Common physical activity involve the feet for running and walking, , hands for playing ball, among others. But with yoga, the movements involve muscles moving in new patterns and ways that would enhance flexibility in movement and form. Here are some of the reasons why yoga, as an exercise method is beneficial for men. But what if this is your first time to get into a yoga session? Worry not. Know what you are getting into. It may seem a bit tasking in taking the time to know what your class is all about or what you are planning to do. With yoga, you may want to do a little research to get to know some terms and history of yoga. Although yoga may be involved mostly on body movements, it would be helpful to have a headband handy to wear during the yoga sessions as these involve a lot of perspiration that could sometime distract, especially when sweat gets into your eyes. Having a headband prevents this from happening. For hygiene and sanitary purposes, it’s better to have yours, rather than blame yoga for catching a skin disease due to common-use or unsanitary workout mats. Focus on the workouts. Yoga is one of the most popular workouts today and admit it, the one working out next to you could be your epitome of an ideal date that could cause you some untoward distractions and let you lose sight of your goals for the day. Clear your mind and focus on the work ahead. Come in fully rested. Yoga is mostly done through body stretches and limbering exercises that sometimes could stress the muscles, joints and extremities. A stressed body could more likely be hurting instead of conditioning. The yoga workouts may be exciting, but it does not mean that you have to extend more effort to do extra repetitions than what is prescribed, especially since yoga is more isometric, rather than eccentric or concentric. Extra reps may even be more useless instead of benefitting from it. Here are core-busting yoga routines to work on.Rainbow side plank – Assume a plank position with the left forearm flat on the ground, then reach your right arm overhead as you lift the right hip up the ceiling return to main position and repeat 10 times with 3 sets. Dolphin pose pike ups – Go to a forearm plank with the forearms parallel to each other. Walk your feet towards the hands as far as can be possible. The shoulders should always be directly above the elbows. Repeat 10 times and perform three sets on both sides. Plank knee drops – Go to a high plank position with the hands twisted slightly until they both point 90 degrees on both sides. Bring the right knee to the right armpit with the foot off-ground. Drop the knee down to the right then back up the right armpit. Do 10 times on each side and complete 3 sets each. Crescent lunge twists – Go to a lunge position with the left leg forward with the right leg stretched back. Place your weight on the front heel and the other side with the back with the heel of the foot at the back. With hands held like doing a prayer, twist the upper body across the front leg and the right elbow pushed out the left knee. Hold five seconds and repeat 10 times on each side. Half moon with repeated hip rotation- Stand with feet together but with toes pointed outwards. Tip the upper body forward as you lift the right leg to the ceiling. Rotate the right hip open and upwards with foot flexed and return back. Repeat 10 times on each sides for three sets. These exercises for core strength through yoga is surely effective and powerful.

For many of us, being in the kitchen is about so much more than cooking. This is the place where we let loose, take our shoes off, sing off-key, and dance with abandon. It’s where we clear our heads and find a private moment, and also where we congregate with friends and family. It’s where important conversations happen. It is our happy place, and it’s even happier when there are good tunes playing — sometimes a little too loudly. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2016/06/29/the-happiest-songs-to-play-in-the-kitchen-kitchn-tunes/ In the epic ice cream-hosted matchup of cone versus cup, we have to admit we’ve come down on both sides. There’s something to be said for the simplicity of the cup. It’s a neat and tidy vessel (no risk of sticky drips here!) for the main attraction: ice cream. On the other hand, cones offer zero waste and they add another dimension to your eating experience: Making sure you don’t have a case of runaway ice cream takes technique and focus. And then there’s the cone itself — crunchy and slightly sugary, it’s definitely a suitable mate for your flavor of choice. So, is one really better than the other? The answer is yes, according to Jeni Britton Bauer. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2016/06/29/why-a-cone-is-better-than-a-cup-according-to-jeni-britton-bauer-global-ice-cream-social/ Called namoora in Lebanon, basbousa in Egypt, and haressa in Syria and Palestine, this semolina sheet cake is often served throughout the arab world and often during Eid Al-Fitr. With only a handful of ingredients and a straightforward technique, it is perhaps one of the easiest desserts you’re not making. This version from Amanda Saab is drenched in a lemon and lavender syrup, giving this already-fragrant cake a floral update. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2016/06/29/recipe-lavender-namoora-the-ramadan-table/ Namoora holds a special place in my heart. This sweet semolina sheet cake speckled with almonds takes me back to my grandmother’s home in Dearborn, Michigan. Each crunchy bite of cake transports me to my childhood, when I did not understand the importance this decadent treat would have on my life. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2016/06/29/carrying-home-in-a-sheet-cake-the-ramadan-table/ Sausages, brats, bangers, and dogs are terms that are often used when referring to any of the fresh sausage links we adore for their ability to pair well with ball games and beer. It is likely that you can distinguish a hot dog from the bunch, but do you know the difference between a sausage and a bratwurst? via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2016/06/29/whats-the-difference-between-sausage-and-bratwurst-word-of-mouth/ http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/nutritionclubca.wordpress.com/1948/ http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png From getting a taxi to ordering food, people begin to develop online ordering habits that make it easy for anyone having a smartphone or laptop computer- anywhere and everywhere. New innovations may further spur online ordering habitsMaking good food choices or knowing food nutritional values may be as simple as looking at your phone screens and can even help you count calories. This after the Food and Drug Administration activates the new calorie labeling regulations that will take effect this spring. The plan is to let people know how much calories they can have with the click of a button on a food item of their fancy, as some companies like Starbucks have already started to join in the calorie count bandwagon. What you know won’t hurt youA collaborative study by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Carnegie Mellon University reveals that there is a positive effect on people to know how much calories they have in their diet and these are good reasons for inspiring them to eat healthy. Study lead Eric VanEpps a graduate student from Carnegie Mellon University says that they wanted to focus on the idea whether people can make healthful online choices for food if the nutrition values inform them about the calorie content of each food item in the menu. “Calorie labels can be really helpful,” says VanEpps. “We have what we think of as healthy categories like salad. But not every salad is healthier than every sandwich.” The researchers said they already have an idea about some restaurants devising a visual representation of colour coded labels that help people distinguish food items that are healthful with green, less healthful with yellow and not-so-healthful with red. High tech online menu studyThe researchers teamed up with a health insurance firm based in Kentucky to develop an online meal ordering system for their employees and over the course of six weeks, people were given options to choose their food on a website for pickup, instead of waiting in queue at the cafeteria. All of the users, numbering close to 250, saw ‘traffic coded’ menus with the exact calorie counts and those without labels. Their study reveals that users who used the online menus with colour-coded calorie counts ordered 10 percent lower calorie content compared to those who were not provided with the colour coded menus or access to their food’s health information. The researchers are hopeful that someday, they may be able to see people’s online ordering habits be able to clear the way for more healthful and wise food choices.

