What are these products efficacy rate, what are side effects, no products making company tell us. They claims 100% guarantee and targets obese people. These products efficacy rate is very low around 2-5% and side effects on health are more.

Most of the products available in market contain Garcinia Cambogia extract, Green coffee bean, Green tea.

Garcinia Combogia:  The active ingredient in this is hydroxicitric acid , which blocks the formation of fat in body add reduces the appetite. But still it is not very effective in weight loss and its long term effect may cause hepatotoxicity or liver impairment, and different kind of deficiencies in body which is very harmful for health.

Excess amount of caffeine may cause addiction, sleep disturbances, increases heat in body and lead to hair fall and greying hair, also drain out calcium from bones.

10 Mistakes That Are Slowing Your Weight Loss Journey

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , , /by

Here are common mistakes people make when trying to lose weight.

Losing weight takes a lot of effort and willpower. While on a weight loss journey we are exposed to all kinds of weight loss tips. It can be tough to figure out which suggestions are actually helpful. We often make mistakes that may be doing more harm than good.

10 Mistakes you are making that are slowing down your weight loss:

1. Stressing

One of the most neglected causes of weight gain is stress. Experiencing uncomfortable moods can affect your metabolism and may even cause you to overeat. Besides usual stress, trying to lose weight may also cause stress. Your relationship with yourself and your moods have a bigger impact on your weight than you may think.

2. Skipping meals

What times of the day we eat also has a huge impact on our weight. In order to achieve a calorie-deficit diet, one might resort to skipping meals. This can make your weight loss slow down significantly. It not only makes you overeat when you do eat but it also slows down your metabolism.

3. Cutting out fibre

Many weight-loss diets encourage you to cut out ‘carbs’. Most foods rich in carbs are rich in fibre. Fibre may be advertised as useless but that is incorrect. It is extremely important for the healthy working of our digestive system. It also helps us feel fuller for longer. Go for healthy and less processed fibre-rich foods such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

4. Not eating enough protein

When trying to lose weight, we assume that a high-protein diet is only required if we are going to the gym. Although a protein-rich diet is necessary if going to the gym, it is also encouraged for all other kinds of weight loss journeys. Protein provides us with energy, boosts metabolism, betters our muscles’ health, and so on.

5. Being inconsistent

Be it our diet or workout routine, inconsistency instantly affects our weight. Lack of proper routine can leave the body confused. It is important to follow a proper routine. Plan out your routine for the week in advance which may help you to stay motivated.

6. Not researching enough

Lack of proper research might drive you to make decisions that may be causing more harm to your body than good. Lack of proper guidance and research can cause health complications. It is ideal to seek reliable guidance when going on a weight loss journey.

7. Eating packed ‘healthy’ foods

As the awareness of eating healthy increases, so does the availability of ready-to-eat healthy foods. Healthy packed foods are low-calorie and diet-friendly. However, do make them ready-to-eat and storable, there are packed with various preservatives, sugar, sodium, and other components that might be unfit and unhealthy.

8. Not drinking enough water

Our body often confuses dehydration and hunger. The feeling of thirst is often confused with being hungry. This causes unnecessary eating. However, drinking ample water can help speed up your weight loss journey. Water boosts metabolism, energy levels, muscle health, blood flow, and many other factors.

9. Focusing on just exercising

One may equate extensive exercising to being enough to lose weight but that is incorrect. In order to lose weight, you must be mindful of your lifestyle, what you eat and how much you exercise. Over-exercising cannot excuse an unhealthy and high-calorie diet. Your body needs healthy food to lose weight and also gain enough energy to exercise.

10. Not sleeping enough

As discussed above, our lifestyle has a huge role to play in our weight loss journey. Lack of sleep can reduce your productivity and energy levels while working out. A poor sleep cycle can make it hard for you to stay motivated. You are encouraged to get at least 7-8 hours of undisturbed sleep daily.

In conclusion, eating less and exercising more is not as easy as you may think. Our bodies are extremely complicated and intricate and so are working on it. A lack of proper or reliable tips can make losing weight harder. It is important to do your research before going ahead with a suggestion. We also encourage you to speak to an expert so you are following the correct way to lose weight.

Exercises that the expert recommends to reduce butt fat

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

Losing fat from the butt is a common fitness goal. There are many ways a person can achieve this.

