Goji: The Asian Weight Loss Secret

August 14th, 2010

In an Asian anti-obesity research, patients were given goji each morning and each afternoon. Results were exceptional with most patients losing significant weight.
Researchers at UCLA and elsewhere have demonstrated conclusively the interconnection between stress and high cortisol levels. If you can reduce stress, you will minimize or eliminate the harmful effects of cortisol.

In an animal study, it was shown that goji’s master molecule polysaccharides improved the conversion of food into energy, and reduced body weight.

Reducing stress may be difficult but for more than a thousand years, traditional Asian medicine has been successfully addressing the problem by the use of adaptogens. The term refers to certain herbs that help the body to adapt to stress. No adaptogenic herb is more renowned than the goji berry for reducing mental and emotional stress.

Beat Stress with Goji

In valleys of Tibet and Mongolia there is a special berry that the locals use and cherish so much that they honor it in special celebrations that last two weeks each year. The Tibetan variety of Lycium now known as ‘Goji’ is considered to be the Mother of all Lyciums! It grows in very remote unpolluted hills and valleys of Tibet and Mongolia, in soil so rich in nutrients that the berries are exploding with this special nurturing vitality.

Goji is the name that refers only to this Tibetan variety of Lycium berry that is indigenous to the Tibetan and Mongolian regions. Local harvesters are cautious to distinguish the Goji berry from its distantly related offspring, the Chinese Wolfberry (Lycium barbarum), pointing out that whilst the later evolved over centuries from the Tibetan Lycium berry variety, its nutrient makeup differs considerably, as do the regions and conditions within which these two different berries are growing.

Goji provides the energy reserves to help one handle just about any difficulty. In Asia, it is said that constant consumption of goji brings a cheerful attitude, and nothing beats good cheer for overcoming stress! It has been suggested that goji’s unique stress-lowering ability can help to normalize cortisol levels. If you can end the cortisol cascade, you’ll soon be on your way to a lower Body Mass Index and a healthier weight. You’ll also notice an impressive array of benefits for whole body good health, including:

-Increased fat burning
-Less fat storage
-Reduction of food cravings
-More energy
-Less fatigue after eating
-Increased fat burning
-Normal secretion of HGH, the body’s growth hormone
-Lower cholesterol and blood lipids
-Improved insulin utilization and blood sugar management
-Reduction of inflammation
-Improved immune function
-Better sleep

Almost two-thirds of Americans aged 20 years and older are overweight. More than 3 of every 10 American adults are significantly overweight – a condition termed obesity. Both overweight and obesity are associated with increased health risk for a host of chronic diseases.

The problem is not purely American. In 1995, a survey by the World Health Organization anticipated the global number of obese adults to be 200 million. A mere five years later, the number had jumped incredibly to 300 million. Justifiably alarmed, the organization has given a name to this seemingly unstoppable worldwide epidemic – globesity.

The excess weight does not necessarily come from fat. If you’re a bodybuilder, professional athlete, or just someone with “big bones,” you may be overweight but not obese.

Being obese refers particularly to those individuals whose excess body weight is a result of a high percentage of body fat. Although experts had long debated the threshold points separating normal weight, overweight, and obesity, there is now near-unanimous agreement thanks to the development of a statistical tool known as the Body Mass Index or BMI.

Fat Distribution – Comparing Apples to Pears

Healthcare providers are anxious not only with how much fat a person has, but also where the fat is located on the body. If you carry fat mainly around your waist (apple-type obesity), you are more likely to result to obesity-related health difficulty than if you carry fat mainly around the hips or buttocks (pear-type obesity).

Causes of Obesity

In scientific terms, obesity arises when you consume more calories than you burn. What causes this imbalance between calories in and calories out may differ from one person to another. Genetic, environmental, psychological, and other factors may all play a part.

Obesity tends to run in families, suggesting a genetic cause. Yet families also share diet and lifestyle habits that may contribute to obesity. Separating these from genetic factors is often difficult.  And science shows that heredity is linked to obesity.

Lifestyle behaviors such as what you eat and your level of physical activity are affecting factors. Many people eat in answer to negative emotions such as boredom, sadness, or anger. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases estimates that 10 percent of mildly obese people suffer from binge eating disorder. This disorder is even more common in people who are severely obese.

Probably the most important cause of obesity is something that we all face – the everyday stress of modern life. When under chronic stress, your adrenal glands overproduce the hormone cortisol. Although cortisol is essential in normal amounts, an excess of this stress hormone can create a cascade of detrimental side effects, many of which can cause weight gain – no matter how vigilantly you diet or exercise!

