Follow the Yoga way to be healthy – it helps weight loss and reduces blood pressure

#yogaforall The UN has announced June 21st as the International Yoga Day – it was a major victory for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi because 175 out of 193 members of the UN accepted the proposal – the acceptance was given by countries like the US and Syria, Russia and Britain, and China and the Philippines.
This acceptance gave recognition to Yoga which is an ancient Indian science's "holistic approach to health and well-being" - #yogaforall is the message.
Research carried out by Myriam Hunink, of Erasmus University in the Netherlands and Harvard University in the US has concluded that yoga was as good as conventional physical activity in improving heart health. Yoga could provide the same benefits in risk factor reduction as traditional physical activity such as cycling or brisk walking.
In the opinion of the NHS, no one is too old to take up yoga because yoga classes are there for every age group and those who find it difficult to sit down on the floor can do chair-based yoga.
Maureen Talbot, of the British Heart Foundation, adds - any physical activity that can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and #hearthealth and developing these should be encouraged, and the benefits of yoga on emotional health are well established.

Weight loss – cultivate the honey habit

#eathealthy Weight is a matter of grave concern for all of us – where it is weight gain or loss, it is a reason for worry. Volumes have been written on the subjects and thousands of minutes have been devoted to talk shows on TV but, the problem remains.
The latest addition to the weight loss theory is honey - go the honey way.
It has been reported that founder of the honey diet, Mike McInnes, has discovered that athletes who ate foods rich in fructose such as honey burnt a lot more fats and had increased stamina levels as well.
Honey, apparently, acts as a fuel to make the liver produce glucose which, in turn, keeps the brain sugar levels high and forces it to release fat burning hormones.
In order to reap benefits from this unique honey diet, all you have to do is to replace your sugar intake with honey al through the day. Moreover, you should consume at least three spoonful of honey with hot water every night before bed. When this is combined this with an exercise regime (try and exercise three times a week), there is bound to be a noticeable reduction in your weight.
The study has revealed that the mechanism in the brain that caused the sugar craving could be totally eliminated with this honey routine.
The message is clear and loud - replace all sugar with honey, eliminate sugar from your diet, give up on artificial sweeteners. Cultivate the habit of using honey in your tea, coffee and cereal instead of refined sugar. And – do not use sugar even for cooking.
