केवल दो सप्ताह चीनी छोड़ें फिर उसके फायदे देखें ।

*दो सप्ताह के लिए चीनी खाना छोड़ दें*

और देखें कि आपके शरीर में क्या परिवर्तन आता है शक्कर या चीनी खाने की आदत को छोड़ना ही ठीक है अन्यथा 40 वर्ष की उम्र में ही आपका वज़न और आकार बढ़ जाएगा।

Skip sugar only for 2 weeks and then see 15 benefits in hindi
अतिरिक्त शक्कर का सेवन करना एक लत के समान है जिसे जितनी जल्दी हो सके छोड़ देना चाहिए। शक्कर स्वादिष्ट होती है और कभी कभी इसे खाने से आनंद भी मिलता है। परन्तु बहुत अधिक मात्रा में इसका सेवन करने से कई प्रकार की समस्याएं हो सकती हैं। शक्कर का सेवन छोड़ने से होने वाले लाभ
हर चीज़ में थोड़ी बहुत मात्रा में शक्कर होती है अत: अच्छा होगा कि आप अपने भले के लिए इसे छोड़ दें। आपके दैनिक कैलोरी सेवन की मात्रा में 10% या उससे कम चीनी की मात्रा होती है।
चीनी तब एक समस्या बन जाती है जब आप भोजन में स्वाद, रंग लाने के लिए इसे अतिरिक्त मात्रा में डालते हैं। इसकी बहुत अधिक मात्रा के सेवन से बहुत दुष्परिणाम होते हैं। इसका एक परिणाम वज़न बढ़ना है।
चीनी की अतिरिक्त मात्रा का सेवन करने से इन्सुलिन का स्तर बढ़ जाता है और इससे शरीर भी खराब हो जाता है। इससे कैलोरीज़ सीधे आपके पेट में जाती है। चीनी का सेवन छोड़ देने से आपका वज़न कम हो सकता है और आप कई गंभीर बीमारियों से बच सकते हैं।
इस लेख में हमने चीनी का सेवन छोड़ देने से होने वाले फायदों के बारे में बताया है। चीनी का सेवन छोड़ देने से होने वाले फायदों के बारे में जानने के लिए इस लेख को पढ़ें।

1. वज़न कम होना:(weight loss)

फ्रक्टोस (शुगर) युक्त आहार लेने से वज़न बढ़ता है। बहुत अधिक समय तक चीनी का अधिक मात्रा में सेवन करने से शरीर इन्सुलिन हार्मोन का प्रतिरोध करने लगता है जिससे वज़न बढ़ने लगता है। एक बार जब शरीर यह प्रतिरोध करना प्रारंभ कर देता है तो इस प्रक्रिया को रोकना बहुत मुश्किल होता है।

2. आपको कम भूख लगती है:(Less hungry)

जैसे ही आपके शरीर को पता चलता है कि आपका वज़न कम हो रहा है वैसे ही आपकी भूख से संबंधित हार्मोन्स उत्तेजित होने लगते हैं। चीनी का सेवन न करने से शरीर की कार्बोहाइड्रेटस को पचाने की गति कम हो जाती है जिससे आप कम खाना खाते हैं। फाइबर से भी आपको लगातार उर्जा मिलती रहती है।

3. आपका पेट पतला होने लगता है:(Thin stomach)

आपने देखा होगा कि पतले लोगों का पेट भी लटकता रहता है। ऐसा इसलिए होता है क्योंकि वे अधिक मात्रा में शुगर का सेवन करते हैं। चीनी की अधिक मात्रा का सेवन करने से पेट में स्वस्थ रोगाणु बनते हैं जिससे पेट पर वसा जमा होता है। इससे पेट में ख़राब बायोम बैक्टीरिया में वृद्धि होती है।

4. आपका फैट बर्न होने लगता है:(Fat burning)

चीनी का सेवन कम करने से आपके द्वारा सेवन की जाने वाली कैलोरीज़ की मात्रा में कमी आती है। इससे शरीर का फैट बर्न होता है जो शरीर को उर्जा देने के लिए होता है।

5. आपकी मांसपेशियां मज़बूत होती हैं:(strong mussels)