Cortisol causes:

- Instigation of fat-storage and enzymes
- Alteration of protein in the body into unwanted sugar
-Halt in secretion of fat-burning human growth hormone (hGH)
- Stocking of harmful ‘apple-type’ abdominal fat
-increase in appetite and cravings for sweet and fatty foods
-progressive insulin resistance, which leads to type II diabetes, hypertension,
-cardiovascular disease, and the other health risks associated with obesity.

Exposed: Water & Weight Loss Secret

August 9th, 2010

First off, perhaps we would all be better off if we got some perspective. Many of us are measuring ourselves against the latest hunk or model (choose your gender) we see on TV on in the magazines. What we don’t remind ourselves is that looking like that requires lots of work. Many of these beautiful people spend hours a day looking that good. They are also often assisted by trainers, cosmetics people, and photographers. Yes, photographers. It is a shocking thing to meet some of the beautiful people in person. While they are still beautiful, their beauty is, well, a little less spectacular. And that’s because wonders can be done with cameras, depending on the angle of the shot, the lighting, and a myriad of other factors. Not to mention what can be done with a computer now.

The point I’m saying is to ease up on yourself. Losing weight is difficult enough without measuring yourself against someone. Measure against yourself, and you’ll have plenty of work to do.

In a rich society (and that’s us, folks: measured against much of the rest of the world, and against the rest of history, anyone who has a home and food — not to mention all the rest of what we have — is rich) we do not have to worry about food. We know that there will be food to eat, at least 3 meals a day, and usually more. And part of the problem is that we never get hungry.

I’m not suggesting that there’s some good in real famine-type hunger. That’s a real, live tragedy. But we go through our lives eating before we’ve had a chance to feel any hunger pangs. We don’t know what it feels like to have real hunger. We just keep eating.

It’s an interesting experience to go through a day, and only eat when we’re really hungry. If we really did that, most of us would eat a great deal less than we do now. But eating is not just for nourishment: it’s a time to talk, to get together with those we love, and to relax.

Given the chance, the body will tell us when we need something. That’s hunger pangs. And the body will also tell us when we need water. That’s thirst.

The problem is that we are not good at noticing thirst. And most people’s thirst signals become weaker as they get older. And when our body is thirsty, we tend to read that as hunger. And rather than getting a glass of water, we eat a donut. And the weight starts creeping up.

Your regular, 20 glass a day routine is the way to start losing weight and get toned  contour abs. Weight loss with water is not some kind of miracle, 10-pounds-a-week kind of cure. But you will lose weight on this regimen. And you will feel and look better to boot.

The other part of the problem is that dieting makes us feel deprived. And we resent that. And probably should. So stop dieting. Now. Make a vow to yourself: I will never diet again. I will eat as much as I want.

Of course, this is a little trick on your mind. But it works. And this is the way to start losing that weight.

Keep drinking water regularly, and take a supplement like acai burn to help you. And when your body starts telling you (or you think it’s telling you), “I want a snack,” then trick. Drink a large glass of water. If you want it to be a special treat, make it iced, or drink it with a slice of lemon. (The lemon has no calories, in case you are wondering). But as you’re drinking, just remind yourself that you can have as much as you want … you’re just postponing it a bit. When that glass is done, drink another. Then wait. Just 15 minutes.

What water does is first to give your body the water it needs, in case you’re getting a false hunger signal. But it also fills the stomach, and really does make you less hungry.

15 minutes before eating a meal, do the same thing. 2 glasses of water. Every time you’re tempted to have a snack, do this. You will be astonished that something this good for you can also help you lose those pounds you want to get rid of. But it works. And your body — not just your waistline — will thank you for it.

Another trick is to use “water rich” foods to help lose weight. By water rich, I mean foods that have a high percentage of water naturally. Such foods will almost always be lower in calories than other foods, and will help you fight the battle of the waistline.

What are some of the foods that fit into the water rich arena? Well, soups are the first one that we should think of, because they are a potent weapon in your weight loss arsenal.

It’s important to remember that soups are not always low in calories. Some — such as butter and cream laden bisques and other such — can actually be quite high in calories. Beware, as well, of “cream of whatever” soups. Not that there’s something inherently wrong with them, but they are probably not what you are looking for to lose weight.

The easiest rule to remember will also prove the most helpful. For our purposes here, the soups to look for are the ones you can look through. By that, I mean clear soups such as broth or broth based soups.

