YOGA FOR PREGNANT WOMEN

Staying fit and eating healthy are not the only things that top the priority list for a pregnant woman. Rather, maintaining a calm and stress-free persona and looking after her health and also the well-being of her unborn are important. And this is where yoga comes in. Dr Amrapali Patil, weight-management and yoga consultant, says, “Most women are anxious about their pregnancy -their own or their baby's well-being. Yoga tends to stabilise the mind and help gain perspective (unlike other forms of physical activity) as it is meditative in nature.

Pranayams tends to calm and balance the mind.“

Prenatal yoga classes are important, say experts.

Gynaecologist Dr Kiran Coelho states, “I advise pregnant ladies to join prenatal yoga classes to stay fit, calm and stress-free. These classes prepare the couple to handle the newborn.“ “The aim of practising yoga is to bring the newborn into the world with minimum pain and hassle. Also, it keeps your mood swings, emotions and physical worries at bay. Other than the mental wellbeing of the mom-to-be, yoga also helps them to keep their weight in check and be physically fit,“ says Dr Coelho. There are some dos and don'ts (see box) that one needs to keep in mind, suggests Dr Patil.

A pregnant woman automatically assumes a guarded posture of protectiveness towards the baby in her womb, says Dr Patil. Some also encounter increased awkwardness due to the sheer change in their size.

This leads to rigidity and stiffness of muscles, which can hamper a smooth delivery. Gynaecologist Dr Mugdha Raut says, “You can continue yoga in the first trimester, after incorporating a few modifications. There is also the belief that if you did an activity prior to pregnancy, you can continue to enjoy it throughout pregnancy, without changes. However, I think it is incorrect to ignore the hormonal, physiological and anatomical changes that happen to the pregnant body, regardless of pre-pregnancy conditioning.“

RECOMMENDED ASANAS:
Dr Patil suggests the following asanas...
Sukhasana Tadasana Ardha-vakrasana (don't overtwist here.

Turn from shoulders and chest and not e from your waist) Marjarasana Yoga mudra Gomukhasana in sukhasana Shavasana RECOMMENDED PRANAYAMS:
Anulom vilom Sitali Sitkari

BEFORE YOU BEGIN PRENATAL YOGA CLASSES...
Consult your doctor before you embark on any exercise regimen.
Make sure you go to a qualified yoga instructor who has experience in teach ing pregnant women.
KEEP IN MIND
“Women at risk are those with a past history of miscarriage, placenta previa or a weak cervix. Those who have undergone cervical cerclage and similar procedures should be extra careful,“ says Dr Patil.
DOs Set aside a fixed time.
Wear loose and comfortable clothing.
Be relaxed. Use a chair if you want.
Hold each pose only for about 10 to 40 sec onds, based on your comfort level.
Be in sync with your body. Don't let your attention wander, lest you hurt yourself.
Yoga is meditative, so being focused helps.
Do yoga twice a week for 5 to 20 minutes.
Consult your doctor immediately in case of any doubt.
DON'Ts Avoid over-stretching at all costs.
Stop immediately if there is any discomfort.
Don't lie on your abdomen.
After the first three months, don't lie on your back as doing so impedes the blood flow to the uterus and can affect your pregnancy adversely.
Avoid long duration of activity.
Don't do any asana or breathing exercise vigorously. Take time.
Easy does it.

TRIKONASANA OR THE TRIANGLE POSE
Stand straight with your feet apart. Raise your arms and then bring them parallel to the floor, keeping your palms down. Now exhale and bend from your hip (not waist). Rest your right hand, without distorting your body, on your shin or ankle or on the floor while you stretch your other arm up in a line with your shoulder. Hold this pose for around a minute or less and then inhale as you come up.
Reverse and repeat.
BENEFITS: This works the legs and also stretches the side body.
Your shoulders open up and your hips are energised too.

BADDHA KONASANA OR BUTTERFLY POSE
Sit with your legs stretched in front of you. Then bend your knees, bring your feet in and make the soles of your feet touch.
Clasp both feet with your hands and while you keep your back straight. Move your knees up and down -try touching the ground too -without moving your joined feet. It should resemble the movement of butterfly wings.
BENEFITS: Stretches the inner things and hips and increases mobility of the hip joints.

