Revolutionary H-bath – Natural remedy for your healthier life

Many years ago, during my Ph.D. program at Osaka University Medical School, I first heard of the half-body-bath (h-bath). My first impression of the idea to “Put the lower half of the body in warm water until the whole body is warm” was that it was hilarious. How could you warm up your body, while your upper half-body is out of the tub?

I had completely forgotten about it until 2 years ago, I was reminded of the h-bath by a friend, did some investigation on it, and then started the h-bath by myself. I read books about the h-bath and watched TV programs produced in Korea and Japan, and then I learned in detail about the h-bath. The h-bath was started by Dr. Yoshiharu Shindo, Japan, and spread into Korea and China over the years.

After I started the h-bath, first I was surprised at the amount of sweat in only in 20 minutes by putting lower body in the tub. Secondly, I felt my whole body was still warm enough even long after the h-bath (it lasted about 2 hours). I then recommended it to my wife who was suffering from “cold hands and feet”. Guess what! She was able to get rid of “cold hands and feet”, and was able to have good night sleep. Now even my 10-year-old daughter is enjoying the h-bath every night.

What other health benefits did we get from the h-bath practice?
I lost 17 lbs in 8 months and also was relieved of shoulder pain I had for more than 15 years. Best of all, is the daily stress management by the h-bath. As mentioned previously, my wife was finally relieved of “cold hands and feet” (Raynaud’s disease), as well as the long-time-suffering of GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease), a.k.a. acid reflux. We both gained much more energy than we previously had. Of course, I also did a daily exercise of 30 minutes of walking combined with 30 minutes of the h-bath. I am sure that the h-bath had a synergic effect in my weight loss.

Since I am not an exercise orientated person, like many of you, I knew that both walking and the h-bath were programs I could continue. My daily walking program is not strenuous; rather it is a relaxing slow walk of 30 minutes around the work place or on the treadmill during a lunch break. At night, I did 30 minutes of h-bath everyday. That’s it! I feel much energized now.

I am a scientist, majored in the medical sciences and quite often I couldn’t control the stress from research, discussions, and presentations and so on, until I started the h-bath. I never knew that a bath could be fun. Different from ordinary whole-body-bath, your arms and hands are free, which means you can read a magazine, book etc and fully enjoy the half bath experience.

I want to share the experiences and science of the h-bath with you and recommend the h-bath for healthier you. Best of all, you don’t need to purchase any special equipment for the h-bath, but you should learn proper instructions to start.

What is the half-body-bath (h-bath)?

The main purpose of taking a bath is to sanitize the body. After a bath, we feel relax and relieved of day to day stress. This implies that a bath has a stress relief effect. Fatigue can be relieved when submerging your whole body into the tub-full of hot water. And a bubble bath or few drops of essence oils can also help you to be relaxed. You may have experienced falling asleep while taking a bath, right? Taking a bath is not only good for cleaning purposes, but also for mental health.

The history of submerging-body-bath is older than we think. According to the history records, there was a public bath in Rome, AD 300. The ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes shouted “Eureka, eureka!” when he found the principle of buoyancy (Archimedes’ principle), while he was taking a bath. For a long time, taking a bath meant whole-body-bath (w-bath), which is submerging a body up to the neck. In the early 1980’s, Dr. Yoshiharu Shindo, an ENT clinician, established a revolutionary bathing method, the half-body-bath (h-bath). Dr. Shindo mentions this in his first book, [Remedy for all diseases - controlling the thermodynamics of the body];

“I have been suffering from the “cold hands and feet” especially during the winter, so I used to wear long boots and thick cloths. And, finally came across the thought that what if I warm up the lower-half-body in the bath. It was cold winter, but I tried everyday. I thought that winter is the best time to test the effect of the h-bath, since it is the most severe season for the “cold hands and feet”. After many trial and errors, I concluded that maximum effect can be obtained by using warm water (100-104oF = 38-40oC), which is slightly higher than the body temperature. And keep the water level up to the 3-4 inches above the belly button, and then stay in the water for 20-30 minutes.

