Continued concentration over long periods required in the modern workplace can be demanding on your mind and your body. The stress and fatigue felt by many of us can impact our work performance and lead to ongoing stress and exhaustion when you get home.

However taking a short break to complete a few simple yoga postures at your desk can help to relieve stress and tiredness and refresh you for another work session.

Office yoga part 1

Start by vigorously rubbing your hands together until you feel warmth on your palms. Place your hands on your face with your palms cupping your eyes and your fingers on your forehead making sure that no light gets to your eyes. Hold your hands here with your eyes open and relaxed to relieve eye muscle tensions and eye strain related headaches.

Nadi Shodhana (alternate breathing)

Sit comfortably in your chair with your back tall and straight. Hold your right hand in front of your face with the middle two fingers resting between your eyebrows. Your thumb should be above your right nostril and your ring finger above the left. Close your right nostril with your thumb and breathe in slowly and silently through your left nostril, until your lungs are full without straining. Release the right nostril and close the left nostril with your ring finger. Exhale through the right nostril slowly, keeping the duration of the exhale the same as the inhale. Inhale slowly through the right nostril. Release the left nostril and close the right nostril with your thumb while you exhale. Repeat the sequence 10 times making sure that your breathing is silent.

Mushtika Bandhana (Hand Clenching)

Hold your arms out straight in front of you at shoulder height, palms down, stretching the fingers wide. Close your hands into a fist with the thumb held inside, as you slowly exhale. Slowly inhale as you open your hands and stretch your fingers. Repeat 10 times.

Manibandha Naman (Wrist Flexing)

Holding your arms straight out in front of you, at shoulder level palms down. Inhale as you slowly bend your hand backwards, fingers pointing towards the ceiling. Exhale as you slowly bend the wrist downwards, fingers pointing towards the floor. Repeat 10 times

Manibandha chakra (Wrist circling)

Hold your right hand straight out in front of you at shoulder level, making a fist with the thumb tucked inside. Rotate the hand in a clockwise circular motion, making as large a circle as possible while keeping the elbow straight and still, keep your breath slow and smooth. Make 10 circles in a clockwise direction, then 10 in the opposite direction. Repeat with the left hand. Alternatively you can work both hands at the same time.

Kehuni Naman (Elbow Bending)

Hold your arms straight out in front of you at shoulder level hand open with the palms facing upwards. As you exhale, bend your arms at the elbow and touch your shoulders. Inhale as you straighten your arms. Repeat 10 times.

Skandha chakra (Shoulder rotation) Hold your arms out sideways at shoulder level, bend your elbows and touch your shoulders with your fingers. Rotate your arms in a clockwise direction, making sure that your elbows touch your chest, ears and sides as you make the circle. Keep your breath slow, inhaling as your arms move up, and exhaling as your arms move down. Make 10 complete rotations then repeat in the opposite direction.

Greeva Sanchalana (Neck Movements)

Sit comfortably facing forward with your eyes closed. Exhale as you lower your head trying to touch your chin to your chest. Inhale as you lift your head backwards as far as possible without straining. Repeat 10 times.

Sit comfortably facing forward, eyes closed. Without turning you neck, exhale as you lower your head to the right, trying to touch your right ear to your right shoulder. Breathe in as you raise your head and exhale as you lower it to the left side. Repeat 10 times.

Sit facing forward, eyes closed. Inhale as you turn your head to the right to look over your right shoulder. Inhale as you return to center. Exhale as you turn to the left to look over your left shoulder. Repeat 10 times.

In the same position eyes closed, rotate your head in a clockwise circular motion bringing you head down, to the right, backward and to the left. Exhale as you move your head down, inhale as you move your head up.

All walt disney world Resorts are fabulous places to visit, but they are also amazing places to dine. Whether it be a quick snack or a full gourmet dinner, you will not be disappointed by the choice and quality of fare that disney has to offer.

Each theme park, water park and resort area has a vast selection of eateries for you to sample and enjoy, and as you would expect, depending upon your budget, you can eat for just a few bucks, or really push the boat out and savour the delights of five star cuisine.

Many of Disneys restaurants are themed, and these are incredibly popular with the kids. Likewise, character dining experiences (aimed at younger members of your party, but enjoyed by all) are often the highlight of a childs day. Well what could be better when eating your meal than to be served by Mickey, Donald, Pluto, or maybe even a real life disney princess ? Of course character dining also allows you to capture some magical photographic memories too.

All to often, people get the impression that theme park food is going to be unhealthy food. Admittedly, there is fast food available in the form of burgers, hot dogs and fries, but you will also be pleasantly surprised to discover that the alternatives are indeed exceedingly healthy, and downright tasty too.

Our vegetarian friends are also well catered for, along with guests who have special dietary requirements, or those who cannot eat certain foods because of religious beliefs. Full details of the contents of all meals served on disney property can be found by simply asking the cast member who takes your order.

And whilst a lot of food served throughout Disney parks is essentially American cuisine, a visit to epcot world Showcase for example, will give you the opportunity to experience a vast selection of foods from around the world, ranging from Chinese, to french and even little known Norwegian delicacies, to name but a few.

Each disney park that you visit has its own map so that you can find your way around. Clearly marked on these maps, and divided into categories are the dining experiences offered to tempt your taste buds.

So whether it be a full service restaurant, character dining, a quick takeaway or a healthy fresh green salad, you will find it all at disney. The service is, as with all things disney, friendly and polite, and its great to know that when those hunger pangs strike, that you will be well catered for, in every sense of the word.

It is important to remember that weight loss is a battle for life. These videos show that even if you are rich and famous, weight loss is still a problem. Gil Gerard had all the money needed to fight being overweight but was losing the war. Here is a man who was a heartthrob back in the 70s. Until his surgery, he was slowly dieing from the diseases caused by being overweight.

Major surgery like gastric bypass should be the last option to save your life. Anytime you go under the knife and you are sedated, your life is at risk. So before you consider any life changing surgeries, do the research on it.

Ask These Questions

1. What are the risks?
2. How will it affect my life?
3. What will I have to give up?
4. Do I have to do this the rest of my life?
5. Can it be reversed?
6. What is the dead rate?
7. What can I eat?
8. What I cannot eat?
9. Do I have to take nutritional supplement the rest of my life?
10. What will be the permanent affects on my weight loss?

You should be able to answer each one of these questions before considering gastric bypass surgery. What you do not know could kill you.

To qualify for surgery, most insurance companies require a 2 year medical weight loss record. Your weight must be proven to be life threatening . Morbid obesity is defined as 100 or more pounds overweight or a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more. This alone is judged by many states insurance guidelines to be life threatening. The patients are between the ages of 18-60 years old. They must have a complete understanding of the risks and real benefits caused by this surgery.

most insurance Companies deny your first claim. Always submit an Appeal Letter within 30 to 60 days of the denial. The cost of the surgery is not cheap ranging from $15,000 and up.
