Detox Diet Plan – Who Else Wants A Detox Diet Plan?
February 22, 2012 by Ayurvedic
Filed under Ayurvedic Treatment
I’ve been a bit obsessed with detoxing for the last few weeks. Even though I go skating in the cold, cold wind (often around -25C with windchill) every morning, I’ve been feeling a need to cleanse, mostly because my digestive system feels sluggish and heavy lately.
I’m all for shifting to a warmer diet in the winter, and including more cooked vegetables, grains and beans than I would in the summer, but I find that I need a bit of a lightening-up every so often.
It isn’t usually a problem, and I love taking a few days or up to a week of super-clean and light eating. Unfortunately, at this point Phil isn’t in the same phase as me and wants lots of warming, heavier foods. Even that wouldn’t be a problem, except that when I make a delicious meal for him for dinner, I want to eat it too!
So I’m going to take out my obsession on my blog, and go through a lot of information about cleanses and detoxes this month.
As it starts to warm up, spring is a perfect time to cleanse. Depending on the weather in your area, now might be a good time to go for it, or you can come up with a plan for when it does warm up enough.
Cleanses and fasts have become more and more common as people aim to detoxify their bodies. There are some intense versions, but a simple detox diet plan will work really well for you to kick start or get back on track in an overall healthy eating plan.
Understanding the different types, as well as their pros and cons, will help you plan a healthy detox to cleanse and re-energize your system. Different people have different goals going into a detox, but knowing the benefits of a detox diet plan can help motivate you to achieve your own goals.
Look to these benefits as the answer to why you would want to follow a detox diet plan:
Improve digestion
Reduce gas
Improve nutrient absorption from your food
Eliminate toxins
Break addictions or cravings, including an addiction to food in general or overeating
Discover hidden allergies
Boost energy
Kick start a weight loss diet plan or healthy eating plan
Periodic cleanse to reinvigorate healthy eating plan
In 2004, I graduated from University with all of the various licenses needed to be a commercial pilot. My first job was as a flight instructor.
What an unfortunate time to start developing an awareness of the environmental problems facing our planet, and for whatever reason, a keen desire to help solve them. Up and down and up and down in a gas-guzzling airplane all day just wasn’t going to cut it anymore.
Phil and I studied various health ideologies and read countless books and articles. We experimented with a 100% raw diet, studied eastern philosophies – including Chinese nutritional ideals and Ayurvedic science – and even fasted on green smoothies for a couple of weeks. We delved into supplementation, superfoods, vegetarianism, and then veganism.
I decided to become a Registered Holistic Nutritionist. And having become a fairly accomplished cook after experimenting with all of these different food philosophies, I decided to take that a step further and take some cooking classes. I eventually enrolled in the School of Natural Cookery.
And that’s why I’m here. With my Healthy Vegan Recipes website, I teach you how to live a healthy vegan lifestyle, including how to get proper nutrition, enough protein, vitamin b12 and other minerals, and how to make an amazing variety of simple, fast healthy vegan recipes that taste incredible for you and your family.
I do this through my dinner recipes on video, written blog on holistic health and nutrition, and more comprehensive information products that empower you to make healthy vegan meals, partially by following recipes, but also by learning how to do it without a recipe.
When not learning about the culinary arts and holistic nutrition, I love to camp, hike, figure skate, bike around town and take photos.
I guess the only other thing I want to say is that my website is not only for vegans. It’s for anyone who is interested in incorporating more vegetables into their diet. Even if you eat lots of meat, I hope you’ll tune in. And I would be grateful if you would leave a comment for me on any of my videos or blog posts that you like. I have a big list of subscribers on YouTube, but it is taking longer for people to find this website and I’m hoping to establish a positive community of health-minded friends.
What is Detoxification & When Should You Detox
February 19, 2012 by Ayurvedic
Filed under Ayurvedic Treatment
There has been a lot of talk about detoxification, detox diets and whether they are necessary, healthy, or appropriate for the body. Doctors are split over the controversial issue. Alternative medical professionals recommend a detoxification at least once a year especially with the increased concern over toxicity in our food, water, air, medicine and environment. Ayurvedic medicine, Traditional Chinese medicine and herbalism have been using detoxification for thousands of years. However, traditional medical practitioners dispute the reasons for the use of detoxification. They question the scientific basis or benefit behind detoxification because the body is an extraordinary healer with its own system of elimination.
What is Detoxification?
