8 Tips to Increase Your Core Energy, Promote Lean Muscle Growth, and Support
Muscle Recuperation
EXPERT ADVICE:
Power Foods for Energy
Author: Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra
When you need a high-energy fix, do you reach for a power bar or power shake?
Or do you resort to caffeine, chocolate, or high-sugar snacks when you feel
that "end of the day" sag? It may surprise you, but the real energy-boosters
are fresh fruits, vegetables, spices, and whole grains. These are the foods
that are rich in 'Chetna,' the healing and nurturing influence of nature.
They are so alive with nature's intelligence that fatigue-causing toxins
cannot accumulate in the body when you eat them.
Grains for Power
Athletes have long relied on carbohydrates in grains for long-term endurance
and energy. Yet not all carbohydrates are created alike. A Croissant, for
instance, is high in fat and low in nutrition. The most nutritious carbohydrates
are whole grains, which have been found to lower cholesterol, inhibit
cancer-causing activity and harmful bacteria in the intestines, and lower
blood glucose level. And of these whole grains, Rye, Quinoa, Amaranth and
Millet are the most nutritious, because they are especially high in protein
and minerals. They are also high in fiber, and thus have a detoxifying value.
These are the same auspicious grains that are described in the Vedic texts
and are used for Vedic ceremonies.
One-half cup of Amaranth (measured dry), for instance, contains 14 g. protein,
8 mg. iron, and also Magnesium and Zinc. The same amount of Quinoa contains
13 g. of protein, 9 mg. of iron and 3 mg. of Zinc. Rye is also high in Protein,
with one-half cup yielding 15 grams of protein and 4 mg. of zinc. Millet
is a good source of B vitamins.
All of these grains contain Copper, which is an essential trace mineral that
improves energy and immunity, and their Zinc content also boosts Ojas, the
finest product of digestion that creates lightness, inner energy, immunity
and bliss.
To prepare power grains, place 2 cups of water in a saucepan and bring it
to a boil. Add a teaspoon of Ghee and 1/2 cup of the grain. Boil for ten
minutes and then lower to a simmer. Cook until the grain is tender.
Adding Ghee is important because otherwise the grains create internal dryness.
Energizing Vegetables and Fruits
Other high-energy foods include fresh vegetables, which should constitute
forty percent of the meal. Green, leafy vegetables are especially high in
minerals and fiber, so should be eaten often.
Fruits are also a source of energy. You can start the day with a stewed apple,
and if you feel hungry in between meals, try snacking on a juicy pear. If
you are feeling heavy and bloated after lunch, eat a fresh papaya, because
they contain enzymes that aid digestion. If you have a strong digestion and
more Pitta in your constitution, Mangoes are a rich Ojas-producing food,
and half a Mango contains 2 mg. beta-carotene and is a rich source of Vitamin
C.
Raisins are among the best of fruits because they enhance Sattva (purity),
pacify the mind and heart and increase the coordination between them. They
are also a rich source of Iron and Vitamin B6, and provide Magnesium, Calcium,
Zinc, and Potassium. Raisins aid digestion and elimination when they are
soaked in water overnight. One handful per person is a good amount.
A Date-Milk Energy Shake is a nourishing way to end the day, because it promotes
sleep and calms both Pitta and Vata sleep imbalances.
Date-Milk Energy Shake
4-5 whole dates (Medjool dates are ideal)
1 cup whole organic milk (unhomogenized if possible)
1 pinch cinnamon powder
Boil the milk until it creates a foam. Turn off the heat and cool until the
temperature is comfortable for drinking. Combine the milk with the other
ingredients and blend until the dates are ground up. Drink it warm in winter
and at room temperature in summer.
Beware of Energy-Draining Foods
Just as there are foods to boost energy, other foods drain it. Any fast foods,
canned, frozen, packaged, leftover, or old foods or foods laced with
preservatives, chemicals, and additives are difficult to digest and
contain little nutritional content.
