Meditation And Health
Fad diets and meal plan systems promote promises of incredible weight loss with the ability to keep the weight off. While some of these systems do prove successful, others fail miserably to deliver on their promises. When it comes to weight loss and diet, the key is to consume natural foods that are high in nutrients and low in processed carbs, sugars, and fats.
If you're feeling sleeping during the day, and are unable to take a nap, for most people their first response is to grab a coffee or a sweet treat to give them a boost of energy. Unfortunately this sugar high, will only give you short-term energy before you crash.
Some modalities promote visualization as a method for relaxation, others encourage the use of music or repetitive sound (like 'ohm'), while still others combine those to achieve the prescribed state of mental and physical relaxation. Your brain functions by creating neural pathways between cells and neurons that allow you to access stored information on demand. Meditation increases the strength of these pathways allowing you to clearly access the information at an increased speed.
Unfortunately getting little sleep is common and sometimes even something we find ourselves boasting about. While the immediate reaction of telling your co-worker that you pulled an all-nighter may be satisfying, but in the long run your metabolism will begin to function in a less effective manner.
This calm state additionally provides an opportunity for reflection and introspection. As you are relaxed there is less activity in your amygdala, which is directly involved in how we experience negative emotions. During meditation you are less prone to feelings of guilt, doubt, and fear. Free of those emotions, you can examine life from a clearer perspective, potentially gaining new insight into old experiences and your own natural emotional reactions.
This is the area where things get really exciting and very yummy. The list of beneficial fruits and veggies is a long one. Incorporating tropical fruits like papaya and pomegranate along with more traditional options like apples, bananas, oranges, and peaches, is a great way to add incredible amounts of sweet, yummy flavor to your diet. Other fruits you should consider are kiwi, cantaloupe, berries, and apricots.
When you are sleep deprived, the hormone ghrelin, which tells you when to eat, is more prevalent in the body. At the same time there are reduced levels of the hormone leptin, the hormone that tells you to stop eating. This hormone imbalance wreaks havoc on your diet, which could result in significant weight loss if these negative sleep habits were routine. Also while you are sleep deprived your metabolism moves more slowly.
As you work to adjust your diet you will find, if you are calorie counting, that as you cut more processed food from your diet, you will be able to fit a larger amount of lower calorie, healthy foods into your meal plan.
Overall, meditation provides an excellent opportunity to relax, re-charge, and rejuvenate our minds, bodies, and spirits in preparation for whatever life may throw our way. If you are looking for a weight loss alternative, lap band surgery in Utah may be your answer.
