5 Ways Whole Grain Can Change Your Life

1.       Heart health. Heart-healthy diets rich in whole grain foods can reduce the risk of heart disease.

2.       Reduce cancer risk. Low fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain products, fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, particularly of the stomach and colon.

3.       Manage diabetes. The American Diabetes Association recommends whole grain as part of a diabetic diet.

4.       Keep you regular. Fiber from whole grains promotes regularity and keeps the intestines working smoothly to help maintain good digestive health.

5.       Weight management. A growing body of evidence supports that people who eat more whole grain tend to have healthier body weights and gain less weight over time than those who don’t.

Are you practicing Sun Salutation? Want to brighten up your experience even more? Here are some simple and practical tips that can help make your Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar) experience complete and blissful. Happy Sun Saluting!

Tip #1: Warm up the body before you start Surya Namaskar

It is a good idea to do some Sukshma Vyayama or gentle warm-up stretches before you start with the Surya Namaskar rounds. This helps remove restlessness in the body and prepares it for Surya Namaskar yoga postures.

Tip #2: East or West?

Where to face while doing Surya Namaskar? Do it facing the East direction if you are doing Sun Salutation in the morning and the West direction if you are doing it in the evening.

Tip #3: Add the attitude of gratitude

It makes a big difference! You will be able to enjoy your stretches much more. That smile can keep the energy going.

Tip #4: Do your Surya Namaskars gracefully

This becomes important when you strive to achieve a higher target of Surya Namaskar rounds ( some people may even go up to 108 sun salutations ) Even when you pick up pace, don’t do the poses with a jerk or with force. Allow the postures to flow gently and gracefully one into the other.