If you do eat some of these foods, and you feel heavy after eating, drink
half a glass of water with 1/4 of a fresh lime squeezed into it.
But if you are feeling dull, sluggish, and drained of energy every day, it
probably means that your diet contains too many energy-draining foods, which
have clogged your micro-channels with toxins. This means that you need to
overhaul your diet to include foods that create Ojas and energy.
Adding spices to your food is an easy way to increase the value of Chetna,
or nature's intelligence. Try sautéing Cumin, Coriander, Fennel, and
Turmeric in Ghee, then add vegetables or cooked grains. Or add spices to
your drinking water to boost your energy.
Cumin-Mineral Water
1 quart water
1/4 tsp. whole cumin
1/3 tsp. whole fennel
2 pinches of licorice
Boil the water first. Place it in a thermos and add the spices. Sip the water
throughout the day to improve digestion and increase your energy. If you
are a Pitta constitutional type, you may want to let the water cool to room
temperature before drinking.
The important thing is to eat foods every day that boost your energy, rather
than relying on artificial boosters when you feel your energy sag, because
there will always be a negative side-effect.

Our Cherokee grandfather's most ancient stories tell us that we Cherokee
were in exodus and walked a great distance when we came to the ocean. With
faith we built rafts and crossed the ocean, coming from the East across the
Eastern Ocean (from the "Old World") to the West (The New World) and established
a life for ourselves in this new land of the Americas. The Cherokee

Try
a Proprietary Formula for Strength Enhancement based on Ayurveda - the Oldest
and Most Comprehensive Medical System Available.
Sherpa
Strength treats the underlying causes of musculoskeletal weakness
- not just the symptoms!
Sherpa
Strength contains the 8 most potent strength building herbal concentrates
available in
Ayurvedic
Science and backed by
clinical
studies. When formulated in the correct amounts and blended
by our proprietary
process, 233
natural phytonutrients
exert 503
synergistic activitieson your body to increase core energy, improve
circulation,
promote
lean muscle growth, prevent muscle breakdown, strengthen bones, and foster
muscle recuperation.
Sherpa
Strength
increases
core energy by stimulating thermogenic response (release of metabolic heat
energy), increasing peripheral circulation to the extermities, and eliciting
the natural production of anabolic growth hormones that improve utilization
of body fat for energy. It improves circulation by promoting the release
of nitric oxide which causes vasodilation of blood vessels that leads to
increased blood flow, improved oxygen and nutrient transport, and reduction
in blood pressure. Sherpa Strength induces lean muscle growth by elevating
testosterone and growth hormone production, restoring healthy levels of glutamine
which drives muscle building nitrogen into muscle cells, and supplying
hyroxychalcone which enhances insulin binding in muscle cells (leading to
better absorption of glucose, creatine, and amino acids by muscle tissue).
It prevents muscle
breakdown by introducing steroidal lactones that increase endurance, glutathione
which detoxifies cells, recemofuran which fortifies the body's defense against
environmental toxins, and glycyrrhetinic acid and glycyrrhizin carbenoxolone
which protect the liver from inflammation and free radical damage (thus ensuring
optimal body detoxification). Sherpa Strength strengthens bones through genistein
which stimulates estrogen production to increase bone density and better
regulate bone cell metabolism. It fosters relaxation by elevating serotonin
levels and introducing piplartine to calm the mind and reduce muscle
tension.
The
ingredients
in Sherpa Strength comprise a Proprietary Blend
that goes to work directly on your entire body with positive impact on core
energy, muscle growth, and overall strength development. Simply take
one Sherpa Strength capsule two times per day
to maintain and intensify these effects on your body over time. For
optimal results, please incorporate lifestyle guidance provided to you through
medical consultation with our staff of Ayurveda doctors.

Sherpa Strength's Proprietary Formula

Your
Musculoskeletal System Physical Strength is the
state and quality of being able-bodied, having the aptitude to administer
effective action. It is the power to resist attack, strain, and
stress.
