Weight_loss By Trying

I have a friend who embarked on a 'weight_loss' program recently without exercising, but with simple dieting in a very healthy way. She shed about 5kg slowly and steadily over a period of 12 weeks. Why I say it is a 'healthy_way' is because she takes 2 meal replacements and complement it with supplements of high potency. Apparently the brand of supplements that she takes is known to have a high potent effect compared with the others. Though it is more expensive than other brands its efficacy compensates for the high price. Not to mention I have taken it personally to experience myself. Her weightloss program allows only minimal 'carbo' intake and to ensure healthy_wealthy living she consumes fresh vegetables and fresh fruits and doesn't consume any preserved food (i.e. processed food). In the process, apart from her apparent weight-loss, her allergies are also at bay, that is by going through this program.
I am in the course of trying out this weight_loss program with a slight variation i.e. with 1 meal replacement and 1 meal of eating fresh fruits daily. This way, I should be able to reduce some poundage - at least 3kg in 3 months' time, hopefully.
To my mind all this weight-loss program is a case of 'mind over matter' - meaning anyone can achieve it i.e. going by the adage, if there's a will there's a way. After having achieved one's desired weight (goal) one should constantly be monitoring one's weight. Otherwise all efforts, including energy, time and money. would be an exercise in futility.
Hail to healthy weightloss program and may your efforts of losing weight reach its desired effect(goal).

Sino-Tibetan 15min Exercise for Weightloss & Virility

Just think about it, devote only 15min (8-step exercise) daily for weightloss and virility :-
Step 1 - Stand upright & hold your breath for 1min.   Step 2 - While standing upright shake your whole body for 1min.  Step 3 - Clasp your hands together above your head and wiggle your whole body like a snake for 1min.   Step 4 - Arms outstretched  & twirl (clockwise) like a dervish for at least 20 times.   Step 5 - Kneel down, head hung loose whilst at the same time prop your head for 20 times.   Step 6 - Lie on your back with hands on your sides, carry your (unbent) legs up in the air (if possible) towards your torso whilst at the same time prop your head.  Step 7 - Sit down with hands propped on your sides and knees bent, bring your torso up to do a' bridge'  for 20 times.  & Lastly Step 8 - Prostrate your body as you would do 'press-ups' but bend your body 'L-shaped' and rock your body forward & backward for 20 times.
After going through the 15 mins  8-step regimen, you will perspire profusely and you will feel good and virile after some time, not to mention weight loss, too.  My advice for those 50 years and above is, not to force your body, because over time your it will slowly be conditioned as you continue exercising. (NB: Those with medical condition need to consult their Physicians before doing these exercises.)   For those who are conditionally fit, they could increase the intensity of the exercises, and those who could devote only 10 mins, I suggest you do a 5- Step exercise i.e.by dropping Steps 2,3 & 8.  The normal caution is of course; don't exercise on a full stomach, i.e. after meals.
Happy Exercising & Sexercising.

Why men should do yoga?

The graceful and nimble movements of yoga postures may be partially to blame for the 'women only' label that yoga sometimes attracts. However, real men know better! The strength of the warrior, the wisdom of the ancient sage, the sharp-minded focus of the hunter, the firm, grounded stability of the oak tree; this is what yoga is made of.

It's not surprising to find many yang-dominant yoga postures, intentions and visualisations in a 5000-year old practice that was developed by male sages and yogis. What is surprising is the imbalanced ratio of female to male practitioners today in Western societies.

Recently, there have been many scientific studies that are pertinent to men; showing the effects of yoga to reduce stress, back pain and illness in the workplace among them. For yoga experts such as Mansukh Patel, a doctor of cancer toxicology, yoga is a proven remedy for many medical and physical conditions that are often unknowingly stress-induced.

One participant of a recent Yoga study within the workplace, reported: "At the end of the first session I went back to the office with a much clearer head and renewed vigour - I could think more clearly, make better decisions and work more efficiently."

Some schools of yoga emphasise flowing movements, directed breathing and visualisation, and an awareness of the spine because a flexible, healthy spine is paramount. This makes it very suitable to men of all physical abilities. Many who begin yoga have very little strength and flexibility but with a regular practice they notice dramatic improvement, also in their general well-being.

Mansukh Patel, born in Africa of Indian parents and now living in North Wales is the inspiration behind many yoga techniques. His studies in cancer toxicity and osteopathy led him to pioneer unique approaches to health and wellbeing.

Yoga is one of the few physical activities that suits men of all ages. It counters the compacting effect that other popular sports have on the body and joints; running, soccer and weight training for example. Some sports, golf and tennis for instance, turn the spine in only one direction. Yoga promotes symmetry and balance while focusing on the spine, which in turn improves the performance in these other sports and goes a long way to preventing injuries.

To incorporate 15 minutes of yoga into the day as a compliment to other activities will reduce tightness in the shoulders, hips and groin and strengthen muscles in otherwise forgotten places like the lower back and knees. Yoga also has the potential to prevent and manage heart disease and is a known antidote to depression, which many men suffer without diagnosis.

Mansukh bases his yoga techniques on movements with their roots in hatha yoga and combines classical yoga postures (asanas), pranayama (the science of breath), mudras (hand gestures), positive affirmations and empowering visualisations as the recipe to achieving your goals.



Mansukh, now an author and motivational speaker, demonstrates Yoga on various DVDs and in books on the practice. He lives by his word and daily Yoga in his routine gives him the energy, vibrancy and focus to succeed.
