Weight loss is one of the big topics-no pun
intended-on the late night television circuit. While flipping through the
channels after 11p.m., you are likely to come across several advertisements for
weight loss pills and diet supplements, each promising to assist you drop those
unwanted pounds and remove stubborn belly fat once and for all.
Let's face it, if these pills really worked,
America wouldn't be the top overweight country in the world.
There are types of alternative medicine, which
can help with weight loss, however, and with great results. While no
alternative medicine is a magic solution, practicing these principles can help
you become more limber, feel more energetic, and the end result-or side effect
if you will, is weight loss.
Take yoga for example. The low impact stretching
involved with yoga will help you feel less stressed, and as a result less
likely to over eat as a result of depression or anger. Acupuncture has exact
pressure points in the ear which help reduce cravings, and detoxifying teas and
herbs can help you feel healthier, and the side effect would be thinking twice
before deciding that you want to "pollute" yourself again with oily
and fatty foods. In this regard, alternative medicine is wonderful for loosing
weight.
The majority alternative medicines for weight
loss come in the form of detoxifying teas, energy supplements, and vitamins.
The exercise and diet plans are the basis, as they should be, for safe and
effective long-term weight loss. There is no magic potion to lose weight. In
fact dropping pounds and keeping them off requires regular daily exercise and a
change in eating habits, period.
However, to get you ready for weight loss, here
are some alternative medicine detoxifying teas and interesting supplements.
Take turmeric, ginger, and lemon-about a half
teaspoon each and the juice of half a lemon, and boil it all in 2 cups of
water. Drink every morning as a detoxifier before you start your diet.
All diets should consist of fresh fruits and
vegetables, and buying a juicer is a great way to make a habit out of eating
healthy. Please see your doctor before starting any kind of diet plan.
Visit your local food co op or herbalist, they
can get you set up with all sorts of alternative teas and nutrition advice, and
can refer you to a good homeopathic doctor who will evaluate you as to what
your individual nutrition needs are.
Bovine and shark cartilage are two dietary
supplements to hit the alternative market. Both have been used for years
outside of the United States and Britain, but now are big business in the
health food stores.
The most popular form of alternative medicine for
weight loss isn't really medicine at all, rather behavior modification through
hypnosis. Hypnosis doesn't make you rely on will power, that's one of the
reasons it's so popular.
How hypnosis works is that it examines what is
subconsciously holding you to the thinking and eating habits that keep you
overweight. Hypnotists believe that if the root cause of the obesity can be
alleviated, the patient will naturally begin to lose weight. It is actually a
very efficient form of alternative medicine, and overall can cost much less
than trips to day spas and expensive over the counter weight loss pills.
Through hypnosis you can let go of fears that keep you from eating healthy, and
begin to allow a positive energy flow through you, causing you to want to stick
to the new way of eating and exercising.
