Ayurveda for anti-aging

noreply@blogger.com (DrEddyClinic.com) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 08:12:00 +0000

Age is just a number, if we understand the concept Ayurvedically. Bharat Savur, co-author of the book ‘Fitness for Life’ explains:
‘Ageing is an unnatural process, declares Ayurveda.’
‘The evidence is compelling: protons, neutrons, electrons, our DNA, electricity — all the things that constitute and run our body — do not age. Therefore, the body cannot age.’
Makes sense alright, but then we do age, and the symptoms are very real…

‘Explains Ayurveda, all these symptoms are due to pragya aparadh — erroneous thinking.’
‘As the Buddha warned, ‘The mind is everything; what you think, you become.’ Sad, fearful, angry thoughts sink into the smriti (memory) of the cell and damage its natural, healing intelligence and skills. Peaceful, cheerful, contented thoughts preserve and stimulate the cells’ memory of wholeness and enable it to take timely corrective measures.’ More...

Soy Protein Doesn't Lower Cholesterol

noreply@blogger.com (DrEddyClinic.com) — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 12:24:00 +0000

Regular consumption had little effect on LDL levels, study finds

By Kathleen Doheny
HealthDay Reporter

(HealthDay News) -- Eating foods with soy protein has been promoted as a way to lower cholesterol, but a new study finds it has no significant effect on cholesterol levels.

The findings "do not support the current health claims for soy protein in a general population," said study author Peter R.C. Howe, director of the Nutritional Physiology Research Centre at the Sansom Institute for Health Research at the University of South Australia in Adelaide.

He's referring to the health claims approved for soy foods in both the United States and the United Kingdom that link daily consumption of 25 grams of soy protein to a reduction in heart disease risk through a lowering of LDL, or "bad," cholesterol.

Howe's team studied 35 men and 58 women, average age 52, who had mildly high cholesterol levels. He assigned each participant to rotate through one of three diets for six weeks each. Each diet had varying amounts of soy protein and isoflavones, substances in soy that some experts say may have cholesterol-lowering powers.

One diet contributed 24 grams of soy protein and 71 milligrams of isoflavone equivalents, one had 12 grams of dairy protein and 12 of soy protein, with 76 milligrams of isoflavones. The dairy diet, which served as the control, had 24 grams of dairy protein without isoflavones.

Howe's team measured each person's blood cholesterol -- LDL, HDL and trigylcerides -- at the start of the study and after each six-week diet.

They found no significant effect of the diets with either 24 grams or 12 grams of soy protein on LDL levels.

In his research, Howe also looked closely at whether a person's ability to maximize the body's response to soy protein had a better cholesterol-lowering effect. These people are termed "equol producers" because of their above-average ability to make equol, a substance produced in the intestines as a metabolite of a potent soy isoflavone called daidzen. Equol is thought to inhibit LDL.

When Howe compared the cholesterol-lowering effects of those who were equol producers with those who were not, he found no differences.

Howe's study was confined to those with mildly high cholesterol; he said it may have an effect on those with higher cholesterol levels. And the soy diets did lower triglycerides, a blood fat, by 4 percent.

The findings were published in the August issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Even though the study found no effect of the soy protein on LDL cholesterol, Dr. Frank Sacks, a professor of nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health, called the research interesting. One facet he finds especially intriguing, he said, is the finding that equol producers have no benefit either.

After a series of studies on soy and its effect on cholesterol, the American Heart Association's Nutrition Committee, of which Sacks is vice-chairman, reviewed the evidence and issued an advisory, saying there is "nothing special" about soy or isoflavones for improving cholesterol and that the heart association doesn't recommend isoflavone supplements.

However, "there are other benefits to soy foods," Sacks said. They are healthy due to high levels of polyunsaturated fats, fiber, vitamins and minerals. But, he added, "forget soy protein for lowering LDL."

Baba Ramdevji (Also Called as Swami Ramdevji) is a folk–deity of Rajasthan in India.Swami Ramdev ji was a saint of the fifteenth century who devoted all his life to the uplift of the downtrodden. Around Swami Ramdev ji's grave a magnificent temple was built by Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner in 1931 A.D.

Situated about 12 kilometres to the north of Pokhran, is the village of Ramdevra known after Baba Ramdev. It is here he underwent Samadhi (conscious exit from the mortal body) in 1458 AD by burying himself alive. Samadhi, i.e. the voluntary abandonment of mortal body is a commendable custom for the holy figures in Hindu traditions. Ramdeora fair is held every year for ten days, Bhaadra Sudi 2 to Bhaadra Sudi 11, in August-September to pay homage to the saint. Ramdeora village is in Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan. It is one of the famous fairs in Rajasthan which is attended by lakhs of devotees who come in large groups from far and wide. These groups organise night long singing of bhajans and kirtans to pay homage to Baba Ramdev.

Total Beauty -- The Ayurvedic Way

noreply@blogger.com (DrEddyClinic.com) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 09:38:00 +0000

Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder and although a good physical appearance is an immediate attraction, true and total beauty unfolds from an inner source that is rooted in our chakra system. This endless source of beauty, inner peace and strength emanates from five harmonious and integrated layers: spiritual, emotional, mental, sensorial and the physical or external. Their ability to make micro- and macro- transformations generates total harmony within and without the sheaths realigning proper functioning of the entire organism.

Modern technology is quite adept at addressing skin-deep beauty with highly sophisticated and effective topical applications. Ayurveda, however, avers that true beauty care should scratch beyond the surface and all distinct, yet parallel aspects should be addressed with the ultimate objective being the experience of total beauty.

Ayurvedic Eye Care Beauty Tips

noreply@blogger.com (DrEddyClinic.com) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 05:10:00 +0000

By Dr. M V Subramanyam, MD, PhD (Shalakya Tantra )

Eye Care

The skin around eyes is vulnerable part of body's entire skin surface. In most areas of the body, the blood supply cools, warms, and nourishes the skin, but facial skin, and especially the skin around the eyes, serves an additional function, that of emotional response.

On top of the emotional stresses and free radical assaults, environmental factors such as automobile exhaust and second-hand tobacco smoke cause adverse effects on skin.

Allergies to nail polish and some perfumed cosmetics can also lead to a compromised skin texture around the eyes. Even internet addiction can be a factor! And of course, the sun can produce further signs of aging. Sunscreen lotions and creams are widely used to protect facial skin, but unfortunately, most sunscreens cannot be used close to the eyes.
