Love Your Body: Healthy Weight Loss and Detox
Lasting Weight Management with Holistic Ayurveda Detox
The huge number of slimming books on the market could surely fill 1,000 libraries, but people with weight issues rarely find solace or solutions within their pages. Most have tales of woe to share about the pitfalls of weight loss programmes. As their frustration grows – usually at the same rate as their weight – so their self-esteem and wellbeing plummet. But overweight people aren’t alone in dealing with these issues. People who are underweight have a similar struggle – and both have to face societal prejudices and standards that have no basis in a healthy reality. When weight is a problem, it’s important to look at psychological and emotional aspects as well as diet and exercise. A holistic approach is therefore the key to success.
4 Milestones
for Healthy & Sustainable Weight Management
Milestone 1
Healthy Weight Starts in the Mind
Fast food and the food industry have led to serious weight issues and eating disorders in our sedentary society, but above all to an array of lifestyle diseases.
The luxury of feeling good in our skin and body seems increasingly unattainable: on one side, we have fast food chains luring us down the road to diabetes, heart attacks etc., on the other, the media (including social media) set standards that are not only unrealistic, but also extremely bad for health.
However, much that is weight related plays out on an emotional level and has little to do with eating or exercise. This is why Holistic Ayurveda takes a holistic approach to weight issues. Achieving change requires us to first identify and then break out of our beliefs, triggers and thought patterns.
Milestone 2:
Set Your Goals and Make a Plan
It is possible to achieve a state of wellbeing that is good for both body and soul without denying yourself and, above all, without the agonies of calorie counting. This, however, requires a mindful approach to yourself and your needs. Holistic Ayurveda practitioners understand the links between key issues and the body’s messages, and make use of them to boost energy, health and performance and to stabilise mood. Holistic Ayurveda teaches you to read your body’s signals, understand them and find an appropriate response.
Holistic Ayurveda is recommended for anyone suffering from:
Milestone 3
Eat Healthy, Tasty Food
Despite a plethora of theories, the healthiest way to eat appears to be a mystery for many. Indeed, experts – including doctors – have been at loggerheads over the issue for decades. But the answer is relatively simple: it depends on the individual. Some rules always apply and there are indisputable facts, but there is quite a lot of latitude when it comes to a healthy diet, so long as it suits our constitutions and results in health and wellbeing. This is why eating for your Dosha plays a key role in Holistic Ayurveda – not just for healthy weight loss and sustainable weight management, but also for preventive health care.
Milestone 4
Joyful, Targeted and Measured Exercise
Learned studies repeatedly hit the headlines with a ‘new’ insight we’ve actually known for millennia: human beings need exercise. To be healthy in the long term, body, mind and spirit need to keep moving and remain mobile, ideally outdoors. From ADHD to heart attacks, diabetes to depression – syndromes and symptoms show significant improvements as soon as people get moving. Exercise ticks several boxes simultaneously, making weight management easier, giving health a long-lasting boost, keeping our minds fitter for longer and our emotions in a state of blissful equilibrium.