I even tried that when I got a common cold. After 20-30 minutes for the h-bath, I started to sweat a lot, and experienced a complete cure from fever & cold the next day. I was also relieved of the shoulder and upper arm pains. They were gone after few months of the h-bath. Of course, a common cold is not the problem anymore. I used take a short nap during the day to have enough energy for the rest of the day, but after continuing the h-bath, I realized I could keep up my activity without a nap. After I investigated the relationship between coldness and diseases, I am assured that the unbalance of the thermodynamics of the body is what causes many diseases. By fixing this heat unbalance by the h-bath, many diseases related to thermal unbalance can be cured naturally. This can be confirmed through the observation of my patients. In combination with conventional medical treatments, the h-bath enhances the cure index in the most of respiratory diseases including common cold”.

Dr. Shindo not only found that the h-bath primarily controlled his “cold hands and feet”, the so called ‘Raynaud’s disease’, but he realized that the h-bath helped to restore the human body naturally by equilibrating body heat.
Blood flow is a prime method of distributing heat evenly throughout the body. Poor blood flow can cause a reduction in the temperature of the extremities, and researchers theorized that poor blood circulation can cause cold hands and feet, subsequently causing other problems such as insomnia. Needless to say, the heart is responsible for the delivering of “warm blood” throughout the body. However, for some reason, it does not go flow through to the end of the body, like the hands and feet. If you take thermography of the whole body, you can see that the heat distribution of the body is not even. The upper body has higher temperature (98.6 oF = 37 oC around the heart), however lower body has comparatively low temperature; especially the temperature of the feet which is below 87.8 oF (31 oC).

Japan was built up from volcanic eruptions, and has many naturally formed hot springs all around the country. So over a long period of time, they developed unique bathing culture. Taking a bath is a daily part of a life in Japan. Paradoxically, on average 10,000 people die in the bath every year. The majority of people who die in the bath are elderly, mainly caused by cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction and cerebral hemorrhage etc. If so, is taking a bath deadly for elderly?

The answer is “it depends on the way of bathing”. A traditional w-bath can produce a lot of stress to the heart, mainly caused by water pressure. Since the whole body is warmed up from the w-bath at the same time the heart is experiencing stress, the heart beat rate and blood pressure rapidly increases and sometimes can cause cardiac or vascular problems. Besides, body heat can hardly be equilibrated since 85 – 90% of your body is submerged in the same temperature, and head is the only place to get the extreme blood stream and excess heat.

However, with an h-bath, the blood circulation increases gradually and reasonably with less stress to the heart and also does not provide the added stress of the water pressure. According to scientists, the h-bath does not significantly increase the blood pressure, shown by measuring cardiograph during the h-bath. The h-bath is comparatively safe, and is hugely effective for blood circulation. However, it doesn’t mean that the h-bath is “totally safe” for elderly and cardiovascular disease patients. Consult your doctor prior to start the h-bath.

The h-bath has spread all around Japan, Korea and China in a short time period. Millions of people continue the h-bath everyday and are accumulating their experiences and pre-scientific data. According to the h-bath people’s network, the h-bath is very effective in weight loss, improving skin health, helps to decrease the discomfort during a woman’s menstrual cycle, and lowers the blood pressure by enhancing the blood circulation in general.

There is no need to purchase expensive equipment for the h-bath. A bathtub and warm water are basically enough. A thermometer, reading materials and a rubber ducky are optional. The rest is continuing the h-bath with consistency and making this part of your daily activity.

3 Steps to Get Weight Loss Started

Go into your kitchen or a grocery store and pick up a 5 pound bag of sugar or flour. Carry it around. How’s that feel? You probably want to put it down, don’t you? Wouldn’t it be nice to let go of just five pounds of weight yourself? If you put your mind to it, you can achieve a five or more pound loss in a couple weeks (even quicker in the beginning of a weight loss plan).

We set such lofty goals:
>> I want to be in the best shape of my life.
>> I want to look like I’m a teenager (except I’m over 40).
>> I want to have washboard abs (I don’t exercise).

Yet when all is said and done our actions show we want to stay the same. We say we want change, yet we don’t want anything to be different while we pursue change. It’s no wonder people buy products promising things they can’t possibly deliver like instant success, or effortless change. We live in a “take a pill and everything will be better” world, yet history demonstrates it is by diligent effort that real change happens.

