Corona Pandemic – What Haven’t Been Told?

Hi, we are One Building City team. We are here for you and we want to share with you many things that you haven’t been told by most of the experts and non experts all over the world. Beside all of the advice you got, they were leaving out one of the things that we think is the single most important thing you should be giving thought to and that is your last line of defense.

Before we get to that let’s talk about the advice for getting it’s absolutely clear that the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) know what they’re talking about and they’ve are a really good advice to protect yourself. It is a good idea to practice social distancing particularly relative to people who might be symptomatic or sick. It’s also a good idea to wash your hands and avoid touching your face if you are symptomatic then it’s incredibly important that you protect the people around you by socially distancing yourself from them potentially wearing a mask. If you need to be around them making sure that you too are washing your hands on a regular basis covering your mouth and nose whenever you need to cough and sneeze and washing down and disinfecting any surfaces that you touch that other people might come in contact you later.

These are very important steps that you absolutely should be taking and what they’re not telling you is that your immune system is the last line of defense and that’s where you should be putting a ton of your effort the other day.

On top of the CDC recommendations that it’s time for you to really work on supporting your immune system during this time. This is not the time for a fine sugar and corn syrup and all those garbage sweeteners that we eat. This is not the time for preservatives and additives and unpronounceable ingredients that you can’t even begin to say yourself if you’re reading them. It doesn’t mean you can never eat those things again. Those things can be fun but this is not the time for it. This is not the time for things that are gonna stress your immune system. This is the time for giving your body the things that it really needs.

So what does your body need? It needs really good nutrition. What does that mean. It means it needs a variety of fruits and fresh vegetables. It needs good healthy fats and proteins. It also needs really good hydration and it needs rest. It needs sunlight and it needs fresh air and it needs love and support those things absolutely help you to build your immune system. Anything that is going to hurt your immune system for example junk food unbelievably bad quality fats horrible refined sugar disgusting preservatives and additives. Those things are hard on your system. We might indulge in those things when times are good when we do it occasionally but right now your immune system needs a break, and so the most responsible thing you could be doing for your own health and for the Public Safety is to follow the CDC directives and support your own immune system. Get really good nutrition, eat really good stuff right now that you know you need to be eating. Make sure that you stay incredibly well hydrated. Make sure that you rest. Make sure that you get good fresh air and you get sunlight. Look, your body sends almost every blood cell that you have up to the skin layer on a regular basis to make sure that it gets some sunlight and also make sure you’re practicing some kind of routine to keep your stress levels down meditation or walks in nature and so forth. We really want you to know this from now onward every time you see a news bulletin that tells you to practice social distancing ourselves true but what they’re leaving out is that even more important than that or at least as important to that is that you take care of your immune system by making sure you’re well nourished well hydrated that you get good sunlight that you get good rest that you’re reducing your stress as best possible. Please take care of yourself during this difficult time.

One last thing when the public gets concerned like this it causes panic. We didn’t even want to write that might make people more afraid but we wanted to write that might inspire people to take care of their last line of defense so what We want to suggest you now is that this is a really good time for focusing on the fact that this too shall pass. We want you to take a look at what’s absolutely great about your life. We want you to take a look at the fact that there are great people around you. It’s really important during this time that you control your focus and do the very best you can to keep your stress levels down. We wish you the very best of luck during this time. For now we really just want you to take absolutely good care of yourself and take good care of your family. Thank you!

Benefits of Yoga and Meditation

Yoga and meditation typically go hand-in-hand and have been around for thousands of years. They have been used as an alternative form of exercise to keep the mind and body healthy and happy. Practicing yoga improves balance, endurance, flexibility, and strength, while meditation helps keep the mind sharp, relieves stress and anxiety, and can strengthen your immune system.

Following a few simple poses, breathing techniques, and positive coping skills can help retirees manage stress, improve mental clarity, manage chronic conditions, and promote a healthier lifestyle. With so many health benefits linked to these traditional practices, many Baby Boomers are taking notice and incorporating these techniques into their lifestyle. Check out these ten surprising benefits of yoga and meditation.

