6 Healthy Reasons To Drink More Water

These days, people are carrying bottled water everywhere and has become the second most popular drink after soft drinks. A new report had found that the benefits of drinking water may have been oversold and has caused a stir. The eight glasses a day rule is not based on scientific evidence and maybe more than a guideline.


Although we may not need to drink too much, there are plenty of reasons to drink water be it plain water or in any other forms of fluids or foods.

Virgin Coconut Oil – Miraculous Oil That Does Wonders

Among the products that were deemed to have notorious saturated fat by the health community were coconut oil, coconut milk and grated coconut flakes. Every health enthusiast avoided these until new research studies started to debunk the myth that such products were actually unhealthy to consume. In the midst of this restored reputation, the wellness industry produces a new health superstar, Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, which is claimed by many in USA to be the “miracle oil”.

Coconut oil has been inundated with bad reputation because of its saturated fat status. In the past, nobody made any distinction between the good and bad saturated fats. They are all considered to be harmful because they are high in cholesterol and really detrimental to heart health.

Are Kids Who Meditate Compassionate, Altruistic And Happier As Adults?

Are kids who meditate happier as adults? Are they more compassionate and altruistic? Or, having been raised by somewhat "kooky" parents do they tend to be a little nutty themselves? Written with the idealism of a meditator pursuing a career in law, the following brief essay sheds light, in ways this prospective law student may not yet understand, on the divergent and often conflicting professional experiences of many adult meditators.


Here's what Sam Alexander, who learned to meditate as a child, has to say:


I grew up in a comfortable upper-middle class suburb of Los Angeles for the first few years of my life. I was surrounded by comfort and abundance, and wanted for nothing. When I was eight years old, my parents separated and my brother and I moved with my mother to a tiny town in Virginia founded by the Integral Yoga Institute. This town, Yogaville, is a living, breathing community based on the teachings of Swami Satchidananda, a renowned Hindu spiritual master who famously opened Woodstock with words of peace and love.

What To Do Before Stepping Out Into The Sun

Wrinkles, sagging skin and age spots. They sound depressing, but we will all have to deal with the signs of aging eventually.


Constant exposure to the sun speeds up the aging process but don’t wail just yet as there are a number of things you can do to reduce the effects of sun on your skin.


1 Hour Before Stepping Out Into The Sun


Choose the right type of clothing. Clothes made from tightly woven fabric are the best for sun protection. And though you may groan at this, darker clothes provide more protection than lighter ones. To minimize the effects of humidity, go for materials made from 100% cotton.
