Fighting Mental Health Issues with Alternative Medicine -Ajit Patel Wemet

For some people, hypnosis is an extremely effective method of coping with mental-health issues such as anxiety, stress and depression, although it can sometimes be difficult to include within busy routines and day-to-day lives. Therefore, as an alternative which can achieve similar results, self-hypnosis can be beneficial and can be conducted in any space, as long as it is quiet and private.

Once settling into your chosen space, the process can be kick-started by finding a comfortable position to sit in and minimise thought processes by listening to “white noise”, that is best found in the form of static between radio stations. If these days you only own a digital radio, you can buy an audio device that stimulates the sound of static. By this point you are ready to experience the 4 phases of self-hypnosis, which are known as “relaxation”, “deepening”, “suggestion application” and “termination”. The first level as the name implies, involves becoming deeply relaxed, by taking deep, rhythmic breaths and closing your eyes. This process can last from several minutes to half an hour and once it is completed, you will fall into the, “deepening state” in which you attain a sensation of profound relaxation by counting down from ten to one. Once you have completed the countdown, you will have arrived at the “suggestion application” stage, in which you can focus on what you wish to accomplish by engaging in self-hypnosis: be it stress relief, the pursuit of a healthier lifestyle, overcoming phobias or anything else that is a source of distress in your life. Finally, the session is ended with the process of, “termination” in which you count back up to ten in order to regain waking-consciousness.

Like all forms of self-administered, alternative therapy it may take a good few attempts to attain a hypnotized-state, and it may also be worth-while having several sessions with an experienced professional in order to properly understand how to do it and have any questions or concerns addressed.

The Powerful Benefits of Massage - Ajit Patel Wemet

The popularity of massages as a form of physical therapy is likely to be attributed to their multiple and positive benefits for the mind, soul and body – both in the short and long-term. The popularity of the discipline is also likely to be linked to its ability to act as a powerful antidote for the stresses and strains that people experience as part of their day-to-day lives.

Some people’s initial encounter with a professional massage are likely to be as part of treatment for a specific injury or physical condition that can be remedied by the application of a massage. Which can include back pain, tight muscles, limited body flexibility and impaired blood-circulation. Some people have also expressed that a massage can help fight anxiety and depression and optimise the body’s immune system.

For many people, massages are also associated with the relief of stress. Stress-relief is very important, as it can serve as a significant barrier to health and wellbeing. Chronic stress has a highly detrimental effect on the body’s psychological disposition, by making it very difficult to relax and remain calm in challenging situations. This can also lead to disrupted sleeping patterns, with the mind unable to clear itself sufficiently to allow the body to rest. Fortunately, massage can help you to de-stress which aids with sleep and can help the body become re-energised.

Getting a message can also provide a wealth of physiological benefits, these can include: the management of arthritic pain, improved breathing for sufferers of asthma and the regulation of blood-pressure; and with all these benefits in mind, its little wonder that massages are such a popular form of physical therapy.

Good ways of Easing Muscular Pain - Ajit Patel Wemet

Suffering from muscular pain is a very common ailment for most people due to the general, “wear and tear” that the body experiences in modern life. Fortunately, there are many types of equipment currently available that you can use at home to relieve it.

Firstly, massage chairs can serve as a highly effective means of soothing aching muscles and have settings that can target the areas of the body suffering from strain. The use of massage chairs can also help to reduce stress to the neck and shoulders, enabling the muscles to relax and prevent headaches. It can be well-worth using these after a long day sitting at a desk and they can also be used to help ease pain in your back and legs. Applying heat to painful areas can be a highly effective means of easing soreness and can be achieved with the use of rolling massagers that can help reduce tension when applied to affected regions of the body. Finally, water therapy is often used by many to de-stress and relax. This can be done very simply, by soaking in a warm tub with bath salts, essential oils and aromatic candles.

