What can the ancient Indian science of ayurveda tell us about being healthy today?

What can the ancient Indian science of ayurveda tell us about being healthy today? 

Some of us are risk takers; others will never bungee-jump. Some thin, nervous people never seem to get warm, while other ruddy folks are always opening windows. Your wife might love hiking up a mountain on a Saturday afternoon, but you just know in your body and soul that it’s hammock-time. Clearly we’re different and we usually chalk our varying preferences and predispositions up to metabolism, personality or, more recently, to our blue-state or red-state status.

Rarely do we link who we are, the way we operate in life, to what we eat. We should, according to the ancient Indian health science of ayurveda. In this system (ayur means life in Sanskrit; veda means science or knowledge), different personalities and body types need different foods to thrive; it all comes down to something called your dosha type. If you’re like most of us, you don’t know a dosha from a donut. But as increasing numbers of 21st-century American munchers are finding, keeping your doshas in balance through your daily diet can be the key to controlling your weight, boosting your energy and mood, and preventing tons of common health problems. It’s tough to make the same claims for those donuts.

Doshas are metabolic currents that drive our bodies, called vata, pitta, and kapha. We inherit them in varying strengths from our parents, much like our DNA. Most of us are dominated by one dosha, and when it gets too strong, due to what we eat, our thoughts, and environmental factors, we feel bad, both mentally and physically. Too much vata, which is associated with wind, air and space, can make you sleepless and indecisive, for example. Knock that dosha back in balance by eating the right foods, the theory goes, and you’re making a command decision to sleep for eight hours straight.

As with its sister science, yoga, the ultimate goal of ayurveda is perfect bliss. To get there, hard-core ayurvedics follow complex diets, along with meditation, exercises, massages, and herbal therapies. That’s not for most of us. But you can still get surprising health benefits, ayurvedics maintain, just by following a diet that’s easy, accessible—no strange foods that are hard to prepare or available only in Indian specialty stores—and tasty to boot. “Even for someone who isn’t a committed ayurvedic this is a great way to eat,” says Jennifer Workman, a registered dietitian and exercise physiologist who runs The Balanced Approach nutrition and weight management program in Boulder, Colorado.

Fresh vegetables, grains, dairy, poultry, and fish (red meat is minimized, but there are no outright bans) are both food and medicine here. Even better, there’s no counting carbs, or tracking fats or proteins. It’s not a vegetarian, vegan, or raw-foods regime—in fact, ayurvedics discourage eating too many raw vegetables because they can be hard to digest. Instead, you just eat for your dosha, and let the calories be damned.



While there’s not much Western scientific evidence to prove that ayurveda prevents or cures illness, even some M.D.s use the diet. Nancy Lonsdorf got her medical degree at Johns Hopkins and has practiced ayurveda for 19 years. Most of the 8,000 patients she has treated live far from the organic fringe, but they still lost weight, gained stamina, and improved their moods within weeks, she says, even on a partial ayurvedic program. “I had one patient who didn’t change her exercise habits or do anything else, but still lost 25 pounds,” Dr. Lonsdorf says.  “The diet is incredibly healthy, and my patients are often surprised at how good the food tastes.”

Though ayurvedic practioners like Lonsdorf can be tremendously helpful, you can also feel confident going down this road alone—after all, fresh vegetables don’t have toxic side effects. How to get started? Slowly. Thankfully, ayurveda doesn’t require you to immediately replace all the Pop-Tarts in your pantry with seaweed-flavored rice chips. There’s an ayurvedic saying that lifestyle changes should be made “one-fourth at a time,” meaning just substitute dosha-friendly foods for 25 percent of what you’re eating now. You might begin with something as simple as sipping cranberry juice and sparkling water instead of diet soda at first. Change more when you’re ready.

