8 Pressure Points That Will Reduce Your Stress in Seconds

We all have our ways of dealing with stress. Some people escape to a sunny beach, some prefer a nice glass of wine, and others even do their best to ignore it. Each way has its advantages (and sometimes disadvantages), but we can’t always do what helps at the exact moment we need to. This is where pressure points become a quick and effective long-term solution. Pressure points are areas in the body that can trigger various effects in our bodies and minds when pressure is applied to them.
The Scalp

The Scalp is full of pressure points, many that can effectively and discretely reduce stress levels. You can sit at your office desk, lean back and use two fingers to massage the point where the neck meets the skull for about 20 seconds. Much of the stress we accumulate during the day collects in the shoulders and neck muscles, and applying pressure to this point can relieve much of it.
The Ear

This pressure point is known as Shen Men (The Spirit Gate), and some experts claim it’s the best stress-relieving point in the body. In reflexology, it’s also used to reduce inflammation and pain throughout the body. It’s recommended that you massage this spot with a cotton bud or even a pen, and to take deep, slow breaths during the massage.

Stress can make us forget to breathe, or take shallow breaths. This point helps reduce the stress that accumulates in your chest, while reminding you to breathe normally again. Use three fingers to massage this point, or one finger to tap rhythmically on the area while taking deep breaths. If you experience chronic stress, combine massaging this point with the point between your eyebrows. The connection between these two points helps to calm the nervous system.
The Stomach

Many reflexologists prefer to use this point because it helps create movement that frees the chest and diaphragm, which improves the breathing process. Patients who have this treatment instinctively take deeper breaths and almost always report a sensation or relief.
The Forearm

This is a classic spot for reflexology and acupuncture. Stress and anxiety create reverse energy flow in the body, which this spot is supposed to repair. It helps your energy to move in the right direction while aiding your mental focus and reducing stress.
The Palm

The moment you press on this spot, you’ll feel your stress evaporating. It is located on one of the most important meridians (an energy channel), which affects the heart, liver, and pancreas. It is believed that much of the stress we experience is stored in the liver, so applying pressure on this point is highly effective. It is also a great spot for treating headaches, stomachaches, indigestion, and insomnia – all of which could be symptoms of stress.
The Calves

If you feel stress in the upper part of your body, massaging this spot is perfect. The area could be quite tender in people who deal with a lot of stress, and in women in particular.
The Foot

Pressure on this point can help ease a stressed mind that keeps rethinking whatever it is that causes your stress. Some reflexologists believe that this is the best meridian for treating the pancreas and that its location, in the center of the foot, helps patients reduce stress and provide better attention to their bodies.BEST ASTROLOGER +919445548316

7 Step Breathing Techniques Of Pranayama Yoga!

7 Step Breathing Techniques Of Pranayama Yoga!
Many of us may be uninspired to practice yoga in daily life, wary of the complicated postures and the fact that it cannot be learnt properly unless instructed by a yoga master. These 7 steps of Pranayama, however, are simple, quick and can be easily practiced. The whole procedure takes only 45 min, though it can be extended according to one’s comfort. Rise early, bathe, wear loose and comfortable clothes, sit down on the floor; straight backed and erect, in the cozy comfort of your home and get going.

Step 1: Bhastrika pranayama

Breathe in through both the nostrils, till the lungs are full and diaphragm is stretched. Then breathe out gently. Take deep breaths and then completely breathe out. Continue for 2-5 min. One page is insufficient to elucidate the benefits of deep breathing, which most of us already know very well. The influx of oxygen refreshes the muscles and prepares the body for exercise. While doing this, I also felt myself drifting into a calm meditative temperament, which eased my stress and tension.

Step 2: Kapal Bhati Pranayama

Steady your breathing and while exhaling, sharply push the air out forcefully. Relax. Inhaling takes place on its own as the stomach distends back to normal. Repeat at least 30 times or up to a minute for starters. Later you may advance to 5-10 min. By the end of a kapal bhati session, I could already feel my abdominals and throat tightened. Initially my sneezing problem got aggravated by Kapal Bhati so I had to keep a handkerchief at close quarters. But with practice, this technique works wonders for respiratory problems and blocked nose. It is tricky and it takes a little time to master it. Baba Ramdev has said that this pranayama is an all in one cure & that it helps alleviate obesity, gastrointestinal diseases, uterus problems, diabetes, cholesterol, allergies, asthma, snoring, and aids concentration. However, it is contraindicated for hypertension and heart patients.

Step 3: Bahaya Pranayama

Breathe air out completely, touch your chin to your chest, squeeze your stomach fully and hold this position for a while. A tip is to hold your breath while you let your stomach contract. Then release your chin and breathe in slowly. Repeat the process 3-5 times. You may advance gradually up to 20 repetitions. It is claimed to heal hernia, stomach ailments, uterus prolapse and all urinary and prostate problems. You may feel some pain in the upper part of the sternum or have some difficulty in holding your breath, when you’re starting off with pranayama. Again, people with hypertension and heart problems should avoid this step.

