Tips to help lose those extra pounds
Lose weight by helping your metabolism to work more optimally
As the years go by, our metabolism slows down, and we begin to gain weight. That is why we need to work more on balancing our bodies.
Here I give you some tips that will help your body function better, and therefore, it will be reflected in your physical appearance.
Walk
Walk 30 to 60 minutes a day without stopping at a speed that makes you break a slight sweat. Walking is low-impact and gentle on the body, so it's even suitable for people with arthritis or overweight. Walking in nature is especially good for your mental health. Studies show that it increases mood and creativity. If your condition is not very good, you can start with 10 minutes a day and increase by 5 or 10 minutes every week.
Drink hot water or tea throughout the day.
Hot water is like an elixir of health in traditional medicines. Drinking hot water helps detoxify the body and improve your metabolism. The amount of water you drink is not as important as how often you drink. Try to take a few warm or hot water sips every half hour. You can add a few drops of lemon and a pinch of pink salt to keep you hydrated.
Gharshana
Gharshana is an easy and inexpensive home spa treatment that fights fat. This type of massage helps to energize and detoxify the body. It is specifically designed to help weight loss, cellulite, and water retention by improving lymphatic drainage and circulation. Dry massage helps remove toxins and fats from your body and stimulates digestion. You can see the instructions here: https://chopra.com/articles/garshana-detoxify-at-home-with-ayurvedic-skin-brushing
Eliminate or reduce empty calorie foods
The following foods only make you fat and contribute little to your health: Processed foods, sodas, alcoholic beverages, bottled juices, sweets, sugar, fried foods, and bread. Also, if you eat these foods at the beginning of the day, you will have more cravings and eat more than you need.
Eat at least one cup of vegetables with all your meals.
Vegetables are a very high source of vitamins and minerals and don't have as many calories. Therefore, they do not make you fat. Vegetables are bulky, giving you the feeling of being full and giving your brain time to register what you've eaten.
Let your digestive system rest
We constantly give our digestive system work, giving it food when it hasn't finished digesting the previous food. We frequently eat because we are bored or just because it is time to eat or because the food looks good.
Allow at least 4 hours before eating again. Nighttime is when your body detoxifies, so if you eat something too heavy or too late, your body will be working on digesting that food instead of detoxing overnight. At night eat something light and let it be 4 hours before going to sleep. That way, the calories won't accumulate in your body.
Sometimes being overweight can be caused by a food allergy or another disease such as hypothyroidism. Ayurveda is a system of natural medicine that can help you create balance in your body through individualized recommendations based on diet, lifestyle, and herbs. In Ayurveda, it is believed that we are all different; therefore, we must be treated uniquely, unlike allopathic medicine, in which the same treatment is given to people with the same condition. Your body can heal naturally. Let it do it.