Regardless of your dosha, ayurveda offers some overall eating guidelines. Again, they’re more common-sense than deprivation. For example, drink room temperature, rather than cold, water with your meal—ice water inhibits proper digestion. It’s better to avoid canned food, junk food, red meat, white flour, and white sugar; nothing you didn’t know already. Make lunch your largest meal, and limit your coffee and tea intake, and minimize alcohol, sodas, and sports drinks

Once you know what dosha you are primarily influenced by, you can start to change your diet gradually to maintain balance. To do this, ayurvedics categorize food according to six different tastes—sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent—all of which either enhance or reduce the power of each dosha. (They also group food by other qualities, such as heavy or light and hot or cold, but we’re not going for the ayurvedic Ph.D. here, just the B.A.) As the accompanying chart shows, there are plenty of familiar choices and tasty ingredients you can mix and match in the course of a day’s eating. A fiery pitta personality could breakfast on oatmeal with dates and almonds tossed in. On the other hand, a vata-dominant person, whose dosha tends to be cold and dry, could begin their day with a warming goat cheese omelet, hot cereal, and maybe some ripe figs. Sour tastes, including fermented foods, also keep vatas running smoothly, so yogurt or strawberries would be a good option here, too. A cool kapha character would do better with spiced-up eggs, munching a breakfast burrito or huevos rancheros; the hot peppers (classified as pungent) will counter that dosha’s lethargic tendencies.

That’s for maintenance, your regular eating program. At times when you’re not feeling and looking your best, go a little deeper to correct what ayurvedics would call a dosha imbalance. How can you tell when you need some food-as-medicine? Check for these following symptoms, then up the “prescribed” balancing foods and make more of an effort to reduce the imbalancing foods that aggravate your particular type.

-Worry, anxiety, insomnia, constipation, and dry skin mean the vata dosha is too strong. This can be most easily balanced with warm, heavy foods, like stews or tapioca pudding, that include butter and healthy oils. Lay off the astringent foods like cauliflower, lentils, and raw veggies; pungent foods like jalapeno peppers, radish, and black pepper; and bitter foods like coffee and chocolate.
-Digestive problems, anger, and resentment signal that pitta is out of whack. Temper it with additional cooling foods, such as vegetable casseroles and grains, with little butter or fat. Minimize pungent foods (which tend to be hot and spicy), excess salt, and sour foods such as oranges and tomatoes.
-Weariness, oversleeping, sinus problems, and weight gain are signals that kapha is out of balance. More light, spicy foods are the antidote, such as grilled vegetables with a mild pepper sauce, or lentil or bean soup. Scale back on salty tastes; sour foods; and foods like red meat, dairy, and seafood, plus maple syrup, pastries, and the like.

Pay attention to your cravings; in ayurveda they are not seen as moral weaknesses, just the body’s way of telling you to tune up your doshas. “Since vata is the cold, dry dosha,” says Workman, “when stressed a vata person might want something sweet, or heavy and warm, like a Big Mac or chocolate cookies to nourish that imbalance. The craving’s not going to cause problems, it’s the way you satisfy it. A box of Krispy Kremes might momentarily balance your vata, but screw up your digestion, which then throws you out of balance.”

Rather than the donuts (sorry), better to eat enough proteins and fatty acids to keep your blood sugar balanced, and then add ayurvedic sweet foods, such as warm milk and honey, or mangos, that will satisfy your cravings. Once your doshas are balanced, proponents say, your strong food cravings will be weaker or cease altogether. “If you pay attention, eventually your body tells you what food is good for you,” says Pratima Raichur, an ayurvedic practitioner in New York City and the author of Absolute Beauty.

Of course, ayurveda wouldn’t qualify as an esoteric ancient science if it weren’t full of complications and exceptions. For instance, some people have two dominant doshas to deal with; they’re vata/pitta, for example. Some ayurvedics change how they eat according to the seasons, and not all the foods in the same taste group will affect the doshas in exactly the same ways. But remember: Easy does it. You don’t have to achieve perfect ayurvedic balance right now, then maintain it until you go to that Big Yoga Class in the Sky. “Just changing your diet, without all the other elements of ayurveda, will improve your health by at least 40 percent,” Raichur says. Stick with the food that’s good for your type, and soon you and your doshas will be good to go.


 

Are you a chair potato?

Are you a chair potato?

