Happy New Year:Steps for gaining Happiness and Longevity

A very warm welcome to all and wish you a Very Happy New Year.Hope you are in best state of your Health and Mind.This New Year I wanted to share the steps for gaining Happiness and Longevity. Here I will outline what I believe are the four pillars of optimal health — in other words, the four lifestyle factors you can manage to improve your health. These are all based on sound science, to the best of my knowledge. The four pillars are: nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress control. I will cover these four pillars here without going into too much detail. It goes without saying that if you smoke, drink excessively, or do drugs, then diet or exercise are the least of your worries. 1. Nutrition Optimal nutrition is all about eating real food, not processed crap. The problem is that most people have been misinformed about nutrition their entire lives, so they really have no idea what food is actually healthy. Disease-promoting foods that should be avoid...

Staying Healthy,Resilient & Relentless

During these unpredictable times, Weigh yourself! Your house is stocked with groceries, your gym is closed, you have a lot more time on the couch and near the fridge. Your activity level is probably down. Your snack/consumption is probably up. While everyone worries about the virus, many are also letting other parts of their health deteriorate and setting themselves up for other health issues. High levels of stress and anxiety can cause changes in your weight, and weaken your immune system. . Grow your resiliency during this time, not your waistline, not your blood pressure, and not your cholesterol. Watch what you eat and drink, and that doesn't mean watch food and drink go into your mouth. Some of you will gain weight. Some will lose. Most of us have broken out of our routines right now, which for many is not a bad thing. Use this time to develop new habits that you always wanted, but said you didn’t have time for. Stay healthy. Stay resilient. And stay relentless!

Working on your important project work and suddenly the power cuts-off and you take it very lightly as you have become used to it.Be it a metropolitan like Delhi,Bangalore,kolkata or the smaller cities like Patna,Madurai,Hubli,Kota,Jaipur,Vizag or any major urban gatherings,these power-cuts are affecting our daily lifestyles in one way or another. Power failures are particularly critical at sites where the environment and public safety are at risk. Institutions such as hospitals, sewage treatment plants, mines, etc., will usually have backup power sources, such as standby generators, which will automatically start up when electrical power is lost.But such a huge amount of power outages are making bad examples of the the so called "efficient Power Management" in a developing country like INDIA. In 2008, the Indian government pledged to provide “power for all” by 2012. It’s already near mid 2011 and these power cuts remain to be a big problem.There can be no denials of th...