Treats Back Pain

Believe it or not, doing a few yoga poses throughout the week can help with chronic back pain. Studies have shown that stretching exercises and poses have improved spinal flexibility and helped ease lower back pain problems in people after just one week of yoga.

Helps with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Iyengar yoga, which is a type of yoga that uses blocks, belts, and other positioning props, has been shown to help people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Hot yoga, like Bikram and gentle yoga, has also been shown to help because of its slow, easy-paced poses and movements that benefit the joints, bones, and muscles.

Cures Hangovers

While you may not want to move or get out of bed when nursing a hangover, experts say that doing yoga can detox your system and get you feeling fresh much faster. Certain yoga poses like “plow”, “bow”, or “shoulder stand” work on the thyroid gland, which improves the metabolism to kick those toxins out of your system. By reversing the blood flow and bringing more circulation to the brain, your body will create balance and spring back to life. Not only are you getting rid of your hangover faster, but also blasting fat and cellulite.

Improves Heart Health

When it comes to heart health, Baby Boomers need to be wary and maintain a healthy lifestyle as much as possible. Thanks to yoga and meditation, keeping your heart healthy is easy. Studies have shown that yoga is linked to a reduced risk of heart disease because of its cardiovascular benefits that eliminate arterial plaque. Meditation also helps lower heart rate and improve blood circulation. Meditating one time a day for ten minutes can help you relax, reduce stress hormones, lower your blood pressure, and allow for better blood flow.

Helps with Asthma

If you suffer from asthma then you might want to take up yoga. Research has shown that adults with mild to moderate asthma who did an eight-week session of yoga combined with their regular meds saw a marked improvement. Pranayama is a type of yoga that focuses on breathing techniques that have shown to be especially effective against asthma.

Improves Digestion

If you have trouble with your daily fiber intake and can’t get things moving easily then practicing yoga can be a tremendous help. There are many yoga poses, twists, and moves that massage internal organs that help food move along in your digestive system. Yoga also stimulates the lymphatic system that helps flush out toxins, making your body cleaner. Meditation can also help with symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) by reducing the frequency of stress-related flare-ups.

Helps You Sleep Better

In order to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle you need to get enough rest so you can function the next day. If you have trouble sleeping or suffer from insomnia, yoga can greatly improve your sleep quality. Doing yoga twice a week helped people sleep better, reduce stress, and lower anxiety. Meditation and breathing techniques also help clear your mind so you can relax and slow down your thoughts, allowing you the peace of mind to get a good night’s sleep.

Boosts Your Mood

Yoga and meditation have been linked with emotional health boosts. Studies have shown that yoga and meditation help improve cognitive-behavioral performance as well as aid with mood swings, menopause, schizophrenia, insomnia, depression, and anxiety. Practicing yoga in a group setting also stimulates the production of oxytocin, which is the love hormone, and it also produces higher serotonin levels, which is the happy hormone. Combined, these hormones dramatically improve someone’s mood.

Combats Migraines

No one likes to endure the pain of a migraine. That’s why it’s beneficial to practice yoga to fight them off. One of the recommended moves that alleviate migraines is the “bridge pose.” You lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet hip-width apart on the floor. With your hands on the floor, press down into your legs and draw your hips up. The trick is to relax the tension in your muscles from your neck and shoulders, which can be misaligned or stressed from hunching over a computer or phone all day long.

Provides Mental Clarity

A healthy dose of yoga and meditation will keep your brain sharp and clear. Simple yoga practices and breathing techniques allow you to free your mind from “clutter” that trickles down to your physical well-being. Slow breathing and yoga poses will help your memory and keep your thoughts more organized once you get rid of stress, anxiety, and negative thinking. Reaching a place of quiet peacefulness is the key to healthy memory function.