The effects of muscle-pain can also be reduced by making changes to your life-style. For instance, at the end of the day, it’s very tempting to collapse onto your couch and switch on the television or sit back for a night of gaming.  It might be worth from time-to-time giving your senses a break and doing something else like meditating, reading or listening to music. Similarly try and impose some, “me and quiet time” into your schedule, by turning off your mobile and staying away from emails. This only has to be done for a while to help your mind clear in order to stimulate the de-stressing process that can relieve body tension and subsequent muscle-aches. Sometimes, it can be highly beneficial to seek temporary refuge from the pressures of the modern world, and give your mind and body time and space to rejuvenate.

Fitness: Why we only feel on top of our game for two months - Ajit Patel Wemet

Recent research has discovered that the average Brit only feels fit and healthy for 61 days of the year. The rest of the time, we feel tired, achy and ill, meaning that for ten months of the year we’re feeling less than our best. The study polled 2000 people and found that one in four people feel permanently hindered by at least one ailment.

Research by the Spire Bristol Hospital has discovered the average person feels generally unwell and run down for at least two days of the week – these shocking statistics are a concern, and mean that the majority of people could be holding on to symptoms of illnesses which may need to be investigated by your GP.

Often, people like to believe themselves capable of coping with things and enduring problems such as illness but, in most cases, the illnesses people are feeling are easily treatable. You can make small changes to your lifestyle that could help you feel healthier and improve your feeling of wellbeing. Generally, those questioned complained of around eight separate occasions of illness each year, varying from coughs and colds, to flus and viruses. One in four stated that they get regular headaches, too, which can be a difficult thing to cope with when trying to navigate your work and social life.

The list of ailments suffered varied from general illnesses to stubbed toes and toothaches, which also added to people’s medical complaints which result in 61 days of the year being lost to illness. Monday mornings, the study suggests, are the time in which the feeling of sickness peaks though researchers are unsure why this is. It is advised that you seek medical help if you’re finding yourself suffering with ailments regularly, particularly if the same problems arise often.

Want To Lose Weight? Aerobic Regimes Beat Weight Training - Ajit Patel Wemet

While there’s no denying that weight and resistance training are great for building a toned and strong body, if you want to lose weight, there’s only one way to go: aerobic training. In a randomised trial which analysed the bodily changes to those who were overweight or obese, researchers looked at three modes of exercise and the effects.

Aerobic exercise consists of activities such as walking, swimming and running, and has been shown to have positive effects in those who wish to lose weight. Resistance training has, of late, been proven to be great for increasing the body’s metabolic rate, as well as showing health benefits such as improving glucose control. For burning fat mass though, there has been no conclusive evidence that resistance training can be beneficial.

In the study, participants were assigned to three groups and asked to perform different exercises – resistance training three times a week, aerobic training for twelve miles per week, and a combination of aerobic and resistance exercises three days a week. Those who were assigned to exercises involving aerobic activities showed higher results for weight loss than just resistance training – in fact, those in the resistance training group actually gained weight due to the increase in lean body mass.

While no singular type of exercise will ever show benefits for every body type or goal, there is now proof that resistance training on its own won’t provide you with the results you’re looking for with regards to weight loss. It is important to remember, as well, that exercise and the benefits are age-specific. Older adults who experience muscle atrophy will find that resistance training is beneficial to them. However, younger people will see better results with aerobic training. If you want to reduce your fat and body mass, the best option is to choose aerobic training – resistance training simply doesn’t offer great results in terms of burning fat.

Cardio Energy Systems: How Do They Work? - Ajit Patel Wemet

Although cardio workouts have been around for decades, it actually isn’t always the best form of exercise in terms of seeing results. If you’re new to cardiovascular routines, you’re in luck – knowing the mistakes many make beforehand will stop you doing the same, so you can see results far quicker and start to benefit from this great exercise. For example, knowing the energy systems prior to beginning can help you develop a truly effective regime.