The Musculoskeletal System,
also called the locomotor system, provides form, stability, and movement
to the
body. It is
composedof bones, muscles, cartilage,
tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissues. Bones are connected
by joints and strengthened by muscles, which facilitate motion when
contracted.
Bones - Aside from providing
structural support for the entire body, bones are also responsible for storing
minerals and lipids. 99% of the body's calcium and energy reserves (lipids)
are saved in them. These reserves maintain normal concentration of calcium
and phosphate ions in the body fluids. They also host the production of blood
elements (red blood cells and white blood cells) of the body, protect soft
tissues and organs (such as the heart, lungs, brain, and reproductive organs),
and leverage movement by changing the magnitude and direction of the forces
exerted by muscles.
Joints - Joints are points
where bones interconnect. They operate within the lines of stability and
range of motion.
Tendons - Tendons attach
muscles to bones; they are essential for movement.
Ligaments - Ligaments attach
bones to bones, building the framework and connectivity of your
body.
Muscles - Muscles contract
to pull on tendons and move the bones of the skeleton. Their main function
is to produce force and cause motion. There are more than 600 muscles made
of elastic tissue and small fibers in the body. Skeletal muscles maintain
posture and body position, support soft tissues, guard entrances and exits
to the digestive and urinary tracts, and maintain body temperature.
Nerves - Nerves control the
contraction of skeletal muscles, interpret sensory information, and coordinate
the activities of the body's organ systems.
Cartilage - Cartilage is
a form of connective tissue. The three major types of cartilage are hyaline
cartilage, which reduces friction during joint movement as in the tips of
ribs and nasal septum; elastic cartilage, which supports and tolerates distortion
without damage as in the external flap of the ear; and fibrocartilage, which
resists compression and prevents bone-to-bone contact as in the knee joint
and the spaces between the spinal vertebrae.
World
Renowned Strength of the Sherpas
Sherpas are highly regarded
for their hardiness and expertise in high altitude mountaineering. They have
been an integral part of Everest climbing expeditions. Researchers speculate
that their climbing ability is due to genetic adaptation like unique
hemoglobin-binding enzymes, doubled nitric oxide production, hearts that
fully utilize glucose, and lungs with an increased sensitivity to oxygen
which scarce at high altitudes. Living at high altitude fosters endurance.
High-altitude living increases red-blood-cell concentrations, allowing more
oxygen to reach the muscles during exercise, and also hikes the levels of
an important chemical called 2.3-DPG (a highly anionic organic phosphate
which is present in human red blood cells at about the same molar ratio as
hemoglobin), which helps 'release' oxygen from red blood cells to the muscles
during intense exercise.
Strength
in Muscles Muscles are fortified through
proper metabolism. Metabolism is a set of chemical changes within the tissue
of the body that facilitates growth, reproduction, function, and strength
build-up. Anabolic metabolism promotes constructive transformation in your
body such as growth of muscle tissue (mass) and increase in body size. Catabolic
metabolism is the breakdown of complex substances into simpler ones; producing
a significant amount of energy for your physical strength.
Here are the following factors
affecting the magnitude of your physical strength:
Type of Muscle Fibers - There
are two basic types of muscle fibers."Slow twitch" muscle fibers produce small levels of force for long
periods of time and deliver endurance. They are best used for cardiovascular
(aerobic) activities. On the other hand, "fast twitch" muscle fibers produce
high levels of force for short periods of time and deliver power. They are
best suited for weightlifting and anaerobic activities. Men and women have
an equal combination of both slow twitch and fast twitch fibers; however,
there are cases when some people inherit a high percentage of slow twitch
fibers that enhance their performance in endurance activities. This is true
for long distance runners. Marathon runners have a very high amount of slow
twitch fibers. Adversely, football players have relatively faster twitch
muscle fibers essential for them to execute quick high-energy moves. Both
the slow twitch and fast twitch fiber types respond positively to strength
training exercises but the fast twitch types experience greater increases
in muscle size and strength in less time.
