A healthy lifestyle includes a variety of things like having a proper nutritious diet, daily exercise, having a night of adequate sleep, staying happy, and having positive thoughts. When all of these things combine to have a healthy lifestyle, we must know that our lives are on the right path. Leading a healthy life is essential for a person to remain happy in his life and spread positivity among others.

Once you choose to lead a healthy lifestyle, it remains for a lifetime. It helps in keeping your present as well as your future secure. It helps in keeping diseases away from you. Having a healthy lifestyle is all about choosing the right things for yourself. Everyone cannot be perfect in this, but we can try by starting with a few things like getting up early in the morning, doing some amount of basic exercises like jogging, or getting indulged in some sports or anything. In addition to this, one should also start to follow a balanced diet that includes the proper amount of carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Keeping both of these points in mind, one should also maintain one’s sleep cycle. It is necessary for a person to have sufficient sleep that consists of around 7-8 hours of sleep.

We should remember having a healthy lifestyle not only means physical health but also include mental health. Having proper sleep, including a balanced diet in your lifestyle, doing some exercises is fine, but being happy is also a big part of a healthy lifestyle. To facilitate happiness, one must have positive thoughts. When a person does not feel happy from the inside, they are not entirely healthy. Thus, thinking positive is a key to a healthy lifestyle.

A healthy lifestyle is the one thing that everyone should strive for!

The Indian Air Force is the air wing of the Indian Armed Forces. The complement of personnel and aircraft assets is ranked fourth amongst the air forces of the world. It was officially inaugurated on 8th October 1932. The mission of the Indian Air Force is to protect its citizens from any foreign aggression from any other country. Also, the sole mission is to secure Indian airspace and to handle aerial warfare during armed conflict.

After India gained independence from the United Kingdom, the name Royal Indian Air Force was kept. And when India became a Republic nation, the prefix Royal was removed and from then we call it Indian Air Force.

Since 1950, the Indian Air Force has been involved in four major wars with the neighboring countries Pakistan and China. Some other major operations undertaken by the Indian Air Force include Operation Vijay, Operation Meghdoot, Operation Cactus, and Operation Poomalai.

The position of the Supreme Commander of the Indian Air Force is handled by the President of India. The Chief of Air Staff is mainly responsible for the operational leadership of the Air Force. The rank of Marshal of the Air Force had once been bestowed by the President of India to Arjan Singh. On 26th January, Arjan Singh became the one and only five star rank officer of the Indian Air Force.

The Indian Air Force bears the accountability of safeguarding Indian airspace and thus the national interests in association with the other branches of the Armed Forces in India. The Indian Air Force have highly trained crew, pilots, and access to modern military assets along with the capacity to provide rapid response evacuation rescue operations. and the delivery of relief supplies to some affected areas of the country.

Hockey is the national sport of India. It is a popular sport in many countries apart from India. The game has many rules attached to it and people have to follow them in order to have a fair deal. But the basic rules generally remain the same at all places. Talking about our country, India has so far won six gold medals in the Olympics and many other consecutive matches.

There are many variations of this game like Ice Hockey, Field Hockey, Street Hockey, etc. This game is always played with a stick and a ball. This is an ancient game that is being played in India for years now. Before 1272 BC, Hockey was played just in Ireland while during 600 BC it was played by ancient Greece.

Every game has some pieces of equipment attached to it. Similarly, to avoid any sort of injury, the types of equipment used in this game are helmets, shoulder pads, neck guards, jockstraps, elbow pads, a hockey stick, and a puck or a ball.

There are two teams that play against each other. Each team consists of 11 players. The aim of this game is to hit maximum goals into the opponent’s team goal post. This game is more like football. When any incorrect step is taken, then that accounts for penalties. The team that scores more goals wins the match. The hockey field is rectangular in shape and has a fixed dimension. Earlier the whole game used to be for 70 minutes, divided into two equal halves. But recently, the time has been reduced to 60 minutes which are successfully divided into three equal quarters of 20 minutes each.

The game starts with a face-off at the center of the field and the players have to fight to gain control over the ball.

These socialist acts were continued even during future Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh’s reign. PV Narasimha Rao employed Manmohan Singh as his Finance Minister. With Rao’s support, Dr. Manmohan Singh propelled India’s globalization angle of the reforms that achieved the International Monetary Fund policies to retain the almost bankrupt nation from economic collapse. When Rao headed a minority government, he steered through the economic and political legislation. For this act, he was appreciated by giving the name Chanakya.

Narasimha Rao’s term as the Prime Minister of India was an eventful one in Indi’s history. A paradigm shift from industrializing, the mixed economic model of Jawaharlal Nehru to a market-driven model was his major accomplishment as the Prime Minister. During his reign as the Prime Minister, there was the birth of the Bhartiya Janta Party as an alternative to the Indian National Congress which was more famous in India as it had governed India for most of its post-Independence history. Rao’s term also saw the destruction of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh, which triggered one of the worst Hindu-Muslim riots in the history of India since its independence.