Here’s an example. Let’s say friends at work have talked you into going out to a Chinese buffet for lunch. (The reason I give this example is that it’s a vice I fall into once or twice a month!) At a buffet, there’s nothing but your conscience to stop you from eating whatever you want, and all set out in front of you are all kinds of calorie filled goodies. So, what’s to stop you from putting on 2 pounds in 30 minutes?

Soup. Again, remember, you’re not dieting. You’re never going to diet again. You can — in theory — eat whatever you want. But before you get a plate of anything, get a bowl of clear soup. Maybe the buffet has chicken broth or wonton soup or some other clear soup. Get a big bowl-full, and enjoy it.

I’m also assuming that you have had your pre-meal water. For a special treat, you might want to trade your water for Chinese tea. But drink a couple of cups of tea, eat your soup, and now you can face the buffet with a clear conscience … and with an edge taken off your appetite.

Or let’s say you’re at home, and the dinner you’re planning is good — but high calorie. How are you going to ensure that you don’t eat too much and regret it later? Again, plan a soup before the main course. Broth is always a good — and elegant — way to start a meal. But your clear soup idea can be dressed up quite well and made elegant, or you can dressed it down, and enjoy something hearty that’s also nutrient filled. Here’s a good one to try for a hearty and healthy winter day.

Hearty Winter Vegetable Soup (But OK for summer, too…)

1. Before starting, chop an onion into small pieces. Dice a piece of garlic up as well.

2. Heat a big soup pot over medium heat. When the surface is heated, pour in a tablespoon of olive oil.

3. Spread the oil over the surface. Add a few red pepper flakes, and half a teaspoon each of oregano and basil.

4. Add the onion. Turn the heat down to low, and cook until the onion is soft.

5. In the meantime, chop a carrot and 2 stalks of celery. When the onion is soft, add the carrot and celery to the onions, and cook until their color turns bright.

6. While that’s cooking, open a can of tomatoes, and chop them up in the can. (Just put a knife in the can, and slice them up. Trust me, it works).

7. Add the tomatoes, and simmer a few minutes.

8. Now, add some water. However much is up to you … depends on how thin or thick you like your soup. If you like, throw in a chicken broth cube to add some flavor.

9. Cook covered for 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to your taste. If you like, throw in some leftover rice to enrich the soup.

The Secret Weight Loss Saboteur: Fight or Flight in the Modern World

July 31st, 2010

Here’s a scenario I see over and over–busy women who complain that, even though they exercise and try to eat right, still cannot seem to lose weight.  They are frustrated and up the effort without avail. What’s going on? New research now supports what nutritionists and naturopaths have known for years–up to 80% of adult Americans suffer from some level of adrenal exhaustion and this is impacting our physical and emotional health, causing everything from weight gain to an impaired immune system and insomnia. So what are the adrenals, how do they figure into our weight and health problems, and what can we do to heal them today?

The adrenals are star shaped endocrine glands that sit on top of the kidneys and regulate several hormones–the two most important being cortisol (the stress hormone) and adrenaline (the fight or flight hormone).  These hormones evolved to deal with short-term stress. If our ancestors had to run from a predator, for example, the adrenals would boost adreneline, to sharpen the senses and make us super focused on survival, and cortisol, to increase the rate protein is converted to energy and release sugar so that our bodies could respond quickly and strongly to danger.  All in all, the adrenals increase heart rate, decrease metabolism, and tense our muscles so that we are lean, mean fighting (or fleeing) machines. When the danger passes our bodies return to normal fairly quickly. The problem, however, is that our bodies, and our adrenals, are not adapted to the chronic, unrelenting stress of our modern world. Constant stress is put on our adrenals every single day–everything from chaotic traffic and schedules, lack of sleep (the adrenals restore themselves from eleven at night until nine in the morning), to the emotional stress caused by financial, job, and relationships responsibilities.

When we are so chronically stressed, our adrenals are pumping out too much cortisol and adrenaline. Studies have shown that increased cortisol in the body leads to weight gain, especially around the stomach area. When the adrenals become exhausted it can lead to low thyroid as well, which also causes weight gain. In addition, adrenal exhaustion leads to poor immune function, poor hormone regulation, insomnia, and chronic fatigue.

