Prefer yoga than Exercise

Yoga is an art with spiritual and ascetic discipline. It gives your body fitness and strengthens your immunity. It includes breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, which is widely practised for health and relaxation. Though exercise gives you fitness and strengthens your immunity, it is quite different from yoga.


It has a lot of specific benefits compare to exercise. It increases our posture, flexibility, and mental health. The basis of yogic breathing practices lie in pranayama, or yogic breathing techniques. These techniques, which are integrated into the vast majority of yoga classes, can be amazing for restoring balance and vitality to the body and mind. Controlled breathing can increase energy levels and relax the muscles, while reducing stress, anxiety and depression. 

On a physiological level, regular yoga practice has been found to improve lung capacity and breathing, both in healthy adults and those who suffer from asthma. The fundamental purpose of yoga is to foster harmony in the body, mind, and environment. By doing yoga regularly, we can maintain our skin texture as youth whereas exercise can’t produce those results. Exercising too much can cause missed menstrual periods or make your periods stop entirely. Irregular or missed periods are more common in athletes and other women who train hard regularly, but yoga does not affect our menstrual periods. It is an energy efficient activity. Regular practice of yoga will strengthen the muscles of your arms, back, legs, and core. Even though yoga is not aerobic, some research finds it can be just as good as aerobic exercise for improving health. Those yoga postures are also helpful in Health improvement.

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 narrow straight line formed by the water bodies is called Drake Strait. The Pacific Ocean is ...

How did fruits get their names?

There is a variety of fruits in today's world. Each fruit has a name and the names are derived from foreign languages - modern and ancient. Some of these fruits have names that don't go with the fruit also. The name gooseberry has nothing to do with geese. It was originally called gorseberry. 'Gorse' in Saxton (a language spoken by early germanic people) means 'rough'. This fruit grows on a rough or thorny shrub. Just like the gooseberry, the fruit strawberry has no connection with straws. Strawberry is the changed name of 'strayberry'. The strawberry runners stray in all directions and hence the name.
