It really would be close to preaching to the choir if I told a vegan that that particular diet may be the best for shedding pounds the healthy way, however to a non-vegan or a vegan-to-be, take it from me, that bit of information is so true.

Besides the ethical values (which don’t necessarily drive me to being a vegan myself), there is no question that a vegan diet may perhaps be the healthiest choice for humans.

Statistics show that vegans are less likely to have problems such as heart disease and cancer, and are more likely to keep to a healthy weight.

Nonetheless, the main thing to keep in mind when using a vegan regimen for weight loss is balance with the proper food items.

Just because there are chocolate chips, apple-pies etc that may be ‘vegan’ doesn’t mean that you should binge on these items as you most likely will see little or no results in your quest to lose weight with a vegan diet…and may actually be doing more harm than good.

Now, perhaps the most effective dietetic menu suggestion to lose weight on a vegan diet will mirror the suggestion below:

Breakfast:

A choice of the following

1. A tall glass of Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice.

2. A tall glass of Fresh squeezed lemonade flavored with genuine maple syrup (the darker the grade the better)

Lunch:

A mono-meal of an organic fruit in season for example: Apples in the fall and winter, Melons in the summer, Berries in spring.

Dinner:

Fresh, home-made salads.

A simple dressing could be

(a) Lemon juice, olive oil and un-iodized sea-salt

(b) Avocadoes or Green coconuts blended with tomatoes and some sea salt

Or

Raw and/or cooked root vegetables such as Celery, Carrots, Potatoes, Plantains, raw or slightly heated fruit veggies (these can be blended into Soups or dressings for your salads)

You will be able to see that the meal we all know as breakfast is purposely omitted, well this is based on the fact that the human body goes through a cleansing process from twelve midnight until twelve noon, and a building program from twelve noon to twelve midnight, therefore our meals during these respective periods should be harmonious with these processes of natural detoxification of the body.

Sounds intriguing eh?

Well, it shouldn’t be, it is based on scientific research on thousands of people for over two centuries on such health principles as food combination and assimilation.

In addition to this sure-to-be in fascinating discovery, other factors that must be mentioned when trying to shed pounds on a vegan regimen are to incorporate some form of vigorous exercises such as simple body-weight calisthenics, Yoga’s Sun Salutes, The Yoga derivatives (or even Yoga itself) such as Pilates & The royal court and Aerobic exercises.

However, in using exercise remember to

* Set your goals

* Set a timeframe for your goals

* Figure out how to meet your goals with an exercise program

* Structure your program

* Maintain your program

And one more thing…I say this in almost all my articles on nutrition: cease the use of microwaves starting now

Here’s to health and wellness mate.

Everyone can benefit from playing some kind of memory improvement game. Whether they want to be more effective at work or simply remember peoples’ names, there is a memory improvement game that will help. Read on to learn how you can improve your memory today.

One memory improvement game is the Story Game. This memory improvement game is excellent for helping players to remember lists. Let’s have a look at how this memory improvement game is played.

If you have a list of items to remember, it may be a task list, you can play the story memory improvement game to help you. If your list contains the following items:
Drop spare wheel for puncture repair
Collect dry cleaning
Meet John for a coffee
Buy a pie for supper
Order latest book by favorite author
Cut the grass
You can be sure to remember to get everything done by playing the story memory improvement game to link the items together. Your story would be your own, but if I were playing this memory improvement game mine would perhaps read like this.

Riding along on my unicycle, wobbling because the tyre is flat I hold my dry cleaning up in the air, my arm forming a mast and the dry cleaning making my sail to help me go faster. I whizz along to the coffee shop where I meet John who has an apple pie on his head and I don’t like to ask him why. He is sitting reading the new book by my favorite author while the grass grows up around his feet.

A silly story, I know, but very memorable because there are some fairly graphic visual images there.

The story memory improvement game can be used for many things. To recall the names of people at a social gathering or a business meeting; to remember facts and figures for a presentation or an exam where notes might not be permitted.

There are many memory improvement game ideas, similar to the story game, that can help everyone to improve their memory skills. You’ll be thinking about John sitting amongst growing grass with an apple pie on his head for a while - I guarantee that much!

Want to have a perfect memory once and for all? It’s possible by simply working out your brain for 5 minutes a day with specific memory exercises. They’re so helpful and simple, you’ll be kicking yourself for not having done them all your life.

