Did you know?   The average human brain weighs around 3 pounds (1.4 kilograms) and has a volume of 1,300-1,400 cubic centimeters? The brain is made up of approximately 86 billion neurons. These neurons communicate with one another via 100 trillion synapses? Despite accounting for only around 2% of the body's weight, the brain requires approximately 20% of the body's energy and oxygen? As neurons communicate with one another, the brain generates electrical impulses. Electroencephalography (EEG) techniques can detect and measure these electrical impulses? The brain can process information at breakneck speed. The brain is thought to be capable of performing up to one quadrillion calculations per second?  Because the brain lacks pain receptors, it does not experience pain. It can, however, detect pain signals from other parts of the body? The brain is capable of adapting and rewiring itself. Because of this plasticity, it can make new brain connections and learn throughout ...

Every year on June 21 , people throughout the world come together to celebrate International Yoga Day and show their support for the age-old art of yoga.  The importance of yoga for our physical, mental, and spiritual health is brought home by this unique day.

Yoga becomes a potent instrument for boosting our children's immunity and preparing them for the difficulties that lie ahead when used in conjunction with homoeopathy. This fascinating subje...

Birthdays are frequently associated with pleasure, celebration, and excitement. Today is a wonderful day since it is my birthday, which is generally connected with happiness, laughing, and well-wishes, celebrating with my friends and family!

As someone who once left her own birthday kickback to go home and lit...
