Ayurveda: 15 Ayurvedic Tips For Reducing Electromagnetic Toxicity
SVA (Shaka Vansya Ayurveda) recognizes the detrimental effects of over exposure to EMF. This toxin called Indra Vajra Abhinjaya Visha (The Poison of God's Thunderbolt) is in abundance today. Even low constant levels of exposure can create nervousness, inability to concentrate, insomnia, odd sensations in the body and disrupt our biological rhythms.
Here are some tips to cope up with this modern day toxin.
1. Walk under moonlight, especially when the moon is full or near full.
2. Lay down on the earth: Clean sand or clay soil is the best.
3. Walk near water or under big, green trees.
4. Hug & hold a tree. Put your chest (heart area) against the trunk.
5. Rinse your face with cool water three to six times per day.
6. Apply a narrow strip of cheese cloth covered in Vaidya Mishra's skin clay across the eyes and temples before bedtime. (Clay should go on outside of the cheese cloth).
7. Give yourself a Facial Marma treatment before going to bed with Lalita Age-Defying Facial Cream.
8. Keep plants near the computer to absorb EMF.
9. Don't keep any electronic devices in the bedroom.
10. Stop TV and computer after 7 PM.
11. Spray Blissful Awakening spray in the air around the computer every 2 -3 hours when working on computer.
12. Rub or spray Supersport mist on the hands and inhale the aroma every 2- 3 hours when working at computer.
13. Take a break every 2 hours and go outside in the fresh air.
14. Unplug electronic devices and turn them off when not using. This is especially important for cell phones and computers in the bedroom at night. Turn off wireless routers at night while sleeping.
15. Drink good alkaline spring water while working on computer.
Mental Attitude: Hope for Lonely Seniors.
Lonely, older adults with higher levels of cortisol and c-reactive protein (CRP) in their blood are at greater risk for stress and inflammation related diseases (such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease). However, a new study has found that lonely senior citizens can decrease their cortisol and CRP levels by maintaining a positive outlook on life and by not blaming themselves for their problems.

Health Alert: Fast-Tracked Drugs!
A recent study tracked a total of 434 new active substances (NASs) approved by Health Canada between 1995 and 2010. The NASs were then compared to see whether a difference in safety existed between those that had gone through Health Canada's standard 300-day review period vs. the 180-day priority process. Drugs streamed into Health Canada's accelerated review process are 15% more likely to be withdrawn from the market or to earn a serious safety warning.

Diet: Happiness and Mental Health.
Happiness and mental health are highest among people who eat 7 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Mental wellbeing appeared to rise with the number of daily portions of fruit and vegetables people consumed. Wellbeing peaked at seven portions a day. In Britain today, a quarter of the population eat just one portion or no portions of fruit and vegetables per day. Only a tenth of the British population currently consume the magic number of seven or more daily portions.

Exercise: Just A Few Minutes.
Participants who peddled a stationary bike as hard as possible at the highest resistance for 30 seconds, followed by 4 minutes of peddling at slow speeds with little resistance (5 rounds), burned as many as 200 calories despite only vigorously exercising for 2.5 minutes. For many people who want to be in better shape, a large chunk of time spent in an effort to work out is an annoying turn-off. This new finding could make exercise reasonable for potential fitness buffs by squeezing intense efforts into a smaller time slot.
