SHRINK YOUR STOMACH- AN END TO OBESITY.

Overeating will enlarge your stomach, when we habitually eat large meals, the stomach muscles are overstretched making them loose their natural elasticity. Our stomach is naturally only the size of our closed fist. As stomach stretches we have to eat more to feel 'full;. As this routine continues stomach will not have the time to return to its normal size. Stomach usually when emptied starts to return to its normal size. It is also possible to shrink the stomach back to its size, if we follow a few tips, which are quick and safe.

Increase taking fibre rich food. This kind of food fill up the stomach faster with little quantity. This fullness makes the stomach to signal  the brain that it is full and thereby avoid large quantities.

You should make it a habit to take atleast 20-30 minutes to finish your meal. Many dieters frame their mind that if they skip a meal than that much calorie  is consumed less by the body. This may be true only for that one  particular meal.. When in reality, this skipping the meal, will make the dieter to overeat the next  meal. So in effect the calories saved by skipping the meal is added by overeating the next meal. Alternatively follow to eat small meals frequently, as this will gradually slowly and surely minimise the stomach sretch. In long stomach will shrink. You can have about 5 to 6 small meals intead of 3 large ones.
In recent years, gastric bypass surgery is becomming popular. This surgery shrinks the  stomach size along with that of the intestines also. There is almost 60 persent reduction in weight. But this surgery is advisiable only where obesity is very huge.

Always be in a positive frame of mind, as the negative emotions such as sadness, depression, anxiety, fear and anger makes way to overeating, Compose your mind with yoga.

STRESS-A RISK FACTOR FOR CAD

A number of factors are responsibile for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), amoung them are stress,unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and smoking(refer to article EVERY ONE SAY NO TO TOBACCO in my other posts)

A good news, often not realised by most people, is that almost 80% of premature deaths due to heart disease and stroke can be avoided if the risk factors are kept under control. An individual can work any number of hours provided he/she enjoys it, otherwise it causes stress. Workplace stress and associated problems are increasing day by day. In the beginning the symptoms of stress are relatively mild such as choronic headaches and one's susceptibility to colds. The stress induced condition in a person may include: Depression, Diabetes, hair loss, heart disease, obesity, sexual dysfunction,ulcers,anxiety disorders.

HOW TO DEAL WITH STRESS EFFECTIVILY.

1.By Neutralising stress by techniques, such as meditation, yoga and deep breathing exercises, which can be learnt easily and bring the body to a calm state.

2. By Prevention: here let us see the person's personalities relating to stress.

a) Negative Personalities say type A(aggresive and implusive nature) and type C(Concealed and non-communicative nature).These personalities trigger negative chain reaction in their body, thereby increasing the hormones-adrenaline, nonardenaline and cortisol responsible for rise in heart rate, blood pressure, LDL increase while HDL is decreased, which leads to narrowing of the coronary artires, thus reducing the supply of blood supply to heart.

b)Positive Personalities say type B (Calm abd Balanced noture) These persons trigger positive reaction in their body, thereby increasing hormones such as endorphines, melatonin and serotonin which helps heart to function normally.

So these negative nature persons have to change their mindset. Stress can be easily avoided by better organisation, efective time management and inter personal rappo at the workplace.

In addition Exercise and lifestyle changes go a longway in preventing heart diseases.

Exercise:- Is one of the most effective stress reduction technique. Exercises catalyses the release of mood enhancing chemicals in our body. This makes one fitter, gives a healthier mindset and also boosts immunity. 30 to 35 minutes of physical activity three to five times a day is all it takes to get all the benefits a heart reqyires.

Lifestyle Changes:
