Understanding your BMI

BMI(body mass Index)

understanding your bmi

Weight is usually one of the first topics that come up about personal health. But the number you see when you step on the weighing scale doesn’t give you the full picture of how healthy (or unhealthy) you may be.
Those looking for a clearer picture of what their weight means to their health may want to see metrics other than weight. One of such metrics is the body mass index, or BMI, which is an estimation of body fat that can be calculated using a person’s height and weight. Much could be known by looking at the body composition, which refers to the proportion of fat tissue you have, relative to lean tissue (muscles, organs, etc.).

Health care professionals use BMI, as well as advanced body composition tools, to assess their patient’s risk factors for certain weight-related health conditions. You can use readily available tools — such as online BMI calculators, skinfold calipers, and bioelectrical impedance devices — for a deeper understanding of their health and physical fitness from the comfort of their own home. Of all the mechanisms for evaluating physical fitness is BMI which is the most relevant and practiced.

What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is simple to calculate. BMI is a person’s weight in kilograms (or pounds) divided by the square of height in meters (or feet). Doubtful)
Your BMI will fit into one of 5 bandwidths:
under 18.5 – underweight.
between 18.5 and 24.9 – healthy range.
between 25 and 29.9 – overweight
between 30 and 39.9 – obesity
40 or over – severe obesity

If your BMI puts you in the “overweight, obese, or severely obese” category, you should consider losing weight if there are additional risk factors, such as smoking, inactivity or high blood pressure co-exists.
The writings on the wall are very clear. The risk for various cardiovascular diseases, stroke, blood pressure, kidney problems, cancer, arthritis, and other chronic diseases starts to rise at a BMI of 25. This is why people are encouraged to be at a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. Men tend to be at the higher end of the scale and women toward the middle and lower end, but your desired weight may vary depending on your individual health goals.

While BMI is used to categorize people’s weight, BMI charts are mainly used for working out the health of populations rather than individuals. Within a given population there will always be people who are at the extremes (have a high BMI or low BMI). A high or low BMI may be indicating a poor diet condition, varying levels of activity, or high-stress level.

Just because someone has a ‘normal BMI’ does not imply that they are healthy because, BMI doesn’t take into account body composition, for example, muscle, fat, bone density, sex, and other factors which can impact your weight and may lead to an inaccurate reading. BMI calculation per se is not a suitable measure for some people including children and young people under 18, pregnant women, and athletes.
If you have lost weight because you have been poorly or not eating under a normal source, or you don’t know the reason, you can consult Takshana Ayurvedic Physician.

A BMI of 25 and over are described as a ‘higher BMI’ and maybe just be one of the many reasons some are at higher risk of adverse health conditions, including type 2 diabetes.
For many, achieving a BMI within the ‘healthy range’ is not a reality. We, at Tatkashana, do have an Ayurvedic treatment for obesity. Irrespective of your weight, there may be changes you want to make to improve your health. Making a few small changes to your lifestyle can improve your health. Losing a small amount of weight, 5-10%, and maintaining this weight loss by Ayurveda can have a significant positive impact on your overall health.

Why your weight range is important
Health problems associated with a higher BMI in the obesity range include:
type 2 diabetes
stroke
heart disease
some cancers
issues with fertility in women
high blood pressure
osteoarthritis
fatty liver disease
kidney disease

Health problems associated with a lower BMI as in the underweight range include:
weakened immune system
osteoporosis
anemia
issues with fertility in women
palpitations

We at Tatkshana provide Ayurveda treatment that ensures safe and effective treatment, customized as per the individual health condition.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Arthritis

Ayurvedic Treatment for Arthritis

Arthritis is an autoimmune disease affecting any race. Its prevalence among our population is about 1%. Though it affects all age groups, it is more commonly seen between the age group of 50 years and above. Women are affected more than men. It primarily affects joints and their covering called the synovial membrane. Gradually, it leads to degenerative changes in the joints. During the disease progression, it may affect many other organs such as the eyes, lungs, heart, kidneys, salivary gland, nerve tissue, and blood vessels.

The striking feature of Arthritis is the morning stiffness, loss of appetite, and general weakness, which sometimes may be associated with mild fever and myalgia. The common joints affected are the knee, wrist fingers, neck, and ankle. As joint inflammation advances, more and more synovial fluid is produced and the joints become swollen. The degenerative changes happening to the joint are not due to the swelling, pain, or stiffness of the joints, but due to reasons unexplained. In advanced stages, inflammations affect cartilage, bones, and ligaments, and deformity of joints happens. In general, there are periods of remission and bouts of flare-ups or increased disease activity.