Start now by making a realistic plan for tomorrow, next week or even the first of January. Not a resolution list, but a realistic plan. Something you can and will achieve. Small mini-goals that will lead you toward the bigger goals as each day goes by. Follow this outline and you’ll achieve whatever goals you set.

Step 1 – Decide you want a change, and what that change will be (you want to lose 10 pounds in three months is a realistic goal).

Step 2 – Use EFT on the immediate feelings and fears that come up. That will help you deal with the inevitable “I don’t know what to do” and “this isn’t fun” feelings.

Step 3 — Ask yourself the following questions and answer honestly:

Can I do this?
Will it hurt me or others?
Can I do this, really?
Do I want to do this?
Will I be able to do this?
Am I competent enough to do this?
Is there anything I must have before I begin or can I just get started right now?

You’ll notice as you write your questions down, and perhaps repeat them softly to yourself, the answers come forth on their own. You’ll hear yourself say, “Of course I can do this. It’s just a matter of making better choices. I’m not talking about starving myself or deprivation any more. I’m not going to be concerned with calories but quality. This will be fun. I can’t wait to get started.”

What a difference five pounds can make. Work on those pounds one at a time, one day at a time and the bigger goals will also be met, in time.

Eating to Maintain Weight Loss

What To Eat To Maintain Weight Loss

Typical Weekend Eating Routine

Breakfast 7:00 AM (I tend to wake up hungry)

Snack 10:00 AM usually fruit, yogurt, bagel. I do make an effort to wait until 10:00 for my first snack, but if I’m really hungry, I’ll go ahead and eat as early as 9:00. I have cut back on the bagels recently. I noticed I was eating a giant bagel (over 300 calories) every day, and I was getting really sleepy soon after. I don’t know if there’s a connection, but when I notice excessive sleepiness or other odd symptoms, it just pays to check what you’ve been eating.

Lunch 11:30 – 1:30 PM (depends on whether I get hungry). Guess what? If I don’t get hungry until 3:00, then that’s when I eat. I like soups, tuna mixed with salsa, something wrapped in a tortilla or whatever I’ve brought. I go out to eat but not often.

I don’t usually want anything between my lunch and dinner, but if I get hungry, I’ll eat. This isn’t set in concrete, it’s just my usual routine.

Dinner anytime from 4:00 – 6:30 (same thing, I eat when I get hungry, so if I had more during the day, it’ll be longer before I’m hungry again.)

Evenings I hardly ever get hungry, so I rarely eat after dinner. During the week if I think I’m hungry and it’s after 9:00 PM I might drink some water, or have an apple or a pickle. That usually takes care of it. I’ll also sometimes just decide to ride it out (the hunger). It’s not going to kill me to feel a bit hungry now and then, and it’s probably not real hunger but emotional hunger anyway, so food isn’t really going to help.

I’ll also use EFT on the cravings (see articles about dealing with cravings in my articles section).

Yes, fruit is high in natural sugar. So what? Don’t get so hung up on what you’re eating or the individual nutrients that you end up skipping real food. Fruit is not a bad thing. If you are diabetic and must be very careful about your sugar levels then it helps to pair fruit with some protein to stabilize the glycemic load.

I broke the habit of eating most of my calories after 5:00 PM years ago. Now I eat all day, and hardly ever in the evening, even on weekends. It works for me, but I do make an effort to eat clean, meaning little processed or fast foods, because if I start popping tiny candy bars, or eat french fries a few days in a row I’ll start wanting them more often.

My theory is if the food value (nutritional value) is low (as it tends to be in processed foods) my body will still want nutrients, even though it may have enough calories. This can explain why one can eat a lot and still feel hungry, or be hungry soon after eating a big meal. Think about it. Did you eat good quality, nutritious food, or did you eat something batter fried, dipped in sugary sauce, or dripping with grease? Did it contain good quality nutrients, or just yummy taste?

If someone brings something incredibly special, but I’m full from breakfast, then I’ll take some on a plate and have it later when I’m hungry again. Hunger always returns.

If you think you are always hungry (and believe me, I’ve been there), then keep a food diary (see Food & Exercise Diary in the Tools section) for a few days to get a look at what you are eating. It may be there is a lack of nutrients, which explains why it’s possible to still be hungry even after eating a lot of food.

