 If
one small area of your leg is painful, you could have
DVT, a blood clot in the deep veins. The spot may also
be red and warm to the touch. DVT is more likely if you
use birth control pills or recently took a long car or
plane ride. Unless your leg is very swollen or the pain
is getting worse rapidly, you can probably wait a day to
see your doctor instead of going to the ER, but don't
delay any longer. The clot could increase in size or
break off, move toward the lungs and stop blood flow.
If you're on a long car ride or plane:
-
get up every 1 to 2 hours and stretch or move around.
-
write out the alphabet with your toes on the floor. Take
your toes up and down, left to right. As you write the
alphabet you squeeze the muscles, the veins, and pumping
the blood back up, so it won't clot.
-
drink fluids and stay hydrated.

Stay Positive
 Having
a positive mindset means choosing your own reality by
staying positive. Have you ever wondered why some people
seem to remain happy no matter what is going on around
them, whilst others constantly moan and complain even
when their circumstances are better than most.
Remember, the way you think determines where you are
today and where you were yesterday. Take control of your
mind and change the reality, by staying positive at
every opportunity. It does not hurt to think positively
and when YOU smile the world smiles back.
We only have one life, one precious life. Better to
smile. A positive mindset can be the driving force of
your life. The energy you put out manifests itself back
to you.

 One
comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself
sufficiently often, whether the statement be true of
false. It comes to be dominating thought in one's mind.

Yoga Asanas for Reducing Abdominal Fat
 The most dangerous fat lies around the organs, deep within the belly.
The fat in the abdominal area functions differently than fat elsewhere in the body. It has a greater blood supply as well as more receptors for cortisol, a stress hormone. Cortisol levels rise and fall throughout the day.