Takshana, the best Ayurvedic hospital in Bangalore combines certain nutrients, Ayurvedic medicines, Yoga, and exercises. You can treat arthritis to a large extent. Arthritis is due to an altered immune system that mistakenly attacks its own body’s tissues thus affecting the lining of the joints. Inflammation in the lining of the joints causes pain and swelling resulting in bone depletion leading to joint deformity.

Ayurveda aims at eliminating the disease from its root. Ayurveda prevents the recurrence of the ailment and prevents further damage. Ayurvedic treatment for arthritis comprises lifestyle changes such as diet, and exercise while taking Ayurvedic medicines and other nutritional supplements are systemically administered.

Doshas and ailment

Ayurveda states that the human body has to have the three doshas, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, in a balanced situation. When there is an imbalance of doshas, ailments set in. Arthritis is due to the accumulation of Vata dosha. Dosha has to be expelled through a natural process and that is what ayurvedic treatment aims at.

Symptoms associated with arthritis include:

Joint pain and tenderness, loss of joint function, joint stiffness, fatigue, weight loss, and weakness.

Causes of Arthritis

Some disturbance of the body’s immune system is considered the root cause of arthritis attacking the lining of the joint membranes and the associated synovial membrane. The synovial membrane is small sacs filled with synovial fluid that eases joint movement and reduces friction caused in the joint during movement. When the synovial membrane is inflamed, it causes pain and swelling in the affected joints, damaging the cartilage and bone within the joint, gradually losing joint the shape and alignment, resulting in deformity. Frequent and high intake of heavy and incompatible foods, indigestion, and a sedentary lifestyle, can cause an imbalance in the body system and affect the immune mechanism of the body. Age, Environmental/ Atmospheric Conditions, Pollution, and Heredity factors are other factors.

Ayurvedic treatment for arthritis will take into account these factors before proceeding with the treatment.

Diagnosis Arthritis

Clinical examination of the joints including x-rays, certain blood tests, and evaluation of the symptoms confirms the presence of arthritis in the joints. The course of treatment will be as per the degree of arthritis symptoms.

Ayurveda Treatment for Arthritis

Ayurveda believes in alleviating any disease condition by changes in the day-to-day lifestyle habits along with natural medications to completely balance the doshas and thereby treat arthritis. It is aimed to reduce the symptoms through a systematic and tailor-made treatment plan. We at Tatkshana provide Ayurveda treatment for arthritis that ensures safe and effective treatment, customized as per the individual health condition.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Infertility

Ayurvedic Treatment for Infertility

Ayurvedic Treatment for Infertility

Ayurveda explains infertility as a condition in which a couple cannot contribute to conception due to a biological inability caused by different factors. In women, infertility can also be described as the inability to carry the pregnancy to its full term.

Due to high stress, poor dietary choices, sedentary lifestyle, and environmental factors, infertility in both men and women is not an uncommon problem. The number of couples coming forward to expensive fertility treatment methods has also been increasing substantially.  In this context, it makes sense to resort to the traditional treatment procedures that Ayurveda offers, to holistically approach the infertility challenge and facilitate the process of conception.  Tatkshana, Ayurveda hospital, Bangalore is the best Ayurveda Hospital Bangalore, to treat infertility.

In Ayurveda, the reproductive health of both men and women depends on the status of the Shukra dhatu – the reproductive tissues. Shukra dhatu is responsible for the production of the egg/ovum in women, and it can be adversely affected by numerous reasons including lack of a balanced diet, due to physical or mental disease, poor digestion, etc. This may obstruct the reproductive channels. Ayurveda mentions the three doshas, i.e. Sadhaka Pitta, Apana Vata, and Prana Vata that rule the female reproductive system. Hence, the Ayurvedic treatment for infertility in women aims at balancing these three doshas and thus healing the body. Hormonal imbalance contributes much to women owing to the disparity in doshas for which Ayurveda is the solution.   Panchakarma treatment, yogasanas, and Ayurvedic medicines have been proved beneficial in case of male infertility.

Consuming foods containing folate is advised as it aids in building new cells in the body and prevents the occurrence of birth defects like neural tube defects. Certain products that must be included in the diet are milk, nuts, ghee, dates, saffron, bean, peas, honey, and spices like turmeric and cumin.

