World vegan day


PRESERVING HEALTH THROUGH A VEGAN DIET

       Do it not because someone is asking you to do it or someone else is doing it. Do it because you have tried it first hand and found it worth continuing. – Anonymous

Who are vegans? Vegans are those who eat no meat, fish, poultry, eggs, or dairy products.

       Veganism is becoming popular by the day not just because of its cult status but because of the amplitude of health benefits it brings along for those who follow it.

       Anyone with a rational line of thinking will ask questions such as why should one opt for vegan diet? Is it complete? Does it have all the nutrients in the required quantity that humans need to grow and to sustain good health? Is it visually appealing and tasty?

       To begin with, what remains after all the meat, fish, eggs, poultry and dairy products are removed from the platter?

       The answer is that, there is ample available in the vegetable kingdom that can satisfy our need for nutrition, desire for a good taste and visual appeal.

What does a vegan platter contain?

Yoga if you have no time



No matter where you find yourself on your fitness journey (including not being on that journey whatsoever) there is one thing we all have one thing in common: the need to stretch. But some days, it’s just not possible to put in a full hour of yoga. But most days will allow for this 10-to-15-minute sequence that stretches the back, hamstrings, and hips—the key problem areas for many people.

Home practise is hard but there are many reasons why you should make an attempt:

1.Helps Stiffness and Sore Muscles

2. Increases Range of Motion

3. Relieves Stress

The bottom line is this: maintaining flexibility is the key to feeling good, preventing injury, moving well and continuing to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle well into your second half of life. And while you probably know that yoga provides the flexibility benefits that everyone desires, you may not have the time or the desire to get into a regular yoga practise. But truthfully, if you only do a handful of poses each day, you’ll start to see the difference in how your body looks and feels.