Detoxification is a physiological or medical removal of toxic substances from the body. Detoxification is used medically with drug withdrawal, decontamination of poison ingestion, dialysis, and chelation therapy. During these processes toxins and toxic chemicals are removed from the body. In the same manner, detoxification or detox diets are used to eliminate toxins that are consumed through our food and water, inhaled through the air or confronted within our environments. Detoxes are used to cleanse, rest, and nourish the body from the inside out. Practitioners who recommend detoxes believe that detoxing protects the body against disease and renews optimum health. Toxins are removed and replaced with healthy nutrients that the body desperately requires. Health is restored and energy and vigor are revitalized.
How does Detoxification work?
Detoxification enhances the body’s own elimination system by cleaning the blood and removing impurities from the liver. Although the kidneys, liver, intestines, lungs, lymph, skin and bowels are all part of the body’s elimination system, they can become compromised when overexposed to toxins, chemical and impurities. Now a days there are so many more sources of toxicity than there were 100, 50 and even 10 years ago. With technological advances in food, science and almost every aspect of living, our bodies are being exposed to harmful chemicals, irritants and pollutants throughout daily living. Food is contaminated with unnecessary additives, allergens, flavor enhancers, food coloring, and artificial preservatives. Not to mention that air and water pollution, radiation, nuclear power, drugs, cigarettes, alcohol and medications have harmful effects on the body as well. Compromised by these chemicals and toxins the body is unable to filter impurities properly, which causes an adverse affect on every cell within the body. This can cause specific symptoms to appear such as fatigue, mood swings, digestive problems, constipation, headaches and many more. A detox program rests the organs through fasting, stimulates the liver to drive out toxins, promotes elimination through the kidneys, intestines, and skin, improves blood circulation and refuels the body with nutrients. Detoxification works by addressing every cell in the body.
Types of Detoxification
There are many types of detox plans such as contrast showers, detox footpads, oil pulling, snakestones, body cleansing, water fasting, metabolic therapy, elimination diets, hydrotherapy, and colonics. Detoxes come in the form of liquids, supplements, herbs, diets and exercise. Each detox program differs in action and intent. Some work only with the bowel to remove rotting food remanence, others cleanse the liver or blood, and others aid in skin or kidney function. Women who are pregnant or nursing, children, elderly, or people with cancer, degenerative disease or a compromised immune system should not use detoxes as it could cause harmful side effects such as nutritional deficiencies which can lead to death. Detoxification is generally harmless and safe, however if you exceed the recommended time frame it can lead to nutritional deficiency. There is some risk associated with detox procedures such as colon cleanses which can cause perforation in the lining of the bowel, infection or water intoxication, however risks are low.
When should You Detox?
Recommended detox programs should be done 1-2 times a year depending upon your level of health. Or if you have symptoms such as unexplained fatigue, sluggish elimination, constipation, irritated skin, allergies, bags under the eyes, distended stomach, menstrual difficulties, mental confusion, aches and pains, headaches, and digestive problems. A short program normally lasts 3-7 days. Some practitioners recommend doing a cleanse or detox at the change of each season due to the overexposure to airborne pollutants, refined and processed foods, radiation, prescription medications, alcohol and drug use. The more toxins within your environment that you are exposed to, the more a detox may be necessary.
What should you expect after a Detox?
Depending upon which detox you decide to undertake, will determine how difficult it is on you mentally and physically. It may be difficult especially if you are doing an elimination detox where you stop eating or drinking certain foods or food entirely. During a detox, toxins are released from stored fat into the blood so they can be excreted. You may have decreased energy, skin irritation, headaches or mood swings while your body is eliminating these toxins. After a detox is finished, most people experience a boost in energy, improved mood, weight loss, decreased bloating, easier elimination, better muscle recovery, increased immune system and overall better health. Traditional doctors attribute these results to the limited or eliminated food, which requires the body to burn, accumulated and stored fats. However this has not diminished people’s interest or continued use of detox programs. Especially since detoxification has become a popular topic over the past decade and an increasing number of detox products have become available in the market. Ultimately, people will continue to use detox programs as long as they continue to have beneficial results, even if traditional medicine disputes the use of detoxification.

Obesity and best of Ayurveda

The Obese persons have shortened life, difficulty in movement and sexual intercourse, tiredness, bad body odour, copious sweating, huge hunger and severe thirst. They are prone to chronic diseases like heart diseases, hypertension, diabetes, stroke, infertility, arthritis, cancer and many other metabolic-disorders.
