles into these keys points. The pressure applied supposedly raises a person’s levels of energy to its maximum potency thus causing positive responses and better health.

   Herbal Supplements and Medicines: So far, this is the more regulated aspect of alternative health form since the FDA rues over this area. Tests are highly required to determine the efficacy of a supposed alternative drug before it can be categorized as such. People are extra careful in ingesting any of these so-called drugs or supplements because it may cause unwanted complications or may cause a reaction when taken in with current medications.

   Did you notice that active people are happy? On the other hand, inactive people are rotting on their depression and this, of course, is not the kind of situation you want to be. Being active is scientifically proven to be boost your health, energy, and self esteem. Being active in life is also a great way to make the best out of your social life. You do not have to exercise all the time or go to the gym to be active. You can boost body, mind, and spirit by simple finding ways to be productive.

   Do The House Chores: There are so many things you can do around the house to get that lazy body into full gear. The only problem nowadays is that people seem to have been programmed to switch on the television once they get home. Some find their homes a convenient excuse not to exercise and stay active because their houses are small. Big or small, spacious or cramped, here are a few tips to make you stretch those muscles while at home.

   1. Rake the leaves, 2. Clean the toilet, 3. Throw the garbage away, 4. Clean your room, 5. Weed your garden, 6. Wash your car, 7. Clean your sidewalks, 8. Collect and chop firewood, 9. Mow the lawn

   Get Those Leg Moving:

   People have become so stationary and this is not healthy. In a normal course of day, they usually sit in the cars to drive, sit in their office while working, and sit at home watching television. If you are one of these people, this lifestyle has to change.

   Find a parking place that is about 10 minutes away from the office and then walk. Better yet, try biking or walking on your way to work. This does not only make you healthy but this will also save you a great sum of money. At the office, take the stairs instead of elevator. When you get home, walk your dog for 30 minutes or an hour. If you do not have a dog, walk to the park. It is important that you move your legs because your legs are the key components to essentially all activities that you do.

   Play, Dance, And Be Sporty:

   Games are not just for kids. It would help you stay active if you get those hoops out and shoot the ball. A few minutes of basketball is healthy and this can also develop your relationship with your kids. Other tips include: 1. Swim in a nearby pool once a week, 2. Dance to your favorite tune for five minutes, 3. Hit the tennis green, 4. Take the family to bowling, 5. Play catch with your boys, 6. Play street hockey, 7. Learn traditional dancing, 8. Skip rope, 9. Do the jumping jack, 10. Go skiing or ice skating, 11. Throw snowballs

   If you will only think about it, there are literally hundreds of ways that you can stay active. These activities can be very mundane and ordinary but these are the very same activities that many people have long forgotten to do. If you want to stay healthy, you need to stop being a couch potato and that should start now so get up of your computer chair and start walking.

   The focus in kundalini yoga is on the seven main chakras in the human beings. These seven chakras are to be awakened as they are considered the centers of psychic ability. The awakening of these chakras is aimed at releasing the untapped Kundalini energy. It is said to rest in the shape of two snakes coiled up around the spine beginning at the base of the spine. These two channels of energy are said to correlate to the masculine and feminine psychic energies.

   The male form is called “Ida” and starts from the right hand side of the spine. On the other hand the “Pingala” is the female form and starts from the left. The two snake-like channels coils up along the spine and as the chakras lie along the spine, these channels influence the centers of all the chakras. Thus being able to control the flow of energy through these channels helps you develop your psychic ability. This is said to help you reach your final goal of self mastery and nirvana.

   This form of yoga is associated with Tantra. Unlike other forms of yoga which advocate celibacy where possible with respect to spiritual growth, the Tartaric (one who practices Tantra) is said to harness sexual feelings and contact to reach enlightenment. It is a controversial form of yoga, but it does have a fairly strong fan base. Just how effective it is will be debated without any agreement being reached for ages.

