Reduce Weight by Natural Ways

Obesity or overweight is a condition characterized by excessive deposition or storage of fat in adipose tissues. 
Over the years it has been a common problem all over the world.

Ayurveda describes eight types of bodies, which are considered bad. Out of the eight, the two that are widely
 explained are: very thin body and very fat body. It has been proved that out these two those who are very
 fat have most diseases and troubles. This is because the extra fat puts a strain on the heart, kidneys, liver and
 the joints such as the hips, knees and ankles. Over weight persons are susceptible to several diseases like
 high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, gout, liver and gall bladder disorders.The chief cause of obesity or 
 over-weight is often overeating, irregular eating habits and not following the rules of eating including improper
 mixing of food items in one meal.

     frequently.
  • One should avoid intake of too much salt. Salt may be a factor for increasing the body weight.

     non-vegetarian foods should also be avoided.
  • Spices like dry ginger, cinnamon, black pepper etc. are good for loosing weight and can be used in 
    a number of ways.
  • Rice and potato which contain a lot of carbohydrates should be avoided among cereals wheat is good.
  • Vegetables like bitter gourd (Karela), and bitter variety of drumstick are useful for loosing weight.
  • Taking of honey is an excellent home remedy for obesity. It mobilizes the extra deposited fat in the body
     and puts it into circulation, which is utilized as energy for normal functions. One should start with small
     quantity of about 10 GMs. or a tablespoonful to be taken with hot water. It is good to take it in early 
    morning. A teaspoonful of fresh lemon juice may also be added.
  • Fasting on honey and lime juice is highly beneficial in the treatment of obesity without the loss of 
    energy and appetite. In this mode of treatment, one teaspoonful of fresh honey should be mixed with
     a juice of half a lime in a glass of lukewarm water. It can be taken several times in a day at regular 
    intervals.
  • Cabbage is considered to be an effective remedy for loosing weight. This vegetable inhibits the 
    conversion of sugar and other carbohydrates into fat. Hence, it is of great value in weight reduction.
     It can be taken raw or cooked.
  • Exercise is an important part of weight reduction plan. It helps to use up calories stored in body
     as fat. In addition, it also relieves tension and tones up the muscles of the body. Walking is the
     best exercise to begin with and may be followed by running, swimming, rowing.

     Smaller meals at a regular interval of 4 to 5 hours will keep your metabolism high and prevent
     your body from converting the food you intake into fat. You must also include regular exercise
     in your daily routine to help enhance weight reduction.