Obesity is described as ‘Medoroga’ in Ayurveda. According to Ayurveda, people with a Kapha constitution are more likely to gain weight through excess fat than a Pitta or Vata person. If parents are fat then the children also have a tendency to accumulate fat. . It is a chronic disease with a strong familial tendency.
The obese have Eight handicaps – Shortened Life, Difficulty in Movement and Sexual Intercourse, Tiredness, Body Odour, Copious Sweating, Ravenous Hunger and Severe Thirst. Obesity is the result of surfeit, when the individual gorges on rich, sweet, cold and fatty food; enjoys sleeping during the day, refrains from mental work and suffers from genetic disorders.
As fat accumulates out of proportion to the other tissues in the body, the tissue asymmetry impairs strength and shortens life span and the individual becomes averse to physical activity.
Excess fat hampers locomotion and sexual intercourse, which is aggravated by reduction in semen. Body odor is an outcome of the excess accumulation of fat, the association of fat with ‘Kapha’, and its diffusion and excess, which markedly increase sweating. As digestive power is strong in these individuals, ‘Vata’ is overactive in the stomach and causes intense hunger and thirst. Food is digested quickly and triggers the urge to eat more – if the desire is not met; the person suffers from several ills as a consequence.
The Aim of Treatment is to restore the balance in the proportion of muscles among tissues because the resultant firmness protects organs from disorders. The slimming or reducing measures involves an austere regimen that covers diet, medications and a wide range of activities. Panchakarma are employed to restore the balance of the unsettled ‘Dosas’– by detoxifying and purifying the body.

It is widely known how deadly cancer is. Those ghastly cells grow at an abnormal rate in the body, are as destructive and as life threatening as they can be and eat up the system with the due course of time. Once they attack a certain part of the body, you might subdue them from time to time but you cannot finish them off. They keep returning back to haunt you time and again. With the progression of science, there have been several methods to fight Cancer off. These include the likes of Surgery, Chemotherapy (the most common), Radiation Therapy, Hormone Therapy and Immunotherapy.
Considering this, cancer Treatment has had great success in India through Ayurveda. Ayurvedic Treatment through herbal medicines has had a defining role to play in curbing the effects of cancer and stopping its cells from growing rapidly. Ayurvedic Treatment aims at a healthy lifestyle.
It helps in balancing physical, emotional, spiritual and material aspects of life. The body is cleansed well from inside and the spiritual side of the person is strengthened further and brought closer to nature.
Cancer Treatment in India through Ayurveda has been established through three stages:
* The First Step of the Ayurvedic Treatment is Reduction of the Tumor Size. The Tumor keeps increasing with time and the medicines prescribed help a great deal in suppressing that growing tumor.
* The Next Step of the Ayurvedic Treatment would involve curbing the spread of tumor cells through blood. Once the cells start growing, they barge into platelets all over the body striking all the cells that come in their way. Within no time, the cancer cells are present in every platelet of the blood.
* The Final Step in the Cancer Treatment in India involves protecting the tissues from the side effects produced courtesy radiation and chemotherapy sessions.
This Three-Tier Ayurvedic Treatment of Cancer in India has produced many miraculous results and brought patients so near of achieving desirable results. Through Ayurveda, Cancer Treatment in India has received a huge shot in the arm through the advent of certain medicines such as Guggul, Podophyllum, Sadapuli, Ashwagandha, Amalaki, Heerak Bhasma etc. All these have gone the mile in ensuring a drastic reduction in tumor cells. They have also played a part in increasing body immunity and ensuring physical stability.
Treating the two ‘Doshas’, ‘Rasa’ and ‘Rakta’ has been an important part of Cancer Treatment in India. Treating the two of these has been possible through Ayurvedic Medicines such as Saariva, Manjishtha, Neem and Kanchnaar. That Ayurveda has segregated the Human body into 7 various tissues namely Rakta, Rasa, Mansa, Meda, Asthi, Majja and Shukra, all 7 of them get worked on through the above given plethora of medicines.
The cure for this deadly disease has had many wonderful progressions over the years. Indian Ayurvedic practitioners and medical experts can hold their heads high and claim proudly their work has had some real positive results and continues to make a difference to the live of Cancer patients.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Holistic Health

Ayurvedic treatment has five major kinds of sub-treatments. The first one is, Shirodhara or using medicated oil for health and vitality. In this kind of treatment, the traditional third eye in the middle of the forehead is used for the purpose. Special medicated oil is put above the third eye at appropriate distance and then poured over the area. It has been highly useful to cure certain highly painful diseases such as sinusitis, memory loss, insomnia, etc. amongst others and known to offer natural and deep relaxation.
