How Body toxins can affect Health and Wellbeing - Ajit Patel Wemet

The body is a highly-complex collection of systems that work with one another in order to try and maintain an individual’s health and wellbeing. This is not always easy, as the body can often be invaded by toxins that can cause its systems trauma and strain – making it very difficult for it to operate effectively. Toxins can invade our bodies as the result of poor diets, or environmental factors and can have a significant physical, psychological and physiological impact. In order to help fight against this, the neurology and nutritional expert: Dr Campbell McBride, has recently created a program that recognises the damages that toxins can inflict on the body’s systems, and how use of the program can help people who suffer from a wide range of conditions including autism and irritable-bowel syndrome.

The program, described as the GAPS program, recommends the consumption of high quality meats, oils, fermented food-stuffs, eggs, along with soups with high levels of probiotics to be eaten by people as a means of reducing digestive strain. The diet also features a range of other natural and organic produce that can de-toxify the body, over-haul and re-vitalise sluggish digestive-processes and keep bad things away from it. These foods feature strongly in the, “introductory diet” the participant embarks upon, before full GAPS protocol commences. Once the program is set in motion, participants can chose from a wider-range of foods such a certain cheeses.

The diet is no doubt made more attractive by the virtue of its limited duration, and is followed until the body has recovered sufficiently from the poisoning of harmful toxins and other, unnatural substances. The diet normally lasts 6 months for children and perhaps up to a year for adults, depending on the extent of their stomach-damage.

Dealing with Thyroid Problems - Ajit Patel Wemet

A fully functional thyroid gland is essential for the body, as without it, effective metabolism would be compromised. An unbalanced metabolism could lead to a variety of health disorders which could ultimately lead to the onset of a range of chronic illnesses, so observing the health of your thyroid is essential.

One of the first diseases that may arise as the result of a poorly-functioning thyroid is hypothyroidism – which is caused by the swelling of the gland. This can lead to hormonal imbalance, obesity, insomnia and depression, and can have a devastating impact upon mental and physical wellbeing. Fortunately, there are highly effective ways in which thyroid health can be safe-guarded, which should not prove to be too much of a disruption to your day-to-day life.

As with other aspects of your health, in order to promote thyroid health, it is important to eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables as possible. Generally, the greener it is, the better it is for you, and every day foodstuffs such as spinach, broccoli and cabbage have rich quantities of vitamin A, B and C that can help assist the body’s metabolic processes. Many fruits and vegetables are also rich in iodine content, which is also important for optimum – thyroid-function and is readily available as a supplement in most natural health and food stores.

Vitamin D is also important for thyroid function, and is best absorbed by the body through direct exposure to natural sun-light. This is one of the reasons spending time outside can be important, and if you can’t get away from your desk, it may be worth-while to invest in some Vitamin D supplements.

As a general rule, it’s important to keep an eye on your life-style and thyroid deficiency can also be produced by the presence of unnatural toxins in the body such as alcohol.

What is Reflective Practice and how can it help you? - Ajit Patel Wemet

Reflective Practice is a term frequently used in psychological contexts. It increasingly crosses the divide into occupational and professional theory, as professionals seek to improve their performance by self analysis. It is now a widely accepted umbrella term for developmental practices popular with a whole range of organisations and educational institutions. The concepts behind the practice are available to every individual in the journey towards total wellbeing.

Reflection is as old as human life itself. It is simply the process of reflecting upon one’s activity, evaluating its effectiveness, and deciding what improvements are desirable. In the modern age it has come to the forefront of the self-development industry, thanks to such pioneers as Jean Piaget and Carl Jung. John Dewey is also a significant proponent of the practice and has inspired many of today’s practitioners. The movement is one towards the integration of theory and practice; using the best of human analysis and applying it to behaviour with a view to improving it. Reflection on one’s own behaviour and the conscious application of strategies to improve it forms the core of complementary self-help strategy today.

Gibb’s model provides a reflection process that is now widely used. It is a circular process of reflection, where the person must describe a given experience and provide an analysis and evaluation of their internal process during that experience. A focused examination of the emotions that arose allows them to make sense of the situation and develop an awareness of what alternative actions and outcomes were possible. This practice is supported by a main ‘Action Plan’ – an ongoing strategy that quite literally designs desirable reactions to future situations.

Reflective Practice provides an essential sense of direction in the self-development of professionals from every walk of life. Recently it has found vital application in the field of medical practice, where reactions to patients are carefully considered and improved. Meanwhile, those in business find their relationships and management skills improving steadily through the use of such practices. Anybody who deals with people can find an excellent support for their interactions by using this method, and benefit from the enhanced wellness of all those around them.

What is Qi Gong meditation and what are the health benefits? - Ajit Patel Wemet

Qi Gong or Chi Kung means energy work and originated in ancient China some 3,000 years ago. The first known recordings of Qi Gong practice were found in caves depicting people round a fire dancing to specific postures and movements. Qi Gong is the art of moving meditation for health, longevity and self-defense. It is better known Tai Chi, which also a part of Chi Gong, but is more known for self defense than just healing.

Qi Gong is scientifically proven to reduce stress, improve your immunity, flexibility, blood and Chi (your life force energy) flow, and is also a great means of gentle physical exercise. There are many different forms of Qi Gong; sequences of postures and movements made especially to activate organs of the body and develop an instinctive means of self-defense. Essentially, this art co-ordinates your breath, energy flow and physical movement into sequences of movement which become an every-day practice as the movements slip into your sub-conscious mind to enable easy and effortless exercise with outstanding benefits for your all round wellbeing.