   The Tartaric form of yoga is seen as a way to combine the physical male and female energies so that the human being can experience being a “whole” source of energy. Many people do not understand the true nature of Tartaric Yoga and think of it as a way to get laid. The experience of tartaric lovemaking is not to ensure that you have an orgasm. In fact the lovers during the love making is not to ensure that you have an orgasm. In fact the lovers during the love making process called “Maithuna” strive not to have an orgasm.

   The release of the sexual energy is used to aid the Kundalini Energy travel upwards through the spine. Then this energy is used to awaken the seven chakras in the body so that there can be a union of “Shakti” and “Shiva.” The form of yoga is not the ideal one if you are looking to heal a particular disease. There is also the danger of quacks trying to teach you nonsense. So don’t try this out unless you are sure you know what you are getting into.

   If you have a higher risk to develop diabetes because you are genetically predisposed to it, you have all the more reason to get proactive about preventing the disease. One of the ways that you can ensure this is by taking care of your fitness levels.

   The better shape you are in physically the less likely you are to get diabetes. It stands to reason because the disease called Diabetes is linked to the metabolic rate of the body. The higher your metabolism the better your body is able to utilize the insulin it produces.

   The more you exercise the higher your metabolic rate becomes. This happen because the more energy you use the more the body has to produce for you. This energy comes from the conversion of blood glucose in the body to energy.

   This means that the body is properly producing insulin. The insulin is helping to digest the blood glucose. The body is getting and using all the energy it can at an optimal level. This is a great deterrent to developing diabetes.

   This is why keeping up with a good fitness regime can prevent diabetes. So if there is one thing that you are going to do to keep diabetes at bay, stay fit.

   We have seen earlier how raw foods and bitter melon is turning “SWEET” in diabetic cases. It is proven to have desirable and miraculous effects in diabetes treatment the Natural Way. It is no secret that not only does it rid body of insulin resistance but also has no knwon side effects. It thus is fast becoming a wonder drug preferred by diabetics all over the world. Having said all that we need to know exactly how this wonder fruit works?

   Bitter Melon contains a chemnical that acts like insulin to help reduce blood sugar levels. The way it controls sugar is two-fold. First, it acts as a mediator between the body’s cells and insulin already produced by the pancreas. Its also blocks the formation of glucose in the bloodstream and breaks down the barrier that prevents cells from using their own natural insulin.

   Secordly, bitter melon has been shown to help increase production of beta cells by the pancreas, thereby improving the body ability to produce and release insulin. At the same time it may increase the number and activity of insulin receptors. It is also known to improve glucose tolerance and help the body process blood sugars.

   Researcher believe bitter melon may lower sugar by increasing the activity of hexokinase and glucokinase, enzymes in your body that convert sugar into glycogen, which can be stored in your liver and used later for energy. I guess now it is clear why this fruit is quickly gaining importance with not only doctors but also diabtics all over the world.

   “Chakra” is a Sanskit word which means “wheel”. as per ancient Hindu system of belief the Chakras are energy vortexes in the body. These circular shaped vortexes spin like a wheel and are known as the body’s energy chakras. The are seven main chakras in the human body, 21 sub chakras and 45 minor chakras. However here we discuss only the seven main chakras.

   Each of these seven chakras are found in one straight line from top of the head to the bottom of the spine. The seven energy vortexes have their own individual traits. For instance the seven main chakras are all different colors. These colors so relate to the colors of the rainbow described by VIBGYOR going from top to bottom.

   So what are the names of these Chakras?

   1. Head Chakras is called Sahasrara

   2. Third Eye Chakra is called Ajana or Gyan

   3. Throat Chakra is called Vishuddha

   4. Heart Chakra is called Anahata

   5. Solar Plexus Chakra  is called Manipura

   6. Sacral Chakra is called Swadhisthana

   7. Root chakra is called Mooldhara

   The Chakras all goven and are governed by different factors and body parts. So what are these traits that influence each Chakra? Here is a summation of the key points for each of these energy centers of the body. They are all associated with different parts of the body as well. Let us begin with the the first Chakra.

   The Head Chakra is assoicated with the pineal endocrine gland. it governs the upper brain and right eye. Its element is the “spirit”. Its function on an emotional level is to help connect to your spiritual self. It is through this head chakra that the energy is drawn into the body for various needs. An energy healer will usually not perform any treatment for this chakra in any normal person.