Nutrition is given higher value in Ayurveda for it stresses on holistic health care. Moreover, Ayurveda believes that lack of nutrition causes several illnesses and for that reason nutritious foods should be taken to fill the required energy quota. Nutritional value required is highly individualistic dependent and for that reason each should adhere to his personal requirement.
Nevertheless, the food should not only be rich in calorific value but also in nutritious value i.e. it should contain required vitamins, amino acids, etc. amongst others.
Panchakarma is yet another method that is used in Ayurvedic treatment. Often called detoxing, Panchakarma has a five-action cleansing program. It not only purifies the body and brings the body back to its natural healthy state, but also helps in fighting against lifestyle issues and stress. Cleaning out unhealthy toxins from the body, Panchakarma is an individual depended process wherein the patient is given consultation, massage, herbal sweat therapy, special diet and nutrition advice, herbal teas and rejuvenatives, exercise and lifestyle advice, etc. amongst others.
Massage is one important part of Ayurvedic treatment that not only provides relaxation and improves blood circulation but also helps body get rid of toxins. Thus, when massage is done using specific pressure points there cannot be anything better relieving than a body massage. Professionals who provide massaging know well about the pressure points in the body and use them for higher outcome and great relaxation. Nevertheless, professional masseur should be hired for massaging as they only know what it takes to do good massaging.
Ayurvedic treatment is safe, provided it is used tandem with conventional medicines. One important aspect about Ayurveda is that it is holistic in approach and provides no side-effect medical solution for the diseases that have been tough to cure in other medical solutions such as Allopathy, Homeopathy, etc. Crucial fact about Ayurvedic medicines is that they can be adulterated with toxic metals; therefore, buyers should avoid all the dubious manufacturers.

Is There An Ayurvedic Treatment for Cancer
February 11, 2012 by Ayurvedic
Filed under Ayurvedic Treatment, Ayurvedic Treatment for Cancer
A lot of people are wondering if there is really an Ayurvedic treatment for cancer. You see, cancer is a relatively new series of diseases that can occur in different parts of the body. This is usually characterized by tumors and the growth of different kinds of cells that are lethal to the body. These are called cancer cells and they eat up the body from within. This is the reason why a lot of people who experience this lose their hope. They think that since they have cancer, there will be no hope for them unless they go through the series of treatments that the doctors have prescribed for them.
However, the problem with going with treatments like chemotherapy is that it destroys every cell on your body – healthy or not. While its aim is to target the cancer cells and make them dormant, it also destroys the other healthy cells and may cause complications in other areas of the body. The problem with traditional medicine is that it looks at a problem as an isolated case. It does not see that the body is a system and it works together to make us live. Illnesses are not isolated cases where you only have to treat the symptoms. You just have to treat the core and that is how ayurveda approaches the matter.
So is there an ayuvedic treatment for cancer? Yes. There is. And this is comprised not only by revamping your lifestyle through proper diet, exercise and stress management, it also includes medicines and metals that will help your body regain its health. On the surface, it may seem new to you but you will be amazed on how effective it can be.
Of course, the treatment will depend on what type of cancer you have. However, it all begins with the food that you eat. In Ayurveda, you are usually recommended to eat a bowl of boiled vegetables called Kitchari. You can also put other spices into your food. Of course, you may need to research some recipes that will go with your cancer. Different types of cancers may require different types of food.
Then, you should engage regularly in yoga. The great thing with yoga is that it is mentally and physically challenging. You get to relax your mind by freeing it up with stressful thoughts and you get to push your body to the limit by letting it engage in challenging poses.
People who have recently gone into ayurveda are surprised on how effective it is for them. But what amazed them even more is that it has the ability to cure a serious illness like cancer. You see, ayurveda views the body as a system. It eliminates all the unhealthy cells and replaces it with healthy cells while utilizing the natural healing power of the body. With this, you do not need to resort to artificial methods that may have some side effects. So now that you know that there really is an ayurvedic treatment for cancer, now may be the best time to partake in it and incorporate it into your life.