Step 4: Anulom Vilom Pranayama

It is probably the simplest step; at least it was so for me. Hold your right nostril with thumb and breathe in from the left. Now release the thumb and exhale from the right nostril while closing the left nostril with the middle and ring finger. Breathe in from right nostril. Now close it with your thumb as described previously and exhale from the left nostril. Easy? Repeat the steps for a duration of 10 min. Make sure you expand your chest while breathing, and not the stomach. Do this step slowly and do not hurry.

Step 5: Bharamari Pranayama

Close ears with thumb, with the index finger on the forehead, and the rest three on the base of the nose touching the eyes. Breathe in completely and deeply. Now breathe out through nose while humming like a bee. Repeat it for 10 min. It alleviates tension, hypertension, heart ailments, paralysis, migraine, and improves confidence & concentration.

Step 6: Udggeth Pranayama

Inhalation and exhalation should be long, slow, soft and subtle. Inhale slowly and when ready to exhale, chant Om slowly and steadily. With practice, lengthen the entire procedure to last one minute or more. Visualize the breath entering and moving inside the body. Repeat for 10 min. This is good for insomnia, deepening the quality of sleep and relieving nightmares. It helps you focus steadfast on to any task at hand. For me, it improved my Kabaddi playing!

Step 7: Pranav pranayama

Close your eyes and sit quietly. Breathe in naturally for 2-3 min or more. At this point, your body has prepared your mind for a tranquil meditative posture. Revel in the feeling and realize your spiritual calling. This delightful end result is the gift of the above 6 steps.

Pranayama is best practiced early in the morning when the air is still fresh and the stomach empty. Some people have even harnessed this science and art to lose weight. Who knows what it may do for you!

8 Health Benefits of Mushrooms!

There are roughly 140,000 species of mushrooms in the world, but science is only familiar with around 10%, while only around 100 species or so are being studied for their potential health benefits and medicinal applications. Below are 9 of the most well-known health benefits of the humble, but delicious mushroom.
alt

1. Lowers Cholesterol Levels

Mushrooms provide you with lean proteins since they have no cholesterol or fat and are low in carbohydrates. The fiber and enzymes in mushrooms also help to lower cholesterol levels. Furthermore, the high lean protein found in them helps to burn cholesterol when they’re digested. Having balanced levels of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol) is essential for preventing cardiovascular diseases such as artherosclerosis, strokes, and heart attacks.

2. Prevents Anemia

 Anemic patients have low levels of iron in their blood, resulting in headaches, fatigue, reduced neural function, and digestive issues. Mushrooms are a great source of iron, and over 90% of the nutritive value can be absorbed by the body, which promotes the formation of red blood cells and keeps you healthy and functioning at your full potential.

3. Prevents Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer
alt
Mushrooms are highly effective at preventing breast and prostate cancer thanks to the significant presence of beta-glucans and conjugated linoleic acid, which have anti-carcinogenic effects. Out of these two, linoleic acid helps to suppress the harmful effects of excess estrogen. This increase in estrogen is one of the prime causes for breast cancer in women after menopause. On the other hand, the beta glucans inhibit the growth of cancer cells in the prostrate.

4. Helps Diabetics

Mushrooms are an ideal low-energy food for diabetics. They have no fat, no cholesterol, low levels of carbohydrates, a high protein content, and numerous vitamins and minerals. They also contain a lot of fiber and water. Furthermore, they contain natural insulin and enzymes which help to break down sugar and starch in food. They are also known to contain certain compounds which help the liver, pancreas, and other endocrine glands to function properly, thereby promoting the formation of insulin and its proper regulation throughout the body.

5. Improves Bone Health

Mushrooms are full of calcium, which is an essential nutrient when it comes down to the formation and strengthening of bones. A continual supply of calcium in your diet can reduce your chances of developing conditions such as osteoporosis, and can also reduce joint pain and the lack of mobility that is often associated with bone degradation.
6. Helps with Nutrient Absorption
alt
Vitamin D is a rare vitamin to find in vegetables, but mushrooms, which are technically a fungus, have plenty of it. This essential vitamin can facilitate the absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphorous. They also contain these two nutrients, so the combined effect of having all these nutrients in one powerful source makes it a great idea to eat mushrooms whenever possible.

7. Strengthens the Immune System

Ergothioneine, a powerful antioxidant that can be found in mushrooms, helps to boost the immune system. It also helps to eradicate free radicals, which are the dangerous compounds that are released during the metabolic processes of cells, and can cause diseases such as cancer. Furthermore, mushrooms contain natural antibiotics that inhibit microbial growth and other fungal infections. And, if this wasn’t enough, the vitamins A, B, and C that are found in mushrooms help to strengthen the immune system further.

8. Helps to Reduce Blood Pressure

Mushrooms are high in potassium, a vasodilator that relaxes tension in the blood vessels which reduces blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause heart attacks and strokes. Furthermore, potassium also increases cognitive function because increased blood and oxygen can flow to the brain.

9. Contains Plenty of Selenium

The selenium content of mushrooms is one of their most beneficial elements that is often overlooked. The main source of selenium is animal proteins; however, due to their classification as a fungus that feeds off animal and plant matter, mushrooms are the best way for vegetarians to obtain the necessary amount of selenium. Selenium helps to strengthen bones, teeth, nails, and hair. Furthermore, this nutrient is a powerful antioxidant, which helps the body get rid of free radicals that could potentially cause cancer.