A session will start with light loosening movements to open, stretch and relax your body and also to get that vital life force flowing more easily. Then you will go more into a specific “form” or style of Qi Gong – the sequence of flowing gentle rhythmic movements. There are literally hundreds of different forms that have evolved over thousands of years; some new kinds are being developed even today by advanced practitioners who seek a specific style appropriate to their needs. Such new kinds are motivated by their personal needs, the needs of their students and sometimes for specific reasons like improving kidney health, vitality or relaxation.

Qi Gong is one of the most effective complementary practices for an all-round sense of wellbeing. It is easy to do for people of all ages and what’s more it has actually been proven to work. It is therefore fair to say that starting a Qi Gong practice is a good way to improve your wellness. This could become a real source of peace, health and confidence allowing you to walk in the world without fear or disease.

How you can switch on your mind with visualisation - Ajit Patel Wemet

Most of us neglect the use of our minds; the best example of which is watching television. Essentially, unless you are participating in a quiz show, most television programmes do all the thinking for us. It is understandable after a busy day at work to “switch off” by turning on the television, but is this really the best way to use our time? When you are watching television, your mind is switched off so what is the use of it? It would be far better to create your own vision, your own pictures with the use of your mind to help you reach your goals, improve your self-confidence and focus the mind.

Creative visualisation is used by all major sports personalities and high achievers in the world today. They know that to visualize your goal, see yourself reaching your objective and actually use all your senses to live the experience of the goal you wish to achieve, can help you achieve it in reality. Of course visualisation of your goal isn’t the only thing you need; developing the right skills, dedication and hard work is also required. However, believing you will get there and seeing yourself do it can send you on the right path.

Our minds do not differentiate much between what is real and what we visualise, so when you see yourself achieving your goal your mind really believes that you have done so. This helps you to overcome any obstacles, since your self-conditioned belief is so strong that it overcomes all obstacles. Additionally, your mind sub-consciously maps your route to the visualized goal, so that all you need to do is quieten the mind and tune into your intuition which will then tell you when to act to reach your vision. This is the power of creative visualization.

In a nutshell, creative visualization is excellent for your wellbeing; it improves your confidence, gives you peace of mind by focusing your mind on a positive outcome and helps you sub-consciously to map the method from the outcome backwards in order to help you act as required. Most importantly, it gives you focused concentration to enable you to not give up whatever the cost, and reach your target without any distractions whatsoever. Visualisation is a true complementary medicine that should form an integral part of your life. Improving self-belief and the ability to reach your goals is essential for your wellness.

The Importance of a Clean Yoga Mat -Ajit Pate Wemet

Whilst it might not seem like a big deal, it’s always important to make sure your yoga mat is clean before practicing the discipline. It may seem like a petty concern to address, but it is important to ensure that the environment you practice within is peaceful and free from any form of sensory-distraction. Therefore doing yoga, in an untidy room with a mat that smells, might result in such distractions and prevent the location of your inner-self that the use of yoga seeks to achieve.

Like many delicate fabrics and materials, your mat needs to be washed carefully, and chances are you’ve probably lost the instructions on the best way of doing this. If this is the case, you need not fret, as below is a quick-guide on how to clean your mat without damaging it.

The best method is cleaning it in a non-abrasive manner with the use of hand washing. In order to do this, you can use a simple solution of lukewarm water with 3-4 drops of soap and simply rub the dirty areas to make them clean. However, if your map has more stubborn stains you can also put it in a bath full of warm water and soap and let it soak for a few minutes.

If you’d prefer to do so, you can always throw it in the washing machine, but if you take this approach make sure you use a mild-detergent or washing-powder as anything else could damage the fabric. It’s also important to avoid using the spin-cycle and use cold water to safe-guard against fibre-erosin.

Once, the mat has been washed properly, you should rinse it in clean, lukewarm water. You should not attempt to squeeze or fold it, but just let the water runoff it naturally. To dry it – rub it with a dry cloth or hang it up in fresh-air.

The Benefits of P90X Yoga - Ajit Patel Wemet

Recently, a new type of yoga, known as P90X yoga, has focused on increasing physical strength as well as reducing stress, locating inner-peace and promoting calm and relaxation – some of the benefits that are most commonly associated with the discipline.

This type of yoga, can provide the user with a broad range of physical benefits including offering the body a greater resistance to injury. By engaging in stretching and posture-holding movements for short bursts of up to a minute at a time, muscle and joint flexibility can be improved, increasing flexibility and allowing for your body to experience a greater range of motion. It can also serve as a highly-effective form of therapy if you are recovering from strain and injury, helping to facilitate and strengthen the healing process.

By adding P90X yoga to your training or fitness routine, you are also likely to experience greater levels of stamina during work-out sessions. This is caused by deep-breathing patterns that can enable a greater oxygenation of blood-flow around the body making it more difficult for tiredness to set in. As with other types of yoga, the technique can also relieve body-stress and tension – two potential consequences of rigorous work-outs that can also allow you to work-out for longer in a more productive manner. However, as P90X yoga can initially place fairly significant, physical demands on the body, it is important to adapt to it slowly and systematically, in order to avoid over-exerting your body. Taking a gradual approach, will allow your body to become more flexible at a measured-pace, reducing the possibility of straining muscles that may not have been strained for such lengthy periods of time, previously.

Whilst, some of the explicitly-physical benefits of this approach are very important for some people, it should also be pointed out, that this technique can also provide the mental-health benefits of other yoga forms. Regularly undertaking P90X techniques will enable concentration and focus, which can also help to enhance stamina levels.
