Favorfinesse.com has added Dabur Shilajit and Dabur Shilajit Gold to its ayurvedic supplements line. These are world renowned products from Dabur - one of India's premier ayurvedic companies.

Shilajit is a mineral and organic compound obtained from the Himalaya and Hindukush mountains in India. During the formation of the Himalayan mountains, large forest tracts got trapped by layers of rock and soil and slowly got converted to a rich bioactive compound which we know as Shilajit. This pure ancient compound is considered to be nature's own medicine for all life. Shilajit has been referenced in ancient sacred Hindu texts over 3,000 years old and has been ascribed miraculous properties of rejuvenation. Shilajit literally means "rock like" in Sanskrit and has been described as "the destroyer of weakness".

Shilajit's most important property is its ability to rejuvenate the body. It is a powerful anti-oxidant which keeps cells young. In fact it was discovered by villagers when they saw himalayan monkeys licking this substance and living
extraordinarily long healthy lives. Shilajit improves the cardiac functions,
digestive functions, liver functions and the immune system.


Dabur's Shilajit capsules contain 500mg of purified shilajit extract.

Dabur's Shilajit Gold whose ingredients include Swarna Bhasma(Gold) Kesar (Saffron) and Ashwagandha (Winter Cherry) is a powerful sexual stimulant and aphrodisiac. It improves sexual health and acts as a rejuvenator to increase stamina, vigour and vitality.

Weight Loss - Easy Ways you can lose weight naturally

1. Portions - Portion control is possibly one of the most effective ways to lose
weight fast and without frustration. Reduce your portions - just eat half of what
is on your plate, either at home or in a restaurant and keep the remainder for
next time.

2. Go meatless - Take meat off the menu for a few meals during the week.
Substitute with soy proteins or legumes or kidney beans. Even mushrooms like
portobello are great burger substitutes. Try veggie burgers and falafel.

3. Spicy food - Spiking your food with spices not only makes them tastier but
healthier as well. Furthermore spices like hot peppers have been shown to raise
the metabolic rate by almost 50% for a few hours after meals.

4. Everyday exercise - Take the stairs whenever possible. Park your car furthest from the store. Take a walk to the water cooler once every hour (you'll also get 8 cups of water that way!). Stretch whenever possible - whether standing or sitting. Even standing straight for 5-10 minutes against the wall helps.

5. Drink water - Drinking adequate water helps to detoxify the body, encourages metabolism and also keeps hunger pangs at bay.

6. Alternative dinners - Try having cereal & milk for dinner ...or pita &
hummus...or fruit & yogurt or a big meatless salad. Anything that is light yet
filling.

Diabetes Alternative Medicine & Lifestyle

Type 2 Diabetes or Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus generally affects people over age 40 and has a significant correlation to being overweight. Diabetes is sometimes also called a western lifestyle disorder. It has been shown that when other cultures start adopting the western lifestyle primarily with regard to diet, diabetes cases shoot up.

Therefore if we revert to a more natural diet avoiding refined sugars and processed food, the body will better be able to cope with processing glucose.

Some steps that can be taken to control diabetes are:

1. Diet - A high fat, high sugar diet completely throws off your body's ability to process insulin. There is not enough insulin to process glucose to energy. You can help your body by having a balanced diet and controlling your sugar intake.

2. Exercise - Exercise helps in burning fat, reducing stress and reducing weight. These are key ingredients of diabetes control. Diabetics however should be careful to avoid weight lifting or other forms of exertion that involve pushing or pulling heavy objects as these activities raise blood pressure
3. Vitamins and Supplements - Gymnema Slyvestre or Meshashringi is a herb that has the curious effect of deadening the taste buds on the tongue to the taste of sugar for a few hours. As a result sugar & foods containing sugar are simply not attractive any more. In addition the Gymnemic acid has a hypoglycaemic effect thus helping to control blood sugar. It is the most important herb in Ayurveda for controlling blood sugar levels.

Vitamin B6 and B12 may help decrease the severity of diabetic neuropathy and reduce insulin demands in Type 2 Diabetics.

