The VEDAH Diaries
-----------------

The 9th chapter - The Baap of Perseverance!!!

From 85 kg to 65 kg and from a waist size of 39 inch. to 32 inch., he ensured that his kids don't ve to fetch for a role model outside home.

SYNOPSIS -

"I felt miserable when I couldn't carry my young boy on my shoulders for more than 5 min.", these were the words and emotions that set pace for his transformation. He joined the VEDAH program a little later and was on the path of a mammoth change, already. The program gave him the right nudge to have an edge!

SCIENCE OF SIGNS -

A case of the dual dosha Pitta-Kapha in Ayurveda; the Pitta constituent was aggravating inflammation inside his GI tract (Nidana in Sanskrit). The quantity superseded the quality of tissue formation, which eventually aggravated the Kapha dosha and put him on the obesity map.

LIMITATIONS -

. Hypo-thyroidism

. Frequent business trips

METHOD -

. Alleviate GI tract inflammation by reducing the Pitta and subsequent bowel cleansing to improve food absorption and assimilation.

. Isometric workouts to increase muscle tone and endurance.

APPARATUS -

. Use herbs like Triphala for regular bowel cleansing to eliminate toxins (Ama in Sanskrit) from the GI tract. The body up-regulates fat accumulation in the subcutaneous and visceral region to store
toxins and hence, ensure that they don't leech out into the blood stream.

. Improve the resting metabolic rate (RMR). A Kapha reducing diet played that part well.

. Up-regulate bio-synthesis of co-enzyme Q10 with Vit. B supplementation in the body to increase the RMR.

. Incorporate isometric workouts.

Hunchbacks (non-literal) looking for a Fall guy...maybe, you should take a leaf from his book!

रत्नैर्महाब्धेस्तुतुषुर्न देवा न भोजिरे भीमविषेण भीतिम् ।
सुधां विना न प्रययुर्विरामं न निश्चितार्थाद्विरमन्ति धीराः ॥

While churning the ocean for nectar, Gods were not pleased with gems secured from the ocean. Nor did they entertain fear when they secured the terrible poison.
They churned the ocean until they got nectar. Thus people with determination do not swerve from their goal.
