How To Work Towards A Disease Free Society

A leading holistic health therapist and one of the world’s internationally acclaimed and acknowledged fitness icons - Mickey Mehta has today launched his world-wide initiative in creating awareness towards a disease free society.Through his website (www.mickeymehtahbf.com) and health centre’s, the 46 year old Mickey’s goal, is to communicate to people how they can work towards a disease free society. Integrating the philosophies and essence of Zen, yoga and Vedas to create life altering awareness on holistic and natural practices in staying healthy physically, psychologically and spiritually, Mickey’s holistic viewpoint has helped many people onto a new path towards self empowerment.

Good health is the total integration of mind, body and soul Mickey informs. Health encompasses five dimensions of wellness; physical, physiological, psychological, emotional and spiritual. Good health and fitness is not a fad, rather a pre-requisite for a healthy life.

One has to stop the constant chase for unrealistic goals that cause great harm to the physical and mental health. These not only deteriorate the quality of our existence, but also lead to degeneration, disintegration and erosion. To counter this, one must begin to heal oneself with an integrated approach. Good nutrition, appropriate foods, regular moderate exercises, yoga, meditation and good rest are essential to remove all energy blocks.

Work-outs need to be done on a daily basis with slow conscious breathing, stretching through yoga, pilates, dynamic suryanamaskar and callisthenics. All these will improve one’s sense of equilibrium, co-ordination and will give a new lease of life to the body in it’s entirety. They also have therapeutic benefits - control cholesterol, help to reduce weight, normalize blood pressure and improve heart and lung function.

If every individual follows this way of life diligently, his mission to succeed in creating a disease free society abundant with love, peace and harmony, will not be far away. Mickey is defining health and fitness and in doing so is creating awareness towards a disease free society.

Suppressing Appetite With Patches

Hoodia Gordonii is a plant, in order to make the plant readily available to the general public, manufacturers either grind the whole plant into a powder or use alcohol to concentrate the active ingredients. The finished product is then sold in capsules, tablets or liquid form and most recently in the form of the ‘Hoodia patch’.

Hoodia Gordonii in its natural form has an appetite suppressing effect, which can be used as an aid to lose weight. Hoodia Gordonii is a succulent that resembles a ‘cactus’ and grows wild in the deserts of Africa. Hoodia patches are just one of the many Hoodia Gordonii products available.

The ‘Hoodia patch’ technique called ‘transdermal process’ is used through the skin. ‘Hoodia nicotine patch’ is another aid for those people who are trying to quit smoking. ‘Hoodia patches’ are aids for those who are trying to lose weight.

Many people prefer a transdermal patch because they can put it on in the morning and forget about it. The ‘Hoodia patch’, like other transdermal patches, uses a time-released mechanism so that a small amount of the active ingredient is released into the blood circulation system throughout the day. If the patch comes off, it must be replaced with another one. Ideally a person should be able to use one ‘Hoodia patch’ on a daily basis, replacing one for another every 24 hours.

Busy people may not remember when their next meal will be. ‘Hoodia patches’ may offer a solution for these people. Hoodia suppresses thirst as well as appetite. In order to avoid dehydration, it is important to remember to drink plenty of water, even if one is not thirsty. There are no known side effects associated with Hoodia. The Hoodia patch does not contain drugs, so disposal or skin-to-skin contact should not be a problem like it is with nicotine and hormonal patches.

Before jumping on to a weight loss program consult your doctor as it’s advisable to reduce calories gradually.

Treating IBS With Natural Remedies

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic disorder characterized by reoccurring abdominal pain and intermittent diarrhoea, which often alternates with constipation. IBS most commonly affects people between the ages of 20 and 30 and is twice as common in women as in men. IBS is known by a variety of other terms: spastic colon, spastic colitis, mucous colitis, nervous diarrhoea, nervous colon and nervous or functional bowel.

Causes and natural treatments of irritable bowel syndrome is a gastrointestinal motility disorder for which there is no organic or structural cause. Since the symptoms of IBS can mimic other disorders such as hypothyroidism, IBS is diagnosed when all other local and systemic conditions have been ruled out.

Characteristic symptoms of IBS include recurrent abdominal pain, abdominal pain relieved by defecation, disordered bowel habit, including constipation, diarrhoea, or an alternation between the two, and abdominal distension and bloating.

IBS is also associated with non-gastrointestinal conditions such as headache, low back pain, arthritis, non-cardiac chest pain, difficult urination and fibromyalgia.

There are currently many possible treatment choices for patients with IBS to try, and research is continually being done to find new effective medications. Nonetheless, many of the commonly used drugs to treat IBS have not been definitively proven to be superior to placebo. An extensive review by Klein of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials performed between 1966 and 1988 found that none of the studies provided sound statistical evidence to suggest that any of the medications used were beneficial in treating IBS, chiefly because of poor trial design and statistical analyses in the published studies.

More recent improvements in the design of trials has yielded evidence to support the use of smooth muscle relaxants and antidepressants in pain-predominant IBS, use of the anti diarrhoeal loperamide for diarrhoea, and the use of fibre for constipation.

The emergence of combination medications, as well as the increased use of neurotransmitter regulators, will most likely enhance the efficiency of future IBS treatments.

Bowtrol is the only natural remedy that is clinically proven effective for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. If you are suffering from constipation, diarrhoea, or both in alteration, abdominal pain, bloating, and heartburn more than once a month, you are not alone. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (also called IBS) affects about 25 million to 50 million people in US alone.

Hoodia Gordinii: Appetite Suppressant Herb

Hoodia, introduced into the market very recently in 2004 is a natural appetite suppressant, which is gaining attention as a powerful tool in the struggle against weight loss and obesity.

Hoodia Gordonii resembles a cactus, but is actually a succulent from the Kalahari Desert of southern Africa. Hoodia Gordonii is not a drug but a plant - a herb. Some pharmaceuticals companies are trying to isolate the “P57″ appetite suppressing molecule to create a pharmaceutical drug in the near future, but the Gordonii variant of Hoodia only has the appetite suppressant characteristics.

Hoodia sort of fools your brain into making you think that you have eaten making you feel that your tummy is full. Hoodia may work very quickly or may take a longer period to work, but as no two people are the same - this factor will depend on your inner make-up.

Hoodia Gordonii has seemingly no known side effects but is safe for all to take. Centuries ago, people used Hoodia to stay hunger and thirst during long journeys in the deserts of the Kalahari.

But how does Hoodia work?
Hoodia Gordonii contains a molecule called as P57, which acts on the nerve cells like the glucose molecule and tells the brain that the tummy is full. A clinical research performed in Britain showed that Hoodia gordonii could reduce appetite by several hundreds of calories per day.

OK - so it works but how quickly Hoodia will work?
Some people feel the effects just after a short time of an hour or so, while others don’t feel the effects until two to three weeks have pasted.

The main effects of taking Hoodia Gordonii will include:
Feeling full more quickly.
A delay in the time after eating before hunger sets in again.
General feeling of well being and contentment.
Reduced interest in food.
As Hoodia Gordonii helps reduce calorie intake, this mean that it will help you in your efforts to reach your ideal weight.

This way, you’ll get the best bang for your buck in the least amount of time. Perform each exercise in succession. After completing one movement, immediately continue to the next one. After you’ve completed all the movements, perform them one more time. Attempt 20-25 repetitions of each movement. Don’t worry if you can’t perform all the reps — it will come. If you’re a beginner, take your time and go at your own pace.”
