Why Fasting is good for Health

by Simran Kaur 

Fasting

What is fasting?
Fasting means purposely going without food, drink, or both... It also can be going without certain types of food.

There are many kinds of fasting:

• Medical fasting: You may be asked to fast for a certain amount of time before a medical test or surgery, often 8 hours or more.
  
• Religious fasting: Many people fast as part of their religion. Religious fasting may involve eating nothing on certain days, eating nothing from sunrise to sunset for a month, or not eating meat, dairy, and eggs for several weeks at a time.
  
• Fasting to detoxify the body: Some people use fasting as a way to rid the body of toxins. There is no evidence that going without food for a period of time does this, though.

Benefits of Fasting

• Mental clarity is improved and brain fog is lifted.
• Rapid, safe weight loss is achieved without flabbiness
• the nervous system is balanced
• Energy level and sensory perception is increased.
• Organs are revitalized
• Cellular biochemistry is harmonized
• The skin becomes silky, soft, and sensitive
• There is greater ease of movement
• Breathing becomes fuller, freer and deeper
• The digestive system is rejuvenated and becomes more effective
• Fasting retrains your tasting sense back to more healthy food as acute sensitivity is restored.
• Fasting can increase confidence in our ability to have control over our lives and our appetite, and that our body is self-regulating
• Normal metabolic and cell oxygenation are restored.
• Detoxification - as soon as the body realizes that it's fasting it will begin to eliminate those things that cause disease, such as fat cells, arterial cholesterol plaques, mucus, tumors, stored up worries and emotions.

Eating Disorder

What is an Eating Disorder?

An eating disorder is characterized by abnormal eating habits that may involve either insufficient or excessive food intake to the detriment of an individual's physical and emotional health. The causes of eating disorders are complex and not yet fully understood Bulimia Nervosa, Anorexia Nervosa, and Binge Eating disorder are the most common.

• Bulimia Nervosa: Bulimia nervosa is a common eating disorder. It is most common among young women, where 1-2% are affected. It is characterized by a craving for food, where you rapidly wolf down much more food than your body needs. People with bulimia sometimes cannot stop themselves from eating more and more. More or less successful methods are then used by the individual to prevent an increase in weight.
• Anorexia Nervosa: Anorexia nervosa  is a very serious eating disorder. It may lead to death as a consequence of starvation or other medical conditions caused by lack of food. The limit for anorexia is for adults usually put at a BMI of less than 17.5 in combination with other symptoms. Between a half and one percent of young people suffer from anorexia.
• Binge Eating: The term Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is used for those who go through recurring episodes of compulsive overeating. They eat far too much, but don't get rid of the extra calories in the same way as those with bulimia.
• They typically eat large quantities of food quickly even when they are not physically hungry. More. Feelings of shame and guilt are common.
• BED usually leads to overweight. About one fifth of those who seek medical help for overweight have typical symptoms. Even those with overweight who don't have typical symptoms are often helped by similar treatment.

Eating disorders do not work in the same way for everybody. The disorders may often include several different combinations of symptoms which are difficult to explain. A lot has been written about conflicting theories concerning cause, prevention and effective treatment. It is only possible to understand many symptoms by considering an individual's personal life history. The symptoms are often not directly connected with the development of eating disorders.
What is common for all eating disorders, is that the individual doesn't just eat from the need for nutrition. Starvation or excessive eating is often used in order to achieve something else: a slim body, or the reduction of anxiety, stress, anger, monotony, depression etc.

Exercise for Beginners

Exercise 

For Beginners:  You should start slowly with a basic cardio 20-30 minutes.

Cardio exercise is important for a healthy heart and weight loss.

How to Begin

1. Choose an activity that you enjoy. The best exercise for you is the one you'll actually do, not the one you think you should do. Walking is a great place to start since it doesn't require special equipment and you can do it anywhere, but you can try any activity that involves some type of continuous movement like cycling, swimming, running, aerobics, rowing, stairclimbing, etc.
   
2. Start with 2 or 3 days of your chosen activity a week with a rest day between workouts.
   
3. Begin with a 5-10 minute warm up of light cardio to gradually increase heart rate.
   
4. Increase your pace and intensity to slightly harder than comfortable (about a Level 5 or 6 on the Perceived Exertion Scale or you can use Target Heart Rate to monitor intensity) and go as long as you comfortably can. Begin where you are, not where you want to be. You may only be able to exercise for a few minutes at a time, but that will change quickly if you're consistent.
   
5. End each workout with a cool down of light cardio and stretch the muscles you've worked to relax and keep your muscles flexible.
   
6. Each week, increase your workout time by a few minutes until you can work continuously for 30 minutes a session.
   
7. Don't worry about distance or pace. For the first few weeks, focus on showing up for your workouts and building time. You have plenty of time to work on your speed and distance.
   
8. After 4-6 weeks, change your routine by adding another day of exercise, increasing your pace/intensity, adding a new activity and/or increasing the amount of time you exercise.

What is Weight loss

 Weight loss

 
Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health or physical fitness, is a reduction of the total body mass, due to a mean loss of fluid, body fat or adipose tissue and/or lean mass, namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon and other connective tissue. It can occur unintentionally due to an underlying disease or can arise from a conscious effort to improve an actual or perceived overweight or obese state.

It is of two types: Unintentional weight loss and Intentional weight loss

1. Unintentional weight loss
Unintentional weight loss occurs in many diseases and conditions. Unintentional weight loss is a decrease in body weight that is not voluntary. In other words, you did not try to loss the weight by dieting or exercising.

2. Intentional weight loss
Intentional weight loss refers to the loss of total body mass in an effort to improve fitness and health, and to change appearance.

Weight loss industry

There is a substantial market for products which promise to make weight loss easier, quicker, cheaper, more reliable, or less painful. These include books, DVDs, CDs, cremes, lotions, pills, rings and earrings, body wraps, body belts and other materials, not to mention fitness centers, personal coaches, weight loss groups, and food products and supplements. US residents in 1992 spent an estimated $30 billion a year on all types of diet programs and products, including diet foods and drinks.

Between $33 billion and $55 billion is spent annually on weight loss products and services, including medical procedures and pharmaceuticals, with weight loss centers garnering between 6 percent and 12 percent of total annual expenditure. About 70 percent of Americans' dieting attempts are of a self-help nature. Although often short-lived, these diet fads are a positive trend for this sector as Americans ultimately turn to professionals to help them meet their weight loss goals.

In Western Europe, sales of weight-loss products, excluding prescription medications, topped £900 million ($1.4 billion) in 2009
