What is Organic eating, if posture isn't? ?

I received a mail from one of my clients, consulting for low back rehabilitation program structure with a  " P.S. ORGANIC DIET PLAN  please" mention.

I chuckled and replied,   "will do, if your lifestyle is Organic too!!" .  Farm fresh and Organic is a trending urban diet protocol. In almost all breakfast discussions I sit with few potential health groups, the topic is mostly about an organic food , store and authenticity but less are we concerned about it's  efficacy Intrinsically.

What is Organic eating , if your lifestyle isn't? From the Potassium nitrate in the toothpaste to mosquito repellent inhalation in your bedroom, everything is synthetic and why should the banana  alone be farm fresh?  and why is that a plain water a big fuss than a treated water  in a plastic bottle?

Every basic living style becomes completely organic if we start inculcating all the most unpopular but once practiced Indian culture and habits than regarding organic in the toiletries, cosmetics and food alone. Healthy living is a genuine commitment with a systematic plan which is not complicated at all if you can recall and imply your grandparents' way of living in every aspect.  Can you remember your Grandmother, who always instructed to cross legs and sit straight and not to fix palm on the floor while you eat, and every time you slouched the living app reminds you to erect the spine, that always irritated us and some of us also never wanted to sit with her boring instructions while eating.

In India, we had this exclusive floor sitting hospitality, which we had to swap after  assumptions of dining space, furniture  and crockery  became statement luxury. Crossed - leg sitting on the floor or Sukhasana in Yoga is a research in the west. In India,  it was a practice even before it became a study.  You would have come across articles and informations on crossed leg sitting on the floor, Human Beings are bipedal locomotives with hypothetical centre of gravity for us to stabilise ourselves on a base of support  (floor), since the human body is a segmented system,  the stability of the body depends upon the stability of its individual system. In the crossed leg sitting position you don't take the stress of the gravity and about 30% of your body's weight is transmitted to the floor.  This paves a way to an hassle free digestion process to be carried on by the brain without multitasking on the alignment of the body to force systems unlike standing and sitting on chair(accordingly to the ergonomics).

Sukhasana or Crossed leg sitting is a posture where you abduct (open ) your thighs in a way the outer aspect of your ankles touches the floor.  The abducted  (opened out) thighs creates enough room to the lower aspect of the abdomen, enhancing digestion at its optimum. Standing also creates enough lower abdominal space but with a major disadvantage of persistent shift in the centre of gravity which results in flatulence. Erect Crossed leg sitting is the most effective  (organic😁) posture to eat food. Organic Eating in Organic Posture, is the answer to all the confusions on why your body isn't  turning healthy even after choosing "ORGANIC DIET ONLY".

Benefits of Sukhasana/Crossed leg sitting:

1. Weight Reduction!
2. Flexibility!
3. You avoid Muscles cramps due to flatulence!
4. You will not binge eat!

"Thanks to your Organic Rehab medicine."

Low carb Lifestyle - Begginers

A traditional “low-carb” diet has 40% or less calories coming from carbohydrates, and there’s no denying that many have lost weight and kept it off successfully with this lifestyle. It’s popular for a reason, but it certainly is not the only way to lose weight—and it may not be for everyone. Eating a low-carb diet (especially a restrictive one) affects your blood sugar levels, which can adversely affect how you feel. It may also be tough to maintain over time. Carbohydrate cravings are common at the beginning of a low-carb diet because your blood sugar may dip lower than the level your body is accustomed. You can experience unfavorable side effects as your body adjusts to this new state. The low down on low blood sugar: we all experience it differently and to different degrees. The signs and symptoms are general enough that they could be caused by issues other than low blood sugar. They range from being mildly to downright uncomfortable and include shakiness, nervousness or anxiety, chills, irritability, lightheadedness, headaches, hunger, nausea, fatigue, blurred vision, lack of coordination and more. Depending on your individual reaction to eating low carb, you may have none to many of the signs and symptoms described.If you choose to experiment with a lower-carb lifestyle, here are  tips to make the transition both more manageable and sustainable:

Deal with blood sugar lows:

It may be tough to tell your reaction to low blood sugar since it varies from person to person. When starting a low-carb diet, be on the lookout for the signs and symptoms of low blood sugar (see above). If you experience them, eat a small serving of a carbohydrate-rich snack such as a piece of fruit, some crackers or a slice of bread.

Choose balanced, nutritional foods:

Make those carbs count by choosing high-quality carbohydrate foods—like whole grains, fruits and vegetables—that are packed with fiber, vitamins and minerals. Choose high-quality proteins like eggs, legumes, chicken, tofu and lean cuts of beef and pork. Opt for healthy fats from foods that contain monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, such as fish, nuts, avocados and olive oil

Stay hydrated by drinking more fluid

If you’re slashing carbs, you’ll most likely eat (and digest) more protein. For your body to break down and use protein optimally, it’s going to need plenty of water. To help you stay hydrated, here are 25 life hacks for drinking more water.
Be wary of rapid weight loss. If you shed more than 2 pounds per week on your diet, be careful. You’re likely losing more water weight and lean muscle than fat. Up your calories to lose weight at a slow but fat-busting pace.

Gauge your happiness, and know when to add back the bread:

Be honest with yourself: Are you happy eating low-carb foods? Do you feel good? Our bodies can adapt to eating varying amounts of carbohydrates, but for some, the carbohydrate cravings and blood sugar side effects can be constant struggles. If you feel like your diet is a little too low in carbohydrates, don’t be afraid to add some back. Aggressively cutting carbs isn’t the only way to lose weight, and certainly isn’t for everyone. Keep this in mind because you’re more likely to stick to your goals, lose weight and keep it off if you feel good and are happy with what goes into your body.