It has also been shown that seasoning your food with cinnamon with as much as 1/4 tsp at every meal may help regulate blood sugar levels

Herbal Ayurvedic Remedy for Diabetes and Blood Sugar Control

Karela


Karela, also known as Bitter Melon is a herb that helps regulate blood sugar levels and keeps body functions operating normally. It contains Gurmarin, a polypeptide considered to be similar to bovine insulin, which has been shown in experimental studies to achieve a positive sugar regulating effect by suppressing the neural response to sweet taste stimuli.

Gymnema Diabetes Blood Sugar Control

Gymnema Sylvestre for herbal Diabetes Control

Gymnema or Gymnema Sylvestre is also known as "Meshashringi" or "Ram's Horn" in Sanskrit. Its Hindi name "Gurmar" however reflects the true reason why Gymnema is such an important ayurvedic herb in controlling blood sugar levels and diabetes. While gymnema was originally used in Southern India as a potent snake bite remedy, it was discovered that chewing the leaves of this plant instantly causes taste buds to repulse sugar.

Extensive research on this plant has shown its anti-diabetic property. It inhibits plasma glucose and serum insulin thus controlling blood sugar levels. Studies have shown that this hypoglycaemic activity of Gymnema may be caused through stimulation of insulin release, stimulation of enzymes responsible for glucose uptake and utilisation and/or inhibition of intestinal absorption of glucose. Also by its remarkable ability to cause taste buds to become insensitive to sweet taste for a few hours it aids in diet control and weight loss.

A controlled study on insulin-dependent diabetics found that a water-soluble Gymnema extract (400 mg/day corresponding to about 8 g of starting dried herb) reduced insulin requirements (by about 50%). Over the duration of treatment Gymnema lowered fasting mean blood glucose (by about 35%), glycosylated haemoglobin and glycosylated plasma protein levels from baseline values. Cholesterol was significantly reduced and brought to near normal levels. Triglycerides, free fatty acids and serum amylase were also lowered. The treatment period ranged from 6-30 months. The significant decrease in glycosylated haemoglobin occurred after 6-8 months of Gymnema treatment but remained significantly higher than normal values. None of these reductions were observed in control patients on insulin therapy alone who were studied over a period of 10-12 months. The authors suggested that Gymnema enhanced endogenous insulin production, possibly by pancreatic regeneration, as levels of C-peptide, a by-product of the conversion of proinsulin to insulin, were apparently raised (in comparison to both the insulin alone group and normal subjects).

Herbal Remedy for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)


Himplasia

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

The prostate is a walnut sized gland in the male reproductive system that produces
semen. It is located beneath the bladder and surrounds the upper part of the
urethra. Along with producing semen, the prostate also controls the outward flow
of urine from the bladder. Because of this dual role, signs of prostate trouble
can include both urinary and sexual difficulties.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), refers to the enlargement of the prostate
gland enough to cause urinary obstruction and sexual dysfunction. Most men over 50
experience BPH to some degree.

Causes of BPH

Benign prostatic hyperplasia seems to stem from age-related changes in hormone
balance that begin when a man is in his 40's. Testosterone levels in the blood
decrease, while other hormone levels rise; the net effect is the increase in a
testosterone derivative dihydrotestosterone that stimulates cell growth in the
prostate. This results in the enlargement and consequent stricture of hte urehtra
within the gland. Other causes include neoplasm, arteriosclerosis, inflammation,
and metabolic or nutritional disturbances.

With BPH the prostatic urethra gets compressed obstructing urinary flow. The
bladder may eventually be unable to empty itself and the lingering pools of urine
become sites of infection or stone formation.

Symptoms

Reduced urinary flow

Difficulty in urination

Incomplete voiding

Urine retention

Frequent urination urge

Nocturia

Incontinence

Hematuria

Physical exam will reveal a distended bladder

As BPH progresses there may be infection, renal insufficiency, hemorrhage and
shock.

Prostate Health

To promote prostate health:

Take warm sitz baths

Drink more water

Avoid prolonged bicycle riding, horseback riding or other exercises that
irritate the region below the prostate

Practise yoga

Take health supplements.
