Yoga teaches people what to eat, how to eat, a lot of poses (from easy ones to hard ones) to improve body shape, posture. It even teaches people the correct way to breathe which is the very basic activity of every living creature.
Actually, if we take a serious notice, everybody is totally different. It is not simply about the appearance or the personalities. The difference mentioned here is also about the way every organ and every cell in the body functions. It depends on many factors, such as: habit, geography, gene, etc. If you ever think about taking a health examination (a “dosha” test in Yoga), you may figure out your own formation; hence, you may know exactly what to fix.
However, there are some advices having existed for a long time that Yoga suggested that everyone could give a try to see the differences in their own body.
1. Drink water
Everybody drinks water. Yet, the appropriate amount of water a man should adopt a day to stay healthy is said to be 8 glasses (or 1.5 – 2litres). Especially, we should drink a glass of warm water at the beginning of the day. This activity, if it is continuously done on a daily basis, can boost our digest system making it work more effectively during the

We are told that processed food is not good for our health by any means. But we usually consume them, anyway. We all know that we should not eat processed food, such as: chips, snacks, soda, hamburger, etc. despite their convenience. We are still young; neither our body nor our health is (or really little) negatively influenced by unhealthily eating. However, think about when we get older, think about how our body will react when we reach an age that our body no longer functions well? The point here is that we should eat freshly cooked food rather than those which are cooked and kept for several days. Not only the fresh ones will taste better but they also bring us more
To refresh In Michael Pollan’s (2008) book, In Defense of Food, Pollan maintains that, “…instead of worrying about nutrients, we should simply avoid any food that has been processed to such an extent that it is more product of industry than of nature.” (pg. 143) Basically Pollan is warning people that they need to eat whole foods no matter what, because processed foods no matter their nutrient content are bad for you. I agree with Pollan when he says that we need to not eat processed foods that are more industry then nature, but I still do not agree that have whole foods is more important than the nutrient content of the food. Think about it this way almost anything sold in the supermarket these days is considered processed for example even flour is processed.
Majority of food manufacturers use a whole lot of chemicals and artificial ingredients in high amounts to achieve the desired taste, texture and shelf life. However, in the long run extensive consumption of products that contain such ingredients can have adverse affect on human health. This is one of the reasons why health conscious consumers avoid processed food and look for healthy recipes that use natural ingredients and which are also easy to cook, thus giving them the satisfaction of eating healthy food. What Is That Makes HFCS Bad? According to research ninety percent of the corn produced in US is genetically modified, and this is the same corn that goes into the making of high fructose corn syrup which is an artificial sweetener.
In David Freedman’s essay How Junk food Can End Obesity, Freedman makes the claim to policy arguing that instead of demonizing processed foods, Americans should instead support the idea and production of healthier processed and junk foods. He calls on the public to recognize that while many products on the market these days are labeled as “wholesome” and “healthy”, consumers should learn to become aware of the fat and calorie content in these products because many times they have the same- if not more- fat and calorie contents as that of a typical Big Mac or Whopper. In his essay, Freedman primarily places blame on the media and the wholesome food movement for the condemnation of the fast and processed food industries saying, “An enormous amount of media space has been dedicated to promoting the notion that all processed food, and only processed food, us making us sickly and overweight” (Freedman), he further expresses that this portrayal of the
Now, you want to assume what a dumb issue this can be to mention since water are some things you already drink each day and it hasn’t created abundant of a distinction. Well, the trick isn 't to drink simply water. The trick is to drink a great deal of water! If you 'll manage it, drink double or thrice the number of water you drink typically. Most men and girls don 't grasp that their body is really dehydrated.
Most humans do not think of the consequence that processed foods have on our bodies.

I. We consume 8,500mg of salt per day, almost all from processed food. This is only one of the many reasons people have poor nutrition. Humans tend to not know the difference between processed and real foods causing the nutrition levels in our society to drop at an alarming rate. For years this problem has been a big factor to obesity and illness. Real food is a single ingredient with no chemicals even if they’re ground and put into a jar.
Another study at the U.S. National Institute of Health had participants do yoga every day for eight weeks, and take brain scans before and after. These scans showed that a part of the brain called the amygdala, which controls fear, anxiety and stress, had shrunk after the 8 weeks of yoga practice. Physical activity/exercise helps increase the chemical norepinephine which helps relieve stress. Exercise also helps increase endorphins in the brain which makes people feel happier and less