The most useful appetite suppressant is good food.

EFT Suggestions for Hunger or Cravings (Learn EFT–see resource box below):

“Even though I’m still hungry, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though I think I’m still hungry, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though I’m craving donuts, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though I want to eat everything I think I shouldn’t, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

Try EFT on direct cravings, when they strike. It only delays your eating a few moments, so try it, and see whether it reduces the desire, even a tiny bit. If it does, then eat slowly and enjoy what you’ve chosen. You may just discover you’re satisfied with less, but enjoying it more.

6 Steps to Handling Food Cravings

NLP Exercise: Creating a Well Formed Outcome to End Food Cravings

A client wrote, “Help me! I thought I was finally getting a handle on my weight issue but the sugar is killing me. I had an awful day. I won’t even tell you what I ate today because it is just so unbelievable. All I will say is that 90% of my food today consisted of sugar! I really, really need some help getting past these cravings. I am no doubt a sugar addict. If I could get past this there is no doubt that I will reach my goal.”

If you see a little of yourself in this message, you’re not alone. Many describe themselves as sugar addicts. They believe if it were only for that one thing, then they could reach their weight loss goals. If you believe only one thing stands in your way of losing weight, consider this: What if that one thing (an addiction to sugar for instance) were gone? Do you really believe, “If I could get past this, there is no doubt that I will reach my goal,” or is it an easy excuse to stay stuck? If I told you I could show you a way to stop craving sugar, would you want me to show you how?

Think about that for a moment. Close your eyes and really think it through. You’ve said if only you didn’t crave sugar, then you could lose weight, but is that really true for you? Ask yourself these questions:

Would you eat differently, and if so how?
Would you act differently, and if so how?
What else would change, and what would stay the same?
What would you lose?
What would you gain?Until you know what you want, know you can achieve it, and know what else will change (i.e. how your life may be different), you can’t discover any obstacles that first must be considered. For instance, you may want to stop eating anything after 7 PM yet your husband doesn’t come home from work until 8 and he wants you to join him for dinner. That’s an obstacle.

If you’ve got a habit of watching your favorite TV show with a bowl of ice cream, then breaking that habit is another obstacle.

If you don’t work out ways to overcome your obstacles perhaps through discussion and compromise with your husband, or habit breaking exercises for your ice cream habit, there’s bound to be a problem. Just saying you’re not going to do something any more rarely works. Instead determine what might stand in the way of achieving your goals, find a way around them, and you’re much more likely to actually achieve those goals once and for all.

The statement, “if this one thing were handled, then everything else would fall into place” is an “If Then” statement and gets people into trouble. They want a fairy godmother to make it all better. A strong belief that one single thing such as, “eating sugar is my problem,” sets you up to fail, especially if you really like eating sugary foods.

Getting a handle on your cravings is not an all-or-nothing proposition. You must leave room for occasional deviations. It’s not the occasional side trip that causes weight trouble, it’s the road we usually travel.

In NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) a good starting point is the exercise called Establishing a Well Formed Outcome. “Well formed” means it meets all criteria of a well thought-out end result.

NLP: How to Create a Well Formed Outcome & Get What You Want

Here are the steps to creating a well formed outcome:

1) State what you want (not what you do not want). “I want to weigh 135 pounds.”
2) Determine whether you can achieve it (do you believe it is possible?).
3) What resources do you have and what do you need (time, money, gear, clothes, equipment, coaching, whatever).
4) Check whether anyone else is involved and any potential obstacles that may come up regarding others. Think of everyone involved in your day-to-day life.
5) Picture yourself “as if” you’ve obtained what you say you want and see if that picture fits. Do you like what you see?
6) Put together a plan of action for the achievement of your outcome.

While it may seem like a lot of effort simply to decide what you really want, going through these steps at the beginning helps you find potential obstacles which previously stopped you from moving forward. For example, if you decide you want to join a gym and start exercising every day but you’ve forgotten you don’t even own a car and just lost your job, that exercise plan might not work out right now. If you did join a gym, you’d end up not going and then you’d think you’d failed, yet it was the plan that failed, not you. You didn’t think it through.

