What Are The Best Herbs to Use To Drop Pounds

I know I have been irresponsible in my use of herbs a  lot of times.  I now have a herbalist to guide me and an doctor who is not only an MD but also an Osteopaths.  I take herbs but under the supervision of my doctor.  I also know in my heart of hearts that herbs will not give me the control of my health I was looking for when I was using them.  I believe you should let your doctor in on all your are putting into your body.

Here is  a article about the quality of the herbs you put into your body.
Using quality herbs
1. Ginseng
Ginseng is valued for its ability to boost energy levels and speed metabolism. Panax ginseng, in particular, has been linked to weight loss benefits, with one study showing obese, diabetic mice given panax ginseng extracts not only had improvements in insulin sensitivity, but also lost a significant amount of weight after 12 days.1
2. Cayenne Pepper
Capsaicin, the compound that gives peppers their heat, may help fight obesity by decreasing calorie intake, shrinking fat tissue, and lowering blood fat levels, as well as fight fat buildup by triggering beneficial protein changes in your body.2
Part of the benefit may be due to capsaicin's heat potential, as it is a thermogenic substance that may temporarily increase thermogenesis in your body, where your body burns fuel such as fat to create heat, with beneficial impacts on metabolism and fat storage. Research suggests that consuming thermogenic ingredients may boost your metabolism by up to 5 percent, and increase fat burning by up to 16 percent.3 It may even help counteract the decrease in metabolic rate that often occurs during weight loss.
3. Cinnamon
This spice may help to boost your metabolism, and it also has impressive benefits for blood sugar regulation, making it an ideal seasoning for people with diabetes or pre-diabetes. Cinnamon has been found to significantly reduce blood sugar levels, triglycerides, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and total cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes, as well as increase glucose metabolism by about 20 times, which would significantly improve your ability to regulate blood sugar.4
4. Black Pepper
Black pepper contains a substance called piperine, which not only gives it its pungent flavor, but also blocks the formation of new fat cells.5 When combined with capsaicin and other substances, black pepper was also found to burn as many calories as taking a 20-minute walk.6 As an aside, black pepper also increases the bioavailability of just about all other foods -- herbs and other compounds – making it a healthy choice for virtually any meal.
5. Dandelions
Every part of the dandelion is edible and full of nutrition. And because they help slow your digestion, they can make you feel full longer, helping you maintain a healthy weight. Dandelions have antioxidant properties and contain bitter crystalline compounds called Taraxacin and Taracerin, along with inulin and levulin, compounds thought to explain some of its therapeutic properties. Along with being full of dietary fiber, dandelions also contain beta carotene, vitamin K1, vitamins and minerals, and are known for being beneficial for normalizing blood sugar and cholesterol, as well as cleansing your liver.
6. Mustard
The mustard plant is actually in the cruciferous family of vegetables (along with broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts, for instance). Mustard seeds have been shown to boost metabolic rate by 25 percent, which means you'll burn calories more efficiently. In fact, just 3/5 teaspoon of mustard seeds daily may help you burn an extra 45 calories an hour.7
7. Turmeric
If you're a fan of curry, you're probably also a fan of turmeric, as this is the yellow-orange spice that makes the foundation of many curry dishes. Curcumin, one of turmeric's most thoroughly studied active ingredients, reduces the formation of fat tissue by suppressing the blood vessels needed to form it, and therefore may contribute to lower body fat and body weight gain.8
Curcumin may also be useful for the treatment and prevention of obesity-related chronic diseases, as the interactions of curcumin with several key signal transduction pathways in the body result in improvements in insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and other inflammatory symptoms associated with obesity and metabolic disorders.9
8. Ginger
Ginger is another warming spice that has anti-inflammatory properties and is known to help soothe and relax your intestinal tract. Research also suggests that ginger may have thermogenic properties that help boost your metabolism, as well as have an appetite-suppressant effect when consumed, suggesting a "potential role of ginger in weight management."10
9. Cardamom
Cardamom, an aromatic spice with a spicy-sweet flavor, is another thermogenic herb that helps boost your metabolism and may boost your body's ability to burn fat. Cardamom is a popular herb used in Ayurveda, an ancient holistic system of medicine and natural healing from India.
10. Cumin
Cumin is useful for digestion and energy production, and may improve glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes. The spice has a long history of medicinal use, and has also been found to enhance memory and provide potent anti-stress benefits.