You might be occasionally seeing some stars floating in your eyes but simply shrug it off as a momentary episode, but in fact, could be something that could lead up to a debilitating disease. Never ignore eye symptoms, no matter how little they may beAccording to the Center for Disease Control, almost half the population of American adults who are considered to be at risk of mission loss did not visit an ophthalmologist in the past 12 months. There are also 35 percent of adults in the US who avoid visits to their eye doctor because they feel their vision is fine and therefore do not need an eye exam. In fact, the eyes do not only measure the quality of one’s vision, but it also provides vital information to doctors about your overall health condition. This is true with many ailments like high cholesterol levels, diabetes, high blood pressure, infectious diseases or even an autoimmune disorder, which may people have discovered after having their eyes checked. They eyes are the windows to the body“The eyes may be the windows to the soul, but they can also tell us about a lot of systemic diseases, and the severity of those diseases,” says Dr. Suber Huang, chief executive of Retina Center of Ohio in Cleveland and chair of the National Institutes of Health National Eye Health Education Program Steering Committee. “Anything that is new in terms of a change in your vision could be potentially worrisome,” says Huang, who was also a past president of the American Society of Retina Specialists. Floaters and flashesOnce you start to see small gnat-like strips with occasional flashes of light, then you need to see an opthalmologist quick, as it could be an indication of posterior vitreous detachment or PVD. PVD usually comes with age when the gel-like substance in the eye called the vitreous, begins to shrink and pull away from the retina. It does not hurt but can induce anxiety , but this condition, once checked early on, can be addressed with a quick routine in a doctor’s office with a laser apparatus. Read teary eyesThis could be a symptom of keratitis which is an infection of the cornea. This can be treated once detected early on, but can potentially cause loss of vision when ignored. Double visionThis is never a good thing which can be a problem with the cornea. Worse, it could also be an indicator for a neurological disorder, an autoimmune disease or a serious organ problem. Unequal pupil sizeAlso called anisocoria, should not be ignored as it could be a symptom for a tumour, aneurysm , brain infection or even an early sign of a stroke attack. Pain in the eyesNever ignore pain in the eyes like feeling a stab of pain when seeing sudden flashes of light or a feeling of pressure in your eye sockets. This could be signs of a possible eye injury or even potentially blinding conditions like optic neuropathy or angle-closure glaucoma. So make sure you never ignore eye symptoms and see your doctor right away.

A new method that wipe out cancerous tumours by killing it through suicideIn their study through The Journal of Clinical Oncology, lead researcher and associate professor Matthew Gdovin said that they patented the method that can tremendously help people with hard-to-reach or inoperable tumours , including young children with cancer. Gdovin claims that their method involves a chemical compound called nitobenzaldehyde by injecting it in the tumour and allowing it to diffuse into the tissue. Once the chemical is in, they then aim a beam of light at the tissue that causes the cells to become acidic to the point that the cancer cell ‘commits suicide’ and dies. In a matter of two hours, Gdovin said that up to 95% of the cancer cells die. “Even though there are many different types of cancers, the one thing they have in common is their susceptibility to this induced cell suicide,” says Gdovin. Successful animal testingAccording to Gdovin, they initially tested the method against mice against triple negative breast cancer cells, which is one of the most aggressive of all cancer types and one of the most difficult to treat – often met with a poor prognosis for survival. After only one round of treatment using the method, Gdovin said that they were able to stop the tumour dead in its tracks and doubles the test mice’s chances of survival. “All forms of cancer attempt to make cells acidic on the outside as a way to attract the attention of a blood vessel, which attempts to get rid of the acid,” says Gdovin. “Instead, the cancer latches onto the blood vessel and uses it to make the tumour larger and larger.” More precise than chemotherapyWhile chemotherapy target all cells in the body and some therapies also involves keeping cancer cells acidic until they die re two of the main reasons why cancer patients start to lose hair and get sick. This new method, however, aims to become a better alternative as it only targets the cancerous tumour without affecting other healthy cells in the body. It is also non invasive as the light wavelength that is used to activate the chemicals that are made up of nanoparticles that can pass through skin, flesh and bone until it reaches the targeted tumour cells. Gdovin hopes that this non-invasive technique treat patients with tumours along problematic areas like the aorta, brain stem or spine and wipe out cancerous tumours without the need for surgery.
