Dehydration: A Main Cause of Excess Weight Are th

Dehydration: A Main Cause of Excess Weight

Are those extra kilos just-not-shedding?
Perhaps it’s because you are chronically dehydrated.

Although majority of the population is dehydrated but not overweight, if you are overweight, drinking “tap liquid” or using water filters as an excuse to drink dead water, ain’t going to help your metabolism burn fat.

You can even increase your metabolic rate 30% by drinking half a litre of water.

The link between overweight and dehydration is partially because we tend to associate hunger and thirst as the same sensation (see my blog article, “Are You Actually Hungry or Just Dehydrated?” / 3 posts back).
Increased hydration = reduced feeding.
But there’s a second part to it…

The first step to reach lipolysis (burning fat) is hydrolysis, which is when water molecules interact with triglycerides (fats) and an enzyme called lipase.

Lipase and water mediate the whole process of breaking down fat.

Plus, drinking more water = less water retention (laksmi/abundance consciousness = no hoarding water).

Further more, when this hydrolysis reacts well, you produce fatty acids and glycerol.
The fatty acids can then be broken down directly to get energy, or can be used to make glucose (gluconeogenesis).

Basically, water is key in the chemical equation of weight loss, and lack of water and dehydration (drinking more “water” alone doesn’t solve it!) is a primary cause of weight gain.

AND Hydration gives you energy - The osmotic flow of water through cell membranes generates “hydroelectric“ energy, voltage that is converted and stored in the mitochondria in form of ATP.

How to get intra-cellularly hydrated and Loose Weight? - Drink spring water, move your body, reduce nnEMF, practice abhyanga, get sunlight.
For more, check my posts and podcasts and stay tuned for my upcoming course on Ayurvedic Nutrition where hydration and nutritional water is foundational.

~Ultimate Freedom~ Civil liberties and freedom are

~Ultimate Freedom~
Civil liberties and freedom are a hot topic now due to the oppressive actions by authorities and the technocracy that are increasingly exposing itself.

Since these “dark and destructive forces” are anxiously stirring up the hearts of many individuals, I thought I would share a poem on Ultimate Freedom…
💎
Though he possesses a finite body, he remains unified with the Infinite.
His heart knows no anxiety.
That is how you may know the man who is free.

Good and evil appear to exist in the world.
Persons and objects seem to be distant and distinct from each-other.
Nevertheless, he regards everything from the standpoint of equality, for he sees Brahman [Absolute Totality] in all.
That is how you may know the man who is free.

Good or evil fortune may come.
He regards them both with indifference, and remains unaffected by either.
That is how you may know the man who is free.

Because his mind is continually engaged in tasting bliss of Brahman, internal and external experiences are undifferentiated.
That is how you may know the man who is free.

Life flows by: he watches it like an un-attached spectator.
That is how you may know the man who is free.

Through his transcendental vision he has realised that there is no difference between man and Brahman - for he sees Brahman in every man.
That is how you may know the man who is free.

Holy men may honour him, evil men may insult him - his feelings are the same.
That is how you may know the man who is free.

River flows into the ocean, but the ocean is not disturbed.
He lives in the consciousness of the one Reality.
He is free indeed.
💎
I have adapted this poem based on illuminating teachings by Adi Shankara, from his Viveka-Chūdamani (विवेक चूडामणि / Crest Jewel of Discrimination).

Are You Actually Hungry or Just Dehydrated? Are y

Are You Actually Hungry or Just Dehydrated?

Are you reaching for that organic cocoa, nuts, dried fruit or sweet pastry with slight guilt and intuition knowing that maybe, inaccurate hunger is causing you to delicately drool?

Although delectably comforting, is my snacking habit really what my body is craving?

Well, it could just be that you are dehydrated, and you have mistaken thirst for hunger.

And the reason why it would be wise to correct this mistaken intelligence in your food loving biology is because snacking (even healthy) foods throughout the day can cause metabolic disruptions, which are key causes of many diseases.

But why do we associate hunger and thirst as the same sensation?
Why is my brain unable to distinguish between hunger & thirst?

To answer that, we need to consider a thin membrane in your brain, the lamina terminalis, which is responsible for sensing whether you’re thirsty or quenched.
But it is easily tricked.

Throughout all of time, earthlings had access to only one primary type of liquid that was ready for immediate drinking.

If you encountered a (raw) liquid in nature, it was water. Period.
So the lamina terminalis in the brain developed a recognition that if you drink liquid, you must be quenching your thirst.

That’s why when you drink coffee, sports drinks, soda, sugar laden juices, energy drinks or a cold beer, you experience a temporary relief from the thirst sensation.

But the reality is, these beverages proactively dehydrate the human body.

These drinks drive water out of the cells because it takes more water for the body to process these beverages than they give.

YOU probably need to become more hydrated. (Not by drinking more water).
You need to improve your ability to move water from your GI tract into your cells: Intra-cellular hydration.

I teach about proper hydration in my upcoming Ayurvedic Nutrition Online Course (newsletter sign up), but for now:

Drink Spring Water (link in bio).
Spring water is the difference between water that just satisfies thirst vs. water that actively imparts life.

Assess dehydrating lifestyle factors.