    Choices To Help You Lose Weight


    Different things work for different people and although these are not choices I would make for myself I see how one of my closest people suffers from being overweight.  She is a wonderful creative person. She is a spiritual woman who is good to everyone, however, for whatever reason she is heavy.  She may use it as a defense but for whatever reason she should have the choices presented to her as should every human being who suffers from being overweight.  When I was younger and running with a crowd of girls, I did all of these things and others to  be thin and then it was like it is for everyone it bounced back and forth and so did my health. 










    1.  The  Weight Loss Patch

    Perhaps the most appealing benefit of using a patch is that it is so easy to use.   No pills to remember to take, no special diets, no required exercise routine.   Naturally, sticking to a healthy diet and exercise program is best for your overall health, but if that is difficult for you to adhere to all of the time, the patch may be a solution that works for you.

    A weight loss patch that you place on your body will deliver the active ingredients by trans dermal delivery, meaning  through the skin.  The patch ingredients will go directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and liver. Simply apply the patch to a smooth area of your skin and change it every 3 days.   That is all of the maintenance that is required.

    A patch can even be used occasionally when you are traveling and know you will be eating out a lot, or for those times you are too busy to cook the proper foods.  A patch that suppresses your appetite will help you develop good eating habits that will help you maintain your ideal weight in the future  ~ no more yo-yo figures.


    2.  Appetite Suppressant Pills

    Curbing your appetite to stop the influx of calories in the first place seems to be the logical way to lose and maintain your weight.  However, we are so bombarded by confusing claims everywhere for appetite suppressant pills ~ in print, on the radio, on television, even on billboards when driving, that it is difficult to know which diet pill will really help take off those pounds ~ and keep them off..

    Some diet pills will cause your heart to race, your hands to shake, or an overall "wired" feeling.  To avoid these problem, stay away from products that contain  Ephedra, Ma Huang, and Ephedrine.







    3). Carbohydrate Blockers



    Perhaps you prefer not to have your appetite suppressed, but instead would like to eat all of the pasta, bread, rice, and potatoes you want.  If this sounds more like your style, then you might want to try a carbohydrate  blocker.

    Scientists have discovered, and thoroughly tested a method to allow us to eat the foods we love and not gain weight.    We can now stop the normal conversion of starchy foods to sugar before it can pass through our digestive system and store as fat on our hips, thighs, buttocks and stomach.  Derived from white kidney beans, the resulting carb blockers, (starch neutralizers), are a completely natural product.  They work by neutralizing the Alpha amylase enzyme that digests starch.

    By neutralizing this digestive enzyme, the starch from our food does not get digested.  Instead, it remains intact and does not convert to sugar.  It simply passes through the body undigested and acts as a fiber  ~ which is a very good thing.   We get more fiber going through our intestines while avoiding the conversion to sugar and the resulting fat storage ~  a definite win-win situation.

    Over the past several years, there have been many positive studies to determine the effectiveness of carb blockers and their ability to help lose weight.   One study was performed at the Northridge Hospital Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA, over an eight week time period.

    It reported that participants saw an average weight loss of 200% more than those taking a placebo, and lost an average of 1.5 inches around their waists.  This was 43 % more than those taking  the placebo.  Plus they reported  having 13% more energy, even though it is not a stimulant.

    Whether you choose patches or pills, prefer to eat starchy foods, or use carb blockers, some things to look for when buying diet products are that they:

    1) Contain all natural ingredients
    2) Do not have harmful side effects
    3) Offer a 100% money back guarantee

    In today's 'chaotic world' we seem to be spending less and less time at home and more time rushing around meeting 'dead lines' at work. Stress and pressure has become part of America's staple diet, convenience food the 'norm'. The result: a nation over...

