The Practice of Yoga

Do you know that the tension and stress is reflected in the skin, the day I heard that I got more stressed because It’s difficult to me to get relaxed when I have a lot of work and when life is not like a would like it to be.

The exercise has helped me to reduce the stress, principally the yoga because it helps me to get relaxed. Yoga is not only hard positions for 30 minutes, it is learning deep breathing and clearing the mind.

Yoga is effective but it will only work if you work it. To obtain results with yoga, as with any program, it is necessary dedication and persistence. There are postures and basic meditations exercises that are simple to learn.

Yoga provides many benefits, it can help to complement other sports because with the practice of yoga we develop some disciplines like stretching, breathing and toning the muscles up, all them are necessary for any sport.

One of the objectives of Yoga is helping to free the mind. It’s not enough to reserve time for yoga if you can’t put your all into practice. It would be pointless, if the body is doing the practice while the mind is busy sorting out some other worries. If you reserve a couple of minutes a day for the development of the mind and personality, forgetting other worries and responsibilities, results will present earlier.

Young! For how long?

This morning I received an email about the water benefits, it said that the water could help to eliminate all the toxins from my body, help to the natural functions of the systems and to keep hydrated all the cells.

I was thinking about it, I was preoccupied because we have many habits that affect our body: bad nutrition habits, we sleep few hours, smoke, etc. May be I we can correct our bad habits we can keep ourselves younger for more years.


Washing the Olympics I saw that mostly of those athletes were in their twenties, that made me feel old. Having 30 years is just the second third of our life but I have always heard that physically we begin to go down, I don’t like how it sounds and prefer to think that there is an exception for this rule. I would like to investigate what do I need to keep young longer, to achieve this I need to considerate my nutrition habits, posture, exercise, sleeping, and others.

Nutrition habits are not like healthy habits, but this focuses on eating right and the habits you need to make to stay healthy. The skin reflects what we eat and the lifestyle we have, so If we begin taking care of our skin, over time we can see some results. I will say that the first step to take care of my body is by having a good nutrition.