Rao was a talented thinker who had interests in various subjects like literature and computer software.

Although Hindi is our native language but people prefer English more these days. English is one of the most preferred languages throughout the world. It is one such language that acts as a medium for most people for communication. Different people have different opinions about this language, but in my opinion, there is no harm in learning diverse languages.

Our country, India, is known for its only language Hindi but there are many places where people don’t know Hindi, but they know English. Learning the English language will make it easier for people to communicate with people in those areas. Nowadays, people are moving towards digital platforms, so it has become mandatory to learn English as a language as all the digital platforms use English as their medium language. Although there are many brands that customize the language section according to people’s preferences, still there are many brands that are available only in English. English is the only language that can be used when a person has to travel outside India. Apart from literature and foreign language studies, all other books are in English.

It is known for a fact that one should not forget one’s mother tongue, but one should always be open to more learning. It doesn’t harm anyone to learn English as a language. Learning English will just open the success doors for people. Also, it makes a person look more sophisticated. In our homes, generally, we use our mother tongue to communicate, but at workplaces or in some meetings, people are required to speak in English so as to put a nice and humble first impression in front of others.

Today, the scenario is like English is accepted everywhere and even we can see signboards on the roads in English. It is beneficial not only for Indians but also for foreign tourists to communicate when they come to India.

River Ganga is one of the most famous rivers in our country India. It is considered as a holy river for the people of India. People from all over the world worship the river Ganga as the sacred river of India. the River Ganga has a religious background in Hindu Mythology.

According to ancient history, a story is there behind the sacred powers of the river Ganga. King Bhagirath had some ancestors who had committed some immense sins. To cleanse his kingdom from the people who were involved in bad deeds, he meditated to appeal Goddess Ganga to life. It was believed that people could wash away their sins by bathing in the river and attain forgiveness.

The river Ganga is formed by the combination of two main tributaries- Bhagirathi and Alaknanda at Devprayag. Bhagirathi originates from the Himalayan glacier Gangotri whereas Alaknanda springs from Nanda Devi i.e. the northern peak of the Himalayas. Though Alaknanda and Bhagirathi are the two main tributaries of the Ganga, it is believed that Ganga actually rose from Gaumukh, which is to the southeast of Gangotri.

It is necessary to know that river Ganga flows through densely populated and productive areas of the Northern Subcontinent of India. The river provides livelihood to a number of people. Further, there are numerous birds who rely on it for their habitat. The river Ganga is home to more than 140 species of fishes and 90 species of amphibians. That is the sole reason why it is unbearable to see this sacred river deformed with the burden of human and industrial waste.

Although measures are being taken by the government to clean the river Ganga and in no time, it will again be the cleanest river of India. People should understand not to dump their human and industrial waste into the rivers because many people depend on rivers for their livelihood.

It means getting involved in physical activity and having fun at the same time. It brings out the kid in me and makes me feel rejuvenated.

This sport was invented back in the 19th century by the British. It was originated from a game named George Cajoles that was introduced in Pune. It was started by British officials. When they went back to England, the game gained much popularity. The rules of badminton were first arranged by the Bath Badminton club in the year 1877. Badminton was added to the list of Olympics in the year 1992. Though this game originated in England, but it was too popular among Asian countries as well like India, Kore, Indonesia, etc.

Badminton doesn’t require much of its kit. A couple of rackets, a shuttlecock, and a net are required to play this game. It can either be played in singles or doubles. The game is very simple. The players have to hit the shuttlecock with their rackets and not let the shuttlecock touch the floor.

I love to play badminton with my family and friends. This game can suit all the moods of people. When you are happy, you play the game and when you are sad, you play this game. You’ll feel good after playing badminton.

Vegetables play an important role in maintaining the good health of people. They are rich sources of vitamins and other important nutrients.

Vegetables are rich sources of proteins, minerals, phosphorous, iron, iodine, etc. All the leafy vegetables are a part of Vitamin A. Vegetables like peas, spinach comes under Vitamin B. Tomato, moringa contains vitamin C in them. And all the leafy vegetables definitely contain Vitamin K in them.

Apart from the eating benefits of vegetables, growing vegetables also have more income than any other source. Sufficient technical manpower is available in our country which can be utilized in growing vegetables. There is no scarcity of water for growing vegetables. An abundance of rainfall is already there, so the growing of vegetables is not a tough job to start.

Most of the vegetables do not contain fat or cholesterol. Adding different vegetables to your daily list may also reduce the risks of blood pressure. They are important for proper bowel movement. Fiber-containing food such as vegetables makes you feel full even when small quantities of vegetables are consumed.

