As popular as body hair removal has become, it is also one of the biggest challenges that most people have to face. Some of the reasons for this are because even though there are so many methods and tools on the market to effectively remove body hair, none of them can really remove hair permanently, are quite painful, can be a little messy, or can be a little to very expensive.

However, without dwelling too much on the negative aspects of body hair removal, many of the methods and tools above are quite effective as well as allow each individual to choose a tool or method that they feel the most comfortable with.

Some people feel that they are willing to put up with the pain of waxing unwanted hair off their bodies because the effects are by far longer lasting than shaving, which generally has to be done on a daily basis. Others on the other hand don’t like the pain associated with waxing, yet still want to have unwanted hair off their bodies for long periods of time. These types of people therefore don’t mind paying the high prices of laser hair removal which is a method that can effectively keep hair of the body for very long periods of time.

With every method and tool that has been created to remove body hair, there will be pros and cons.

What ever route you take, make sure that it is the most comfortable method and that the after effects are not disappointing. After all, we all know what a pain it is to have ingrown hairs or razor burns.

The Triangle - (Trikonasana)

Trikanasana is also known as The Triangle pose. The Sanskrit word ‘tri’ means three and ‘kona’ means corner or angle, hence the name. When you look at this pose you can easily notice why this name has been given to this asana. From the completed posture the body forms three angles; the legs form one, the arm extended down and the body forms another, and the arm extended upward and the head and neck form the third.

In our ordinary day-to-day life the side stretch is the least common movement. We twist, we bend back or forward, but except that we do not often bend our spine to the side, and that’s why the Triangle is one of the most important postures in yoga practice.

The Triangle gives an excellent lateral stretch to the spine, toning the spinal nerves and improving balance and concentration. The muscles of the thighs, calves, hamstring, knees and ankles are stretched, promoting flexibility in the hips and legs.

This asana strengthens the pelvic area and tones the reproductive organs. It massages and strengthens the thyroid glands, kidneys and the adrenal glands to function in a better way. It stimulates the abdominal organs and improves digestion.

Regular practice of Triangle will help reduce waistline fat.

Important: Do not let your hip tilt outward or forward or you will lose the valuable stretch.

The Triangle pose practiced safely is a very beneficial asana; however, there are some health conditions in which this posture should be avoided.

Three important reasons not to do Triangle:

1) Anyone suffering from back condition should not practice this pose.

2) If you are having headaches avoid doing this asana.

3) In case of having diarrhea do not attempt this pose.

Caution: Always check with your doctor if you have any doubts or concerns regarding the suitability of this pose for you.

For Beginners: As a beginner you most probably will support the weight of the torso with one of your arm, forearm and the hand and the torso can remain relaxed. The importance of this pose is to learn how to come out of it without hurting yourself. When you decide to come up the weight of your upper body will have to be supported only by your internal muscles, which may not be ready for the effort. That’s why the safe way to come out of the Triangle is by tightening the muscles of your legs, thighs and hips, which will recruit more muscles in the pelvis and torso.

Yoga Joins Individual With Devine

The word Yoga belongs to Sanskrit language. It is derived from the root word, ‘Yuj’ which means “to join”. Probably this is what the Yoga Practices in the present century suggests to. That is to join the individual with the divine!

Yoga has several definitions. Its functions and character can be defined in hundreds of ways. One of the short and meaningful definitions of yoga is “Efficiency in work is yoga.”

As for the action-oriented explanation of yoga, any action that you do with the motivated desire is not yoga because its results are impermanent! Action done with a pure mind, with total surrender, without worrying over the fruits of actions is yoga.

Every action has a reaction. And the intensity of the reaction is in proportion to the intensity of the action! Even the scientists agree on this principle. One of the rare agreements between the scientists and the spiritualists! Normally, the two opposing forces- the two contending forces!

When you understand this fundamental principle, why worry over the results of your actions? Why worry over the matter, over which you should not worry at all!

Patanjali, one of the most revered Sages of India, is the father of Yoga. He wrote the immortal book, based on his practical experiences and the divine vision! His writings and practice have found worldwide acceptance now! He wrote the book about 2500 years ago!

Yoga has the body aspect, the mind aspect and the beyond the mind aspect, which is also known as the transcendental level! This level could only be experienced by an individual. It can’t be explained by words!

