The Health Benefits of Yoga

2010-01-12T01:18:50-05:00

If you don’t know a boat pose from a tree pose, it’s time you learned more about yoga.

For over 2,000 years, yoga, meaning the unity of the body and the vital life force, has been practiced. The program unites the body with the mind and consists of a series of slow, gentle stretches accompanied by deep, steady breathing. It strengthens the body while calming and awakening the spirit.
“The deep, steady breathing of yoga is believed to balance the nervous system and improve circulation,” says Nicole Nisly, MD, UI Hospitals and Clinics Complementary and Alternative Medicine Clinic. “Combine that with visualization and relaxation, and yoga leads to a calm and focused state of mind.”

The benefits of yoga are seen in a wide variety of health conditions. In mild cases of asthma and high blood pressure, yoga can reduce the need for medication. Yoga also can be useful in helping people cope with diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Yoga also has been extremely helpful in relieving back pain, especially in pregnant women.

“Yoga has become increasingly popular, even in small cities and towns, and it’s not limited to any certain group of individuals. People of all sizes, shapes, and ages can do yoga,” Nisley says.

If you’re just starting, you will want to be sure and find a class designed for beginners and tell your instructor of any physical limitations you may have. If you’re not ready to venture out into public, several yoga videos are available in stores and libraries.

AYURVEDA

2010-01-12T01:21:08-05:00

Ayurveda is a system of traditional medicine native to India[1] and practiced in other parts of the world as a form of alternative medicine.[2] In Sanskrit, the word Ayurveda[3] consists of the words ayus, meaning ‘life’, and veda, meaning ‘related to knowledge’ or ‘science’.[1] Evolving throughout its history, Ayurveda remains an influential system of medicine in South Asia.[4] The earliest literature of Ayurveda appeared during the Vedic period in India.[2] The Sushruta Samhita and the Charaka Samhita were influential works on traditional medicine during this era.[2] Ayurvedic practitioners also identified a number of medicinal preparations and surgical procedures for curing various ailments and diseases.[5]

As per Indian heritage and science, AYURVEDA is an Upaveda or annexure to the four main vedas (knowledge systems). The famous treaties of Ayurveda are Charaka Samhita by Sage Charaka, which details the prevention and treatment of disease, and Sushruta Samhita of Sage Sushruta, which deals with Ayurvedic surgical procedures. In the Ayurvedic system, the prevention of all types of disease has a prominent place in treatment, including restructuring a patient’s lifestyle to align with the course of nature and the four seasons to guarantee complete wellness.

Ayurveda is considered to be a form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) within the western world, where several of its methods, such as the use of herbs, massage, and Yoga as exercise or alternative medicine, are applied on their own as a form of CAM treatment.[6] However, such alternative therapy approaches are not unique to Ayurveda because they are also available under the systems of Unani medicine, Greek medicine and Islamic medicine.

yoga and weith lose

2010-01-12T01:19:39-05:00

Hello all,

I find it interesting all the questions and interest in weight loss and yoga. I think classes in yoga are some of the best spent hours for me. I am however over weight myself. Recently I was buying some clothes in a plus clothing store and mentioned how I lived in my yoga pants for comfort. The wondeful sales woman said, ‘you do yoga!?!’ She said she wanted to but just didn’t feel comfortable in classes and couldn’t do what others in class are doing. I have noticed a few classes popping up in cities for overweight people. I am not in one of those cities myself so I decided to open my arms and heart to a bigger group of people. I am in the process of starting yoga classes and buddy system online for overweight people who either just want positive support and to be healthy or want to work with me as I do things to lose weight. I invite anyone interested in the classes and system to email me celiasyoga at comcast dot net
I will put together a mailing list for when we kick things off. I also invite you to give my email to anyone interested or that is looking.

One of the reasons many people do not know how to react properly to a blowout is because the quality of tires sold today is much higher than the quality of those sold a generation ago. They rarely blow out. The drawback is that it happens so seldom that few drivers know how to respond in a way that lets them maintain control of their car.

When a blowout occurs, a motorist will instinctively remove their foot from the gas pedal, press the brake pedal, and try to maneuver the car to the side of the road. On the surface, this sounds appropriate. However, doing those things will actually reduce the level of control the motorist has on his vehicle.

The proper procedure to follow is to keep your foot on the gas pedal when a tire blows out, even though doing so seems counterintuitive. You’ll likely feel a pulling sensation to the side. Counter it. If your car pulls to the right, gently guide the steering wheel to the left; that will help you maintain control. You’ll find that your car stabilizes after a few moments. Once it does, decelerate slowly while guiding your vehicle over to the side of the road.

By keeping the right amount of pressure in your tires (check your owner’s manual for the right psi), you can avoid experiencing a blowout. That said, it’s impossible to plan for everything, including nails and other sharp objects on the road. If it happens, follow the steps above to ensure your safety and that of your passengers

What To Do When Your Tire “Blows Out”

Would you know what to do if you had a blowout while driving? Most drivers have never gone through the experience and would likely react in the opposite manner than they should. Unfortunately, that reaction can lead to a serious traffic collision. In this article, I’ll explain the factors that can cause a tire to “blow out” (they might surprise you). I’ll also describe what you should do when it happens in order to maintain control of your vehicle.

Nature Of The Problem

It’s worth spending a moment to properly define a blowout. At its most basic, it is a rupture through which air quickly escapes to the point that the wheel is unable to support the weight of the vehicle. Aside from driving over a nail or any object that creates a large gash in the rubber, most people don’t realize how a blowout happens.

A lot of motorists think a blowout occurs because there is too much pressure in the tire. They believe the pressure builds until the rubber develops a weak spot at which point it ruptures. In truth, the problem is due to the tire having too little pressure, not too much. When this happens, the rubber flexes beyond its normal elasticity. If the vehicle is overloaded, friction and heat can build up to the point where the steel netting and the rubber separate. A rupture becomes imminent.

Common systems

2010-01-17T05:26:23-05:00

hello,

Common systems

There are two common systems of using general ranks.

One form, the old European system, is used in the United Kingdom from which it eventually spread to the Commonwealth and the United States of America. The system is not British in origin, and variations of this system were once used throughout Europe.

The other is derived from the French Revolution, where generals’ ranks are named according to the unit they (theoretically) command.
