But if you were to choose one, I would say exercise would result in faster weight loss unless you are eating a massive amount of calories. Basically with exercise, if you can burn more calories than you take in, then you should lose weight. With dieting, it's a matter of cutting down your calories below what you normally burn each day. The problem with dieting alone is that you will probably feel tired and weak often because you are sort of starving yourself. </p> http://healthruns.com/health-forum/topic/what-is-the-best-way-to-lose-a-weight#post-221 Thu, 06 May 2010 06:26:23 +0000 kelvinwaugh 221@http://healthruns.com/health-forum/ <p>People are do their diet for improve their health or lose their weight.These are normally used to lose weight.You can daily mostly eat fruits and vegetables that are currently available in-season.If you need to lose weight, choose a well balanced diet food such as Weight Watchers, rather than a fad diet.Use low-fat milk-dairy products in eating. maintain a proper diet and your weight.

In some cases you may even have to increase food intake after you set your foot on accelerating your physical activities. The aim should be strengthening your body along with attaining good looks and not only weight shedding. </p> http://healthruns.com/health-forum/topic/some-reasons-why-you-should-practice-yoga-daily#post-83 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:02:44 +0000 raj 83@http://healthruns.com/health-forum/ <p>There are no side effects of Yoga if done properly. Even if you do one posture more then the others, yoga balances everything within the body and don't harm you at all.<br /> The two most important aspect of yoga are: no jerks and timings of inhaling,<br /> exhaling and holding breathe. </p> http://healthruns.com/health-forum/topic/some-reasons-why-you-should-practice-yoga-daily#post-81 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:54:41 +0000 angie 81@http://healthruns.com/health-forum/ <p>I heard so much of good things about yoga. Any side effects? Or bad side of practicing yoga? Just curious here. </p> http://healthruns.com/health-forum/topic/what-is-the-best-way-to-lose-a-weight#post-77 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:50:48 +0000 angie 77@http://healthruns.com/health-forum/ <p>Let's put it this way. Have the other as variable and the other as constant:</p> <p>Choice one is: same amount intake of food and get some fat burning exercise.<br /> Choice two is: same degree of physical activities and restrict yourself with proper diet.</p> <p>So which of the two would result to better weight loss?</p> <p>MY CHOICE?--&gt; one. Exercise gives you much more than weight loss. It strengthens your body, increase your stamina and refreshes you. </p> http://healthruns.com/health-forum/topic/what-is-the-best-way-to-lose-a-weight#post-65 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:22:49 +0000 Anish 65@http://healthruns.com/health-forum/ <p>I think exercise will burn off you fat </p> http://healthruns.com/health-forum/topic/what-is-the-best-way-to-lose-a-weight#post-58 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:26:52 +0000 mommybing 58@http://healthruns.com/health-forum/ <p>I would change the 'or' into 'and'...diet and exercise.

The changes will be evident and result almost instantaneous. Your body, which is otherwise rigid, thanks to the sedentary lifestyle, will experience a new whiff of freedom instantly after a few yoga sessions.</p> <p>Massages all body parts: Ever heard of massaging the internal organs of the body? Yoga is perhaps the only form of exercise, which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner. It directly or indirectly touches the glands thus massaging it and giving a relaxing therapy to the body.</p> <p>Cleansing and Detoxification: Yoga has a set of advanced activities, which helps cleanse and detoxify the body. It helps throw toxins out of the body and keeps the body clean from within. This keeps the body and the mind well functional.</p> <p>Muscle Toning: Muscles that have become slack, flaccid, weak, loose can be firmed and tightened by yoga. Regular practice of yoga helps tone the body making you a piece of true envy.</p> <p>Beyond the body: Yoga increases the Somatic and Kinesthetic awareness. It improves the overall mood and brings about self-acceptance and self-awareness. Anxiety and depression decreases, concentration, memory and learning ability improves. </p> http://healthruns.com/health-forum/topic/should-yoga-schools-be-regulated#post-31 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:07:12 +0000 raj 31@http://healthruns.com/health-forum/ <p>It is necessary. Yoga is really beneficial if done in a proper way, if not, it may have some bad effects on your body, specially at the armature or the newbie stages. I have seen a lot of people starting in a wrong way, like having jerks while acquiring postures and then that goes on till the very end. We should have quality teachers to tell them the right way in early stages. </p> http://healthruns.com/health-forum/topic/some-reasons-why-you-should-practice-yoga-daily#post-30 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:56:03 +0000 raj 30@http://healthruns.com/health-forum/ <p>A really few good points mentioned above.