Ayurvedic & Yogic Treatment

Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way. When you sense danger, whether it is real or imagined the body’s defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction, or the stress response. The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life giving you extra strength to defend yourself, for example, or spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident. The stress response also helps you rise to meet challenges. Stress is what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at work, sharpens your concentration when you are attempting the game-winning free throw, or drives you to study for an exam when you’d rather be watching TV.
But beyond a certain point, stress stops being helpful and starts causing major damage to your health, your mood, your productivity, your relationships, and your quality of life.
Signs, Symptoms, Causes, and Effects:
Modern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so common place that it has become a way of life. Stress is not always bad. In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best. But when you are constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price. If you frequently find yourself feeling frazzled and overwhelmed, it is time to take action to bring your nervous system back into balance. You can protect yourself by learning how to recognize the signs and symptoms of stress and taking steps to reduce its harmful effects.
Causes of stress:
The situations and pressures that cause stress are known as stressors. We usually think of stressors as being negative, such as an exhausting work schedule or a rocky relationship. However, anything that puts high demands on you or forces you to adjust can be stressful. This includes positive events such as getting married, buying a house, going to college, or receiving a promotion. What causes stress depends, at least in part, on your perception of it. Something that is stressful to you may not faze someone else; they may even enjoy it.
All stress is not bad. Stress can initiate change, help us focus on the task at hand, and in some cases even save our lives. Yet, when stress builds up, it can result in the opposites and cause us to spin our wheels, keep us from concentrating, and cause bodily injury and even loss of life.
Tips for Stress Management:
The first tip in managing stress is to recognize your stressors. The next step is to put each of them in their place. The following stress management tips, based on some old and some new adages, can help you do just that.
When you rest in your actual awareness, you will perform activities with effortless ease. Letting go of control does not mean that activities will stop. It just means that you will stay as the watcher while life unfolds. It will be clear to you that you are not the controller but the awareness of all that is going on. Nothing stops when you relinquish a control you never had to start with. Only stress and suffering fall away.
If you try to stop worrying, your mind will worry more but if you just understand the truth of life deeply then the mind just relaxes and lets life be. The secret to stop worrying, is to do what you can and leave the rest to destiny. At a deeper level you realize that the I that is so terrified of what life will bring about does not really exist as anything other than a thought or idea. Of course when you do realize this you become enlightened.
You have to make a choice on whether you want to go through life in an insane manner or in a sane manner. Life is always asking you to make this one choice. Your negative thinking is nothing but a resistance to life itself. The only way to drop it is by brining negative thought patterns to the light of your presence and scrutiny. Then you realize there was no truth to them to start with.

Maintaining Balance is the Fundamental Principle of Ayurvedic Medicine
February 10, 2012 by Ayurvedic
Filed under Ayurvedic Medicine, Ayurvedic Treatment
Care for your life & health in a different way
Starting from the elemental research of the term “Ayurveda”, you will be capable of getting the exact aim of the holistic approach that this branch of medicine deals with. In fact, ‘Ayu’ which means life and the ‘Veda’ meaning science or knowledge complete the term Ayurveda. So, when we talk about the basic and most fundamental principle of the Ayurvedic medicine, we see that it is nothing but the science of our living with happiness and peace. It is needless to say that the whole field of this medicine branch deals not only with the diseases and health ailments rather it also teaches common people the happy and healthy ways to live a happy and better life.
It is a well known fact that the complete human body consist of five elements on the fundamental level in the name of space, air, water, fire and earth. The science of Ayurveda simply tells about the exact definition of man which is nothing but a beautiful miniature of the nature’s creativity. Similar to the western, Krethchmer and Sheldon medicines, Ayurvedic medicine also mentions about the three body types – vata (earth and air), pitta (fire and water) & kapha (water and earth). So, according to the Ayurveda, a healthy body comes into play when all the three body types achieve the equilibrium state thus, the balanced human body will prevent the occurrence of diseases.
In fact, this is a discipline which does not cater to the goals or objectives rather you should make use of the more conscious and meaningful word like pursuits or aspirations that depict the deep desires and belongings of the human beings. Ayurvedic medicine underlines the four main aims of our life that are mentioned below: -
- Dharma refers to virtue, merit, religion, nature and duties of the person which must be accomplished under the given time frame. They should be included in and reflected by your virtue of actions.
- Artha reflects a wider sense of meaning which can be understood as strive to obtain, desires, motive, cause and everything which can be simple and effectively perceived by your five senses like wealth, business, goods and profit.
- Kama tells you about the enjoyment of inherent desires, fulfillment of your sensual wishes and the objects of desire.
