Weight Loss Home Remedy By Shahzad Malik

Weight Loss Home Remedy By Shahzad Malik

Signs and Symptoms of Weight Gain

Weight Loss Home Remedy


If you've ever noticed your pants feeling a little bit tighter, or your shirt becoming more snug around your stomach, chances are you're gaining weight. Although minor fluctuations of 1 to 2 pounds per day are normal in most people, a consistent rise in weight for an extended period of time is a cause for concern.

Causes of Obesity or Weight Gain

The most common cause of weight gain is consuming too much fat and not doing enough exercise to burn off the excess calories. What typically leads us to gain weight and become obese are imbalances in the mind and body:

    Physical Imbalance: stored toxins in our digestive tract can drain our energy and cause us to eat stimulating foods such as sugar that can lead to weight gain.
    Nutritional Imbalance: eating foods that don't provide the body with the essential nutrients that it needs to function optimally.
    Mental and Emotional Imbalance: indulging in excess food is often used to overcome uncomfortable feelings in our daily lives, such as stress and anxiety.

By correcting these imbalances, researchers believe that we can naturally make better food choices that can prevent us from gaining weight. Unfortunately, most methods of losing weight include the use of drugs or surgery that decrease our appetite, block fat absorption, or reduce the volume of our stomach. However, all of these treatments can have serious side-effects. Fortunately a set of simple home remedies and natural foods can help us achieve this balance and even promote weight loss, without the negative side effects.

Other less common reasons for weight gain include the following:

    A genetic predisposition to store excess calories as fat.
    Dieting, which slows our metabolism since the body thinks it is starving, causing us to easily gain weight when we begin eating again.
    Medications, such as birth control pills or anti-depressants, are known to cause weight gain.
    Fluid retention, which can be caused by heart, liver, or kidney disease. This sort of weight gain requires the attention of a doctor.

Home Remedies and Natural Treatments for Weight Loss
Lose Weight Using Apple Cider Vinegar

Many people have found that Apple Cider Vinegar is a wonderful natural remedy for weight loss. Some research suggests that apple cider vinegar increase our metabolism, which helps us burn more calories even when we are resting. Therefore a simple weight loss home remedy is the following:

    Mix 2 teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar to 16 oz. of water.
    Take a few sips of this mixture throughout the day (don't drink it all at once).

Weight Loss Using Evening Primrose Oil
Similar to Apple Cider Vinegar, Evening Primrose Oil can help stimulate our metabolism and cause our body to burn more calories. Therefore, a simple remedy to promote weight loss is to take a capsule of Evening Primrose Oil once per day followed by a daily 20-minute cardiovascular exercise routine.
Green Tea and Caffeine

Research has found that the combination of Green Tea and Caffeine can help to boost our metabolism as well as help to suppress our appetites. Therefore, an effective remedy for weight loss is to take a Green Tea supplement which contains 50mg of Caffeine and 90mg of EGCG (the active ingredient in Green Tea) three times per day (once before each meal). Combine this with a 30-minute exercise routine three times per week (10 minutes of light weights followed by 20 minutes of cardio). There is some evidence that suggests individuals can lose up to 2.5 pounds per week using this combination of exercise and supplements.
Drinking Fruit Smoothies to Promote Weight Loss

A daily fruit smoothie for breakfast is a fantastic way to restore balance and promote weight loss. By choosing the right ingredients, you can easily create a drink which provides a total infusion of essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, and fatty acids that also tastes delicious and prevents food cravings.

An excellent smoothie can be created by mixing the following ingredients in a blender until smooth:

    1 cup of rice milk
    1 cup of soy milk
    1 cup of orange juice
    1 banana
    4 strawberries (fresh or frozen)
    1 tablespoon of aloe juice
    1 tablespoon of concentrated black cherry juice
    1 teaspoon of raw, organic bee pollen
    1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil

Feel free to experiment with the proportions, or add any additional fruits, juices, or other nutrient-rich ingredients.