1. Sprint for lower-body strength

Running on the treadmill or on solid ground will burn calories, rev up your metabolism and strengthen your quadriceps, calves, glutes, and hamstrings.

How to do it: Run at a high speed on a treadmill or flat ground for 30 seconds, rest for 30 seconds, and repeat. Continue this for at least 10 minutes. You should be running fast enough that you are tired, but not completely exhausted, by the end of each 30-second sprint.

2. Bodyweight Squats

Squats are one of the best exercises to reduce the buttocks. Turn up the intensity on your legs with high-rep bodyweight squats. Do five sets of 20 reps.

How to do it: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Squat down, like you’re sitting down on a chair, bending your knees, and sinking your butt down. Try to keep your torso as upright as possible. Go as low as you can and then stand back up straight.

3. Lunges

The lunge may seem simple, but it’s an effective move for toning up your rear.

How to do it: Start standing with your feet shoulder-width apart. Take a big step forward with one leg. Drop your back knee down until it’s an inch above the ground.

Step up with your back foot so that your feet are together again, and then lunge forward with the other leg. Keep alternating legs until you’ve done 10 lunges on each leg.

4. Stair Climbing

Step away from elevators and escalators! Climb the stairs whenever you can to burn calories and improve fitness. Climbing steps employs more muscles than walking, jogging, or running on a flat surface. Climbing steps involve glutes and provide accurate conditioning of quads and hamstrings too. It is one of the best exercises to reduce butt.

How to do it: You can use a stepping machine in a gym or use stairs even when there is a lift available. Plus you can go for a hike.

Don’t forget to keep a check on what you eat

Nutrition plays an important role in losing fat and a simple method to lose fat is to be in a calorie deficit, which means consuming fewer calories than you are burning. It doesn’t matter how many kilometres you run, how many squats and lunges you do, to lose fat you need to be in a calorie deficit which cannot be achieved without focusing on your nutrition.

Mental Health and Creativity: A talk with Psychologist Paolo Grampa from Alice Onlus

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

As Mental Health Awareness Week falls in May, we decided to create an editorial partnership with the Alice Onlus Association and the psychotherapy psychologist Paolo Grampa.

The goal of this article is to provide information and tips about mental health, to help our community face the struggles that we all encounter in our lives, related to fears, insecurities, and periods of stress.

It’s important to talk and keep the conversations around mental health going, especially in this particularly difficult period. Let us know any comments or feedback you have about this topic in the comments. We’re in this together!

So let’s hear what Psychologist Paolo has to say on this topic:

The quote from the first Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr Brock Chisholm ‘without mental health there can be no true physical health’ [1], is now widely known. However, although it is relatively simple to understand the meaning of this statement, it is more complex to clearly define what mental health is. I sought help from the Ministry of Health of my country (Italy), which defines mental health as: “the state of emotional and psychological well-being in which the individual can exploit his cognitive or emotional abilities, exercise his function within of society, respond to the daily needs of everyday life, establish satisfying and mature relationships with others, constructively participate in changes in the environment adapt to external conditions and internal conflicts ”

Faced with this definition and in the light of the still current COVID-19 pandemic in progress (with all its implications of social isolation, restriction of personal freedom, economic and social repercussions …), I believe it is easy for each of us to affirm that: in the last year, there have been times when our mental health has faltered, been tested, or suffered severe blows.

Fears, insecurities, and anxieties about work and personal life, difficulties related to the loss of contact with friends and loved ones, forced and prolonged coexistence, numerous losses of all kinds, are just some of the causes of increased anxiety and panic symptoms, moments of strong discomfort, difficulty in controlling anger and aggression and variations in motivation to work.

What can help people cope in this situation?
One of the many resources available to us is certainly creativity. By this term I mean not a single act, linked to an innate gift and of a few. Rather, the result of the complementarity between deduction and intuition, between reason and imagination, between emotion and reflection, between divergent and convergent thinking .

— Creativity is a process accessible to all, which makes it possible to restructure apparently unchangeable situations, which risk turning into quicksand for the mind, in a new and original, unprecedented, and fruitful way. —

Every day, in my work as a psychotherapist, I meet people who, immobilized by different degrees of suffering and discomfort, undertake the challenge of creating something new and good for themselves and their future.

And it is precisely in the moment of meeting, of listening to others and of confrontation, of feeling seen, understood, welcomed but not pitied or reassured with false slogans such as the now-famous “everything will be fine”, that creativity can be restarted.