Limb and Muscle Length -
Muscle length breeds differences in strength development. Those with relatively
long muscles have greater potential for developing size and strength than
persons with relatively short muscles.
Age - People of all ages
can increase their muscle size and strength from an effective training program.
The rate of strength and muscle gain is rapid during ages 10 to 20. After
reaching normal physical maturity, muscular improvements usually slow down
a little.
Gender - The muscles of men
and women are of the same quality but different in terms of quantity. Men
generally have more muscle tissue than women due to the male sex hormone
(testosterone), which stimulates muscle size increase in men. The larger
the muscles, the stronger the person. This explains the fact that men are
stronger than women.
Genetics - Your genetic
predisposition also influences your strength and muscle build up. But even
when you are born with genetic inclination to being weak or overweight, your
lifestyle and heath measures can change your state of fitness.
Muscle
Disorders Some conditions significantly weaken your Musculoskeletal System and
reduce your physical
strength:
Myopathy - Myopathy refers
to any type of damage to muscle. The most common forms of Myopathy are inherited
myopathies, due to mutation of a gene on the X chromosome; mitochondrial
myopathies, caused by damage to the mitochondria (energy-producing structures
in cells that serve as power plants); and metabolic myopathies, brought about
by disturbances in metabolism. In most cases of Myopathy, weakness is experienced
in the muscles of the upper arms, shoulders, thighs, and pelvis. Muscles
in the hands and feet may also become weak as the disease progresses. Aside
from genetics, causes of myopathy include underlying autoimmune disorders
(such as myasthenia gravis, scleroderma, and thyroiditis), endocrine diseases
(such as Cushing syndrome, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and Addison disease),
infections (such as HIV, Lyme disease, and trichinosis), underlying metabolic
disorders (such as glycogen and lipid storage diseases), exposure to toxins
(such as herbicides, insecticides, and flame retardant chemicals), Vitamin
D deficiency, Vitamin E or A toxicity, and medication intake (such as
antihistamines, statins, and long-term corticosteroid use). Symptoms of Myopathy
include skeletal muscle weakness, aching, cramping, pain, stiffness, tenderness,
and tightness.
Fibromyalgia - Fibromyalgia,
also known as Fibrositis, is a chronic condition characterized by pain,
stiffness, and tenderness of the muscles, tendons, and joints. Its pain is
widespread, involving both sides of the body. Fibromyalgia tender points
(localized tender areas of the body that can bring on widespread pain and
muscle spasm when touched) include the elbows, shoulders, knees, hips, back
of the head, and the sides of the breastbone. Symptoms of Fibromyalgia include
migraine and tension headaches, numbness in different parts of the body,
abdominal pain related to irritable bowel syndrome ("spastic colon"), and
painful and frequent urination. Cause of this disorder is still unknown,
yet it has been associated with psychological distress, trauma, and infection.
Noise, weather change, and emotional stress aggravate the pain in Fibromyalgia.
Some studies are pointing to elevated levels of nerve chemical signals, elevated
levels of nerve growth factors in the spinal fluid, and low levels of the
brain chemical, seratonin, as causes of the disease. Fibromyalgia patients
also have debilitated sleep phase of non-Rapid Eye Movement (non-REM). This
has been believed to have direct influence with the fatigue experienced by
the patients upon waking up. About 2% of the population of the United States,
of which 80% are women, has Fibromyalgia. It can occur independently or along
with other diseases such as systemic lupus or rheumatoid
arthritis.
Dermatomyositis - Dermatomyositis
is a chronic inflammatory disease of skin and muscle, associated with patches
of slightly raised reddish or scaly rash usually on the bridge of the nose,
around the eyes, or on sun-exposed areas of the neck and chest. The rash
is accompanied or preceded by muscle weakness (especially muscles closest
to the trunk of the body (proximal), which is the most common symptom. Other
symptoms include fatigue, discomfort, weight-loss, low-grade fever, trouble
with swallowing (dysphagia), muscle aches and tenderness, difficulty rising
from a sitting position, climbing stairs, lifting objects, or reaching overhead.
