Yeah morning walk is very good for health. I do agree on that.
But due to the weekly commitments like going to office and school we usually skip that morning walk.
And in the holidays we say we work or go for college for 5 days a week. Why not we enjoy our holidays?
And at last at the age of 40 and 50 we put on our socks and shoes and go for morning walk with all diseases in stock.

Thanks a lot indianbaba for coming up with your thoughts. Because, I believe that each and every word matters a lot in our life. Our actions and thinking replicate each other. If we are looking at bad things most of the times, we tend to think in that direction. If we suppose always try to find out mistakes in others, we sometimes convert in a kind of person who is so harsh and troublesome with whom no one wants to spend time.

I have one of my friend who came once for a walk with me in the morning. (Hey.. i am also not regular but i do try to manage whenever possible). Yeah.. I was telling that once he came alongwith me. His comment was - look ! can you find anyone of our age walking here at this time in the morning.

And he was quite true as well. There were mostly aged people. We people at our age are so much engaged in lot many activities that we even don't find time for ourselves. When we realize, its already so late.

You start morning walk Indianbaba, if you are not doing it now. Also, lets encourage each other to achieve the common goal.

Hi Friends, I got a very informative pdf document that tells everything about Back Pain.

Chapters about "Good Postures", "Exercise" and "Tips for healthy back" is must read for all of us who spend so much time sitting in front of the machine.

Hope you would find it useful. In software industry, where people sit for a long time, we need to be careful and aware about the do's and don'ts.

Share it among your family and help others being healthy Smile

Nice to see you started a health thread, Neeraj. I found some good advice I hadn't heard of before. Moreover, I consider this an important matter - and, unfortunately, an underrated one - and I will try to give a small piece of advice as well - which is mainly about stress relief.

Apart from walking, stretching also helps relieve stress and feel better - our joints need it, too. I do it and find great pleasure in it as well.
If you have a small aquarium, try watching your fish for a few minutes every day. It is one of the most relaxing and soothing sights in the world.
Cuddling furry animals like cats and little dogs can reduce stress in a big amount. Actually, cats are used in some hospitals and have a big success in soothing down the patients before a surgery or even on a daily basis.

Just some thoughts. If anyone finds them helpful, then I'll be happy.

That's a nice point dear Kakashi-san.

Stretching is a nice thing to do especially when we are in the habit of sitting for a longer period of time. I do it and enjoy it. It relaxes our muscles and our mind works better.

Then - information about "Cuddling furry animals like cats and little dogs" is something new to me and it is quite informative. Hope people would get benefitted with that as well.

Aquarium - I am planning to get one for me for such a long time. Sometimes, I act lazy when I think of the kind of care that these small water creatures need from our side. But surely I would manage to get one soon. Thanks kakashi-san for reminding me that.

I'm glad that you found my information valuable. I just read the pack pain document and I did the exercises. The result astonished me. I feel much better and the sunrays coming through my window were a great help, too. I feel vivid and alive - at least, more than I did 20 minutes ago.

Aquariums can be very expensive - but you can always get a small one with a few money. You will only have to buy a special fishbowl with a water cleaning filter and add some fish that live in the same temperature - that is always the tricky part about fish.
Or, if you don't want a water cleaning filter, you can buy some fish called "cleaners" or something like that. They actually eat other fish's filth.

Another small piece of advice for a healthy life:
I don't remember if it was said before, but I'll say it just in case. People should get 10 minutes of direct sun exposure every morning. It causes some hormones to be produced which results in a feel of serenity and calm happiness.

If someone plants beans or lentils and waits for a day or two until the green part of the plant comes out, one can have a very healthy and nutritional salad ingredient.
I don't know the word in english, but these just-awakening-plants are very healthy and you can add a few to your salad and make it much more nutritious - actually that's because the older the plant gets, the more it loses it's nutrtional value.

That's all for now. Please keep posting in this wonderful thread.

As you know chmical released by plastic water bottles can cause cancer (It is not the water that affects you a but the chemical released from the bottle)

How to avoid: Check the bottom of the bottle there should be a triangle sign and there will be a number on it. If the number is higher than or equal to 5 --> then this bottle is safe to use. Numbers under 5 will
release the chemical. For most bottled water, the number is 1.

Remember to check and stop reusing those bottles.
