Don't make stomach your dustbin

Eat till you are full is an age old practice, BUT Eat till you are HALF FULL, is modern mantra.

Eating should be to satisfy the mind and not the heart.

To eat mindfully, pick your food as per your fist and not to feast.

It takes 20 minutes for your brain to register that you are full, so eat slowly.

Bigger the better is an old school of thought- eat in smaller portions by picking smaller plates.

Eating to finish the food is a popular practice in every household especially the ladies of the clan practice it.

Anything in excess is harmful and so is the food. Extra should be given away as the stomach is a food bin not a dustbin.

Dustbin can be changed frequently, but food bin stomach is a bin for life so take care

THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU EAT ONCE

Watery secrets to health and weight loss

Watery secrets to health and weight loss

Weight gain is a notorious virus that can plague people of any age bracket anywhere in the world.  There’s but one way to tame its notoriety: alongside your diet, you need to deal with lifestyle changes with deft hands. Make those little tweaks to your schedule where you wake up an hour early to exercise and kick start  your day with a healthy breakfast and where you drink water (like plenty of it) to keep weight gain at bay.

No. Water is not a magic bullet that dissolves in your body and helps you shed those extra pounds. But that is not to undermine the crucial role of water in weight loss in any way. Water is a bewildering fluid with no calories that keeps you hydrated and satisfied.

Here are some wonders that water can do to boost up your weight loss.

Kick starting you day with a glass of water.

Right after you wake up; treat yourself to a glass of water. It works as a flush for your body, draining it of the toxins accumulated overnight. To rev up your weight loss, begin your day with a glass of lukewarm water and squeeze half a lemon in it.

Drink water prior to all your meals.

There goes an innocent trick you could pull on yourself to manage your portions.  Water acts as a suppressant for your appetite. How effortlessly it curbs down the amount of food you will now eat for your meal!

Drink plenty of water to rev up your metabolism.

Dehydration is a devilish foe while you are on weight loss. Without sufficient water, your body ceases to function normally.  It slows down the body metabolism. Now that your body has gotten a little indolent, it does not burn as many calories as it was supposed to.

Drinking water keeps you full.

It’s a funny thing the brain does at times. It mixes up the thirst signals with the hunger ones. So sometimes your oddly timed hunger pang is actually a cue for you to drink more water.  For such times you could keep a water bottle nearby instead of snacking up on whatever is at hand.

Replace your soft drinks and sodas with plain water.

Water is a bewildering fluid totally capable in itself of quenching thirst and keeping you hydrated, and that too at zero calorie consumption. Now is the time to make that slight yet significant tweak in your lifestyle that we had talked about. Replacing your sugar-saturated sodas and soft drinks with water is a significant way of jumpstarting losing weight.

Drinking enough water takes care of your overall health.

Water is the conveyer of body fluid. It helps to balance the fluids and eases the passage for them as they flow from one end to another inside your body. These fluids are responsible for several vital body functions like absorption, circulation digestion, and movement of bowel and maintenance of body temperature.

To sum it up, the list of benefits of water in losing and managing weight is somewhat exhaustive. Moreover, it generously contributes to an overall well-being and paves the way for a much more beautiful, effervescent, youthful you.

So, drink up fellas. Bottoms up!

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has become as common as common cold these days.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has become as common as common cold these days. It affects at least one in every ten women aging towards puberty. PCOS is an aftermath of a hormonal imbalance in women wherein the testosterone levels shoots up in the body causing an array of symptomatic reactions.

A woman with PCOS is prone to weight gain, pelvic pain, acne, depression and irregular menstrual cycles. But that’s only as far as the horror factors go. Firstly, like I have mentioned before, PCOS has become indescribably common among women of a certain age these days. Secondly, with a treatment, proper diet and exercise schedule, PCOS is quite curable.

Here are a few tips and tricks for you to keep in mind and compile them with your treatment to stay several steps ahead of PCOS.

PCOS and Weight gain

Between PCOS and body weight, it’s a long, enticing affair that takes place. PCOS makes it difficult for the body to use insulin; a hormone that is responsible for converting food starch into energy. As a result, your body becomes insulin resistant, and stores up the energy as fat instead of burning it out. High insulin levels make it a troublesome affair to maintain a manageable weight.

Diet tips that work wonders with PCOS

Carbohydrates are one of those food components that really make your insulin levels tick. But not all carbs are the bad guys. It’s the simple carbs that you need to watch out for. Even if you gulp down foods with the same amount of carbohydrate, the effect they will have on your insulin level will vary depending on the type of carb that you have consumed. So, it helps to stay wide awake every time you go grocery shopping. Make a few necessary tweaks to your grocery list and consumption pattern, and before you know your PCOS will be an ancient thing in the past. 

Next time you go to the departmental store, make sure you pick whole grains over multi-grains. You could switch from cornflakes to wheat flakes or oatmeal as far as breakfast is concerned. Here’s another small fix you can pull. Swap your white bread with its brown counterpart and do the same with your rice. It’s always more advisable (and beneficial) to eat whole fruits instead of drinking canned juices. And, most importantly let not those ‘fat-free’ levels laugh it off at you; they are secretly loaded with a truck full of sugar.

To further fine tune your PCOS diet; build up on smart snacking habits. Open a packet of unsalted peanuts rather than salted potato chips. Having a tantrum with the sweet tooth? Smoothen it out with tidbits of dark chocolate.  Rely on water (and water alone) to quench your thirst.  Choose this essential and harmless liquid to curb down your soda and soft drink pangs entirely.

 Eating a little consciously can take you a long way to get rid of PCOS. Top up your dietary efforts with your regular exercise alongside your treatment, and there’s no reason why your hormones won’t fall into place along with your life.
