In Search of a Good Ayurveda Clinic

September 30, 2009

One of today’s most popular alternative treatments is known as Ayurveda, which originated in India and if you happen to be one wanting to try it out, you may start your journey in search of a good Ayurveda clinic.

Ayurveda is a system of alternative medicine native to India and is commonly practiced in Asia and continues to enjoy a great deal of popularity in western cultures compared to several other forms of alternative medicine and treatment.

All over the world, one can find many Ayurveda clinics that offer Ayurvedic methods of treatment and medicince, depending on which method one would like to experience ranging from massages, herbal, medicinal and even physical therapy like Yoga, which is considered a component of Ayurvedic medicine.

If you are an Ayurvedic enthusiast hoping to find a good Ayurveda clinic, you actually have a wealth of resources right at the tip of your fingertips especially in looking to find the best Ayurveda clinic that would suit your preferences.

Here are some tips to consider if you are in search of a good Ayurveda clinic.

First, try to weigh or select your desired Ayurveda treatment style or method.

As an alternative medicine and treatment method, Ayurveda offers a wide variety of styles that differentiates one method from another, whether it be for therapy, exercise, wellness and prevention or treatment of diseases, among others.

So get started by identifying which method you may want to adopt.

Next, be specific, since Ayurveda is not just a simple process, rather it is a conglomeration of art and science, where it is a health care practice practiced for over 5000 years and has incorporated many facets of the science from massages, herbal treatments, surgery, lifestyle and discipline.

Research is key, study everything you need to know about the Ayurvedic practice you want to be immersed into before searching for the Ayurveda clinic of your choice.

Remember that research also forms part of getting all the information that you need before you start pursuing what you hope to achieve.

After all, awareness is crucial, especially on the details of the practice you want to pursue, that way you save yourself the trouble of making the wrong decisions or getting into the wrong discipline.

Also be aware that despite Ayurveda being a broad science it may also have its advantages and disadvantages, depending on the category of the Ayurvedic system.

So taking the steps in searching for the right Ayurveda clinic is as important as getting the knowledge about the practice.

But fear or fret no more, since information on anything and everything about Ayurveda is just a click of a button away.

Try logging on to the internet, search and get all the information you need to keep you informed about the choices that you may have, that way you are satisfied with the Ayurveda discipline you want to try out, furthermore, it will also let you know if the clinic offers the right service and discipline.

Word of mouth is also a good source of information, especially from seasoned professional practitioners or veteran enthusiasts, who may be able to clue you in on the best training Ayurveda clinics around.

So, whether you opt for varying Ayurvedic styles or techniques you hope to pursue, be sure to always be a step ahead of yourself to be on top and succeed in your search of a good Ayurveda clinic.

Growing Older

September 30, 2009

When we are young we assume that being old won’t happen to us. Old age is so far away we think it doesn’t matter, or maybe the event will forget us when we get there. Getting old happens to us in spite of ignoring it. It’s not an easy process, either, and is not usually done gracefully. To compound the biological problems, there is the pervasive and ignored ‘ism’ of our day, ageism, where the elderly are essentially ostracized. (More on this later.) It’s a tough row all of us must hoe one day. The actress Bette Davis summed it up like this: “Growing old is not for sissies.”

Not only do physical capabilities ebb with the years, but mental skills do as well. The elderly can cycle back to the physical and mental incapacities of being an infant. The time in the center of life when we are fully capable is but a brief window. Our problem is that in this window of the middle years we think old age is way off in time. So we don’t store up health treasures to be redeemed later on in life. Living for the moment, adopting an if-it-feels-good-do-it attitude, and traipsing through life under the mistaken assumption that the wonders of medicine will fix anything that breaks, is the formula for health disaster in the golden years.

To harvest health in the latter years requires cultivating it in the early ones. As previously explained, most of the chronic degenerative diseases that rob life begin in childhood. The good news is that most of them are preventable with proper lifestyle and diet.

We hear reports of how science will extend life to 150 years and even beyond. Aside from the fact that science has not extended life at all, and is nowhere near that capability (proof of this follows), in the state many people find themselves at even 50 or 60, who would want more time of that? Life in a nursing home crippled, demented, incontinent, breathing tanked oxygen, or on life support is not particularly attractive.

