5 Causes of weight gain!

Filed under Health, Lifestyle

Weight gain is probably one problem which is giving many people sleepless nights these days. With increased awareness about weight problems, people have come to know that how dangerous their excess can be for them. So rather than gaining weight and later repenting it, here are 5 causes of weight gain, so read on and try to avoid them.

  1. Crash dieting: a few years back women swore by it. Whenever any function or event is nearing, just don’t eat and lose weight to look slim at the event-this is a big myth. Doing crash dieting and starving yourself would initially make you lose a few kilos, but after that you will not be able to reduce any weight because it would slow down our metabolism and a result you will not be able to lose any more weight.
  2. Stressful life: living under constant stressful conditions is another major factor which contributes to weight gain. When you are stressed out your body starts storing fats. Also most people, especially women tend to binge on food when they are under stress, which again increases weight.
  3. Erratic sleeping pattern: sleeping for 6-8 hours a day is not only essential for your beauty, but also for maintaining your weight. If you suffer from lack of sleep then better seek medical help as it could lead to weight gain. Also, if you work late at night, try to get the adequate sleep at least in the day.
  4. Living on restaurant food: no matter how bad it tastes or much you are bored of it, a home cooked meal is any day better than food bought from outside. If you like certain dishes at the restaurant, try to make them at home yourself. When you do that, you will use fresh oil, vegetable and other ingredients which would account for a healthy meal. You never know what type of oil or vegetables are being used in your neighborhood restaurant.
  5. Sweet tooth: ok so you like sweets, but try to control your urge and have them only once in a while. Sugar contains glucose which gives you instant energy. So when you consume sweets, you are taking in a lot of calories and the more you take the more time it’ll take you to burn them off.

Five Tips which will Help You to Tackle Stress!

Filed under Health, Lifestyle

I think writing on this theme would be the most appropriate as these days people have all the reasons to be stressed about- recession, pay cuts, job lay off, less income and what not! One is bound to get stressed in such situations. It is very important to tackle stress as it could prove very dangerous for your health. Here are a few ways in which you can handle stress.

Identify the causes of stress and avoid them: the best way to tackle stress is to identify what is causing stress. Be it meeting the deadlines at office or buying the diamond necklace for your sweetheart, anything can cause stress. So try to keep such situations at bay, like devote extra time to your work or first arrange for all the funds and only then promise a gift to your beloved.

Exercise and yoga: exercising your body relieves stress and produces ‘feel good’ hormones within your body. Also doing yoga helps to keep your body and mind balanced and reduce stress by giving peace to your body and mind. So either go for long walks, jogging, and swimming or join a yoga center to relieve stress.

Pursue your hobbies: when under stress, try to do such things which give you pleasure and happiness like pursuing your hobbies. Paint, dance, read, sing, cook, do whatever pleases you. Also, you can go out and catch up with your friends if you are under stress, it will help you become normal.

Meditate: meditation is another relaxing way to keep stress at bay. Meditation makes the brain more focused and gives positive energy to the mind. A person who meditates regularly is in a better position to tackle stress and handle stressful situations with ease.

Seek medical help: if despite trying all the options your stress refuses to go away then seek medical help. There are many drugs available in the market but it’s always better to avoid self medication and seek a doctor’s opinion.

5 tips to lose some extra weight!

Filed under Health

Though a lot has been said about losing weight but certain people can never get enough of it. I am aware of lot of people who never seem to losing weight despite trying everything. Well, maybe you just haven’t tried everything yet; following are 5 simple and easy tricks which would help you shed the extra pounds.

  • Bake, don’t fry: first step is to bake or boil your food instead of frying it. This would reduce your oil and cholesterol intake and would ultimately help you cut down on your calorie intake. You can boil veggies and sauté them in few drops of oil if you want.
  • Cut down on fizzy drinks: you don’t even realize when you drink down extra calories while having fizzy colas. These drinks contain carbonated water and are high in sugar content. So by cutting down on these drinks you cut down on unwanted weight!
  • Salads as lunch: salads make for great lunches and have fewer calories than any other type of lunch. Toss in some of your favorite veggies and any low cal dressing and your low cal lunch is ready. You can have it as much as you want till your stomach gets full.
  • Take less salt: when you have salt in your meals, the salt retains the water n your body which increases your weight. So if you want to keep a tab on your weight then take less salt in your meals.
  • Have cholesterol free butter substitutes: these days there are lot of butter substitutes in the market which tastes exactly the same but are cholesterol free. Switch to these substitutes and keep the extra fat at bay.