Air Pods & Bluetooth Wearables - The New Death Sti

Air Pods & Bluetooth Wearables - The New Death Sticks

Move over cigarettes, AirPods and other Bluetooth wearables are the new death sticks.

The health ramifications of non-native electro-magnetic fields (nnEMF), including radio-frequencies (RF), are highly underestimated and snubbed although they are currently classified in Group 2B possible carcinogen, with research beginning to shift them towards a 2A or Group 1.

Ignoring this prevails due to the fact you can’t see or feel these fields (unless you are hyper-sensitive).

The problem with Bluetooth specifically is that it emits very specific pulse radio frequency signals.

These have extremely short wavelengths which transmits with an extremely rapid rise and fall in times and distance (pulsation).

It’s the rate of change of these fields during the pulsation that causes the most biological damage. Rather than the total energy they deliver.

One health implications of nnEMF is that it makes your blood-brain barrier permeable. This allows toxins free entry into the brain.

So you think it's just in your ear?

Your blood plasma is 93% water and has salt in it. This biological fluid of yours is a great conductor for these devices.

All the blood vessels in your body and brain become electric wires that send this information all over your body.

AirPods constantly transmit these levels, even while not in use.

When you are wearing two AirPods this makes matters a whole lot worse. They cross communicate - the signal goes from your phone to one of the AirPods, then it sends the signal to the other one, straight through your 🧠.

I know Bluetooth and mobile technology can make us more productive and there are positives. The problem is we're not being told how it's destroying our cell architecture and affecting our medical problems.

Solution:
Ditch the Suicidal Pods (slow suicide) and get yourself Air Tubes - wired headphones w/ hollow air tubes that turn electric signal into EMF-free acoustic signal with high stereo sound quality.

See the full article for more inc. scientific references.

I have meditated in some of the wildest places...

I have meditated in some of the wildest places...

On multiple occasions, back when I was a die-hard music festival goer, I would perch up the front of crowded mosh-pits, squashed amongst sweaty people for hours, firmly maintaining my spot close to the stage.

In between music acts (approx. 30 mins), the wise, brave & weak punters would sit on the floor (if they could wriggle up space) to rest their long standing legs.

But I was even wiser…
I would sit & meditate.
Bum on the sticky floor, cross-legged with my knees up a little high, (as there was not enough space to spread).
So in the 30 min gap between acts, while the interim DJ would blast music, people talking & the occasional beer spillage would fall onto my bare skinned leg, I would sit amongst all the excitement & de-excite. I would meditate.
And it may surprise you, but I actually had some very transcendental deep experiences.

Of course, many onlookers were fascinated. At times they tolerated my actions & even respectfully gave me some space. Perhaps it was because they thought I was not feeling well, was to drunk or OD-ing on drugs (I never drank or did drugs at these times)…

But the truth was, nature was supporting me. Even if they thought I was OD-ing on the floor, I was cool with that. They were giving me space and I was grateful. I was hovering at the cusp of transcendence while simultaneously aware of all that was going around me. ( #Ritam ).

But they were even more fascinated with what came next….

Not only fascinated, but shocked.

As soon as the lights suddenly went out, the crowd screamed loud as their wait for the next act was over. My new friends became more shocked (and excited) when they saw me shoot up like a rocket from my meditative platform.

And then the music started…
My high energy and unusual dancing moves that were outlets for me to express my kundalini energy (infinite creative energy), coupled with passionate vein swelling head-banging, had my fellow punters shocked (& excited, and perhaps some a little scared) when they witnessed me make love with the music.

Luckily, no noise is a barrier to #VedicMeditation .

Have you meditated in any bizarre or unusual places? Comment👇

I have done self-abhyanga (Ayurvedic self-oil-mass

I have done self-abhyanga (Ayurvedic self-oil-massage) in some of the wildest places.

Once I was on a group tour in the Israeli desert and slept with 50 other people in a single bedouin tent. There were about another 10 of these tents, so hundreds of people were camping together in this desert community.
The men’s bathroom zone contained about 9 tiny wooden square cubicle showers in a row.
I remember sitting on the dusty floor of the cubicle with half of my leg sticking out the bottom gap of the door, giving myself an oil massage while laughingly sensing the confused reactions of folk on the other side of the thin walls.

When going on a road trip or camping, I find a comfortable space to lather up then massage, ideally close to a body of water for easy post-bathing.

Even if I can’t sit down and find a relaxing place, I will do the self-massage standing up with my head hunched over in a van, or behind a bush because the ground is full of uncomfortable leaves and sticks and I don’t have a towel/mat to sit on, or i’ll be squeezed in a camping tent on a hot summers morning… applying oil to the body and massaging it is the precursor before daily bathing. Even if it’s the “short version”. And it’s so worth it.

So most of you reading this bathe everyday (I hope). This is one thing of the Ayurvedic daily routine (“dinacharya”) you probably get right.

But as well as washing your skin and body via the good old familiar bathing (known as “snan” in Ayurveda), we ALSO need to:
- lubricate the skin and body tissues
- activate the lymph
- enhance blood circulation
- feed the microbiome that lives on our skin
- and pacify and strengthen our nervous system (our skin has more nerve endings than any other part of our body)

all by…
Massaging our selves with oil daily!

Do you practice self-abhyanga? How does it make you feel? Have you practiced it in any unusual places?
