Ayurvedic Cooking

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Ayurveda is the ancient Indian philosophy of health and wellbeing. It means the art of living wisely. In simple terms, Ayurveda is a holistic system which guides us so that we can live a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. It recognises that we are all unique and focuses on lifestyle, massage, yoga and herbal remedies and of course food.
In this video Anjali Pathak shows how to cook Kitcheri, a one pot dish containing ingredients with many Ayurvedic properties – histone rice, lentils, vegetables and wonderful healing spices. It is fully balanced, nutritious and inexpensive.

KITCHERI:

Ayurvedic Properties

Turmeric natural antiseptic cures anything inside and out
Black Pepper coughs and colds
Tomatoes high in Vitamin A good for coughs and colds
Balti Paste over 20 healing spices perfect for everything (coriander – digestion, cloves blood purifier, cinnamon good for memory, cardamom digestive and mouth freshener)
Spinach good source of fibre and so good for intestines
Potatoes and leeks vitamins and minerals
Rice high in vitamin A & B and easily digestible
Lentils (yellow dhal) full of protein
Salt good for bone growth and heat regulation of the body
Sugar good for energy

Prep Time : 15 minutes
Cooking Time : 40 minutes
Serves 4

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon black pepper, lightly crushed
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
3 tablespoons Pataks Balti Paste
100 g (3½ oz) basmati rice, washed well and left to soak in cold water for 30 minutes
100 g (3½ oz) yellow split mung beans or yellow gram / toover dhal, washed well and left to soak in cold water for 2 hours
1 baking potato, peeled and chopped into bitesize pieces
1 leek, cleaned and chopped
75 g (3 oz) spinach, washed
1 tomato, chopped
boiling water (approx. 2 2½ pints)
pinch of sugar
salt, to taste
juice of ½ lime (optional)

Method:

In a pan heat the oil and add the cumin seeds and black pepper. When the seeds begin to sizzle add the turmeric powder and Pataks Balti Paste. Sprinkle in a few drops of water and stir well. Drain the lentils and rice and add to the masala. After 1 minute add the leeks and allow to cook for a further minute before pouring in enough boiling water to cover the grains by about 5cm (2 inches). Add the potatoes, stir and cover. Allow the kitcheri to come to the boil before reducing the heat and allowing it to simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally during cooking and add more water if required. After 20 minutes add the tomatoes and spinach.
The kitcheri is cooked through when the grains are squashed easily between your fingers and when the rice is soft. Most of the water should have been absorbed.
Add the sugar and check the seasoning, adjusting the salt if necessary. Finally, squeeze in the lime juice (if using).
Serve simply with fresh hot chapattis.

Anjali’s Tip : For an interesting twist why not garnish with the seeds of half a pomegranate. This fruit is fantastic for purifying the blood and cleansing the stomach.

Fatloss Lifestyle Body Fat Percentage Help Guide by Darin Steen

Friday, January 15th, 2010

http://www.FatlossLifeStyle.com

The only thing that can come from only using the scale to see if your exercise program is working is “Bad News”.

If you really want to know if your program is working for you you need more tools. You see; our body is made up of about 60% water.

A 150 lb. person has about 100 lbs. of water. That water goes in and out of cells, muscle, organs depending on many factores. For women a certain time of the month, for higher intake of sodium, for intake of different types of carbs, etc.

My point is that your bodyweight fluctates for so many reasons that we can’t figure it out.

Three ways that are better than just using the scale to see if your fitness program is working is:

#1 The way your clothes fit

If your pants are more lose around the waist and you have
more room in your clothes than more than likely are losing fat.

#2
To use a clothe tape and a scale.

The waist line measurement and the scale give you a lot better feedback.

If the scale stays the same and the waist measurement goes down, then you are losing fat and gaining muscle.

If the scale stays the same and the waist measurement goes up then you are gaining fat.

#3

One site skin fold caliper kit. They are very easy to use and very affordable. Just google search for them. The feedback is much more precise than the other methods above.

The three #’s that are important to monitor are;

1. Overall bodyfat %
2. Fat weight
3. Lean Body Mass

These kit are very easy to use and within one minute you will know if you are losing, gaining, or maintaining muscle and fat.

Using one or all three of these techniques you will be able to find out what works and what does not work at gaining muscle and losing fat.

If you have been following me for any length of time you know that I believe that one of the most important factors in transforming your body and life is “muscle confusion”. Simply put; you can’t do the same exercises the same way all the time. You must give your muscles something new and different.

Tune in here each week to get a new “Unique Exercise of The Month” that will shock your body to lose fat and gain muscle.
