The Significance Of A Balanced Diet

By newblog | November 28th, 2018 | LEAVE A COMMENT

“ You are what you eat ” this statement itself tells you the importance of food in your life. The diet you consume directly determines your health and everything else in turn. The diet that you consume should be balanced in nutrients, adaptable to your life, and should be ideal for your body type. Read on to know more about the basics of what comprises of a balanced diet.

What is a Balanced Diet? Simply put, a balanced diet consists of an ideal quantity and ratio of diet that stimulates good health and growth. The body should get its nutrients from different sources like:

Fruits

Vegetables

Whole grains

Legumes

Nuts

Protein

Eating a healthy diet is important for healthy tissue and properly functioning organs. Lack of a balanced diet may lead to diseases, fatigue or infections. A balanced diet is also a subjective diet. Different body types need different ratio and quantities of nutrients. For example, ectomorphs can intake more fat and need more amounts of calories in the form of fats and proteins. Whereas, endomorphs, have almost negligible scope for intaking fat and need to function on high proteins and low carbs.

Some healthy sources of starch-based nutrients are potatoes, bread, rice etc. For protein foods like beans, pulses, eggs, and meat are advised. When consuming fats you have to make sure that it’s consumed in little quantities and that the sources are healthy fats like cheese.

 

Portioning is a major part of a balanced diet, having a balanced diet doesn’t only mean eating right but also eating in the right proportion and portions. It’s important to keep a track of serving sizes and how many amounts of calories you take in. Knowing the amounts of calories you’re going to intake and how many portions you will intake it in solves half the problem.

This is why when you eat outside, you have to remember to consume regular and light sized meals so that you aren’t digesting too many calories.

Make sure you add variety to the source of your macronutrients. Nature is a wonder maker, the more color and textures you have on your plate the more of an indication it is of a balanced diet being consumed. Ensure that you do not overcook your food or add too much cooking oil. Overcooking or over frying your food will kill all the nutrients the food inherently has, it’s always a good idea to lightly saute your food and if that is not an option then consume it boiled.

Mindfulness And Its Benefits

By newblog | November 23rd, 2018 | LEAVE A COMMENT

First off, let’s understand the difference and similarities between mindfulness and meditation. Think of them as the two different sides of the same coin. Consider yoga to be a superset which contains a subset called mindfulness.Meditation broadly involves consciousness, concentration, and self-regulation. Being in the present, past and future is what yoga typically has to offer.

 

Mindfulness is the specific act of focusing on the present moment. It’s about living in the here and the now. Acceptance and submission without judgement. For example, if you’re drinking coffee, exercising mindfulness would mean being fully aware and receptive of its aroma, taste, and color. It is about creating a space around us which is exclusively for ourselves, space to live, think, breathe and evolve.

Benefits of Practicing Mindfulness

Reduced Overthinking:
When a person is dealing with anxiety, the mind tends to galavant into different avenues and is usually distracted or found ruminating. Once the negative thought has entered your brain, it will want to start growing and take more and more space and control. Mindfulness will teach you how to not feed the thought and let it pass as soon as it enters your mind.

Reduced Stress:
Everyday life in the present times can be very stressful. Work pressure, relationship trouble, family issues what have you! Stress can lead to an excessive spike in the cortisol levels, which in turn can lead to major health problems. Mindfulness can reduce stress by not allowing it to germinate.

Improves focus and concentration:
The ability to focus or concentrate on something is probably the single most important ability when it comes to having a successful work or family life. Hence inevitably, the ability to focus is a basic prerequisite to success in life. Mindfulness is an antidote to a mind that tends to easily wander off in a different place.

Reduces Emotional volatility:
A lot of people who might be calm in general might have a tendency to be emotionally volatile in relationships or in social bonds. Being in a mindful state allows to not get emotionally swayed and view the bigger picture from a bird’s-eye point of view.

Higher Cognitive flexibility:
People will have a higher more complete understanding of their brain with the help of practicing mindfulness.This means people who practice mindfulness will have a higher, more streamlined intuition.

Self Analysis and Suppressed Ego:
People who practice mindfulness develop a sense of self-analysis, where everything is broken down and studied from a non biased logical approach. This helps in forming neurotic pathways in the brain where the ego is not only kept in check but also minimized.

 

Practicing mindfulness is for all people of all ages, genders, cast, race, and creeds.Everyone has something to gain from this wonderful art form. Contact us for more details and plans. http://www.wellzee.com/contact-us

Yoga for Beginners: Your Guide to the 5 Most Popular Types of Yoga

By newblog | November 15th, 2018 | LEAVE A COMMENT

Yoga is an ancient Hindu discipline that amalgamates physical, mental and spiritual senses.It involves flexibility, mindfulness and meditation. Developed in India in the fifth century, yoga is now a popular practice across the world. People of different age groups, body types and mental states need different types of yoga to reap its true benefit.

 

1. Hatha Yoga –  This is perhaps the most popular and basic form of yoga. Hatha literally means “The Force”, thus hatha yoga lays emphasis on building physical strength and endurance by helping students maintain proper posture using the right techniques. The ‘asanas’ are usually slow moving making it ideal for beginners to grasp the nuances of breathing techniques and holding postures.

2. Vinyasa Yoga – Vinyasa yoga is also commonly referred to as ‘flow’ yoga. It usually seamlessly free flows from one posture to another making use of breathing techniques. This is not a fixed form of yoga and no two classes are same, as it is usually improvised on the spur of the moment. It is more vigorous and rapid flowing than ‘Hatha’ yoga and can be subjectively moulded and interpreted.

 

3. Iyengar Yoga – In contrast to the previous two types of yoga, Iyengar yoga is all about precision and paying attention to details. It was developed by Mr. BKS Iyengar in the 1960s. The Iyengar system goes into details about the human anatomy, it deals with the nuances of relieving stress, anxiety and depression as well as accurate postural alignment. Be prepared to work with blocks, blankets, ropes and other props to maximize your mind and body’s efficiency. 

 

4. Bikram Yoga – Bikram yoga is a yoga system designed by Mr Bikram Choudhary. It is also commonly called ‘Hot Yoga’ because it is practiced in a room where a temperature of 35- 42 degree celsius with 40% humidity is maintained. Bikram yoga is a fixed system that comprises of twenty six fixed poses which include two breathing exercises that are conducted over a period of ninety minutes.


5. Kundalini Yoga – This is a system of yoga influenced by “Tantra” schools of hinduism. This usually deals with the waking and controlling of the “Kundalini” or primal energy through regular practice of mantra, tantra, yantra and yoga. This is often thought of to be the most dangerous kind of yoga considering the subtle balance of energies it deals in. A kundalini yoga class looks very different from a regular yoga class as it involves the performing of “Kriyas” that involve chanting, singing and meditating. If done right, kundalini can lead its practitioner to higher levels of self awareness by helping to break internal barriers.



There are many kinds of yoga, every person should a choose a type according to what best fits their body types and state of minds. To know more, contact us at http://www.wellzee.com/contact-us
