This type of yoga is not permissible, as its origin lies in the Hindu worship of the sun god.

No, im talking about this specific type of yoga you mentioned.

Im sure there are other types of yoga which are not rooted in shirk, which may make them permissible. Allahu Alam.

Definitely shirk roots.

You'll Be Surprised How Many Donuts Worth Of Sugar Are In These 10 Everyday Foods

Some foods contain a shocking amount of sugar.
To visualize this, we compared the amount of sugar in foods that are not traditionally thought of as dessert items, like yogurt and apple sauce, to the amount of sugar in a chocolate glazed donut - about 13 grams.

Nutritionists recommend limiting�added sugar�to 6 teaspoons per day for women and 9 teaspoons per day for men. For reference, 4 grams of sugar equals one teaspoon of granulated sugar.
Added sugar only includes things like cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup that aren't found naturally in ingredients like fruit and milk.�Keep in mind that�naturally-occurring sugars and added sugar are combined on nutrition labels as "total sugar."�

Fruit-flavored yogurt = 2 chocolate glazed donuts.

There are 26 grams of sugar in a typical 6-ounce container of fruit-flavored yogurt (more than half is added sugar). That's equivalent to around 6.5 teaspoons of sugar.

Clif bar= 1.8 chocolate glazed donuts

There are�23 grams of sugar in one chocolate-chip flavored Clif bar. That's equivalent to 5.75 teaspoons of sugar.�

Froot Loops = 1.07 donuts

There are 14 grams of sugar in one serving of Kellog's Froot Loops (with fruity-shaped marshmallows) cereal. That's equivalent 3.5 teaspoons of sugar.�

Starbucks Caffe Latte = 1.3 chocolate glazed donuts

There are 17 grams of sugar in a 16 oz (grande) Caffe Latte from Starbucks. That's equivalent to 4.25 teaspoons of sugar.

Orange juice = 1.5 chocolate glazed donuts

One cup of orange juice typically contains 20 grams of sugar. That's equivalent to 5 teaspoons of sugar.

Apple sauce = 1.2 chocolate glazed donuts

There are 16 grams of sugar in one cup of original Motts apple sauce. That's equivalent to 4 teaspoons of sugar.

Tomato soup = 2.5 chocolate glazed donuts

There are 15 grams of sugar in a serving size of Heinz classic tomato soup. That's equivalent to 3.75 teaspoons of sugar.

Coca-Cola = 3 chocolate glazed donuts

There are 39 grams of sugar in one 12-oz can of coke. That's equivalent to 9.75 teaspoons of sugar.

Dried cranberries = 2.6 chocolate-glazed donuts

There are 34 grams of sugar in one pouch (1.75 oz) of Craisins. That's equivalent to 8.5 teaspoons of sugar.

Bluberry muffin = 2.2 chocolate glazed donuts

There are 29 grams of sugar in a blueberry muffin from Starbucks.�

Pasta sauce = 1.1 chocolate glazed donuts

There are 14.5 grams of sugar in one cup of marinara pasta sauce. That's equivalent to 3.6 teaspoons of sugar.

Nutella = 1.6 chocolate glazed donuts

There are 21 grams of sugar in two tablespoons of Nutella spread. That's equivalent to 5.25 grams of sugar.

Yogurt, and salad, and fruit juice. Oh My! Shocking foods that contain far more sugar than a Krispy Kreme doughnut.

Packaged vegetable juice, yogurt and Vitamin Water contain up to five times as much sugar as a Krispy Kreme doughnut, an eye-opening new study has revealed.

Health conscious consumers are likely to shun the sweet treats but Credit Suisse discovered some seemingly healthier options are actually more sugar-laden than the deep fried rings.

Of a list of 15 foods-some healthier than others- the delicious doughnut, which contains 10 grams of sugar, is actually the least sweet. Above it are some surprising products with shocking amounts of sugar.�

Sweet: Golden brown and irresistible Krispy Kreme doughnuts are a sugary treat probably best eaten in moderation. But other products that seem like healthy alternatives can actually contain far more sugar. Near the top is a salad from California Pizza Kitchen that contains a hard to swallow 45 grams-or four and a half doughnuts worth-of sugar.

Odwalla Superfood juice has even more-just 12 ounces of the fruit-based smoothie contains 50 grams of sugar. That is the equivalent of a shocking five Krispy Kremes.

Even a bottle of Vitamin Water, despite its healthy-sounding name, contains 33 grams of sugar per 20 ounce bottle, or 3.3 Krispy Kremes.

