The Bee Is Declared The Most Important Living Being On The Planet. See Why !!!

According to the Earthwatch Institute, The BEES have been declared the most important living beings on this planet. Many wildlife experts and scientist consider BEES to be on the long list of endangered species. In the past few years, 90% of the BEE population has disappeared … making them Extremely Endangered! The uncontrolled use of pesticides, deforestation and lack of flowers are the main reasons of their extinction. 

Its sting hurts a lot, but if they were to disappear, it would hurt much more.

Here’s why BEE ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT being on Earth:

• 70 % of the world’s agriculture depends exclusively on BEES.
• Pollunation of Plants for reproduction happens thanks to BEES.
• BEES are the only living beings who do not carry any type of pathogen (a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease)
• BEES are crucial to have around for Earth’s ecosystems.

The agriculture of the world depends on 70% of these insects, to put it more clearly and directly, we could say that 70 of 100 foods are intervened in favor of bees. Also, the pollination that the bees make allows the plants to reproduce, of which millions of animals feed, without them, the fauna would soon begin to disappear. The honey produced by bees, not only serves as food but also provides many benefits to our health and our skin.

The Bees around the world have disappeared by up to 90% according to recent studies by different researchers. The reasons are different depending on the region, but among the main reasons are massive deforestation, lack of safe places for nests, lack of flowers, use of uncontrolled pesticides, and changes in soil, among others.

How to help the BEES thrive and keep Earth’s ecosystems in working order:

• Stop using Deadly Pesticides
• Promote Natural Agricultural alternatives
• Monitorize BEES Health & Welfare

According to a quote attributed to Albert Einstein, If the bees disappear, humans would have 4 years to live.

In the present world, health is defined very narrowly. Fitness is only seen as the state of looking good from the outside. The way you move, one’s external appearance, and lack of diseases are seen as major indicators of being healthy. Amid all these talks, we overlook the much important context of life – emotion. Life is not just about the body, it is also equally about the mind and soul.

When we talk about senior citizens, the most common perception we hold is their inability to do physical tasks. Should they be treated as entirely unhealthy individuals? No, certainly not. Since the meaning of fitness is not limited to the body, one can aspire to remain fit from the inside. Yoga, as a philosophy of overall fitness, believes that all kinds of work can be performed by anybody, albeit in different ways. Hence we talk about Yoga for Senior People.

Yoga is a highly flexible science. It has been prevalent for more than 5000 years in South Asia and the world. Yoga promises to bring anyone with the zeal to enjoy good health on the track of fitness. It is different for different groups of practitioners. For seniors, Yoga presents a set of practices that are highly compatible with their body structures and physical abilities.

Yoga poses for Seniors

1. Shishuasana:  Shishuasana is an easy exercise for calming down the brain. In old age, human brains need more peace and serenity. An elderly person cannot tolerate much humdrum and thus, the mind requires immense calmness. Get on your knees and bend forward to bring the chest on the thighs and put the forehead in front of the knees on the mat. Experience silence in the position. This exercise not only lets your brain enjoy peace but also stretches the spine to provide the body with relaxation.

2. Baddha Konasana: Baddha Konasana is a sitting exercise, in which a person enjoys a good amount of stretching in the thighs, and spine. The practice is great for elongating the spine and keeping the body in good shape. Flexibility in the hips and pelvis regions can also be experienced with the practice of Baddha Konasana. To perform this asana, one needs to join the soles in front of the pelvis while keeping the body straight in a seated pose. Hold the toes with your hands and keep the chest open.

3. Pranayama: Talking about the most effective Yoga exercises for elders, Pranayama can be the best. It is all about breathing, which is the regulator of almost all the body’s metabolic acts. The practice of Pranayama is easy and doesn’t require any physical movement of the body. It is about inhaling and exhaling constantly to experience peace. The practice is effective in astonishingly boosting blood circulation and also purifying the red liquid. It is highly recommended to aged people, who will experience a boost in many inner body functions.

Chair Yoga for elders

One of the biggest beauties of contemporary Yoga in this world is Chair Yoga. This has provided elderly people and those with immobility a great way to enjoy the benefits of Yoga while sitting on a chair. In this form of Yoga, a person sits on a chair and practices various asanas. Although most of the asanas, particularly sitting ones, are similar, many poses are remodeled in different ways. Chair Yoga poses allow elders to practice and enjoy workouts without moving from one place to another. This way, they can benefit themselves by boosting blood circulation, stretching body parts, etc.

Yoga for beginners

Coming to those having little knowledge of Yoga, it is very difficult for them to quickly adjust to most of the highly advanced poses. Beginners need to first understand the simple poses of Yoga before exploring science. Here are some of the Yoga exercises a beginner-level practitioner should enjoy:

1. Trikonasana: Trikonasana or Triangle Pose is a very influential exercise, especially when you talk about thighs and shoulders stretching. It is a basic level asana, which is practiced by stretching both legs to a distance of about 3-4 feet. One needs to bend forward to touch the left toe with the left hand and repeat the same on the other side. Make sure to keep the knees unbent during practice.