Distal muscles (those not close to the trunk of the body) may also be affected
as the disease progresses. Hardened bumps of calcium deposits under
the skin may also develop. The cause of Dermatomyositis is not fully known
but it is considered an autoimmune disease, when white blood cells instead
of fighting bacteria and viruses begin to attack the body's own muscles.
A person's genetic disposition along with a triggering environment factor
like viral infection is a risk factor. Polymyositis and dermatomyositis can
occur at any age but are most common in children and adults over age 50.
Females are more often affected than males. One to five new cases per 100,000
peoplearound the world are diagnosed
each year.
Polymyositis - Polymyositis
is a muscle disorder featuring inflammation of the muscle fibers. It is
characterized by periods of increased symptoms, called flares or relapses,
and minimal or no symptoms, known as remissions. Symptoms include joint pain
and swelling, coughing and shortness of breath, and hardening of skin and
muscles (calcification). The cause of the disease is not known. Yet, it has
been attributed to dysfunction of the immune system when immune cells of
inflammation invade muscles. The muscles usually affected are those closest
to the trunk or torso. It also can affect other areas of the body and can
result in severe muscle weakness. It is associated with cancer or with other
diseases of connective tissue such as systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma,
and rheumatoid arthritis. Polymyositis is slightly more common in females.
It affects all age groups, although its onset is most common in middle childhood
and in the 20s.
Muscle Spasm - Muscle spasm
is characterized by an abrupt, short-lived, and severe pain, which may be
relieved by gently stretching the muscle. Causes of muscle spasm include
stress, anxiety, dehydration and electrolyte abnormalities. The main symptom
of muscle spasm is the acute onset of pain as the muscle contracts and bulges
underneath the skin. Smooth muscles that are within the walls of hollow organs
in the body can also experience spasm such as pain associated with diarrhea,
gallbladder pain, and kidney stone pain.
Dystonias - Dystonias is
a special form of muscle spasm caused by an abnormality in the chemicals
inside the brain. These are movement disorders in which sustained muscle
contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures.
Examples of Dystonias are torticollis (a state of excessive or inadequate
muscle tone in the neck that controls the position of the head) and blepharospasm
(involuntary forcible closure of the eyelids). Symptoms include deterioration
in handwriting, foot cramps, tendency of one foot to pull up after running
or walking some distance, rapid blinking, tremor, and speech difficulties.
Dystonic motions may lead to permanent physical deformities by causing tendons
to shorten. Treatment may include medications to help restore the
neurotransmitter levels to normal and Botox injections to paralyze the affected
muscle and relieve the spasm.
Fatigue - Fatigue or tiredness
is defined as lack of strength or a state of reduced capacity for work following
a period of mental or physical activity. It can also be a symptom of many
different diseases and conditions. Causes of fatigue include lack of sleep,
excessive exercise, depression, stress, dehydration, jet lag, hormonal imbalance
(menopause and thyroid diseases), infections, underlying diseases (such as
cancer, lupus, tuberculosis, congestive heart failure), and side effects
of medical treatment (such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgeries,
and prescription / non-prescription medications). The lack of energy associated
with tiredness can interrupt daily activities and can lead to problems with
memory and concentration.
Most Common
Strength-Busters The following are the most
common factors that cause deterioration of your physical strength:
Aging -
Aging has been associated with the loss
of muscle mass, often referred to as Sarcopenia. This decrease in muscle
tissue begins around the age of 30, yet is dramatically observed around the
age of 50. This is due to the decrease in the production of anabolic hormones
such as testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1, which
impairs the capacity of skeletal muscles to incorporate amino acids and
synthesize proteins. In addition, an increase in the release of catabolic
agents, specifically interleukin-6, intensifies the rate of muscle wasting
among the elderly. Muscles become less dense, which makes the arms and legs
look thinner, and muscle tissues become less flexible, which results in
diminished muscle function. Even mild loss of muscle strength places increased
stress on certain joints like the knees, thus raises your risks of arthritis
or accidental falling. The types of muscle fibers are affected by aging as
well. The number of muscle fibers that contract faster (fast twitch muscles)
decrease much more than the number of muscle fibers that contract slower
(slow twitch muscles). Thus, muscles are not able to contract as quickly
in old age which affects even simple day-to-day activities.