Mesothelioma Details!

Filed under Health

If you’re new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on news from India and world, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting I News India.

Mesothelioma, I was not at all aware from this term a few years back. During my last job my boss once told me about this and I asked him, what Mesothelioma is? I am sure that many people will also ask the same question.

My boss replied to me that Mesothelioma is a disease. I said okey, since I was not interested to know it in deep. Later on this term came into my knowledge for so many times but I just take it casually. A few days back I saw one of the website on Mesothelioma Details and then I came to know that Mesothelioma is actually a type of cancer, which is related to the exposure to asbestos.

Mesothelioma, which in fact causes malignant cells develop in the mesothelium, a protective lining that covers most of the body’s internal organs. It is primarily of three types: Pleural mesothelioma, Peritoneal mesothelioma and Pericardial mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma which is the most common form of Mesothelioma and almost more than 75% of Mesothelioma victims fall in this category.

As far as I came to know about Mesothelioma is that it is caused mainly by asbestos. You can also check the different causes of Mesothelioma. Mostly people who got affected from Mesothelioma are those who work in unsafe places, during their work they inhale asbestos particles or dust and thus they got affected.

On the other hand Mesothelioma treatments primarily depend on the extent of the spread of infection. I am not sure whether Mesothelioma is a curable disease or not, but I think it can be cured up to a level. Modern medical facilities and surgery can cure this disease.

So this is all what I came to know about it, while there are many more things still uncover from me on Mesothelioma.

Crystal Sauna A New Way of Weight Loss!

Filed under Health

If you’re new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on news from India and world, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting I News India.

I am a guy who is a bit obese and I always try to be a bit slim and lose some extra weight. The major problem with me is the lack of time. Due to this I always fail to lose weight.

Recently I have started going out after the dinner so that I can lose a bit of extra calorie and my weight can be controlled, although I am not so much overweight but still I remain conscious about the weight loss.

A few moment back I was wondering how people manage to weight loss so I surfed through lot’s of website for this information. Mean while I reached to a website www.crystalsauna.com which is providing Infrared Saunas, which can burn around 300 to 600 calories during one session.

You know that this claim of burning 300 to 600 calories per sauna session was claimed by the U.S. Army research. So we can also trust on them. Sauna is in fact a nice way to lose extra weight and I too will try to use it to become slim.

Sauna is a special type of instrument which in fact works on the principle of heating and burning the extra calories of the human body. Normally it becomes hot to the double of the room temperature and thus it provides the infrared heat to the body and this way it burns the calorie.

5 things which can help you to lose weight!

Filed under Health

If you’re new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on news from India and world, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting I News India.

If you seriously want to lose a bit of extra weight then please follow these 5 things which can help you to lose weight:

1> Take proper sleep daily:

Getting proper and timely sleep is too much crucial, if you are seriously trying to loose your extra weight. You can fix a time for going to bed. Try every night to go to the bed at the same time and at least take a sound sleep of seven hours. This will not only give you physical relief but mental as well. If you will remain in stress through out the 24 hours of the day then you won’t be able to lose weight.

2> Chew the food for sufficient time:

I know many people will consider it as a joke. They can ask me about the relationship between losing weight and chewing the food. The scientific reason behind this line is that if you don’t chew the food for the proper time then enzymes in saliva will not get the time to start the digestion process, which can affect your digestive system. Thus to lose weight try to chew the food at least 100 times before swallowing.

3> Drink enough water:

If you are doing the exercise daily to lose extra calories then only doing the exercise will not help you to lose those extra calorie. Drinking enough water will help you to lose calories. One of the benefits of drinking water is that it will break the fats and protein of your body and will also act as a stimulant to guide your brain that you are not hungry. Water also suppresses the appetite and help fluid retention too.