    Enjoying Yoga to Live Healthy Aging



    Yoga is a sort of exercise. Yoga assists one with controlling various aspects of the body and mind. Yoga helps you to take control of your Central Nervous System (CNS) and more. Enjoying yoga on a daily scale will build you up, which you will notice changes (Good changes), such as a boosted self-esteem. Your body will feel stronger also. For more than 5000 years, people have enjoyed yoga.


    Yoga derived from the India nations, which many believed that the act has helped millions of American citizens take control of their body and mind. Yoga has proven to reduce stress, which promotes the nervous system helping it to stay strong.  Yoga when enjoyed on a regularly scale is a great method to help you with many pressures. Yoga combines spirituality, exercise, positive thinking, breathing and so on to help you enjoy healthy aging.





    The Pros and Cons in Yoga:
    Yoga is a valued practice for many people worldwide. Yoga incorporates fitness, health, gymnastics, and training in a set of rules. Yoga helps you to maintain or loose weight. Yoga is a stress reducing machine. Yoga will train your mind, since it teaches you to control your thoughts through meditation and breathing. Breathing right is essential to yoga’s creators. When you practice yoga, it keeps you in contact with your inner self. You learn to balance your mind and body, which leads to good health. Your emotions are controlled as well, which means fears, doubts, and other negative influences will not take control of your life. Rather you will have control. As you practice yoga, you will feel comfortable with you and the people around you. The world will become yours, since you learn to communicate effectively and stop sweating the small stuff. The cons in yoga, includes that some types of yoga training is not right for everyone. Another con inside yoga is that you sometimes have to modify the workouts to benefit your body type and to withhold the workout suited for your strengths. This is not a con necessarily, but it can be if you have to figure out where beginners start.

    How to get started:
    The first thing you should do is see your family doctor. Make sure you are able to enjoy the type of yoga you choose. When your doctor approves of your choice of yoga steps start out slowly. Guide your way into mediate exercising. Yoga will put you in connection with your spiritual side, so prepare to find a new you. When you first start yoga, perhaps you would benefit from joining groups that practice yoga. The group sessions may inspire you to continue your journey to healthy aging. Having support is essential for all of us, which yoga groups can become your support team. If you cannot find a group in your area, visit your local library. You can also purchase books that train you how to enjoy yoga. Videos are available as well.

    FROM my own particular practice and exploration, I realize that yoga is by and large something worth being thankful for. The twisting, extending and profound breathing can restore, quiet, recuperate, reinforce, lift inclinations, bring down the danger of coronary illness, build adaptability and equalization, counter maturing and enhance sex. To put it plainly, the advantages are numerous and typical while the genuine perils have a tendency to be couple of and nearly uncommon.

     Incredibly, reports from clinic crisis rooms demonstrated that, relatively, men got harmed more regularly than ladies and endured harm that was far more regrettable, including cracks, disengagements and smashed backs.

    It appeared well and good. Ladies are no doubt understood to be more adaptable than men. Macho gentlemen, yoga instructors let me know, again and again utilized their muscles to compel themselves into testing stances and got hurt. The general numbers were moderately little yet sufficiently substantial to contend that men who did yoga ought to practice alert.



    Where do I go after I have trained in yoga?
    After you have taking the steps to get started, you will need to find a quiet area that makes you feel comfortable. You want to avoid interruptions while practicing yoga.

    When will I notice the change in me?
    Like everything in life, you will not notice a change in you right away. It takes time to notice or feel the changes. If you do this like your suppose to do on a regular basis you will see some changes gradually. Keep in mind that yoga is teaching you how to control your mind, body and emotions. Work with yoga and yoga will work with you.

