A1 Dhan Dorji Pakhring,11mo Walk Fast Or Walk Longer? Saythe word “exercise,” you immediately imagine someone jogging down a path,pedaling fast on a stationary bicycle or sweating in a high-energy cardioclass. However, what might not come to mind is an image of a brisk walk on apleasant day. Just as other exercises vary in style, there are various types of walking styles.. So, isit better to walk faster or longer for better heart health? Short, Fast Walks If you have a busy schedule andstruggle to find time towork out each day, then short, fast walks provide all the benefits of aerobicactivity. The speed gives you “more bang for the buck” when you do not havemuch time to exercise. For example, high-intensity walking: •Strengthens the heart •Lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease •Improves cognitive function •Activates the immune system •Improves your mood About 15 minutes ofhigh-intensity walking a day equals about 30 minutes of moderate-intensitywalking. Long, Slower Walks A longer walk may take more time, butthe activity lowers your risk of injury and provides many of the same healthbenefits as walking faster. A longerwalk builds endurance so that you can, over time, cover longer distances.Consistent walking allows you to combine both distance and speed gradually. Ratherthan settle for only walking faster or only walking longer. Q2 What are Airtel’s safe custody benefits?

Q4 What are some of the greatest discoveries/inventions made byIndians in the last 200 years? A4 Roman Saini, Co-Founder, Unacademy Updated6y Yellapragada Subbarao Doesthe name ring any bell?Nope.No problem.Lets have a look at this pic then. Stillnothing? Nada? Iam pretty sure that most of you have never heard this name (except those living in Andhra Pradesh).Yet he was one of the most important biochemist and scientists of not onlyIndia but of entire world in the 20th century. He lead one of the mostimportant medical researches in America during World War Two. He discovered the role of phosphocreatineand adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as an energy source in the cell. This lead to the foundation of biochemistry andall the further discoveries in this field are directly or indirectly influencedby this. He developed methotrexatefor the treatment of cancer. This,without a doubt, is the single most important drug for the treatment ofinnumerable cancers. He has saved literally millions of life through this drug. He discovered Diethylcarbamazine. Thisdrug is the only good treatmentavailable for filariasis or elephant foot, which if not treated, makes the life of the patient aliving hell. Working under Subbarao's guidance, Duggar made his discovery of the world's firsttetracycline antibiotic , Aureomycin, in 1945. Do youhave any idea what does word Aureo signifies. It is a latin word for Gold, meaning that it ushered theGolden era of antibiotics where millions of death will be prevented. Despiteall these superhuman achievements: Exceptfew people who are working in this field, no one knows him, especially inIndia. He was denied fellowship in Harvard. He lived without a green card throughout his life. He was wronged by many of his fellowcolleagues, who tookall the fame, glory and patents on his work. He was awarded a lesser LMScertificate not a full MBBS degree despite being one of the best student in theclass. This is because he wore Khadisurgical dresses on Gandhi's boycott call, which displeased Dr. Bradfield, hissurgical professor. Please spread this message as much as youcan about Dr. Subbarao. He isone of the best minds India has ever produced and I always cry when peopledisplay their ignorance by saying that why don't India have good scientists inmedical field. He was, and still is, my inspiration topursue excellence in all theendeavors of human life. No matter how constrained and tied you are in terms ofresources, if you have talent and single-minded ruthless focus, like Dr.Subbarao, you can literally achieve whatever you want. Don'tbehave like dumb wits, worshiping celebrities, reality shows and stupid TVseries and movies, which lowers the IQ of entire human race. Lets celebrate our true heroes, which makeindelible impact on real life. Edit:Thanks for listening guys and promoting it. Keep it up and share it as much as you can, till allIndians are aware about this unrewarded genius. Q5 What is the difference between an educated person, anintelligent person and a genius? A5Lokenath Roy, Questions are just misunderstood answers May 20 An educated person is like a library -full of knowledge and facts,quotes and stories carefully sorted on shelves. An intelligent person is like a computer-able to processinformation quickly and connect disparate ideas in logical ways. But a genius is like a magical garden -where facts grow into deeper truths, logic blossoms into intuition, andknowledge takes on a life of its own. Education fills the mind, intelligencehones it, but genius ignites the heart. It buds from within, watered by passionand wonder. An educated person you can teach, an intelligent person you can discuss with. But a genius you canonly stand in awe of, as something new emerges from their interaction with theworld, revealing dimensions of experience you had not seen. Education organizes,intelligence analyzes, but only genius can create, giving form to what lies formless within,breaking rules yet making its own. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