चीनी का अधिक मात्रा में सेवन करने से सर्कोपेनिया नामक स्थिति उत्पन्न हो जाती है जिसमें मांसपेशियां कमज़ोर हो जाती हैं। ऐसा इसलिए होता है क्योंकि अतिरिक्त चीनी शरीर में प्रोटीन को संश्लेषित होने से रोकती है। चीनी का कम मात्रा में सेवन करके आप अपने मांसपेशियों को अधिक मज़बूत और जवान बना सकते हैं। चीनी का सेवन छोड़ देने का यह सबसे बड़ा फायदा होता है।

6. आप स्वयं को अधिक उर्जावान महसूस करेंगे:(feel energy)

शरीर में कार्बोहाइड्रेट का अवशोषण धीमा होने के कारण आपको पेट हमेशा भरा हुआ लगता है। इससे शारीरिक थकान, सिरदर्द और सुस्ती आदि समस्याएं दूर होती हैं।

7. ब्लडप्रेशर कम होता है:(blood presser)

अतिरिक्त मात्रा में शुगर का सेवन करने से मोटापे की समस्या बढ़ती है जिसके कारण हाईब्लडप्रेशर की समस्या हो सकती है। कुछ अध्ययनों से यह भी पता चलता है कि आहार में अतिरिक्त शुगर लेने से वज़न बढ़ता है।

8. खराब कोलेस्ट्रोल कम होता है:(bed Cholesterol)

ऐसे लोग जो अधिक मात्रा में चीनी का सेवन करते हैं उनमें एचडीएल (अच्छा कोलेस्ट्रोल) का स्तर कम होता है और एलडीएल (ख़राब कोलेस्ट्रोल) का स्तर अधिक होता है। अत: अच्छा होगा कि जितनी जल्दी हो सके इसे छोड़ दिया जाए। यह इस अध्ययन से भी पता चला है ‘ कारोटेनेमिया एंड डाइबिटीज़: द रिलेशनशिप बिटवीन द शुगर, कोलेस्ट्रोल एंड कैरोटिन ऑफ़ ब्लड प्लाज्मा’।

9. हार्ट अटैक का खतरा कम होता है:(heart attack risk)

एक अध्ययन के अनुसार ऐसे लोग जो अधिक मात्रा में चीनी का सेवन करते हैं उन्हें दिल की बीमारी होने का खतरा अधिक होता है। इसके अलावा चीनी युक्त पेय पदार्थों का सेवन करने से भी दिल की बीमारी का खतरा बढ़ जाता है।

10. आपके दिमाग को तेज़ रखता है:(increase mind power)

क्या आप जानते हैं कि चीनी आपके दिमाग की शक्ति को छीन लेती है? बहुत अधिक मात्रा में चीनी का सेवन करने से आपके संज्ञानात्मक कार्यों में खराबी आती है और मेमोरी और प्रतिक्रियात्मक क्षमता के लिए आवश्यक प्रोटीन भी कम मात्रा में मिलते हैं।

11. आपको अल्जाइमर या डिमनेशिया होने का खतरा कम हो जाता है:(Alzheimer’s or Dimensia)

अधिक चीनी युक्त आहार मस्तिष्क में उत्पन्न होने वाले रसायन जिसे न्यूरोट्राफिक कारक भी कहा जाता है, के उत्पादन को कम कर देता है। यह रसायन पुरानी बातों और नई बातों को याद रखने में सहायक होता है। अत: चीनी की कम मात्रा का सेवन करने से इन बीमारियों का खतरा कम हो जाता है। इससे आपको पता चलता है कि जब आप चीनी का सेवन करना छोड़ देते हैं तो क्या होता है।

12. अवसाद:(tensions)

जब आपके मस्तिष्क को यह अनुभव होता है कि चीनी का लेवल बढ़ गया है तो इन्सुलिन अपने प्रभावों का ही प्रतिरोध करने लगता है और इस प्रकार कम प्रभावी हो जाता है। इससे अवसाद और चिंता की समस्या हो सकती है। चीनी का सेवन बंद करने का यह भी एक फायदा है।

