YOGA BEATS COFFEE

In the morning, we tend to feel drowsy because the oxygen level in our blood is low and our circulation is naturally slower as we emerge from sleep. Because coffee is a stimulant, there’s no question that it wakes you up- but it also lets you down after a few hours.

Yoga, on the other hand, revitalizes your body and mind with out the “caffeine crash”. And it won’t damage your nervous system, heart and adrenal glands the way caffeine does. When you wake up go outside and do a few asanas (yoga exercises) with deep breathing.

The oxygen from the fresh air will wake up and energize your body while the increased circulation will leave you feeling bright and alert. So instead of stumbling into the coffee club, roll out your mat on the back porch- or just open a window- and practice yoga. For an afternoon pick-me-up, get outside, stretch, and breathe deeply for a few minutes.

Having trouble trying to breathe?

Many air borne pollutants can have a irritating effect on our lungs which can lead to inflammation that may trigger bronchitis and asthma-like-symptoms.
According to a study by the US National institute of Health, people who ate the most apples were 33per cent less likely to have chronic phlegmy cough than those who ate the least. It has been shown that the pectin and antioxidants in the peel of an apple can reduced inflammation in the lungs.