 

Sometimes I just love technology, especially when it can save me from my sedentary self.
Who me, sedentary? A guy who plays full-court basketball for an hour, twice a week, who runs up the alp behind our offices every Friday (uh oh, only three hours away from my appointment with agony), who regularly rides his bike for hours on weekends, and plans hiking and rock-wall excursions with his strapping teen-age son? Me, a 155-lb. fightin’ fit couch potato?
Not exactly. It turns out I’m a new species of vegetation: a chair potato.
That’s right. At least according to a terrific story that mh.com staffer Maria Masters wrote for the September issue of
Men’s Health. In it, she details the stunning, and scary, new research that shows a direct link between the number of hours you sit in a chair every day (hey, that’s me!) and heart-disease risk (hey, that’s me, part two!). And I quote: “New evidence suggests that the more hours a day you sit, the greater your likelihood of dying an earlier death regardless of how much you exercise or how lean you are. That’s right: Even a sculpted six pack can’t protect you from your chair.”
And I don’t even have the six-pack!
But I did make note of the story’s silver lining: if i can find ways to escape my chair during the workday, I can dodge my chest-clutching fate. So I dove in online, and found the “In stride electronic stepper,” and my butt is back in gear.
Yes, it looks like something you’ve probably seen Richard Simmons pumping away on.
But consider this: The majority of the calories you burn any given day come from a process called non-exercise activity thermogenisis. (Brilliant piece by Jim Thornton, about metabolism and N.E.A.T. here.) That’s a fancy way of saying “calories you burn just moving around all day”—walking to your car, jawing with coworkers, stretching at your desk. If you can up that aspect of your life, then you can easily incinerate an extra 500 calories/day and burn a pound of fat per week.
And you can do that without a gym membership. You simply need to find excuses to move around more during the day.
My new excuse is now mounted next to my desk. When the phone rings, I’ll hop onto the electronic stepper, and fight off a
heart attack and love handles at the same time. Can’t wait for it to ring, and save me from a gruesome fate.

Himalaya Herbals Cystone
60 Tablets per Bottle

Benefits of Cystone: Treats & prevents Kidney Stones and Urinary Stones, Urinary Tract Infections, Burning Urination

It is known as CYSTONE

Himalaya cystone is one of the premier products that are being used world wide by people who suffer form ay trouble pertaining to urine. This herbal formulation is extremely beneficial in treating all your urinary tract problems.

 

Himalaya Cystone is a powerful Ayurvedic formulation that prevents supersaturation of lithogenic substances, controls oxamide (a material that precipitates stone formation in the kidney) absorption from the intestine and rectifies the crystalloid-colloid imbalance in the body. Himalaya herbal Cystone restrains calculogenesis by dropping stone-forming substances like oxalic acid, calcium hydroxyproline, etc., and causes their exclusion by micro pulverization.

Himalaya Ayurvedic Cystone tablets causes breakdown of the calculi and the crystals by acting on the mucin that binds the particles together leading to stones formation. Himalaya Cystone's antimicrobial actions are helpful in the prevention of urinary tract infections (UTI) associated with urinary stones and crystalluria. Cystone's antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory activities relieve ureteric colic and alleviate symptoms of tender and burning micturition (urination).

Dosage

Take 2 tablets of Himalaya Cystone twice to thrice daily with water or as directed by physician.

Side Effects

A Himalaya Cystone tablet has no known side effect if taken in prescribed dosage.

Indications and uses

Himalaya Cystone tablets are indicated in:

1.       Effective in both prophylaxis and treatment of adult and pediatric urolithiasis:

1.       Oxalate stones formed by oxalate deposition

Studies on Himalaya cystone tablets

Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Himalaya Cystone in Lower Ureteric Calculus