Sage Patanjali has mentioned eight sutras: They are: Yama, Niyama,Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhui.

The asanas refer to various physical postures. This aspect of Patanjali’s yoga has become very popular in India as well as abroad! According to the claims, there is no disease that can not be cured by practicing these asanas. If you practice some specific asanas, no disease will ever come near to you.

The last sutra, Samadhi is the supreme goal of the individual. There is nothing beyond to achieve for a human being. It is “be all and end all.”

You need to learn these asanas from a qualified teacher. Some of the asanas are difficult physical postures, and if done without proper knowledge about their intricacies may cause more damage. Start slowly, and do the asanas in accordance with your physical capacity!

All your problems of the modern industrialized civilization such as stress, tension, confusion, blood pressure and all negative tendencies will leave from the back door, once you come into the thick of yoga! They will never return, they will go for ever!

Have you heard about coconut oil yet? People are adding coconut oil to their diets and are getting incredible results. They are losing weight, getting more energy, and getting healthier. Coconut oil is safe to use, and does not turn to fat in your body. It raises the metabolism, so you burn more fat and have more energy. It does not increase your cholesterol, but actually helps lower it. Coconut oil is wonderful diet addition for just about everyone.

Coconut oil is full of healthy benefits. Next to mother’s milk, it is nature’s highest source of medium chain fatty acids (MTC’s), which raise the body’s metabolism, leading to weight loss. It has fatty acids such as lauric acid and monoglycerides, similar to mother’s breast milk.

When lauric acid is consumed in the body, whether through mother’s milk or coconut oil, it enhances the immune system to help the body fight infections, diseases, bad bacteria and yeast invasions. Lauric aid is known to be anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial.

Coconut oil raises the metabolism, which helps people who are trying to lose weight and people suffering from thyroid problems. Coconut stabilizes the blood sugar levels, helping with diabetes. It also protects the heart cells from damage.

Coconut oil helps relieve the symptoms of menopause, and pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS). Many women who suffer the effects of PMS have found the symptoms lessened when coconut oil was consumed often in their diet.

Coconut oil does not raise cholesterol. Studies have shown that people who use coconut oil have lower cholesterol than those who do not, even when the people consuming coconut also eat other high cholesterol foods like eggs and meat.

Coconut oil smells good, tastes pleasant and is so good for our bodies that some people consume it straight, by the tablespoon, and use it in place of other oils on their salads. Many people also use it as an ingredient when juicing or making smoothies.

If all this good news isn’t enough, coconut oil one of the best things you can apply directly on your skin and hair. It not only gives temporary relief to skin problems like rashes, but it aids in healing and restoring skin to a younger appearance. It has also been known to help with people who suffer from yeast infections in the skin, and there is solid research that shows the MCTs in coconut oil do overcome yeast infections. Coconut oil also makes an excellent massage oil.

If you eat foods with strong odors like garlic or onions you basically have to wait until the foods have passed through your body before the odor is completely gone. You can mask it with brushing and mouthwash to cover up the odor temporarily. All food you eat begins the breaking down process in your mouth. As food digests and is absorbed into the bloodstream, it is eventually carried to the lungs and given off in your breath.

Poor dental hygiene habits promote bacteria growth between teeth, around the gums and on the tongue, which causes bad breath. If you don?t brush and floss your teeth daily, the food particles that remain in your mouth begins to promote bacteria growth on teeth, gums and the tongue. If dentures are not properly cleaned, bacteria and food particles can cause bad breath.
Other unhealthy lifestyles that include smoking or chewing tobacco-based products can cause bad breath, stain the teeth and irritate gum tissues.

Health problems associated with bad breath include:

?Gum or periodontal disease
?Poorly fitting dental appliances
?Yeast infections of the mouth
?Dental cavities
?Dry mouth (dry mouth may be caused by side effects of medications, salivary gland problems or continuous breathing through the mouth)
?Respiratory tract infections like pneumonia or bronchitis
?Chronic sinus infections
?Postnasal drip
?Diabetes
?Chronic acid reflux
?Liver or kidney problems

Tips on how to prevent or reduce bad breath include:

?Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and brush after you eat
?Always brush your tongue
?Replace toothbrush every 2 to 3 months
?Use floss or interdental cleaner to remove food particles and plaque between your teeth once a day
?Remove dentures at night and clean thoroughly before placing in your mouth the next morning
?See your dentist at least twice a year.
?Stop smoking/chewing tobacco-based products
?Drink lots of water to keep your mouth moist
?Chew cinnamon flavored, sugar free gum (read the food label for the ingredient Xylitol. Studies show Xylitol in sugar free gum can help to destroy the bacteria in your mouth and give you that just brushed clean feeling as well. The flavor ?cinnamon? has also been shown in some studies to be the best flavor to combat against bad breath.
?Mouthwashes you buy over-the-counter generally provide a temporary way to mask unpleasant mouth odor. There are some antiseptic brands of mouth-rinse products that do help kill the germs that cause bad breath. Ask your dentist which product is best for you.

In most cases your dentist can find and treat the cause of bad breath. If your dentist determines the odor is due to gum disease you may be referred to a periodontist. A periodontist specializes in treating gum conditions. If the dentist finds your mouth to be healthy you may be referred to a family physician, internist or some other specialist to determine the odor source and an appropriate treatment plan.

Excessive facial and body hair is currently considered as unattractive on both women and men, so laser hair removal has become quite popular. In spite of the dangers involved with laser hair removal, people of all backgrounds are using it to remove unwanted hair on their face, arms, back, legs, chest, and anywhere else that you can think of. Information about laser hair removal are available all over the Internet and on certain magazines.

This beauty enhancing treatment is often offered at discount rates to entice people to try this treatment, but it is not without risks. One of the biggest risks of laser hair removal is the excessive use of lidocaine as an anesthetic. Laser hair removal can be an extremely painful procedure; therefore people often need pain-dulling cream to reduce the pain involved.

Many people are allergic to this cream, and even if they are not; they are still exposed to danger. Excessive use of lidocaine can lead to double vision, difficult breathing, and in worst cases, death. People who are not adequately informed of the possible dangers will not be able to decide to cancel their treatment due to potential life threatening dangers.

Nevertheless, despite of the potential dangers involved, laser hair removal also offers some advantages. One of the best things about this treatment is the convenience. If you are unhappy with your body hair, there is no other alternative besides waxing, which is very painful.

Shaving is also a solution, but this is not applicable to back hair problems that make many men feel insecure. A few sessions of laser hair removal will get rid of your hair problems once and for all. There will be no more need to shave, wax, or apply any cream again, and so in the long run this treatment can save you time and money.

The Bridge - (Setu Bandhasana)

The Bridge pose is also known as Setu Bandhasana, which means construction of a bridge. In this posture, the whole body forms an arch which is supported at one end by the crown of the head and at the other on the feet, hence the name.

When the Bridge is performed immediately after the Plough pose it acts as a gentle counter pose to complement the benefits of Shoulderstand (Sarvangasana) and the Plough (Halasana). It releases any tension that may have built up in the thoracic (part from the neck to waist) and lumbar (lower part of the back) regions of the spine while practicing the two previous asanas.

Tightness in the back and spine results from poor posture, stress and a sedentary lifestyle. This pose is a wonderful way to ease tension in the shoulders, upper and in the lower back. The Bridge can reverse the strain of sitting at a desk or computer all day. It will help to pull back the shoulders, which may tend to roll forward while sitting.

Unlike many backbends, this asana can be hold for longer period of time without risking injury to the lower back, because the back is protected by the working of strong leg muscles.

This asana strengthen the back, arms, shoulders, buttocks and thighs, promoting flexibility of the spine. It strengthens arches of the feet, ankles, hamstrings (tendon behind the knee) and triceps (large muscle at the back of the upper arm) and it rejuvenates tired legs. The Bridge stretches the chest and the neck. It opens the heart and lungs, stimulates the abdominal organs and regulates the thyroid and endocrine system. It increases blood circulation.

Note: The Bridge is a good preparatory posture for the Wheel pose.

Although the Bridge posture is a safe and excellent asana with huge benefits, there are some health conditions in which this pose should not be practice.

Three important reasons (out of many) not to do the Bridge:

1) If you have any problem with your knees avoid practicing this pose as it is places a lot of tension on the knees.

2) In case of neck, shoulder or spinal injury this pose should be avoided.

3) Not advised in a last trimester of a pregnancy (6-9 months).

Caution: Always check with your doctor if you have any doubts or concerns regarding the suitability of this pose for you.
