Summers are very harsh in the months of June-July in India . With  a temperature around 44 degree here in North , it becomes tough to struggle with heat , sweat , pollution , humidity . It becomes essential to take extra special care of yourself . I follow some simple tips which make me comfortable during this scorching heat in summer season . Exfoliate and Tone your skin Do use a good scrub for your face and body as a scrub helps to get rid of old skin cells and prepare for new ones . This is exfoliation . It helps to keep your skin youthful and glowing . You should do it at least twice a week . Grab a skin scrub for yourself today only . On daily basis , after cleansing your skin with a mild facewash or cleanser , use a toner which helps maintain pH level of your skin and also reduces penetration of any more dirt in your skin . I use Aroma Magic toner which I am able to just spray on my face and feel fresh & hydrated in summer . 2. Sunscreen A sunscreen is a must for summer . Loo...

A healthy mind resides in a healthy body . You must be thinking “ Yes Yes I know it “ But is your body really healthy ? Is your mind always healthy and happy ? Are you doing something for your body and mind ? Remember the day you suffered just from cold or had mild fever , you just couldn’t  work properly , eat properly and you didn’t even feel like talking to anybody . Even little health problems act worse on your mind , you start feeling unhappy , irritated  and just don’t enjoy anything around us . From minor health problems like fever , cold, acidity, constipation to major health problems like joint pains , heart troubles , health can affect your everyday happiness and increase your stress .

You are constantly working , whether at home or office , if none of these then TV or Mobiles. But when it comes to your  own...

If we start with the definitions of health , See what I read The above information credit is to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov I think out of these three definitions, the second and third  define health more accurately . Because after all, just being physically fit may not  make one  completely healthy . But if I read the second definition again , it refers only about coping with the demands of daily life . The second definition just doesn’t mention anything about one’s inner health , I mean one’s own emotional health . And that is something very important . The third definition defines health as a state of balance , the equilibrium within one’s own self and the surroundings. I liked this definition .  I liked the word equilibrium . You know what’s equilibrium? In my science class , I explain it as the condition   when  net effect of all the forces  on an object is zero . If we are able to have equilibrium in our life ,  wouldn’t it be perfect ?  No ef...