Aerobic cardio involves activities such as stationary biking or distance running and are low intensity, as well as being quite time consuming. Although these exercises are great for burning fat, they don’t build muscle so it can be difficult to maintain the weight loss that you’ve worked hard to achieve. The other energy system is anaerobic, which is the opposite in every way – they are quick, reduce fat as well as building lean muscle, and are high intensity. The benefits you may see from aerobic exercises are invariably temporary, but anaerobic exercises provide more solid and consistent results. Muscle burns fat so the more of it you can build, the more chance you have of decreasing your level of body fat.

Sprints and interval training are both a great place to start, as they can provide brilliant results in next to no time. Sprinting creates fast twitch muscle fibres, which ups your athleticism. High intensity workouts may seem too much early on in your workout career, but don’t fear them – they’re vital for successful weight loss so the sooner you can include them in your exercise programme, the better. A full anaerobic regime can be completed in less than thirty minutes, so it’s ideal if you struggle to fit exercise into your week. With these amendments to your workouts, you’ll be seeing results in no time.

Posture Patch Up: Four Steps to Get You Standing Tall - Ajit Patel Wemet

You may not think your posture has a great influence on your wellbeing, but there are many benefits to walking tall and sitting pretty. Not only does the right posture help your weight loss wellness by making you look 10 pounds lighter, good posture conveys confidence, poise and leadership – which can help in the workplace – and can cause you to look 10 years younger. In fact, proponents of good posture even extend to fitness experts such as Certified Personal Trainer Glenn Kent, PhD, who has developed some simple exercises and stretches to help you keep your shoulders back and your head high.

According to Kent, ‘Good posture results when the muscles of the body align properly, allowing for efficient movement. When your body’s muscles and joints are balanced and supported properly, you’re better able to perform everyday activities, such as squatting to pick up laundry or running down a flight of stairs efficiently.’ However, Kent points out, ‘Few of us exhibit good posture, let alone perfect posture. In fact, poor posture often develops so gradually that you may notice its symptoms (back and neck pain, tightness and stiffness, increased injury and losses in your normal range of motion) long before you notice your shoulders hunching over.’

But why is it so important to improve your posture? ‘When you are poorly aligned, the joints in your body (e.g. shoulders, spine, hips, knees and ankles) do not fit together properly,’ Kent explains. ‘This causes some muscles to work harder than others. Over time, those muscles become tense while the others weaken, creating muscular imbalances that slowly devolve into poor posture. As posture deteriorates further, joint movements become restricted and the differences between tense and weak muscles places greater stress on your joints, which then have to compensate. This causes pain, stiffness and loss of motion throughout the body. But fix these imbalances, and your posture (and the pain associated with it) will improve.’ So here are four steps to a better posture:

1. Strengthen Your Core: Kent asserts, ‘Good posture starts with a strong core, which includes the abdominals (both the rectus abdominals that form the “6-pack” and the deeper transverse abdominals below them), lower back, obliques and hips. Strong core muscles don’t just keep your back healthy and resistant to pain and injury; they also hold your body upright, improve balance and enable you to move your body with greater control and efficiency.’

2. Fix Your Rounded Shoulders: Although rounded shoulders are common, that is not to say that they are normal. It’s not natural to hunch over a computer or behind a wheel, but that is what most of us spend our days doing, and our posture suffers as a result. However, Kent has the answer. ‘You can improve your posture by strengthening the weak upper back muscles, while stretching tight muscles in the chest, shoulders, lats and hips,’ he says. ‘As the upper back becomes stronger and the chest becomes more flexible, the shoulders naturally pull back—a sign of improved posture.’

3. Neutralise Your Tilted Hips: ‘Look at your belt line,’ Kent instructs. ‘Wearing your regular [trousers] and a belt, when viewed from the side, the belt should be level all the way around the waist. If your belt line is higher in the back and lower in the front, you need to strengthen the weak muscles in your hamstrings, glutes and abs, while improving the flexibility of your thighs and hip flexors.’

4. Retract Your Forward Head: Kent notes, ‘Most people think of the back and shoulders as keys to good posture, but the position of your head and neck is just as important. When viewed from the side, your ears should be above your shoulders.’
