How to Handle Jet Lag Naturally?

Jet lag is a physiological condition that results from disturbance to the body's inbuilt rhythm caused by rapid long-distance.

Our bodies are governed by the cycle of day and night which is responsible for regulating our sleep cycles and which maintains other bodily functions. The body takes cues from these circadian rhythms and follows a schedule to perform its functions – wake up, sleep, hunger among many others. Whenever

Acid Alkaline Balance
Everything in our body can be understood by acid-alkaline balance. When we do not understand that the body is always balancing and give names to this balancing process by new disease nomenclatures, we create fear and panic of our own body and its vital power of realignment and balance. Understanding the pH Scale pH means the potential of Hydrogen in a solution, and pH scale represents that potential from 0 to 14. When you dissolve acid in a solution, it gives out hydrogen ions. Measuring the number of these ions in a solution gives the test of how acidic or alkaline a solution is. Acidity and Alkalinity are expressions of measurement on the pH scale, with neutrality expressed at the middle point of the scale, at number 7. Numbers below 7 symbolize acidity and above 7 symbolize alkalinity. Pure water is pH 7. Water is formed by integrating hydrogen and oxygen. Water continues to absorb both acid and alkaline radicals without itself being affected This property of wate
Building Immunity in Kids, Naturally
Healthy immune system is crucial for optimal health and well being of people at all stages of life. We need to take extra care when it comes to children, as they are vulnerable to infections and parasitic infestation. The body's immune system acts as a powerful defense mechanism, and when it is weakened, it can pave the way for infections and illnesses. The human immune system is a complicated mechanism comprising of many organs and cells, which all work in harmony to protect us from bacterial, viral and fungal infections, parasitic infestation, and toxins. The healthier the lifestyle and food habits, the better is the immune system. Whereas unhealthy eating habits and lifestyle play havoc on the immune system. To build a stronger immune system, a healthy diet and a physically active lifestyle with adequate sleep, rest and relaxation are crucial. The power of foods as preventive medicine We often ignore the fact that the foods we eat every day can bolster or weak
5 Benefits of Mindful Eating and How to Do It Right?
Food has been the ultimate boon for mankind. It gives our body the required nutrition to perform our daily activities. When it comes to maintaining one's ideal weight, the one parameter that plays the most important role is – Food. However, it is not just what we eat but the way we consume it that plays a major role in its proper absorption and synthesis by our body. You must've noticed people around you who are busy talking to one another while eating or engrossed in exchanging text messages on phones. Some are glued to the television while eating food and some even prefer to read during the same! All these distractions are signs of a mindless form of eating which leads to improper assimilation of nutrients by the body. When we eat socially in a cosy setting, we start lagging in listening to our body and invariably overeat. Some people are also emotional eaters who resort to food during distressing times. Ideally, it'd be the best to skip eating when you
Anger – The Continuum from Procreative to Destructive Energy
It is common sense that the root cause of anger lies in disappointment; a disappointment which comes from failure in the meeting of expectations. However, not every expectation leads to disappointment and not every disappointment leads to anger. Simply put, only expectations which are tied to our survival leadto anger. Now, we all have our own definition of survival. This is the reason why, in any situation, two people can have different emotions when hit by disappointment. Every moment that we live, we live with hope and hope gives birth to expectation. Since the definition of our survival is programmed in interdependence, our expectations are largely turned towards others. Therefore, almost every moment spent with expectation carries the potential to turn into anger. Moments spent without hope are moments without curiosity, which quickens the process of ageing. With age, we turn hopeless all the time by concluding on our relationships, career, family and self. We often dub it
Natural Ways to Quit Smoking-This Cancer Day Take Your First Step Towards Kicking The Butt
Cancer Day is observed on 4th February. Readers will remember the remarks of MARK TWAIN when the cigar-smoking habit badgered him. Often he tried to quit. He realized the harm and the necessity of quitting when he humorously said something like this - "Quit smoking. Why anybody can do that. I quit a thousand times."

UNO-UNION-UNISON THEORY
Each organism is programmed by nature to REPAIR, REPRODUCE & REACT. These three capabilities are executed by each organism in their species-specific paths. Which means the REPAIRING happens uniquely, in connection to the maintenance of the universal homeostasis. In the process of repairing, the individual may experience disease or death. But in both, it is nothing but repairing. When it is beyond the possibility to bring back the homeostasis within an individual, it chooses to perish its body and maintains the universal homeostasis. We call that decision as death. The species-specific REPRODUCTIVE execution means, a monkey will not be able to produce a dog, naturally! The species-specific REACTION execution also differs from species to species. A bird will react differently to the same stimulus compared to how a snack reacts to that. But everyone, in general, is equipped with these three capabilities, as a program. This is an unarguable universal fact.
Worried about your Child’s Birth and want it to happen the Normal Way?
Pregnancy is a wonderful time for an expecting mother. It is also a time when special care of oneself should be taken to ensure a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