The present study evaluated the efficacy and safety of Cystone syrup, a polyherbal formulation, in lower ureteric calculus. The incidence of urolithiasis is high in developing countries, and in the northern and north-western regions of India . The study was an open, non-randomized, non-comparative, prospective clinical trial conducted as per the ethical guidelines of Declaration of Helsinki. Twenty-five patients having lower ureteric calculi were included in this study. Patients with any complication like severe pain, hematuria or obstruction requiring immediate surgery,

hydronephrosis, acute renal failure, multiple ureteric stones, pregnant or lactating women, women with childbearing potential without adequate contraception, hepatic / renal/cardiac disease were excluded. A thorough history and clinical examination was done before treatment and during follow-up visits every week till the end of treatment on day 28 along with recording of adverse events. All patients were investigated before and after the treatment for routine urine analysis

with culture and sensitivity and blood urea, serum creatinine, sodium, potassium, calcium, bicarbonate and uric acid levels. All patients also underwent abdominal radio imaging and ultrasound examination at baseline and at the end of the therapy. All 25 patients enrolled completed the study. On starting Cystone syrup therapy, a significant (p < 0.0001) symptomatic

relief of abdominal pain and dysuria was reported. There was a significant (p < 0.0001) reduction in the mean number of pain episodes from 2.72 ± 1.339 to 0.92 ± 0.8622 per day at the end of the therapy. A significant reduction (p < 0.0001) in the daytime and night time urinary frequency

was observed at the end of treatment. Disappearance of stones was noted in 11 (44%, p < 0.001) patients at the end of the 28-day study period. It was concluded that Cystone syrup is clinically safe and effective in the management of lower ureteric calculus.

Introduction

Urolithiasis affects 1-5% of population. The incidence is higher in developing countries, including India . It has been hypothesized that the main source of dietary proteins being cereals, unlike

meat in western countries, is an important etiological factor 1 . The northern and northwestern regions of India can be described as an endemic stone-forming belt due to a dietary pattern rich in cereals and pulses. Urolithiasis is a consequence of complex physicochemical processes and the major contributory factors are urinary super saturation, crystallization, calculogenesis and matrix formation. The sequence of events in the formation of any urinary stone can be: Urinary saturation, super saturation, nucleation, crystal growth, crystal aggregation, crystal retention and stone formation . Kidney stones smaller than 4 mm in diameter are most likely to be flushed out

in urine without any medical intervention, except occasional analgesics and antispasmodics that enable the patient to endure the episode, which may last several days. Kidney stones >5 mm in diameter are less likely to be flushed out in urine on their own. If the stone is larger than Urolithiasis is a consequence of complex physicochemical processes and the major contributory factors are urinary super saturation, crystallization, calculogenesis and matrix formation.

Experience with Cystone in Urolithiasis

INTRODUCTION Urolithiasis is a still mysterious disease even after extensive research in this field of urology. It is known since the dawn of history. Various sophisticated investigations, radiological and others have failed to pinpoint the exact cause and mechanism. However, various factors attributable to urolithiasis have been extensively studied in recent times. It is believed that when the urine becomes saturated with insoluble materials, because their excretion rates are excessive and/or because water conservation is extreme, crystals form and may grow and aggregate with one another to form a stone. Stones, which are larger in size and produce obstruction sufficient enough to produce damage, require surgery or endoscopic removal. When the stone is less than 4-6 min. in size and does not produce obstructive changes, it should be treated conservatively. Recurrent stone formation is also a problem in patients having urolithiasis. There is no satisfactory drug to dissolve stones. So I tried Cystone (The Himalaya Drug Co. ) in patients at my private hospital over a period of 3 months and have followed them up for two years.

 

COMPOSITION Each Cystone tablet contains: Exts: Didymocarpus pedicellata 65 mg Saxifraga ligulata 49 mg Rubia cordifolia 16 mg Cyperus scariosus 16 mg Achyranthes aspera 16 mg Onosma bracteatum 16 mg Vernonia cinerea 16 mg Shilajeet (Purified) 13 mg Hajrul yahood bhasma 16 mg

 

MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 8 patients were included in the study. All the cases had stones less than 6 mm in size. Most of them were ureteric stones. In case 6, the urethral stone was removed transurethrally as it was obstructing the penile urethra. Dosage Cystone tablets were administered, 2 tablets three times daily for adults and one tablet three times daily for the solitary child patient. This dose was given till the stone was expelled. Then the dose was reduced to one tablet three times a day for adults and one tablet daily for the child for four months. After one year radiological confirmation was done to look for recurrence, if any. All the patients were followed up for two years. They were symptom-free after two years and without any evidence of recurrence.
