7 Reasons Why Ayurveda Might Be Your Path to a Healthy and Happy Life

We, humans, are the miniature of nature and our life is a precious gift of nature. Likewise, Ayurveda is the wisdom of nature. About 5000 years ago, in the land of India, the first seeds of Ayurveda were sown.

At the core, the science of Ayurveda is concerned with balancing the three doshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha for fostering health and vitality. And, Ayurveda believes that a disease is the end result of disharmony with nature. In this sense, its approach to healing is rooted in establishing harmony between the body and nature. For this reason, Ayurveda is often regarded as ‘Mother of Healing.’

The North Face BASE CAMP DUFFEL Small Bag Review

This is the North Face Base Camp Small duffel bag review. Hopefully, you will find it useful.

I’ve been in the search of a new bag for quite a while. I am usually picky about what I wear, so it definitely wasn’t an easy choice to make. However, I did have a couple of criteria in mind.

First of all, I exercise regularly. I go to the gym and I do Thai boxing, so there’s a lot of stuff I carry around. Also, I don’t have a car, which means that I very often have all of my sports gear with me on the go. As a result of this, I knew that the new bag has to be very comfortable and big enough to fit everything I need with me.

Stop Using Sports for Politics and Hate! It’s to Unite, to Celebrate

To be honest, I never was a big fan of football (soccer, for those of you that are American). I’ve always been quite lousy with the ball myself, and Russia, the country that I am from, isn’t exactly great at it either. But because this year the FIFA World Cup was being held in Russia, and the team seemed to do better than it ever has, I decided to follow the event as much as possible.

What I witnessed both amazes and disgusts me. On the one hand, I see so much happiness and union between people from all over the world, having the time of their lives while celebrating and cheering for their own as well as other countries. But on the other hand, I see how the mass media has been using the event to build anger and hate between people. It’s just plain awful and ugly.