Although I discuss at length whether death is really The End in the companion book, Solving The Big Questions, let me here say that there is a time for the end of life on Earth and that is not necessarily bad or something to fear. When life brings more pain than pleasure, death is surely a welcome relief. In fact, when you think about it, all of life is filled with a series of deaths. The innocence of childhood, the thrills of the high school years, the security of life at home with parents, young love, children of our own, the excitement of a new career, a first car and home, the ‘stuff’ of boats, clothes, tools, furniture, etc., is temporary. They all, in effect, die because they pass or lose their glamour. My daughter recently remarked to me as she was moving through young adulthood, “Everything is becoming more real, less fantastic.”

If these deaths in life are not offset with new adventures they can mound up as only memories to make life a very depressing ordeal in the later years. The trick is to not let life degrade to nothing except an accumulation of memories. Life is a participation sport requiring that we fill it with new challenges, never stop growing, and that we make a point of becoming a better person. That is the only way to make growing older worthwhile—yet another beginning chapter to look forward to, not a final one we wish would end.

Aging is, in part, self-imposed because as we get older we convince ourselves we’re supposed to slow down. We don’t grow old; rather we become old by not growing. We are not an exception to the rule that all things like to take the route of least resistance. It’s easier to not learn more, not be creative, not develop a new skill, not become fitter, increase strength, or develop athleticism. Being ‘too old’ is a convenient excuse to not apply the force to life to improve it and prevent its slide downhill.

Our body and mind rise to the challenges we place upon them. If we do something, we will be something. Do nothing and we become nothing. Be increasingly inactive and we will achieve the ultimate inactivity—death. The best life of all is to not permit the decrepitudes of old age and die old as young as possible.

Forget the numbers attached to life. Don’t assume that forty means easing off, fifty means retiring, sixty means incapable, and seventy means being just an observer. Life is about pushing ourselves mentally and physically, always seeking new horizons. That’s what can make life fulfilling to the end. If we plan to live forever every day, we can always say, “So good, so far.”

This is not to say that age does not slow us down and decrease capacity. At age 80 we can’t run the same time in the 100-meter dash that we did at 25. Nor should we try since the inherent strength and resiliency of an older body is less and thus more prone to getting broken. We’re like rubber bands in that regard. Stretch a new one over and over and it doesn’t matter. Get one out of the back of the drawer that’s been there for a few years and try the same thing and it will break apart. But that’s okay. We can still stretch our lives; we just have to be more careful.

Also consider that what we lose due to physical attrition we gain in experience and savvy. It’s pretty satisfying to get to the point in life where there’s nothing much left to learn the hard way, and most everyone around you is younger and therefore less experienced. With age we don’t have to guess so much about things or embark on time- and energy-consuming adventures that are fruitless. Having been there and done that gives us confidence, even smugness, with respect to the frenzied and dead-ended activities of all the young gaffers.

Living a full life means deferring less and less to teachers and mentors. We become the teacher and mentor. It is no longer necessary to be in awe. We can discern, be critical, and perhaps even make better sense of things than most of the supposed experts out there—if we have lived as if thinking matters. Although humility and learning are always in order, shifting roles from life’s student to teacher and leader—from taking to giving—is something to welcome as one of life’s wonderful rewards. It is a reward only possible if we grow older.

Healthy Weight

September 30, 2009

Aside from abundance, the most aggravating factor in modern obesity is the shift to a carbohydrate-based diet. In the wild, cheese puffs, Jolly Ranchers, and Big Gulps would not exist. We would be primarily metabolizing protein and fat because that is the makeup of natural foods in the wild.

When we fill the intestinal tract with carbohydrates (all of which convert to quick energy sugars) and keep it full, there is no need for the body to ever call upon reserve fat in tissue to supply energy. Additionally, the fat that is eaten is shuttled off to fat stores since it is the prized storage fuel. There is no need to waste this prized fuel for energy since all the moment-to-moment energy needs are being taken care of by an intestinal tract that is constantly laden with carbohydrates. Carbohydrates in excess of moment-to-moment energy needs are then also converted to fat for storage.

As the body gets used to this skewed form of metabolism, it becomes dependent on it and will feel discomfort if it is not continued. The craving for sugar and starches (another form of sugar) is a universal symptom of the obese. Their inability to imagine a day without soda, some candy, bread, cereal, pastries, potatoes, and rolls is not a matter of mere food preference, but of addiction and should raise the red flag that those are the foods they should abandon. This craving for processed carbohydrates, when the body obviously does not need more food, is an addiction every bit as powerful as nicotine, caffeine and street drugs. The carbohydrate junkie is enslaved and self-destructive like any other addict.

