Manage Your Weight
People who are looking into creating healthy weight are facing a long painstaking journey in front of them. There are a lot of well meaning but conflicting information when it comes to choosing the right path in achieving healthy weight.
What to eat and how much to eat for optimum health and your ideal body shape and size can seem like a confusing, and at times overwhelming area to explore.
How do you work out a way of eating that fuels you with great energy all day long while burning fat is the big question. According to Dr Libby Weaver, there are a number of factors that need to come together for humans to be able to access fat to burn for energy, factors that are both biochemical and emotional.
Kilojoules:
If you eat well and exercise regularly and body fat still poses a problem for you, then your answer is probably not in the kilojoules department.

Potassium together with sodium and chloride comprise the electrolyte family of minerals. It is called electrolytes because they conduct electricity when dissolved in water, these minerals work together closely. About 95% of the potassium in the body is stored within cells, while sodium and chloride are predominantly located outside the cell.
Potassium is one of the major minerals necessary for human health. It is such an important nutrient that some experts have called it the MOST important. It is generally recognized that the average person does not get enough potassium. This is obvious when we look at chronic health problems which is directly related to a lack of potassium.
Potassium keeps the nervous system humming and muscles toned. It also helps keep the blood pressure at normal levels and may prevent stroke and chronic disease.

A forgetful mind
If you consider energizing arm balances, invigorating back-bends, convoluting twists or terrifying but uplifting inversions are the climax of your yoga practice, Savasana is the grand finale. It is the finishing of a physical practice, but also the beginning of the exploration of the psyche. I always feel the permeation of a calming sensation and lightness when I am in Savasana. The agni (fire) generated in the practice seems to have transformed into some kind of surreal energy that flows over my skin, allowing every single cell of the body to rest effortlessly on the earth. This layer of energy goes through the central channel from the crown of the head to the tip of the little toes, imbuing the internal organs and blood streams with fuel and the potential for consciousness to evolve. The wonderful feeling of being totally in harmony with the earth is a gift from a daily yoga practice, which is neither obtainable from a fidgety mind nor lasting in a forgetful mind. It requires a certain level of comprehension of sthira and sukha: effort in steadiness and ease with joy respectively. They juxtapose with each other in our practice to reach a healthy balance in every thought and action. In manifestation, try to think about performing tree pose, vrksasana and lotus pose, padmasana. If you can be struggle-free in these poses and stabilize your mind while holding, you then start to realise the meaning of yoga – union – where all is unified as oneness.
