Why physical activities is important?Benefits of regular physical activity

If you are regularly physically active, you may:
  • reduce your risk of a heart attack 
  • manage your weight better 
  • have a lower blood cholesterol level 
  • lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and some cancers 
  • have lower blood pressure 
  • have stronger bones, muscles and joints and lower risk of developing osteoporosis 
  • lower your risk of falls 
  • recover better from periods of hospitalisation or bed rest 
  • feel better – with more energy, a better mood, feel more relaxed and sleep better.

A healthier state of mind
A number of studies have found that exercise helps depression. There are many views as to how exercise helps people with depression:
  • Exercise may block negative thoughts or distract you from daily worries. 
  • Exercising with others provides an opportunity for increased social contact. 
  • Increased fitness may lift your mood and improve your sleep patterns. 
  • Exercise may also change levels of chemicals in your brain, such as serotonin, endorphins and stress hormones.  

Aim for at least 30 minutes a day 
To maintain health and reduce your risk of health problems, health professionals and researchers recommend a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most, preferably all, days.

WHY ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEAN ARE NOT MIXED?

Nearly 72% of the earth is filled with water and it is present with different names- oceans, seas, rivers. Why are they named differently? There are five oceans namely Artic ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian ocean and Antarctic ocean . All the oceans are different in their physical and biological character called ocean clines. When we look at the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean junction, they do not mix. Is there any invisible Wall in between them? Many scientists have conducted research to solve this mystery. The Atlantic and Pacific Ocean have different chemical composition. The salinity of the water in the Atlantic Ocean is five times more than the Pacific Ocean. The density of water is also different, so even marine animals in Atlantic Ocean will not go to the Pacific Ocean. They cannot survive in other oceans. Atlantic and Pacific Ocean meet at Cape Horn. The narrow straight line formed by the water bodies is called Drake Strait. The Pacific Ocean is ...

The Chemical Lake

 Spotted Lake or Lake khiluk in Canada is richly concentrated with various minerals. It contains dense deposits of magnesium sulfate, calcium, and sodium sulfates. It also contains high concentrations of eight other minerals and lower amounts of silver and titanium. Most of the water in the lake evaporates over the summer, revealing colorful mineral deposits. Large ‘spots’ on the lake appear and are colored according to the mineral composition and seasonal amount of precipitation. Magnesium sulfate, which crystallizes in the summer, is a major contributor to spot color.  Originally known to the First Nations of the Okanagan Valley (Native American Tribe) as Khiluk, Spotted Lake was for centuries and remains revered as a sacred site thought to provide therapeutic waters. It is the most mineralized lake in the world. Each spot holds a different cure due to the unique chemical content found within each puddle. Lake Khiluk is considered a saline endorheic alkali lake. The Okanag...

Why Artificial Intelligence is important in Future

  Why AI is important :  As per the survey , 84% of businesses are moving towards an AI enabled ecosystem to sustain in the competitive world.Artificial intelligence is impacting the future of virtually every industry and every human being. Artificial intelligence has acted as the main driver of emerging technologies like big data, robotics and IoT, and it will continue to act as a technological innovator for the foreseeable future.  In the long term, an important question is what will happen if the quest for strong AI succeeds and an ecosystem becomes better than humans at all cognitive tasks. As pointed out by I.J.Good in 1965, designing smarter systems is itself a cognitive task. Such a system could potentially undergo recursive self improvement triggering an intelligence explosion leaving human intellect far behind. By inventing revolutionary new technologies such a superintelligence might help us eradicate war , disease and poverty and so the creation of strong AI mi...