Exercise to Promote Weight Loss
One of the best ways to promote weight loss is by becoming active and exercising for at least 30 minutes per day. Brisk walking, jogging, biking, or using indoor machines such as elliptical bikes are excellent ways to burn off excess calories. Adding some weight training to your exercise routine is also highly recommended, since increasing muscle mass helps to increase our metabolism, which allows us to burn more calories while we are at rest. Regular exercise also helps to reduce stress and depression, which are both common causes of weight gain.

Note: if you have not exercised regularly for a while, it is best to consult your doctor before beginning a new
training program.

Fat Burning Furnace
A new web-based weight loss program called the Fat Burning Furnace offers a diet plan, coaching program, and exercise routine that only requires 45 minutes per week. The author claims to have personally lost 42 pounds using these techniques, so it might be worth checking out. Click here to find out more about this weight loss program.

10 Natural Depression Treatments By R. Morgan Griffin

10 Natural Depression Treatments By R. Morgan Griffin

Being depressed can make you feel helpless. You're not. Along with therapy and sometimes medication, there's a lot you can do on your own to fight back. Changing your behavior -- your physical activity, lifestyle, and even your way of thinking -- are all natural depression treatments.

These tips can help you feel better -- starting right now.

1. Get in a routine. If you’re depressed, you need a routine, says Ian Cook, MD. He's a psychiatrist and director of the Depression Research and Clinic Program at UCLA.

Depression can strip away the structure from your life. One day melts into the next. Setting a gentle daily schedule can help you get back on track.

2.Set goals. When you're depressed, you may feel like you can't accomplish anything. That makes you feel worse about yourself. To push back, set daily goals for yourself.

"Start very small," Cook says. "Make your goal something that you can succeed at, like doing the dishes every other day."

As you start to feel better, you can add more challenging daily goals.

3. Exercise. It temporarily boosts feel-good chemicals called endorphins. It may also have long-term benefits for people with depression. Regular exercise seems to encourage the brain to rewire itself in positive ways, Cook says.

How much exercise do you need? You don’t need to run marathons to get a benefit. Just walking a few times a week can help.

4. Eat healthy. There is no magic diet that fixes depression. It's a good idea to watch what you eat, though. If depression tends to make you overeat, getting in control of your eating will help you feel better.

Although nothing is definitive, Cook says there's evidence that foods with omega-3 fatty acids (such as salmon and tuna) and folic acid (such as spinach and avocado) could help ease depression.

5. Get enough sleep. Depression can make it hard to get enough shut-eye, and too little sleep can make depression worse.

What can you do? Start by making some changes to your lifestyle. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day. Try not to nap. Take all the distractions out of your bedroom -- no computer and no TV. In time, you may find your sleep improves.

6. Take on responsibilities. When you’re depressed, you may want to pull back from life and give up your responsibilities at home and at work. Don't. Staying involved and having daily responsibilities can help you maintain a lifestyle that can help counter depression. They ground you and give you a sense of accomplishment.

If you're not up to full-time school or work, that’s fine. Think about part-time. If that seems like too much, consider volunteer work.

7. Challenge negative thoughts. In your fight against depression, a lot of the work is mental -- changing how you think. When you're depressed, you leap to the worst possible conclusions.

The next time you're feeling terrible about yourself, use logic as a natural depression treatment. You might feel like no one likes you, but is there real evidence for that? You might feel like the most worthless person on the planet, but is that really likely? It takes practice, but in time you can beat back those negative thoughts before they get out of control.

8. Check with your doctor before using supplements. "There's promising evidence for certain supplements for depression," Cook says. Those include fish oil, folic acid, and SAMe. But more research needs to be done before we'll know for sure. Always check with your doctor before starting any supplement, especially if you’re already taking medications.

9. Do something new. When you’re depressed, you’re in a rut. Push yourself to do something different. Go to a museum. Pick up a used book and read it on a park bench. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Take a language class.

