Yoga is a healthy lifestyle. One of the benefits of yoga is that you can choose a
yoga style that is suitable for your lifestyle, such as hot yoga, power yoga,
relaxation yoga, etc. Ff you are a yoga beginner.
Hatha Yoga, which focuses on basic postures at a comforable pace, would be great
for you. If you want to increase strength through using more of your own body's
resistance, Power Yoga may be right for you Whether you prefer you're at home, in
a private session, watching a DVD or at a studio or gym, there are a huge variety of
options available to suit your goals and needs. Improved flexibility is one of the
first and most obvious benefits of yoga. During your first class, you probably wort
be able to touch your wes. But if you stick with it, you'll notice a gradual
loosening, and eventually, seemingly impossible poses will become possible. Each
of the yoga poses is built to reinforce the muscles around the spine, the very center
of your body, which is the core from which everything else operates.
When the core is working properly, posture is improved, thus alleviating back,
shoulder, and neck pain. Strong muscles do more than look good. They also protect
us from conditions like antitis and back pain, and help prevent falls in elderly
people. And when you build strength through yoga, you balance it with flexibility.
If you just went to the gym and lifted weights, you might build strength at the
expense of flexibility. Yoga gets your blood flowing. More specifically, the
relaxation exercises you lear in yoga can help your circulation, especially in your
hands and feet. Yoga also gets more oxygen to your cells, which function better as
a result. Twisting poses are thought to wring out venous blood from internal org
allow oxygenated blood to flow in once the twist is released. Many studies found
that a consistent practice improved depression and led to greater levels of
happiness and better immune function.

Read the passage and decide if each sentence is true (T) or false (F). Tick your
choice (T or F).
Teenagers are often very busy with school, work, and sports schedules. Help your
teenager plan his day if he cannot be home for meals. Send healthy snacks or
packed lunches with him. This will help him avoid filling up on "junk" foods or
high fat foods. They may need extra snacks to take with them or meals they can
prepare quickly. Your teenager still learns from your healthy eating habits. Be an
example and praise his good food choices whenever you can. Never criticise the
way your child looks at this time of life. Teenagers can easily become too worried
about their body image. If they are eating too much or too little, it can affect their
growth. Talk with your doctor if you are worried about your teenager's eating
habits.
Give your teenager at least one serving per day of a high vitamin C food. Examples
are citrus fruits and juices, tomatoes, potatoes, and green peppers. Your teenager
also needs one serving per day of a high vitamin A food. This includes spinach,
winter squash, carrots, or sweet potatoes. Choose lean meats, fish, and poultry
foods for your teenager. They are a source of proteins young people need in the
period of growth. Also, give your teenager 2% milk and low-fat dairy foods. Avoid
fried foods and high fat desserts; serve them only on special occasions. This will
lower his risk for heart disease when he is older.

Parents should help their busy teenage children with planing their

Fried foods and high fat desserts are very important in the