2. Tadasana: Tadasana is one of the introductory level asanas. The pose is very effective in maintaining the stability of the body and mind. It is just about standing straight with all body parts active. You can raise your hands in the air to join the palms in Namaskar to give the asana a spiritual touch.

3. Dandasana: Sitting on the mat, spread the legs in front of the body. Keep both the legs parallel to each other and the upper body in a straight line. Make sure the upper and lower body makes a right angle at the pelvis. During the practice, place the palms on the mat beside the hips and the hands should be in line with the body.

The Himalayas are the highest mountain range in the world and have 9 out of 10 of the world’s highest peaks, including Mount Everest.  Nepal is a beautiful nation blessed with natural beauty, including mountains, hills, and rivers, among other natural landscapes. The major part of the world-famous Himalayan Mountain Range lies in the northern range of Nepal as it boasts several top mountain peaks, including  Mount Everest. Learn further about the Himalayas in Nepal.

Highest peak: Mount Everest at 29,031.7 ft. (8,848.86 m) is not only the highest peak in the Himalayas but the highest peak on the entire planet. Other famous peaks include K2, Kanchenjunga, Nanga Parbat, Annapurna, and Manaslu.

Glaciers: The Himalayas are the third largest deposit of ice and snow in the world, after Antarctica and the Arctic. There are approximately 15,000 glaciers located throughout the range. At 48 miles (72 km) in length, the Himalayan Siachen glacier is the largest glacier outside the poles. Nepal consists of the snow-fed river which is all thanks to the high mountains present in the roof of Nepal. That’s why Nepal is popular for White Water River Rafting around the world.

Climate: The Himalayas have a profound effect on the climate of the Indian subcontinent and the Tibetan Plateau. They prevent frigid, dry winds from blowing south into the subcontinent, which keeps South Asia much warmer than corresponding temperate regions in the other continents.

Ecology: The flora and fauna of the Himalayas vary with climate, rainfall, altitude, and soil. At high altitudes, the elusive and previously endangered snow leopard is the main predator. Its prey includes members of the goat family grazing on the alpine pastures and living on the rocky terrain, notably the endemic Bharal or Himalayan blue sheep. The Himalayan musk deer is also found at high altitudes. Hunted for its musk, it is now rare and endangered.

Pine forests are invading the oak forest in the Garhwal Himalayan region. There are reports of early flowering and fruiting in some tree species, especially rhododendron, apple, and box myrtle. The highest-known tree species in the Himalayas is Juniperus Tibetica located at 4,900 m (16,080 ft.) in Southeastern Tibet.

Culture: There is a complex blend of racial groups in the people of Nepal. The dominant castes of Hindus, namely Chhetri, Brahmin, and Thakur, along with others, speak Nepali. The Tamangs, Limbus, Magars, and Gurungs of Mongoloid strains dominate the middle hills and form organized groups of tribal hill farmers. The Sherpas from the Solo Khumbu region of the northeast are among the many groups of Bhutiyas that speak Tibetan dialects.

Religion: The main religions, which are practiced in the Himalayan region, are Hinduism and Buddhism. There is religious harmony between those two religions. They both speak Nepali in common.

Facts about Himalayas

1. The Himalayas cover approximately 75% of Nepal.
2. The Himalayan range is one of the youngest mountain ranges on the planet and consists mostly of uplifted sedimentary and metamorphic rock.
3. The Nepalese call Mt. Everest “Sagarmatha” which can be translated as “Goddess of the Universe” or “Forehead of the Sky.”
4. In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay were the first people to successfully climb to the summit of Everest.
5. Despite its name, the Snow Leopard – a Himalayan local – is most closely related to the Tiger.

The study of Yoga Teacher Training, especially in traditional Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Mantra Yoga, and Kundalini Yoga, is deeply rooted in sacred texts. The given reasons are ” Why yoga in Nepal? “

1. Nepal Himalayas :

The Nepal Himalayas are known as the rooftops of the world. As the highest mountains on Earth, their scenery is legendary. These mountains held an air of mystery until recently, and even today, much of the Himalayas remain untouched. They have always fascinated and inspired people from all walks of life around the world.

Yoga was born within the countries that hold the enchanting Himalayas. Nepal is home to some incredible mountain ranges such as Everest, Kangchenjunga, Manaslu, Ama Dablam, and many others. Yoga in the mountains creates a special bond between the people in the group where yoga is the central point. The mountains are calling. Yoga with a view like this is beyond explanation; it must be experienced. You feel the urge to reach higher and stretch longer, not wanting the practice to end.

2. Eco – Yoga :

Walking meditation combined with yoga in the woods is known as Eco-yoga. It’s about exploring our deep and intrinsic connection with nature. Hence Nepal consists of pristine nature and forest. Nepal is surely a country blessed by nature. 25.4% of Nepal’s land area is covered by is covered with forest. The forest is the dominant form of land cover in Nepal. Eco-yoga is very ideal for those who enjoy yoga but are looking to experience something deeper. It highly helps outdoor enthusiasts connect with nature in a powerful way.

