        How To Gain Weight Naturally

        I have posted a lot about weight loss recently. Today one of the user asked me about how to gain weight naturally. This definitely is a question to be answered. Above is a chart to help your out with how much you should weight as compared to your height. I myself have undergone this phase and have got an experience to gain weight in a natural way. I was able to put up almost 8kg ( 17.63 lbs ). I was able to gain 8 kgs of weight in 4 months. I was 57 kg ( 125.66 pounds ) initially and weighed 65kg ( 143.3 ) at end of 4 months. This happened a long back in 2005-2006. There was no extra cost paid for any type of products, equipments, medicines or doctors. Everything which I followed can be termed as natural way to gain weight. Below are some of the things which are very important to gain weight.

        Determination
        One should be determined to gain weight. Let weight gain weight become the only thing you want from your life for some time. Set your goal. Set your final target of weight to be achieved. Better to set a target of minimum required weight for the height. But I prefer the people who are more determined to set the target to be the maximum. I am 5 feet 7 inch and the ideal weight for me is between 60 kg and 65 kg. ( 132.27lbs and 143.3 lbs ). I kept the target of 65 kg.

        Don't set the time
        Never set a time to to reach the target weight. Just make the target weight to be one of your greatest achievement. An achievement which no matter what time you will have to put into but when achieved will make you proud. Just go on doing the necessary things checking your weight gain daily or weekly whatever you feel comfortable with. Setting time might bring your morale down if you slip in your schedule or your body is not able to perform nicely during some time of the schedule.

        Workout
        Join a gym. Start a healthy workout. Avoid cardio exercise except it is for a warm up purpose. Divide your workout for all the body parts so that in week you work on 1 body part at least twice. Increase your protein intake and hence the energy levels. Bananas and egg whites are the best things. Eat something at least half an hour before driving to gym. Never do workout empty stomach. You will see a sudden rise in your appetite as your body has to do extra work for a day.
        More energy loss will result in more energy required. Indirectly you need to refuel your body with more food. More food means more weight gain naturally.

        Break the Breakfast
        This is one area where a lot of people can do well. Generally morning breakfast should be heavier than any other meal you consume throughout the day. This is the time to get your body going for the days work and the digestive system is all ready to start its functionality. Feed the stomach with as much food possible during the breakfast. I am sure in skinny people one extra meal will definitely get introduced. To increase the breakfast food consumption, workout in the morning will help a lot. Remember not to eat immediately not at least half an hour after workout.


        Inspiration
        Check your weight on regular basis. There surely is going to be gain in weight. Whatever weight you gain during the day or week, let it be an inspiration. Let This inspiration will drive you towards your next day or next week's weight gain regime. Inspiration combined with determination can do magic to gain weight naturally.

        Tip: I wrote what worked for me. Maybe if you have any known conditions it would be best to consult a doctor.

        Causes of Lower Back Pains

        Back is the second most common reason for which a person visits doctors all over the world. 4 out of 5 americans face this problem once in their lifetime before they get old. We will put some light on what are the cause of lower back pains int his post. Aging, muscle imbalance and modern life style are some of the causes of lower back pains. Lets try to understand how these causes result in back pains.

        How Back works?
        To under what cause back pains, one should have a sound knowledge of how our back works. The back of humans is made of muscles which are interwoven in each other. The Spine of the human body is S shaped. The back muscles wrap around the S shape spinal column. The spine is
        made up of 24 vertebrae connected to each other by facet joints. Between these vertebrae lie a shock absorbing material called inter-vertebral discs. These disc are filled with water and help in eliminating the shock which one might get after an impact or because of the movement of the back.

        Aging Back Pain
        The inter-vertebral discs are made of 80% water when we are born and can absorb more shocks. But as one grows older, the amount of water starts to diminish thus making our body more prone to pain from the shocks. It is fond that middle age person's inter-vertebral discs has 50% water left while a much older person has 20% water in the shock absorbing pads. Thus it is evident from the above the facts that aging is one of the cause of lower back pains.

        Muscle Imbalance
        It is also evident that the muscles around the spine should be in good balance shape to avoid back pain. When the muscles in front of pelvis are stronger, they tend to pull front of the pelvis down. As a result back of the pelvis goes a little bit up. It then becomes impossible to maintain the healthy spine shape and the change in shape increases the spine curvature. Thus the muscles in the increased curvature area are always irritated and stretched. This is another cause of lower back pain as these muscles ache when they come in action i.e when one does a activity which involves movement of these muscles.

        Sitting in Chairs
        Our body has been trained through all the past years of evolution to perform activities otherwise than eat, travel and sit in chair. Sitting in a cross legged position is a perfect alignment for the spine and maintaining flexibility in the hips area. This makes back pain less common in Asia as people still prefer sitting on the floor with cross legs for most of their activities. They sit on floor for their meals, for meetings and some people follow it for work a well.

        Flexibility
        It is important that should be very much flexible in hip, then only he or she can avoid back pain. But our modern life style of using the chair for each and every work that we perform results in putting stress on spinal disc and results in problems like cramps and weakens our back muscles thus reducing the hip flexibility.

        Life Style
        A balance posture is a key to pain free back. A group of cells called proprioceptors send data to the brain regarding the proper position and alignment of muscles. When we are not balanced the brain is therefor able to tell us that we should get in proper posture. However in today's stress filled life style we often tend to ignore these signals. A prolonged ignorance can thus result causing lower back pain.

        Things Which Are Not Told About Gastric Bypass Surgery

        Gastric gastric bypass is a surgery to loose weight in case of people who are facing a problem of morbid obesity and have a BMI of 40+. This post is intended to those who have already made their decision or are thinking of undergoing a gastric bypass surgery to unfold some of the facts which might not be told by surgeon before undergoing the surgery. Or it might happen that a surgeon guides you through everything but we might skip a point or two by not taking a instruction in a proper sense or meaning. Read on to find what are those things.

        Taste Buds can Change
        Though change in taste buds is a natural process a lot of people who have undergone the surgery complain that what they used to like before the gastric bypass surgery is disliked by them post surgery. A gastric bypass patient might have planned for keeping a nutritional diet based on the food he or she liked before the surgery. But post surgery the thought of the then liked food can make them nauseous.

        No more medicine in capsule form
        Though the surgeon when undergoes your medical history prior to planning the gastric bypass surgery, will be known to the medicines that you take daily. But if you are not under any medication then the surgeon might skip telling you that you can no more take the medication in capsule form. The medicine which are extended release need a long time to sit and get processed in stomach. After a gastric bypass it is highly unlikely that anything will stay that long in the patients stomach as the stomach pouch is much much smaller and you have to fill it up with the nutritional diet which is a must after gastric bypass.

        You will have to fight the shock of food you eat
        Generally the people who undergo a gastric bypass surgery have a not to mention heavy diet. Though a patient is aware that post surgery he or she will have to cut down the diet to almost nothing, it does take a emotional turmoil on the patients when they actual start following it post gastric bypass surgery. A patient may feel not so energetic and loss of muscle strength. The first few months of gastric bypass surgery are really a test as the people in love with food have to give up for nutritional food and it feels like you are eating just to live.

        Tip : Please consider these factors as well and get them verified from the physician or surgeon suggesting the gastric bypass surgery to you.
