Sleep better tonight

65 % of American adults do not get eight hours of sleep at night, about 70 million suffer from insomnia, and according to the National Sleep Foundation, nearly seven out of ten report frequent sleeping problems* …so far the statistics…

There is a link of sleep disorders and sleep deprivation to a host of ills, including an increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack, and stroke.

You should know that our daily dose of shut-eye regulates the weight, strengthens our immunity, protects our cardiovascular health, repairs our tissues and cells, and restores our energy.

Worth knowing about yoga

Strangely enough, yoga is always somehow transfigured. Yoga is simple and alone the all-encompassing system for body and mind.

Good to know >>>

• There are many yoga styles in, there is something for everyone. Yoga ranges from a gentle category for the elderly or ill people to a power professional group.

• Yoga is the ideal supplement for athletes. There is nothing better.

• Forget about these circus acrobats. Yoga is more than just a balancing act, just because you were forced to play ballet as a child and do now the full split or bending over does not proof a good yoga performance.

• And yoga is really not just for women. Men, join in!!!

• And of course, I personally like Tantra-Yoga best.

Flank change

It's been 20 years now I was in a conflict regarding a journey. Actually, I wanted to go to Germany, but somehow I felt more, it should be London instead. And I could not make up my mind.

A good friend then gave me the crucial idea. “Go to Scotland!” he said. Scotland? I would not have thought about that in my dreams. For too many days I had been thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of visiting London compared to visit Germany.

But that's how life is very often. There are supposedly only two ways out. Either the train turns left or right. OK, that may be true and better in case of a train the train, but we can also look for a third choice. Scotland.

Make a decision. Left, right for the train. You have more options.

Bye bye stress

Stress takes a toll on your body

Everyone at some point feels the effects of stress and many don’t know how to deal with it. I am not talking about the positive stress. No, just the negative one which is far more known as “stress” is a problem. 

To escape this stress by using alcohol, smoking or taking drugs makes matters worse and causing even more problems. Stress becomes a negative factor when a person faces continuous challenges without any time mixed in for relief of it. As a result, people become overworked and stress-related anxiety and illness shows. Stress causes people to breathe harder and usually the wrong way. 

And good breathing is essential for good (long) living. People who are stressed eat much more than usual. Sometimes they will eat much less. When you’re stressed, the brain sends alert sensations to the stomach. Your stomach can react with nausea or pain. Severe stress can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation. 

If this stress becomes chronic, you can develop ulcers. The best thing to do is learn to manage stress. You won’t avoid stress entirely, but it is possible to minimise the effects by eating healthy, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and taking care of yourself in general. And watch the breathing!

No stress > longevity!

Everything has an end

Decay is inherent in all compounded things.

Strive on, with diligence.
