Dairy: 6 Reasons You Should Avoid It at All Costs or Why Following the USDA Food Pyramid Guidelines is Bad for Your Health (VIDEO)

An interesting article on the cons of dairy (milk specifically, it seems). I am not a vegan, not even fully vegetarian, but this article highlights a few points I’d definitely like to continue researching. I think the most important factor in your diet, your health, your whole life, is staying informed. Take a look at this short article…. What do you think? Is dairy-free the way to be?

kicksomeasana:

Uttana Shishosana (Extended Puppy Pose)
A cross between Child’s Pose and Downward Facing Dog. 
 
Come onto all fours. See that your shoulders are above your wrists and your hips are above your knees. Walk your hands forward a few inches and curl your toes under.
As you exhale, move your buttocks halfway back toward your heels. Keep your arms active; don’t let your elbows touch the ground.
Drop your forehead to the floor or to a blanket and let your neck relax. Keep a slight curve in your lower back. To feel a nice long stretch in your spine, press the hands down and stretch through the arms while pulling your hips back toward your heels.
Breathe into your back, feeling the spine lengthen in both directions. Hold for 30 seconds to a minute, then release your buttocks down onto your heels.