Other beverages on the list include 8oz of Tropicana orange juice, which clocks in at over twice the sugar of a Krispy Kreme with 22 grams.

Healthy? Yogurt has become a go to health snack, but be warned that a 6 ounce Yoplait Original--like many naturally sweetened yogurts--contains over twice the sugar of a Krispy Kreme

SWEET STAKES: KRISPY KREMES ARE SURPRISINGLY LESS SUGARY THAN MANY 'HEALTHIER' FOODS

1. Luna Bar Berry Almond = 1.1 Krispy Kremes
2. Grande Starbucks Latte = 1.7 Krispy Kremes
3. Subway 6" Sweet Onion Teriyaki Chicken Sub = 1.7 Krispy Kremes
4. 8oz Tropicana 100% Orange Juice = 2.2 Krispy Kremes
5. Yoplait Original Yogurt = 2.7 Krisy Kremes
6. 20oz Vitamin Water = 3.3 Krispy Kremes
7. Sprinkles Red Velvet Cupcake = 4.5 Krispy Kremes
8. California Pizza Kitchen Thai Chicken Salad = 4.5 Krispy Kremes
9. Odwalla Super Food 12oz Smoothie = 5 Krispy Kremes

Also seemingly healthy but still full of sugar are fruity yogurts like Yoplait Original, which contains 27 grams per 6 ounces. That equates to 2.7 of the popular doughnuts.

The Credit Suisse study focused on sweeteners, which doctors recommend should always be used in moderation, and not at other nutritional benefits.

A doughnut, of course, lacks some of the vitamins and minerals present in fruit juices.

The study also notes:

'While medical research is yet to prove conclusively that sugar is the leading cause of obesity, diabetes type II and metabolic syndrome, the balance of recent medical research studies are coalescing around this conclusion.'

Not my salad! Even salad can have sugar. Many dinner salad dressing pack a sweet punch and with 45 grams of sugar, the California Pizza Kitchen Thai Crunchy salad is no exception.

Smoothies are BAD for you: Fruit juices are packed with sugar and we would be better off having vegetable drinks, say scientists

By Tom Kelly
13:29 07 Sep 2013, updated 02:01 09 Sep 2013

But no - now it seems that even pulped fruit is bad for us.

Despite being seen as healthy alternatives to fizzy drinks and counting towards your five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, smoothies and fruit juice are actually the 'new danger' in the fight against obesity, according to nutritionists.

Defence: Innocent, owned by Coca Cola, claims smoothies contain the same amount of sugar as whole fruit
They said smoothies can contain as much sugar as a large Coke.

Juicing removes fibre and some of the nutrients that would be found in a fruit or vegetable. The natural fruit sugars in smoothies can also add hundreds of extra calories to your daily intake.

Professor Barry Popkin said alerting people to the potential risks of smoothies and fruit juices was the 'next step in the battle' against obesity. He added: 'In every country they've been replacing soft drinks with fruit juice and smoothies as the new healthy beverage.'

Danger: Smoothies and juices contain deceptively high amounts of sugar
He said it was far healthier to eat fruit or drink vegetable juice.

Most people feel full after eating two oranges. However, smoothies contain the sugar of up to six oranges but are less filling than eating the fruit, making you more likely to want to eat afterwards.

This undermines the perceived benefits of having a smoothie, said Professor Popkin, of the University of North Carolina. He added: 'Pulped-up smoothies do nothing good for us, but give us the same amount of sugar as four to six oranges or a large Coke. It is deceiving.'

Firms such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi have been buying juice and smoothie rivals to cash in on their healthy reputation. Coca-Cola owns Innocent, which claims to be Europe's top smoothie brand.

A recent study found that people who ate whole fruit were less likely to get obesity-related type 2 diabetes, while those who drank fruit juice were at increased risk.

Swapping fruit juice for fruit three times a week cuts the risk of type 2 diabetes by 7 per cent.

Britons consume 3,144 calories a week from non-alcoholic drinks, a study by the University of Glasgow found last year. This adds 450 calories a day to our diets.

Innocent said people who drank juice drinks were less likely to� be obese.

It added: 'Smoothies are made entirely from fruit and therefore contain the same amount of sugars that you would find in an equivalent amount of fruit.'

ALMONDS

Quote:

When cravings attack, it can be tempting to reach for something greasy or sweet, but neither is friendly to the waistline. For a healthy alternative, grab some almonds to help satisfy hunger and boost energy between meals. High in protein and fiber, these little nuts are this week's superfood.

