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.

Research shows that drinking out of cans is harmful

#eathealthy A research was conducted by South Korea on 60 adults of over 60-years-of age to find out the effect of longtime drinking directly from cans. Members of the group were given the drinks of soy milk in cans and in glass bottles. Subsequent urine tests revealed that those who drank from cans saw BPA levels up to 1,600% higher than those who drank from bottles. It seems that cans and plastic bottles are lined with a controversial chemical called BPA, and while the CDC indicates that the effects are unclear, the research in South Korea on chronic exposure has linked it to high blood pressure and heart rate issues. In fact, BPA and blood pressure rose significantly in can-drinkers within a matter of a few hours indicating the adverse effects. Hence, it is advisable that people should think twice before drinking regularly from cans or plastic bottles, considering the findings related to #HeartHealth. As has been noted, a 5 mm Hg increase in systolic blood pressure by drinking two canned beverages may cause clinically significant problems, particularly in patients with heart disease or hypertension.
