weight control
Understanding Your

Ayurveda - A Different
Perspective on Diet, Nutrition &
Weightloss
It is
strange how the secrets that we try so hard to find out have
already been discovered ages ago, often in the most unlikely
places and by the most unlikely people. People who lived ages
ago in the East have already solved many of the puzzles of the
human body.
The
Indian system of medicine, which is called Ayurveda, is a
wonder in itself. The explanations in this stream of science at
first glance may seem far-fetched but when you really sit down
and think about it, you will be astounded by the knowledge and
understanding that the ancient Indian sages
had.
I have
included a littlie bit on the Indian system of medicine that is
particular to the subject of our interest, which is the
diet and weight control.
Take
time to go through the stream of thought in the following
pages, it is more than interesting.
The
Starting Point
The
enormous amount of excess fat in the human body has made the
keyword ‘weightloss programs’ an instant hit among the common
man. No wonder, most of the search engine spiders get a lot of
enquiries on this word and the related key words, day in and
day out.
Let us
dig out the prime reasons behind this problem. It is a matter
beyond dispute that there is a direct relation between the food
we eat and the weight that adds up. Hence almost all weight
loss programs concentrate on making some control on the
‘quality’ and the ‘quantity’ on the food we
consume.
Where
should we start? Now that you have decided to lose some weight
we must of course find an answer to the above question. Let me
make it clear that there is no better place than our
mind.
We
should have a strong resolve towards our aim. Conceive this as
a just war towards your good health. As in any war there will
be at least one enemy. Here your main enemy would be the basic
urge to stuff your self with all the wrong
things.

Ayurvedic
Medicine
The legend of
the beginning of ayurvedic medicine is that the
one creator, Brahma, taught the theories and
practices to one of the animal lords, who
taught it to the Asvins-the divine twins. They
taught this to the chief of the shining ones,
called Indra. These were the deities of ancient
verdict times.
