Physical Activity Level (PAL) Test and Ayurveda for Crab Allergies

Physical Activity Level (PAL) Test

Introduction to the Pal Test

The PAL test is also known as the Physical Activity Level test. This is a measure of individual physical activity level; testing. The test is performed on the person to evaluate his total energy expenditure daily. The daily energy expenditure can also be defined as the amount of energy that the body needs for daily functions.

Physical Activity Level (PAL) Test

The PAL test is typically done to evaluate the daily energy of the person (that includes- diet and weight management. The calculation involves dividing the basal metabolic rate by the total energy expenditure of the particular person, (that is BMR/energy expenditure per day is equal to the PAL score). Talking about the value or levels of PAL scores can vary from

  • Less than one for people who follow a sedentary lifestyle.
  • PAL score of two for people performing high energy-consuming daily activities.
  • PAL score above two

The above two is found rarely but is an alarming condition that indicates the usage of excess energy by the person daily that can be harmful if the person is not taking adequate amounts of calories, minerals, and other essential nutrients to match the levels of high energy expenditure. We will be discussing its alarming results further in this article. Thus, a proper evaluation can be done and estimated to maintain adequate energy and maintain the proper general health of the particular person.

Significance of the PAL test

The PAL test provides essential information regarding the daily energy expenditure of the person to meet the daily energy requirement by him. The detailed significance of the PAL test provides information regarding various health-related purposes such as

Appropriate Dietary Plans

Knowing the person’s PAL score, assure their professionals about the requirement of diet and dietary contents that can help in planning the exact dietary content addition and avoidance to meet the recommended needs for that particular person.

Achieving Fitness

The physical activity and exercise hours can be managed through PAL score evaluation. The person can be suggested or recommended to do certain necessary physical activities to burn excess calories to achieve fitness goals.

Managing Weight

The PAL score can help you to estimate the factors and needs for weight management. According to the score, the professional can suggest adding calories to gain weight or avoid certain food items that have excess calories, that are putting weight on.

Prevention and Management of Diseases and Disorders

Evaluating and understanding the PAL score of a patient suffering from disorders such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and other disorders can help the health professional to manage the adverse symptoms by managing energy requirements and expenditure daily.

Thus the PAL score can be used to help with appropriate diet plans, managing weight, achieving fitness planning, and prevention of diseases and disorders.

The High Levels of PAL Test Are Alarming

The high levels of PAL score refer to a score of two and most probably above two. These High levels of the PAL test as explained earlier could be alarming and can show negative results.

These high levels (of the PAL test) show that the person is engaged in high physical activities throughout the day, which can show outcomes of high energy expenditure, and if this high energy expenditure (through physical activities) is not accompanied by appropriate and adequate calories, essential nutrients, and minerals intake, it could show alarming results such as energy imbalance in the body and disturbed weigh management. These alarming signs can prove to be fatal in managing many disorders and achieving fitness.

Also, daily excessive physical activity can cause injury in the body areas along with muscular problems. Plus, a certain amount of nutrients are required to perform daily physical activities, which must be taken every day. Lacking in intake of the required calories and diet could lead to many malnutritional disorders.

But, we must also know that a high PAL score not only indicates high energy expenditure in each individual but can also occur as a result of certain medical conditions such as- hyperthyroidism (a common abnormality of the thyroid gland that can show a high PAL score, lead to nutrients deficiency, weight loss, increased metabolism).

Thus, high levels of PAL tests can be alarming due to various reasons mentioned above and should be carefully evaluated to correct the exact cause of the high score.

In the text below, we shall discuss Syndrome X (Metabolic Syndrome) in detail and its management in the contemporary system of medicine and in the traditional system of medicine as well. Let’s discuss!!

Introduction

Syndrome X is a bunch of health conditions related to resistance to insulin that include fat accumulation in the body, obesity, dyslipidemia and hypertension. In other words, it can be said that it is a cluster of conditions that makes a person vulnerable to diabetes and heart disease.

Ayurvedic Aspect and Management of Syndrome X

Ayurveda, the traditional system of Indian medicine, has been serving mankind till date. Ayurveda is a natural science that manages the conditions purely on the herbal and mineral formulations. And it has marvellous results. It manages the dosha imbalance that is the main cause of diseases. There are various causes of development of a condition which includes sroto dushti, dosha imbalance, agnimandya etc. Metabolic Syndrome is related to sroto dushti. In every condition with the faulty dietary habits the doshas get vitiated mainly the kapha dosha and the ama formation leads to the clogging of the microchannels which is regarded as sroto dushti.

Vata dosha is responsible for the movements in the body as the sroto dushti occurs or the blockage of the microchannels occurs the movement of the vata gets hampered which gives the sign of kapha avaran. So the correlation of the metabolic syndrome can be well established with the sroto dushti by the kapha dosha. Ayurvedic management depends on the cleansing or unclogging or unblocking of the microchannels from the ama and vikrit kapha which has hampered the vata movements. So here we require the medicines that remove the ama and excessive kapha from the body that eventually will result in clear microchannels. Medicines such as arogyavardhini vati, chyawanprash, sanjivani vati etc are really helpful in metabolic syndrome.

Guggulu (Comminphora mukul), shilajit (asphaltum), vacha (Acorus calamus), neem (Azadirachta indica), amla (Embellica officinale) and various other herbs are effective in removing the sroto dushti  y cleansing the microchannels. Thus this all will help in Metabolic syndrome to the maximum.