Almond Joy - Why It's Super

Almonds
So why almonds over any other nut? Almonds are actually the most nutritionally dense nut, meaning they offer the highest concentration of overall nutrients per calorie and per ounce. A one-ounce serving contains 161 calories, nearly 13 grams of unsaturated fat and 3.4 grams of fiber (that's about 14% of the daily recommended value). What's more, almonds are a good source of potassium, calcium, vitamin E, magnesium, phosphorous, and iron. Now that's something to go nuts over!
Studies show almonds could also have some major benefits for the heart. One study suggests eating between 1 and 6 ounces of almonds per day can reduce total cholesterol and may contribute to lowering "bad" cholesterol (LDL), though the study's authors believed more conclusive evidence was needed.

Can anyone verify this?

Quote:

Diet fizzy drinks can lead to over-consumption of other foods and it’s not better for you at all. “It tastes sweet, so our body prepares for the sugar it’s anticipating by beginning to spike blood sugar levels,” Moss says. “However, when ‘real’ sugar isn’t delivered, the body is still left craving the sugar it was originally promised. And that creates addictive cycles.” The result is eating more and weight gain, according to studies.

When I had gestational diabetes, I was advised to stay away from diet drinks and artificial sugars as they didn't actually benefit sugar levels in any way, since then I have noticed many health articles stating the same.

However I have heard of ppl losing weight by swapping to diet drinks from high sugared drinks.

I wrote a dissertation on the effects of sugar intake on weight gain. I would definitely say the best advice would be to stay away from processed foods high in sugar. In terms of liquids try stick to water, you could also drink tea but don't add much sugar.

Sugar is hidden in a lot of foods, therefore you may be consuming more sugar than you think. In this regard, when looking at packaged foods make sure there is no more than 4.9 grams of sugar per 100g or per 100 ml if liquids. For example, most cereals contain very high amounts of sugar. I have found weetabix and porridge to be good in terms of cereals.

Implement this advice and you will see a huge difference inshaallah

Calories Burned in Prayer

www.healthline.com/health/fitness-exercise/calories-burne...

Last week at the sports medicine conference, I talked to a researcher from Kuwait University. Dr. Jasem Ramadan presented a lovely little study called Bioenergetics of Islamic Prayers, measuring the amount of oxygen and calories the physical movements of the prayers burned.

Five standard prayers (Salat) are mandatory every day for every adult male and female Muslim. Each prayer has a continuous sequence of body movements (Rakkas) consisting of standing, bowing, kneeling and sitting. Each Rakka lasts between 3 and 6 minutes. Dr. Ramadan looked at the energy cost of two and four Rakka prayers in thirty-two male and female adults. He found that Salats have a positive effect on metabolic function. For an 80 kg person, energy cost of daily prayers was about 80 calories a day, and could be considered a form of physical activity that enhances fitness.

Dr. Ramadan told me, "The prayers have been done for thousands of years and no one thinks about it as physical exercise." I told him I think that often. I told him that Russian Orthodox prayer was pretty physical. A liturgy lasts hours, done standing and continuously crossing yourself from the floor in a squat to high overhead. Everyone including the oldest people do this, up and down, and up and down, and up and down, stretching and squatting, reaching and bending. I always thought it was group community health activity, probably found long ago to be protective against many ailments (and attributed divinely). The original yogas were the same, reaching upward to exalt the heavens, bowing, kneeling, prostrating, rising, over and over.

I told Dr. Ramadan that many Westerners aren't comfortably able to do the kneeling Rakka shown in Healthy Toe Stretches or rise to a stand without using their hands, as in the post Quick and Easy Strength and Balance Exercise, not only the elderly, but the rest of the population too.

He seemed surprised and interested. I told him I believed that this lack of basic human movement for real daily life was a major contributor to the epidemic numbers of people who are too weak and unstable to get up unassisted, to walk without canes and walkers, have trouble taking stairs, have poor balance, and for much knee and hip pain and degeneration. Dr. Ramadan said that elders in his country do not suffer knee and hip arthritis in high numbers, and can easily rise from the floor into their old age. I told him that many Westerners are familiar with a device that is worn, with a button to press for help if they cannot get up from the floor or chair. At this point, he was sure I was kidding.

If you cannot get up from the floor or low chair easily without using your hands, you likely have dangerously decreased leg strength and balance. Use good bending to strengthen your legs and knees many times a day and improve your fitness, explained in the post How Often Should You Be Healthy? Use healthy movement every day to sit, rise, bend right, clean, garden, give thanks, stretch, take stairs, and play to get healthy functional exercise, and prevent common joint pain. That is fitness as a lifestyle.
