If you are diabetic or think you may have diabetes you should go to the doctor and start to address your health and exercise. If you will take care of your health by eating properly and exercising you will be able to control you sugar levels a lot better than just taking your medication.

As little as 30 minutes of exercise a day can be very beneficial in helping you to live a happier and healthy life this does not have to be done all at once it can be done in two settings or more. If you and your doctor have sat down and figured out what types of exercise you need to do and what you are able to do then start out slowly and increase the length and intensity of your work out over time. When you are vacuuming, sweeping, dusting or doing other chores you can step up the pace, a little which will increase your heart rate. Also if you are able to do yard work this is an excellent time to increase the pace. You can even try walking in place while you do the dishes. When you go out you may try parking a little farther away from the market, families’ house or mall take the stairs up and down instead of the elevator or escalator. These activities will not only help to keep your sugar in control but it will burn calories. Who said you could not get two things with one stone. If you have a problem with getting motivated try playing your favorite music and opening your windows and blinds.

Do not over exert yourself when doing your exercise because you can cause yourself an injury or unwanted stress which is not beneficial to you. Your diet should compliment your health and exercise and should be what you can make for yourself not pre packaged most of the items you by from the store are usually high in fat, very expensive and do not have any special value for a diabetic. Your diet should have a lot of fiber and be low in saturated fat.

One of the side effects of treating your diabetes is getting hypoglycemia this is when the blood sugar gets to low and you may feel shaky and your capacity to think clearly are impaired. Relieving these symptoms is to eat glucose or foods high in sugars.

Diabetes is a very dangerous disease and needs to be monitored and taken care of through your health and exercise. Watching your sugar level, exercising, eating right and taking your medication on time and the right amount may keep your from experiencing the loss of sight, amputations and other very serious illness.

Vedic Numerology - Lesson 2

Like Pythagoras’ intoxication with the Music of the Spheres( Wisdom), the Indian Sages were infatuated with Knowledge. Many scientific truths were cognised by them in higher states of consciousness which came to be known as the Vedas. One such sage was Vararuchi, who discovered the interrelationship between numbers and letters of the alphabet.

The concept of Name Number

These are the various numbers given to the letters of the alphabet.

A I J Q Y = 1

B K R = 2

C G L S =3

D M T = 4

E H N X =5

U V W = 6

OZ = 7

F P = 8.

No letter has been assigned the number nine.

Individual Name Number - The Name Number is arrived by adding all the digits which correspond to the letters in your name. For example

P R A S H A N T U P A S E

8 2 1 3 5 1 5 4 6 8 1 3 5 Total 52

Individual Name No : 5 + 2 = 7

Here the individual Name Number is 7 & the Combined Name Number is 52.

There are effects for both the individual and the combined name numbers in Vedic Numerology. We will deal with it in our forthcoming articles.

Personality Overview

Controller of Life - Moon

You are ruled numerologically by the luminary Moon. The main characteristic of Moon is its fickle& inconstant nature and this has already swayed your temparament. You are moody at times and this depression generally saps your vitality.

The best remedy for you is to take recourse to yogic practices to overcome
depression. Have implicit faith in God. Optimism is far better than
pessimism.

Your inconstant nature makes you hesitant at times. You may lack
self-assertion and become indecisive at times.

If you wear a ring studded with Moonstone you can overcome the negative
vibrations of this number.This ring should be worn on Monday of the bright
fortnight after dedicating yourself to the Lord.

Lunarians are generally timid and accomodative. Hence they are sentimental
and oversensitive.Heavenly topics interest you a great deal. You show
inclination towards Astrology and other allied sciences.

Wealthwise you are subject to terrific ups and downs corresponding to the
lunar phases of waxing and waning. You will be subject to emotional
suffering. You like to travel. Your honesty will be appreciated by people.

Your personal magnetism will win friends and influence people. Your special
charm will offset the minuspoints caused by the fickle and inconstant nature
of the Moon.

Mental strength and courage will be adversely affected at times. The ideal
remedial measure will be to fast on Mondays consecrating yourself to the
Mother Divine.

In Vedic Astrology, Moon rules the mind ( Manasthu Hinagu ). If you consider
Milton’s statement ” Mind is its own place and can make a Hell out of Heaven
or a Heaven out of Hell”, you can visualise how important a luminary Moon
is. The Vedas averr that Moon represents the mind of the Cosmic Man
(Chandrama manaso Jatha ) and is one of the important political planets.
Moon rules over three constellations of the Sidereal Zodiac - Aldebaran
(Rohini), Delta Corvi (Hasta) & Altair (Sravana).

In the 1970s Mexicos tourism planners decided that a deserted sand spit on the Yucatan peninsula close to the small fishing village of Puerto Juarez was the ideal location for a major tourist Mecca and they set about building a brand new world class resort. Today Cancun, with a permanent population of 500000, is Mexicos premier tourist destination.

The magnificent resort city of Cancun now offers visitors over 25000 rooms in four and five star hotels as well as all inclusive. Just twenty years ago Cancun was a deserted, sun-drenched island off the northeast tip of the Yucatan peninsula.

Also known as Cancun City, the downtown area or Centro is a nine-block square connected to the island by a causeway. The commercial heart of Cancun, is where you will find lots of restaurants and some nice little shops, particularly along Yaxchilan Avenue. Flea market are on Tulum Avenue, the main street, where silver items and handicrafts brought in from all of Mexico.

Downtown is home to less expensive places to shop, including supermarkets such as Soriana and Walmart not to mention several Flea Markets like the one in the Hotel Zone.

Cancun has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. For those who go out more for daytime than night time sports. The beaches are of powdery coral sand, is the place to be. Cancun is a snorkel and scuba diving paradise, the lagoon enclosed by the L shape of the island, is ideal for sailing and water skiing. Deep-sea fishing and diving are fantastic in the open sea, which stretches out in shades of light-green to turquoise from the shoreline to the violet-blue horizon. Along the coastline of about 540 miles, there are numerous coral islands and a reef barrier, the second largest in the world.

Cancun is alive at night time up the Hotel Zone. Many clubs are divided into sections with techno dance music on one side and on the other live rock bands. These clubs usually open their doors at 10 pm and close when the sun rises.

The Yucatan Peninsula has a rich history and a three-hour bus ride east from Cancun hotel zone. Chichen Itza is considered the capital of ancient Mayan civilization and home to some of Mexicos most important archaeological discoveries. The Pyramid of Kukulkan, El Castillo, a step-sided stone pyramid is the centre piece. Chichen Itza officials still allow tourists to climb up its 91 steps, but this opportunity will soon end due to the impact of the thousands of tourists who visit the site.