A better plan in this instance may be doing exercises at home, or within walking distance (or simply walking for exercise). Later, when you do have transportation, you can rethink the plan and perhaps join a gym then. There are always options.

It’s better to look at what you want from every angle, then put together a plan you know can and will work. Then when you know what you want, you’ll also know you can make it happen and begin by taking that first step toward making it a reality. “Achieving a Well Formed Outcome” is included in Session 6 of the 8-Week Ending Emotional Eating 8-Week Workshop. You can also find more information on this popular and well known NLP process by searching for “NLP Well Formed Outcome” in your favorite search engine.

7 Tips to Side Step Holiday Weight Gain

Perhaps the most important factor is how you think about yourself. Try not to think of yourself as a person who is trying to lose weight, who can’t have certain things or even someone trying to avoid junk. Think of yourself as a person who eats well and makes healthy choices. Remember you are honoring your body and all the amazing things it does. Eating well is how you’re helping it to run most efficiently. Successful people do what successful people do. When you walk in to work first thing in the morning and you’re faced with a plate of frosted candy-cane cookies, just recognize that healthy-eating people such as yourself just don’t eat that sort of thing for breakfast; it’s like putting low test fuel in a high test car.
It also helps to be ready with a few positive thoughts to call up in case someone brings that plate of cookies right over to you. Think of what motivates you to be eating better and getting healthy to begin with. You can write these out on index cards and keep your top inspirations with you for quick reference in moments of temptation. And if someone is particularly insistent about trying to ply you with sweets or goodies, be ready with a polite way to decline. You might want to try a few out in advance, just so you’re ready and skilled with the ‘no, thank you,’ defense. But don’t say, ‘I’m dieting.’ That’s only going to invoke sympathy and good-natured encouragement to live a little. Try saying I’m committed to eating healthy foods or no refined sugar for me thanks.
When you’re faced with that big sit-down meal, plan in advance to NOT get so full that you’re uncomfortable. Sure, the food is delicious, but you don’t need to overeat to enjoy. Chew slowly, savor each bite, and really appreciate those special dishes. It’s a much better way to enjoy them than doing the stuff-and-suffer. Start by taking small servings to begin with. If you’re truly still hungry, you can go back for more. Many of us were raised to ‘clean our plates,’ and we feel obligated to finish whatever is served, whether or not Mom is watching. If you’re full, stop.
It takes about 30 minutes for the hormones that signal you’re full to get the message from the stomach to the brain. Don’t keep eating just because your brain doesn’t know your tummy is done.
That ‘arm’s-reach’ defense is useful for snacks, as well. Look for a seat further away from the bowl of chips and don’t stand next to the tray of hors d’oeuvres when you’re chatting at the office party. If you’re somewhere that you might feel uneasy, consider wearing something with pockets so you can comfortably stand with your hands idle. Many people munch at parties just to be doing something, especially if they feel uneasy in conversation.
Some Time Tested Tips
• Offer to bring a dish, especially if you know the menu won’t have healthy options. Your diet-friendly contribution should be the largest portion on your own plate; just take small samples of other higher-fat, higher-calorie items offered.
• Use a smaller plate than usual. This allows you to fill your plate and creates the perception that you have more to eat than you really do. (This is a little easier if you are hosting the party!)
• Start by filling half your plate with low-fat vegetables or green salads with low-fat dressings. These are both healthy options and you’ll leave little room for the less nutritious options.
• Drink alcohol in moderation. Select light beers and use reduced-calorie mixers.
• Eat before the party. If you arrive ravenous, you are more likely to disregard your diet.
• Don’t be discouraged if you give in to temptation. Don’t abandon all the good work you have done so far. You can always get back to your healthy eating style for the next meal.

Green Tea: A Dieters Dream

There has been a great deal of research done in the last few years on the health benefits of green tea. Research has ranged from antioxident components to a dieters dream of raising metabolic rate.

Green tea contains several antioxidents such as vitamin E and C. One in particular, EGCG, is very powerful. While antioxidents are associated with free radical damage they have also been linked to weight loss.

Green tea contains a group of compounds called tannins which have a calming effect on the nerves. Keeping stress levels low is important in weight loss. If stress levels are allowed to rise for a long period of time the fat storage hormone cortisol is secreted and rapid weight gain could ensue.

