Regular Exercise extends your Life Span

A new research study revealed that as little as 15 minutes of exercise daily can extend your life span by as much as three years

Taiwanese researchers surveyed more than 400,000 study applicants in a 12-year period, where patients self-reported their weekly workout routine and were then categorized in one of the five groups: inactive, low, medium, high or very high exercise routine. 

The research revealed that individuals in the low-exercise group, who spent minimum of 15 minutes on fitness per day, reduced their risk of dying by 10 per cent and had a three-year longer life expectancy than the inactive group. More exercise led to greater life gains. Every added 15 minutes of daily exercise further reduced all-cause death rates by 4%. 

Exercise reduces disease and death dramatically for all major progressive diseases. According to a study involving over 13,000 participants cited by Ray Kurzweil in The Future of Aging, the overall death rate for moderate exercisers was 60% less than the sedentary group–and the high fitness group scored much better. Yet some 70% of Americans do not participate in any type of physical activity.


Exercise is critical to help dodge or reduce diabetes as well as most other diseases. According to the American Diabetes Association, exercising moderately for only thirty minutes a day coupled with a 5-10% reduction in body weight resulted in an astonishing 58% reduction in diabetes.

Holiday Time– Keep Technology Away

21st century is an age where our businesses cannot be run without computers and cell phones. Even when we want to take a break from work & retreat on a holiday, we tend to stay linked to our work, thanks to one thing that has transformed our lives– technology.

There are not many of us who can disagree to the fact that we have a habit of checking emails or social networking sites even when we are on a holiday. According to a recent study, it was found that more than 63% of working professionals went operational during their vacation and only about 15% of them could stay away from using the internet during their vacation

Here are a few pointers you can follow in order to make your holiday pleasurable:
  • Keep the phone away– Carry your phones with you only when necessary. Try not to use your phone when you are out exploring, doing something wild or just chilling at the beach. 
  • Clear your mailbox– Clear your office mailbox before you leave for your holiday. Flag important communications or forward them to a coworker who can keep an eye on them on your behalf while you are gone. 
  • Set up the Vacation Auto Response– Fix up your automatic reply declaring that you are on holiday so that individuals will not presume that you would answer back. 
  • No Gadgets– Keep all your internet gadgets away like laptops and smart phones. Switch your smart phone for a simple phone that cannot link to the internet.
The greatest thing to do is to go out and enjoy! Odds are that the more you enjoy, the less you feel the need to stay connected to your work. So scrap away the stress and enjoy your vacation.

Jiyo Life with Music.

William Shakespeare, the most celebrated dramatist in recorded history says that,“If music be the food of love, then play on”. Music is food for the soul. If everything else fails, music can still be your loyal companion and help raise your spirits. There are songs for every known human emotion which can help people identify themselves with the lyrics and help them have a good time.
Music comes out of the of the inherent human endeavour to find resonance with people and surroundings. Musicians are human beings too, and hence they weave their experiences into their music so that people may identify and appreciate life and rise above all its irritations.The musical field is very diverse and hence people have a large variety of genres to listen to. You may like Indian classical or western popular songs but you are still just submitting to a deeper desire for resonance. How many times have you not felt depressed and and have turned on the stereo to the a song which comforts and soothes you? Ditto for the times that when you felt so happy that you decided only a song can help you express your happiness. Music has infinite power over human beings which can be used for good of the people. Music binds and connects people. Listening to your favourite songs with your friends helps you all come closer and for old friends, kicks in nostalgia of good times that everyone has cherished. Melodies are the strings that bind us together.

Whenever you feel stressful or just down, put on your favourite song and let it take over you and overwhelm you. Life is all about being in tune with all your feelings and emotions and what better and pleasurable way than to get lost in the enchanting world of song.Pick up an instrument and learn to play melodies and your favourite songs or just sing whenever you get the time. It is never too late to learn and it will be a good stress-buster. Jiyo life to the fullest with this wonderful world of symphony.