That brief explanation is the long and short of the cause of the modern epidemic of obesity, as well as the many other modern chronic degenerative diseases.

Since it is intelligence, not our biology, that has created the convenient modern abundance, it is intelligence, not biology, that must dictate how we eat. Reason tells us that we should be selecting foods as close to nature as possible and expending sufficient energy by work or exercise to balance what we take in. That is a matter of thinking and judgment, not feeling—feeling like we want to eat and feeling like we don’t want to exercise.

Actually, little thought is required if whole natural raw foods are the focus. Such foods will automatically regulate weight. High levels of body fat do not exist in the wild other than to serve a functional role in insulation or as a reserve for hibernation. Natural food —any food that can be found in the wild and digested raw exactly like it is without any form of processing—also contains all the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, accessory nutrients and undiscovered essentials to process the food and permit the full expression of health. Unnatural food—that which can only be eaten if processed or synthesized—is cosmetically enhanced to fool us into thinking it is good. It is usually laden with toxins and easy calories stripped of vital nutrients. Modern processed foods are too much of too little. The obese are in fact starving, famished for the critical nutrients found only in raw natural foods.

Excess weight is such a pervasive problem and an inciting or aggravating factor in so many diseases that its prevention should be on everyone’s mind, and it pretty much is these days since the majority of people are overweight and at least a third are obese. Excess weight is neither innocent nor harmless for the individual or society. Since excess weight boils down to eating more than one’s activity justifies, it is a form of theft in that we are taking what we do not deserve. In a world of limited resources, including those necessary to farm, process, transport, and store food, why should we consume more than we need? Moreover, while children here and abroad starve, we are killing ourselves by overeating. Instead of the counsel echoed in households across the land: “Clean up your plate, don’t you know there are starving children?” it should be: “Don’t put so much on your plate; don’t you know there are starving children?”

We owe it to our body to properly care for it. It is a moral and ethical responsibility as much as caring for children, parents, pets, and the environment. Some justify being overweight as a life choice. But no choice is made in a vacuum. Society ends up paying for handicap facilities, healthcare, and social aid for those who, under the burden of their own weight and the attendant health decline, cannot stand on their feet for any length of time or sustain a job. It is also not fair to family and friends to impose upon them the emotional anguish of watching a loved one self-destruct.

Excess weight predisposes those who carry it to myriad diseases and mobility problems. Decreased agility increases the risk of physical injury from falling and decreases a person’s ability to escape quickly from threatening situations. The load stress on the joints erodes them and inflicts arthritic changes requiring pain medications (a sure downward drug dependent and side effect spiral) and joint replacement surgery.

If a person simply calculates how much they are overweight, say it is 50 or 100 pounds, and goes to a gym and picks up dumbbells of that weight and carries them around for a short time, it will be clear why the joints are failing. Such a person is not a ‘victim’ of arthritis, and it is not ‘in the genes,’ even though many physicians and surgeons will tell their patients such an outrageous story.

If an obese person requires surgery, risk is increased because of the difficulty of reaching target tissues, the danger of ligatures slipping, and the sheer frustration of attempting precise work in a corporeal vat of grease. Furthermore, if the goal is to reach the maximum lifespan of about 120, or at least live healthily for the years lived, few things can be done that will increase the chances more than eating less and being reasonably lean.

Excess weight is a problem that lies within any person’s power to solve. Even when people feel up against the wall and resort to highly dangerous bariatric surgery (stomach stapling and the like), success does not come from the surgery; it results because less food is eaten. Eating less food can be a choice; choice does not require surgery.

Life is best lived as a challenge to be won. By following the simple principles outlined above we can meet and win the challenge of excess weight with a wind at our back. All that stands in the way is thinking and the will to become a better person.

So don’t see excess weight as an impossible burden or a reason to concede defeat, nor to resign oneself to a lifestyle of masochistic self-loathing. Don’t be discouraged by the feeling of emptiness and frustration from failed diet programs that center on some expert or product. They provide no true foothold because they center on an outside agency, not personal enlightenment. See the problem and your new understanding of it as a fount of action. It is a wonderful opportunity to take control, watch your body transform, and experience the health it is designed to have.

Lifestyle and Natural Skin Care Products – Where Are the Links?

September 29, 2009

Organic skincare is great. Natural skincare is great. That much is a given. But what about the things we do when we are not using our natural or organic, herbal or gentle, cosmetics and skincare products, things more to do with lifestyle rather than retail choices?