SITTING SIDE STRETCH
Sit with your legs stretched in front of you. As you exhale, slowly spread out your legs. Then, fold your right leg and bring your heel towards your crotch. Let your left leg remain straight, with the toes pointing to the ceiling. Stretch your right hand towards the ceiling and bend sideways. Your left elbow should be near your left knee, palms facing upwards.
BENEFITS: This asana opens up your side waist, pelvis and also stretches the hips.

WARRIOR POSE OR VEERABHADRASANA
Keep a distance of two to three feet between your legs as you stand straight. Turn your left foot by 90 degrees and align the heels of both feet. Lift both your arms together and bring them parallel to the floor. Now exhale as you bend your right knee and look to your right. Your ankle and knee must be in a straight line. Stretch your arms, push down your pelvis gently. Keep breathing as you go lower. Inhale when you come up and exhale as you bring your hands to your sides. Reverse and repeat. This asana should be practised with support -stand close to the wall.
BENEFITS: Ladies in their second and third trimester will find this asana beneficial. This strengthens your limbs, improves balance, increases stami na and releases stress. Your lower back will also benefit.

BENEFITS OF PRENATAL YOGA
Yoga stabilises emotions.
It facilitates blood circulation for both mother and the baby.
Yoga boosts the functioning of relaxin (a hormone that relaxes the muscles and joints) and makes the muscles, supple, strong and flexible, says Dr Patil.
It improves sleep, reduces stress and anxiety.
It leads to a marked increase in muscle strength and flexibility and so, helps in birthing.
Regular yoga decreases the risk of pre term labour.
In the postnatal period, yoga strength ens the pelvic floor just like Kegel's exercises. This prevents prolapse of pelvic organs, especially that of the uterus.

Does a rude guy get customers to buy more?

We've all had that moment when we walk into an expensive store, and the staff looks us up and down like we're shoplifting. We then end up buy something at an outrageous price, and whether the hole in our wallet or the bruise to our ego lasts longer is an unresolved debate. But does this mean that we won't go back? A study suggests that the ruder a luxury store personnel is, the more ready customers are for a round two of retail abuse. We explore the reasons behind this bizarre behaviour.

DON'T YOU WANNA BE COOL?
So what motivates shoppers to walk into stores that will get them nothing but snickers from the staff ? According to an international business site, the feeling of exclusivity increases the brand's appeal. Basically , it's the buyer's version of running favours for the cool kids in the hope that they'll like you. It also becomes a challenge when you feel insulted by the staff's behaviour, and want to make them pay (but in reality , you pay... a lot). A shopper from Chicago recently told news channel, “I was in a Neiman Marcus, dressed nicely , with a Prada bag and nice shoes.
(The salesman) said I wouldn't be interested in the kind of makeup he sold because it was expensive. I got so angry that I ended up buying the $45 (`2,706) eyeliner just to show him I could.“

VALUE GOODS: LESS IS MORE
The study also suggests that for the people who regularly visit high-end shops, rude service will only annoy them. But those who don't go to such places are often motivated to buy the goods. “(It) only really works if you aspire for the brand -if it's something that you want and you don't have. For the consumers that are regular luxury shoppers, they are immune to the effect,“ says Darren Dahl, who co-authored the study.

JUDGE THE BOOK BY ITS COVER
If the staff's look doesn't match the image of the brand, they probably won't make such an impression on you. Saleswomen of fashion brands, for instance, are always impeccably dressed, and tend to intimidate casually dressed customers, who then buy clothes just to fit in.

WHAT THESE INTERNATIONAL CELEBS WENT THROUGH

OPRAH GETS OUSTED
Last year, during Oprah Winfrey's visit to Switzerland, a saleswoman of a high-end luxury store refused to sell her purse on the grounds that it was too expensive. The store personnel said that Oprah was trying to gain access after hours, but critics suspected racist undertones. Oprah spoke out against the incident, causing the brand, the store clerk and the Swiss Tourism Board to apologise.

KIM SNUBBED
BY DESIGNERS The famous Kardashian couldn't keep up with fashion trends during a 2013 photo shoot when designers refused to provide her dresses. Despite her popularity, the designers didn't think she was fashionable enough. Prior to her wedding, Kim was snubbed again by none other than Victoria Beckham when Posh refused to design her bridal gown. Sources close to the former Spice Girl said she didn't want to devalue her brand by associating with Kim.