Dehydration - Your body is
75% water. Water is found in your body's intracellular space (within the
cells of your body), intravascular space (blood vessels), and interstitial
space (spaces between cells). Our bodies lose water in three ways:
urinating and bowel movement, perspiring, and breathing. Dehydration takes
place when the amount of water leaving the body is greater than the amount
being taken in. It can be caused by diarrhea, vomiting, sweating, diabetes,
and burns. There is electrolyte abnormality in dehydration when important
chemicals like sodium and potassium are lost from the body. Abnormal electrolyte
levels manifest muscle weakness due to low potassium, heart rhythm disturbances
due to either low or high potassium, and seizures due to low
sodium.
Alcohol Abuse - Unlike other
food substance, alcohol does not undergo the normal digestive process. It
is not converted and transported to cells and tissues; rather it is hauled
directly to the bloodstream. About 20 percent of the alcohol is absorbed
directly into the blood through the stomach walls and 80 percent is absorbed
into the bloodstream through the small intestine. Alcohol reduces blood flow
to the muscles, which leads to muscle weakness and deterioration. Muscle
ache is a common symptom of excessive-drinking "hangovers".
Depression - Depression is
an emotional disorder that manifests many physical symptoms. Due to the symptoms
of depression such as fatigue, dizziness, and trouble sleeping, weakening
of the body follows. About 65% of patients report their depression is accompanied
by pains. These may include headaches, back pain, tender muscles, and sore
joints.
Hormonal Imbalance - The
thyroid is the gland responsible for production of hormones. It controls
your metabolism (the speed at which your body converts fuel into energy).
A low thyroid level (hypothyroidism) can cause fatigue, muscle weakness,
lethargy, weight gain, depression, memory problems, constipation, dry skin,
intolerance to cold, coarse and thinning hair, brittle nails, or a yellowish
tint to the skin. A high thyroid level (hyperthyroidism) can also cause fatigue,
weight loss, increased heart rate, intolerance to heat, sweating, irritability,
anxiety, muscle weakness, and thyroid enlargement.
Underlying Diseases -
Atherosclerosis or narrowing of the arteries may lead to muscle spasm and
cramps because adequate blood supply and nutrients are not able to be delivered
to the appropriate muscle. Cancer, systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis,
AIDS, anemia, scleroderma are some illnesses that also manifest muscle
weakness.
Western
Medicine Western Medicine relies on
aggressive and costly prescription drugs to deal with musculoskeletal problems.
These methods generally address only the symptoms and not the underlying
causes. As soon as you stop using the drugs, the problem returns! These
prescription drugs often result in unwanted and even dangerous side effects
including accelerated aging and increased risk of more serious diseases.
The options for drug treatment
are bewildering: Acetaminophen, Adapin, Ambien, Amitriptyline, Anafranil,
Aventyl, Baclofen, Botulinum toxin type A, Carbamazepine, Cyclobenzaprine,
Diazepam, Doxepin, Duloxetine, Elavil, Fluoxetine , Levodopa, Lorazepam,
Lunesta, Lyrica, Marplan, Milnacipran , Monoamine oxidase inhibitors, Nardil,
Norpramin, Pamelor, Parnate, Pertofrane, Pregabalin, Reserpine, Rozerem,
Sinequan, Sonata, Surmontil, Tofranil, Tramadol, Tramadol, and Vivactil.
Typically once drug treatment begins, it is recommended for life and usually
involves a series of medications.