There are many environmental factors that affect our skin, and over the course of a lifetime we instinctively notice that certain things make our skin less healthy, for example diet and stress factors might influence you. If you do think that diet might be having a negative effect on your skin then try cutting certain foods out of your diet – too much dairy and too many deep fried fat foods might be a key area of concern. Also, don’t be blind to the positive effects that foods rich in vitamins A and C will have on the skin, and drink as much water as you can because water drives the process by which toxins are washed away from the surface of the skin.

What else can we do in our life to back up the use of natural and organic skincare product s and the positive effects than these popular products have for our skin? Well all aspects of the health and condition of the skin can be linked to the circulation of the blood, because the skin is the largest organ in the body. So, if you have any conditions effecting circulation – problems with blood pressure and so on – you may need to take extra care of your skin. Equally, if you smoke then you are really being silly because smokers are placing their circulation under undue stress, and the result of this can be grey, lifeless skin that looks unloved.

Of course, the reason why smokers look unhealthy is because they are, and this fact represents much of our skins relationship to the lifestyle choices that we make: act healthy, look healthy, it’s as simple as that.

So, whilst some people might think that spending mega bucks on a specific moisturiser, cosmetic or organic skincare product might counteract unhealthy habits, the simple fact is that any skin care routine should be running side by side with a general health kick which, fittingly, might include running.

Any exercise routine will help keep the skin looking good and healthy, because when we puff and pant we get our circulation going.

Other things that we should look at are our rest patterns. Not resting enough can cause the skin to look tired and be overly prone to dark patches beneath the eyes. Also, lack of sleep or disrupted sleep patterns may be a corollary of an underlying factor, and one which has a far greater effect on the health of our skin, namely the old sweaty faced monster STRESS.

To de-stress is to give the body a nice rest, and the importance of taking the time to think about all aspects of our wellbeing cannot be underestimated before we start deciding which organic and natural skincare products we want to use.

Why Are People Switching to Organic and Natural Skincare Products ?

September 29, 2009

Many people are making the switch to organic and natural skincare products; worried about the potential dangers of the unknowable chemical compositions that sully the list of ingredients printed on skincare and cosmetics products around the world.

But is skincare confined to the cosmetic products and cosmetics that we buy, or does the act of caring for our skin extend beyond the items on our dresser or above our sink.

Indeed, it is a known fact that an almost indefinite array of our daily lifestyle choices influence our skin, and how we care for this , the largest organ in the body, is something that really should extend beyond purchasing organic and natural cosmetics and skin care products, and into the day to day actions that we make without even thinking about the effect that they are having on our skin.

If your stress levels are continuingly through the roof then this will be placing an undue issue on your skin. If you think your skin might be showing signs of stress the most important thing is to not let this fact stress you out, as this will only make matters worse. Instead, deal with the matter that is stressing you out, whether the thing that works for you is a nice massage, a treat of some sort or the implementation of a strict exercise regime.

This, alongside the favouring of natural and organic skincare products might just make the difference.

Another area that we should all look at before placing all faith in natural and organic skincare products is our diet, and especially in our consuming of nice healthy vitamins which are absolutely vital for the continued maintenance and well being of our bodies.

A vitamin is a compound found in natural foodstuffs, fresh fruit and vegetables – but not so much in tinned and processed foods that are increasingly finding their place in our shopping baskets. People who wish to support their natural or organic skincare routine with vitamins have two routes – either dietary changes or through pills or other supplements.

Two vitamins that are gaining notice as being most important for promoting healthy skin, and repairing damaged skin, are Vitamin K and niacin (sometimes known as vitamin B-3). Vitamin K is a vitamin that contributes to the clotting of the blood, and it has been shown to be extremely successful in dealing with black eyes and dark circles under the eyes.

Vitamins C, E and A are all well known for their benefits to the skin, and people looking into altering their skincare routine through organic and natural skincare products should not avoid thinking about other aspects of their lifestyle and how this will affect their skin. Vitamin A can be found in many foodstuffs, and leafy greens, apricots, broccoli, lettuce and other fresh vegetables. However, vitamin A cannot be excreted by the body like other vitamins can, so be wary about taking on synthetic vitamin A in a way that you can with Vitamin C and so on. However, through diet, a natural and organic skincare routine can be supplemented by nature.

Natural Skin Care Pros and Pros

September 29, 2009

Natural and organic skincare products contain products that are found naturally, such as essential oils like rose oil and lavender oil which are mainstays of the organic and natural skincare market, due to their fantastic naturally occurring properties and shelf life.

