How Yoga & Walnuts May Enhance Heart Health

California Walnuts and Yoga

24th June 2024 Delhi, India A healthy, nutritious, and active lifestyle can go a long way in maintaining sound mental and physical health, and recent years have made us realize just how important it is to make health an utmost priority in our lives. So, this brings us to an important question: What does one do to stay fit and healthy in 2024? Integrative health coach Neha Ranglani has the answer: “A nutrition-rich diet, containing omega-3 ALA-rich walnuts, may help improve your cardiovascular health. Pair it up with yoga, which helps reduce stress, improve blood circulation, and control blood pressure levels, and you have a powerful combination for maintaining a healthy heart.”

California Walnuts and Yoga

And we couldn’t agree more! California walnuts, paired with the ancient practice of yoga offer complementary effects that can help not only our heart health but also our overall well-being.

Scroll down to read how yoga and walnuts benefit your heart:

1. Reduced stress

Yoga, an ancient Indian practice, involves a combination of body poses, breathwork, and meditation. This trio is known to be beneficial for our mind and body. Meanwhile, walnuts may help improve mood.1 These wonder nuts may be associated with lower depression symptoms, greater interest in activities, higher energy levels, better concentration, and greater optimism.2

2. Promote weight management

Obesity is one of the major risk factors for heart disease, and hence, weight management is key to protecting one’s self. Yoga and walnuts both promote weight management. A handful of walnuts contains 2.5g plant-based omega-3 ALA, 4g protein, 2g fiber, and several other essential nutrients.

Walnuts may have the potential to influence appetite hormones, suppressing hunger and making you feel satiated for longer. And if you feel full for longer, you avoid unnecessary and untimely cravings.3

3. Promote healthy gut

Studies suggest that walnuts enhance the growth of beneficial bacteria to ensure a healthy gut.4 And a healthy gut may be linked to a variety of health benefits, including digestion, metabolism, and the immune system.5 Meanwhile, yoga, through specific poses like Pavanamuktasana and Paschimottanasana, can help deal with symptoms of digestive disorders and improve overall gut health.

4. Improve cholesterol levels

Did you know: that eating walnuts may help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL) in our body?6 And while walnuts do that, yoga also supports good cholesterol levels with its healthy lifestyle and weight management properties.

Now that you have read about a few of the many benefits of yoga and walnuts for heart health, how about starting your day with a handful of California walnuts and 10-15 minutes of yoga (to begin with)? Your body and mind will thank you for this holistic approach towards a healthier, happier you!

24th June 2024 New Delhi, Delhi, IndiaJay TechnoChem, a pioneering technology startup dedicated to advancing the chemical industry through innovative solutions, has announced the launch of its chemical trading platform CHEMAXE in August 2024. This state-of-the-art platform is set to transform the chemical trading industry by addressing its longstanding inefficiencies and challenges.

CHEMAXE: Trade Live, Trade smart

Founded with a mission to integrate cutting-edge technology into chemical trading, Jay TechnoChem develops platforms, applications, and services designed to be the go-to resources for all information related to chemical trading and the broader industry. It has a vision to lead the way in technological innovation within the chemical sector, fostering a more efficient, accessible, and advanced industry for all stakeholders.

CHEMAXE exemplifies their commitment to revolutionizing the chemical trading landscape. Unlike conventional digital platforms, CHEMAXE will offer a comprehensive, live trading experience. It will use advanced algorithms to match buyers and sellers based on specific product requirements, ensuring efficient transactions and real-time price updates. This platform will address significant challenges faced by the chemical trading industry, which is often fragmented and unorganized. Traditional methods require excessive time for inquiries, negotiations, and networking, which is both stressful and inefficient. CHEMAXE is designed to enhance trust through transparent pricing and secure transactions, allowing buyers, sellers, and traders to develop better strategies and maximize deal value.

The initial concept for CHEMAXE emerged from the extensive experience of the Co-founder and Director of Jay TechnoChem, Mr. Ashok Lakhani, who has spent over 25 years navigating the complexities of the chemical trading industry. Driven by his ambition to create a better future for the next generation of traders, Mr. Lakhani dedicated over a decade to develop a solution that would provide accurate insights into chemical prices and improve the trading experience. His son, Mr. Jay Lakhani, joined the venture, bringing fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. Together, they began conceptualizing the platform in early 2023, and after approximately seven months of refining the blueprint, the development of CHEMAXE commenced in September 2023.

What sets CHEMAXE apart is its innovative use of advanced algorithms and real-time updates. The platform’s unique LTP (Last Traded Price) model guarantees that market prices remain tamper-proof, updating solely through organic trading activity. This mechanism enhances pricing fairness and significantly diminishes the impact of third-party influences. Additionally, CHEMAXE offers real-time trading and management tools, empowering users to respond swiftly to market conditions and refine their trading strategies. These distinctive features are poised to propel market growth and drive overall industry advancement.

As the launch approaches in the coming months, Mr. Ashok Lakhani, Co-Founder and Director of Jay TechnoChem, shared his thoughts on the CHEMAXE project, “Throughout my decades in the chemical trading industry, I have seen the market’s potential hindered by outdated methods and inefficiencies. CHEMAXE is our answer to these longstanding issues. By providing real-time trading, transparent pricing, and in-depth market information, we aim to empower traders and set a new standard for the industry. Our mission is to transform chemical trading into a seamless and efficient experience for everyone involved.”

While their current focus is on the successful market introduction and launch of CHEMAXE, Jay TechnoChem is committed to continuous upgrades and improvements in user experience. Future plans include expanding their services to international markets and implementing alternate trading methodologies, establishing CHEMAXE as the centralized hub for all chemical trading activities worldwide.

In addition to CHEMAXE, Jay TechnoChem has an array of upcoming models in development, each aimed at addressing various segments of the chemical industry. These future projects will be unveiled in stages, further cementing Jay TechnoChem’s commitment to lead technological advancement within the chemical sector.

After presenting a preview of CHEMAXE to their advisory panel, the response was overwhelmingly positive. Many industry leaders hailed the platform as the future of chemical trading. There is no doubt that CHEMAXE will revolutionize the sector. It’s only a matter of time before it becomes synonymous with all things chemical.