MOVIES PRETTY WOMAN
Everyone remembers the scene in Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts' character gets snubbed by the staff in a clothing store. And even more memorable is Vivian's (Julia's character) revenge, as she utters the famous words, “Big mistake. Big. Huge,“ which struck a chord with the audience everywhere.

WATCH YOUR WAISTLINE FOR DIABETES RISK

A British health report has warned that adults with a large waistline are five times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. In its report, the Public Health England said they encourage people to monitor their waistline and assess risks of develop ing type 2 diabetes.According to the report, men having a waist circumference of over 40 inches are five times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Women with a waist circumference of over 34.6 inches are three times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.
Currently, 90 percent of the adults with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese, and the prevalence of both obesity and diabetes are on the increase, said experts. Being overweight or obese is the main avoidable risk factor for type 2 diabetes, they added.
The key to reducing your chances of type 2 diabetes is losing weight which can be achieved through a healthy diet and being more active.

Benefits of Spirulina

शरीरासाठी पोषक घटकांचा खजिना स्पिरुलिना - Benefits of Spirulina

आर.टी.ओ. कार्यालयात काम करणारी एक व्यक्ती माझ्यासमोर रेल्वेत बसली होती. प्रवास सुरु असतानाच मला नांदेडमधून माझ्या एका पेशंटचा फोन आला. आमचे बोलणे समोर बसलेली ही व्यक्ती लक्षपूर्वक ऐकत होती. बोलणे संपल्यावर त्या व्यक्तीने स्वतःचा परिचय करुन दिला आणि मला विचारले, ‘‘ तुम्ही डॉक्टर आहात का ?’’ मी उत्तर दिले, नाही... मी निसर्गोपचार सल्लागार आहे.’’ माझ्या उत्तराने त्यांची जिज्ञासा जागी झाली आणि त्यांनी आपले शारीरिक त्रास मला सांगायला सुरुवात केली. त्यांचे सुमारे अर्धातास ऐकून घेतल्यावर माझ्या लक्षात आले की, त्यांना काहीही झालेले नाही. शरीराची दैनंदिन गरज भागविण्यासाठी आणि शरीराची होणारी झीज भरुन काढण्यासाठी जे घटक शरीरात दररोज गेले पाहिजेत ते त्यांना पुरेशा प्रमाणात मिळत नाहीत. त्यामुळे त्यांना सतत थकल्यासारखे वाटणे, उत्साह नसणे, वजन वाढणे, पोट साफ न होणे, साथीच्या रोगांची तात्काळ लागण होणे, जडत्व आल्यासारखे वाटणे, सारखे झोपून रहावे असे वाटणे, वारंवार पित्त होणे अशा अनेक त्रासांना सामोरे जावे लागत आहे. या सगळ्याचा परिणाम त्यांच्या कामावर आणि करिअरवर झाला आहे. त्यातच भरीस भर म्हणून आधुनिक वैद्यक शास्त्राच्या तज्ज्ञांनी त्यांना करावयास लावलेल्या एक्स रे पासून एम.आर.आय. पर्यंतच्या अनेक तपासण्या आणि घ्यायला लावलेली औषधे याच्या खर्चामुळे ते पार वैतागून गेले होते. इतके करुनही त्यांना बरे वाटत नव्हतेच हा भाग वेगळाच! !

मी त्यांना स्पिरुलिनाच्या कॅप्सूल्स दिल्या. सकाळी आणि रात्री जेवणानंतर एक एक कॅप्सूल घेण्यास सांगितले. माझा मोबाईल नंबर दिला आणि सांगितले कॅप्सूल्स घ्यायला लागल्यापासून पंधरा दिवसांनी मला फोन करा आणि तुमची प्रगती सांगा. सोळाव्या दिवशी रात्री साडे दहा वाजता त्यांचा फोन आला. खूप उत्साहात ते बोलत होते. ‘‘ आनंदराव, चमत्कार झालाय ! ! आज मी माझ्या गावापासून शंभर किलोमीटरवर असलेल्या गावात आर.टी.ओ. कॅम्पला गेलो होतो. दिवसभरात दोनशे गाड्या पासिंग केल्यात. आत्ता परत आलोय पण, अजून फ्रेश आहे. अजिबात थकवा वाटत नाही. बाकीचे सगळे त्रासही कमी झालेत. तुमचे उपकार जन्मभर विसरणार नाही साहेब ! ! तुम्ही आता आमचे फॅमिली मेंबर आहात, कधीही आमच्या गावी, घरी हक्काने या ! !’’ मी धन्यवाद म्हणून फोन बंद केला आणि मला खूप समाधान वाटले.