One of the really nice things about making the switch to natural and organic skincare products is that it encourages people to take the time to look at the ingredients that are used in the cosmetics products that they are buying. After all, if one product is attempting to justify a higher price tag, or differentiate itself from other products in the same marketplace, through describing itself as Natural, or Organic, or Herbal, then the consumer has every right to judge whether that product is worthy of that by studying what implications the use of each ingredients has for the product in question.

Vitamin E Oil is one ingredient that crops up in natural and organic cosmetics, make ups and skincare products, and it is an ingredient that is one of those to really look out for when judging the pros and cons of a specific skincare product. The beauty of Vitamin E is that not only is it a great antioxidant for the skin – though its real beneficial properties for the skin come from its inclusion in a rounded diet, so head toward apricots, leafy vegetable and so on – but it also a really good preservative.

When buying natural cosmetics it is important to remember that the shelf life is likely to be far less than that of a product which contains no natural ingredients but is entirely synthetic – imagine the difference between a fresh lettuce and a block of plastic – the plastic will remain in the same condition in six months whereas the lettuce will have well and tritely be beyond the pale. For the same reason, many products that brand themselves as organic and natural actually fall down when it comes to their shelf life – finding that they are unable to remain true to their ideals when it comes to find an inexpensive way to create a nice long shelf life.

Some products get round this through their packaging, and for that reason some of the more expensive natural and organic skincare crémes and so on come packaged in dark blue glass cases, as these cases protect the organic matter inside from the aging effects of sunlight.

Vitamin E should also be sought out in those products intended for anti-wrinkle properties, however if it is possible for the consumer to get some indication as to the percentage of Vitamin E Oil in a product then this would be most helpful for making the right decision. In an anti wrinkle créme we should be looking for Vitamin E oil concentrations of around fifteen percent in the bass oils. Not only does Vitamin act as a natural preservative for the actual product, but it also acts as a preservative for the body – helping the skin look its best from year to year.

Yoga, Pilates and Your Health

September 29, 2009

Recently, I started taking Yoga and Pilates and have really enjoyed the added benefits that it has brought to my life. Initially, I looked into yoga classes to help improve my flexibility as well as to help me manage stress better in my life (because I tend to be high-strung at times). However, upon taking the first few classes, I realized that there is so much more to these practices. While I am still unable to touch my toes, my overall flexibility has greatly improved from what it used to be. I am more aware of my posture when I am standing or sitting, and doing Yoga has brought an entirely new awareness to my breathing.

There are many practitioners of Yoga who also believe that doing Yoga helps you to lose weight because it brings an increased awareness to your body, making you more in tune to your body, which then transfers over to being more conscious about what you are feeding your body. In today’s society, we are living in a world that is constantly moving, shifting and changing, and at times it seems like we can’t even set aside a moment for ourselves to stop, think and breathe. As much as our employers would like to believe that we are well-oiled machines, the truth is very different from the reality. In reality, people need to relax a little (‘Relax’ shouldn’t be mistaken for laziness here). We need to set aside time for our spiritual and mental development because after all, a more relaxed employee is an employee who puts out more quality work and who can think and react more quickly.

Pilates also has numerous health benefits. One of the major places that people gain weight is in their core (or stomach area). According to various studies, your core area of your body is the absolute worst place that you can gain weight, and while this doesn’t help you lose weight, it does help you tone up problem areas. My boyfriend, who used to be a personal trainer, once told me, “Even if you’re fat, underneath that fat are 6-pack abs.” and he’s right. Many people think that doing yoga or pilates alone will help them lose weight. And while it is true that doing either activity will help you burn a few calories, ultimately, you’ll need to couple a Pilates and/or Yoga regimen with one that involves eating healthier, smaller portions as well as some sort of cardiovascular exercise (I.e. running, walking, cycling, etc.).

It helps to tone areas of your legs, back and arms, but it mostly focuses on your core. Your core area of your body plays an extremely important role in maintaining your balance and vitality. From walking to running to cooking to cleaning to laughing, your core is involved. Could you imagine what you would feel like if you injured yourself in your stomach area? Think about how someone (maybe you) felt if they had ever been punched in the stomach. They are almost immediately and temporarily debilitated! Doing Pilates and Yoga helps to improve both your flexibility, balance and strength.

Observe Yeast Infection Medications Through Assessing Monistat Medicines