4> Laughter can help you to lose a bit of calorie:

Yes it is true. Laughter can help you to help the functioning of your brain along with it will give you energy. I have always seen that if I am too much stressed then I prefer to watch one comedy movie and that always boost the energy behind me. Laughter can ease the blood pressure too. So next time if you meet some one give him a nice smile it will help you to enjoy yourself and to lose a bit of extra weight too.

5> Love can help you to lose weight:

The fifth but the most important factor which can help you to lose extra weight is Love. The feeling of love is the most important medicine dose which can lose the extra calorie inside you. It is in fact my personal feeling too that you need the motivation to lose the extra weight. That motivation can be achieved from your love.

In this fast moving world we need to manage everything within the short time, so we also need to manage our body fitness with our daily routine. A life full of tension is not going to help us in any way to lose weight so be relaxed and take the weight loss process easily.

Fall Detection and GPS Tracking Wander Alerts!

Filed under Health, Technology

If you’re new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on news from India and world, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting I News India.

I stay alone in a small room in New Delhi and I always think about that if on some day I fall in my room then who will help me? Consider the scenario in which I am unable to even push the call button of my mobile phone and in that case how will I survive?

This question was hunting me for a long time and I got the solution of this question today. Today I found one website on Medical Alert, which in my views is one kind of unique site. They provide the unique services of Fall Alert, Intruders Alert, and Alert for Senior Citizens.

Senior Citizens can get the help in any panic situation by pushing the panic button, with the click of this panic button, GPS system will trace the position where help is required and medical help will be provided immediately to them.

They provide the GPS Tracking Bracelet to the senior people and with the help of this they can get on the go protection. They also provide the Fall Detection services to the older people, so that they can get the help immediately.

In addition to all these they also provide the Live Personal Reminders to the senior persons. A live person will remind them of events, doctor’s appointments and they will be there to assist them.

This is the best services I have ever seen, and I was wondering if I can be able to get these a few years back then I could have used them for my grand parents.

With the world becoming more hectic and busy, people have finally awoken and are trying to make up for the health loss. But there are so many people telling us different things about health and all of them clash. So people end up getting confused and ultimately don’t know what to believe. So here are a few health myths and truth about them for you:

Myth: Vasectomy is a painful procedure and affects a person’s sex life adversely.
Truth: According to the Marie Stopes charity, vasectomy takes only a few minutes to be done and is relatively simple and painless procedure.

Myth: Acne happens because the area is not washed properly.
Truth: Acne happens because of hormonal imbalance or stress. That is why teenagers are most affected by it. In fact, washing the area again and again can cause more acne as the body replenishes the oil washed away.

Myth: Depressed people just need to relax and chill, they’ll be fine.
Truth: Depression is an illness caused due to imbalance in brain chemicals. It is an illness and people can’t get out of it just by relaxing and feeling nice. Proper medication and counseling is required.

Myth: A lump in your breast means you have breast cancer.
Truth: Almost 80% of lumps in breast are non cancerous. Though, even in this case it is very important to consult a doctor.

Myth: Cholesterol is bad for health.
Truth: We all require cholesterol as they build cells and make vital hormones. Though, there are good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. Saturated fats in foods like meat, butter, cream etc tend to raise bad cholesterols. Good cholesterols are increase by unsaturated fats, like in nuts and fish.

Myth: Bananas are fattening.
Truth: Bananas are actually low in fat and have only about 90 calories. They are home for potassium and also they give instant energy by raising blood sugar levels.

Diet Blog Talk!

Well frankly speaking I am a lover of good food. Some of my friends blame this love for the reason behind my obesity. So today I decided to look for some online place where I can get some information about diet, and I reached to Diet reviews.

Basically this site is a place for diet pill and information on weight loss program. The best part of this site is that it is providing an open space to its visitors where they can review these types of products or programs and based on those reviews they will be ranked accordingly. This is quite interesting as it utilizes the concept of user participation.

They provide three types of voting facility to the users, one is Positive for satisfied customer, second one is Negative for unsatisfied customer and third one is Undecided or Neutral one. They manually check all the comment before approving it, so that it controls the spam.

I saw a few technologies there from which I too was not aware. It is assuming, I too can reduce my fat with the help of these products. These are really useful as I can get much more idea about them from this site only.
