Q&A: How to Keep Weight Off?
Dr.
Sanjay Mohan Ram, ND, BSc (Hon.)
Q: Christmas is over and I have put more weight on than I thought.
Is it possible to lose weight and keep it off? How can Naturopathic
Medicine help me?
A: Whether you are carrying extra pounds because obesity runs in your
family or because you have learned unhealthy eating and exercise habits,
it is difficult to lose weight and maintain the weight loss in our high-stress,
fast-food culture. More than 60% of Canadians are overweight or obese
and are, therefore, at risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis,
high cholesterol levels diabetes, psychological problems, and certain types
of cancer. It is possible to lose weight and keep it off by eating a well-balanced,
lower-calorie diet, exercising regularly and supplementing with
proper Naturopathic supplements to boost your metabolism. We also use
Contact Regulation Thermography to find other imbalances in the body
that could affect weight loss. Even if you don't lose as many pounds as you
would like, it is important to remember that your are improving your health.
Commitment to a new, healthy lifestyle is the key to success. To find out how
to lose weight and keep it off, please feel free to contact us.

Intravenous Therapy, or IV therapy, is a painless procedure

minerals (Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, magnesium,
calcium, etc.) through the vein. The intravenous formula
can help increase nutrient levels in the blood more so
than taking regular oral vitamins. This form of therapy

Cherry of a Deal
Dr. Sanjay Mohan Ram, ND, BSc (Hon.)
Grab a handful of ripe, sweet cherries for a healthy
dose of a natural inflammation fighter.
Sweet cherries are rich in anthocyanins, compounds
that occur naturally in the fruit and appear to inhibit
enzymes involved in inflammation. Sweet cherries
are also rich in vitamin C, a nutrient linked to
reduced blood levels of inflammatory markers.
More and more studies link inflammatory processes to a host of diseases,
including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis. In addition to
cherries, other gruits that provide inflammation-fighting anthocyanins
include strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and grapes. Other nutrients
that may possess anti-inflammatory properties include flavonols in dark
unsweetened organic chocolate, apples, and tea; and omega-3 fatty acids
in wild salmon, fish oil, flaxseed and walnuts.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask us. We are more
than happy to assist you.
Benefits of Dark Chocolate
Panacea Center
Chocolate originates from the seed of the cacao
tree, a plant containing similar benefits as green
leafy vegetables. Dark chocolate has a high cocoa
content (anything over 65% cocoa) which makes
it a great source of flavonoids and antioxidant
properties. Antioxidants help protect the body from
aging, which can cause damage that leads to heart
disease. Dark chocolate contains an abundance of antioxidants - nearly 8
times that found in strawberries.
What other health benefits does dark chocolate provide aside from being
good for the heart? Well, it helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol,
stimulates endorphins which make us feel good, and contains the
neurotransmitter serotonin, which acts as an anti-depressant. Studies show
that regularly eating approximately 100 grams, or 3.5 ounces, of dark
chocolate a day can provide health benefits. In moderation, chocolate can
be good for your health!

Did you know?
Some research shows that washing down your chocolate with a glass of milk could prevent antioxidants from being absorbed or used by your own body.