Exercise or Yoga to Balance the Hormones: Regular exercise or Yoga keeps the body healthy and balances the hormones. It also increases the possibility of conceiving. Exercise and Yoga, reduce stress and help with fertility issues as well. Some of the yoga postures for women’s reproductive health are Nadi Shodhan Pranayama, Bhramari Pranayama, Viparita Karani, and Hastapadasana.

As infertility in women is majorly caused when the reproductive tissue or Shukra dhatu is deprived of proper nutrition, Ayurvedic treatments for ovulation aim at moving the nutrients from food to effectively nourish the Shukra dhatu.

Swedanam: Swedanam is performed to induce sweat and expel toxins with it. Herbal steam is sent all over the body while keeping the Head outside. The body is enclosed in a wooden box hoarding the steam.

Vamanam: It helps to get rid of undigested food through vomiting. Thus, Vamanam therapy is an essential detoxifying therapy where vomiting is induced to clean the GI tract.

Circulation ensures the proper transport of nutrients as well. Moreover, it enhances ovarian, tubular, and uterine functions and corrects fertility disorders.

Treatment of Infertility in Men

Male infertility is usually caused because of its affect on either sperm production or sperm transport. This includes varicocele, infections, ejaculation problems, tumors, hormone imbalances, defects of tubules that transport sperm, etc.

Role of Ayurveda in Diabetes Treatment

Ayurveda in diabetes treatment

Originating in ancient India, Ayurveda is a traditional medicinal practice with roots tracing back to 1000 BC. The primary goal of Ayurveda is to maintain equilibrium between the 5 basic elements (Panchamahabhutas) of earth, water, fire, air, and ether or vacuum within oneself through the theory of the 3 life forces or doshas. The doshas consist of vata, which correlates to ether and air, pitta, which represents fire, and kapha, which equates to the elements of earth and water. Vata, pitta, and kapha are the doshas of the body, while rajas, tamas, and satva are the doshas of the mind. According to Ayurveda, striking an equilibrium between the doshas corresponds to good health. Ayurvedic practitioners make use of individualized diet, exercise, and lifestyle as well as procedural, medicinal, and herbal prescriptions in order to bring their patient’s doshas into optimal balance. 

The primary medicines used in Ayurveda are derived from plants; however, metal, mineral, as well as marine- and animal-derived materials are also used.  Integrative medicine, which combines Eastern and Western practices, is on the rise with the hope of rebalancing health and wellness.  Many case reports have shown the use of traditional medicine such as Ayurveda as being beneficial and even curative to a number of chronic illnesses. The use of Ayurveda in type 2 diabetes, a chronic, yet treatable disease, has shown marked improvement on patient outcomes in numerous case reports.  Type 2 diabetes involves a lack of sensitivity to insulin and the subsequent inability of the body to regulate blood glucose levels. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes and primarily results from unhealthy lifestyle choices. According to the American Diabetes Association, when possible, type 2 diabetes should be treated with exercise, diet, and lifestyle modifications. However, progression to oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin will likely be necessary at some point during the course of a patient’s disease process as their pancreas is unable to keep up with amount of insulin necessary to compensate for the body’s resistance to insulin. 

Overtime, high blood glucose has major complications, including damage to the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, eyes, peripheral nerves, digestive system, wound healing ability, and sexual response and leads to complications during pregnancy. A small reduction in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of less than 1% has been shown to have a clear association with improved patient outcomes.  Because both the cause and treatment of type 2 diabetes are related to diet and lifestyle, the ancient medicinal practice of Ayurveda, which is rooted in diet and lifestyle, is a promising traditional approach to the type 2 diabetes treatment. Due to the large portion of the population suffering from type 2 diabetes and the serious complications that result from the disease, health-care costs resulting from this illness are astronomical. Thus, the use of Ayurveda in treating type 2 diabetes should benefit more than just those who are suffering from diabetes.

The top 10 plants used in Ayurvedic type 2 diabetes treatment are bitter melon (M. charantia), Fenugreek, Indian Kino Tree, Gymnema, Turmeric, Tinospora, Margosa Tree, Holy Fruit Tree, Ivy Guard, and Pomegranate.  Each plant helps treat diabetes in different ways. For example, studies have shown bitter melon reduces polyuria, which partially prevents renal hypertrophy, while also reducing urinary albumin excretion. Water extract of the Indian Kino Tree has been used in treating diabetes since ancient times. Each of the plants has been studied in groups of human or animal controls and has recommended uses. With each plant having vastly different properties and each person having a different manifestation of the doshas, their utilization is different for each patient.