   The Third Eye Chakra is associated with the pituitary gland. It governs the lower brain, left eye, ears and nose. Its element is the “thought”. It functions as an intuition center. It helps in thought formation and visualization as well. This is the chakra which you need to develop if you wish to develop if you wish to develop your psychic abilities. Most yogis use this chakra as a meditation center as well.

   The Throat Chakra is associated with the thyroid and parathyroid gland. It governs the respiratory system including the throat, lungs, and the bronchial apparatus. Its element is “either”. The emotional function of the throat chakra is that of a communication center.

   It accepts and assimilates information from its surroundings.

   We will continue about the remaining chakras in the next post.

   While the current form of Power Yoga is derived from Krishnamacharya, it is essentially based on the Ashtanga Yoga System. Many posture sequences in the Yoga asana sessions for Power Yoga are heavily influenced by Ashtango Yoga. Krishnamacharya was the Yoga teacher of B.K.S lyenger, who brought so much more to Power Yoga by adding aids to help the not so flexible people perform the asanas. However we degree from the main subject here, that of Power Yoga.

   So why is there such a Buzz about Power Yoga? What are some of the benefits that you can expect if you begin to practice it?  Power Yoga combines a double dose of health by allowing your body to get a full fledged work out and your mind a meditation session as well. This result in a toned body which has great stamina, plus a flexible and relaxed mind which is active and alert. So how did it become so popular in America? For that you need to thank Tim Miller.

   He was perhaps the first certified Yoga instructor who brought the advantage and goodness of Yoga to America and the west. What makes Power Yoga which pushes your body to the extreme. It can be treated at power with a heavy work out at the Gym. That is why while normal Yoga can be practiced at a gentle pace by any one, it is essential to get clearance from your doctor before you begin learning Power Yoga.

   If you are into body building or wish to have a really good physic this is the ideal tool to help you chisel out your body. If you are looking to shed some weight, in case you are a few pounds overweight, this technique of yoga can help you greatly. The fast pace and demanding asana of the Power Yoga session improve your blood circulation and boost your immune system. This means that you will be less likely to fall ill seasonally.

   There are other related benefits of doing Power Yoga which include help with healing of various diseased such as acidity, asthma, cancer, bronchitis, insomnia, sinusitis, hypertension and menstrual disorders amongst a few. The people who do Power Yoga on a regular basis also mention that they have improved concertration levels and feel better in control of their lives.

It is a controversial form of Yoga, but it does have a fairly strong fan base. Just how effective it is will be debated without any agreement being reached for ages.

   The Tantric form of Yoga is seen as a way to combine the physical male and female energies so that the human being can experience being a “whole” source of energy.

   The basic principle of energy healing says that all beings are essentially a field of energy. That the vibrations of energy in the being are a part of the greater life force energy which same call God. This  means that everything around us has energy. The rocks and water as well as the cats and dogs, they all have some form of energy vibrations emanating from them. The human being is different from animals in one respect.

   In the respect that he has emotions and feelings and can choose his own energy levels. The humans being has the ability to manipulate the energy field around him and others. This is how emotional energy, healing take place. An Energy healer will often stress that your emotions will help or hinder the healing process. So they often ask you to think of a positive outcome to the healing session to control your run away emotions.

   This serves a dual purpose. Firstly the concete outcome that you think about and focus on keeps your negative emotion in check. This allows the energy heater to work on you while facing fewer blocks to the free flowing energy. Secondly since you imagine a very real outcome from the healing session you yourself are pouring creative energy into the situation. This means that the healing process is interactive with your being open to receiving the healing enery.

   Each emotion can generate a vibrational energy. The lower emotions like greed, anger, lust and jealousy will generate negative energy, which tend to imbalance your own life force. While the higher emotions such as love, joy, elationor worship will generate great fields of positive energy. That’s why you feel pleasure when you pray as it puts you in tune with higher emotions and positive energy fields. This will bring positive emotional healing to your physical body as well.
