Holistic Ways To Slim Down
Fitness does not mean expensive gyms, Soulcycle classes, protein smoothies or granola bars.
- If we move beyond the hyped-up-but-without-substance fitness cultures of the U.S., we find that many eastern cultures like Japan have easier and cost-effective ways to attain holistic fitness.
- The focus is on prevention, not cure, with a balanced meal intake, daily brisk walking and other inexpensive ways for achieving a healthy and slim body.

A Half-Body Bath
The Japanese take a half-body bath for about 30 minutes, immersing the lower half of their bodies in warm(100 to 106 degrees Fahrenheit) water. This is a much more relaxing bath than the 3-minute shower most of us are used to.
The added benefits are:
- Speeding up the body’s metabolism.
- Improving skin.
- Reversing bloatedness.
It is a great way to detox the body, provided the excessive sweating is taken care of by drinking lots of fluids.

Eat Konjac(Yam Cake)
The Japanese do not eat rice/spaghetti but opt for konjac(yam cake) which has anti-ageing properties, controls blood sugar and keeps one slim and trim. Konjac is 97 percent water and 3 percent fibre, making it a much healthier alternative to, say, noodles.

Eat Your Veggies And Chew Them Well
The Japanese chew each bite 30 times. Most of us are glued to some screen while eating food, and gulp it down without chewing. This makes the stomach struggle with digesting the food and also gives time for saliva to break it down.
The Japanese also eat their veggies first, which is essentially eating a lot of fibre, helping in weight loss and sugar control.
