Body Satva Essentials

By Prabhakar Shetty, Body Satva Team Belly fat accumulation is now becoming a universal problem for even adolescents and the middle aged, irrespective of gender. For many decades, it was considered as just a problem of excess energy intake and low energy expenditure . This assumption spawned a multi-billion dollars industry of ‘fad diets’ and exercise regimens. Yet, even those who lost weight, regained it quickly . Many drugs were also introduced for reducing fat, but the results were moderate and not enduring. Various scientific studies of Diet and Exercise, concluded that only a combination of hypocaloric diet and exercise produces significant fat loss, but the combination of diet and exercise has to be continued throughout the lifetime to prevent weight regain . Yet, there are significantly large number of people who cannot achieve their fat loss goals. Fatty tissue or adipose tissue is made up of cells called Adipocytes . Studies showed that the size of the Adip...

By Body Satva Team           www.bodysatva.com All of us wish that we should look beautiful or handsome throughout life. One of the fundamental aspects to remember is that ‘beauty is not skin deep’ .  The skin is an indicator of the state of your health. Indeed, beauty begins deep within your body , and is conditioned by your own dietary habits, attitude and the environment. Intrinsic Skin Aging Deep within the cells of your body, there are genetic programs which get switched on or off as age advances, irrespective of the environment or your attitude and habits. This process is known as intrinsic skin aging , which is inevitable but can be slowed down. Intrinsic skin aging manifests by signs such as increased dryness, wrinkles, and skin thinning. Chronic mental stress and oxidative stress (OS) accelerate intrinsic skin aging. Intermittent fasting or calorie restriction slows down intrinsic aging. Extrinsic Skin Aging Extrinsic skin aging...

By Body Satva Team          www.bodysatva.com www.bodysatva.com The way our body handles the macronutrients, carbohydrates, proteins and fats is very fascinating. Here we shall try to present a layman’s way to understand this complex and fascinating series of mechanisms. The demands of survival during periods of famine have caused various adaptations due to which we have survived through the ages. The way human beings handle money, could be a very useful analogy to understand the complex processes. The body spends energy the way an ‘absolute miser’ would spend money. Intake of macronutrients can be considered as earnings. This ‘absolute miser’ has devised various means of storing his wealth. He never ever spends more than what is necessary. Even if there are huge stores of wealth, he will cut down expenditure drastically to preserve and increase the stores. This ‘thrifty’ habit of the body served us well over the ages. Today, it is turning into a lia...