    Beginning up another practice may come effortlessly to you in the event that you've been physically actuve  through your life, however in the event that you're flabby, don't go straight for a stroll in class. Numerous studios offer amateur classes with props for adjustments, and some even tailor to older women and men.  When you are new to a discipline you can remind yourself to sit in a resting kids position or just lie back and pass on the harder moves until your body is more used to the exercise.
    "There's a long way to go, and a great many people more than 50 run into issues like tight hamstrings, which influences arrangement in such a large number of distinctive stances, I have always wondered why they have 20 year old yoga teachers. There is a whole market out there for baby boomers. I have considered becoming a teacher their would be a very good market for someone who is of the same age group. 20 years olds can never know what an 70+ body feels like or can do.

    In case you're considering beginning a yoga routine post-50, look through the rundown beneath for five medical advantages of the antiquated anxiety alleviating practice for more established grown-ups.

    1. You Get The Benefits Of Movement - Without The Strain.

    Activity is a urgent piece of sound maturing, however high-power cardio or quality preparing can likewise put strain on the body. As indicated by anxiety master Dr. Kathleen Hall, consistent activity lessens the danger of death by a third and the cuts the danger of constant sickness by 40 percent. Yoga can be a phenomenal low-effect exercise alternatives that is simpler on the body than exercises like running or weight-lifting.

    "Yoga helps individuals incorporate an activity program into their routine without a percentage of the defeats that you can undoubtedly run over in distinctive preparing frameworks," says Norlyk Smith. "Yoga does offer quality preparing on the grounds that you utilize the heaviness you could call your own body in may of the stances. Be that as it may, dissimilar to standard quality preparing, in light of the fact that you're not including any weight, you're more averse to get harmed."

    2. Expanded Flexibility.

    The tender extending of a yoga stances can go far in helping you create more prominent adaptability, which can guarantee that you keep up a decent scope of movement as you get more seasoned. A restricted scope of movement, which regularly decays as the body ages, makes more established grown-ups inclined to falls and inevitably impede every day exercises.

    "Yoga activities parts of the body that may not be practiced in some other projects," Norlyk Smith says. "One is spinal adaptability... There's a yogic saying that 'the body is as youthful as the spine is adaptable.' I imagine that is an impression of the significance of keeping the spine malleable and keeping the course up in the spinal harmony."

    3. Yoga Can Relieve Menopausal Discomfort.

    Certain yoga stances can likewise help facilitate the hormonal variances of menopause. Attempt postures like The Bridge, Seated Forward Bend and Plow to mitigate uncomfortable indications of menopause, from hot flashes to uneasiness to agonizing monthly cycle.

    4. Advances Good Bone Health.

    A tender yoga practice is alright for those with osteoporosis, as well as be powerful in averting and abating bone thickness misfortune, as per medicinal chief of Manhattan Physical Medicine Dr. Loren Fishman. Whether you're looking to avoid osteoporosis or to ease torment from a current bone condition or break, delicate curving postures and extends can be gainful.

    "I know [yoga] can help in light of the fact that I've done the studies," Fishman, who has done far reaching research on yoga and osteoporosis, told Huff/Post50 in a past meeting. Alluding to a study including grown-ups with a normal age of 68, he said, "We did a bone mineral thickness (DEXA) check, then we taught a large portion of them the yoga, held up two years, and did another output. What's more, not just did these individuals not lose bone, they increased bone. The ones who didn't do the yoga lost somewhat bone, as you would anticipate."

    5. Yoga Keeps The Mind Sharp.

    Taking calm time out for yourself through a week after week or day by day yoga practice can help diminish stretch, and keep you focused and empowered.

    "At the point when your body capacities better, you're going to feel better," says Norlyk Smith. "You'll have more vitality, more energy, and most yoga professionals will say that standard yoga practice bails level out one's mind-sets."

