Healthy Weight Loss Tips for Savvy Seniors

Healthy Weight Loss Tips for Savvy Seniors Weight loss is an important topic for people of any age, especially in the United States. Currently, more than one-third (41.9%) of US American adults are obese. The obesity rate is most severe for middle-aged people (Baby Boomers, age 45-64), but they’re also alarming for seniors (over 65). Nationwide, 38.5% of seniors are obese. That trend is concerning because obesity can lead to health risks such as stroke, cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. More than one-quarter of seniors have diabetes, which is the seventh-most common cause of death in the US. The Center for Disease Control estimates that one in three adults could have diabetes by 2050. That’s why it’s vital to slim down and keep the pounds off. To do it the safe way, read on for some tips and advice from Yoga Mind Over Matter. Eating Right Nutritionists often advise people trying to lose weight to follow the "80/20” rule. In other words, 80% of weight loss is eating right, while 20% is exercise. Which makes sense. Let’s say you walk 5 miles around the park. Afterwards, your FitBit tells you that you’ve burned 550 calories.

Tools for Jumpstarting Your Yoga Practice

Tools for Jumpstarting Your Yoga Practice One of the great things about yoga is that you can practice it anywhere, at any time, with little to no equipment. Of course, that doesn't mean you can't benefit from adding some tools and technology to improve your yoga practice, especially when you're a bonafide yogi. Whether you're struggling to master a headstand, want to be more mindful, or just want to take your yoga practice up to the next level, Yoga Mind Over Matter hopes these tools and tips will help you achieve your yoga goals. 1.

What is Ayurveda?

What’s Ayurveda? Good Day, I’m so grateful to share with you this ancient method of wellness. I am asked often, What is Ayurveda? This question always reminds me of when, I myself asked the same question (: My curiosity triggered, I needed to know more. Those days were dark for me, simply said, I was in desperate need of Natural Healing! Enough about me, let’s look at the basics. The history of Ayurveda is said to be thousands of years old. In Sanskrit it translates as, The Science of Life. It is a natural system of medicine, focusing on preventative care, such as; proper diet, herbal remedies, exercise/yoga, meditation, breathing techniques, massage and aromatherapy. Western medicine refers to this as Holistic. An Ayurveda lifestyle brings a balance to mind, body and spirit. We are all a combination of all five elements, air, water, fire, earth and spirit/space. The elements combine in our bodies to form 3 energies. These energies are referred to as, Dosha’s. Dosha’a are energy or our life force. Although we are all made up of all five Dosha’s, one is more dominant. Some people may be a Dual Dosha, however Tri-Doshic is rare. It is