13. इससे आपकी मीठा खाने की आदत छूट जाती है:(eating sweet habit)

अधिक मात्र में चीनी का सेवन करने से डोपामिन का संकेत मिलना कम हो जाता है जिसके कारण मिल्कशेक देखने पर भी वही हालत हो जाती है जैसी हालत किसी ड्रग के आदी व्यक्ति की कोकीन देखने के बाद होती है। अत: चीनी का सेवन बंद करने से वास्तव में आप अपने नशे को बंद करते हैं।

14. डाइबिटीज़ का खतरा कम होता है:( type 2 Diabetes)

दिन में एक या दो चीनी युक्त पेय लेने से आपको टाइप 2 डाइबिटीज़ होने का खतरा 26% तक बढ़ जाता है। ऐसा शरीर द्वारा इन्सुलिन का प्रतिरोध करने के कारण होता है। अतिरिक्त मात्रा में शुगर जैसे फ्रक्टोस, ग्लूकोज़ या शुगर का अन्य किसी रूप में उपयोग करने से शुगर के कण कोशिकाओं में चिपक जाते हैं और खून में मिल जाते हैं। यह इस अध्ययन में भी बताया गया है ‘ इज शुगर द सेम एज़ डाइबिटीज़’।

15. फैटी लिवर की बीमारी से बचाता है:(fatty liver)

अधिक चीनी युक्त आहार लेने से फैटी लिवर की बीमारी होने की संभावना होती है। चीनी के कारण इन्सुलिन बढ़ता है जो फैट को लिवर सेल में बदलता है और इसके कारण सूजन और घाव की समस्या भी हो सकती है। अत: चीनी का सेवन बंद करने से इस खतरे से बचा जा सकता है।

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is an inflammation of the joints, involving breakdown of the cartilage at the ends of bones.

Affected areas:

Osteoarthritis can damage any joint in your body, the disorder most commonly affects joints in your hands, neck, lower back, knees and hips. Symptoms may include joint pain, tenderness, stiffness, locking, and sometimes an effusion.

Hands – limitation of activity that requires dexterity (e.g. dressing, feeding) are affected.

Hip disease – first sign is usually pain or restriction of internal rotation followed by pain on flexion.

Knee – Tibiofemoral arthritis is usually bilateral and associated with early morning stiffness and pain on weight bearing particularly on stairs. Night pain is a sign of severe disease. In elderly patients, knee effusions and crepitus are common.

Pathology of osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a disease of both articular cartilage and subchondral bone. The disease is characterized by progressive degradation of the components of extracellular matrix of the articular cartilage associated with secondary inflammation factors and increased bone turnover and repair.

Causes of Osteoarthritis:

When the osteoarthritis is due to ageing process it is known as primary osteoarthritis; when there are other conditions in the background that have triggered this disorder, it is known as Secondary osteoarthritis. Secondary osteoarthritis can be caused by any of the following:

Injury – can damage to bone, ligament and cartilage that ultimately leads to severe pain.

Infection – Any kind of infection to the joint may result osteoarthritis.

Obesity and advanced age – Both are very common cause of osteoarthritis.

Overuse – Overuse of knee joint can cause bursitis which ultimately leads to intense pain.

Sprain– Due to sudden unnatural movements causes pain as well as restriction of movement of the joint.

Malignancy – Myeloma, metastatic carcinoma.

Dislocation – Also causes severe arthritis.

Other causes – Include Sarcoidosis, Sickle cell disease, Lupus, Kawasaki disease, Crohn’s disease, bone tumors, bleeding disorders etc.

Complication:

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that worsens over time. Joint pain and stiffness may become severe enough to make daily tasks difficult. Some people are no longer able to work. When joint pain is this severe, doctors may suggest joint replacement surgery.

Treatment for osteoarthritis:

Medications

Osteoarthritis symptoms can be relieved by a variety of medications, including:

Acetaminophen:

Acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) can relieve pain, but it doesn’t reduce inflammation. It has been shown to be effective for people with osteoarthritis who have mild to moderate pain. Taking more than the recommended dosage of acetaminophen can cause liver damage.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

NSAIDs may reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Over-the-counter NSAIDs include ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen (Aleve, others). NSAIDs can cause stomach upset, ringing in your ears, cardiovascular problems, bleeding problems, and liver and kidney damage. Older people have the highest risk of complications.

