"Good for the soul and heart : taking a vacation can lower the risk of heart disease"

Image
If you want to improve your heart health or decrease your risk of stroke, shut down your work computer, put your office cell phone on mute and take a vacation. Researchers at Syracuse University found in a small study that people who take a vacation have a lower risk for metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that can result in heart disease, stroke or diabetes, such as increased blood pressure, high blood sugar or excess body fat around the waist. The study, published last week in the journal Psychology & Health, looked at blood samples and vacation behavior of 63 workers. They found as vacation episodes increased, the number of incidence and metabolic syndrome symptoms decreased. The risk for metabolic syndrome decreased by nearly 25 percent every time the worker took an additional vacation. “We are actually seeing a reduction in the risk for cardiovascular disease the more vacationing a person does,” said lead author Bryce Hruska, an assistant professor of publ...

"The Himalayas"

Image
The Himalayas are mountains that are located in southern Asia. They are a part of in Nepal, India, Pakistan, Tibet and Bhutan. The mountains are the highest in the world, reaching almost 9,000 meters above sea level. The Himalayas separate the Indian subcontinent from the inner part of Asia. The word Himalaya means “home of snow”. 14 mountains are over 8,000 meters high, among them the K2 , Nanga Parbat and Mount Everest, at 8,848 meter the world’s highest mountain. The Himalayas extend over 1,500 miles (2,400 km) from the Indus Valley in the west to the Brahmaputra Valley in the east. They are between 100 and 250 kilometers wide. Many of the mountain peaks are sacred to the people who live in the surrounding areas. Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims go there and pray to God. The Himalayas are very sparsely populated because of the harsh climate.  Most people live on the lower Indian slopes. Many people earn their living as sherpas, guiding tourists and mountaineers to...

"Snow Leopard: The Ghost Cat"

Image
Often referred to as the “Ghost of the Mountains,” the snow leopard is an elusive big cat that reigns among the peaks of the Himalayas. Snow leopards act as an ambassador of the planet’s highest places and are considered sacred by the people who live there. As an apex predator, the presence of this big cat indicates a healthy ecosystem. Snow leopards are known for their striking beauty, with smoky-colored coats tinted with cream and yellow shades and patterned with black spots. The spots are called rosettes, and each cat has a pattern that is unique like a fingerprint. This cat is more medium in size when compared to other big cats. They stand to about 60cm at the shoulder and have a body length between 1.8-2.3m. Their tail can be 1m long! Females can weigh around 35-40kg, while males can weigh 99-45-55kg. Unique among other cat species are their pale grey to greenish eyes. The twelve countries that encompass the snow leopard’s range include: China, India, Mongolia, Russia, Bhu...

"The entire world's population could fit inside Los Angeles"

Image
The world's total population is more than 7.5 billion. And obviously, that number sounds huge. However, it might feel a little more manageable once you learn that if every single one of those people stood shoulder-to-shoulder, they could all fit within the 500 square miles of Los Angeles, according to National Geographic.

"Live Life By A Compass, and Not a Clock"

Image
It’s so hard for so many people these days to just up and leave to travel the world when they can’t miss a day of work and they certainly can’t afford a trip longer than a weekend. Those financial woes are always the worst to come face to face with, and the phrase “I’ll travel eventually” seems to haunt any of these busy bees. When you work 3-5 jobs and still barely make your bills each month, it may be time to re-evaluate what’s going on. It doesn’t matter how many jobs you can balance or how many shifts you take on, Jaime Lyn Beatty made the golden rule official when she sang the words, "JOBS FILL YOUR POCKET, ADVENTURES FILL YOUR SOUL.” When it’s so hard to make ends meet, there is ALWAYS room for relaxation, or else you might actually die from the boredom in your life. That being said, even a drive to the nearest lake, beach, mountain, forest, whatever it may be can bring the most beautiful memories to your mind, and guess what? They’re usually free! Just imagine how ...

"All the ants on Earth weigh about as much as all the humans"

Image
The total population of people who are alive on Earth hasn't even hit 8 billion. At the same time, there are 10 quadrillion (10,000,000,000,000,000) individual ants crawling around at any given time. According to wildlife presenter Chris Packham, who appeared on the BBC, when combined, all of those ants would weigh about the same as all of us humans. However, Francis Ratnieks, professor of apiculture at the University of Sussex, disagrees. He says that while this fact may have been true in the past, these days "we must also remember that humans are getting fatter all the time. We're not just increasing in population, we're increasing in fatness, so I think we've left the ants behind."

"Not all classrooms have four walls !"

Image
“Its Better to Destroy the BOX than to Think outside the BOX.” We never stop learning, whether it’s as we progress through education, develop our careers or experience the challenges life presents.  In fact some of the worlds most successful people, such as Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg still dedicate at least 5 hours a week to active learning as they travel the world. We have all studied the varied History and Geography of the World, picked up at least the basics of Modern Foreign Languages or tried making different foods from across the globe. But how amazing to have first hand experiences of testing your Spanish in Madrid, exploring the Roman Forum in Rome, taking a cooking class in Vietnam or seeing an active volcano in Iceland! No matter what your age, travel will broaden your horizons introducing you to new ways of life, develop greater self awareness and bring context to all the things you have read in a book or seen on TV.  Taking just an hour a day to enhan...

"A SMILE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD"

Image
SMILE..! “Use your smile to change the world; don’t let the world change your smile.”   One of the most powerful things the world shares is the universal smile. A smile can cut through all barriers. It knows no age, gender, color or culture. No matter where you are in the world, what language you speak, or social status, a smile will always be understood. In a TED Talk by Ron Gutman, he discusses the hidden power of smiles. He cites research that revealed that one single smile can provide the same level of brain stimulation as 2,000 chocolate bars. Today, make a conscious effort to smile more to strangers you come across in everyday life. The reality is that we have no idea what is going on in the lives of the people whose paths we cross each day. Maybe, just maybe, a genuine smile might brighten their day, even if just for a few minutes. Find ways to incorporate reasons to smile more in your life. Children spend up to 400 times a day smiling, while adults on...
