Approaches to
the treatment of obesity and A Free Weight Loss Formula
by SD Sharma
The general approach for treatment of obesity is to suggest a low calorie diet
and increased physical activity.
There are many weight loss programmes in the market. Some over-the-counter
wellness products are also very popular these days as they claim to produce the
results fast. But many of these products are not researched properly and medical
community has expressed doubts about their effectiveness in long term.
Many weight loss programmes are based on low carbohydrate diet although its long
term effect is not very much different than that of low calorie carbohydrate
rich diet, according to a recent research. Low carbohydrate diet produces
ketosis which
causes low cholesterol levels and reduced body weight. However, there are
differences of opinion in medical community as to whether the low carb diet is
safe in long run.
Other systems of medicine like Ayurveda and Homeopathy also have their own
approach for treatment of obesity. According to Ayurveda, obesity is recognized
as a disease called "Medoroga". Meda means fat and it is one of the
seven Dhatu's that are
sequentially produced from food in the human body. Obesity is considered as a
nutritional disorder mainly produced due to sedentary life style. Ayurveda puts
more emphasis on prevention of the disease and adopting a healthy life style.
The medicines
for the treatment of obesity contain the substance known as Guggulu which is
responsibe for reducing weight. Ayurveda uses natural products in the
preparation of medicines and these medicines are generally safer than chemical
based medicines and
drugs. Also, the Ayurvedic medicines have a long history of use and hence, are
more reliable. Homeopathy has its own approach. It treats the patient, not the
disease. It takes into account the constitution of a person for treatment of
diseases. The
constitution is the physical, emotional and intellectual make up of the person.
Hence there are no ready made prescriptions for obesity which can produce
uniform results. The patient should have enough patience to take Homeopathic
medication otherwise no significant results can be produced.
Another approach that can help in curing obesity is that of Yoga. Yoga advocates
a healthy life style with its specific techniques to clean the body from toxins
and improve emotional and intellectual balance. It covers a broad spectrum of
life. Besides physical aspects, it also covers emotional, intellectual and
spiritual aspects of life which are mostly ignored by modern science when
treating a patient. Certain types of pranayama
(breathing techniques) greatly help in the cure of obesity. Meditation can
reduce mental stress which is also a cause for tendency of over-eating.
A person should be kept motivated and focused on the goals in order to implement
a particular weight loss programme. Hence behavioral therapy is also popular
these days which suggests to set specific goals and have a reward other than
food for achieving those goals. Regular recording of weight and activities is
also important to track the progress.
An integrated approach is required which can address the issue more
appropriately. A good weight loss plan should be based on a synthesis of
different approaches for treatment of obesity. A weight loss formula is
available at http://www.free-weight-loss-formula.com that incorporates the
following steps:
Step1 - A Meditation technique to eliminate mental causes of obesity Step2 - A
simple but powerful fat burning exercise Step3 - Pranayam (breathing techniques)
step4 - Balanced diet
It provides a step by step method which anyone can follow to reduce weight and
get a perfect body shape. It incorporates the traditional wisdom about healthy
life style. It is based on an integrated approach which addresses multiple
causes of obesity. You are not required to purchase any expensive wellness
product to implement it. In this way, you save money which you would otherwise
have to spend on the treatment of obesity related problems.