The combined COMMON side
effects of these medications include abnormal skin sensations, severe allergic
reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest,
swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue), anxiety, blurred vision, breast
swelling, changes in sexual function, chills, constipation, dark urine or
pale stools, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, fatigue, forgetfulness,
frequent urination, gas, headache, heavy feeling, hyperactivity, inability
to urinate, increased sweating, lack of energy, lack of coordination,
lightheadedness when rising from a seated or lying position, muscle jerks,
nausea, nervousness, numbness or tingly feeling, sedation, sleep disturbance,
sleeplessness, tremors, trouble concentrating, unusual fatigue, upset stomach,
weakness, and weight loss or gain.
The combined SEVERE side
effects of these medications include agitation, chest pain, cold, clammy
skin, confusion, difficulty sleeping, easy bruising or bleeding, extreme
thirst with headache, nausea, vomiting, and weakness, fainting, fast or irregular
heartbeat, feelings of irritability or hostility, fever, hallucinations,
impotence, impulsive behavior or other unusual change in behavior, mental
or mood changes, nausea, neck stiffness, numbness of an arm or a leg, one-sided
weakness, panic attacks, pounding in the chest, restless muscle movements
in your eyes, tongue, jaw, or neck, seizures, sensitivity to light, severe
headache, severe high blood pressure, severe nervousness or anxiety, severe
restlessness, speech or vision problems, suicidal thoughts or behaviors,
sweating, tightness in the throat or chest, vomiting, widened pupils, worsening
feelings of depression, and yellowing of the eyes or skin.
Ayurvedic
Medicine
Ayurveda, the science of
life, prevention and longevity, is the oldest and most holistic and comprehensive
medical system available. Its fundamentals can be found in Hindu scriptures
called the Vedas - the ancient Indian books of wisdom written over 5,000
years ago. Ayurveda uses the inherent principles of nature to help
maintain health in a person by keeping the individual's body, mind, and spirit
in perfect equilibrium with nature.
India Herbs has a seasoned
group of Ayurvedic doctors specialized in Vajikarana, one of the eight major
specialties of Ayurveda. Vajikarana is "a process or a drug, which
makes a man physically as strong as an ox and able to undergo many hours
of physical rigors during battle." Vajikarana prescribes the therapeutic
use of various herbal and holistic medicines to enhance your physiological
capabilities and composition while strengthening the mind and overall
well-being. Sherpa Strength is a product of Vajikarana science.
India Herbs' Vajikarana doctors
combine a proprietary herbal formula based on centuries' old wisdom
with advice on diet, exercise, mental training, and relaxation to help
you reach your peak and overcome health concerns through safe, natural
means.
Recommendations You can optimize your long-term
musculoskeletal health by:
1) Reversing Damage - Years
of stressful living cause damage to your body. To help reverse this,
Sherpa Strength releases hundreds of
phytonutrientsthat increase
your strength and energy, enhance your muscle mass, and help you maintain
long-term fitness.
2) Getting Healthy Sleep
- Sleep is probably the most important tool in building muscle mass. After
a strenuous exercise, your muscles need recovery time. This takes place in
your sleep. During sleep, growth hormones are produced and protein synthesis
occurs to rebuild your broken down muscles. Without this, the time spent
in work-out is put to waste. The REM (rapid eye movement), the deepest phase
of sleep, is the stage where extensive repair is done to your body. During
this stage, your muscles are in a paralytic state that allows optimal
rejuvenation. 8 hours of sleep is recommended for both children and adult
daily.
3) Increasing Protein Intake
- The synthesis of muscle protein is essential to the body's ongoing growth,
repair, and maintenance. The human body synthesizes protein from diet. Carbs
serve mainly as energy for the body, while protein provides the necessary
amino acids to build and repair muscle. For muscle growth, carbohydrates
are not as essential as protein and fats. High quality protein, which the
body breaks down into amino acids, should be the center point of all your
meals. At least 1,000 milligrams of protein per pound of bodyweight is
recommended daily. Protein-rich foods include soy milk, egg, lean meat, fish,
tofu, grains, and other legumes.
