Age old Pointers to Weight Loss

Years and years of accumulated wisdom enables man to discern what’s right and what’s wrong and what’s best and what’s not. But at times, he falls prey to satanic temptations and turns a blind eye to his wisdom and intellect.

Let us go back again to explore the hidden wisdom and kindle our memories to rediscover the forgotten secrets of weight loss.

•   Sip some Rooibos tea in the morning. Rooibos tea is anti-mutagenic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral. Next to the other numerous health benefits, rooibos tea may also play a role in your weight loss by inhibiting your appetite. Also, rooibos tea is calorie free.
• Be flexible! A bit of twisting up in the morning in the name of yoga would enhance your weight loss process. Yoga would help you to build your muscles, have a low BMI and speed up your metabolism.
• Always, always eat your breakfast no matter how late you are.
• Have your own vegetables. My best friend, the skinniest, has her own little garden in which she cultivates everything from papaya to pepper. This way she knows what manure she uses and how she grows her veggies and fruits. A vegetable garden of your own  would give you some physical activity, sense of satisfaction and a nutritious weight loss diet.
• Use turmeric in your daily diet as a habit. Curcumin in turmeric is a natural antiseptic and antibacterial with lots of health benefits. It is known to metabolise fat and help in weight management.
• Have your pickles and spice it up. Vinegar in pickles with its acetic acid, helps to reduce blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Spices like hot pepper are known to metabolism encouraging weight loss. They also kill your appetite making you feel full and enough. Next time you go to Subway, do not omit the pickles.
• Stop eating out. The reason is simple. You have grown your vegetables and you know what to throw in them while cooking. Then why eat out just to spill money and earn calories?
• Eat it all during lunch. Have a nice full meal in the afternoon instead of eating a lot of fatty calories in the night. This way you eat less in the night after a mild snack in the evening and wake up for a nice little breakfast.
• Chat, chat and chat as you eat! A long family meal would necessarily encourage slow and less eating. When you eat slowly you realize when you get full. But stay away from laughing and chocking!
• Take a good nap to de stress and lose weight. A siesta would keep your brain alert and enable you to know when you are hungry and when you are not.