How do you test for adrenal exhaustion? Obviously a doctor can figure this out for you to be sure, but here are some common symptoms:

Pattern of being groggy and not fully waking up for several hours. A dip in energy level between 2-5 in the afternoon and again around 9-10 in the evening. Craving high amounts of salt and fat. A high frequency of cold and flu Weight gain around the middle and/or inability to lose weight Lightheaded feeling when standing from a lying down or sitting position Increased symptoms of PMS in women Trembling when upset

Although it may take some time to bring your adrenals back to health, it is entirely possible with a balanced and natural approach. Taking care of your adrenals is all about taking care of  You–a five pronged approach

Sleep: Since the adrenals restore themselves between eleven at night and nine in the morning, it is important to sleep during this time and for as long as you can. If you cannot, try to spend your awake time doing things that are gentle on the body and emotions–listen to tranquil music, stretch lightly, avoid arguments.

Breathe: Often, proper breathing can help to short-circuit the stress response. Becoming aware of how you breathe is the first step. When you are stressed out is your breath short and rapid (this is a panic response which increases adrenaline and heart rate) or do you hold your breathe (a fear response which increases cortisol)? Work on making yourself take deep breaths, filling the entire stomach cavity and especially the lower back, which is the bottom of the lungs and, in Chinese Medicine, shares a meridian with the adrenal glands.

Eat Well: Craving salt, fat, and sugar is a hallmark of adrenal exhaustion. We crave salt because the electrolyte balance–another function of the adrenals–is often out of whack. Eating foods rich in potassium, reducing salt and sugar intake, and increasing your consumption of water are three ways to help restore the kidneys.

Herbs: Several supplements are great in helping the adrenals recover:

Siberian Ginseng: An ‘adaptogen’ which helps the body adapt to stress, it also gives us energy and vitality Ashwagandha: Is a great nerve tonic that also helps to rebuild the digestive system. Rhodiola Rhosea: Improves memory and concentration and reduces stress-induced fatigue. Cordyceps: This mushroom is, far and away, the best herb for reducing adrenal stress. It also increases immune, kidney, and liver function as well as increases the utilization of oxygen in the body.

Gentle Exercise:  Exercise is a great stress reliever but too vigorous exercise can further stress exhausted adrenals, which in turn can lead to exercise induced asthma (again, since the lungs and adrenals are on the same meridian in Chinese Medicine). Gentle swimming, walking, light jogging, hiking, and cycling are all great ways to cleanse the body and reduce stress while restoring your adrenals to health.  Certain yoga poses, such as simple cross leg pose, bound bridge pose, and corpse pose are also healing for the adrenals. In kundalini yoga, the adrenals are also tied to the ego and anger and exercises to help reduce anger also are miraculous for adrenals.

While it make take some time and dedication to get the adrenals soothed and in optimal shape, it is well worth it. You will be able to lose weight more efficiently, deal with stress better, get sick less often, and feel more happiness, vitality and energy over the long run.

Chinese Weight Loss Secret Revealed

June 13th, 2010

Here is how to rub fat away from your belly

The conventional methods for losing weight and flattening the abs are often tedious and they simply don’t work, they require a lot of sacrifice and are very expensive, each day there is a new book on how to lose those inches!

Today I am going to show you a simple way to remove fat from your belly-it is a simple 5000 year old Chinese method that tales just two minutes of your time!

Lie on your back to begin this exercise. Put the palm of your hands on your navel then simply rub it as follows.

Use your right hand, then rub clockwise from the center, that is from right to left, first in small circles, then increase the circles until the upper and lower abs are being rubbed when you have covered both the lower and upper abs, reverse the movement counter clockwise, this time the circle gets smaller with each and every counter clockwise rotation until you are back at the navel.

Do not apply force, you want a simple gentle rub, when you get to the navel, repeat from the start again, do this 10-12 times

Your chi-invincible energy is being passed from the hands through the skin to your belly, so as you go in circles, you are applying energy to the muscles of the stomach. That is what happens when you apply your right hand on your belly and performing the clockwise movement.

Visualize the energy from the hands going through the skin to your belly, gently massaging and burning fat off your abdominal area to make this exercise more effective.

This electricity from your hands- your chi- massages your intestines, your blood vessels and your digestive and bowl system.

Fat accumulations are disturbed from their resting place and broken up, where it is passed into the bowl system and eliminated.

This way your stubborn fat is burned away simply by rubbing away!

Another benefit when you rub your abs in a clockwise position is that you are encouraging proper bowel movement. This relieves constipation that is usually causes water retention and weight gain.

So if you suffer from constipation, this exercise will allow you to have regular bowel movements which will allow you to lose those last few stubborn pounds.
