Introduction Long ago, the Vindhya mountains began growing taller and taller every day. They became so huge that they even threatened to overshadow the mighty Himalayas and block the sun’s path across the sky. The cosmic gods grew worried. If the mountains kept growing, they could disrupt the balance of the entire universe. But the gods couldn’t stop them. The Vindhyas refused to listen to anyone. They wouldn’t bow to authority or accept any requests; they simply kept rising, proud and powerful. Now, the one person the Vindhyas deeply respected was their guru, the sage Agastya. He was their teacher and held in high reverence. So, the gods turned to Agastya and asked for his help. Agastya visited the mountains. The moment the Vindhyas saw him, they humbly bowed down to greet him, full of admiration. Agastya smiled and said, “I’m so pleased with your respect and devotion.” The mountains replied, “We are honored by your presence. Please tell us how we can serve you.” Agastya said, “There’...
Introduction
Our body’s internal clock is made up of 24-hour cycles called circadian rhythms that work in the background to carry out vital processes and functions. Circadian rhythms, which are synchronized with the master clock in the brain, are used by several bodily systems. A person's ability to keep a normal circadian rhythm determines the health of his/her body and mind. This rhythm is linked to the day-night cycle because this master clock is directly influenced by environmental signals, particularly light. It is endogenous which means it is built- into the body and should be self-sustained.
Synchronization of our biological clock is very important for living a long and happy life. One of the most important factors to reset or synchronize our circadian system is SUNLIGHT. Exposure to sunlight in the morning can help a person to stay energetic the whole day. Another factor can be EXERCISE. Exercising can be very beneficial for a person to be active the whole day. A hormone called melatonin is made in the body. It regulates the sleep cycle. The body produces more melatonin when it is dark, which instructs the brain to go to slumber. Light decreases the production of melatonin and signals the body to stay awake. This is why if a person has trouble sleeping at night, adding melatonin supplements might help him to sleep.
7 Rules to Live A Long Life
One should follow these 7 rules to live a long life:1. A person should have a sound sleep. Spending 8 hours in bed can help a person to be healthy. People should not challenge the natural sleep cycle of their bodies. Normally our body needs to sleep at night but nowadays people especially the youth have destroyed their sleep cycle by staying awake at late night and waking up late in the morning. It disturbs the whole functioning of our body leading to many diseases, improper digestion, etc.
2. A person should avoid eating for the first 1 hour in the morning. After waking up in the morning our organs take at least an hour to be fully awake because in that time our night hormones go down and day hormones go up. It also helps to improve the functioning of our digestive system.
