                      Healthy Aging with yoga

For sure everyone will definitely grow old and finally drop this physical… but the thing is should we age so fast and look sick? We can actually age gracefully, old age is a blessing but it doesn't have been artificial, some are having so many symptoms of old age at thirties and forties, when I meet some  persons they tell me

Though there have been some conflicting historical facts about the origin of yoga, some historians would say yoga started from Africa, a historical fact that's somehow difficult for an Indian-oriented yogi to accept. Though the popular history says lord Shiva brought yoga but with time it became somehow vague then sage Patanjali came to and systemized it as what is know as raja yoga, which has also undergone so many dynamic modifications to suit people of challenges and cultural background.

QUOTING FROM THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE WRITTEN ON September 2012   BY,
 By Claudia Kelley, Ph.D., RD, CDE, Ohttp://www.lifeextension.com/Magazine/2012/9/7-Ways-Melatonin-Attacks-Aging-Factors/Page-01F

  "Melatonin is known for helping some people achieve a better night's sleep, which is how it earned its nickname as "the sleep hormone."
Preclinical studies found that melatonin increased the life span of animals by up to 20%—prolonging their youthful character in the process."
