Picture of The Day 

Boost Immunity Naturally

In Ayurveda, immunity is known as Ojas, or supreme resilience of the body against diseases. When your body gets enough and adequate nourishment, your Ojas becomes very strong and you stay healthy. For this, you need to take a balanced diet which can give you the essential nutrients. Apart from a good diet, here are some other immune-boosting foods that you should consume

Ashwagandha: This woody herb helps in boosting immune cells. It also reduces stress by managing the production of cortisol (stress hormone) in the body, which is related to staying resilient to diseases. You can consume Ashwagandha by adding it to milk, along with turmeric, for best results.

Turmeric: Turmeric not only boosts immunity but also has healing properties. The curcumin (yellow element) in turmeric has properties that help in stabilizing the immune system. It benefits people with chronic conditions like diabetes, arthritis, asthma, etc. Drink milk with turmeric in it to get the benefits of this spice. You can also cook turmeric with your food to increase immunity.

Giloy: This herb is a blood purifier, due to its antioxidant content. Giloy also helps in fighting disease-causing bacteria and aids in digestion. The combined effect of this herb boosts immunity. Giloy can also be beneficial for diabetics as it helps in managing blood glucose. One way to consume Giloy is by adding Giloy juice to water and drinking it on an empty stomach.

Amla: This Indian gooseberry is one of the richest sources of vitamin C and has properties that enhance the functioning of the immune system. Drinking Amla juice on an empty stomach in the morning can help in boosting your immunity. It is not recommended to consume Amla post sunset.

Left vs. Right Nostril Breathing in Pranayama

Several advanced pranayama techniques involve blocking off one nostril. Breathing through one or the other nostril dramatically changes the mental and emotional energy of the body. Left nostril breathing has been shown by medical studies to slow down the heart rate and decrease blood pressure. Conversely, right nostril breathing has been shown to increase the heart rate and blood pressure. The right nostril connects to the Pingala Nadi and has a yang, warming, bright, solar, and active energy. The left nostril connects to the Ida Nadi and has a yin, cooling, dark, lunar, and calming energy.

🧐 DID YOU KNOW?

Ease into HIIT: Your vinyasa practice may keep you fit, but it doesn’t necessarily prepare your body for high-intensity interval training (HIIT). A University of British Columbia study found that nonathletes showed signs of harmful stress in their muscle tissues after two weeks of HIIT. The muscle cells were only firing half-power post-training, reducing their capacity to fight free-radical damage. To HIIT safely, “start slow- a couple of days a week, under the supervision of an experienced coach.” Says Jason Khalipa, owner of former CrossFit Games.

Yoga Pose of the month

Benefits Of Shavasana

For many, it is considered to be one of the easiest asanas, but that is not the case. Even though it may look very simple and non-beneficial but it is the other way round. After doing all your yoga poses this is one of the most essential and important pose to complete your yoga practice with. It is the asana that gives the opportunity to relax. Shavasana means Corpse pose due to the look of the asana. As you lie down it makes you aware of your body and how each part of your body plays a very important role in your life.

As you go along meditating it relaxes each nerve of your body and improves your respiration which creates the areas for energy and vitality. It benefits mentally as well as physically, which helps in focusing your positive energy for a greater good. The mind and body should not waiver while doing this asana. Full concentration is required and it may prove to be very handy in times when you need the most. A motionless mind and body helps you reach the level of optimum relaxation. Listening to soothing voice or some chants may just help you reach that meditated level.

The respiratory and circulatory system is cleared and open to a more refreshing life. The overworked muscles tend to relax when you are in this asana. Every system in the body relaxes which gives them the breathing space to conserve energy and be more useful later on. It is very beneficial for people who are heart patients as well as those suffering from blood pressure. It helps in improving your stress level and may also relieve you from slight depression. Minor problems like headache, fatigue and insomnia may also be reduced. People with back injury or any other back problems should take extra care.