4) Increasing Vitamin B12
Intake - Vitamin B12 is important for increasing energy as it stimulates
production of red blood cells as well as processes carbohydrates, proteins,
and fats. It aids the body in digestion and absorption of protein and carbs.
Good sources of Vitamin B12 include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, and
fortified cereals. At least 2.4 micrograms
of Vitamin B12 is recommended daily.
5) Increasing Essential Fatty
Acids (EFAs) Intake - Dietary fats play an essential role in hormone production,
which in turn is responsible for growth and strength increase. Fat is a
concentrated source of energy. EFAs are unsaturated fats that are necessary
for thousands of biological functions throughout the body. They aid in the
prevention of muscle breakdown and help to increase your HDL level (good
cholesterol). Sources of EFAs include fish, shellfish, soya oil, chia seeds,
pumpkin seeds, and leafy vegetables.
6) Increasing Water Intake
- Water is a miracle supplement. To utilize optimal physical strength, take
one8 ounces glass of water for
every 10 to 12.5 pounds of bodyweight per day. It will not only facilitate
natural detoxification but will improve your bodybuilding training results.
It will help your kidneys deal with the extra protein and circulate the nutrients
throughout your body. Water is the transportation system that delivers
great nutrition to the muscles.
7) Doing Compound Exercises
- Compound exercises are those which stimulate more than one major muscle
group at a time. They affect your entire skeletal system and trigger growth
throughout the body. The following are recommended exercises effective for
muscle growth and strength enhancement: Squats (Legs), Calf Raises (Lower
legs), Bench Press (Chest), Pull Ups (Back), Bench Dips (Arms), Bicep Curls
(Arms), Military Press (Shoulders), and Crunches (Abs). To ensure general
fitness, Cardiovascular exercises may be incorporated to your exercise
program. However, Strength training remains to be the key to muscle strength
and balance.
To have a well-structured
exercise program, you can follow the FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Type, Time)
Principle. The FITT Principle is applicable to individuals exercising at
low to moderate training levels and may be used to establish guidelines for
both cardiorespiratory and resistance training. Here's a recommended training
combination:
Cardiovascular
Exercise
Frequency - 3 to 5 times
per week
Intensity - Moderate to
moderately difficult activity
Time - 20 to 40 minutes per
session
Type - Rhythmic,
large-muscle-group activity that generates faster heartbeat, such as walking,
jogging, jumping rope, swimming, and dancing
Benefits - Reduces body fat,
lowers risks of heart diseases, increases HDL (High Density Lipoprotein)
levels also known as the "good" cholesterol, decreases clinical symptoms
of anxiety, tension, and depression, and enhances blood circulation and
detoxification
Strength
Training
Frequency - 2 to 3 times
per week
Intensity - Load or weight
= 60 to 75% of the maximum amount you can lift one time for a particular
type exercise
Time - 1 to 3 sets (8 to
15 reps per set) each of 6 to 10 exercises involving all of the major muscle
group areas: chest, back, shoulders, arms, low back, abdominals, hips/thighs,
and calves
Type - Resistance exercise
that works the major muscle groups, such as weight machines, free weights,
exercises using tubing, or exercises using your own body weight for resistance,
such as curl ups, pull ups, push ups, and squats
Benefits - Burns calories
to help you keep your weight down, increases bone density which lowers your
risk of Osteoporosis and broken bones, strengthens muscles which improves
your balance, and reduces your chances of joint injuries
8) Breathing Properly - Slow,
deep breathing is a powerful anti-stress technique. When you bring air down
into the lower portion of the lungs, where the oxygen exchange is most efficient,
heart rate slows, blood pressure decreases, muscles relax, anxiety eases
and the mind calms. Breath control can also help your exercises become more
rhythmic and regular.