    Three Tips on Eating to Develop a Healthy Body



    It is much easier to lose weight in a group than it is going it alone. You can even join a group online like weight watchers, or a diet journal. My diet journal works for me best because it keeps track of my medication and my supplements. It doesn't just keep track of calories but  helps me to keep track of the food I am eating so I am getting a variety. I am trying to stay with a modified version of the Dr. Weil's Anti-Inflammatory Diet  This is not so I lose weight but it is to keep the pain at bay and not have to take pain pills which I feel is my doctors only answer to my pain  She wants to send me to a pain clinic. I have been there and learned what I could, physical therapy was a better alternative for me. So anyway I am focusing not on losing weight but on having a healthy body.  So here are some of the things I do to drop some pounds because the lighter I am the less I hurt. That is a great motivator for me. I walk with one friend just maybe a mile a day. We walk to this wonderful little restaurant, we have one cup of coffee that is all we are allowed per day because we found that coffee increase pain for us. Not for everyone but for me and my friend. The rest of the day I drink herbal teas, green tea, they are packed with minerals and antioxidants.

    I feel very fortunate I love veggies and fruit and I am not so fond of meat.  I eat meat but in moderation. I started cutting back on meat because I did not have the money to eat a lot of meat. So I started having one day a week that I ate vegetarian.  Then I cut down on the portions of meat I ate.  I started eating more beans, brown rice, lentils, split peas, whole grains.  The first year I did this I lost 20 pounds now it took a whole year to lose it but 20 pounds is a lot.  I either juiced for one meal a day or ate a huge salad. I learned to make things like veggie chips. I made dips out of things I thought I would never eat and loved them. Like I made a kale dip, an egg plant dip.  I began experimenting with vegetarian recipes for and soups, a lot of them had meat but by putting them in soup, salad or a casserole I got a little meat and a lot of veggies. I ate fruit without sugar for desert every meal. It took away that craving for sweets.

    I started making dates with my friends to go to the gym. Or I met them at the mall and took the bus there instead of driving. I would get off one stop ahead and walk the rest of the way.  I started concentrating on one heavy house hold task a day. Like washing windows. I only have a storm door, one big living room window and one big bedroom window. So I would wash them inside and out once a month. Or I would clean all the kitchen cupboards once a month. It accomplished a clean house and got me moving.  Another friend and I did 15 minutes of belly dancing three times a week. I parked as far out in the parking lot at the store as I could and walked further. I made a game out of moving my body not to lose weight just because I wanted a healthy body.  I learned all these back exercises that were for reducing back pain they were not strenuous but they helped the pain. Again I was moving just to be moving and it felt good. The first year I did this I lost not only 20 pounds from not eating so much meat and eating more veggie and fruit but about another 15 pounds from the increased movement. I found it was so much easier when I did this stuff with a friend.  I also went to the forum of my food journal and set goals with the friends I made there. It made me accountable to someone.


    3. Drink Less Alcohol.

    When you get together with friends, it often involves eating, drinking alcohol or both. Alcohol is very high in calories and causes you to feel hungrier so you eat more. Have a glass of water between each alcoholic drink. This will slow down your alcohol consumption and help you to feel full. You can combat unhealthy snack foods by bringing your own healthier choices or hosting a party with a health-conscious theme. The sensation of hunger and thirst are very similar so if you feel hungryFeature Articles, try drinking a glass of water first. You may just need to hydrate your body.  I personally do not drink alcohol so this is not a problem for me. I do like non-alcoholic wine and beer with some foods and I found that I got the benefits of the antioxidants without the alcohol.  I normally drink lots of water. So that is not a problem for me. I also do not drink sodas I never acquired a taste for it so lucky me.  I drink ice tea made of herbal tea, or green tea.  If you have a weight loss tip that does not involve dieting please share it with us in the message box. I do not believe dieting works. I know that slowly but surely changing the way you eat and drink works. I also know that just moving to feel your body move and to lessen your pain works for me. But for me a diet never worked. I would take off the weight and put it right back on so I threw out the scales and began focusing on being healthy. I now weigh less than the insurance charts recommend and I never dieted at all to take it off.

    My friends and I did out heavy cleaning together. My friend Donna comes down and we do things like clean the cupboards or wash the windows. Then the next day I go and help her at her house. The task is lighter and more fun when you share it.  Do you know that waists lines were about 6" smaller before high tech.
