HEALTH BENEFITS OF YOGA

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 If you are a yoga beginner, Hatha Yoga, which focuses

on basic postures at a comfortable 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 won’t be able to touch your toes But if you stick with it, you’ll notice a gradual loosening, and eventually, seeminglyimpossible 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 conditionslike arthritis 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 learn 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 organs and allow oxygenated blood to flow in once the twist is released

Many studies found that a consistent yoga practice improved depression andled to greater levels of happiness and better immune function

harmonious balance of the complementary extremes of yin and yang of thelife force known as chi or qi Qi is said to flow through pathways in the

human body Through 350 acupuncture points in the body, these pathways and energy flows may be accessed Illness is said to be the consequence of

an imbalance of the forces If needles are inserted into these points with appropriate combinations, it is said that the energy flow can be brought back into proper balance

In Western societies and several other parts of the world, acupuncture is explained, including concepts of neuroscience Acupuncture points are seen

by Western practitioners as places where nerves, muscles and connective tissue can be stimulated Acupuncture practitioners say that the

stimulation increases blood flow while at the same time triggering the

America’s foods began to affect the rest of the world American

emphasis on convenient and rapid consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks By the 1960s and 1970s fast foods became one of America’s strongest exports

as franchises for Mc Donalds and Burger King spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including Russia and China Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace _ gave way to quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as other countries imitated American cultural patterns

In 2002, several obese teenagers in the USA sued McDonald's, claimingthat the company was responsible for making them fat They argued thatMcDonald's deliberately misled them into thinking that their cheeseburgers

and other products were healthy and nutritious food They claimed that the

company had not warned them about the health problems that can resultfrom eating too much salty, high-fat food and drinking too many sugarydrinks: diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity The mother of one of thechildren, who at the age of 15 weighed more than 180 kilograms, said in herstatement: I always believed McDonald's was healthy for my son.'

McDonald's rejected the claim that they were responsible for these

teenagers’ health problems ‘People don't go to sleep thin and wake upobese,' said McDonald's lawyer, Brad Lerman 'The understanding of whathamburgers and French fries do has been with us for a long, long time,’ he

added The judge agreed, and dismissed the case, saying: 'It is not the place

of the law to protect people against their own excesses.' In other words, ifpeople choose to eat a lot of unhealthy food, they can't blame the company

that sold it to them.

Passage 6

There are many types of family systems around the world In North Americaand northern Europe, the nuclear family (with two generations - a father, amother and one or more children) is often seen as the most typical In contrast,

in most other parts of the world, extended families, which include other familymembers such as grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, are seen as the

norm.

The common view is that the nuclear family has become the norm in manyWestern societies as a result of industrialization and urbanization This trendbegan in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when people were forced

to move to cities to find work in the factories that sprang up during the

Industrial Revolution In the twentieth century, greater industrialization resulted

in even more people leaving their large extended families Urbanization alsomeant that people lived in much smaller houses, which were not big enough for

an extended family