4. Eastern Philosophies :

At its broadest, yoga, from the root word “yuj” in Sanskrit, means to unite. Most Hindu texts discuss yoga as a practice to control the senses and ultimately, the mind. The most famous is the Bhagavad Gita (dating back to 6th-3rd Century BCE³), in which Krishna speaks of four types of yoga – bhakti, or devotion; jnana, or knowledge; karma, or action; and dhyana, or concentration (often referred to as raja yoga, though not all sources agree on the term) – as paths to achieve moksha, the ultimate goal according to Hindu understanding.

3. Buddhist Teachings:Yoga in Nepal

Nepal is the land where “Gautam Buddha” was born.  In Nepal’s hill and mountain regions, Hinduism has absorbed Buddhist tenets to such an extent that in many cases they have shared deities as well as temples. Many Buddhists do specifically undertake practices meant to cultivate mindfulness.  We suffer, according to Buddhism, not because there’s anything inherently wrong with us but simply because we misunderstand the nature of reality. Buddhist practice helps us come to terms with reality by cultivating our awareness of the “three characteristics of experience,” also known as “the three marks of existence.” These are the impermanence, suffering, and insight. Nepal can be perfect place to learn Buddhist Teachings.

Introduction:

Dashain is the most important festival in Nepal. It is a celebration of good prevailing over evil. Families offer goats, ducks, chickens, eggs, and coconuts to the goddess Durga. People return to their home villages to spend some or all of the fifteen-day festival with their families. Large swings are set up for children, and from the tenth day, family members receive blessings of tika (rice, red vermilion, and yogurt) on their foreheads from their elders.

The great harvest festival of Nepal, Dashain is a time for family reunions, exchange of gifts and blessings, and elaborate pujas. Dashain honors the Goddess Durga, who was created out of the shakti or energy of all the gods, armed with weapons from each of them. Usually falling during September or October, Dashain starts in the Shukla paksha (bright lunar fortnight) and ends on the day of the full moon.

During Dashain, men and women in their fineries visit their elders to seek tika (a dab of red vermilion mixed with yogurt and rice) accompanied by blessings. Sword precessions (Paayaa) are also held in various parts of the Kathmandu Valley. A large number of animals are officially sacrificed at Hanuman Dhoka during Nawami which is attended by officials, invitees, and visitors.

Its History :

In Hindu mythology, the demon Mahishasura was causing terror in the devaloka (world of the gods) until Durga killed the demon. The first nine days of Dashain symbolize the battle that took place between the different manifestations of Durga and Mahishasura. The tenth day is the day when Durga finally defeats him. For other Hindus, this festival symbolizes the victory of Rama over Ravana, as recounted in the Ramayana.

Over the last few years, animal rights activists have been opposing these acts of slaughter, and have been appealing to people to stop, instead offering fruit and vegetables. They justify this because it is mentioned nowhere in the Hindu religious books that animal sacrifices appease the gods and goddesses.

Try to write about various topics that you know about. This will improve your language skills and help you shape your teaching style in a fine way finely shape your teaching style. You can create a blog and write about Yoga teaching techniques and your own experience while being in the company of so many students.

Introduction: Health Benefits of Dandelion

Dandelions are green and growing miracle herbs or flowers. Their ability to heal and nourish the body from the inside out makes them one plant you do not want to get rid of this summer. There’s a reason dried dandelion root is so expensive. Here are the top 10 of the most important health benefits of dandelion:

Stronger Bones

Dandelions are calcium-rich, which is the main element required for the growth of strong, healthy bones. They are also high in antioxidants like Luteolin and Vitamin C, which protect from loss of bone density and bone weakening.

Liver Health

One of the greatest benefits of dandelion is how it nourishes and healing the liver. Dandelion has been shown to improve hepatic function by detoxifying the liver and reestablishing hydration and electrolyte balance. It also increases the production and release of bile. One of the greatest benefits of dandelion is its effect on our liver.

Diabetes

Dandelion helps stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin and helps regulate blood sugar levels. It is also a natural diuretic and thus encourages urination. What does this have to do with diabetes? It helps remove excess sugar and salt from the body and reduces sugar build-up in the kidneys (thus helping reduce the risk of renal problems in diabetics).

Urinary Health

As mentioned above, dandelions are a great natural diuretic, and so they help eliminate toxic build-up in the kidneys and urinary tract. The anti-microbial properties of dandelion also prevent bacterial growth in the urinary system, which is great for individuals suffering from recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs)

Better Skin

Dandelion is an excellent detoxifier and antioxidant, making it one of the best herbal remedies for treating acne and other skin problems like psoriasis and eczema. It helps purify the blood and improves liver function, both of which result in beautiful, glowing skin. The major chlorophyll content in dandelion greens is also a win-win for skin health.

Cancer

Another important use for dandelion is its powerful effects against cancer. Many studies have found that dandelion root extract is effective in the treatment of leukemia and breast cancer. It acts by inducing apoptosis in leukemia cells while leaving healthy cells alone. It also has a positive impact on cancer cells that are resistant to chemotherapy.

Jaundice

Thanks to the liver-healing abilities of dandelion, it also helps with jaundice, a disorder of the liver, where it overproduces bile and messes with the body’s metabolism. Dandelion helps regulate bile production, and also promotes urination, helping to get rid of excess bile.