<br /> For me it is not that much technical but still effective. People practicing yoga regularly have better health, mentally and physically and this is good enough a reason to follow them. </p> http://healthruns.com/health-forum/topic/some-reasons-why-you-should-practice-yoga-daily#post-8 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:56:55 +0000 blupa 8@http://healthruns.com/health-forum/ <p>1) Going with the flow: Yoga gets your blood flowing, which helps your circulation, which means you get more oxygen to your cells, which function better as a result. Healthier cells fight off better when you come under attack. If you get sick, you may not be sick for long.</p> <p>2) Lymph Lesson: when you contract and stretch your muscles, move organs around, and come in an out of yoga postures, you increase the drainage of lymph. This helps the lymphatic system fight infection and dispose of toxins at the cellular level. Again, you're able to fight anything off stronger and more efficiently.</p> <p>3) Fighting the worry worts: Yoga lowers cortisol levels, the stress hormone that can build up in our bodies. And we all know that an abundance of stress, compromises your immune system.</p> <p>4)When you practice yoga, the stretching and relaxation helps to alleviate constipation, getting rid of those toxins that your body might otherwise hold on to. Ayurveda, a sister science to yoga, confirms that alot of illness is born by not getting rid of those toxins in the body, they build up over time and this leads to illness and even disease. </p> http://healthruns.com/health-forum/topic/should-yoga-schools-be-regulated#post-2 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:30:48 +0000 blupa 2@http://healthruns.com/health-forum/ <p>If you search the web for Yoga Teacher Training schools, you will be inundated with hundreds of styles and approaches in almost every corner of the globe. All of these programs promise to graduate exceptional, knowledgeable teachers with a penchant for presenting the practice of yoga in a safe and accessible way. But as the number of Yoga schools explodes, are the thousands of new teachers they are producing every year really credible and safe? </p> <p>In New York, the state Department of Education doesn’t think so and is requiring Teacher Training schools to obtain a Vocational License similar to what any technical school would have, and have threatened 79 yoga training schools with closure and up to $50,000 dollars in noncompliance fines if they don’t. These stricter regulations may be a trend in the yoga world as its popularity continues to grow, and more and more people are becoming students and teachers.</p> <p>Though it is not a requirement to become a teacher training program, many of today’s yoga schools are registered with Yoga Alliance, the industries current supervisory agency. Yoga Alliance is not affiliated with any state or national governing body, and seeks mainly to uphold the standards of the ancient practice of yoga as well as ensure the credibility and safety of the teachers that graduate from a registered program. The standards of a Yoga Alliance registered school are broad though quite thorough and help students and potential teachers to know what to expect from the registered program.</p> <p>Whether or not to bring more regulatory standards into the scope of yoga is an ongoing debate. Currently, there are no requirements or standards that one must meet to “teach” yoga, though more and more people are choosing to train through a registered school before going out into the world to teach. Students, also, are becoming more educated on how to choose a certified teacher. But, the practice of yoga, just as any physical practice, can have its risks. Risks that won’t necessarily disappear with stricter regulations. </p> <p>What could happen if yoga schools become state and federally regulated could be a double edged sword. On one side, yoga will become much more of a business than it already is potentially losing the individual creativity and interpretation on which many schools thrive. Schools may often have to teach, or not teach, based on regulations with materials being standardized or omitted based on the opinions of people in business suits who may or may not know anything about the practice and teaching of yoga. But, conversely, having your school or your certification recognized by a state and/or federal licensing board may elevate the credibility and the compensation of yoga teachers. As a fellow yogi/physical therapist recently pointed out, in the 70’s physical therapy was an emerging art that was not state or federally regulated, thus physical therapists weren’t viewed with the respect and credibility that they have today. With regulations and standardizations, physical therapy has grown into a well-respected field which is not only credible but also well compensated. Maybe the potential is there for yoga, too.</p> <p>What do you think about the regulation of Yoga schools? </p>