The different perspectives provided by the gaze of the other, the firm but sweetly weaning attitude, and the perspective of a balanced assumption of responsibility are the founding ingredients of a good process of creativity.

So welcome creativity, not just the one aimed at the production of goods, advertising, merch, and items that can be monetized. Make way for creativity as a human resource that allows us to once again raise our gaze towards a future that can be imaginable and dreamable again.

Insight: Fear of the Future

We asked the community what was the greatest difficulty/fear encountered during this period and the answer was, “fear of the future.”

So how can we overcome this fear when we feel blocked; when we fail to make a decision or the weight of what will happen seems to be too difficult to bear?

Let’s hear what Psychologist Paolo Grampa suggests:

— The most powerful weapon we have at our disposal is relationships; to face our fears, anxieties, and insecurities, it is good not to be alone. Affection and good relationships with which to share our thoughts allow us to deflate our fears, making us feel less alone.

— We must remember that fear is a basic emotion for humans. Therefore it has a precious value: it allows us to proceed with caution. We can educate ourselves, therefore, to transform fear into something that makes us be careful and thoughtful instead of blocking ourselves.

— Being afraid must become the stimulus to consider new paths and different perspectives.

And you? How are you experiencing this period? Do you have any strategies to regain personal peace and balance?
Write us in the comments and we will answer you with the support from the Psychologist.

What is the Alice Onlus Association?

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , /by

It is a day of reckoning for the Indian-origin breath exercise Yoga. After careful deliberation, the Indian government could convince the international body United Nations to celebrate the beautiful yogic exercise to establish a state of sound health in people. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) definition, the state of sound health can be achieved only when there is a constructive balance between body and mind. The premises of yoga begin from there. Through a series of breathing and physical exercise, it brings harmony between the mind and the body. It does not matter whether a yogi is from a different faith or not. What matters is how these exercises are done by that person.

Growing Popularity

Ever since the beginning of the 1980s, people from India have taken the principles of yoga to different countries and demonstrated to people living there. Over 30+ years, there has been a steady growth in the number of people who practice yoga at home and in the workplace. Many masters of this primordial exercise have customized the principles of yoga to meet the requirements of people in different countries. While transforming the basic tenets of yoga exercise to meet the needs of the customers, these masters have kept the cultural sensitivities in mind. These masters have been hugely responsible for the growing popularity of this exercise that aims to restore the healthy balance between body and mind. Other countries of the world have slowly begun to acknowledge the positive effects of body-mind exercise. Even the most conservative countries from the Gulf region have begun to embrace the body-mind exercise to reap its health benefits. This is especially true of countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Designation of International Yoga Day

Immediately after coming to power, the Indian government under the leadership of Narendra Modi took steps to elicit the views of other countries about Yoga. Over 3 months, the government took the feedback about the popularity of this ancient exercise. Armed with the huge volume of data, Narendra Modi addressed the United Nations General Assembly and requested the world countries to support the Indian government’s initiative to spread the message of yoga as an exercise to more countries. He told that the more than 6000-year-old Indian body-mind exercise can be used as a holistic medicine in a stricter sense. He showed the member countries the statistics of the positive change this exercise brings in the lives of people after adopting it. The member countries hurdled over it and gave their nod for designating a day for Yoga internationally. Henceforth, the world body ratified an agreement to designate June 21 as the International Yoga Day.

First International Yoga Day

On June 21, 2015, India joined the growing number of world countries to take an oath to further the cause of yoga for the establishment of a world where there are lesser health issues. On that day, the Government of India unraveled a website dedicated to the cause of yoga. It is maintained by the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India. On this day, various yoga instructors world over conduct classes, seminars, and practical sessions on a yearly basis for the benefit of the general public. This is done free of cost so that people get a glimpse of yoga. In India, people are organizing a large yoga exercise on a grand scale so that people from all walks of life can drop in and participate in it. The followers of Ram Dev also organize big events to conduct yoga exercises for the benefit of people on this day every year. Other spiritual gurus also do their part on this day to spread the awareness of yoga in our country.

 

Here’s a Quick Way to Learn the Basic Principles of Yoga

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , /by

Yoga is a method of exercise that can be practiced by anyone. The basic principle of yoga is to use the body in a way that is free from tension and stress. It is also a healthy form of exercise.