A greenhouse is a structure that is generally made up of glass. Temperature and humidity can be controlled in a greenhouse for the protection of plants. A natural phenomenon that warms the Earth’s surface and troposphere is called the Greenhouse effect.

The greenhouse effect is induced by the presence of water vapor in the air, along with some other gases like carbon dioxide, methane, etc. These gases are called greenhouse gases. Of all those gases, water vapor has the most long-lasting effect.

The atmosphere admits most of the visible light from the Sun to pass through and enter Earth’s surface. As the Earth’s surface is warmed by sunlight, it reflects part of this energy towards space in the form of infrared radiation. This radiation, unlike visible light, directs to be incorporated by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, increasing its temperature. The heated atmosphere, in turn, reflects the infrared radiation towards the Earth’s surface.

Though we know that the greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon but mankind has a lot to do with this effect. This tremendous increase in the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is just because of human activities. Human beings are the reason behind many of the problems that the country is facing these days. We are advised by the government not to use Chlorofluorocarbons i.e. CFCs, which add to the greenhouse gases.

The greenhouse gases trap heat in them and then warm the Earth’s surface. Greenhouse gases comprise of carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide, and some other fluorinated gases. These molecules in our atmosphere are termed greenhouse gases as they assimilate the heat particles within them. These gases have a huge impact on our environment.

We know all the reasons behind this increase in the greenhouse effect and we can do a lot to prevent our environment, but nothing is being done by the people.

Plastic bags are non-biodegradable and remain for a long time in the environment. They take up to 1000 years to decompose. Plastic materials also clog waterways, oceans, lakes, etc, and also harm marine animals. There are many disadvantages of using plastic in the environment. Rather, we should try to use some of its alternatives. Jute is the best alternative to plastic.

Jute, on the other hand, is naturally green and 100 percent biodegradable. It is an eco-friendly material. It is not at all harmful to the environment. Amongst many of its products, the jute bag is in trend these days. It is soft, shiny, and strong as compared to the plastic bag.

These products are extremely important because of their flexible nature. They are used for the packaging of food. They are also very comfortable to be used to carry bulky items.

Another important feature of jute bags is that they can be used for promotional activities. As it is said that they are customizable, taglines for any product or logo of any brand can be printed over the bags. Advertising anything on a jute bag is the best tool any brand can practice.

If we go according to the statistics, India is one of the most populated countries in the world. However, the rate of girls’ education is very low in the country. It gets very disappointing to see such figures where women are bestowed as the status of Goddesses.

In ancient times, women were not even allowed to step out of the houses for any work. They were just made to sit back at home and do household chores. But times are changing now. The thinking of people is changing these days. There is a lot of improvement in the mindset of people now. Many people wish to educate their girls and make them succeed in life. However, in rural India, the scenario is entirely different. People don’t allow their girls to move out of their homes for studies. Girls are forced either to work on their farms or to sit back at home to help their mothers.

The government has also taken some initiatives to bring about a change in the education system in India. Many schools have been built in rural areas where the children can go and study free of cost and also they are provided with many benefits like Mid-Day meal. Mid-Day meals are provided in government schools where the children are been provided with the food without paying anything. All the expenses are been handled by the government.

Social issues lie child labor and child marriage are the problems that fall in the pathway of girl education. People should think beyond that and should try to educate their girls to make them succeed in life and achieve some great milestones. People pull off girls from school to marry them off at an early age. And also, child labor becomes a barrier for girls in their studies. They don’t get enough time to study.

We should understand our part and try to motivate them for studies and also help them in whatever way we can.

It is rightly said that “When you plant a tree, you plant a life”. Trees are the best gifts that Mother Earth has given us. The important thing that we should constantly remember is that trees do not need us, we need them. They provide us with several benefits in life. Mother Earth has given us this beautiful selfless gift. They never expect anything in return.

When it comes to humans, they often forget the importance and value of trees in our lives. They continue to exploit these selfless creatures. We can say that our friends are not there for us all the time, but trees are there forever and still, we are unable to understand their worth. They provide us shade, fruits, vegetables, and many more. It is almost impossible to survive without trees. The most important thing required for our survival is provided by trees, that is Oxygen. It is said that there are three basic things that a person required to survive in this world- Food, clothes, and home. Out of these, two are provided by trees themselves. They provide us with shade, which is a shelter for many living beings like animals, birds, and human beings as well. We also get all the vegetables from different trees. If we don’t have any trees on the planet, we won’t be able to survive. They are useful for providing us oxygen- the most required thing for humans.

Apart from giving so many things, they also prevent natural calamities like floods and droughts. They bind the soil tightly which prevents the soil to erode as well.

Despite having such a significant role in our life, humans are continuously exploiting nature and trees which are the only source of our survival. These days, people are following the trend of planting a tree at least on their birthday which is adding to the greenery in their house as well to their surroundings.
