If you think about exercise only in terms of intense cardio workouts such as running or biking, you may be missing out on the very health benefits you are trying to gain. In this blog post,   Ronesh (Ron) Sinha, M.D. , a   PAMF   internal medicine doctor, explains why the simplest exercises, such as walking, are the most important for our health.   Re-evaluating Our Approach to Exercise Back in the days when physical activity was a natural part of our life and daily habits, it was assumed that we took enough steps to interrupt the damaging metabolic effects of prolonged sitting frequently enough to disrupt fat storage and inflammation. So with this foundation of baseline essential non-exercise physical activity (NEPA), the recommendation was to add on an additional four to five exercise sessions a week. The core of NEPA includes activities like walking, climbing stairs, picking up objects off the ground and doing some squatting, all of which used to be a...

Hastinapur has a total area of twelve acres. Its population consists of a dozen Indian gods and an equal number of Argentine human beings. Some of the Indian gods reside in authentic temples filled with the scent of Indian agarbatties while others stay outdoor enjoying the fragrance of the flowers from the garden. Some are sitting or standing on the pedestals and others hang on the sides of walls and pillars. The gods who have their own temples include Ganesh, Krishna , Surya, Narayana and Siva.

Most people take bladder control for granted — until the unintended loss of urine interrupts the ability to carry on an ordinary social and work life. Often the causes of incontinence are out of a person’s control. For example, in women, incontinence is a common side effect of childbirth. For men, it’s most often a side effect of treatment for prostate problems. Although it may not be possible to avoid incontinence, you can take steps to lower the chances that you will develop this distressing problem. Watch your weight.   Excess weight and incontinence can go hand in hand, particularly for women. One theory is that extra abdominal fat can weaken the pelvic floor muscles and lead to stress incontinence (leaking when coughing, laughing, sneezing, etc.). In some cases, simply losing weight can improve incontinence. Don’t smoke.   Smoking threatens your health in many ways. It also doubles the likelihood that a woman will develop stress incontinence. Nicotine has also...

Regular physical activity helps keep your heart, lungs, and muscles in shape and can stave off the effects of aging. In much the same way, exercising your brain can help keep your mind sharp and your memory intact. Here are two ways to activate your brain. Keep busy and engaged The MacArthur Foundation Study on Successful Aging, a long-term study of aging in America, found that education level was the strongest predictor of mental capacity as people aged. The more education, the more likely an individual was to maintain his or her memory and thinking skills. Other research has shown that people who held jobs that involved complex work, such as speaking to, instructing, or negotiating with others, had a lower risk of memory loss (dementia) than people whose jobs were less intellectually demanding. It probably isn’t the years of formal education or the type of occupation itself that benefits memory. Intellectual enrichment and learning stimulate the brain to make more connection...