Yoga involves three major areas of focus, the mind, the body, and the spirit. We can apply all three to our lives and achieve great health and well-being.

Yoga will focus on the mind, as it is the area of the body where concentration and mental preparation are required to perform a physical practice. The mind needs to be centered on the physical body, or the practice will not go according to plan. Meditation can focus the mind on what you are doing. It will help bring your focus to that area of the body that you want to concentrate on.

By meditating, you can open your mind to the world outside yourself. It allows you to focus on what is useful for you. It helps prepare the mind for work or play. It is very helpful when you are stressed and may be ready to cry.

The next part of yoga is to perform physical practice. The practice is going to bring the focus to the various body parts of the body. Some yoga practices include the balancing of the body as well as balancing the spine. The focus is on the strength of the different areas of the body. This strength can be used for the well-being of the person.

The focus on the different body parts allows the mind to have time to calm down and be able to focus on a single part of the body, which can be a mental problem or simply relaxes the body. If the body feels tense, it can release the tension through the various body parts.

Through these steps, the mind can be relaxed enough to concentrate on other things. The body will then feel free to do what it wants, such as using your hands to roll a ball back and forth.

Most people experience stiffness in their bodies as they age. A practice such as yoga can help avoid stiffness and improve mobility.

The third aspect of yoga practice is the focus on the spirit. The mental focus and the spiritual aspects of yoga can both bring peace of mind and comfort to the person.

Through the spiritual side of yoga practice, the focus is on maintaining balance and harmony with the natural world. Through the breathing, the breathing, and meditation, the focus can be focused on calmness and contemplation.

Nature can bring us closer to God. Nature can give us clarity and insight. Through yoga, the focus can be on peace, tranquility, and a calm mind.

Scientists agree to this theory. Numerous studies have found that physically strong people were happier with their appearance, more confident, and less anxious than their physically weaker counterparts. They also had greater confidence and a more sociable personally.

Research also suggests that strong, muscular individuals look more charismatic and trustworthy in the eyes of their peers. They receive more positive feedback from their colleagues and friends, and feel better when looking in the mirror.

Bodybuilding will improve the way you are perceived by others. It will also help you look the way you want. Every set, every rep, and every minute you work out represents a reached goal. What better way to build the foundation of a successful life?

Kangoo Jump is an amazing and safe approach to cardio and core muscle work. It saves your joints and improves your endurance for all fitness activities. It is also a great way to train runners to strengthen and lengthen their stride.

Kangoo Jumps is a type of exercise that involves using rebound shoes with springs attached to the bottom. Here are some potential benefits of Kangoo Jumps:

  1. Low-Impact: Kangoo Jumps are a low-impact exercise, which means they put less stress on your joints compared to high-impact exercises like running or jumping jacks. This makes them a great option for people with joint pain or those who want to reduce their risk of injury.
  2. Improves Cardiovascular Health: Kangoo Jumps can help to improve cardiovascular health by increasing your heart rate and oxygen intake. This can lead to improved endurance, stamina, and overall fitness.
  3. Builds Strength: Kangoo Jumps require the use of multiple muscle groups, including your legs, core, and upper body. This can help to improve strength and muscle tone.
  4. Burns Calories: Kangoo Jumps can be an effective way to burn calories and lose weight. According to some estimates, Kangoo Jumps can burn up to 800 calories per hour.
  5. Fun and Motivating: Many people find Kangoo Jumps to be a fun and motivating form of exercise. The rebound shoes can make you feel like you’re bouncing on a trampoline, which can be a fun way to get your heart pumping.

Overall, Kangoo Jumps can be a great way to get in shape, improve your cardiovascular health, and have fun at the same time. However, as with any new exercise, it’s important to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity to avoid injury.

Rebounding is an exercise that:

  • Reduces your body fat
  • Firms your arms, legs, thighs, abdomen, and hips
  • Increases your agility
  • Strengthens your muscles overall
  • Provides an aerobic effect for your heart
  • Rejuvenates your body when it’s tired
  • Puts you in a state of health, fitness and well being

People who rebound find they are able to work longer, sleep better, and feel less tense and nervous. The effect is not just psychological. The action of bouncing up and down against gravity, without trauma to the musculoskeletal system, is one of the most beneficial aerobic exercises ever developed.
