PGI study says a properly chewed and balanced meal can bring a glow on face and reduce weight
You don’t need to waste a fortune on cosmetics, lotions, potions and beauty treatments at parlors for a lustrous, glowing and fair skin texture. According to a PGI study, all you require to do is consume the right food and with complete relaxation. This will as well salt away your trip to the ‘slimming clubs & centers’ as weight loss, too, is a element of the package.
The study by Dr. Yash Paul, head of the cardiology department at the PGI, says a balanced food eaten extremely leisurely, where a huge chunk of time is spent on chewing the food accurately, can in reality get a glow on the face, apart from helping in a noteworthy weight loss.
Calling it the “Yash India technique”, Dr. Paul says the discoveries are a part of his five-year study of over 1,000 patients of coronary heart diseases.
The research has been presented with a copyright by the Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD). Dr. Paul states that an international patent to the discoveries is on its way.
According to the practice, one should take 15 to 50 minutes to eat one meal, inclusive with breads, cereals, cooked vegetables and salads, with at least 10 minutes devoted to eating just half a chapati.
The idea is to spend excessive time on chewing and cutting the food size to bare minimum, to make sure there is no overeating, says Dr. Paul.
The doctor thinks that if 15 to 20 minutes are spent on eating one chapati, the satiety levels will be attained even with a reduced meal size. The method, he says, works on the theory of eating with “brain signals” where the timings of the signals are sent and received by the satiety and hunger centers of the brain without any external medication.
“If the eating time is controlled, the satiety centre suppresses the hunger centre in the brain that gives satiety,” remarks the study.
Explaining how fairness and skin texture are connected to the time taken in eating a meal, Dr. Yash Paul says: “This method of eating results in improved control of Alpha Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone and Malonyl COA expression, thus dropping the stress hormones in the body, which in turn leads lesser darkening or decreased melanin deposition in the body.”
The patients who followed the dietary changes got a clearer and fairer complexion in two to three months, he says.
