Weight Loss
By Foras Aje, Mon Dec 26th
Weight Loss: The All Natural way without Gimmicks If you type up Weight Loss in a keyword tracker tool or in asearch engine like Google, you will be alarmed to see how manysearches in a day are being done on this subject alone. Takewww.submitexpress.com for example, put 'weight loss' in theirword tracking device; you will see that on a daily basis, morethan 5000 searches are being done on how to lose weight. However, this shouldn't be alarming, I mean the average persondoes have the desire to be liked, sought after and popular. Thismight explain why we are so captivated with celebrities andperhaps why we at times blindly follow whatever fad or trendthey might propagate in the quest to lose weight and be slimmer,sometimes at the cost of our own health.
An observation of Nature will show that no animal free ofcaptivity is upholstered with excess weight and are oft timesvery fit, agile and sharp. This is because unlike man, allanimals adhere to the simple laws of nature to maintain healthwhich include eating the right foods for your type and gettingadequate exercise. Well these are the basic laws, others mightinclude getting sufficient rest, getting sunshine, interactingwith others. There are so many myths and fads that promise to aid you inlosing weight that when they are intelligently dissected willmake you wonder what ever made you think to give them a shot,which is part of the reasons why I am writing this to inform youthat as the slogan of my site on drugless healing says: "if oneway is true, it is the way of nature".Moreover, Nature bows atno alter, seeks neither praise nor applause, she only asks for ahearing, my friends. For weight loss, your best bet will be to embrace the threelimbs of Naturopathy: -Proper Exercise -Proper Diet -Positive Thinking. Now I will explain each one in brief detail: PROPER EXERCISE: Now, there was a time, like almost everyone, that I assumed bigand inflated muscles meant fitness and health. Wrong. Maybe itmight depict strength-to a degree and that, for only a while,but you ask anybody about one of the greatest martial artists ofall time, Bruce Lee, here was a guy who was said to do athousand (1000) push-ups and other feats of strength and anypicture of him shows he was not a blown up mass of musclewaiting to atrophy and deflate as is the case with most fitnessexperts and body-builders using artificial supplements, I meanlook at the agedness depicted across their faces most of thetime. This leads one to conclude that for exercise, basic Aerobic-withoxygen-exercises (such as walking, jogging, and dancing) andAnaerobic-without oxygen-exercises (such as push ups, pull-ups,dips, using the ab-wheel and weight lifting for body builders)can be sufficient without the use of synthetic products. Forthose who want an exercise for the mind as well as the body,Yoga definitely is unmatched. From my experience, if you were to do the Sun Salutations(hailed in Yoga, Martial Arts and African Wrestling as the 'bestexercise for humans') which have been passed down from centurieswith a proper and sensible diet, which I will be explainingsoon, you are well on your way to weight loss and strength. Some Indians perform about a 100 plus rounds of this marvelousexercise on a daily basis and have immense fitness, strength,agility and virility. Add some other poses like the inversions(Shoulder-Stand), Forward Bends (Head to Knee Pose), Backwardbends, Balancing Poses (arguably the best exercises to tone thearms, abdomen and restore a sense of balance and self confidencein humans who practice them) and you are bound to see theimmense results. Speaking of emulating celebrities, well did youknow Sting, Madonna, Russell Simmons, Beyonce and Prince allpractice some form of Yoga and need I mention how fit and goodthey look? I could go on and on about Abdominal exercises and BreathingExercises of the Yoga genre (which in the case of the latter isalso EXTREMELY effective for weight loss) but that will beanother subject in itself, the bottom line is: in my opinion,exercises that use the body's weight for resistance such asYoga, Calisthenics and Pilates are arguably the best for thehuman body. Have you ever seen a chimpanzee lifting rocks repeatedly? Yetthat distant cousin of humans can rip a door off a car and iseasily 8 times stronger than an average modern day human. Still,if we share about 98% DNA with this primate (as well as otherapes), its evidence to make one wonder how much healthier andfit we would be by adhering and living as close as possible toNature's laws of diet and exercise. PROPER DIET -"You are what you eat" (Anonymous) -"Let your foods be your medicine
and your medicine your food"(Hippocrates, the father of medicine) -"Every herb bearing seed and every tree bearing fruit with seedin it shall be yours for food" (Gen 1:29) From these radical quotes above, it should be plain to see thatmost modern day meals and mixtures are totally against Nature'sintent for us as humans for fitness, agility and strength. Itwill be safe to say that if you want to lose weight, re-readthese three quotes and the proper diet will stare you right inthe face: Fruits and Vegetables. Admittedly, and you can take this from a guy who was a raw veganfor several months,(Now, I mostly fast and eat mono meals offruit and raw or cooked vegetables every other day) that mightbe kind of hard to accomplish or adhere to. Well, if youapproach it the wrong way, being radical in nature and as withall things that don't have a strong foundation, you may be boundto fail. The good news is there are several books on the subject of thiskind of a diet and though adequately addressed in the coree-book of my site, you can type up Vegan Diets, Raw Vegan Diets,Vegetarianism in any search engine to be educated-to a degree-on the subject. I have experimented with each of the three kindsof diets and have been on the Standard American diet and am nowof the firm belief that the first two and maybe the third ifdone sensibly and wisely are the best for humans, period! I touched on the subjects of internal cleanliness and non-animalproduct diets in my article available in my blog and somearticle directories under the title "Is a Low-Carb, High Proteindiet the best for weight loss?" but I will briefly state againthat based on the quotes above, and the facts that this diet hasbeen proven countless times to be the best (Ask BillPearlman-four times Mr. Universe winner!), without the need formuch of an argument, a diet free of animal products is simplythe best for humans. For an idea of a daily menu, you can look for my article "How toCure Acne in 10 days" in some of the major article directoriesonline, last time Google did its spider crawl, it came up inmost of them but I also put in my blog for my readers just incase. I'll leave you with this factor to consider though on thesubject of proper diet, based on the anthropological approach ofseveral authors of Naturopathy, and from simple observations, weas primates, just like our distant cousins, the great apes, arefrugivores, eaters of mainly fruits and green leaves and itcannot be a co-incidence that these substances make up themucus-less or alkaline forming foods that even science hasproven to be the best for human life and of course, weight loss. POSITIVE THINKING: Some quotes from perhaps the most rugged book ever put together,that being the Bible, bring to mind just how important it is tothink positively-and wisely so-in any endeavor one isundertaking. "As a man thinks in his heart; so is he..." and"Guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life". Thatstated, what you constantly think over and over is eventuallywhat comes to pass. The mind has such powers that are beyond human comprehension attimes, but according to the author of the "Power of PositiveThinking", Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, "You are what you are nowbased on your thoughts five years ago and will be in five yearswhat you constantly think of yourself now." Although one's thoughts are very important, without taking thesteps to act on them (of course when they are constructive andpositive) they do end up being a waste, but your reading thisarticle does depict a desire to want to improve yourself be itthrough weight loss or any other factor. Like with any journey in life, of course, you will have timeswhen you may want to give up, lose faith or focus andconsequently get off the path to success, which may explain whymost people fail at diets and fads in the quest of losingweight, well, my friend, you will have to literally tune yourthinking to be positive so as to overcome the doubts and fearsas you go about accomplishing your goals. It honestly will beeasier applying the two other limbs of drugless healing abovefor weight loss as they do go hand-in-hand. In conclusion, forget the fads and hypes. For a healing programto be successful at anything, especially weight loss, it mustcover the three limbs of health: diet, exercise and positivethinking. It is my hope that this article will show you how tochoose the best methods of attaining not only weight loss, butfitness and health on the inside and out.