Narcotics

These types of prescription medication typically contain ingredients similar to codeine and may provide relief from more severe osteoarthritis pain. These stronger medications carry a risk of dependence, though that risk is thought to be small in people who have severe pain. Side effects may include nausea, constipation and sleepiness.

Therapy

A combination approach to treatment often works best. Your doctor may suggest:

Physical therapy

A physical therapist can work with you to create an individualized exercise regimen that will strengthen the muscles around your joint, increase the range of motion in your joint and reduce your pain.

Occupational therapy

An occupational therapist can help you discover ways to do everyday tasks or do your job without putting extra stress on your already painful joint. For instance, a toothbrush with a large grip could make brushing your teeth easier if you have finger osteoarthritis. A bench in your shower could help relieve the pain of standing if you have knee osteoarthritis.

Braces or shoe inserts

Consider trying splints, braces, shoe inserts or other medical devices that can help reduce your pain. These devices can immobilize or support your joint to help you keep pressure off it.

Surgical and other procedures

If conservative treatments don’t help, you may want to consider procedures such as:

Cortisone shots

Injections of corticosteroid medications may relieve pain in your joint. During this procedure your doctor numbs the area around your joint, then places a needle into the space within your joint and injects medication. The number of cortisone shots you can receive each year is limited, because the medication can worsen joint damage over time.

Lubrication injections

Injections of hyaluronic acid derivatives (Hyalgan, Synvisc) may offer pain relief by providing some cushioning in your knee. These agents are similar to a component normally found in your joint fluid.

Realigning bones

During a surgical procedure called an osteotomy, the surgeon cuts across the bone either above or below the knee to realign the leg. Osteotomy can reduce knee pain by shifting your body weight away from the worn-out part of your knee.

Joint replacement

In joint replacement surgery (arthroplasty), your surgeon removes your damaged joint surfaces and replaces them with plastic and metal devices called prostheses. The hip and knee joints are the most commonly replaced joints. Surgical risks include infections and blood clots. Artificial joints can wear out or come loose and may need to eventually be replaced.

Homeopathic medicines for Osteoarthritis:

Bryonia Alba

Excellent remedy which is useful in treatment of osteoarthritis, pain with inflammation which is aggravated by movement and relieved by moderate pressure and rest. There is inflammation of joints which are hot and swollen.

RhusTox

Recurring attacks due to getting chilled. Rheumatism caused by damp weather and worse in damp climate; there is restlessness and the pains are worse on first motion, better by continued motion

Chronic arthritis with a feeling of bruised soreness can indicate a need for this remedy. Pain is worse from touch, and may occur in joints that were injured in the past.

Ruta graveolens

Arthritis with a feeling of great stiffness and lameness, worse from cold and damp, and worse from exertion often is relieved by this remedy. Tendons and the capsules of the joints may be affected. Arthritis may have developed after overuse, from repeated wear and tear.

Kalmia latiflora

Intense arthritic pain that appears quite suddenly may indicate this medicine—especially when the problems start in higher joints and extend to lower ones. Pain and inflammation often start in the shoulder, moving to the elbow, wrist and hand. The knees are also frequently affected. Discomfort is worse from motion and often worse at night.

Apismellifica

This remedy can be helpful in acute conditions with redness, tenderness, and swelling. Joints feel hot and have stinging pain. The hands and knees are often affected. Warmth can aggravate the symptoms and cool applications bring relief.

Calcarea fluorica

This medicine is often indicated for arthritic pains that are improved by heat and motion. Joints become enlarged and hard, and nodosities or bone spurs may develop. Arthritis after chronic injury to joints often responds to Calcarea fluorica.

Calcarea carbonica

This remedy is often useful for arthritis in a person who is flabby or overweight, and easily tired by exertion. Inflammation and soreness are worse from cold and dampness, and weakness or cramping in the extremities are often seen. Problems often focus on the knees when Calcarea is needed.
