Today I am providing a post done my good friend Loddy Miccuci in Healthylifestylesliving.com. I am sure this will be some thing unusual from all other posts in my website
Dyslexia is it the devil in disguise or is it a gift?
It seems that dyslexia can manifest itself in many different ways. It is predominantly a learning issue created when an individual is right brain dominant. People with dyslexia are frustrated by the learning system they are exposed to. Imagine having a creative active mind and the capacity to border on genius and the education system that you are in labels you as stupid and a low achiever. This is exactly the scenario dyslexic people are faced with.
Would people say that about Richard Branson or Tom cruise? Yes they both had dyslexia and a horrendous time at school.
The diagram below shows what side of our brain is responsible for the various learning functions that we need to perfom.

Recently I am learning to rest my body in order to recover from the tear of my intercostal muscles. I come to realise that it is not what I learn that challenges me, it is the process of adopting new perspectives in life. I am so used to the 6-day, 2.5-hour Ashtanga practice which continues to be the major stimulae of my spiritual pursuit. Beause of the trauma of the injury, I needed to stop my practice altogether. Whilst Ashtanga yoga is renowned of itsnature of intensity and vigor, I am totally drawn toits inner fire (‘agni’)that sets within me, without bearing a thought of bailing out from the rituals – I just don’t skip!My resting days without even touching the mat was more challenging than ever to me.
I couldn’t avoid thinking that I haven’t done enough for the day, I was physically idle, I was out of shape and I was losing stamina. The self-inflicted emotional instability and distress became obvious and infectious.For a moment, my intellectual mind somehow got swtiched on during this uneasy time of almost being forced to withdraw from the practice in motion.

Women are extremely complex creatures – from their emotions, to their mental thoughts, and to their physical bodies, the species is not anything less than complicated. One of the hardest areas for women is how the physical body ages, and whether there is a realization of it or not, the reality is, for many, evidence of age for women comes with her inability to bear children. For some reason, that looming cloud not only signifies that childbearing years are over, it seems to indicate another harsh truth, youth is slipping away. That is why getting pregnant over 40 seems more complicated than it should.
What is that magical, or, more of the looming number that hovers around women waiting to descend and tell them fertility is no longer a possibility? Unfortunately, it begins around 35, is when the eggs seem to be fewer and few, making it harder for women to conceive – and although it is not fair, given that men can produce children well into their seventies and eighties – it is a reality that women must face.

The existence of uterine
fibroids is prevalent in about a quarter to a third of all women. The benign growths that affect the muscle of the uterus range in size anywhere from the size of a pea to the size of a basketball. Although there are some cases where a woman may just have one fibroid, most women who have this issue have more than one fibroids. In addition, while many of these fibroids do not have symptoms accompanying them, there are some signs that the fibroids exist. A woman’s period may become increasingly heavy and a woman may experience pain in her abdomen because of the fibroids. With the increased amount in fibroids, she may experience bladder problems as well. Uterine fibroids can impede on a woman’s ability to conceive and may be a cause of miscarriage.
Most doctors recommend surgically removing the fibroids or a hysterectomy but before surgery, women should explore their options. Natural treatments for uterine fibroids are also another route that may have some success in eliminating these little uterine tumors. There is belief that you can reduce the possibility of these fibroids by increasing your fiber consumption. Whole food diets that consist of foods high in green leafy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and kale are a great natural way to remedy the fibroids. It is also recommended that vegetables from the sea that are naturally high and iodine be consumed. The link between these vegetables and the uterine fibroids is not direct. Iodine is needed to maintain thyroid function, and there is belief that an under active thyroid can be a link to uterine fibroids.

Our bone is composed of protein, collagen, and calcium, to give bone its strength. Osteoporosis is a condition caused by a decrease in the density of bone, decreasing its strength and resulting in fragile bones. It leads to abnormally porous bone that is compressible, like a sponge. This disorder of the skeleton weakens the bone and results in frequent fractures in the bones. The leading cause of osteoporosis is a lack of certain hormones, particularly estrogen in women and androgen in men.
Osteoporosis can happen without any symptoms for decades since osteoporosis doesn’t cause symptoms until bone fractures. The common areas of bone fractures occurs in spine, hips, ribs, and wrists- although osteoporosis-related fractures can occur in almost any skeletal bone.