काय आहे स्पिरुलिना ?

स्पिरुलिना ही निळ्या हिरव्या रंगाची आणि अनेक शाखा असणारी फोटोसिंथेटिक पाणवनस्पती आहे. प्रामुख्याने ही वनस्पती समुद्रात आढळते. शेवाळ्यासारखी असणारी ही वनस्पती तिच्या नागमोडी आकारामुळे ‘स्पिरुलिना’ या नावाने ओळखली जाते. मेक्सिको आणि मध्य आफ्रिकेतील लोक ही वनस्पती अगदी नैसर्गिक स्वरुपातही खातात. शास्त्रज्ञांना स्पिरुलिनातील पोषक तत्वांचा शोध सन १९६० मध्ये लागला. त्यानंतर स्पिरुलिना पृथ्वीवरील सर्वात शक्तीवर्धक प्रोबायोटिक पूरक अन्न म्हणून जगभरात वापरण्यात येवू लागले. आज जगभरातून लाखो लोक याचा पूरक अन्न म्हणून बिनधास्तपणे वापर करत असतात. इतकेच नव्हे तर सन १९७४ मध्ये अन्न आणि कृषी संघटनेने सर्वात चांगले शक्तीवर्धक पूरक अन्न म्हणून स्पिरुलिनाचे समर्थन केले आहे. सन १९८१ मध्ये फूड ऍण्ड ड्रग्ज ऍडमिनिस्ट्रेशननेही स्पिरुलिनाचा गौरव केला आहे. सन १९८३ मध्ये पश्‍चिम जर्मनीच्या इंटरनॅशनल फूड एक्स्पोजर या संस्थेनेही स्पिरुलिनाचे समर्थन केले आहे.

स्पिरुलिनातून काय मिळते ?

उत्तम जीवन, शक्तीशाली आणि सुदृढ शरीर यासाठी स्पिरुलिना हा आदर्श पूरक आहार आहे हे त्यातून मिळणारे घटक पाहिले की लगेच लक्षात येईल. रोज सकाळी एक आणि रात्री एक याप्रमाणे सलग सहा दिवस स्पिरुलिनाच्या बारा कॅप्सूल्स पोटात गेल्या (साधारण ६००० मिलीग्रॅम) तर शरीराला खालीलप्रमाणे पोषक घटक मिळतात.

१) बीटाकॅरेटिन ः ५६ ग्लास गाईचे दूध प्याल्यावर अथवा ५५० सफरचंद खाल्ल्यावर जितके बीटाकॅरेटिन मिळेल तितके आणि गाजरापेक्षा २५ पट अधिक

२) व्हिटॅमिन बी १ ः हिरव्या मिरच्या २० खाल्ल्यावर जितके मिळेल इतके

३) व्हिटॅमिन बी २ ः ४२० द्राक्षे अथवा ४७ स्ट्रॉबेरीज खाल्ल्यावर जितके मिळेल इतके.

४) व्हिटॅमिन बी ३ ः आठ लिंबू खाल्ल्यावर जितके मिळते तितके

५) व्हिटॅमिन बी ६ ः ९० ग्रॅम ब्रेडपासून जितके मिळते तितके

६) व्हिटॅमिन बी १२ ः २४० ग्रॅम पनीर पासून जितके मिळते तेवढे

७) व्हिटॅमिन ई ः चिकनचे सहा तुकडे खाल्ल्यावर जितके मिळेल तितके. पालेभाज्यांपेक्षा ३ टक्के अधिक

७) प्रोटिन्स ः पालेभाज्यांपेक्षा ६० टक्के अधिक, दुधापेक्षा १४ टक्के अधिक, अंड्यापेक्षा ६ टक्के अधिक तर कडधान्यापेक्षा ३ टक्के अधिक

८) जैविक लोह घटक ः पालेभाज्यांपेक्षा पाच ते आठ पट अधिक

९) क्लोरोफिल ः अल्फा अल्फापेक्षा ५ ते ३० पट अधिक

याशिवाय स्पिरुलिनामध्ये २९ टक्के फॅटी ऍसिड असते. त्यामुळे शरीरातील घातक कोलेस्ट्रॉल हटवले जाते, चरबी वितळवून शरीराबाहेर टाकली जाते आणि हृदयाचे रक्षण होते.