Chromium is an element responsible for maintaining normal glucose metabolism and is found in the same area of the pancreas where insulin is produced. Plants and herbs contain elements which maintain glucose metabolism in similar fashion to the way in which insulin regulates blood glucose levels. As such, these natural resources have the ability to assist in type 2 diabetes treatment

Practitioners of Ayurveda do not recommend only 1 course of action for their patients. Each patient comes into the clinic with different symptoms, diets, lifestyles, medical complications, support systems, and spiritual beliefs. Thus, the treatment plan is often tailored toward these individualized aspects surrounding a patient’s life in order to bring their doshas into a more perfect harmony.   Ayurvedic medications may act through potential pancreatic as well as extrapancreatic effects, with probable mechanism of action including delaying gastric emptying, slowing carbohydrate absorption, inhibition of glucose transport, increasing the erythrocyte insulin receptors and peripheral glucose utilization, increasing glycogen synthesis, modulating insulin secretion, decreasing blood glucose synthesis through depression of the enzymes glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1, and 6-bisphosphatase, and enhanced glucose oxidation by the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase-dehydrogenase pathway.

Myths & Facts about Diabetes

Myths $ Facts | Diabeties

Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body cannot regulate the amount of glucose in the blood. Regulating the blood sugar can be due to less insulin or no insulin (Type I diabetes); body responding poorly to insulin (Type II diabetes); or Diabetes during pregnancy (gestational) which will subside after delivery.  There are few myths that surround diabetes; while the fact remains otherwise and scientifically proved, the myths are so deep rooted that they over showdown the facts. Following are the common myths and facts about diabetes

  1. Diabetes is caused by eating too much of Sugar or sweet food 

Not necessarily. Diabetes is a chronic disease that is marked by high blood glucose levels, which result from the body’s inability to produce insulin or respond to it efficiently.  Insulin is responsible for reducing blood glucose levels in the body when it is too high. Although eating sweet food may not cause diabetes, a diet high in sugar and fat can lead to obesity, increasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Moreover, Sugars are simple carbs which are of high glycemic index. This Property, makes sugars or sweets contribute to elevated levels of blood sugar. When insulin is low, the reduction in blood sugar can’t be achieved and this stage is termed diabetes.

  1. Patients on Insulin have more serious Diabetes than those on Oral medications 

Patients with type 1 diabetes are not able to produce insulin due to an immune disorder affecting the pancreas. Therefore, oral medications that stimulate the production of insulin by the pancreas are not suitable. Such patients require insulin injections to control their blood glucose level.  For patients with type 2 diabetes, initial treatment may involve only oral medications or insulin injections. Some patients may require a combination of both treatments to achieve optimal control of their blood glucose levels. Therefore, it is obvious that variations in treatment are individualised, than general.

  1. Amputation is inevitable for Diabetics 

Excess blood sugar decreases the elasticity of blood vessels and causes them to narrow, impeding blood flow. This can lead to a reduced supply of blood and oxygen, increasing the risk of high blood pressure and damage to blood vessels. High blood pressure increases the force of blood through your arteries and can damage artery walls. When poorly controlled, diabetes can lead to blood vessel damage in the long run, which in turn leads to complications like foot ulcers and amputation, nerve damage, blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, and even stroke.  However, such complications are avoidable if diabetes is properly managed. Owing to this, it is important for diabetic patients to go for regular screenings of their feet, eyes and kidneys to monitor for the above mentioned complications, which could be best avoided.

  1. People with Diabetes should avoid Carbohydrates 

Carbohydrates may raise blood glucose levels as they are broken down into glucose to provide energy for the body.  However, carbohydrates are present in a variety of foods (including fruit and vegetables), which may also be important sources of other nutrients. Hence, it may not be practical to totally avoid carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates take time to break-down compared to simple sugars. Transit time helps insulin to act.  Consulting a dietician, who can offer advice on a suitable diet for diabetic patients is recommended.

  1. Diabetics can eat Snacks or Candies with No added sugar or that are Diabetic-friendly 

Snacks or candies that have no added sugar or that are made for diabetics are preferred alternatives to regular snacks, since they may contain less sugar; the sugar in these products may have been replaced by artificial sweeteners.  However, snacks or candies tend to be of low nutritional value and can be high in fat. Hence, it would be a good practice to take a look at the content of the products before consumption. It is all about adding calories, which is a complete no.