As people search for curative and restorative effects to combat the impact of a chaotic world, Yoga has become very popular in our culture. Yoga is for everyone and can be done by every body. Yoga is the only exercise from which you gain energy instead of burning it and it doesn’t matter how well you do each of the postures, only that you do it the right way. Traditional cardio exercise works on 3-10% of the body, Yoga exercises 100% of the body, from bone to the skin, from head to the toes, and to every organ, gland, tissue and cell.

Bikram Yoga is practiced in a 105 degree heated room and consists of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises … “So what does the heat do,” you wonder? 105 degrees enhances Vasodilatation, and the capillaries surrounding the muscles respond to heat by dilating and the greater volume of blood brings more oxygen, helping in the removal of waste carbon dioxide and lactic acid. When blood passes through warm muscles, oxygen releases more easily from the hemoglobin, blood passing through cold muscles releases much less oxygen.

Warmer muscle tissue temperatures produce a fluid-like stretch that allows greater elasticity and range of motion. Cold muscles don’t absorb shock or impact as well, so they tend to be injured more easily.

Heat speeds up the breakdown of fatty acids and glucose, and burns fat faster and more easily. The stress of intense exercise drops a deluge of fatty acids into the bloodstream. If you exercise with cold muscles they can’t use the fatty acids as efficiently and they end up in places they aren’t wanted … such as in the lining of the arteries.

Muscles are not the only beneficiaries of heat, higher temperatures improve the nervous system function, meaning messages are carried more rapidly to and from the brain by the spinal cord and other neural transmitters and receptors.

Day by day as Yoga gains popularity, people sweat, strain, laugh and do more for their body, health, and well being than they could ever have imagined with Bikram Hot Yoga.

Is there any more of a dirty word then “Exercise” in our society today? If you want to make a room part faster then the red sea all you have to do is make mention of the evil E word. Although it is true that you can lose a decent amount of weight without ever having to exercise, you won’t be doing your overall well-being any favors. Studies prove that exercise in conjunction with dieting increases your health as well as decreases your body fat faster then just dieting alone. So why is it that most people refuse to exercise? Don’t get me wrong, there are a large percentage of people out there who have tried exercising but they were misguided and ended up doing a lot of work for little return. Other then the fact that finding and understanding a new exercise program has gotten as complicated as programming your VCR used to be I think the other main reason is that most of us just can’t find the time. Well all that’s about to change. What if I asked you to devote 50 minutes a day to exercise and in a month’s time I promised you a noticeable improvement in your health and your appearance. Some of you may not feel you can devote 50 minutes at this time and may feel that it is a lot of time, but when you consider the average person both works and sleeps 8 hours a day and watches on average 6 hours of TV per day, does 50 minutes still sound like an overwhelming number to you? I don’t think so!

There are only two forms of exercise you need to do to lose weight and keep your body in great shape. They are aerobic also know as cardiovascular training and anaerobic training such as resistance training. Let’s first take a look at aerobic training. The best time to do aerobic training is first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. The reason for this is the fact that, instead of using the food you’ve ingested throughout the day, your body is forced to use stored fat as the fuel for the workout. A huge mistake people make is performing too taxing a workout for their fat burning cardio. The key is time not effort. Studies show that your body will not start to use fat deposits until you have reached the 25-30 minute mark of your cardio session. The other aspect of this is that if you go too fast, instead of burning fat, you’ll be using glycogen found in the muscles to fuel your workout. So what would I prescribe? A thirty minute walk, whether it be on a treadmill or outdoors done at a pace where you are slightly out of breath when trying to carry a conversation. That’s it, that’s all! Do this 5 times a week first thing in the morning and your cardio is taken care of.

As I stated before, the second part of the equation is the strength training. This doesn’t have to be overly complicated and for the most part I like to keep it short. On 3 days of the week you will be using weights but in a much different manner than you’re used to. Pick an activity you like to do, such as jogging or skipping. Now pick 3 resistance exercises to do. The 3 that I recommend are free weight squats, dead lifts and clean and jerks. Now you set a timer for 20 minutes. You start the workout by either jogging or skipping for 1 minute straight and when that minute elapses you proceed to do 10 squats followed by running or skipping again. After your next session of running or skipping for a minute you would complete 10 dead lifts and then jog or skip and proceed with 10 clean and jerks. After you do that 3 times you would start over again until the 20 minute timer goes off. You would do this 3 times a week and try to beat the amount of cycles you did in the previous week. This little game will not only keep you motivated but will also let you know the progress you are making.

Now that you know what it takes to get it great shape and lose weight with exercising what are you waiting for?
