I have been reading the latest on breath exercises and how to improve health with just a few adjustments to how we inhale and exhale. I will be offering sessions on this to my clients.

These days it is mesmerizing to view the contradictions gripping society — mostly in the form of liberal thinking and activism. As an Indian, I can relate closely to the contradictions afflicting India and how the ‘Western / ized’ liberals spew nonsense about everything they know nothing of. I feel angry about all those ‘hole in the butts’ who stand in the way of anything the Modi government does for India’s progress but whose own children and grandchildren will eventually benefit immensely from everything being done now. Some of it I can ascribe to their lack of education (thanks to

Today’s election results (13/12/2019, exit poll based) in the UK are a stark reminder to us all that democracy in the form it is practiced now — representative democracy — is dead. A buffoon will now be Prime Minister of Britain for 5 years. The only reason for his victory is the absolute joker who leads the Labour Party. This joker did not take a stand on the most important issue of the day — Brexit — and took his party to the extreme left over the last 5 years. And the people in the country have paid the price

To start off, let me spout some terminology that will help decipher the framework that I am going to describe here. With any situation, there are 3 key elements – in my opinion: The worst that can happen [TWTCH] in the situation Best outcome for you [BOFY] Worst outcome for you [WOFY] If TWTCH is better than or equal to BOFY, stop worrying about the situation If TWTCH is in between BOFY and WOFY, you should try force it as close to your BOFY as possible IF TWTCH is worse than your WOFY, you should do your best to force

Please watch this video when you have 20 minutes to spare. Dr. Mark Mattson talks about how fasting helps you control/ reverse Type 2 Diabetes and improve your thinking.

And you can learn to think positively even when you are in a bad situation. There are 8 specific skills that you need to train yourself on for this (Judith T. Moskowitz, a professor of medical social sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, developed a set of eight skills to help foster positive emotions): Recognize a positive event each day. Savor that event and log it in a journal or

Age should not be the deciding factor when you think about exercise. Many people who led a sedentary life start becoming active post retirement. Over a period of time, health and fitness improve even if you started late. There is the French cyclist who never used to exercise before retirement, but started cycling around town once he started having time to himself, is now going about setting records in cycling at 105 years of age! (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/08/well/move/lessons-on-aging-well-from-a-105-year-old-cyclist.html). More than age, it is persistence (or the lack there of) that determines fitness in the over 60s. It is proven that even with

Watch your calories whenever you have a meal. Each gram of carbohydrate or protein is 4 calories while a gram of fat is 9 calories.

Now, make yourself a cup of coffee, and sit down in a place where you can write