"When we challenge ourselves to do something different, there are chemical changes in the brain," Cook says. "Trying something new alters the levels of [the brain chemical] dopamine, which is associated with pleasure, enjoyment, and learning."

10. Try to have fun. If you’re depressed, make time for things you enjoy. What if nothing seems fun anymore? "That's just a symptom of depression," Cook says. You have to keep trying anyway.

20 simple tips to be happy now By Dr. Timothy Sharp

20 simple tips to be happy now By Dr. Timothy Sharp 
Author of “The Happiness Handbook”  Founder of The Happiness Institute

Introduction

This   e-Book   is   based   on   Dr.   Sharp’s   popular   publication  “The  Happiness  Handbook”.    Each  of  the  tips listed here is described in more detail in this book, which also has a series of accompanying workbooks.  
.  
This e-Book is also based on the following philosophy: 
ƒ
Happiness is the ultimate purpose in life
ƒ
Happiness is achievable, for all of us
ƒ
Happiness  is  determined  more  by  our  minds  than by our circumstances
ƒ
The  disciplines  that  will  lead  to  and  enhance happiness  (such  as  helpful  thinking  and  good 
habits)  can  be  learned  and  mastered,  with  practice.  


Tip 1
Make happiness a priority.
  If happiness is not at the
top  of  your  list  then  other 
things  will  take  precedence.   
If other things take precedenc
e, they may well interfere
with your efforts to feel good.  

Tip 2
Make plans to be happy.
  Those who fail to plan, plan
to fail.  Just like in any
other life domain,
 the successful
pursuit of happiness requires planning.  

Tip 3
Set  happy  goals.
  Following  on  from  Tip  2,  planning 
requires  effective  goal  setting.    And  don’t  forget  to 
make    sure    your    goals    are    SMART    (specific,   
measurable, achievable, relevant and timed). 

Tip 4
Do  things  that  make  you  happy.
    Although  this 
sounds  obvious,  many  people  simple  forget  to  do 
things from which they gain pleasure.  And do them as
often as possible.  


Tip 5
Set    yourself    tasks    from    which    you’ll    gain   
satisfaction.
    As  well  as  pleasure  and  enjoyment, 
satisfaction is also an impo
rtant part of happiness.  So
make  sure  that  when  you’re  planning  your  tasks  and 
activities  you  include  things
  that  might  not  be  fun,  but 
from which you’ll gain a sense of achievement.  

Tip 6
Play  and  have  fun.
    Don’t  take  life  too  seriously.   
Although we all have responsib
ilities there’s no reason
why  we  can’t  approach  much  of  our  lives  in  a  playful 
manner.  In fact, those who do so will undoubtedly be
happier. 

Tip 7 
Identify where your strengths lie. 
Know where your
faults  and  weaknesses  are  to  avoid  problems.    Know 
where  your  strengths  lie  to  be  really  happy  and  to 
succeed in life.  

Tip 8
Utilise  your  strengths.   
Although  we  all  can  and 
should  endeavour  to  improve 
in  areas  in  which  we’re 
weak  there’s  just  as  much

,  if  not  more,  to  be  gained 
from   focusing   on   the   maximal   utilisation   of   your  
strengths   (including   all   your   positive   qualities   and  
attributes).

Names of God in Islam - The 99 names of Allah - أسماء الله الحسنى

The 99 names of Allah (Arabic: أسماء الله الحسنى‎ Asmāʾ Allāh al-Ḥusnā, Beautiful Names of Allah) are the names of God in Islam. They are described in the Quran and Sunnah, among other places.

According to hadith there is a special group of 99 names, but no enumeration of them. Thus the exact list is not agreed upon, and the names of God (as adjectives, word constructs, or otherwise) exceed a total of 99 in the Quran and Sunnah. According to a hadith narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, some of the names of God have also been hidden from mankind.