स्पिरुलिना कोणत्या आजारात फायदेशीर आहे ?

विविध शरीरोपयोगी घटकांनी परिपूर्ण असणारे हे स्पिरुलिना शरीरातील पौष्टिक घटकांची कमतरता भरुन काढते. शरीराची क्षमता आणि रोगप्रतिकारक शक्ती वाढविते. फुफ्फुसांना अधिकप्रमाणात प्राणवायू मिळावा यासाठी काम करते. पेशींना बळकट बनविते. शरीराची चयापचय क्रिया सुधारते. रक्ताभिसरण वाढवते. सर्वसाधारण आजार आणि जुने आजार यावर काम करते. ऍनेमिया, हृदयाशी संबंधीत आजार, अकाली येणारे वृध्दत्व, लठ्ठपणा, अल्सर, मानसिक ताण, पचनसंस्थेचे विविध आजार, दीर्घकाळापासूनचा संधीवात, डोळ्याच्या आणि केसांच्या समस्या, स्मृतीभ्रंश अशा आजारात तर स्पिरुलिना खूपच छान फायदा देते. त्याचबरोबर कॅन्सर आणि एचआयव्ही सारख्या पेशींशी संबंधित आजारातही स्पिरुलिना प्रभावीपणे काम करते. स्पिरुलिना शरीरातील विषद्रव्ये बाहेर काढते आणि विषारी पदार्थांच्या आघातापासून मूत्रपिंडाचे (किडनी) रक्षण करते. उच्च रक्तदाब, हृदयरोग आणि वाढत्या वयासोबत येणारे आजार यासाठी तर स्पिरुलिना संजीवनीच म्हणावी लागेल.

स्पिरुलिना हे समृध्द शक्ती, कमी कॅलरीज आणि सहज पचणारे पूरक अन्न आहे. म्हणूनतर ‘नासा’ या अंतराळ संशोधन संस्थेने त्याचा वापर आणि गौरव केला आहे. गेल्या साडेतीन लक्ष वर्षांपासून लहरी निसर्ग, सततचे प्रदूषण अशा नेक उलथा पालथींशी टक्कर देत स्पिरुलिना आपले नैसर्गिक गुणधर्म जसेच्या तसे टिकवून आहे, हा निसर्गाचा अजब चमत्कारच म्हणावा लागेल. स्पिरुलिना स्वस्त आणि सामान्य माणसाला परवडेल असे आहे. १०० कॅप्सूल्स साधारण ३६० रुपयांना मिळतात. रोज दोन कॅप्सूल्स घ्यायच्या असल्याने एका व्यक्तीला साधारण एक महिना वीस दिवस जातात. म्हणजे दिवसाचा खर्च सात रुपये वीस पैसे आहे. आपला रोजचा चहाचा खर्च यापेक्षा नक्कीच जादा असतो आणि त्याचा शरीराला फायदा होण्यापेक्षा तोटाच अधिक होतो. त्याही पुढे जाऊन विचार करायचा तर निरोगी राहण्यासाठी रोजचा सात रुपये खर्च हा आजारी पडल्यावर होणार्‍या दवाखान्याच्या खर्चापेक्षा नक्कीच कमी आहे, नाही का ? स्पिरुलिना आजारी असलेल्यांनी तर घ्यावेच पण ज्यांना कसलाही आजार नाही अशा निरोगींनीही कायमपणे रोगमुक्त राहण्यासाठी अवश्य घ्यावे. याबाबत अधिक माहिती अथवा अतिशय उत्तम प्रतिच्या स्पिरुलिना कॅप्सूल्स हव्या असतील तर माझ्याशी जरुर संपर्क साधावा. मी उपलब्ध करुन देईन.
