Hello Out There All,
Dan and I have been hunkering down for 4.571 weeks, this
is the first that we have not been going somewhere on a bus or Uber.
Yoga is something that made both of us feel good. Derived from the Sanskrit word “yuji,” meaning yoke or union, yoga is an ancient practice that brings together mind and body. It incorporates breathing exercises, meditation and poses designed to encourage relaxation and reduce stress.
Yoga is known for its
ability to ease stress and promote relaxation. In fact, multiple studies have
shown that it can decrease the secretion of cortisol, the primary stress
hormone. Many people begin practicing yoga as a way to cope with feelings of
anxiety. Interestingly enough, there is quite a bit of research showing that
yoga can help reduce anxiety. In addition to improving your mental health, some
studies suggest that practicing yoga may reduce inflammation as well. Inflammation
is a normal immune response, but chronic inflammation can contribute to the
development of pro-inflammatory diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and
cancer. From pumping blood throughout the body to supplying tissues with
important nutrients, the health of your heart is an essential component of
overall health. Studies show that yoga may help improve heart health and reduce
several risk factors for heart disease.
Yoga is becoming increasingly common as
an adjunct therapy to improve quality of life for many individuals. Some
studies show that yoga may have an anti-depressant effect and could help
decrease symptoms of depression. This may be because yoga is able to decrease
levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that influences levels of serotonin, the
neurotransmitter often associated with depression. Chronic pain is a persistent
problem that affects millions of people and has a range of possible causes,
from injuries to arthritis. There is a growing body of research demonstrating
that practicing yoga could help reduce many types of chronic pain. Poor sleep
quality has been associated with obesity, high blood pressure and depression,
among other disorders. Studies show that incorporating yoga into your routine
could help. Many people add yoga to their fitness routine to improve
flexibility and balance.
There is considerable research that backs this
benefit, demonstrating that it can optimize performance through the use of
specific poses that target flexibility and balance. Yogic breathing, is
a practice in yoga that focuses on controlling the breath through breathing
exercises and techniques. Most types of yoga incorporate these breathing
exercises, and several studies have found that practicing yoga could help
improve breathing. In addition to improving flexibility, yoga is a great
addition to an exercise routine for its strength-building benefits. In fact,
there are specific poses in yoga that are designed to increase strength and
build muscle.
HOW IS IT THAT MUSIC CAN!
Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind,
flight to the imagination and Life to everything.
REMEMBER- How to protect yourself and others from the
Corona Virus?
How does the corona virus spread? When an infected person coughs or sneezes,
they release droplets of saliva or mucus. These droplets can fall on people in
the vicinity and can be either directly inhaled or picked up on the hands then
transferred when someone touches their face, causing infection. For flu, some
hospital guidelines define exposure as being within six feet of an infected
person who sneezes or coughs for 10 minutes or longer. Viruses can also be
spread through droplets landing on surfaces such as seats on buses or trains or
desks in school. However, whether this is a main transmission route depends on
how long viruses survive on surfaces – this can vary from hours to months.
There is evidence that the virus can be spread by people
before they have symptoms. Some other illnesses such as flu can be passed from
one person to another before symptoms occur – but the extent to which this is
happening with the new corona virus is not well understood yet.
How to protect yourself and others? Wash your hands: wet
your hands with clean, running water and apply soap. Lather your hands, including
the backs, between your fingers, and under your nails and scrub for at least 20
seconds. Rinse.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or
sneeze, then throw the tissue in the bin and wash your hands. If you do not
have a tissue to hand, cough or sneeze into your elbow rather than your hands. Face
masks offer some protection as they block liquid droplets. However, they do not
block smaller aerosol particles that can pass through the material of the mask.
The masks also leave the eyes exposed and there is evidence that some viruses
can infect a person through the eyes. Seek early medical help if you
have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, and share your travel history
with healthcare providers. If visiting live markets in affected areas avoid
direct, unprotected contact with live animals and surfaces that have been in
contact with animals. If you have returned from an affected area in the
last two weeks, stay indoors and avoid contact with other people for 14 days.
This means not going to work, school or public areas. If you have
returned from an infected area and develop a high temperature, cough, runny
nose, sore throat or difficulty breathing do not leave your home until you have
been given advice by a doctor.
Stay home and keep your distance, social distancing. BE
SAFE!!