Most important, green tea has the ability to boost your metabolism. Polyphenol compounds in green tea appear to accelerate calorie burning, including fat calories. It does so by regulating the breakdown of norepinephrine, a brain chemical that controls metabolism.

If you are on a fat loss program always choose beverages with no calories. Your best choices are green tea and water. Green tea will give you healthy antioxidents, calm your nerves, increase your metabolism and aid in weight loss on all fronts.

Get the Skinny on Cayenne

Cayenne is best known as a spice that is used to bring up the heat in spicy foods. As the popularity of herbal supplements grows, cayenne has been appearing more often in weight loss aids. Studies have shown it may help the body burn fat and reduce appetite.

The active compound in cayenne is a substance called capsaicin. It has long been know to relieve pain and itching when applied topically by disabling the pain neurotransmittors. It also promotes digestive and heart health and is high in antioxidents.

Cayenne is considered a thermogenic herb. This means it allows you to burn more calories from food, especially when eating a meal high in fat. This translates into an overall increase in metabolism which is essential to weightloss.

Use of cayenne has also been associated with a reduction in appetite. Scientists believe that it may elevate the levels of two hormones, epinephrine and norepinephrine, which make you less hungry.

Research has shown that cayenne increases blood circulation. It also elevates body temperature. These two elements combined may increase the bodies ability to burn fat.

Cayenne has been shown to be a healthy addition to anyone’s diet and nutritional plan. Spice up your palate, rev up your metabolism, throw in a little appetite supressant action and cayenne might be just what you need to jump start your weight loss program.

Benefits of a raw food diet

Nowadays, obesity represents a major problem affecting people all over the world. It is not an important issue only in what the exterior aspect is concerned, as we may think. Obesity actually represents a significant mortality factor, a very serious health problem, provoking many diseases and medical complications like diabetes or heart attacks. One of the main causes of excessive eating is represented by the existence of fast foods. The food offered to us is extremely inviting and tasty, having a flavor which we do not find anywhere else. But the ingredients used are not at all fresh, as they seem. Those ingredients are processed in many ways, being dehydrated and frozen. In time, the substances added in order to maintain the specific delicious taste of the food may affect our body, conducting to obesity. Some are even considered to be cancerous.

Many women and men just want to lose weight in order to look better and feel more attractive. So obesity and its health damaging consequences don’t make the single reason why people want to get thinner. Especially during the holidays, we gain extra pounds, a fact which is unhealthy on the one hand, and on the other hand, it brings about self-reproach related to our personal image. When it comes to this aspect, some people choose sports: they begin practicing fitness programs, jogging and other such activities. But even a larger number consider diets to be more effective and easier to practice.

There are numerous types of diets to choose from: low calorie diets, adequate protein diets, fixed menu diets, green tea diets and many others. We want to offer you something different and very efficient at the same time. It is called a raw food diet! To say it briefly, the raw food diet is about consuming unprocessed and organic food. Some of the frequently recommended products are raw vegetables and fruits, raw eggs, raw honey, raw meet, raw grains, raw nuts etc. To what concerns organic food, we have a wide range of products to offer, including organic snacks, organic seeds, condiments, and also sweets: organic cakes, pies, chocolate…

A raw food diet is one of the best choices you could ever make. Not only does it help you lose weight and eat healthy, by eliminating toxins, but it also entails many other positive effects. Actually, a raw food diet has more benefits than you could have imagined. We are going to describe some of these benefits. If you decided to begin a raw food diet, you will be able to observe many changes in your body and in your life, too. In the first place, you are going to get rid of the extra pounds, because a raw food diet eliminates fats. You are also going to feel more energetic, have a good digestion, and see signs of improvement of your health. It is proved that following a raw food diet also prevents sickness.

One of the most widely appreciated raw products is the raw honey. Generally, honey is valued and used for being a natural and very efficacious remedy for many health problems: it is an antiseptic, it has anti-inflammatory effects, it moisturizes the skin, it is an anti-viral substance and it contains antioxidants. By raw honey we mean a totally unprocessed honey, but which still preserves all the qualities honey is known for.
